Are you planning on following "official" Paranoid Android releases schedule? I mean, they've "just" released BETA5, or are you releasing at your own pace? I'm not asking for ETAs, just wondering.

Thank you for your work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Yep BETA5 will be up tonight. I'm in the process of linking my files with the PA servers, in order for Paranoid OTA to recognise the ROM and notify you all when an update is available ;)

As for the release schedule, yes I'll follow PA's. Looks like HALO will be available shortly :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] asdf-chan:
Oh! Does this mean our device is gonna be officially supported (by you)? Wow, I'm delighted, even if it was a *custom* build I'd keep using it, but you gave us some awesome news, thanks for your efforts again!
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Yes hopefully
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
The only thing holding me back from flashing this , is there are no hybrid setting yet. Hopefully PA will merge these soon :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
BETA5 now online. Paranoid OTA isn't configured yet so please use the traditional method.

I tried this ROM early today for a few hours but i had to revert back to CM11..

I really really need Google Menu uptions to set.. I like to set Screenshot & Screen off in my shortcuts. It saves me wearing my power button out.

Download link is working fine.

Yes you're right it is a kernel and blobs bug, I have not experienced any stuttering myself. However I will upload another build with hopefully a fix.

Thank you, look forward to your next release fixes this bug.

Speaking of strange, aokp and omni should also use the same kernel source code, why not this bug, as well as to resolve this bug, only the lowest adjusted to 486MHz cpu frequency can be solved, which is why ?

Has the "Unknown Baseband" bug been fixed? Just wondering. I had that problem for the previous version.
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
It's the first I've heard of it tbh. A new build is on the way so that might fix it.

Sorry. It's "Baseband Unknown". :p

You change it via build.prop? Or there is a settings from pa??
[Xperia Z Android Development] celeriL:
Hi, I can't find where's the settings for the ROM. Where do you change your dpi?
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Change it in build.prop for now, Hybrid Settings is still WIP.

With root explorer go to system. Open build prop. And find lcd density. Change it to 320 then save and reboot device. There is no problem with this dpi. Safe to use

That will be available in the new 4.4 beta 1 build, which apparently is not yet ported to our device. A little more patience ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] outcrash:
I don't think it's paranoids fault. About half a year ago i was using pac rom with an app which also offered this hover notification feature. I think it was 'slide locker'.

And there was exactly the same screen flicker like now with pa. It also didn't happen always, just sometimes.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jodus:
Aah indeed I thought build 7 was pa 4.4. Looking forward to it.
[Xperia Z Android Development] belesti:
Peek doesn't show the notification description on my phone. All I get is the notification symbol without contact name, app name, anything. Is this intended? Anyone else experiencing this?
[Xperia Z Android Development] AzharYusri:
Black spots on camera

You guys experience any black spots on your camera using this rom? I got 8 black spots using this rom, 2 black spots on OmniRom but when i use stock rom there's none. It's a software problem right rather then dusts trap inside?

Can anyone confirm the hover black screen issue?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Jodus:
I can confirm that, very irritating.
[Xperia Z Android Development] gregland:
For stopping flickering screen during hover, disable "HW overlay" in dev option . It works for me.
[Xperia Z Android Development] belesti:
Okay I realised that Peek doesn't show the text when lockscreen security is enabled.

But I have another question: is Peek supposed to only show the sender name or the message content as well? From what I see in screenshots and video demos, it seems like Peek only shows the sender name but for me it shows the message content as well.

Is there a way to only display the sender name and not the message content?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Aka91:
Flashed this...

The hover issue is not present..and am happy with the rom..okayish battery and everything seems good and stable.
[Xperia Z Android Development] RedSpiDer:
Flashed this yesterday... generally it's really good and feels pretty snappy :D.

I only had one issue with the text disappearing from the home screen and the settings menu for no reason, a restart fixed it, but I have no idea what happened. Anybody got any idea what might have been wrong?

Also how can I make the keyboard notification not show up from above? I put the keyboard to not show notifications and added it to the blacklist, but it still pops up.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Laird_Attwood:
The geolocation of callers no longer works, It states "we currently accept only US numbers" however this does work in the UK on many ROMs/Custom and stock

Thank you for your time but I have a problem. I hope I'm not the only one as I made a clean install.

Whenever I try to turn up the volume and appears a pop-up asking me if I want to disable the advert, whichever option I choose I get a soft reboot. Only with this pop-up though.

Came back to PA after a brief return to stock. It's definitely much better than stock and gives a much more smoother experience. Battery life, is a bit on the weaker side but thats expected of AOSP roms, but one can live with it.

Again, great job, keep it up..!!

So I've been hearing conflicting things... Is the battery life better or worse then stock? I've never installed a custom ROM like this before so have no idea what to expect.
[Xperia Z Android Development] msc3169:
Custom ROMs such as PA/CM/AOSP will never give you stock like battery life. But having said that its the only negative as there are numerous other advantages which is why people switch to custom ROMs.

sent via XPERIA™ Z
[Xperia Z Android Development] feydakin:
That's just not True, on some devices custom Roms have a much better battery time because they are not running a bunch of useless crap in the back
[Xperia Z Android Development] msc3169:
I said that from what I've experienced so far on this device. Battery life isn't that much of a concern anyways as users are more interested in the various customization features exclusive to these custom roms

Depends on your usage bro... If you use stamina mode and generally keep the minimum brightness... You will have better battery on stock... If u never used that you won't see much difference

Yes this has less running services.

stable?

Hello SuperHanss

Is this ROM really an everyday workhorse?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but pure admiration for all the devs and their work. The same goes for you. Been on custom roms since my X10 mini and Neo times.

I am checking this thread daily and see bugs and "next build fixes" posts all the time. So is it rather WIP or ever-evolving thing? Should I wait some time for Stable version or go ahead with RC(x)?

I mean, what I expect is basic functions to work (like on stock) with some extra tweaks. I am very much tempted to try out your ROM, but I don't want to deal with data, or wifi, or mic problems as my "Z" is the only phone I use.

I hope this did not come out offensively or something. I did not mean to. Just asking...
[Xperia Z Android Development] _DX_:
I think it's a normal reaction to the posts you see here, but remember: People will always complain when something is wrong. A far smaller group actually posts something when it's working like it should (probably because that's what they expect it to do). The latest (4.4 RC2) version has been downloaded 423 times from the main server, 121 times from the mirror. I have no idea how many have used the OTA update (like me). Keep that in mind when you see users complain in this thread... There are about 530 people who are not ;)

Most of these are individual problems, like conflicting apps, not doing a full wipe when they should, or a corrupted file after download (always do an MD5 check!). For me personally this is very much a daily driver, which I have been using for several months now. Yes there are a few little glitches, but nothing that will prevent you from using your phone. Internet (3G and WiFi), calling, gaming is all working fine for me. If you experience the screen flicker when a Hover notification shows, and you find it annoying, you can turn Hover off. You can still make calls either way... For me it's a small trade-off for having the latest and greatest, and being able to customize the phone to my personal taste.

The choice is yours, but don't putt it of because some others have problems. If you have problems, we can try to help. Worst case? It doesn't work for you and you can flash back your previous ROM or go back to stock :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] doomhammer07:
Screen flickering while using hover disappeared for me after selecting the 'disable hw overlays' options in developer settings
[Xperia Z Android Development] putu13:
Thank you _DX_

that is kind of what I wanted to hear. You just sold the rom to me ;)

As soon as I get to backup my current rom I will give this one a spin. I will test it few days and try to be one of those to report if it DOES work flawlessly :cool:

Thanx again, mate.

Cheers
[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
I don't use any of the fancy gimmicks like hover and peek so I can't confirm if they work or not.

But what I can say is this is defiantly a daily driver. I've used this for about a week now and experienced no bugs at all , everything is very smooth. Its a great ROM!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] _DX_:
I know ;) I mentioned it as an example. And disabling HW overlay did reduce it greatly for me, but but it does not prevent the flickering completely (for me, that is). Besides, whith HW overlay disabled, project butter is out of the window as well, so hopefully a more permanent solution will come up soon :)

No pressure there, then :p I'm curious to hear what your experiences are! :)
