Camera focus is not working properly
[Xperia Z Android Development] Vishalkris:
this is what I'm talking about

Since I moved to KitKat PA

[Xperia Z Android Development] leongzxc:
i think this happens to all CM based roms as the camera files will not be the same since sony did not release them (i think)

this is why on stock its very clear while on CM its not

but then again, its a win-win

you use stock = its a little bloated but you have a good camera

on CM/PA/etc = its very fast, not bloated, and camera is GOOD enough at least.. during daylight (with full light from every direction)
[Xperia Z Android Development] jindal_bharat:
i dont have this problem, try to reflash the rom and then see.
[Xperia Z Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Currently I'm using PACMAN rom.

But I want to try ParanoidAndroid on my Z. But do I still need to flash the kernel first? I already have a custom kernel and recovery.

What are the steps if you're coming from other custom roms?

The OP looks more like when you come from stock.

Edit: typos
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Nope just enter recovery full wipe flash ROM then gapps then custom ROM if you want to use one if so lightning works and I believe KMA also works

I did some test with camera. Day night, indoor and outdoor.

Photos: PA have more quality but autofocus is often slow. Stock rom have very fast autofocus but in low light there is too much noise.

Videos: PA not recording at 30 fps fixed, sometimes the videos are not exactly fluid and video camere is very slow tu autofocus during video recording. Stock rom recording always at 30fps, videos are always fluid and autofocus is very fast during video recording.

For me camera stock is much better. But PA rom is much better, more fluid and reactive. With PA rom i have more battery, is more beautiful and more customizable.

Sorry for my english :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] B14ck7hund3r:
I tested some camera apps on stock rom, they all behave like used under CM/PA (slow reaction, seeker blurry when moved a bit, etc.), while the stock camera is still snappy and delivers almost a real time seeker. Since CM uses the same driver/firmware for the camera it seems to be a feature of the sony camera app itself...

[MENTION=3138903]danny19901[/MENTION] Wait, so fastboot isn't needed? I'm on stock 4.4.2 with cwm recovery, can I just enter the recovery, factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik then flash the zips? Because my PC is unusable right now...
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
Yes you can, as the kernel is flashed when flashing the zip. Your bootloader must still be unlocked though.

I would advise repairing your PC as soon as possible though. Flashing custom roms etc without the means to recover from problems (Flashtool/fastboot) is not the best idea. ;)

[Xperia Z Android Development] iDroid8:
Getting my new PC next week. Can't wait to drop £800 with a GTX970 Strix OC gpu on basically a runescape/word processing system :D

Thoughts*:

Positives - on the ROM after a decent amount of use:

I really like the aesthetic and customisation options. It's much lighter and more responsive. Battery life seems to be improved under my use. I have way less bloat. Much better functionality with notifications. It seems much more cohesive, with the dynamic status bars, the theming and system ui. Double tap to sleep and wake is excellent. Integrated privacy settings.

Negatives - occasionally, fonts in an app such as Reddit Sync will bug out, and the spacing and characters will look like hieroglyphics. Also, sometimes the theming of apps doesn't feel right, so a per-app basis as to whether it's themed would be nice. Sometimes, it will take 2-3 tries of opening and closing the app drawer for the app titles to appear underneath the icons.

*: all compared to stock fw of the 4.4.2 variety.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the ROM. However, I've never used an original android custom ROM. Might have some others out!
[Xperia Z Android Development] jindal_bharat:
One bug on my xz pa that double tap to unlock get untick itself after sometimes and i have to enable it again and again. Help ??? And i tried several times reflashing the rom
[Xperia Z Android Development] HeisenbergBB:
i use lightning kernel with Kernel Tweaker and don't have this problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jindal_bharat:
can I flash on working rom now as I have been using it with stock kernel.

an u guide me with advantages and disadvantages of this kernel as compared to stock kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] badflife:
I have the same problem but trouble tap to wake still works even tough it is is unticked.
[Xperia Z Android Development] HeisenbergBB:
For me with lightning kernel the rom is more responsive fast and smooth. The battery life remains the same. No bug or problem, all work perfect.

Is my opinion. But have set default cpu frequency with lightning kernel

[Xperia Z Android Development] agha_jo0n:
any news about new build?
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
Yes. It will be ready when (and if) it's done and not before.

Seriously, its not considered polite to ask people that do this work for free for updates or ETAs on their work. If SuperHanss wants to share his progress, he will do so without being prompted. Just a friendly reminder. :)

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Android Development] badflife:
No need for a new build.

Everything works perfectly fine.

But that's just me.

Except battery but I charge every day so no problem.

Yenkins also mentioned on Google Plus that he won't build a new build.
[Xperia Z Android Development] agha_jo0n:
I think i didnt ask you any thing my friend and also i didnt ask for eta

We found out you are so polite.. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] kingvortex:
No offence intended. Like I said, a friendly reminder and nothing more. I don't wish to argue with anyone or make anyone feel that's the case.

Just some people forget that all the great work done here is done for free in the little spare time that people get. There's no need to be asking for updates on progress or anything like that, as if there's any progress or an actual update, it will be written here as SuperHanss does every time.

I have seen personally developers (including senior CM developer Ricardo Cerqueira) close their threads and leave the site because of people "just asking" all the time and similar things and nobody wants that, do they? :)

Is anyone else having problems with calls getting dropped all the time on 4.6b5?

I had trouble with data dropouts too, but that got fixed by pushing the libril posted by SuperHanss a while back. Calls however get disconnected every time, sometimes after a few minutes but most often after just a few seconds, rendering the actual phone functionality of the phone pretty useless at the moment.
[Xperia Z Android Development] demon2112:
Ril fixed? Or still some troubkes on that issue?
[Xperia Z Android Development] SuperHanss:
Update: RIL is working and so is data (with SELinux set to permissive, which isn't ideal but meh). Outgoing and incoming calls are broken, so I'm focusing on fixing that now. I'll release a build only when this is fixed, as I consider it to be a major bug. I'm totally against releasing half-baked builds just for the hell of it...
[Xperia Z Android Development] danny19901:
Will there be a PA android L release at all I'm curious as to what it will bring tbh

Paranoid Android 5.0 test build (1st Alpha build)

Here is a very, very, very, very (very) early test build of Paranoid Android 5.0. Please be aware that PA is pretty much stock AOSP right now. All KitKat features will need to be reworked for Lollipop.

I've tested most major things: RIL, calls, data, wifi, tethering and camera all seem to be functioning. But I need you guys to help test it thoroughly, so please go ahead and try it for a while and report back here WITH LOGS, for any problems you may have (I'll make a new thread soon).

ROM download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392440

Recommended Gapps: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

Installation instructions:

"fastboot flash boot" the boot.img from the zip

Boot into recovery and make a full backup

Wipe data/factory reset

Flash the ROM and Gapps

Known bugs:

* CM's recovery is currently broken, so I repacked the boot.img to include TWRP

* Sometimes distortion can be heard with music playback

* Carrier text on the lockscreen is incorrectly positioned

* Setting preferred network to 2G breaks RIL (use LTE or 3G)

* Other bugs? Let me know

I'll make a new thread soon.

Enjoy! :D

Hi [MENTION=4983940]SuperHanss[/MENTION] i have this rom by months (pa_yuga-4.6-BETA5-20141031) with lightning kernel cm11 yuga version 8 intelliplug.

This rom is fantastic for me, verry smooth and good battery life but lately i have some problems. (about a week)

several much apps several close or random force closed. several apps force closed during use. Some random spontaneous reboots during the day. Now arrival at most 2 hours of screen (before I was almost 4)

No overclock and i don't find suspicious applications.

I'd rather avoid Hard resset or flash yet the rom because i have so much apps important for me with their data.

Do you know any solution?

Thanks for your Work and sorry my english:)
[Xperia Z Android Development] langeveld024:
You know, this kind of problems are most likely not ROM related and are most likely caused because of some things are screwed up.

(Let's say there's no "hard evidence" for a bug)

Only solution in my opinion is clean install.. I do a clean install almost every week, sometimes more than once a week.. :p if u just find a backup routine that fits ur needs, u will get used to it.

And about the random reboots, maybe increase some core voltage if u undervolted..
