I have a question: how does the lightbulb app work? Is it crashing? Is it making the whole screen white? Or is it making it somewhat blue?

Because if it's a whole white screen then some config values needed for that to work are missing(I think they are in /vendor/pa, but I can be wrong).
[Xperia SP Android Development] bushladen:
I'll give a try to the installation of Paranoïd but can someone tells me what more this Rom brings me in front of CM 4.4.3?

neXus and all the team, you're doing a wonderful work for all the xperia sp users. Thank you very much!!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sajat.:
It is not turn LED on, but makes the whole screen white.

[MENTION=4018956]Dammer Martins[/MENTION] Mine is locked.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dammer Martins:
Hover,PIE,Peek,Quick Settings tiles improved and floating mode.Oh,and themes like Fi is more improved for PA :D

[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION] Dude,the problem of baseband is only on unlocked bootloader :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] ngoralph:
[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION] Good job on this one try AOSPAL kitkat-remix next :P

I've tried building it, but it doesn't boot -_-
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
if this is true, I'm changing title to only locked boot loader. please confirm me
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I have no plans for anything other than pa and cm11.... not enough hard disk space
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dammer Martins:
There's no way to fix that?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Flash the ROM with CWM or TWRP to fix it. If that won't work, flash stock kernel and use LBL recovery. Then all your problems will be gone ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] chetan_p:
Hope that linaro 4.9..1 version coming

Thanks

Why do we have to push PaPrefs to /system/app? They aren't even added in the newest RC.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
some flags needed. give me some time. and torch thing I can fix too. just time needed
[Xperia SP Android Development] igor_anta:
Sorry to bother but I just have one little pesky question :)

In order to flash the new build do I first need to update the recoveries provided by MrSteve555? I'm on DooMKernel v13 and running CM11 LBL by bagyuz.

Thanks for the great work, keep it up. Cheers!
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
I've seen people who were posting things ike that: "Oh there are so many downloads on FXP page, I own an Xperia SP so I dwonloaded cm11-HONAMI-XX.zip and flashed it and a status 7 error came onto my screen omg help me".

Getprop isn't the root of the problem when it comes to TWRP. TWRP has flashing problems when there's a /system format before flashing the ROM.

Oh, and I've tested every updated recovery properly and:

PhilZ - no issues(baseband, etc.)

TWRP - problems with flashing when /system is formatted, but the updater-script does that anyway, other than that no issues

CWM Touch - no issues

So on recoveries supported and mentioned in the OP there aren't any problems with getprop or baseband or something. There's also a line in RED which says: From now onwards, Use Philz/TWRP/CWM Touch... Old CWM is UNSUPPORTED.. The issues are only present on that unsupported CWM. So getprop is "securing" us from users trying to flash PA with it(and spamming in this thread about baseband and hotspot issues).

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

You can do it "just to be sure", but if you don't want to, just flash PA with PhilZ.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
nice point. I agree. Lets make getprop assert permanent from build # 5.

For build # 5, we can look into rear mic and good apps like cm file manager or similar thing.
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrjraider:
I love it!!! Took me quite some time to finnaly get it to work :) But yeah running your ROM now!
[Xperia SP Android Development] nexuspur:
If you get the rear mic working you will be the first person who can fix this. It will be really great. Good luck
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Rear Mic fix would be great! :D

Charging LED fix would be secondary (if its not a PA thing)

Great work, really loving this ROM.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Well, I'm a fan of "Googly" way of doing things. Personally I wouldn't add any app which isn't installable from play store to ROM. And CM apps are installable from GPlay( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maartendekkers.cmapps). Because, really, who doesn't use Play Store in XXI century? We can surely add some things but for some it will be extremely helpful, and for some it will be just a pile of bloatware. So basically some

users like adding apps, and some of them hate it.

And for rear mic - it's an issue, and I agree - we should look into it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Ditarius:
One quick question, what happened to "Heads Up" feature (or sth like this) in settings/display? It was present in build #3, now its gone in fourth build. I know there is hover, that looks pretty much the same but i liked Heads Up cause I could use status bar even with notification. Any clues?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Id honestly leave the apps situation as it is. Its nice not to have to remove stuff like apollo because its rubbish as I used to do on CM.

DSP isnt necessary really people can install viper or whatever they want, and file manager can be easily installed or restored from a backup. ES file explorer is a good ROOT capable one or theres plenty of others.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Basically PA you are using is built on AOSPA-legacy sources which use CM sources as base. Heads up was conflicting with PA's hover feature so it was removed recently by AOSPA-legacy team. You can still get Heads Up with a Xposed module, though.
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
Unfortunately it didn't help. If it will disturb me too much I will try another launchers. But it's not important so much right now.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ParaSense.:
anyone can link me a flashable xperia keyboard with T9 numeric system :/
[Xperia SP Android Development] J0kker:
Just in case people wonder, I'm running this with UBL and it's perfectly fine !

I've installed this rom using Philz (from williams kernel) after factory wipe, of course.

Installed PA apps micro package.

Powered off, flashtool .205 FW

And no baseband problem, everything is running fine and smooth :)

I'm gonna nandbackup it for later, as i miss too many things not yet in PA, like navbar (nexus navbarz addicted ;) ) and status bar customization.

But no offense, your rom is awesome Nexus Prime, just doesn't suits my needs... for now :)

Only thing that doesn't work here is the "reboot to recovery" that simply reboots.

Regards !
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Nexus navbarz is also mine. It should also work with PA. I guess....
[Xperia SP Android Development] J0kker:
It should, I didn't try, but i like to have 4 buttons with always visible menu (btw, thanks again for DT soft keys :p).

But maybe it is possible with PA, even if i look in every possible settings menus ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
There is an xposed module. I think gravity box allows to enable force menu key.
[Xperia SP Android Development] christiano88:

Hi guys, I'm using Vanir 4.4.4 but I love Paranoid..is this smooth or not? Is it the official paranoid? Has it OTA? Does it works with custom kernels?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
You probably installed build #3, on build #4 there are no problems when flashing via PhilZ.

1. My personal opinion is that this PA is the smoothest ROM for SP.

2. It isn't official, but it's basically the same + it has LBL support.

3. Only Gapps are working with OTA.

4. It works with DoomLord and Williams kernels.

Half of your questions were already answered in this thread.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Oops... lol ty for your idea xD i'm confused with all builds...

Hi guy, Plz set your all your animation scale greater than 0x
[Xperia SP Android Development] MetalOllie:
I am having a really strange issue with this ROM.. I raised it a while ago, but I think it got missed...

I installed an audio mod called Pon3. After installing this, most of my ringtones disappeared, leaving around 15 (which I don't recognise as being there prior to flashing the mod). As a result of this, I extracted the correct ringtones from my Nandroid backup into a folder on my SD card called backup. I tried putting them back into the system/media/audio folder, but they don't play.

No problem.. I restored the Nandroid backuo I'd taken. This is where is gets strange. The ringtones are the same as those after applying the mod, and stranger still, those in the backup folder I created are showing only the altered files. What's strangest of all, however, is that going back to Nandroid manager to extract them again, none of the original files are present, only the same as those modified after applying the mod.

I'm no expert, but surely nothing should be able to alter the Nandroid backup, nor for that matter, change the files I'd extracted onto my SD card.

I don't know if it's a permissions issue that's preventing me from seeing them, but I am VERY confused as to what's going on. I have a backup of them on my laptop, however if I put them into the system folder, I suspect they won't be recognised.

Any ideas as what on earth is happening, because I'm at a complete loss?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
Where are pie controls?
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Drop notification, quick settings, IMMERSIVE MODE. Set it to FULL. it will give you option to use PIE.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ParaSense.:
o.O thnx you very much guy :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
I did it but mistakenly chose NO now it doesn't show the option for pie controls. You know how to bring it back?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Settings->Backup and reset->Reset preferences->Pie controls->OK
[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
Are there any preferences to open from left and right side of the screen ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Swipe from bottom of the screen, and when pie shows up, without releasing the finger drag it to the left or right side of the screen(to a white circle).

[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION]

I've fixed some stuff and started working on the rear mic issue as you can see in my new pull request. :p Merge if you want to. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] J0kker:
I gave a shot at gravity box, could not remove the "recents" button from navbar (i set long press on home for that) but other than that, i could do all i wanted with it.

So i'm gonna keep using your rom for a long time i think :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Good job. I'll merge but need cortex a9 for archi optimizations.

And for rear mic, it's fixable, so keep trying.

By the way, we have problems with busybox... Fresh compile also makes it 785 kb which is larger than build 3...even though both builds have same last commit of busybox git.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
The busybox issue is really weird. Are you compiling the busybox directly from repo or are you checking the version compiled with the ROM?

We must check what's exactly wrong with that faulty busybox. Maybe some applets are missing?

Also huashan device trees are being taken down by Qcom for using prima config files... From what I've seen official CM huashan tree is now down. It's very unfortunate, because I wanted to merge the sound files from that tree - the updated audio flags combined with them *maybe* would fix the rear mic.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Found the issue !!!

Busybox compiled with linaro is giving me errors. Even on fresh Ccache and clean rebuild.

The one compiled by GCC is ok.

I have attached the error log.

[MENTION=5579865]MrSteve555[/MENTION]

can you look up for any patch which i can use to fix busybox with linaro. Otherwise we will have to copy a prebuilt binary everytime.
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
Guys!

How can I reduce the height of the navigation bar? It doesn't work in the Gravity Box. If it isn't a rom issue I'm sorry for the silly question.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ngoralph:

[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
How much battery life are you guys getting? My phone drops plus 20% battery at night. But while playing videos, it only drops like 15% during an hour playback. Is this something to do with the ROM? Or some kernel issue?
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
Rather user application issue. Check your apps with Wakelock Detector! Any app stucks and using CPU or wakelocks the phone.
[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
Don't use that much background - running apps. I attached a screenshot; see if you can find a problem?
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
82% of awake is terribly much.

And switch the stat to Usage from Running!
[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
Here - 82% of wake what does that mean?
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
This is the percentage of usage time while the phone doesn't get to deep sleep (energy saving) state.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Just to clarify guys,

We use and recommend STOCK kernel.... no chance that there was some modification at kernel level which would cause battery drain

We use many optimizations, which sometimes could cause battery drain, but it will get fixed in subsequent update. But no need to tell me. I am almost updating weekly.

Lastly, i would suggest someone open a general discussion thread for this ROM, where all can post and ask questions about apps n stuff. I would appreciate if that person would also mention some PA-specific queries in first post so that people dont ask over n over again. Things like

1. Where are PA preferences????

2. Where are per-app-dpi?

3. Hover, peek, pie, tiles, i cant find anything.

4. i skipped some option, how to reset and get pie back

etc etc

I like Q&A, but sometimes my posts with my team get lost in this stream.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Maybe it's good to open a fancy and shiny DevDB thread? That way we could seperate Q&A, dev talk and add some things like annoumcements, etc.

And do I have to look for a busybox patch, or did you fix it with latest Linaro patch commit?
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I think it will fix.

When I changed linaro branch on 29....every build after that had issue. Let's hope.

And dev dB means to lock this one???? Can we open those in tapatalk?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Okay.

Let's hope it's fixed now.

No need for locking this thread.

And no, we can't open those in tapatalk.

Hi Nexus, not sure whats going on but i've had an odd bug a few times now where I cant hang up a call. The big red button doesn't work and neither does the button shown in notifications.

Hover notifications are completely transparent for me, I did apply a Z2 theme using CM11 new theme engine integrated, is there any way I can turn it back without changing the theme? Really sorry if I'm asking this question in the wrong place.

How is this rom?

Battery life?

Ram management?

Offline charging?

As it os based on locked bootloader so can we expect further development?

Cm11 or PA?

Gaming?

Random freeze or reboot?

Any major bugs (2nd mic is not a big deal for me)?

We need additional audio flags(I'm now checking the audio-caf repo to find them) to fix the rear mic. I need quite a lot of time to find these flags. So basically if you build the ROM now, it will only include the 4.4.1 PA update.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Yes, that, and your fixes for reboot to recovery. (plus CM file manager)
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
OK. So just build it, and if rear mic still doesn't work we need to search this: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_audio-caf for additional audio flags. I don't have time for that now so the rear mic probably won't be fixed in #5.
[Xperia SP Android Development] peters.:
Is there any other msm8960t device with CM, where we could compare the build flags?
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
[MENTION=4291029]peters.[/MENTION]

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960dt/blob/cm-11.0/BoardConfig.mk

Moto X, but in its BoardConfig only legacy ALSA flag is set.

Also S3 variant had 8960 chipset:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_d2-common/blob/cm-11.0/BoardConfigCommon.mk

But there are no flags set for audio.

I looked into caf-audio source and it looks like we need qcom CSD flags (there is some info about 2nd MIC in these).

And sad news are:

The CSD flags are already set in the official CM tree BUT the good news are:

I've just noticed that my fix on github might actually work(the CSD flags weren't enabled so I enabled them), because there are Fusion3 sound files in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm. However, these files aren't present on official CM github. And these files are present on stock

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

@neXus PRIME

I forgot to change a line in system.prop:

persist.audio.handset.mic=analog

To:

persist.audio.handset.mic=digital

Combined with new flags, it should give us a working rear mic as I explained in my previous post.

Could you change it in build.prop after compiling?

Notice: But if it doesn't work, change it back to analog, because if these new flags aren't correct, changing to digital will result in non-working front mic...
