Hey guys, I've just made what i personally would call an awesome discovery. When your phone locks up, press the volume down for one second, keep pressing volume plus power button for six seconds. This will reboot the phone if it is frozen (sleep of death).

Now, if you're thinking of trying this out right now, and your phone is running normally, you will have to do the above steps twice. The first time your phone will freeze. The second time it will reboot (you might have to hold down the power button longer the second time).

I did not want to create a new thread just for this, so I hope the word spreads out. Also, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can look into this and let us know if it is safe to keep doing it.

I don't get the option to apply anyways. It gives me an error message saying that the theme wasn't compiled correctly. I press OK and it doesn't do anything.

The one theme that is working I have to press the apply anyway option and then it'll change. But thats only for one theme.

I just tried to uninstall a few of the themes figuring that was the problem. Each time I try to uninstall I get an error saying that theme chooser is not responding.

Could i install another theme chooser via zip??

Have you gone back to the system theme and rebooted prior to trying to apply new theme? Seems to be the fix and worked for me

I had a lot of problems with the themes. Some did work and some were not. Now they are all working for me. What I did was adjust the paranoid android settings.

Under the workspace tab I have hybrid mode on. Workspace DPI is set at 244, workspace layout is 720px, system default DPI is set at 254, and my user default DPI is set at 320.

Go to user interface and set workspace to tablet mode. Then set system apps and user apps to phablet mode with the DPI suggested above.

Please try and share if this works for you as well. Hope it helps ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
OK got it working!! I applied the stock theme, rebooted and now its working fine with noe issues. I've tried switching between a few themes and its not giving me any error messages!!!

Hey all, I tried searching around but to no avail. I know someone had mentioned it before but my gmail seems to be on the fritz. I can open the gmail app and it will sync and update but when I click on an email to read gmail crashes. I also noted I can send emails without a problem. I emailed myself from gmail and my inbox refreshed and showed the email from myself but when I clicked to open it gmail crashed.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this or what I should do? I'd really appreciate any help

Thanks!

Edit

Found the post. Changed layout to 360 and now works

Theme chooser is working fine. Are you using the ones from the play store?

After you download them from the play store, reboot before selecting them in theme chooser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
just wondering if an anyone had a fix or could confirm this. thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
This explains the only problems with this rom to a T for me. Rom is amazing otherwise. I know it is currently being worked on and we are anxiously waiting the new build with fix. Thank you! I can't believe i dealt with moto blur and touch wiz for all of these years. See below. This comes from a cm10 page to report bugs.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Speak into the bottom microphone during google voice typing use or a/v recording.

2. In call, switch to speaker and ask the other person their experience.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output:

1) The same performance as on stock or older builds (not sure when problem started because I was inconsistent with flashing, but it seems like even early september builds are afflicted). You were able to get good recording volume from a distance, and the same goes for voice recognition.

2) No echo was reported.

Actual:

1) You have to speak directly into the top microphone for any results

2) Since the noise cancellation mic is now used for recording, voice cancellation is broken, so people hear an echo when they speak to you on speaker.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

build 9-19, but this has been reported as early as build 9-4

Additional info: This issue has been reported, but not fully. I believe this bug best describes the actual underlying issue.

Comment 1 by Rpac...@gmail.com, Yesterday (27 hours ago)

I too have this problem and it keeps me from using CM10 as a daily driver. It does get slightly better by using the top microphone. I did some experiments having my wife in another room this bug is repeatable and AFAIK in all builds.

Comment 2 by kbir...@gmail.com, Yesterday (27 hours ago)

It's really not all builds. The first nightly worked flawlessly, unfortunately I made a big leap from 8/26 (or whatever the first non kexec one was) to 9/19 and don't know when it got introduced

Comment 3 by jasonxle...@gmail.com, Yesterday (26 hours ago)

Yeah I am experiencing the same issue also. I have to speak into the top mic to accurately get Google Now and Google Voice Typing to work. Using the camcorder also has very low volume. I can't comment on the echo though. I will do more testing on that however.

Comment 4 by spencers...@gmail.com, Yesterday (26 hours ago)

Same issue here. Currently running 9-19-2012 build.

I have no clue why but for the life of me I cant flash lean kernel or any other custom kernel to either of the last two versions of PA. I get crazy screen flickering on the boot animation and then it just boot loops. I've every possible way I can think to install (format system..., full wipe, redownloaded). Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks.

i used speakerphone today while talking to a friend...depending on how i held the phone made the echo come and go. if I laid the phone down with the speaker facing down, the person on the other end complained of severe echo. now if i faced the screen down and speaker up, the echo was gone. Could somebody else try this and post results? thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ekklesiaillusion:
Excuse me if this idea has been thrown out there already but..as we all know the audio and video recording use the top mic instead of the bottom resulting in poor pick-up..now I know its a long shot but what if speakerphone is activating both microphones and that's why they hear a echo? As droid style said above me when the speaker was down they heard echo, maybe from the top mic right there? And when the screen was down the sound wasn't confined by being laid down on whatever it was. I don't have this problem at all calling anyone so I really have no idea how it is..just throwing the idea out there

Hey guys... I was trying to flash this coming from Jellywiz. I ended up in CWM with an error Status 7 installation aborted.

What did I do wrong and how do I fix this?

Do I have to Odin to stock before coming to PA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imveryemo:
status 7 is usually a bunk download, i've been going between jellywiz, cleanrom, synergy, pa and official cm10 with no problems. did you try redownloading or comparing md5 sum?

So finally i flashed the new rom. and the correct apps. Everything went fine. When the phone rebooted everything looked fine. However I had an R and a blank for the cellphone reception. I tried to make a call and it said mobile network not found.

I panicked and restored my CWM backup, it looks like before with all my info, but I have the same problem and cannot make calls.

I really need to make calls... Not sure what went so wrong.

I'm running KT747-s LG8, though I'm just starting to play with it. So far performance is good, but I'm just charging the battery.

My wifi's been fine, and I've been running it since I flashed the latest version. Maybe it has to do with the kernel?

I"m using stock kernel but will try flashing KT747 and see if that makes a difference. I also rebooted hoping that might fix it but it didn't.

Love this ROM. Haven't noticed much battery issues.

So i'm extremely new to this rom as in JUST NOW. Was wondering if anyone could tell me what they have set or what is the consensus for the ParanoidAndroid Settings? Mine are Hybrid Off is OFF, Stock UI is ON, Phablet UI is ON, Tablet UI (Small) is ON, Tablet UI (Mid) is ON, Tablet UI (Big) is ON. Not sure if that is what is default but that is how mine came installed. Should I have all those other ones on? What is everyone else doing?

Thanks in advance

Look at the op in that thread and follow the instructions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
Well I did but like I just said in my previous post I do not understand them. In the first video he opens up the files, sets the com, hits connect, hits the next button and voila he is done. I can open up the program, set the com to 3 (which is the correct port for my phone) and hit connect and then it gives me an error and crashes.

Now my assumption is since I do not understand this first part, its causing the issue. I do not know where to go to do this, if its on the phone or my computer. I do not know what program to use to accomplish this.

This is why posted that it was not clear to me after reading the directions saying to do this.

"You must enable the diagnostic port on your device. If you are on a TouchWiz based rom follow TouchWiz Diag else follow ASOP Diag.

AOSP Diag

Using adb. or terminal

Execute DiagMode.sh

Echo is still there for for me as well. Disappointing! Solid other than this one issue. Is there still a fix in the works?

Can't options to change the mic gain and microphone volumes be incorporated into this rom?

I beleive that means to download the scripts from the bottom of the post and execute them from either a terminal on phone or through a pc terminal! This is just what I take of it and hope it helps...

Copy scripts to /system/xbin

adb push DiagMode.sh /system/xbin/DiagMode.sh
adb push MTPMode.sh /system/xbin/MTPMode.sh

Change permissions if needed from terminal on pc

adb shell su -c chmod 755 /system/xbin/DiagMode.sh
adb shell su -c chmod 755 /system/xbin/MTPMode.sh

Change permissions if needed from terminal on phone

su
chmod 755 /system/xbin/DiagMode.sh
chmod 755 /system/xbin/MTPMode.sh
exit

From a terminal on a pc!

#To enter DiagMode
adb shell su -c DiagMode.sh

#To return to MTPMode
