No, on my device battery life on CM11 is better, than on stock ROM.

Changed CPU to 1.9 is it stock performance for our device?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Stock is 2265ghz and you need to turn oft NFC :D after first flash its on
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] thomas8787:
Yes, i've relocked and unlocked again to try. When I flash the recovery, the writing is successful, but on boot the led doesn't turn on.

There's no other recovery i can try?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
first you need to erase recovery partition via fastboot with these line fastboot erase recovery

then use an old boot.img to install lollipop and reboot if this is fine you can flash twrp via fastboot

the last rom you had installed was a kitkat rom like cm11

BTW: New Build is uploading at the moment Cpu-Z and Pac Performance Control problem is fixed :D
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] thomas8787:
Thank you, it's working now!

Nice ROM :p
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] alexeyshb:
Any other changes? If I don't found Cpu-Z and Pac Performance Control problems, I can not reflash?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
If you don't have problems you don't need to flash the New one the only thing i do was a repo sync (using newest Source Form PAC and CM)

Feedback on "pac_castor_windy_LP.Alpha-1.dev_20150115-103720.zip" after half day of use:

PROS:

- Very stable. No crashes or FC's so far :)

- Visually it offers a much more appealing and cleaner user experience to the point that I don't actually need any extra apps to pimp up the system. I basically just installed Apex Launcher because I am just used to it. The rest I left the way it is. It's very pretty indeed :)

- YouTube App now streams 1080 content. I never managed that with KitKat.

- No sound problems. KitKat had some glitches (thread.)

- Camera is working. At least I could take pictures and make a short video.

- Bluetooth is working. At least I could transfer one of the taken pictures to my smartphone.

- It seems to be possible to overclock. I didn't try that yet.

CONS:

- No GPS. I installed "GPS Status" (link) to test and so far it could never load any GPS data. I don't think it's working at all.

- The old charging problem is unfortunately reintroduced. It's basically impossible to charge the device while turned off. I had this problem with at least two other PACMAN versions including one for the previous version this tablet. I assume it will be fixed soon (thread1 / thread2.)

- Recovery is tricky. I didn't manage to flash "TWRP_Castor_Windy.img" so far even after a "fastboot erase recovery" command. The device simply won't boot. Right now I'm not sure which .img file I should use - lasted Lollipop or old KitKat? or which effect they would have on the system. I’ll test further and report.

- No Pie Controls but I assume it will come soon. I understand that this is just an extra but it's really important to me and actually a deal-breaker. I'm just too addicted to Pie to live without it. Any idea of when it will be added? Please!!! :)

Flash TWRP

Hello,

i have flashed the PacMan LP Rom with the cm recovery. Thank you for this nice rom. I have one question: How can I TWRP flash with fastboot from my PC?

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

is this correct?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Instructions with Computer:

1. Download the correct recovery (Castor=LTE/Castor_Windy=Wifi only) to your adb folder (fastboot folder)

2.Open Terminal in adb Folder

3.write: fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor_Windy.img

or

fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor.img

4.Connect your tablet via USB

5.Reboot into bootloader

6.press enter on computer

7.wait some seconds

8.disconnect tablet after writing was OK

9.Reboot tablet and when the notification led is purple (pink) press volume + and volume - some times

10.You will see that the Led is orange and the tablet will Boot into recovery

11.Enjoy it (You don't need to do this before every New update only one time)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
New build is up,too

cm theme engine is included and some performance tweaks
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
thanks for your review

gps is not working since the first builds and it seems hard to fix

the recovery problem i can't understand i've done these some times and the device never didn't boot

use this instruction above and test it with this

but i will make an installer for it in the next time

one installer for linux and one for windows and maybe one as an android app
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Frostbiter:
Do you need to install the recovery before or after flashing the rom, I tried to install the recovery before the rom and I could never boot into recovery, it would just be a black screen and the orange led light would be on. I could boot up my tablet fine but recovery would not work. I managed to get recovery back by installing the previous recovery, but never upgraded tried flashing the 5.0 rom from the old recovery then fastboot installing the twrp recovery.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] atamig:
The same here. I flashed the recovery before installing the rom. I can boot in the recovery but i have a black screen… ..
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
First you Need to install the lollipop Rom with gapps and supersu with the old Boot.IMG Form kk

Then reboot to system after that you can install the recovery via fastboot

If you have install the recovery before flashing the Rom you need to earse recovery partition via fastboot (fastboot erase recovery)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] LeBoy:
Now I can now confirm that Recovery is working. I must have done something wrong the first time I flashed it. Here what worked for me:

- Install the Lollipop ROM + GApps using whatever Recovery you have. Note that in my case I never installed SuperSU!

- Turn off device completely.

- Press <Volume Up> and plug USB cable.

- LED should turn blue.

- Send command: "fastboot erase recovery"

- Send command: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor_Windy.img"

- Unplug USB cable.

- Device will reboot.

- When LED turns pink press <Volume Up> and <Volume Down> several times.

- You should now see TWRP :)

Now you can enter Recovery from Lollipop Reboot menu without problems. I also did a complete Backup and Restore operation yesterday and I can confirm that everything works flawlessly!

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION]: Thanks for the great work and engagement!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] atamig:

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] atamig:
Thanks for the great rom. I have no problem with this. All apps running fine… .
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] spider623:
Hey Dev, any idea if the pacman team will use rro instead of the cm theme engine?

What is rro you say?

Originally developed by Sony is there theme solution, a team here on XDA took it and created layers, it allows themes, bug fixes and translation to be added and feel like build in features

https://plus.google.com/100365548202649159381/posts/GhsDQESpfDN
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Hello

I think PAC will use the Cm engine only

Cm engine is included in the last build and in my opinion it is not usefull to have two Theme engines

Rcstar6696
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
I have a SGP512which is WiFi only, is it still considered the Castor_Windy? Because I know theres a SGP511 variant and I'm unsure if the ROMs are interchangeable.

Also PAC-man is build off CM12, so it will have all the same features + more?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
You can install it :D my z2 is a sgp512 ,too the rom is for SGP 511 and 512

Both uses the same Roms

PAC Rom has more features than cm12 e.g. APP circle From aokp

Today i will Provide a New build
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
Oh awesome :) Im trying to find a FTF to downgrade my firmware as we speak but once I'm rooted and have a custom recovery ill be trying this ROM.

Does this mean your new build will feature Theme support? (if it doesn't already)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Cm themes are included since the build from 19th
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
Cool :)

Another question, does this retain double-tap to wake?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Double tap to wake is working but you need to install PAC performance and set some code which enables it
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
Can you show me how to do that? Got my tab rooted and installed XZRecovery. About to flash it now :) Yay!

EDIT:

Just tried to flash Castor_Windy 24/01/2015 and it didn't work. Said my device was a Castor (LTE) version when it definitely is not :/
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] spider623:
Rro is not even compatible with cm theme engine lol, also it can be used for bug fixing, translations, etc, anw I was asking because carbon uses it now, if no one bring it I can always build my own aosp?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Frostbiter:
Xzrecovery is for stock based roms only. You need to unlock your bootloader and flash another recovery in order to be able to flash this.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
The Problem is the dual recovery you have to delete it and install an other recovery

you need to unlock your bootloader and flash an Boot.IMG Form KitKat Rom or if you want i will send you a link to an Boot.IMG

Flashing the IMG via fastboot
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
New Builds

New Build can be downloaded

Notification Led now working better but the colour is only white at the Moment

Useing newest cm and PAC repos for compailing
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
Oh thats weird.

My bootloader is unlocked but yeah send me this Boot.IMG please :) Is it a AOSP KK Boot.IMG?

Then just install TWRP from your main post?

https://mega.co.nz/#!fVoxGITL!xhZ4MEs0prz_FrtVscNrN3ltvJGXpnNMAZPKIl8fBcU

Recovery Installation (Links for Recoverys are in the first post)

- Flash an old Boot.img and enter recovery

- Install the Lollipop ROM + GApps+SuperSU

- Turn off device completely.

- Press <Volume Up> and plug USB cable.

- LED should turn blue.

- Send command: "fastboot erase recovery"

- Send command for Castor_Windy: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor_Windy.img"

- Send command for Castor: "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Castor.img"

- Unplug USB cable.

- Device will reboot.

- When LED turns pink press <Volume Up> and <Volume Down> several times.

- You should now see TWRP
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] GalaxyWhy:
So having that boot img will fix the error I had earlier when it thought I had a Castor device when mines actually castor_windy?

Also when I change to TWRP will I still be able to flash stock-based ROMs if I want to?

Cheers
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Yes this Boot.img fixes the Problem with the wrong device

Yes you can flash stock Roms but you need to erase the recovery partition after installing stock based Roms because we use the fotakernel partion for recovery but in stock it would be used for other things
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Has anyone flashed the castor-version ??

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Frostbiter:
Judging from their g+ page they will allow lollipop builds as soon as they finish up setting up their new structure for maintaining roms as well as having beta releases ready, they said a out 4 weeks. Just gotta wait a bit is all.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] PVL_93_RU:
Weird

The second or third post of the thread says I can flash recovery separately

But you can't do it on thos device, no? You need to flash entire boot.img
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
No since Android 5 you can flash the recovery without a complet Boot.IMG

In Android 5 we use the fota kernel partion for it
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
Can you explain this in a little more detail, please?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
TWRP link removed as well? Could someone share a mirror?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Sorry here are the links

Castor (LTE): https://mega.co.nz/#!vMwVRKIb!-EWM8JOEqToTa7vE4Wuh1odVNvg7DM9B2jTU6uZjJgo

Castor_windy (Wifi only): https://mega.co.nz/#!HNJV1IgA!GeLKqR79g6O7NY2zEcll_THYoplM09qwM5aZFzGvsQ0

Since Android 5 we use the fotakernel partition for recoverys

The fotakernel partion is only used in stock Roms for the updateing process in cm or in cm based Roms the fotakernel partion is not used

we think its very usefull to use it for recoverys
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
Thanks for the links! I think it's very smart and usefull way to use useless partition. Anyway it's very retard decision from Sony to intergrate boot and recovery to same partition. They should learn from nexus and keep those separate.

Hi everyone. The dvorak layout packaged on TMO and on openrepos sucks really bad, so last night I rewrote it myself inspiring on the android keyboard one.

I'm not in the mood to rpm it, because to modify the last keyboard row I've got to edit a layout-indipendent file of maliit conf. I'm going to send these changes to Penguin, hoping he could do the work.

You've got to replace your language file with dvorak.qml and SpacebarRowDeadKey.qml

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverdroid:
I have Moto G XT1033 dual sim indian version

After using it for a month, i found it has these quirks (and some more)

1. Same ringtones, message tone for both the SIMs

samsung galaxy phones can set different ringtones for different SIMs

2. No option to call from SIM1 or SIM2 in dialer, needs one more touch to select SIM

3. Few settings in Quick Settings

4. No toggles in notifications (I use Power Toggles for this now though)

5. No option to clear all recent apps as in samsung phones

As far as i researched 3,4,5 can be fixed by Xposed framework by gravitybox

Xposed framework should give me more tweaks on my stock ROM like numeric battery percentage

IMP: Can 1,2 be fixed by some method/app

So for installing Xposed we need root, therefore i am interested in rooting my phone

i have a few questions regarding this.

Warranty related questions

1. What kind of issues are covered and not covered under warranty?

What hardware issues are covered? Is there an accidental damage warranty too,

say in case i drop my device in water and it stops functioning. What is not covered?

2. Rooting voids warranty. Okay. But what does it mean?

Will service center people not entertain any (hardware) problems on my device

OR they will entertain but will charge for them as if my warranty has expired

Xposed related questions

3. Is Xposed framework (as of date) fully functional on Moto G specially dual sim version on 4.4.4?

4. Will there be any hangs or lags if it is installed properly

5. Will its plugins cause things like force close etc.

6. Which plugins to install in exposed framework?

Rooting related questions

7. Will unlocking bootloader factory reset the device and delete everything on device? I think so, plz confirm

8. assuming that on stock rooted ROM and after installing custom recovery, can i more back to stock recovery for installing OTA?

9. How can i safely factory reset the device after installing custom recovery?

I have read doing factory reset makes the device go into boot-loop

10. Please tell the links to stock rom urls (indian dual sim version) in case i flash a custom rom

device related questions

11. How to switch off the phone (esp when phone is in boot-loop)

pressing power button for around 5-6 seconds reboots the phone

to power off, the only way i know is to select power off from the power menu

is there another way? like pressing power button for a longer time

recovery related questions

12. I saw on forums that there are 3 recoveries for this phone

cwm, cwm touch (philZ) and twrp, can we install any of them?

Since this phone does not have a SD card, will we be able to transfer data from PC to phone and vice versa WHILE we are in recovery

Is there a working 'mount USB mass storage' for this phone in the recoveries
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meuuks13:
Warranty - Accidental damage is not covered under warranty. Rooting your phone voids all kinds of warranty including physical and yes they will charge you extra for fixing it.

Xposed:_

1) yes

2) no

3) no

$) first there are called modules and there are many for you to browse under download section though i would recommend GravityBox, Greenify, Tinted Status Bar, Google Play Music Music Listen Later.

Rooting:-

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) You dont need to and neither you should

4) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700502

Device - when stuck in a a bootloop you cant power you phone off until the battery empties. All you can do is press the power button for 10 secs and then immediately press the power and volume down button for 3 secs and enter into boot loader to fix your device.

Recovery- All three are great. I recommend CMW Touch..and usb mount storage s available on all three

Please hit thanks if i helped :)
