Anyway should be fixed in 4.44. Can't help you then...

Maybe you should ask on G+ (AOSPA legacy)!
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Here's another experimental build with 4.4 stuff:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717105

I noticed with the experimental yuga (Xperia Z) build that the screen hangs for about 10 seconds after the Sony logo dissapears, so to be sure, please wait for around 20 seconds before saying that it's not working as it might spring into life (not sure of the cause for the delay).

BACKUP FIRST PEOPLE!

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Unfortunately the same as last experimental. Phone doesn't start at all... :crying:
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Smh...

Sorry about this guys, I guess you're gonna have to wait for CM to merge all teh things coz I'm stumped.

Unless one of y'all can give me a logcat.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
I'll see what I can do.

Edit: flashed the kernel and it won't even display the Sony logo, or boot long enough for me to get a Logcat.

You're using Thomas_1991's kernel, right? I think he may have removed some odin-specific code, because this is exactly what it happens when you flash a yuga kernel on odin (yeah, tried it once).
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
[MENTION=4983940]SuperHanss[/MENTION]: So, what did you do different, when you created 4.42 experimental, which worked well?
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
All experimental builds will appear here from now on:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=16461&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

Please try the latest build. CONFIRMED WORKING!!!

I've made a few kernel changes specifically for odin, don't hold your breath though:

[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Somebody tried it? I'm at work and don't dare. But I'm so excited! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks again [MENTION=4983940]SuperHanss[/MENTION] for giving it your all!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Now it boots perfectly! Will test and check for bugs. Is there anything in particular that I should be looking for?

Right after the Sony logo the screen turns black for a few seconds just as you said, but the backlight remains on.

Oh and I can't boot to recovery. I can boot into the OS and reboot to recovery, though.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Confirmed! :laugh:

Thanks, guys, you made my day!
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Glad to hear it! Nope there's nothing in particular you should be looking for, use it as you would normally for a while and see if you run into any problems.

As for the recovery issue please follow Doomlord's advice from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49464845&postcount=38

And let me know the event number corresponding to "gpio_keys".

That'd be very helpful.

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
That'd be:

add device 6: /dev/input/event5

name: "gpio-keys"

Right?

Oh BTW, switched to ART (mostly because I got used to it) and it works even better :p

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Yup that's what I was after. Thanks.

Fix for recovery will be in the next build.

Oh and I recommend using this app if you guys wish to tweak the kernel (enable intelliplug, intellithermal etc.)
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Which governor do you recommend for good performance/batterysaving balance?
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Hmm... I can't really answer that as I don't use my Z as a daily driver. This post provides a thorough explanation of each:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1736168
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Ok, I'll try some and report here...

What's the benefit of intelliplug and intellithermal? I'm not sure if I should buy this app...

Btw, ART seems to really giving me a speed boost. Till now I can say, this build rocks!
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Is wifi working? I remember it being broken on the last experimental.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
It's working.

And it was not broken on last experimental. It was broken, when you flashed last experimental (4.43) with 4.42-kernel!
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Ahhhh, that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know, flashing now.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Calvin2394:
Is the DT2W wakes and freezes fixed in the experimental build?

Can't use any CM Roms due to this bug :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] imkentoy:
I'm using the latest experimental build right now and seems to be working properly now. Using itasmy daily driver now. ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Do you guys want the new recent apps menu in the next experimental build? Or stick with the old?
[Sony Xperia ZL] insanexd:
Hum... i think it would be nice to try it, but maybe you should wait for a more stable release
[Sony Xperia ZL] Calvin2394:
Sticking with stable releases until PA deems the new recents stable enough to go out of alphas, seems good to me :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Old one!
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Yeah, sticking with stable is the way to go for now.

Sent from my Xperia ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] imkentoy:
New one! ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
I'd say the new one, we're already trying the new blobs so might as well try something new features wise.

If you decide to keep the old recents in the experimental, I've got a duplicate clear recents button. That and Facebook Beta doesn't start, but I believe that's Facebook's problem [emoji12]. Otherwise the rom's brilliant. I'm having improved performance, battery life and extremely good RAM consumption.
[Sony Xperia ZL] foomanjackel:
latest experimental is working really well here. i am getting great battery life using this build, probably the best i've seen of any custom roms i have used.

good job there SuperHanss, thanks! :good:

Which version of PA where you trying? Some experimentals are broken...
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
I've just reflash again and it's success. But i still have one problem, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period, the screen is black ( not Sony logo as usual )

I flash PA version 4.4.4 release on 25/07/2014
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
So, you flashed the latest experimental build, right? If so, your issue is common. Read OP's post about that!
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
I see it too. Did u flash it? Is it stable? :D

After 1/2 day using, I got some problems:

- Screen is flickering when i enable hover or i press volumn button.

- When i'm playing game BoomBeach, i rotate my cellphone, and the game is out ( force close)

- This morning, I can not touch the screen, only press the hard button to reset the cellphone. After reset, it works normally.

Anyone help me to resolve it? I like this rom so much! Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Known issue. Read this Thread!!!

Don't know this app. So, no ideas...

Have you enabled dt2w? It's buggy. Disable it!
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoaianh1505:
Thanks! I have not enable dt2w, but it automatically enable after i flash this rom. So i've just disable it. Hope other bug will be fix soon :D The rom is smooth and has good battery.

is this normal??

if no, how do i fix it ?

PA4.45 (pa_odin-4.45-20140729.zip)

Thanks, and sorry for my bad english :crying:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Calvin2394:
It's because of the old blobs used in stable builds.

Try out the experimentals, they are stable enough and non-laggy :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndreyVilella:
Ok, i'm try ... in Nexus 4 (my old device) , PA was very stable

and, i'm noob with Xperia ZL ... whats is blobs (never seen it) ?

EDIT: Searched for blobs and now understand :D

"Binary Blob is a term used in some open source projects to describe an object code for which is not available your source code."
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
WiFi is broken when using lightning kernel, sticking to regular PA builds for now since fauxsound is quite important to me.

New recents seems pretty cool though, and I'm glad to hear that play service drain was fixed.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Hey guys,

Sadly, USB OTG seems to be broken in the latest experimental build. Every time I connect a pendrive or a USB MicroSD reader things go belly up and the phone automatically reboots. I can't get a logcat, obviously because I'm using the same port from where I'm supposed to get it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Calvin2394:
Same here!

Ended up formatting my pen drive cause i thought it was the pen drive problem :P
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Official 4.5 BETA1 is online :cool:

Experimental build will follow. I need to tweak PA OTA a bit so that experimental users receive experimental updates rather than official.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Please do, that's one of the main reasons I'm sticking to official builds instead of your experimentals

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Just a heads up: I still can't access recovery directly from boot. Also, if Google Location Reporting is enabled it generates a crapload of wakelocks (happens in every ROM with the latest blobs - official or AOSP-based, but pointing it out anyways) turning location off when not in use is obviously the best way to prevent the battery from draining, at least for now

After that it's just spamming event3. By the name of it it's the accelerometer I guess.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Edit: I went to check a few posts back 'cause I remembered I already told you what event gpio-keys was but it's a different one from now. It's still Device 6 but it changed from event5 to event7 (is2g I copied it exactly last time, weird).

Nope currently no fix for OTG.

Awwww man, let us know if you need anything. Help, motivation or otherwise. Your work is great.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
I know there's not a lot of us here in the ZL forum, but what we lack in numbers, we make up in passion. We appreciate all the work you've done for us up to this point and for keeping our device relevant. You do what you do out of passion, not because you have to and that's why motivation is important. You don't owe anybody anything and when you eventually do move on from our device, you should know you made a handful of geeky android fans happy with your work.

Never used the PA ROM, which she has special ??

What works and what does not work?
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Everything works. PA has a few unique features, and is the source for a lot of roms so it's quite stable and fast.
[Sony Xperia ZL] pedro5148:
all right!!

What about Chromecast, you tell me if you have any ??

I tested the MC5 parentemente game and it ran ok!

I felt a fool of "lag" when I was listening to the radio SpiritFM
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
I've been using PA as a daily driver with heavy usage ever since it was brought to our device and have not looked back since. Everything works as expected from an AOSP ROM out of the box, except infrared and fm radio. You can get those working by digging through the forums a bit. Think spirit fm works for our devices if I'm not mistaken.

Ok, as I said, the SpiritFM works almost perfectly ...

At home I will test the Chromescast, post the results tomorrow.

New experimental build is up:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=16461&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

- Hopefully fixed booting to recovery, don't quote me on that

- Added IR Remote app

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.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Welcome back!

I clean flashed it because my phone was getting weird errors while trying to install WhatsApp. Beats me. I think it had something to do with putting the phone in aeroplane mode while trying to download it from the Playstore.

-Booting to recovery works properly now. It looks like I gave you the correct answer this time xD

-USB OTG is also working again, thankfully.

By the way, did you happen to add our IR Remote app to yesterday's build? If you didn't then I didn't do the wipes correctly I suppose.

Thanks a lot for the build, by the way!

Clean flash, getting errors while installing WhatsApp :(

How did you fix this?

Edit: Turns out WhatsApp has a problem with installing on ART.

Switched to Dalvik, Installed WhatsApp and switched back to

ART. Working fine :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
WhatsApp and ART don't play nice. Switching back to Dalvik solved the issue. I guess I'll be staying with Dalvik for a while, though last time I just installed WhatsApp, immediately switched back to ART and it worked just fine. It just took one second or two more to open a lenghty conversation.

I've been doing some reading on this issue. It seems Android runs some security checks or something when installing apps (correct me or enlighten me if I'm wrong). WhatsApp did this checks fine in Dalvik but not in ART. This supposedly has been fixed with 4.4.1.

Also, Whatsapp uses and installs additional libs (?) that definitely don't play nice with ART, so there's that.

Edit: You beat me to it I guess :P
