you do not have to flash userdata if you are upgrading from previous pabx's builds. flashing userdata.img will wipe your data. redownload the files again and just flash boot and system.img, also try wiping cache via recovery. if the same problem still persist, i would advise you to back up everything and then wipe everything via recovery and cleanly reflash boot, system, and userdata.img

Feedback

Flashed the ROM (thomas' version 18/11/14)and although I know it is in early development still thought should mention few observations that I made while using, idk if it's the same for others.

1. On use for more than 5 min phone seems to become pretty hot.

2. Wi-Fi works better than before and so does Wi-Fi direct.

3. At times there are random call drops.

4. GPS seems to work but during navigation it occasionally drops signal when there isn't any physical interfering factors like trees, flyovers, etc.

Otherwise a pretty neat vanilla android experience.

Random call drops

I can confirm the random call drops issues on pabx latest build. I'm coming from stock 4.4 and it didn't had it so I guess it's not network related. Maybe it's caused by cellular network change (E to 3G or H.. etc). I did a full flash as mentioned multiple times (boot then system then userdata).

Also I woke up with wifi signal dropped this morning and had to turn it off then on again to get it connected.

Apart from that, everything else is good so far and amazing work devs (Y)

Wiping caches etc isn't necessary when flashing the images by fastboot as the target partitions are completely overwritten when flashing anyway. Also, flashing the userdata.img isn't usually necessary when upgrading unless the dev specifically mentions it. ;)

[MENTION=5053453]hunting_[/MENTION] I can't post in the other thread yet so I'm replying to you here, but to be honest questions like that should be in this thread anyway.

If you look back over this thread there are explanations on how to set up recovery and flash GApps, but they're no longer necessary.

Go to pabx's site here http://www.blinkenlights.ch/ccms/android/yuga-l.html and download his latest alpha rom and gapps packages and follow the instructions he's put there.

His rom includes a recovery, as well as automatic installation of gapps.

Yeah I'm using it right now! Recovery is CWM 6.something (no touch), and GApps installed fine. GPS, data, everything seems to be fine :) YouTube didn't even crash my phone this time either.

To get gapps need to flash boot.img from a kernel through fastboot to get recovery to flash gapps it's been covered a couple of times now (not aimed at you mainly for who you've quoted)

I think Thomas should put this in the OP as to how to flash gapps as people are going to keep asking

TAPATALKED WITH MY TAB S 8.4

My Z3 app Ports to all devices
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farran:
Basically I think you are short-cutting the reboot and then manually doing what pabx's automatic gapps installation script does.

Your method would work, however I think pabx's method is a temporary solution (until we have flashable .zips of 5.0) so you don't need to keep reflashing gapps. You just leave the .tgz file in place and it gets installed every time you reboot.

(From the method he describes, it seems to me that he's added a check for the gapps package at /sdcard/gapps_50_yuga_001-db5e.tgz in the boot-up process, which then installs them. This means you can safely flash an updated release of system.img without worrying about your gapps.)

What problem were you actually having with his process?

I took a short-cut (as my userdata is already formatted for 5.0) and put the gapps package in /sdcard before flashing the new images in fastboot. Then on bootup, gapps were installed and my phone never even knew they'd been wiped.

The regular process is required for those who also flashed userdata.img, as that wipes the internal sdcard, so to get the gapps file onto it they have to boot the phone up first.

Also I think it's acceptable to talk about pabx's build as well as thomas's, as they are kind of working together, and I seem to remember that pabx doesn't put his builds on XDA any more (political reasons I think) (sorry if I've remembered this about the wrong person!). :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vo4LG:
Yeah, I was just trying to nudge towards the auto-generated Q&A thread where the 'how to install gapps' is answered about once per page there in the hope that it would keep this thread cleaner (I say, thus polluting the thread).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny19901:
Yeah I suppose so but I don't agree with these automated Q&A threads to be honest as it just makes everything twice as complicated to monitor 2 threads rather than 1 specially when the developer didn't want an automated Q&A thread

Also its easier to help in this thread as if someone finds a way to do something then they share and normally gets added to OP for others etc...

TAPATALKED WITH MY TAB S 8.4

My Z3 app Ports to all devices
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vo4LG:
The problem I was having was that when I booted into recovery to adb push the gapps tgz file, the /sdcard did not mount (and couldn't me mounted: it was /dev/null in the fstab). That was after freshly flashing all three files (boot.img, system.img, userdata.img) and before first boot (which is presumably why the /sdcard didn't mount).

Ultimately, I think I just misinterpreted the following lines of PABX's instructions:

Download the gapps package (see below) and push it to /sdcard/ AFTER flashing system.img.

Afterwards, reboot your phone to start the automatic installation.

To mean:

After flashing system.img push the gapps package to /sdcard/ and then when your phone boots it will start the Google Setup Wizard.

(i.e. I understood 'after flashing system.img' to mean 'immediately after flashing system.img' and thus 'before first boot', and 'automatic installation' to mean 'google setup wizard' rather than 'automatic installation of gapps to an existing running os after first boot).

I'll just check that doing a device reset (i.e. through 'Backup & Reset') works and allows users to do the setup wizard if they want to and then edit or remove my instructions as appropriate.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farran:
Ah I see what you mean. I didn't understand immediately either, but I was playing around with it earlier and realised what it would probably do.

It's annoying because (I think) it means you won't get the Google Setup Wizard that way, which is really damn slick now. Your method is a little more complex, but should boot into the Wizard (right?).

I suppose to make it simpler, pabx could make the boot-up installer look on the external sdcard, that way it wouldn't get wiped when flashing userdata.img (assuming that the external sdcard is mounted that early in the boot process..? It's probably not).

Yeah I'd imagine a Backup should do the entire system partition, would should include the gapps, and then on restore and flashing userdata.img you'd have a fresh boot-up experience and get the Google Wizard.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vo4LG:
If you do a factory reset through settings then you get the setup wizard (after putting on the gapps .tgz and rebooting). I had previously had problems where my device didn't boot after a factory reset using an LP rom, but it looks like they must have been fixed.

The setup wizard is super-slick: especially transferring accounts between devices using NFC.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farran:
Ohhhh, I forgot about that. I've never done a factory reset from there before, only ever wiped things using fastboot or recovery! (Tbh I've never trusted the built-in reset to work, because it did almost nothing on my Atrix 4G running Gingerbread :p)

Yeah, that would work, of course. Glad it didn't break for you this time :)

(You'll probably find that previously the factory reset told the system to encrypt the new userspace or something, except encryption wasn't working.)

I don't have any other phones with NFC :(

I LOVE the screen where you can choose which apps to re-install from your previous device. (Although that process did break for me because Play Store crashed halfway through, and it must have lost the list of apps I asked to be installed.)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
which sd card are you referring to? internal SDCARD or external SDCARD (removable)?

dont put anything files in the internal SDCARD, put it in your external SDCARD. If anyone is experiencing any wipe on their external SDCARD just remove the it before the fastboot process, then insert it back in after you fastboot flash userdata, then fastboot reboot it, enter recovery and then flash gapps ...

i used the gapps from here https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/gapps?dl=gapps-lp-20141107-signed.zip
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vo4LG:
I imagine what you're talking about is the instructions for pabx's build to put gapps on the sdcard after flashing system.img.

Basically, you should flash boot.img, system.img and userdata.img (UNLESS you are coming from his previous LP build, I imagine), *then* boot up, and once booted push the gapps file to the root of the sdcard, and then reboot. The gapps will be installed as part of that process.

If you want to run the Setup Wizard, you can do a 'reset' from the settings menu of the phone after applying gapps using the process above, and the next time the phone starts it will run the wizard.

(I initially interpreted the instructions the same way as you, but [MENTION=4537682]farran[/MENTION] set me straight)
