Ok, NO-ONE know how to fix my problem with infinite boot animation loop.

I suspect that there is a bug in pad.prop file and I want to reset it manually. I need to access the root of my phone but the PA 2.54 can not start.

Is there anybody who know how to do that ?

Hi guys,

A longtime PA user here, I have always been happy with my old release (1.5) but it's time to update, the JB notifications looks sweet.

I have a questions about the instruction:

RECOVERY: FACTORY RESET IF YOU WERE USING ANOTHER ROM!

RECOVERY: Install Rom: Download

RECOVERY: Install Gapps, ALWAYS-EVEN FOR UPDATES: Download (find the latest one that carries the "jb" tag)

RECOVERY: Wipe Cache Partition

RECOVERY: Wipe Dalvik Cache

Reboot and enjoy

Do I need to do a factory reset with PA 1.5? If not, is it still adviced to do so anyway?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work,

AndroidSjonnie

1.5 to 2.54 is a huge leap, especially from ICS to JB. It's recommended to do a full wipe :)

"Need" .. no, it's like this small bolt on the wheel of your car... it seems dead, do you need to change it, is it mandatory ? Depends if you want to have a bad surprise at the next turn... :)

What i mean is that reseting will save you a lot of potential headache ... so yes it is mandatory.. :) 95% sure that you will save time at the end.

Correctly using TitaniumBackup will also save you a lot of time, it took me less than 10 minutes after a new flash to reinstall all of my apps, keeping their original settings. (sms/mms, wifi pwd, bluetooth pwd)

I'm suggesting flashing SIYAH 5.0.1 (tar file) with ODIN. That could do the trick... :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yottaFLOPPS:
I experienced the same problem and every details you gave in your description, Ii somehow solved the issue by reflashing the ROM, at first, flashing a new kernel, Syah or Dori didn't work. It happened as you said when I turned BT on, uprgade to 2.54 didn't work, same thing with restarting phone and boot loop animation.

Is there any way we can backup paranoid settings and restore them after flashing a new version? Properties.conf file is deleted each time I wipe data before upgrading. One of the reasons I love this ROM is coz of the tablet mode and per-app DPI settings. But resetting it each time I upgrade to a newer version is a bit of a pain.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
Yes!!! Go to system/etc /paranoid then copy proporties.conf and save it anywhere you want thwn after full wipe just paste it then then set permission to 644 then restore it to pa settings..thats all:)

Diagnosis over 4.2:

Is awesome

TabUI was disabled by google. Files and stuff is still there though

This is probably the worst looking (frameworks code standpoint) version of android since honeycomb. A lot of stubs, incomplete code, things to resolve. Even like that, it has proven to be pretty cool

Nexus OTA had a few lags that I never saw on 4.1. Bad one

Android said "no multiuser for phones".I don't eat that yet... :')

Is awesome

Settings > Development settings, are now hidden, there's a tutorial all over the web on how to unlock it. I keep thinking google engineers are well. Very funny.

Disabling haptic feedback over settings > sound, disables lockscreen haptic feedback. Cool, aint it?

I love screensavers and lockscreen stuff

Quicksettings aint toggles. Yet they're awesome, and well, we can add some makeup.

You can now unlock like on honeycomb (any direction)

For all those guys who said they didn't like that the app you were in, was showed on recents button (including me, but then I changed my mind after I figured out its usage). Bad luck, seems google liked Paul's idea (they added a really smooth animation to it though, great play google guys :D)

Did I say it was awesome?

No ETAs -.-

So, I think CM may not have such a big problems to bring 4.2 to S2. You could see a new build in a few weeks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ismani:

I had problems with stock kernel and per app slider

In previous PA versions. Solved this when installing other kernel (dorimanx).

And about battery. I have a drain sinds 2.22 when using to phone.

Sleep is 1% per night (arround 9 hours), but when i use the phone ( listen music + web browsing) it drains in 30 minutes arround 23 %. Wass much less in previous version.

I did a format and full wipe 2 weeks ago. Phone runs smoother but battery the same.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Honusnap:
In the first uses there is often an important activity from the media scanner... that can (in my case eat as much as 15% in just one hour), i got an external SD and a pretty good number of pictures / audios files. In standby mode a drain of 1% per hour is considered "normal". (standby not airplane) ..

For people that do not stop resetting their battery stats, this db contain datas that will makes your battery status more and more precise, resetting it just makes things worse. (starting stats from 0)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] o0boiboi0o:
For the slider issue, try press and hold for awhile before sliding. Dont press and slide immediately. =D

Is there any way to change this?

This is the default settings for the ROM. It is how Dark sets it up. You can change all the settings for any app in Paranoid Prefs. Find the app you want yo change and set 240 DPI and 360 PX.

Or if you want all your apps the same use interface. However the individual app settings will over ride the interface setting.

So, guys, I just took a break from S2 to test new 4.1 rom [I must say THIS time, I liked touchwiz, is still ugly, but is very functional (wich doesn't means I will add those features to CM PA, FORGET IT!! :D)]. I think with Samsung's release of 4.1, further development from part of CyanogenMod team (4.2) would be easier. That's what I hope atleast, we depend all on them. For PA side, we're continuing the development of AOSP 4.2, but as soon as CM releases a 4.2 rom for S2, I will be building with our stuff on top :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JokerAce:
You have to try to disable some things

1.Wifi/3G data when you are not using

2. Disable location settings under "System settings>Location Access>Access to my location>OFF"

Or you can try something to test the battery out.

1. Nandroid backup current ROM

2. Wipe/format and flash latest PA

3. Reboot

4. Leave phone alone overnight from battery level of 100%.

If the battery still drops any greater than 10% overnight, the battery needs a change.

Just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d3l1:
Big drainers in my case were FB app and Google Maps. Both somehow reset there update settings after restoring them with TB. Maps was constantly determining my location and FB was constantly syncing, so was Google.

You really should take a look at your settings and apps, the fault doesn't lie within the ROM, it's a user created problem. To find out what's the culprit, get an app like BetterBatteryStats to check what's draining your battery, also maybe change the modem because network loss is either the operators fault or the modems fault, but has nothing to do with the ROM.
