Thanks, but what has changed?

Think you need to update the first post.

I think you have done a great job :good:. I haven't found any problem yet and it is running great :good:. Therefore I don't feel great need to update, but would like to know what has changed..
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:

Ok. I don't have a smart cover or LTE version and the rest looks to be mainly code cleaning. I may update, but am not in a hurry.

It is running much better for me that the original rom and if there is a way to donate, I would happily buy you a beer for the effort ;)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] CRaSH3k:
Hi!

Any chance that this ROM will also be available for die LTE-version of the Z2?

Tell me, please, this error occurs when installing the latest Pacman, the firmware is completely full wipe , gapps didn't install.The error appears when you select a language (screenshot) and does not work to activate the screen double-tap. Same error on the last cm12. On cm12 from 2015-03-06 everything works fine. May have some thoughts how to overcome it?

sorry for bad English
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] z4tracer:
I have the same issue, after installed pa gapps it will come out a FC on setting.

Also while click the language setting same FC will be brought up too.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Yes i have seen it but its only in the first boot. You can change the language in settings normally

I have check this Option and all other things you can find in settings,too. Double tap to wake seems to be not Working correctly you need to change a value and than it should work

Open terminal and write this

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/wakeup_gesture

I hope the next build will fix it

I don't have cmw recovery installed.. I have everything stock(on the latest sony 4.44 update). Not even rooted. I only unlocked the bootloader... Pls put me through and provide the link to the doomlord's kernel. Thank you in advance.

hi here are the link for doomlords kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708194

look into the thread there are instruction how to flash the boot.img and after that you have to use my instruction two posts before

now i know whats the problem is you don't need to install cwm to flash doomlodes kernel. the kernel includes the recovery sorry my mistake
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] toole:
It is stated there that the kernel is for a different firmware version (4.4.2) and I've got a 4.4.4.. Can I still flash it?

[MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION] are you sure the MEGA ROM directory links are correct? I'm getting "webpage not available "

Can you also upload the ROM somewhere else?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Yes you can flash it but the devices won't boot to the system only to recovery with press the Volumen button sometimes

No i don't upload it to any other hoster

only mega and the links are working without problems i have test it some minutes ago
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] LeBoy:
Good to know that nightlies are rolling again. I'll definitely try the next chance I have.

In the meantime can someone confirm if any of the four points below have been fixed?

- OTG Cable still not working?

- PIE Controls still not included?

- Adjust brightness on status bar still not working as it should?

- GPS still not working?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] toole:
Thanks a lot.. Followed your steps and I got the rom installed.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
1. this bug is on all Sony devices at the Moment

2. no one has port pie to lollipop but if you want it some apps from play store can emulate it

3.adjust brightness is working but in settings adaptive blacklight is switched on if you switch it off it should work

(Adaptive blacklight is nearly the same as auto adjust brightness but you can choose the the brightness range with the slider if its switched on)

4. GPS should work if you set it to high aquerrecy

if you set it only device its not working
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Nice to hear

i hope you like the PAC Rom :D

New build will come later this week and double tap to wake switch in settings should be fixed and maybe f2fs support
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] KimUyLong:

Feedback on "pac_castor_windy_LP-MR1.Beta-2.Unofficial_20150719-132542.zip":

The absence of Pie Controls in the newer builds had me stuck with an older KitKat version of PACMAN for months

but on the weekend I decided to give Lollipop another chance. Here are my first impressions:

PROS:

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

- Android 5.1.1. Much more organized interface and nicer user experience all in all.

- OTG cable is working. I can read my 128GB pen drive with a regular OTG cable without problems.

- YouTube app now streams 1080p contents.

- Device can now be charged while turned off.

- GPS still doesn't send any data to the device but you can lock your location by using "High Accuracy." I assume it uses WiFi cell resolution instead.

- Camera is working.

CONS:

- No Pie Controls.

- A few cracking sounds when volume is pumped up to the maximum. Maybe this is a settings issue. I didn't have time to look into it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Thanks for great review :D PAC will release his own pie control in the next weeks .

I've installed pac_castor_LP-MR1.Beta-3.Official_20151018-150909 on LTE version - everything works fine, but where can I download the right GAPPs? The link in original post is not working.

I've downloaded gapps-lp-20150314.zip from somewhere, it works, but there is a crash of Google Play Service every restart, how to fix it?

Is it possible to instal STAMINA on this ROM? Because the battery drains faster then on stock one.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Crwys:
So I know this is really old but is this rom still available somewhere?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] _Sherrif:
If it is not still available in BasketBuilds (PacRom site), PM me. I still have the zip. Probably my favorite ROM of all time for the Z2 tablet.

Note, rcstar6696, spiritcroc, & opendata have other ROM projects which are worth checking out vs a LP ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Crwys:
Thanks for the response!

I have never used the PAC website before so I didn't know about the BasketBuilds. I was able to find it though and there is two different versions it appears one under Official and one under Dev-Build. One has "Official" in the file name, the other has "Unofficial" in the file name.

Not sure which one is the one posted here but I can try both if one gives me problems.

Also I have tried the new Nougat builds (just about all of them) and they are unfortunately un reliable for me. Even though I follow the directions completely. I had an old Nougat Lineage builds a few months ago but it started to do random reboots. So I decided to try a new one, and another new one. But I kept getting the same problem no matter which one I tried. So then I tried the older 5.1.1 and 6.0 roms and those have been working for me.

I have tried to use Flashtool to restore my tablet to stock then flash the Lineage rom however I can't. See the thread here on that issue:

Newest build runs just as smooth with great battery retention. Thanks for your work
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
How is the standby battery consumption?

On stock, I have 1% battery loss maximum overnight (Stamina Mode, Sync Off, Greenify).

On CM11 (Sync Off, Greenify) this, by far, wasn't possible, the tablet always lost some percent.

Since PAC is based on CM11 and rcstar didn't mess with the kernel, battery consumption should be roughly the same as with CM11, right?

And what about the loudspeaker volume? On CM11 it was much lower than on stock, and to get a decent volume like on stock I had to install Viper4Android which of course ate additional battery (and didn't really sound as good as the Sony sound optimizations)...

Unless these 2 problems are not addressed, I see no advantage in changing the ROM...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rcstar6696:
Hi

Battery consumption is better than cm but not so good as stock. The PAC Rom is based on Cm kernel but the thing is you can use Art and you have more settings as in stock

Okay to the Problem with the loudspeaker i can't say something because i use the tab The most time in loudlessmod

Rcstar6696
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
Thanks for the reply.

ART? Useless. It's known that on pre-Android-L devices the gains in fluidity or battery life are negligible. At the same time you can't use Xposed anymore. So ART = no go.

More settings? It doesn't really help to have more settings (most of which I anyway also can have with stock + Xposed or other additions) when at the same time other very central functions (like battery or volume) are worse.

Unfortunately you don't win me over... The stock .314 ROM is very stable, fluid, touch works perfectly, and has all features one needs and then some (if not, Xposed helps).

Much better would be to have alternative kernels for the tablet! But (like on the first Tablet Z) somehow there is no one to make one! Why???
