[Sony Xperia ZL] juniorhxcx:
thank you very much

I'm with the Stock 4.3 ROM (Build 101 at the end) and the locked bootloader.

I wonder if I have to unlock the bootloader to install this kernel (with recovery)?

Sorry my english
[Sony Xperia ZL] Rafael Luis:
Yes, you have to unlock it
[Sony Xperia ZL] juniorhxcx:
Thank you!

Any method to root (or CWM or TWRP) without unlocking the bootload using Build 101?

Cause I'm in it and wanted to do Backup TA before partition.

Button ? The bootloader isn't a button. I'm from Brazil, send me a private message !

In Portuguese:

Botão ? O bootloader não é um botão. Sou do Brasil, me manda mensagem que eu te explico melhor.
[Sony Xperia ZL] juniorhxcx:
Many thanks for the help.

I just fix the put up, because it was an error autocorrect keyboard mobile. I believe that now is clearer.

I'll send an MP then, because I have many doubts. Thanks in advance!

in Portuguese:

Muito obrigado pela ajuda.

Acabei de corrigir o posta acima, pois foi um erro de correção automática do teclado mobile. Acredito que agora esteja mais claro.

Vou mandar um MP então, pois tenho muitas dúvidas. Desde já agradeço!
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Just remembered a few other features that I would like to see put back into PA that I'm pretty sure where in the 4.3 builds:

- Swipe the bottom bar of the drop-down notification panel to switch between quicktile page and the notification page

- Hold back button to terminate apps when PIE is enabled (this is really useful for things like completely killing facebook messenger when you're done with it). Holding back to kill apps works if you enable it from dev options but it only works with the on-screen buttons, not with PIE

- An option to control the delay for the clock/battery/other info screen that appears if you hold PIE for 2 seconds and have the top bar hidden. I always had that to instant in the other PA because i liked having the top bar hidden all the time.

I'm pretty sure these would not be hard to implement back.

April 15 Edit:

Standby battery life seems to be a bit off. I've lost almost 20% battery in 14 hours with only 5 minutes of screen time. Checked CPU usage and the phone was in deep sleep during those 14 hours. I wonder if tap2wake has anything to do with it? Either way, I got 11 days of Standby on cm10.1 stable, don't see that happening here. On the other hand, usage time is great. 4 hours of screen on time with autobrightness on and default autobrightness levels is great.
[Sony Xperia ZL] acabreram:
So no new update this week?
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Unfortunately not. That's usually a good thing though ;)

I hope! Well still waiting for this excellent ROM! thanks [MENTION=4983940]SuperHanss[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Here's an early update for you guys, we're still in BETA4:

pa_odin-4.2-BETA4-20140417.zip

Changelog

ART is now working ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
New update has a more visible "Mobile Networks" toggle/options menu (which used to be under the "More" button in the settings menu). It also replaces the old camera app with google's new Camera app. The google camera app is ok but its severely lacking in features, namely anything regarding focus, windescreen picture taking (unless you cound panoramic shots which are pretty good). The new tilt-shift function works as advertised on the ZL although for some reason you cant use the camera button to take pics in tilt-shift mode. Another thing that seems to be completely gone is the focus when half-clicking the camera button. The new camera app seems to be completely reliant on autofocus which is a pain if you want to take a macro shot.

The switch to Superuser has finally went through as well and is working fine. Vibration options are now available under XZL specific settings as well. Speaking of XZL specific features, any way of implementing the stock XZL white balance options menu under XZL specific settings? For reference, here's a thread for porting the option from the XZL to the XZ . Obviously the porting worked for stock ROMs but I'm wondering if it can be brought over to AOSPA/CM as well.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rkdss:
downloading and testing this update, then I go back to report my experiences.
[Sony Xperia ZL] imkentoy:
hi guys just want to know does PA supports apps2sd??

Nevermind im using folder mount and so far its working.. sometimes I get a reboot when I use the camera.
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
4.2 BETA5 is up

Changelog

Odin specific:

- Reverted a couple of kernel commits that introduced lag

- Added custom lockscreen feature back (removed by PA but I like the feature)

- Possible fix for sound stuttering, please test.

- Added download speed to download notification

Hello Rom Contains the Active Display and Double Tap to wake ??

Sorry my Bad English !
[Sony Xperia ZL] acabreram:
Yes contain peek notifications like active display and double tap to wake!
[Sony Xperia ZL] xtremepredador:
Thanks Brother, I found the options !!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Baron1971:
Hi,

is it also possible to disable Quick Unlock in Lockscreen? I can't find any option to disable.
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
Tapping the Android version and then the pa4.2 screen brings up the jelly bean easter egg instead of kitkat .

Just something I noticed while showing off the rom :p

Edit:

The phone used to randomly restart or not respond when unlocking at times (with notification peek enabled).....just noticed that this has something to do with the notification led, at times after the notification is cleared the led doesn't go off and when in that case after locking the phone when i pick it up(with peek enabled) the phone becomes unresponsive with the led blinking and restarts itself again after a while.

haven't been able to reproduce this again for a log, app that triggered that led was whatsapp(custom light selected in app) and running on dalvik mode(have seen similar behavior in ART too).

Would be great if anyone could confirm this!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
I'm also having issues where the phone just won't turn the display on and I have to hard-reboot using the back yellow button. I didn't check if it was while the LED was on. Today I was listening to music with Poweramp and the volume controls were responsive with the screen blacked out though. It happens randomly so I couldn't get a log either. Sorry.

Edit: I did have Peek enabled and I disabled it since. I'll see if I can get a log by activating it and sending a text from another phone or something.
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
I'm pretty sure the display issue is linked with DT2W, could you guys turn it off and see if the problem still occurs?

The other bugs are PA related and are being ironed out.
[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
I turned it off and the problem is gone.

Had the same issues with PAC rom 4.4 and DT2W.
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
Yep turning it off works,

but strangely I've always had that enabled in cm11(since the morning on latest nightly too) but never had this problem :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Maybe CM implements it in a different way. I'll take a look at it when I have some free time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
I always have DT2W disabled and tie freezing problem already happened three times today. The first time it only froze for a minute but the other two it soft-rebooted
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
Peek was enabled?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Yes, I enabled it to see what would happen. I think I Logged the first one.

Edit: attaching log from 12:00 (GMT-3) until 12:01:47. Why so many MP-Decision errors? D: I had to split it in two 'cause it exceeded XDA's 512KB limit.
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
woah thats a big log :p

as far as i understand mp decision is for managing the cores depending on the situation, so the system is probably forcing different values ( u might have tweaked performance settings maybe? )

PS, i'll try to find the culprit here, but i doubt i can, cos i have almost no idea what its like :p , anyway will see if i can learn
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
I'll try to find it too, though I'm not very good at this :P

And nope, using everything stock. Didn't even enable developer/performance settings.

Edit: it happened again (with soft reboot this time, but it was connected to the PC so I managed to do an adb logcat and monitor what's going on. My god, it's full of those MP-Decision errors. I can barely see what else is going on! They happen even when the phone is just sitting there. I tried changing the CPU governor but the errors continue. Is this even normal?

Edit 2: seems like it's those year-old Sony 4.2 CM sources that cause all these errors. Tried switching over to CM and Omni to see if they are having this MP-D issue. Turns out CM has it and Omni (which uses newer sources, I think) doesn't. It's a real pity an awesome rom like PA gets crippled by old sources D:
[Sony Xperia ZL] acabreram:
Feature request

Bro can you add counter notifications??

Thanks in advanced!
[Sony Xperia ZL] SuperHanss:
Do you mean the status bar notification count?
[Sony Xperia ZL] acabreram:
Yes exactly bro! Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
Well omni uses the older(4.2) sources, and cm the newer(4.3 first build not the latest build)...about the errors i think u should have an option of turning the mp decision off and using another thermal control(was an option back on doomkernel...not sure if its available for cm)

oh and to understand the log better, just find(ctrl+f) mp-decision and select highlight, now ull know what to look at :p
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Are you sure about that? With either CM or PA I can't connect to my BTLE G-Shock (BTLE is enabled on 4.3 sources) while I can on Omni, which is the rom I'm using ATM.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Looked at those logs and yeah those CPU state switches may be the reason this ROM doesnt have the same standby time as, say, cm10.1 which lasted for more than a week on standby. I wonder if someone with a bit more experience can take a look at it and figure out if there's an easy fix for it.

Another thing I wanted to note was the fact that the new google camera basically makes our ZL's camera button more or less useless. You can't hold the button to bring up the camera, you can't half-press to focus. I'd love to have the old camera back since that worked perfectly and took widescreen pics as well. This new one is severely lacking and not implemented all that well.
[Sony Xperia ZL] xyge:
Well yes, thing is the only dev we had supporting omni left for another device before 4.3 sources were released... Whereas cm has been using newer blobs.

The bluetooth issue is there since quite sometime for the 4.3 sources(first build)... AFAIK Omni must've patched it ... They are awesome at that as a community!

Edit, check out the z development section, few dev there are trying to get the latest sources(latest 4.3 build) to work for cm11.. U could confirm the mp-decision issue if it's present for latest builds too.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Luchoc:
Yeah, I remember that dev. They are awesome as a community indeed, but I agree the project has stagnated for Z devices. I've been using it since two days ago and apart from the fact that I couldn't do a nandroid with the included kernel everything works stable-ish and fluidly.

I was looking on the Z dev section and there's a guy who compiled CM with Linaro and the latest 4.3 (and qcom) sources and on his build apparently MP-Decision is kinda working. I've also read there's an open-source alternative called Intelli-plug. I suppose as soon as I can backup I can try going back to PA, disabling MPD and enabling Intelli-plug if the CM kernel supports it. I know Meow does, but I guess we can't use a Z kernel on our ZL.

Edit: Nope, it doesn't. And since it's not really recommended to disable MPD I'm rolling back to Omni. I did everything while getting a logcat via ADB (I couldn't save it though) and yep, those errors appear everywhere.

[YOUTUBE]u_3Ik7m3z50[/YOUTUBE]

Yes indeedy.

Just a heads up, I've handed today's build and probably all future builds over to Jenkins (the PA Legacy build bot). The good news is that you'll receive updates at the same as every other legacy device. The bad news is that some features have had to be sacrificed such as TWRP (PA uses CWM by default).

The other bonus to this is that you'll get all the new exclusive PA features straight away (Hover for example), rather than having to wait 2-3 weeks+ for the sources to be released.

New build will be up soon ;)

Regards,

SH

Hey SuperHanss, any way you could implement the hold camera button to start the camera function back into the rom? Its a really basic function that I find myself constantly trying to use until I remember it doesn't work anymore. It's probably because of the new Google camera.

[Sony Xperia ZL] feydakin:
What was the problem with mpdecision? I never had any reboots or something with cm or the current pa version.

Well, as far I can see PA only have Hover (which I dont really use) and PIE (which I also dont use) as features separating it from CM. On the other hand it lacks of customisation (themes, options for diff. features etc.) and features like cClock.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Calvin2394:
According to what I've read, the freezes and reboots and DT2W bug is due to the mpdecision issue.

Which is patched :D

I guess wait for the next build?
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
I can see what you're saying about the themes. Personally I just use icon packs and a custom launcher. As for cClock, DashClock has always been better in terms of functionality. I've used it on CM and I'm using in now as well.
