Use a different email program and get a file manager that works with zip files. This isnt really ROM related.

TOMI file manager supports zips i'm pretty sure Gmail does too.
[Xperia SP General] Xeust:
Aaah okay. By the rear mic patch you mean from the earlier PA build?

I'm using crDroid for the moment. I don't think firebird11 disabled the rear mic since the 'ok google' thingy works from a large distance I'd say about 20cm far. The mic is working pretty good while video recording. And the calls I've made was good too. No echoes. Those are the rear mics job are they not?

Or am I misunderstanding something? I uhh I can't really tell honestly
[Xperia SP General] igor_anta:
[MENTION=5579865]MrSteve555[/MENTION] I might be jumping the gun a bit, but I just read some good news in the CM 11 thread regarding the mic issues :)

The question is should we expect the fix for PA and PAC and will we get a flashable fix or we'll have to wait for new builds? Thanks for the great work to you and the devs that worked on this fix, brilliant job.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Yeah, I'll pull request the changes when everything is considered fully stable and suitable for daily use.

For now only video recording, voice recording, gsm calls, skype calls and Google Now is tested.

Also unfortunately flashable fix can't be used, as the fix requires BoardConfig changes.

Anyone knows an email app better than the native? With support to multiple accounts, IMAP, exchange, widget, capable to open zip and HTML attachments, etc?

Hey guys,

Is the official .207 update carrier-specific? If so, will flashing .207 kernel on this ROM give me network troubles?
[Xperia SP General] prabhav.3892:
there are generic versions available too but there wont be any network troubles even on the carrier specific versions even.

Touch problems

so guys, I really like that rom, but I think my touch sensitivity is a bit low, sometimes I have to press multiple times to tip, there is a way to increase it? I already tried the Glove Xperia app, but it does not work

ps: sorry for bad english :o
[Xperia SP General] racastro:
Thanks but MailDroid don't have widget, K9 don't open HTML attachments and K@mail don't support exchange.

Any other suggestions? [emoji12]

Amazing battery standby time by PA build 12.. See screenshot...100% for 7+ hours..
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Just to make it clear for everyone, there are two trees of ThemeChooser

Cm11

and Stable

I chose cm11 to keep you guys on bleeding edge of updates. But they are adding new icon support for themes which at the time of building this build was at 75%...

I can however switch to the stable branch and this bug will probably go away, but i suggest you guys to have patience for a weekly update when it will probably be automaically resolved.

For me, switching branches to stable and then nightly is a lot of work, syncing and building. Hope all understand.

I asked all whether Build #7 linaro 4.8 and build #5 linaro 4.7 had anything different for you guys, because i need to pick one toolchain for future.

Lastly, dont assume there is a bug so i should leave this ROM, because THAT OTHER ROM doesnt have this bug.... Most probably, THAT OTHER ROM has other bugs which will make you switch again. Have some loyalty (or not, its not some elections:p), some patience, and then go wherever you want....

Just dont post a bug and spread despair and chaos among other users so they also panic and cry.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

I am not sure dear, please check on any other ROM... .or better option, ask a user of another AOSP rom... he will quickly answer you.:good:

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I dont know which issue you are talking about... These are custom ROMs so probably there are no issues.

Still if you face trouble, use below app to fix your issues if you have any...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
With my words I meant to say something like that:

That bug with theme chooser also exists in the newest CM nightlies - the CM team constantly changes the whole theme chooser, so things like Xposed aren't really guaranteed to work without problems.

With your and mine explanations combined, it should be now clear for everyone why that's happening :)

And probably THAT OTHER ROM will have the same bugs :) And to all:

Hey, it's a world of aftermarket ROMs - bugs are expected to happen sooner or later. Users should get used to it.

Cool feature, no???
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Actually I've seen that before on PA community, but anyway it's a great feature. Intuitive, clean and conveinient.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
im adding it as its from official gerrit. new build tonight.
[Xperia SP General] mrhnet:
Well.. smoothness and 3d graphics better in build 4 > 7 (noticeable slight stutter in build 7 - may not be for others). Didn't test build 5. Actually I went back to build 4. All ok with build 4 for me.

Are you using any xposed modules like Gravitybox or similar? If so remove them as they can cause these issues.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I also just saw you are using alternative kernels (you posted about nayakernel not working).

Do you get the same errors with stock 205 kernel? Its fine for me and many others.
[Xperia SP General] abbas_2010:
can i use stock conversion and keyboard roms on it????!
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Possibly you'd have to try them. Depends if they have any specific framework tweaks I guess.

Honestly though there are far better out there (swiftkey is free). Even the built in messaging app is 1000x better than stock sony rubbish.
[Xperia SP General] abbas_2010:
ok so Except hangout can use which the app for conversion??
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
It comes with a built in app called messaging.

There are plenty of others on the play store too.

Online nandroid backup is a great app, alongside nandroid manager to restore call logs/sms when clean installing.

Will our xp auto disconnect after charging 100% like stock ROM.

Because the led is not turning off after full charge like stock ROM!!!
[Xperia SP General] Shywim:
I have a somewhat big problem with build 12 (see attachment).

Free RAM (not cached RAM) is constantly above 200~300 Mo, background processes are often restarting, nothing can stay in cache and when I use an app like Chrome or Firefox, all is killed and I often can even go back to, say, Google Search (back button doesn't respond).

I am on locked bootloader and I did 2 fresh installs, same problem always.
[Xperia SP General] jghiya:
Random reboots and laggy sometimes

kudos to developer for this aws rom

really smooth and snappy compared to stock rom

bt the battery life has degraded compared to stock

And it reboots rarely lyk for instance when i am into settings/apps/running

also sometimes i use swiftkey which takes time in showing up during google search or while using google chrome

i think maybe apps hwhich r used frequenly r not cached properly in ram i mean not all apps bt some of them are not cached
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
Someone can tell me if MHL is supported by this rom ?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
I have seen a lot of bug reports and problems on both roms.

But guys, due to work and home, I'm very very busy. Will update things soon.

Also Steve has done a lot of work on cm11 which i will surely add in pa/pac. I can only work on weekends.
[Xperia SP General] hellegy:
First I want to say thank you for this great rom who have so much potential.

I use it your rom and stock based rom for testing and battery life is not great with pa for me. Attention, I'm saying that for feedback not for denigrate :)

I know it's not easy to do a perfect rom but I really like pa. Keep going dude! Good luck!
[Xperia SP General] Shywim:
Well, my problem is solved...

It was the fault of the theme I am using, Veu. The author was saying that we shouldn't enable its bootanimation if we have 1GB or less, now I understand why (though I don't understand why a bootanimation mess with RAM AFTER the boot is completed :silly: ).

Now my "free" RAM is full of cached apps, I am happy :victory: (It was coming to a point where I couldn't even pull the keyboard on a browser)

So, if you want to use Veu (which is endorsed by PA team), don't enable its bootanimation :o

Hi guys, I'm on PA 12..the hdr camera work only with google camera or even with default camera app??
[Xperia SP General] aganhakiem:
what governor and i/o scheduler is most preferred? i just want to know, need tips anyway, im using this rom and battery life when screen off is awsome :D
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I use wheatly and deadline..no lag and good battery life
[Xperia SP General] aganhakiem:
yes but when i use it (screen on) the battery draining fast -_-
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
It depends how you use the device when you are on screen..if you playing games, watch video etc. it's normal and there is no solution because the governor saves battery by scaling processor frequency in according of your usage. If you use the device for heavy operation clock speed is set on max and battery drain faster. Try to low the max frequency if you don't need 1700Mhz ;) I'm on 1500 and lag free but I don't use phone for games or other thinks like that.
[Xperia SP General] aganhakiem:
Thanks Mate !

btw, i flash doomkernel v13 this morning, everythings work fine and awsome, but i experienced that charging becoming so slow (compared to stock .207), so is that normal ? or maybe there is a way to shorten the charging time ?
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I really don't know..I'm on lbl so I've only stock kernel. Tips: for more battery saving try undervolt at 25mV..someone said that's stable ;)
[Xperia SP General] aganhakiem:
oh, i see, sorry for asking but im still a noob, how to correctly undervolt my phone ?
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
I really don't now either..I think that's possible using app like Trickster Tools but I'm sure if you search in the forum you'll find better answer and maybe some complete guide to do that
[Xperia SP General] igor_anta:
Just to drop by and say that battery on PAC #3 can be outstanding if you're willing to put a little bit of effort to save it up. Here is a screen of my battery during this weekend.

*This is running DooMKernel v13 on default frequencies and voltages with interactive gov.
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Experienced some pretty heavy battery drain recently (Paranoid neXus Build 12, .207 kernel), 'Android OS' was the culprit. Anyone else having similar issues?
[Xperia SP General] Arrow04:
Sorry for this probably noob question but what is undervolt and how we can do it?
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Lowering the voltage to your CPU etc to save a bit of power, you need UBL and a custom kernel. Not sure if you can do it with stock at all i've never seen the need to look.

After flashing new build with full swipe, can i restore the data partition(installed apps) from previous build which i have as TWRP Backup..

If so,will it cause any troubles/force closes ??? or what is the best method to restore installed apps???
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Best bet it to restore using titanium backup if you want to keep app data etc, you should be ok using a backup of data partition as it would be no real different than a dirty flash.

[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION]

Is there any obvious reason for net getting Dynamic status bars in SP.. Any chance of getting it in future builds of Paranoid Android ?
[Xperia SP General] prabhav.3892:
coz it might not be open source yet like the new recents.
[Xperia SP General] arhun:
So we won't get those exclusive paranoid features in our ROM ?
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
We'll get them when the PA dev team add them to the PASOP legacy code sources (probably when the official build for 4.5/4.6 goes stable). Its nothing specific to Xperia SP just the way they are doing releases it seems, very annoying.

[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:

Paranoid Android

Which gives better performance and battery for a normal user ? Dalvic vs ART...

If ART is good, what about battery life ? Does it cause any problems or has any limitations ?
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
To be honest id say ART/Dalvik are pretty much the same in general use. The saving for ART are not noticable unless you are really micromanaging your battery and you have severe OCD. Its performance is slightly better though.

ART's only limitation is it cant be used with Xposed framework and if you ever clear your dalvik cache youll have a longer wait on boot up.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Funny that you still clear 'dalvik' cache on even Art.
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Heh yep i guess from L itll start being referred to as ART or maybe runtime cache, you cant just call it cache as we have one of those too.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
I think its called ART cache now on :)
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Would be great to have an official PA too but dont burn yourself out doing too much.
[Xperia SP General] lvints:
I understand. Anyway thanks for your work for XSP.;)

I've a problem, When I flash this rom or pac rom, on a fresh and clean install, system ui consumes always more than 20% of cpu all the time, same if I don't do anything.. On stock or CM11 system ui consume only 1-2% when I don't do anything....
[Xperia SP General] Amotefaena:

First of all Kudos to nexus prime for this aws work!!! Multitasking has been improved a lot!! Bt Is this just me or is it normal to have 100-150 MB ram free in paranoid nexus build 12?also trial extreme lags a little!!!
[Xperia SP General] arhun:
I think it's normal when you are having lots of applications in the background.. I'm getting 270mb+ free ram
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
Enable ART and odex the ROM. Your available RAM will surely increase.

I explained in the official thread how to odex it. Page 13 I think...

[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
I can confirm ART works on the PA rom. Hmm try a reinstall with full wipe and install GApps in one shot. After first boot, straightaway change to ART b4 restoring any apps. I suggest using titanium backup to backup apps and restore. Hope it'll help.

Hey Guys :D

After the last update #12

I found that using the GravityBox crashes the systemui !

I don't think this was happening before :D

Any fix for this ??

also rebooting the phone resets the gravitybox changes ! :D

also may using Android L Theme/custom CM themes be the problem ?

Thank You :D

Locked Bootloader :D
[Xperia SP General] Gamm86:
As said before, you have to get rid of Xposed. Not only disable it, but completely remove it.

Otherwise, ART won't work.

[Xperia SP General] arhun:
I have tried that by re-inserting the sim card but its not solving the issue..

Shall i try re-flashing with different recoveries (CWM/Philz) other than TWRP ? or going back to stock and re-flashing will do the trick ??
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Well, you could try reflashing .205/.207 baseband from any India firmware (in flashtool tick exclude system and wipe userdata, so it will leave PA and your data untouched). It's the only thing that could work.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Steve i saw your changes and tweaks in hijack. looking good.

You got rid of knight rider led, but did you replace it with any color?? just confirming how will the user know when to press for recovery. I havent checked it yet.
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
Its just a normal red led followed by a vibrate.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
I replaced this with a single red led flash. It gives two seconds for users to press the button, previously it was three seconds.
