Hi ! I have a couple of questions !

1. Which Android version runs on pac lollipop?

2. What is the difference between the LX rom and the Pacrom?

3. The installation steps are the same as the LX's ? (eg. need the ext4/f2fs partition, system formating tool, etc.)

4. Which Gapps you use for Pacrom ?

Thanks in advance.

Is it enough to partition the SD card, place the ROM in SD card and flash? or

After partitioning Link2SD has to be used as mentioned in the tutorial?
[Xperia Arc General] dwellexity:
There is no need to use Link2sd or any such app. The rom automatically uses the second partition on the SD card as /data partition. make sure your both partitons are primary. You can use minitool partition wizard for this purpose. It's simple to use and gets the job done.

Answer..:))

1) android 5.0.2(more stable than Mardon`s)

2)As the name says..PAC is a combination between Paranoid,AOKP and CyanogenMod...it has more feauters..Don`t really know the gerrit differences but is smooth as lollipop showld be..

3)Yes they are the same

4)Ok PA Gapps was closed but you can still search for them...They were very good...not ****ty basketbuild ones...

[Xperia Arc General] DemonicHawk:
Just some thoughts/comments on this ROM after using it for about a week now as a daily driver on my Arc...

General Thoughts:

-AOSP 5.1 feels way more stable and smooth compared to CM12; not sure if it'll change when CM12.1 comes out.

-It been mentioned a lot of times, but not just any class 10 SD card will work. I had a 64gb lexar class 10 which was fine with Link2SD on CM11 (I linked everything except data), but on AOSP 5.1 or CM12 it was horrible. Switching to a 64gb Samsung EVO made things much better.

-Compared to CM11 with Link2SD (linking everything except data), the load times are just a tad bit slower, but nothing unreasonable.

-Multitasking is definitely not as good as CM11 with Link2SD - especially listening to music while browsing

-"Browser" is absolutely horrible.. it's laggy and slow. I hate installing Chrome, but its definitely better than the default browser. This is a shame since the browser in CM11 was much better than in lollipop.

-Dialer works fine, I haven't had any issues with it, but it does feel a bit slow when I try to hang up or answer a call.

-RAM usage feels higher at times compared to CM11... not sure if its related to the memory leak bugs everyone talks about

-Battery is about the same as CM11, battery use might be a bit higher for screen on, but screen off is identical

And some bugs I've found:

-Swiping on the AOSP keyboard doesn't seem to work (yes it was enabled), installing the Google Keyboard "fixes" this, but I feel like the Google keyboard is more bloated than the AOSP keyboard so I wish I didn't have to do this

-Home and Menu button to wake the phone will actually wake the phone AND go home/open the menu - pretty annoying.. seems like a debounce problem but the back button is surprisingly fine

-Text Messaging popup overlay for replying to messages is cut off, I don't know how to explain it, but it looks like the wrong image sizes were used or something

-Not sure if intentional, but the signal display doesn't show H+ anymore, it just stays on 3G forever.

-AOSP email app has a service that's constantly running now: EmailSyncAdapterService if you're using an outlook/hotmail account and even if you don't use push email - it wasn't like this in CM11. Force closing the service just makes it start again when its time to sync.

If you're on CM11 and you aren't particularly interested in all the material design stuff, then you're probably better off staying on CM11 for now. AOSP isn't bad, but I don't really see too much benefit over CM11

my xperia ray reboots regularly like 4 to 5 times in a day. there is no loss of data. i am trying this ROM since last week. but once it rebooted and i lost everything.

other problem is many times first call after reboot is not audible. Means there is no sound of other sides. but then it works after i call back or for second call. i am using 2gb ext4 partition but with class 6. its slow. is this a reason for the above problem too?

Guys i am a newbie in this and i want to ask you, if i root my phone it will work for my service provider? Do i need any files relevant to my communication network in order for the rooted phone to work later?

Does any of the greek members here know if there is any post with greek to help me because i have tried various times to flash my phone and i couldnt make it yet.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
Rooting does not have influence on the communication, so there is nothing to worry about:)
[Xperia Arc General] AggelosCyp:
Thanks, i was trying some days ago to flash my phone and there were various selections for different providers so i got confused.

I tried to flash my LT18 sometimes unsuccesfully, i am stuck at the procces when the green light should go blue and i need somebody experienced to help me.
[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
Maybe there was firmwares with bloat apps from providers :p

Probably you didn't unlock bootloader:p
[Xperia Arc General] AggelosCyp:
Yeap you were right, now i have correctly unlocked it.

what should i flash now?
[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
If you are on android 2.3, you need to flash the latest stock 4.0.4 .ftf firmware for your device, OR just update it to ics with pc companion :p Then you can install any rom you want :P Of course, root is needed :)
[Xperia Arc General] AggelosCyp:
I am already on stock 4.04. I have also downloaded the folder cm11 nightly and cm12 from legacy xperia. Now do i flash the file boot.img from the folder or should i have to do anything with kernel?
[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
Just flash it, and install rom :good:
[Xperia Arc General] AggelosCyp:
I have flashed LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel, next i have to flash the boot.img? should i copy any files to SD card?
[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
Yes, copy zip package with rom you downloaded, and then flash boot.img extracted from it :P Then, boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache partition, and dalvik cache, and install zip with rom:p
[Xperia Arc General] AggelosCyp:
I didnt copied the zip to card, i flashed the boot.img and now i am stuck to a black screen with only Legacy Xperia :(
[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
Remove sd card from phone, plug to your pc with adapter, and copy zip file, then you can boot recovery and install rom :P Or if you don't have an adapter, flash stock ics kernel/ or firmware ftf, and then phone should boot with stock ics, then copy zip, flash extracted boot.img, etc.

[Xperia Arc General] sknerus75:
1. Did you flashed cm12 kernel? - if no, flash it :p

2. Have you edited the zip? (removing/adding files/changing anything [excluding exstraction of boot.img])

If yes , then download again. The new cyanogenmod recovery does not flash unsigned zip, and editing the zip breaks signing :v

If no, download, and copy on sdcard this -->click, go to recovery, flash it, and then do wipes, and try to install rom :p If still don't works, so there's probably something wrong with this partition, but you can still install cm11 back :p
[Xperia Arc General] AggelosCyp:
i tried to flash cm 12 as you said without changing anything, took very much time on start icon and didnt work so i went back to cm 11, i will make another try tmr make another ext4 partition, format it and flash it.

[Xperia Arc General] borus87:
OK so I've installed the rom on class 6 - just had one laying around - and it works... fine I guess. So I've decided to get a class 10 UHS-1 to get the "full experience" on it. When installing it on class6 I followed a tutorial which said to create several partitions:

FAT32 for normal data

ext4 sd-system ~700mb

ext4 sd-data ~1gb

ext4 sd-cache ~300mb

And as it turned out it worked. Now I've read more about it - since I'm getting a new card for it I want to do it properly - and in many cases other tuts says just to create one FAT32 for data and one ext4. Sometimes also linux swap partition is mentioned. So my first question is which setup would be best (for performance)?

fat32 + ext4

fat32 + ext4 + swap

or the crazy setup I've done on the class6 (fat32 + 3*ext4)

Second question: Does size matters? :o Will bigger ext4 give a performance hit? Cuz' in every tut/post I see people say 2gig max. I'm not keeping many things (music/images etc) on my phone anyway, but always run out of space for apps so if I can get as big internal storage as I can for apps that would be ideal for me, but on the other hand I don't want to do that for the cost of performance.

Also one more question. The phone I'm doing it on is Xperia Arc S LT18i. I've used the Anzu version of rom for it. That's right right?
[Xperia Arc General] Orestisns:
Well, today I installed the latest build on my smultron. I used 16gb Samsung pro sd card with 2 partition. 7gb fat32 and 8 gb f2fs. The speed is good at me and the phone is working too smooth. No lags at all. It takes a lot of time to install an app and this is logic. Found a bug while using the calendar. It ask me ever time to add an account. In addition I cannot install Facebook app. I don't know if is this a problem of the rom or of the app file. I had the same problem during the previous builds.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

You don't need partition for swap. Just make two partitions as mike said.

You need at least 2gb on ext4 partition in order to make it work correctly. If you want more space for your apps you can increase it as much as you want.
