New experimental build is up:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=16998&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

Changelog:

- Latest PA stuff form gerrit

- Latest 10.5.A.0.233 kernel source

- Latest recents card stack code (still beta so expect the occasional bug)

- Added back vibrator intensity (Settings>Legacy parts)

- Added proximity check (Settings>Legacy parts)

- USB OTG should be fixed, haven't tested it

Dirty flash should be fine, clean flash if you run into problems.

P.S. For those that are experiencing screen flickering with Hover, add this to the end of your build.prop:

debug.composition.type=gpu

This permanently enables the "Disable HW overlays" option in dev settings and is a temporary fix until the flickering issue is located and fixed.

Getting a Bootstall after the Sony logo after flashing. :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
I tested it before uploading and it was fine. The first boot will take a while, give it time.
[Xperia Z Android Development] herubrand:
Thanks! Working very smooth on my phone. No issues whatsoever.
[Xperia Z Android Development] wat':
Gave it a second try and waited for about 5min, nothing happens, just a black screen after the Sony logo.

Going to flash the old boot.img because I can't get in the recovery. Too bad, hoped it would work without a clean install.

EDIT: Nope doesn't boot even after complete wipe. The Sony logo vanishes surprisingly fast, even before the pink light shows up, usually it takes longer.

EDIT2: nvm got it working after flashing back to stock first.

Thanks man, Such a simple thing and I missed it :P
[Xperia Z Android Development] greasegraphic:
stuck on PA logo... Help?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Greg77970:
Hi, I flashed latest test build and all is working great :)

And I love the new design of legacy part ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] -droidberg-:
Thank you for the efforts [MENTION=4983940]SuperHanss[/MENTION] the last experimental works like a charm, i have no more flickering with Hover.

Any advices on Governors? I'm not into gaming, just browsing and chatting.
[Xperia Z Android Development] badflife:
Unfortunately the sound problem isn't fixed.

Dirty flashed your latest experimental.

When the headphones are plugged in half then I can hear sound from the left side.

When I plug it in full the sound is gone.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Bullsheet:
Guys i'm facing this issue on 4.45 Beta2. Even if i choose "use recent to close all apps", in the upper right of recent apps there's still the close all button, how can i remove it?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Greg77970:
Hi, I was facing this issue and after flashing the experimental build, I don't have this problem anymore ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Does this ROM include the kernel which will allow gamma control? And if so, can I use an app like Display Control which will allow me to apply color presets?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
Everything works perfectly in the lastest experimental build, except that hover flickers but sounds like it will be fixed later on so I'm perfectly happy :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
Okay there is one annoyance I've noticed, my lockscreen keeps getting blurred after reboot which means I can't use my lockscreen wallpaper anymore. Didn't they remove the blur in latest PA so this may be a general bug, because there is no see-through toggle in settings anymore as expected :p Is there anything one can do to remove this?

After running this great rom for about 2 weeks my phone hangs every 3-4 days when i try to unlock the screen. The softbuttons and the screen won't work and i need to reboot the phone using power + vol up-button to use it normally again - any fix for that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Nightwish sgsl:
Bro turn off double tap to wake screen option. This is the reason of this bug.turn off and you will not face this issue
[Xperia Z Android Development] ShellingFord91:
Does it make a difference to activate the double tap to wake-option via xposed module or do i have the same bug with that?
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Hmm not too sure then. Can you provide a logcat?

Wow that is weird, lockscreen blur was removed a while back. Are you using Xposed? Might be a module that's causing it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Nightwish sgsl:
You cant enable double tap to wake with xposed module... With xposed you can activate only double tap statusbar to sleep..double tap to sleep doesnt create that screen bug. Only double tap to wake is reason. Disable it and you are good to go
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
I had checked that but turns out there was an "normal" root app that I had missed that caused it, thanks for your reply and sorry for the trouble :)

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

If I should be honest this sounds more like a problem with your connector or earphones rather than the software, I have heard of similiar problems in the past where the hardware was to blame.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ShellingFord91:
I think this module (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-wake-gestures-v1-1-t2768266) can do this? But when the bug occurs also it doesn't matter
[Xperia Z Android Development] Nightwish sgsl:
Oh, i wasnt aware of this module existed) i havent tried it so i dont know. This gestures will not work right away. They should be supported by kernel. Does our rom's kernel support that?i dont know) you need to try. )
[Xperia Z Android Development] Greg77970:

[Xperia Z Android Development] Groovecain:
Hey ,finally done install this awesome rom , but i had problem which is i cannot mount my External SD Card , it's also same in CWM , cannot mount the Ext-SD Card , is it only me or this is global bug :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
That's usually the sign of a dying sd card. I've replaced CWM with TWRP in the BETA6 build, so you might want to see if that fixes it once BETA6 is up.
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
So much for hidden files remaining hidden. If you downloaded BETA6 from my rom folder PLEASE DON'T FLASH IT!

It should've been hidden but obviously wasn't.

I'm uploading the proper BETA6 now.

Cheers all.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Groovecain:
well , i dont think that's my sd card is dying , like you mention it in messages (thanks for the explanation YukiS :D) , my sd card also formatted to exFat , so i hope when you implemented exFat support my sd card will works again , but no rush for you :D ,

is beta6 still uploading :D :D ?
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
BETA6 is now properly up, download directly or use Paranoid OTA (recommended) :p

pa_yuga-4.0-BETA6-20140217.zip

Only a minor update on PA's side - Changelog

Updates from me:

- TWRP has now replaced CWM recovery (due to ease of use and CWM is too buggy)

- Fixed Paranoid OTA bug that prevented PA Gapps updates from showing

Next thing to do is add exFAT support, I'll need testers!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Groovecain:
awesome ! , PM me maybe i can help you for exFAT testing :P
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Will do ;)

Official PA maintainer for the Xperia Z

It's official! I'm now the Paranoid Android maintainer for the Xperia Z :D

So to celebrate here's a small early update:

pa_yuga-4.0-BETA6-20140221.zip

Changelog:

- Included exFAT support - Thanks to [MENTION=2940884]Groovecain[/MENTION] for testing

- Included Double Tap 2 Wake the proper way with no additional battery drain, huge thanks to [MENTION=4308696]championswimmer[/MENTION] for that one (Toggle can be found in Settings>Display)

- Cleaned up some stuff

Please note your existing version of Paranoid OTA won't find this latest ROM, this is because ROMs will now be uploaded to the main PA server. So download the ROM using the link in the OP.

Cheers all.

great rom....only issue is no notification led when charging and notification sound seem to be low

I'll look into the charging LED issue.

Notification volumes are fine for me, they will be the same for all 4.4.2 ROMs.

Isn't it suppose to tell us which network is 3G, which network is LTE when we're choosing it manually? Furthermore, choosing the network manually doesn't work, it just shows "Can't connect to the network at the moment, try again later". I've tried different sims but none of them works. Hope that you can look into these issues. By the way, congratulation for becoming the official maintainer of this device and thank you for whatever your contributions for this phone! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Logcat please
[Xperia Z Android Development] Nightwish sgsl:
Bro thank you for your hard work! but i have a question. i am using this rom since yesterday. sometimes notification shade animation is smooth.But most of the time its choppy laggy. Is there any way to make it smooth like stock?(

Are there any PA settings besides the OTA?
[Xperia Z Android Development] javagreen:
Hey guys, I'm on CM11 at the moment and I'm satisfied with it. However I've been reading about PA and I'm getting more and more curious/anxious to try it.....

Can someone tell me is everything is working in this ROM, at least everything that's working in CM11, is working here too? I'd ideally flash the experimental build to get the latest stuff...

Help? :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
Everything IS working in this ROM, I've not had a single problem with anything, one of the stablest ROMs around :)

And the non experimental builds are actually newer than the experimental so I see no reason really for flashing the experimental ones since I didn't notice any performance improvement using them, but that's up to you.

Besides pop-up settings, there are the battery one and enable/disable Peek and Hover. Some other misc settings too.
[Xperia Z Android Development] javagreen:
That's great, thanks for your reply!

I read in this thread that the Beta4 is out, however I see only beta 3 on the OP link. Is there a link for the Beta 4?

And how to update to the latest builds. OTA?

Sorry for the questions - just want to make sure.. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
Happy to help :) It's out on the OTA app and on the official hostingsite http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/yuga/ :) And yes OTA or the normal way.
[Xperia Z Android Development] javagreen:
Flashed and loving it, the PIE controls will take some time getting used to, it's awesome though :D

Beta 1 of 4.6 is out with dynamic system bars.... can't wait for the Yuga build :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Hi, can someone help me out here...

I am coming from Sony's stock 10.5.A.0.230 firmware, unlocked and rooted. If I flash TWRWP 2.7.1.0 following the instructions found here, do I still need to do step 3: fastboot flash boot boot.img (from zip file)? Or can I just go straight into flashing the ROM and Gapps? Also re: OTA, will the TWRP recovery remain after an update or will I have to reflash it?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Yeap flash TWRP first and skip the fastboot part.

As for OTA updates, TWRP is flashed to the FOTAkernel which means it will remain permanently as your recovery until you decide to remove it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Thanks for the fast response! Just a quick follow up question, the instructions on their site tell me to run the following commands in terminal:

But then it also says:

I'm not quite sure what "lk" is. Do I need to input the latter command, or just the first one? Thanks again
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
First one
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
I followed the instructions exactly without any error messages but I am not able to boot into recovery mode :confused: When I power on the device, I do not get a purple LED, and when I press the volume up button anyway, it just boots into normal mode. I've also tried adb reboot recovery and an app to boot into recovery but still not working. I have typed the command exactly the same.

Do you know what the problem is? Can I try the second command even though I don't have a little kernel?

I really appreciate your help. Just want to get this installed before I install PA. Thanks!
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Try flashing the boot.img from the zip first (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Then boot into recovery which should be CWM, and run the commands in adb shell.

Then reboot and try entering recovery, it should now be TWRP.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Hmmm...just tried that. Now I am getting the violet LED, but after pressing volume+ repeatedly, recovery still does not appear and instead goes into a bootloop :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Well that's how I did it, that was a while back with an older version though.

Fastboot flash the boot.img again and use CWM to wipe and install the ROM and Gapps. Then try it again when you're booted into PA.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
I'll give it a go. Thanks

After a very stressful hour, unable to get into flash mode, I was finally able to restore stock firmware using the Sony Flash Tool. Before I follow your steps again, do I need to unlock my bootloader again or has that remain untouched from restoring to stock firmware?
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
The bootloader will still be unlocked
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
I flashed the boot.img in the PA rom and again, it does not boot into recovery. Violet led flashes but when press the volume button nothing happens - just goes into a boot loop. Very frustrating...I've come so close to PA but I can't get it working.
[Xperia Z Android Development] wat':
Did you flash any official Sony 4.4 ROM before? I had the exact same problem and I after flashing a firmware with the newest stock kernel it worked just fine.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Hey, yh I flashed the official stock firmware 4.4.2 firmware each time I got a bootloop. No luck. But perhaps I did something wrong, do you mind posting the exact steps you took? Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] javagreen:
4.6 Beta 1 going great on my Z, thanks SuperHanss :D

Is there anything I can do to hide the clock on the Status bar? No Xposed as I'm on ART.

Does anyone experience slight lags in UI after enabling the Dynamic status/navigation bar? The lags are gone after disabling it.

sent via XPERIA™ Z
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tijmen:
Same here, pretty much as expected because it's a very resource hungry function.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vishalkris:
Dynamic stausbar is an alpha and in its initial stages so these are expected
[Xperia Z Android Development] Osyx:
Quick tip: Enable Dynamic Statusbar in Settings/Display.

However it may effect perfomance and battery life. As taken from the official AOSPA blog:

"There are still some bugs here and there for DSB with the most worrying ones being related to performance and in turn battery usage, but regardless of that this release should be rather solid and enjoyable by all."
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
I hope you're all enjoying DSB, and that performance isn't too much of an issue. Bear in mind it is the first release!

Things can only get better...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Tijmen:
It looks great and the performance hit seems to be pretty small, so I'm certainly enjoying it. Will see how it affects battery life by the end of the day...
[Xperia Z Android Development] -droidberg-:
DSB is great and i had it enabled couple of hours ago and it seems to work pretty good for me! Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] javagreen:
Okay, which other kernel can I use with this ROM? Can I use the stock kernel which comes with CM11 KMA builds? I just flash the boot.img to move to that kernel, right?

Help, please!
[Xperia Z Android Development] sekac55:
No you cant because the kernel from KMA build are based on .233 blobs and the normal build provided official by Paraniod is not based with the blobs.

Edit: I have tried the lightning kernel but bootloop, you can try Moew kernel but i dont tried them. Just wait for experimental build from SuperHanss or from thomas1991_12 but it will not have the special features becauce the source code is in moment not public
[Xperia Z Android Development] javagreen:
Aha I see, which other kernel can I use, any idea?

I just need the Wheatley governer + FIOPS scheduler, I always have the absolute best performance/battery life with these.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vishalkris:
As pa is basically based on CM try lightning kernel .230 blob based
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
I finally managed to flash PA on my Xperia Z! So pleased with the ROM :)

Just a quick question though, can I change the gamma settings with Faux123 Kernel app?

Edit: OK, just found out I cannot configure gamma on stock PA kernel. So looking at the above post, can I flash lightning kernel? Even though right above that post someone has said lightning kernel will result in a boot loop :confused:

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

When you put phone to your pocket, turn around it to touch your leg by back, not the display ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
The official builds use the current CM kernel without extras, which is why you've lost features.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Hey SuperHanns, enjoying your PA rom very much, but I wanted to know if I can flash lightning non .233 kernel alongside it? I want to configure my gamma, and as I understand it, this kernel allows me to do that.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Should be fine, backup in recovery first and try it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Khaiyan:
Unfortunately it didn't work :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Might be because this ROM is still using old blobs. I hope to merge the latest .233 blobs over on PA Legacy github soon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Zewarxx:
I was doing so but it's dangerous people are moving around like sheep nowadays :D thanks for answering mate enjoy your day

PA specific settings

After few weeks of hesitation I have finally unlocked BL and installed this ROM. (4.4.5 (20140729))

I promised to write a short review as I was told the happy customers never come back to report :)

But before I do that I would like to explore the ROM through and through.

Is there any list of PA specific settings? I don't feel like digging into every menu item and try to remember if it was in stock or not.

Also, I was used to 5 button menu Sleep | Back | Home | Recent apps | Menu (Sleep button was also present on lock screen)

is there a way to achieve that as it is very very convenient.

Anyway, I am about 20hrs in and so far the ROM is super smooth and overnight battery drain was 1% (couldn't really believe that :) )

thank you all if you have any advise and thanks to SuperHanss for outstanding work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] msc3169:
PA has always been my personal favourite, since my Xperia Arc days. It's a great rom with just the right amount of tweaks which keeps it simple yet sets it apart from the others.

4.4.5 version is an older version you are using there, the latest version is 4.6 Beta which has a couple of extra things.

Head over to the paranoid android changelog thread mentioned in OP to know about the various settings.

As far as navigation bar is concerned you cant change them to a 5 button version.
