does this support tablet ui change from the settings?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
No pollux_windy files at the moment- link goes nowhere :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
initial builds are like AOSP. no custom options or features. enjoy clean vanilla android :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
May I ask where are the files? The goo.im link is dead at least for the Wi-Fi version. Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
Is there a problem with the windy version? Seems only Pollux is getting KitKat loving
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
i dont have a windy

i'll put up a build or two for testing for windy tomorrow

if everything is ok, i'll add that to official nightlies :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
I'll test. thanks

ps. we've had builds windy in the past too and you're also the maintainer? :P

[MENTION=4308696]championswimmer[/MENTION] where can one follow the real time progress of the rom. AOKP is what CM used to be and it's my preference and opinion.

Thank you for maintaining this device
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
pollux_windy build updated

please test and i will enable official nightlies then :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Hi, I just tried the latest nightly for Pollux Windy, coming from cm11, I wiped everything and installed the rom and Bank's Core gapps for 4.4.2, after the initial setup a popup kept informing me that launcher 3 had stopped. Could this be because I should have used a more complete gapps package? Fortunately I got to go on Play store and download Nova, my preferred launcher and all is well! I use core gapps as that's all I need, should launcher 3 come with gapps or rom?

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Alx31:
Same here no matter the gapps pack, i tried 3 different ones.

Also as Vanir rom, when its in portrait no problem but in landscape, back key is calling google searchbar. I mean its like when u tap in search bar: keyboard popup and u cant get out from there...just by tapping home key

Sorry i needed tab so i flashed back cm, will provide logcat later...

Tapatalked from my PolluxWindy
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
If you would like to use TWRP Recovery with this ROM, you can use this app to install it

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mer.twrpxperia

Also, this app allows you to come back to CWM if you don't like it. This app works on all custom ROMs (that have FXP-based kernel) and allows installation of TWRP to FOTAKernel partition.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] rwilpstra:
Just flashed the latest windy nightly, and it softbricked.... The tablet won't even really even turn on for recovery. Thankfully, I have access to flashmode still.... I'll report back... If you are thinking of flashing this rom, make sure you know what you are doing...

*EDIT* Running stock 4.3.... I'm not very knowledgeable, but it seems like at least the 02, 25 nightly perhaps has a bad boot image...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cube44:
NFC bug

Hey there,

first of all: Great rom! working fine overall. :good: Just one thing thats bothering me. NFC is always on and can't be turned off. Even tried to uninstall it using recovery exploit with Titanium Backup with no success...

I'm on the latest pollux nightly btw. Any suggestions how to get this solved? It really eats up the battery...

Did not find really much about it on the web. Just that this bug seems to be pretty common with cm11?

Edit: Don't know if anybody else has this problem... Just in case: I finally managed to solve the problem by unchecking NFC in options and then rebooting the device right from that options screen. After reboot NFC is successfully turned off.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] vybztymz:
Install Greenify app - then you can set nfc to hibernate when not in use.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
This ROM is actually quite good. ART is working fine with this one.

The typical bluetooth bug is in this one too though.

There is also no double tap to wake.

Would be nice if the maintainer adds that into this rom if anyone is still reading this.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Latest nightly lags very badly. System reboots constantly... Unusable...

Flashed with full wipes
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] magno:
Can´t boot recovery

Hello.

I have rooted stock 4.2 and installed TWRP using the app.

When I reboot the Tab I dont get a pink LED. No matter how i press vol. up it still just boots into android.

Any advice someone ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Try installing twrp with rom toolbox (the free version can do also)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] magno:
Thx Will try that, already have the pro version.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
not going to work. you need to follow the instructions on the TWRP website (the dd command via adb shell).

BUT

first, you need you "fastboot boot" a recent boot.img from a cm11 ROM.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
build has been fixed and there will be new nightly tonight

sorry for delay, was really busy
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
[MENTION=4308696]championswimmer[/MENTION]

Thank you very much. This build is working great! Very smooth.

Two things that I noticed... could be fixed?

Battery text on status bar is smaller than date/clock. Can it be same size?

On lock screen, the charging (battery)% text overlaps with the unlock ring.... some space between them would be great :)

Thanks for this great rom!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
Could you send in screenshots of the second problem (lockscreen) ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Sure, here you go
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] blackassassinuk:
Having issues with last two nightlys on Pollux.

Neither will boot into device and gets stuck at the boot animation and makes a clicking noise every 15 seconds or so. This was on a clean install.

I redownloaded just in case and same issue. Previous to this the builds were all working fine.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] superwahwah:
Nice release, is it possible to add the tape2wake function ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] spoonymoon:
HEI

Will this boot proper after clean install and flash ?

Dont seem so recording too latest post's?

And does kernen have fastcharge, it'sent mentiod in op?

THX in advance:)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Finally a new nightly is up ☺
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] AllanJacques:
Sadly none of the nightlies worked for me.

All of them had aosp keyboard stopped working and it was impossible to use...

Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped. SOLVED

Sadly, same problem here.

24th May (2014-05-24) build for Pollux_Windy

Full wipe then wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data. Install AOKP + AOKP Gaaps, reboot. Goes through bootanimation then get "Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped." at set-up screens. :(

Tried twice, same problem.

UPDATE : SOLVED : Problem is with AOKP Gapps (downloaded from Goo). I used Gapps from ParanoidAndroid instead - problem gone :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] AllanJacques:
I was going to post this but you beat me to it...

Anyway I was helped by [MENTION=3859635]varben[/MENTION] and he told me to change gapps to PA ones.

BTW, how does this rom fare against CM11?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
I like this better, much more features and customisations :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Well there is more customization than CM11 - but a big down-side is no Double-Tap-To-Wake (or if there is, I can't find it).

For me, this is a deal-breaker so I've gone back to CM11.

I'm a bit surprised at this as I beleive the maintainer (@championswimmer) has implemented this on other Xperia devices.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] AllanJacques:
Actually I am testing CM11 now and really liking it...

Gps Working for me
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] stoneh:
yes! May someone can find "Double-Tap-To-Wake" in this rom ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
It is usually the Wi-Fi only (Pollux windy) devices that suffer from GPS problems as they do not have the same coms hardware/firmware as an LTE device.

Sadly most ROM development is done primarily for phones, hence extra work has to be done for us poor souls with WiFi only tablets.

Annoying,really, as the majority of Tablet Zs are WiFi only :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] romskii:
I hope latest 4.4.4 build is coming to pollux soon :)

isn't it on AOKP necessary to flash the CM11 boot.img before flashing the ROM?

[Nexus 5 General] mpkothari:
As a preface, I'm in northeast NJ. I had been on a family plan on 4.4 for about three weeks on AT&T and the service reception was excellent (usually 3-4 bars LTE). Switched to tmo last week and still only saw a drop of one bar in LTE (2-3, sometimes 4). With 4.4.1 and the new baseband, I'm getting pretty poor reception - mostly 1 or 2 bars.

Is anybody else noticing a drop in LTE connectivity on the tmo prepaid plain, especially in the northeast? And is it safe to flash the 4.4 radio just to see if that improves my signal?
[Nexus 5 General] jnehama:
I'm on Long Island. On T-Mobile for a month, switched from Verizon. I saw a drop in LTE by bars but no real change in subjective decrease in reception. I haven't seen a noticeable change since I flashed rooted 4.4.1 but I flashed the radio at the same time. I've had no issues related to flashing the update.
[Nexus 5 General] jeremykersh:
I'm not convinced the bars indicated mean all that much. I prefer to compare using a something like ookla speed test

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ce=stnet&utm_medium=mobile&utm_campaign=stnet

once you have several "base" tests at your most common destinations (home/work) feel free to flash diff radio to see if your signal improves.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
[Nexus 5 General] Letitride:
I'm reasonably confident that Google/LG did not push out the OTA update to 4.4 that is worst than the previous radio, not on purpose - and single out the T-Mo prepaid users. Those signal bars by itself, as poster above said, are meaningless - I look at dBm and asu figures to try to sort out the changes as we have 3 prepaid T-Mo lines in our house including 1 on PAYG and no data, mostly for WiFi calling. I also have an AT&T Gophone line and will check it out via one of the two Nexus 5, both are now on 4.4.1 but spliting the radio.

I can easily roll back one of the 16G device to 4.4 to look at more specific results or measurements, instead of the indicator bars alone. Now that Mrs. L is home with her white Panda, we are seeing a subtle difference but insignificant one, but both download & upload speed had dropped - regardless of which radio was used, on the newest KOT19E 4.4.1 rom. I have an unconfirmed suspicion that T-Mo engineers have been tweaking their tower's signals across the board on either the hardware or software level, or both, and making adjustments since some of the "hyper" speed that we are enjoying are bandwidth hogs - imagine the drain for one tower resulting from a few dozens Nexus 5 streaming youtube or tethering ... We might be seeing some sort of throttling on their backend & we should consider looking into all directions to help explain what some of the posts are now saying.

Has anyone on T-Mo with official tethering on their plan spoke to tech support & get a trouble ticket going ... it seemed that we are just barking at Google, just my two cents for what it's worth.

Bump!

I am having the same problem, but, when I go to benchmark, my results are 99% and the video runs perfectly, the problem is when I actually play it (not benchmark playing), the playback is terrible and very very jerky. I am using the tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab with all the plug-ins, doesn't anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

REMEMBER: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK..DO FOLLOW STEPS SO THAT YOU WONT ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEMS.!

Thinking that your phone is bricked??

Ever wonder how to get the hell out of the ''Fastboot mode started udc_start()''..??

Worry not.. The help is here.. :))

Note: *This usually happens when you flash something and failed.

*Don't worry your device is not fully bricked.. There are many ways to fix this..

*Before proceeding please make sure your phone is charged even if the backlight is always on while charging..

* Remember make sure LG UNITED (Driver of your phone) is already installed (to avoid PHONE WAS NOT FOUND)!!!!!!

*This will restore your Original Rom.

*This Works On All Variants Of Optimus One (LG-P500,LG-P505,LG-P506,LG-P509) and other few devices

*For the Prerequisites (Below)..

Prerequisites:

*KDZ Updater/Lg United

*Windows Pc/Usb cable

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:Download the prerequisites. Disable all LGE modems under modems from Windows device manager in

the control panel.. (Simply click start then type ''Device manager'' click it. then you will see there under MODEMS)

STEP 2:Exract the files..Open the KDZ Folder to your desktop and Right click on the "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" and

click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

STEP 3:Open the "Original firmware" folder and run it, type the serial number on the blank form entry. You can

Find you serial number on the back of you phone, remove the battery and look for the sticker attached to you phone.

If you fail to launch this software, you will have to install net. framework 4.0, just open your browser and type

NET.framework 4.0. Download it and install. After this you are able to run the software.After you type down the serial

number of your device click save and just save it on you DESKTOP. Wait until it is finished. This takes some time.

Internet connection needed as this software is downloading the ''KDZ file'' needed for the "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe".

STEP 4: Now lets go to your phone,press and hold both the back(return) button and the volume up button and

simultaneously connect the USB cable.. (The phone should light up and say Emergency mode!! in a green

The phone should light up and say Emergency mode!! in a GREEN/YELLOW background. (if not don't continue...)

STEP 5:After the download lets go back to "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" .. Follow this settings... TYPE:3GQCT

PHONE MODE: DIAG Select the cab file (the one you downloaded ''KDZ file'' located at DESKTOP) The version

will depend on the ''KDZ file'' you downloaded. EX: (mine is V10F_00.kdz so the version will be V10F_00) after this

click "LAUNCH SOFTWARE UPDATE'' THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME..... WAIT FOR IT....

For most of you it would probably say PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!..To avoid this please make sure you have

follow my note written above..

STEP 6:DONE... ITS ALL FIX NOW.. YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT NORMALLY WITHOUT THE

'FASTBOOT MODE STARTED UDC_START()' :good: :highfive:

STEP 7:AND FINALLY.... ONE MORE STEP.... PRESS THE "THANK" BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU .:fingers-crossed:

CREDITS:

@XDA DEVELOPERS For the awesome ''original lg firmware'' !! :))
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
First, this method should work for all Optimus One variants. P500, P505, P506, P509, and a few others

Second, a couple corrections, if you don't mind...

Step 3: ... type down the serial number... This is incorrect. This should be IMEI number. IMEI and Serial are two different things.

Step 4: ... Emergency mode!! in a green background... Emergency mode has a Yellow background and "Emergency Mode" printed on the screen in Red.

Third,

When something goes wrong, the device will first attempt to boot to recovery. If it can't boot to recovery for whatever reason, then the device will reboot to fastboot mode. From here there are other options, not just KDZ. KDZ should be the last line of defense as it has bricked many Optimus One's and it's variants. If the device drivers had been previously installed correctly to a Windows PC, then fastboot.exe or any GUI tool for fastboot.exe can flash a recovery that can then be used to repair/replace the device's OS. Linux/Unix users don't need drivers to communicate with USB devices, only a 51-android.rules file and a fastboot executable for Linux/Unix.

Don't take what I've said the wrong way. I'm not trying to shoot your guide down. This is the kind of activity that is encouraged at XDA not discouraged ;) I just wanted to inform you that there are other options. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] karan.scorpion:
Thanks a lot. You really saved my phone. Worked like a charm. My device is back to life and working good :)
