[ROM] [JSS15Q] Dreams - Version 0.3 [BLE] (HALO) -- Pollux (SGP321)

[Carlos_Manuel]

- This ROM has Estonian language support with AOSP and my translations
- Only based of CyanogenMod, but my built, mods and much more..

Since there is no frame generator with Xperia Tablet Z frames, I had to use Motorola Xoom frame arts. Thanks to Google for those device arts..

Donations are appreciated! If you donated to me then Thank You a ton!


Thanks to MBQ_ for giving me a free space on his awesome FTP server: He's account is currently disabled.

MBQ_:
I'd greatly appreciate it. If I can get a monthly donation income of at least 8$ USD a month, I can link it to my PayPal, so no money has to come out of my pocket. If I can get a significantly larger income of 8$ USD a month, that could open up opportunities for dedicated servers, or improvements throughout the site including things like: Better download speeds, more FTP users, etc.

Thanks to:
Google
The CyanogenMod Project
MBQ_ for helping me when I need help with some things and thanks for giving me a free space on his awesome FTP server..
DJLamontagneIII for helping me to build with another toolchain, and for helping me when I needed help.
Trailblazerz11 for his awesome Commits for building with Linaro toolchain, and for helping me!
ParanoidAndroid devs, Der-Schubi and cristianomatos for the HALO!

How to flash this ROM:

Ok, so my notebook didn't have enough memory to build a .zip file for Recovery, so you have to flash this ROM through Recovery (E.g. CWM)

How to get the recovery (way too easy):
Flash boot.img through fastboot:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

Reboot Xperia Tablet Z: (AT THE SAME TIME WHEN YOUR XPERIA TABLET Z IS REBOOTING, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE CM Avatar with Free Xperia logo and then press 'Volume +' button 2-5 times until you see purple LED light)

fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

If you did something wrong and your Xperia Tablet Z's screen is blank and on then press power button and volume buttons at the same time until the screen turns off and then try to enter into recovery again!

Make a backup of your Current Firmware / ROM and when backup is done then wipe data factory reset or wipe cache and dalvik cache, then from the advanced menu choose power off..

Plug USB cable to your tablet and at the same time press and hold power + button!
Now flash boot.img again and then system.img:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce flash system system.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

Done.. Remember to flash the Gapps.

CM10.2 is using built-in NFC for Xperia Tablet Z and that's why NFC is not working currently

[Carlos_Manuel]

Ok, so this Xperia tablet Z's xda forum is too quiet.. Anyway... New version 0.3 is now available!

Latest CM changes
More audio files (ringtone, alarm, notification)

Still NFC isn't working because it's using built-in NFC firmware and I don't know the right vendor files to fix NFC for Xperia Tablet Z
FM Radio may not work (App force closes)
All other things seems to be working very well, including GPS

This ROM looks very good, but I only own the SGP311. Would love to test it on my device. Is there really no chance for a version with SGP311 support?

The problem is that my notebook only have 1 GB free memory and when I build ROMs then my notebook doesn't have enough memory for building the .zip files so terminal gives errors.

I have made this ROM for Galaxy Nexus Maguro and Toro and those uses the same kernel. If The Xperia tablet Z WiFi variant uses the same kernel as SGP321 then I may build this for SGP311 because the device repositories takes only something 500 kb - 15 Mb but kernel takes usually more than 400 MB...

If The Xperia tablet Z WiFi variant uses the same kernel as SGP321

as if i'm not mistaken the kernels are different so as firmwares.
