(Q) Disco u light Works on it? Thanks :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkar1990:
Ask in the general thread.

However, it should work with the illumination receiver apk.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Just wipe cache and dirty flash it over build 12.

Should cause no issues.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Audio Imbalance Fix patch.

See attachment.

For Build # 13.

Hi Nexus!

What differents this rom about Pac rom?! :what:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Less customisation and features, some better UI elements, closer to AOSP, better memory use.
[Xperia SP Android Development] umair42:
Do i need to flash stock kernel after flashing rom or is it pre-installed with the rom?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
No, the kernel was included in the zip file :p
[Xperia SP Android Development] jghiya:
Overallgood rom thnx again Nexus Prime :) b13 bt I m facing lag while using Facebook app also and the multitasking is nt gr8 even sometimes whatsapp lags i have many apps installed I have attached a screenshot I knw switching to art helps bt still I need some of modules of Xposed like dat of greenify and boot manager so I think these all are performance issues
[Xperia SP Android Development] kanav96:
Even PAC has a better ram management :p

My wager would be that you performed a dirty flash or used backup to restore your apps. Because honestly speaking PA rom a.k.a lightspeed should give you no issues

DON'T JUST SAY THANKS. HIT IT :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] jghiya:
No I didn't do dirty flash it ws a full wipe and I didn't restore apps I downloaded them all again so I don't think there ws a problem in flashing the ROM
[Xperia SP Android Development] kanav96:
That is strange. Try downloading from the given link again or try using PAC rom. Its worth it :D

Edit : just remebered , people tend to have same issues if they are using an incompatible theme. Switch back to default and see

DON'T JUST SAY THANKS. HIT IT :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] jghiya:
Ya thnks a lot dude :))) my bad reverted back to default theme and saw a instant change in ram management now no longer processes get restarted and ram is 150-200 mb free
[Xperia SP Android Development] kanav96:
No problems mate. Enjoy the rom ?

DON'T JUST SAY THANKS. HIT IT :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Odexing the ROM will greatly increase user experience.

See page 13 of this thread.

ya bro :)) have done it earlier wen i ws on build 12:)))vl do it again thnks again for remindin me :)):good::cowboy:

Thanks for the great ROM[emoji1]
[Xperia SP Android Development] shahrukhqasim:
This thing happened with me after I rooted and installed custom recoveries in stock 4.3. But when I changed to PA 4.4.4, it disappeared. I would suggest, do a factory reset from recovery and then turn off and reflash the .205 ftf from Flashtool. Might resolve the issue.

Hey, can somebody who has used both official cm11 and this rom tell me that which one is better and why? Don't ignore such questions guys, that the reason this thread is for, helping each other and convincing then to download the right rom ;) so please help me
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Frequencies Asked Questions

FAQ

5. XYZ Rom is way better than this.

Ans. You have already been reported to Mods/Admins.

If only i were not the author of both CM and PA, i would have reported right now. Please don't make this a comparison thread.

AND, there is a GENERAL thread. This is DevDB thread. Please. just please.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dashing_97:
Man, just one thing, you are totally right, i must have read the faqs before posting, but man you can't make everything to work the way you want, there are many new people on xda every week who wanna learn, disrespecting them won't help man, just let go sometimes, i was just tired of changing roms that i wanted a quick solution, i accept my mistake though :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Someone please link the Intro Video of XDA New Users here for all to see again.

I am not a bad guy. I know how i was when i was a noob. And that was wrong.

If you know something is wrong, you do something about it, try n make it right.

And not that i would do it, but if people won't respect the rules repeatedly, i can simply quit and lock the threads. I have done this before, can do it again. I ask no donations, no favors, no help. Just appreciate with clicking thanks, and follow the rules of threads.

Lastly, lets resume normal service. I have made far too many general posts these days. Should concentrate on PAC build # 1.
[Xperia SP Android Development] pan_ataman:
great news! I am willing to help with testing!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Will be interested to see latest PAC-man rom, not tried that since Bagyusz 4.3 version.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sbE:
PAC? Why? I tried it last year and it feels extremely "overfeatured". I don't like it. Pure Paranoid is and will be my favorite ROM.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
My mistake i mentioned pac in this thread.

Anyhow i want to keep purists and features junkies both happy so i choose one lean and clean paranoid and other flooded with features like pac.

Both have an active github

I will update and maintain both
[Xperia SP Android Development] SpaceCaker:
Omni rom or aosp would be nice

Pac used to be good on 4.1.2 old times but now its way to similiar to Omni/aokp/cm/slim/aosb etc

All those roms

But everyone has different opinion ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] igor_anta:
Just to add my opinion about the volume of the rom and if you should indeed include Viper4Android or not. MrSteve555 was right about Sony users simply being used to higher volumes and tend to complain more compared to others, Nexus users for example.

That being said including Viper4Android in your rom seems like a mistake for more than one reason. First people might just complain that it doesn't work and yet they probably didn't even set it up right, and to set up Viper is a tricky thing. That's why there is a huge section in the application thread devoted to explain every single option.

Second the app offers different set ups for different listening preferences, whether it's just the options and equalizers or the more complex tricks like IRS. I spent a week till I finally found my preferred set up.

So you might consider providing a link in the OP pointing the app out as a solution for volume problems and people can go to that thread for all their questions and issues.

Since I'm on UBL and I'm using DooMKerneL I have the option of combining Faux Audio and Viper4Android and the sound output is simply magnificent. So all it takes is some effort from the users and they can get the results they want, no need for you to bother with it.

PS. Sorry if there was already an answer for this but a search didn't provide me one. Does Apps2SD work at all? Or maybe there is a step I'm missing to get it to work properly?

This is the best rom I've tried for the SP, from both the UBL and BL pools, AOSP and stock. Keep up the great work, cheers :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Apps2SD works, but not with the obb files. It actually moves some part of the app to external storage. I think it's connected with the way KK handles external storage.

And you should post the question about the App2SD to general thread. Just a reminder :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Constructive post. Thank you.

Me n steve already discussed in PM and i have decided not to add it. No spoon-feeding, users should do some work themselves.

Secondly and MORE importantly, I seem to be seeing a lot of Kangz appearing which is a source of concern.

Some are copied, just themed and build.prop mods.

Some are built from my (and originally bagyusz) source tree. This is somewhat acceptable. Source-compiling is Ok. Copy-pasting,editing, Not ok. Although releasing ROM is based on permission.

So I would urge my users to be their own judge, Use what's original and they think is better. And help to make it EVEN better. Any optimization, additions, reductions, bugfixes, ideas are welcome.

Further to clarify,

1. neXusCM project is closed. (CM for LBL will be maintained by bagyusz, i have no personal interest in CM)

2. Paranoid-neXus is maintained by me. (That means PA KK for LBL)

3. neXus-P-A-C (will be released soon, PAC KK) maintained by me.

These are the ROMs for which i have permitted source trees plus my own code. Any copy is not endorsed by me.

I won't take any action against any kang, copy because xSP community is a small one, plus users should be sensible to notice whats what.

Regards

neXus

EDIT: what [MENTION=5579865]MrSteve555[/MENTION] said, it belonged to general thread :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] ironshadow2:
to be honest I dont thing neXus-P-A-C rom is necessary, we already have too many AOSP roms, and Paranoid neXus is the best for now.
[Xperia SP Android Development] thewild:
Sorry for being a bit OT, but can you elaborate on this ?

The way I understand how APKs and Dalvik work, once the Dalvik cache is built, odexed or deodexed won't make any difference.

The only difference is that you'll have more free space on the odexed ROM because you don't need classes.dex in your APKs.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Apps in odexed ROMs have no need to build up dalvik cache, which causes them to be faster.

Furthermore, odexed ROMs take up

more space

since the .odex files have to be created next to the existing APK files.
[Xperia SP Android Development] eSu.Matix:
Oh, boy. Why do you even speak when you clearly dont know what you're talking about?

On paper, yes! odexed should be faster, but practically there is no difference. The only difference is being able to modify your android package or not. Being a custom ROM, only makes sense to have deodexed apks. That's why we use the word "custom" ;).
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
You are right mostly. But people who reboot a lot, and notice bootup time, that also makes a difference if its odexed or not. Otherwise, deodexed is the way to go, as it allows apk modification very easily.
[Xperia SP Android Development] thewild:
EDIT : sorry, I had not seen the previous answers

Dalvik cache is only built once (at boot time or when app is first run), so apps won't be any faster.

First boot after clearing Dalvik will be faster (you won't have "optimizing applications"), and first run off an app will be faster, but not subsequent runs.

So I don't see why odexing this ROM would make it run any better.

I'm just trying to understand, mind you.

Deodexed = APK (containing classes.dex) + dalvik cache (=classes.dex optimized = odex file)

Odexed = APK (without classes.dex) + odex file (=dalvik cache)

So you can see that Odexed uses less space, since it has the same files (APK and odex), but the APK is smaller because it does not contain classes.dex.

If you don't clear the Dalvik cache, booting time should be the same, shouldn't it ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
can i ask more question :D

if the Rom have the update files, i have to factory reset then install the new update, right? is there any way to install update without factory reset

like other rom do? i have a lot of apps :(

Tks and sorry for my bad english
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
No you can dirty flash updates.

Best advice if youre doing custom roms though is to buy titanium backup pro and backup all your apps to SD with that then you can just restore them with data after a clean flash.

Saves me no end of time.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
yeah, i had it, i mean that, i have so much apps (nearly 100 - some apps are big) so if i factory reset after update, it will take a lot of time :p so, if i do dirty flash, will it harm my device or make some bug?
[Xperia SP Android Development] pa33vel:
Don't harm, but have many bug.

Titanium rolling!:thumbup:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
tks bro, and is PAC is a ROM which combine PA (this rom?) and Cyanogen?

But maybe you right!
[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkar1990:
PAC is paranoid android, aokp and cyanogen mod.

[Xperia SP Android Development] shofiul1994:
ok is it just me or this rom is a little annoying.... build 12 was amazing and with all my apps installed i had 300mb ram for multitasking and in build 13 i have like 110mb. thats not my concern but rom lags and takes forever to open settings(34secs) not always but it really doesnt respond as smoothly as build 12.
[Xperia SP Android Development] kanav96:
Go check what nexus said a page before.

DON'T JUST SAY THANKS. HIT IT :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] shofiul1994:
nothing that helped me.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Kotth:
How can I have the dynamic bars?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Buy an officially supported PA phone and download proper PA. Dynamic bars and new recents are closed source.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkar1990:
Or wait till they are open sourced. Or wait till our device becomes official legacy device (which may be next week,month or never, lol)

You will get it someday. Dont worry about that.

Or if you are ready to port it from an official device you can do that too... so many ways! ! !
[Xperia SP Android Development] prabhav.3892:
Why is there all this fuss about DSB we have xposed and tinted SB from even before paranoid could think about it.

Although the only downside is you gotta be on Dalvik.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
the icons are so big, could anyone please tell me how to resize them without chang dpi in build.prop and how can i get sony's ringstone?

Thanks :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] deemanthax:
change the launcher...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
Can we change the size of navibar?
[Xperia SP Android Development] eSu.Matix:
Yes. Nexus has a module called nexus navibar. You can see the dpi.

Sent from my Xperia SP
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
tks bro, its work :good: could you tell me some xposed module to custom the UI of this rom :cyclops:
[Xperia SP Android Development] eSu.Matix:
Well, GravityBox is the most popular.
[Xperia SP Android Development] air001:
But some functions doesn't work on PA #8 for me. For example nav bar's height modification. I suggest Xblast Tools.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
i'm using it but some mods do not work :(

i have used it before gravity box, i feel it's no beautifull and less mods than that one, but thanks, i will try it again :D

New PA build

https://mega.co.nz/#!ylgWTBqZ!nGSqww3xSfP7NiuhXgl3CzWZ356Nt-K7Agagfsiaq38

Should be significantly faster then previous. If test reports are ok, ill make it B#14
[Xperia SP Android Development] ak.akshay:
bro on previous build mobile lgas to much and music also lagas while playing. tried all available kernel but same prob

hope on this kerenl it dosnt lags

nd bro when u compile rom with diffrent toochain and optimization than some apps stop working like themerbeta app
[Xperia SP Android Development] eSu.Matix:
Should I flash the kernel from page 1 every time or does the ROM comes with the included kernel?

thanks for the new build btw
[Xperia SP Android Development] arhun:
Flashed this build after full wipe.. after second restart its a bit faster than build 12..

The boot animation is "android logo", not the PA one.. and also, the CM file manager app is missing..

Going to restore the apps from titanium backup..will update the performance after that,,

Thanks for the ROM..
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I meant it shud be faster than B#13 coz 13 was without o3. B12 already had o3 so it will be almost similar to it.

B12

Linaro

Archi = o3

B13

GCC

No Archi = o2

B14 (or this latest i posted)

GCC

Archi = o3

So all three have different combo. I am sticking with GCC as linaro isnt that good. Although Archi commit i will keep if users think it is faster.
[Xperia SP Android Development] arhun:
I have restored the apps. now its same like build 12.. I haven't tested build #13...

The touch looks more responsive than build #12.. But couldn't find any sound increase in speaker as well as in voice calls/music listening.

Thanks for the new release..looks very stable for me..
[Xperia SP Android Development] ak.akshay:
bro new build is fater but still some graficals glitches and lags present there
[Xperia SP Android Development] arhun:
I also felt it at the first boot.. restart 2 times.. it will be very good. I have restored 30 new apps with data.. even after that didnt get any lag..

Note: I have not tested any games.
[Xperia SP Android Development] kimikim0:
so the PAC Rom with latest optimized build # 4.with what combo ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Dont ask this here. Ask in general or PAC thread, but still its like this:

PAC

B#3

Linaro + o3

B#4

GCC + o2

B#5 (which is complete, but i havent uploaded it yet)

GCC + o3

B#5 shud be almost equal to B#3 in performance but with more updates and touch improvements + sound fixes.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Build 5 same as build 3 in performance. Faster than build 4. The occasional sluggishness is gone.
[Xperia SP Android Development] kimikim0:
sorry my mistake , thanks boss , waiting the build 5 ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
OP updated

Build 14:

https://mega.co.nz/#!ylgWTBqZ!nGSqww3xSfP7NiuhXgl3CzWZ356Nt-K7Agagfsiaq38

- Reverted to GCC

- o3 flags

- source update

- Some autobrightness fixes (might not have major impact)
[Xperia SP Android Development] ak.akshay:
i restore more than 30 apps feeling little bit lag still formated and reinstalled 2 times
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Do we have the dynamic bars or card recents yet???
[Xperia SP Android Development] ak.akshay:
nope we didnt but we can use tinted status bar xposed module
[Xperia SP Android Development] 47un:

[Xperia SP Android Development] cactus92:
I can hide the navbar and use the pie control, keeping visible the status bar?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Nathan rd:

[Xperia SP Android Development] M7mdA7md7sein:
Thanks bro :D

What should I do when a new build is out ?

Install normally then odex again ?

or just install ?

or deodex then install then reodex !?

also what about after installing apps ? should run it after each app or can live with that ? :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] khestoi:
are the default sony apps removed also? like walkman, album and other xperia stuff? should i also perform a system wipe?

thanks!
[Xperia SP Android Development] kanav96:
Yes. Because this is not a sony rom anymore .

DON'T JUST SAY THANKS. HIT IT :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
You can dirty flash new builds without deodexing it first and odex it again after you flashed the update. It won't cause any issues at all.

Just know that you will have to flash the zip from page 13 again after every update.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
can you tell me more cuz i'm a newbie here :laugh:

i installed #13 few days ago and now i want to update #14 but i don't want to reset factory my phone again :p and the way you have told on page 13, i have ever do it before, what does it help our phone?

Thank you and sorry for my bad english :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
1. Just reboot to recovery

2. Wipe cache only (not data, or factory. Just cache. Be careful) OR if you are afraid, skip this step altogether. Not mandatory.

3. Install the B#14 zip. And reboot.

And btw, dirty flash means not wiping anything,. Just installing a rom zip.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Reddemons15:
Thank bro, i know every step :D i mean that will it harm my device or take a lot of memory's space when i do a dirty flash :confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] kanav96:

[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I'm gonna do a risky experiment and use aospa framework to build instead of legacy. Hopefully that will bring DSB and card stack recent.

Downside is, there is a chance it may fail to boot altogether, but recovery will still work, so easily recoverable. I'll upload once a test build is ready.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
It will make things cleaner(no CM leftovers), but it won't bring new features. They are also closed source for official devices.

Btw, AOSPA(Android Open Source Paranoid Android) should change its name to ACSPA(Android Closed Source Paranoid Android) to avoid unneccessary confusion.
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Steve, i am amazed at the level of confidentiality. Those guys, and everyone related to AOSPA is so hostile. You ask about dsb and they throw the closed source rant.

Very amazed at this day n age of android. Its like we are moving towards IOS model.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Lets go one final step and call it VPACSP Very Paranoid - Android Closed Source Project.

Its sad as their features are well thought out and implemented they just seem to have lost sight of the whole open source thing.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ironshadow2:
That is sad, they think they are better than others.

BTW, i can test it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Yep, they are just unfriendy and uncooperable when it comes to code sharing. Is the kanging possibility THAT big? When CM adds a feature, it's open source immediately, people can improve it, etc., etc. Idk why PA doesn't do things like that.

Anyway, even Google is somewhat moving to closed source, at least in the apps part. Look:

Old open source search app(outdated now) -> Google Now

MMS/SMS(slowly starts to age) -> Hangouts

Dialer(newest version is from jelly bean, but CM rewrote it with the new Google changes, so we have an open source counterpart) -> "Google" Dialer

Music(lat updated in ICS) -> Google Music

Gallery(will be also removed in "L") -> Google+ photos

AOSP Browser(dead from two android versions, but still usable) -> Chrome

Calendar -> Google Calendar

Basically now most of the apps from AOSP are outdated and we are somehow forced to flash Gapps package. iOS is coming with all of its closed source magic and bending features(had to mention it :p)
