[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
So the screen wakeup remain the main issu if I'm right..
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Yes. And I don't know how to fix at the moment :(

It's a lot of try and error.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
Silly question alert :) but is there a way of getting this as a secondary rom in multirom at all?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
This question isn't that silly. :p

I also thought about that already. In the system.img form it's not possible. But it should be possible to package the things up in a flashable zip.

Then it could work. I will try it today. I don't get further with the not working features. So I try this.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
U can run make otapackage..it will be the new aosp zip file..the zip will work fine in twrp..or if u want a regular zip..we can edit a -- block flag..in build/core/make
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
Excellent thanks; any chance you could share your local manifest to successfully build, as I am having issues building CM12 and a working manifest may help my noob progress :)

Cheers
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
The manifest is linked in the OP. But it's an aosp tree. Don't think it works like that on cm.

Btw it's a good idea to look at similar devices sources like yuga. That helped me a lot.

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
Oh my mistake, sorry about that.

Ok right yes, xperia Z is similar to the tablet Z I believe.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] skiwong20:
There are alot of sony qcom commits nd other fusion3-common commits u will need from gerrit. to try to build the pollux or pollux_windy with cm12 source
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
Ok thanks, will take far more reading from here then.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
Thanks.

Would be great to try the zip at some stage, but I guess having just built and booted my first oneplus rom, I am a real noob at this :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] VR2012:
Congrats to dev, I like this release.

Nothing to be said that already hasn't
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lilstevie:
Flashed last night, met the black screen of death this morning.

Did a little bit of digging around in the logs and found the problem is for some reason the display is being sent the signal to turn off rater than wake up. If you have a computer that is authorised for adb near by you can kick it out with the following:

su
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/lcd-backlight/bl_power
echo 127 > /sys/class/backlight/lcd-backlight/brightness

The 127 can be technically any value between 0 and 255, I picked a value that is approx half brightness just for ease. Will continue investigating to see where the issue is coming from.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Oh great. I think that info can help me a lot. I have a little idea now where the failure sits. I will try a new build when I get home from University.

Thank you so much. [emoji1]

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
I fixed screen brightness control now.

Hope black screen of death is fixed, too, but I'm not sure yet. At least it wasn't there for half an hour.

pollux build is currently uploading.

pollux windy is still compiling. This will take a while.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
Do you have any plan to create a flashable zip so that we can try it as secondary ROM with multiROM?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
I would do if I would know how to. ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
The pollux_windy build is done, too.

It's uploading but should be there in a few minutes.

The black screen of death did not appear anymore since I use alpha3, so I guess it's fixed.

Have fun

PS. If there is someone who can explain me how to make a flashable zip of this that would be great.

"make otapackage" doesn't work because sony devices have no recovery partition. I also tried editing the make file to disable recovery check but the build failed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
great news! i just got done flashing alpha1 or 2 (not sure anymore) thinking it was the latest one lol thank you for your hard work it is much appreciated. as soon as alpha 3 is uploaded i will flash that too and see how things go.

My EXT SD isn't being recognised at all i think its exFat format since i came from sony fw, what's the best format for this version?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
My card is simply fat32 formatted and works fine.

Upload is done.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Mxr1:
alpha3 settings menu

Is it just me, or is the settings menu not working in alpha3 ? (Pollux_windy)

Btw good work :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Mattycee:
Yep same here, Settings are missing completely, cannot even access it via the drop down menu. Anyone have settings on the Windy version?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
OK. That was strange... I mounted the image and the Settings.apk was empty. I rebuilt the rom and now it seems fine.

Sould be online in a few minutes.

Thanks for pointing that out.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
no settings on pollux windy either, tried quick settings pull down and theres no settings app in the app drawer does that mean the apk is missing?

edit: lol ok never mind then, thanks Pollonamid!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Upload is done. Please tell me if it works :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
we have settings! :) thank you sir!

edit: im having trouble getting root permissions through es file explorer, i flashed superSU2.16.zip in recovery. when i try to activate root explorer it says es file explorer has been granted super user permissions but then it says the test failed and cannot run on this device. :confused:

edit2: after some googling i found a patched zip that fixes the root issue with es file explorer.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Yeah. It needs a new rooting method for lollipop. The new supersu zip is also linked in the main post.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
sorry i didn't realise there was an even newer version of superSU thanks.

I've just finished re-formatting my sdcard and copying everything back on to it now that its fat32 but its still not being recognised. its a Sandisk SDXC 64gb :(

edit: it is however able to mount external sdcard in CWM.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Hmm. How did you reformat it? On pc? Could you try formatting it from Android itself? Settings - > storage - > erase SD card.

I have a 64gb card in my phone but am not able to backup now. Could try it today in the evening.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
Yes I formatted it on the PC thank you I just tried erasing it from my tablet and it picked it up straight away so gonna copy everything back over and make sure its still working
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
I'm testing alpha 3.1 on pollux Windy... Great work!!

One little bug: on the system bar I can see the 3g signal icon (that is obiovsly empty).
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Mattycee:
Excellent work, I am having no issues at all now.

I really appreciate the quick work and speed of this roms development.

Not rushing you or anything as I am more than happy with its current build but did you have an ETA on the rectification of bugs as listed?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Nice to hear that.

No I don't know how long it takes. I always try some things out, compile and test. Compiling takes like forever. The worst part is most of the time I don't know what I'm doing. :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Mattycee:
By virtue of the fact im using Lollipop on my Tablet Z, i think you know alot more than most people. Either way im very gratful for the hardwork you've put in and for the slick rom.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Could this be used as a daily runner allready? Fro what i read there is incredible progress!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
I use it as daily driver now. For me it is usable enough. Just look at the not working list and decide your self.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
Just flashed v3.1 and it works flawlessly (y)

Now I can use this as daily driver (y) (y) (y)

Thanks a lot for the bugs fix :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
I'm on pollux windy (only wifi) and looks like mobile network draining battery even if it shouldn't be present.

On the status bar I've the mobile signal icon.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
Just turn on Airplane mode :)

Note: when airplane mode is on, Wifi will be turned off. But it's ok, just turn Wifi on again :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
It's on my TODO now. Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] GretaLewd:
Thanks

[MENTION=5939791]pollonamid[/MENTION],

Installed this last night, so only had brief time to play with it - install went well, most basic functions working fine (gmail, wi-fi - even tap-to-wake ! :) ).

One small issue (that is a problem with most non Sony pollux_windy ROMs) : GPS is not working (as far as I can tell).

Not a great problem for me as my Tab-Z stays at home most of the time.

Thank you for giving us an advance try of 5.0 on our Tablet-Zs . Great work :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Since there is no way to install this over cwm yet: Does it wipe everything everytime you flash a new version?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
No. You just have to reinstall gapps.

Also, I hope I can release a flashable zip today. I found a way to generate the zip file. It didn't work together with multirom for me, though.

But before that I want to fix a few things.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Cool i will wait for that release then. I don't care for multirom.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
Damn and drat :) it didn't work with multirom :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
I was able to use lollipop as secondary rom on my Oneplus one but I need to use multirom v30.

If I'm right we have only multirom v29 on xtz tablet
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobydu:
That's a very good point lupick, as I have a oneplus too and do recall issues around lollipop getting resolved with updates.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Ah. Ok. Will then try to build v30 for tablet z later.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Jumped the gun and flashed via fastboot - getting a bootloop though.

Is there a way to do a thorrough wipe through fastboot or adb?

Pollux windy btw. It only boots into recovery asking me to fix root - then goes back into bootloop.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
What kind of bootloop? Do you see the boot animation? Did you wipe the data partition in recovery? Via fastball you can fastboot erase or fastboot format but that will most likely erase the internal SD card as well.

And if you have the chance to, please send me a log from bootloop with "adb logcat"

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
It reboots to the android with the working blue ball. It does that for about 3 seconds then recovery aks if i wanna fix root. I can say yes, no or go back but all three lead to the same cycle.

ADB doesn't list the device so no logcat. Fastboot does list my device though.

Edit: Recovery shows: Warning: No file_contexts

Formatting /data!

Error mounting /data!

Skipping format...

I do get into regular CWM if i am quick enough though. I could flash a zip. I can also to a factory wipe there but that didn't help either.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Did you flash system.img, too?

Sounds like you only Flashed boot.img

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Yeah. It failed at first. Changed the cable and it worked. Flashed it a couple times now. Did wipes via fastboot and/or recovery before too.

Just formated everything in CWM again and mounted the folders. That fixes problem!

Something messed the mounting of the folders up apparently.

Probably the first cable wich seems to be defective. Shoulda known - it was dodgy for a while :laugh:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Now, that's really strange. Please try one last thing. Disconnect your device from USB and hold the two volume buttons and power button until the device reboots. Than release.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Fixed it while you replied (see above in edit) - lillipop boots just fine now. Sideloading gapps now.

Sorry for wasting your time.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
No problem at all. Currently just waiting for the new build to finish.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
That's great. I allready love 5.0! This site scrolls smooth as butter now. It did not with kitkat!

I hope you keep at it. Your rom gives the tablet z new life!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Mortify1:
Can someone make a zip file for this?

My usb connection is not reliable and I have to charge using the dock connections
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Please read the thread. I am currently compiling a zip release. But that takes like forever with my pc. But I will do as fast as possible.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rox598:
Can I ask if this new build has any fixes? haven't flashed the rom yet but want to.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
The new build will have twrp and the data icon on windy should be gone. Had no time for more.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Sorry guys. The new build don't boots. :(

So no zip for now. I will be away at weekend so you will have to wait.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] `SBR`:
May be you can have a look at the post... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57099676 .. it's also related to zip file creation for cm12

Don't know it's useful or not. ..
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Thanks for that. This could solve the problem with multirom while I think that multirom supports block images since v30. But my current problem is simply a not booting kernel.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Would it be much work to release the cellular standby fix for the windy as a normal fastboot img?

Even in airplane mode it does use power.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Yeah OK. Will upload it.

btw. I don't think it really uses power. It's just shown there. How should non-existent hardware use battery? :D
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
:D Maybe moist of the hardware is in place but only antenna is missing? I'm experience a impressive battery drain; 50% od battery remaining with 1h SOT. Mot of tat looks like is due to the cellular issue...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
True that but a process bugging out could cause powerdraw no?

The tablet is getting quite hot too btw so something draws a lot of power.

Maybe it is so quick because it runs on max clock all the time?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Could someone test this out with a tool like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuid.cpu_z ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Looks like upload is done. Can't guarantee cause I'm not home anymore. Someone wanna test whether uploaded file is complete? File size looks good. ;D

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
just downloaded system.img for alpha 3.2 will let you know how things go, just optimising apps now.

edit: loaded fine, had some google play services issues but then realised i forgot to flash Gapps so it works with no errors now.

Mobile data icon is gone too, but i've been meaning to ask what is the star in the notification tray all about? Also it cleared my home screen icons not sure if thats coz i loaded without the gapps first time round or what but no big deal.

Google chrome keeps crashing when i try to use it too.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Great. The star has something to do with the new notification profiles you can choose in the volume menu. (Don't know how they are called in english)

If you use Google now launcher it's cause you booted without it installed.

Don't know why chrome is crashing. Did you try clearing chromes data? Don't have this problem.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
Yeh no worries just omw to work so more testing is needed I'll try clearing the data and see if it starts working, otherwise thank you for this great ROM sir!

P.s. Yeah I did have google now launcher, I figured that was the case thx.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
On it. Playing around with the cpu governor settings now.

Cpu z clocks the cores down, does not stop them though. My oneplus stops them completely. I don't know if the s4 snapdragon allows this by hardware though.

Edit: Set governor to interactive and the power saving bias to 24% and it wont run hot anymore.

Edit2: found an issue: one core allways runs max clock!

Yep that is the problem. One core allways runs maxed out!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
I confirm the cpu issue.. One clock always run at max clock.

On the oneplus the others core are stopped, here they remains at minimum speed.

Another issue on alpha 3.2 on windy. I cannot find anymore the Sony settings menu where I can find the cpu setting and the double tap to wake setting!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
OK. That's an issue. In theory unused cores should turn off. It's a kernel issue.

Gesendet von meinem C6903
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
You are right, considering also that one core run always at max speed... this is the main issue I've noticed, great work!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] joshuagtgym:
Lollipop On XTZ

This is awesome! I kinda want to say that I love you!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:
Ambient display looks like it's a little bit buggy on pollux windy alpha 3.1
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Any progress on the kernel issue? It sucks the battery dry in no time like this.

Anything we can test to help? Sadly i have no idea how to modify roms or the kernel.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Sorry, I don't have the time atm. I have exams the next week. After that. So, next weekend I have time again.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
That is good to hear. I hope you find the issue. With battery use in check this rom would be a good daily runner.

Good luck with your exams!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] BestBrd:
I'm on stock xperia z tablet..what i have to do to flash this ROM?? Unlock bootloader and then flash via adb the .IMG files??
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Shanliang-:
That's right. Just follow the flashing steps provided in the OP and you should be fine.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
Any news on the kernel issue? It's sucking my battery dry badly. I have to switch back to a KK rom. :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rox598:
Tbh i think the video's not working (most of them) and only one speaker working is more of an issue but that;s me.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
I had no trouble with videos. Youtube worked better than with any other rom - expecially embedded ones on websites. Netflix works perfectly fine too.

The speaker thing is quite an issue too.

It would eb nice if we had some of the maintainers of the big name ROMs would pick this ROM up. It only has a few issues that need ironing out to be viable.

The OP did a good job but it seems like he is doing this on his own and lacks the time.

OP please don't take this the wrong way. You are a student and have other obligations wich is perfectly understandable.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] neuteboomt:
I too have been able to watch video on YouTube, Plex, Netflix, and other services. I overcame the one speaker with a set of headphones. The speakers never were load enough for me on the stock rom.

OP, great job cooking this rom for us!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rootk1t:
on stock ROM, there are mods which can significantly increase speaker loudness.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lyubor:
I can't seem to get it to boot, gets stuck on the boot animation so I'm thinking the system image isn't booting.

I'm on pollux windy trying alpha 3.2.

Do the earlier builds boot?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] gqman69:
Weird, I'm on alpha 3.2 and it's all good.

Did you wipe data?

I did a complete wipe before flashing. I was on stock 4.4.4.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] halomademeapc:
Hello all!

I just got my xtz the other day and am excited as the development community here seems much more lively than those of past tablets (xoom is ancient and the memopad fhd virtually didn't have one).

Is development on this rom still going on?

Edit: is it just me or is screen rotation not working on 3.2?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] halomademeapc:
I'm trying out the CPU profiles on room toolbox to limit the max clock while the screen is off to circumvent the power drain issue. I'll post back in a couple days with results.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] HeadFox:
Start to work

Hello everyone !

Don't know if many people know be but I was the official maintainer of paranoid saberdroid by aospal team maintainer. I was off since few month now but I am here again and want to work on this AOSP Rom and maybe. Support tablet z with the new D.I.S.C.O project.. (link to the n5 rom: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-project-d-s-c-o-1-0-hammerhead-t2971279)

I send a message to the maintainer of this rom hope we will can work together on this AOSP rom :)

I love my Tablet z ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Good to see you again HeadFox.

This is not a very crowded place bur there are many nice people that want to support and enjoy TabZ.

Personally I would be glad to help.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jequan:
That is good to hear. This is the 1st rom with working sound so far. Fix the cpu clock (working onthe other roms) and it is a good base to work from.

I would love to test and provide feedback.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
Even thought the Tab Z is kinda old, I still love it too!

It's my favorite Android device, so I hope you can keep development going for our old friend ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Happy New Year!

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pollonamid:
Love it, too.

I'm really interested in this, too, so I will continue. There were a few problems the last month with my pc and missing time but now everything should work again. The rom is compiling.

I just compiled with updated sources, but chances are great that the cpu issue is fixed.

I will report back when my tablet is backed up and flashed.

And happy new year :)
