About an hour after that post it calmed down. Where I live (Arkansas), you get used to tornadic weather during spring and fall -- at my old place I had a good view of the skyline and would sit outside during thunderstorms and count the tornadoes forming and dropping. I counted 6 one night and all dropped within a 5 mile radius of my place. The worst one I've been is was about 15-16 years ago when we were camping in the deer woods, an F3 dropped down a few miles from camp and tore up the woods and wrecked the camp site with all the wind. We'd have left, but the tornado was in the direction of the only road out.

My funnest tornado was when I was camping on the lake and a waterspout formed around 3am -- We all woke up from the tent tumbling down the road about a quarter mile from camp. After my buddies and I managed to get out we made our way back to camp and watched the storm (we were 10 at the time). The next day we found the tent in some bushes a few miles down the road.

"Slow PC" is my biggest problem. I've started using all the tricks I can find to increase build speed without hurting anything. ccache has helped, not rebuilding the toolkit for every rom helps a lot (why rebuild it if nothing has changed).

Lol, those "needed places" are the biggest annoyance when building roms...I can't tell you how many times a missing pa_mb520 has screwed a build. :silly:

I've even looked at getting a new motherboard that supports 4+Gigs of ram, but I have an older processor (Dual Core Athlon 64 X2 4200+) and its cheaper to get a new processor\motherboard\ram than to get a legacy mboard and more ram that supports my processor (all the mboards I could find that supported my processor were 4gigs max). I looked at upgrading processors and I have the best I can get unless I spend $800 and I'd only get like 200mhz per core faster -- really not worth it considering I could build an uber 8 core amd box for that price.
[Defy Android Development] ice.modding:
mirror? pliz?
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
You sound like a very wild person :cowboy:.... Yh I know what you mean am also looking to upgrade if I can for my school work and also for this :) so far doesn't seem to pricely for the cheap setup am looking for with the AMD FX 6 core or 8 core :D..... Hopefully now I can get the money for it. Yh ram is probably the quickest way for us to increase build time the best would be more core's and at least 4GB ram. I think my bad supports 4GB as well but it's a waste IMO for me as my laptop as some issues anyway....
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
alienware anyone???…or similar specced custom build???……i know its fr gaming but this I think is as much cpu intensive. 8gigs i7 ivy bridge...don't know abt ur budgets but wayyyy over mine from my gaming habits!!!
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I've been looking at the same processors myself :p My current board is 4Gb max, but good 4g ram costs almost the same as 32g of ram for a new processor. Reusing all my current stuff, I could upgrade to an amd 8 core 32gb ram system for about $550-$650.

Custom built is my plan. I know what I want, its a matter of getting the money. Hard to save when you gotta spend it to live.

goo.im not work for you? also, be a little specific -- there's roms for 4 devices, 2 for this thread.

i really don't want to mirror -- I already have a 4 hour upload cycle

Starting new build (PA 2.14)with all the latest changes for the Bravo. I expect it to be done between 11-12pm (4-5 hours from now). If its done before midnight I'll test it for a bit and start the other devices. Upload will be tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll have aroma done by then, but doubtful since I'm tired of looking at my monitor and playing with code for the moment :p.

**//Off to start the compile and play PS3
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
I have 4GB of RAM and 12 GB swap. But during compile, I dont see the RAM usage more than ~2GB so its the cpu cores (and generation too) which are responsible to reduce the compile time, Correct me if I am wrong.

Basically this post is to let you guyz know that I am alive too and enjoying the weekend. :D

@skeevy: my latest cm10 build didn't include superuser.apk in the output ROM, did it also happen with you in PA?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
But I only have 2GB of ram :(. For my cpu socket type, there's only one better processor with very little benefit (+200mhz per core), its really expensive (I could buy an 8 core amd, 32GB ram, motherboard, and graphics card for what it costs), and for my pc, 4GB of compatible ram is the price of a new processor....I'd rather just hold off and buy components as I have the $$$.

Good to know. My weekend sucked. Some siding crew took to long to finish so my job got held back so I didn't make $$$.

It did it with PA as well. PA switched to SuperSU and ships with its own su binary now. You have to manually add it back in. Quarx's commit here does it. You may have to add in /system/su, not sure. I was using Maniac103's from here until the switch. Quarx uses CM's.

I was getting a few build errors last night. fixed most of them, finally compile a build only to find out that my android_system_core commits didn't push and that I lost them on a repo sync :o. I've fixed that and I'm working on merging the milestone2 (and the bravo a bit more) into the jordan-common repo -- it'll be a lot easier for me to manage all the devices from the one repo than have to update jordan-common then do the same thing for milestone2 -- especially since the ms2 has almost the same changes as the Bravo in regards to what the common repo is used for.

Once I get everything squared away I'll start releasing new builds. I'd like to say today or tomorrow, but you know how that goes -- $hit happen$. In the meantime PA updated ParanoidPreferences.apk to 2.14 and its much better than the 2.13 apk. Just delete the old file, add the one attached here to /system/app somehow (adb push, root explorer), reboot, and wipe cache\dalvik.

//gotta love that filter

//why does it filter pm's?
[Defy Android Development] kHron0S:
So you are swiching to SuperSu or are you still keeping Superuser , for me SuperSu works a little better (or its just placebo o.O)
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
switched to SuperSu. works great
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
Could you made an update of paranoid based on latest quarx nightly (720p recording)??

[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
@skeevy: Why does my Defy MB525 using PA 2.13+ shows in the computer as ME525+? Aren't the ME editions related to China? I've been reading that those versions work with a different voltage for, at least, the LED. Should I be scared or keep using it as always? Thanks and sorry for the panic!
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Did it this morning. Everything except aroma and the apn are done. The apn would be added in, but I don't want to fork Quarx's vendor\cm just to maintain 1 apn. I'll just edit it by hand until I find a better option.

Not sure. Its not in any for my git files. This post made me check. Since I don't include kernels, you didn't happen to flash a Chinese kernel by mistake? 2.13 suffered from an accidental I forgot to push a commit before doing a repo sync and compiling issue :silly:. I have to wait on the apk optimization step (10 apps in) and Bravo compile of the day will be done and hopefully it passes Quality Control -- then the build chain starts.

There really wasn't a QC last time -- it booted so I uploaded. With the rom getting 2000+ downloads I'm being a little more slow and careful on what I do for now on. In the past 2 days I've built and flashed 4 different PA roms -- I'd like the 5th to be the last one for a few days so I can switch my focus to the aroma part. :fingers-crossed:

EDIT

Figured I'd come back to add that its working great and the other builds are starting -- Defy's been going for 30 minutes now. To save myself the effort, see the last post of my MS2 PA thread for more details :rolleyes:

Tomorrow I'll try to finish up Aroma if I have the free time. If I get something done I'll upload it as a drag and drop addon for the rom for testers to try out.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Sorry for that long delay. I had some 12 hour days at work this week and I've been too tired to get on my PC and edit the props, add the apns, and patch init.rc. Got off early and finally managed to get it done. They should be up in about an hour a rom, Bravo>Defy>Plus>MS2.

Only real bug I've noticed is one % battery not working -- its 10%, I need to figure out why:confused:

Other than no flash and the cm10 lag:p

Added in those Argentina apns.

Fixed the PAPreferences not working, needed some commands in init.rc (use 2nd-init, I didn't fix 2nd-boot init.rc)

Defy users have the new 720p camera crap (Bravo only has 4:3 aspect ratio for that matter :mad:)

Everyone else just gets the standard cyan, pa, and whatever our devs have done (all as of Monday, noonish), I'm too tired to remember a single one; if you're that interested, look at the test branch of frameworks/base in my repo and then look at the other hundred or so repos for everything else;).

//800th Post
[Defy Android Development] pabloltg:
For 1x1 bat step maybe you can edit the stat_sys_battery

like this
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
dammit man, that was quick :)

I'll try to make that a flashable zip when I get the chance -- I'm exhausted and going to bed soon.

Gotta go post something in another thread now
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
just flash the defy version. Tablet UI doesnt work. Is setted on ParanoidPreference but when i reboot, theres no changes on UI and stay as phone. May be a ParanoidPreference issue?
[Defy Android Development] salimbest83:
My phone really laggy n slow. Fresh Install

Help.

anyone here experience very laggy and slow response throughout the rom.

or is it only me.

defy red. all stock setting

not install any apps yet. just login to my google account and wifi only.

tq
[Defy Android Development] defydent:
Maybe due to the Quarx's version which is the base being kind of laggy... skeevy mentioned a few posts back about CM10 lag. I'll wait to hear from others before flashing this.. :)
[Defy Android Development] salimbest83:
its okay. i just change to cm9 rom.

stil not as fast as the old wiui 2.3 rom

any cm9/10 rom tat good?
[Defy Android Development] Dark Messiah:
Moto ICE gun 1.0 (cm9 based), i'm testing it for a few days now and its super fast and super stable!
[Defy Android Development] @non4:
As others have mentioned use minimal gapps

Sent from Iron man's Jellybean powered suit
[Defy Android Development] venkatp:
Been using since 7 hours. No lag seen yet except slow startup of apps during first use. Lot lot better than previous build. The PA preferences are not getting applied even after reboot. Tried the tablet modes of workspace UI.

@skeevy : Do i need to replace the PA preferences apk that you provided in one of your previous posts? One more thing, saw your post mentioning about addition of quarx's libs related to 720p cam recording. Is it only confined to gb kernel? And is it working if anyone tested?
[Defy Android Development] Fotogravin:
PA-preferences change absolutely nothing. The whole purpose of using PA is to easily change dpi per app and have tablet/phablet mode, isn't it? Bit disappointed, to be honest. Same goes for the PA-preferences apk posted earlier
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
To be honest I don't see you trying to make a rom everyweek for about 4 devices...... If you're so disappointed why don't you go build your own? It's a work in progress some things may not work from time to time.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
HOW TO FIX PAPREFERENCES NOT WORKING

either use adb remount && adb shell or Android Terminal Emulator

su (only needed for Term Emulator, adb remount does it automatically)

chown system:system /etc/paranoid/preferences.conf

chmod 0644 /etc/paranoid/preferences.conf

I added the chown and chmod commands to init.rc, but I guess they didn't work -- I had already done the above and really haven't had the time to test it. 14 hour work days, Dad had part of colon and appendix removed 2 days ago, busy in life, and all that.

As for 720p Defy Camera, I think its only for Bayer\Red Lens but I'm not 100% positive.

What was released last night I've been running for 4 days now. Only real issue is the app load lag. V6 will probably fix it, but read the last paragraph and you'll see why I haven't done it yet. I've only done 20 minutes of any phone tweaking in the past few days, and it was trying out that MS2 custom kernel on the Bravo (no success).

Also, I have 3 PA threads. Check the MS2 forum thread as well since they're pretty active (if you did you'd have had that PA Pref issue solved) -- the Bravo thread is slow so I wouldn't even bother going there (I hardly do and its my own device).

Don't replace the PAPref with the one I uploaded earlier -- it was because the 2.13 PAPref was buggy. 2.14 PAPref works fine, but I've never tried tablet mode since 2.12 so I won't comment on that part or it.

Anyhoo, lots of updates to both CM10 base and PA have been done in past few days. I'ma try and get them picked in tomorrow since I finally have a day off (I kinda miss not working now that I'm so tired :p). No promises or etas for builds and upload time since I have a lot going on at the moment. I think that covers everything.

I'm gonna go rip the Bravo devtree from the sbf and retry that MS2 custom boot now -- I really, really, really hope Quarx, Epsy, and Maniac can do some magic with that. Many kudos and thanks to Czechop.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Thanks for that,

Especially since this is the first build with a completely different frameworks/base based on PA with individual cherry-picks instead of pulling. While there's a few bugs (nothing really critical) I think its much better than the 2.13 release. For me, its pretty much fully usable -- the only time it gets unresponsive is if I'm listening to music, on wifi, an apps installing, and I start swiping the notification tray up and down. There's a bit of lag, maybe a second or two, when loading an app -- V6 should fix it since it did on the last one and the one before that and so on and so forth. If\when I patch mine I'll up it, but hell, since there are few different ways to Supercharge it, feel free to upload you patched services.jar.

//Haters gonna hate :p
[Defy Android Development] Fotogravin:
Don't understand me wrong. Skeevy is absolutely doing a great job. But the PApreferences distinguish this rom from all others. So only the not working part was a disappointment for me.

@skeevy, thanks for posting the solution. Keep up the good work!

Btw, the file is called properties.conf, not prefences.conf. Maybe that's what went wrong? Or just a mistake in this thread? (I'm not able to follow more than 1 thread at a time, due to some healthproblems. Should I stay in this thread or move to the MS2 thread?)
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Am just saying you don't have to sound so negative after all without XDA you wouldn't have any of these roms to try ;) I myself have be disappointed with some roms before but I never complain because I know this is done by the devs and enthusiast like me and skeevy for a hobby or a learning experience. If something is not working then all you need to do is ask if it's working search then if you can't find the answer then ask if anymore else is having the problem someone or skeevy with help you fix the problem we are a community we help each other out.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I typed that fix at the end of very long day so sorry about the bad instructions. Stay in this thread -- I try to keep this one the most up to date. I didn't realize the fix wasn't posted here as well.
[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
@Skeevy I'm about to download 2.14. You think you can list in the OP the apps used in in PA? I think you are using SuperSU instead of Superuser and MiFileManager instead of OI FileManager. Is there any other app that changes? Thanks
[Defy Android Development] hunyadia:
Interesting: also use 2.14, supersu has, but oi filemanager has instead of mifile. Hmmm

I came to 2.14 from the earlier version , not from quarx version.

@Skeevy: Is this something that can be included in PA? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32457447 It's a hosts file for ad blocking...or maybe is something that can be used when you release PA with Aroma?

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

I could be wrong...I was under the impression Skeevy switched to MiFileManager but I'm not sure as I always customize the ROM before installing...
[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
If anyone is interested in blocking ads without having to install any kind of app you can do it by downloading the attached hosts file and placing it on /system/etc and setting permissions to 0644 by root:root. See the original post here. I've cleaned the hosts posted in that thread by removing a lot of duplicates. You can download this cleaned hosts file here:

Hi, Im going to sound like a complete idiot, however......

Trying to install over an old motoginger rom ive been using for ages (froyo base, clockworkmod 4.......)

wipe data/cache/dalvik cache

install JBparanoid......zip from sdcard

install gapps from sdcard

wipe data again

reboot

phone boots into old motoginger rom but now i cant get into the play store as gapps has been updated, why isnt the main rom flashing?

restoring backup (hopefully) for now till i figure out where im going wrong. :(

Before anything else you should definitely update you CWM recovery, mate. Use the 2ndInit installer from the Defy Apps&Themes subforum! ;)

Need help with ICS PA

Hi, I loved the PA jellybean rom but it was getting a bit slow even with V6 and kak. I found that there is a PA ICS (discontinued) ROM which I tried and it has got almost everything except the button backlight. I tried to modify the framework-res.apk with brightness values, but it did not work. Using the fix in the thread the backlight is very dim and only lights up until the screen turns off. I have to toggle the auto-brightness to get them to work again.. can someone guide me how to get this fixed? I love the bright buttons, though ICS runs smooth. Thanks in advance! :o

Edit: Please ignore this. The gaming perf for the ROM was worse than JB, so I will get back to PA JB or ICS,. Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Figured I'd post something because its been a while since I've been online.

Over the past month my Dad's had surgery (appendix and part of colon removed) and I also got a job. Between helping family and work I haven't had much time to play with android.

I also found a pc in a garbage can a work (quad core intel, 3 gigs ram, 640gb hd -- better than my old dual core athlon64, 2 gigs ram, 500gb hd) and I've been getting it set up as my new build box. I'm almost done with that (still need to sync with git) and I need to set up my old pc as a file server and I'll be back in business. Updating PA is the 2nd thing on my list after I port over a new CM7 for the Bravo (the port usually only takes two hours including uploading the rom). I'm also going to look into using the custom kernel with PA.

I've been out of the loop for the past month so hotlinks to relevant custom kernel info will be greatly appreciated.

If it makes anyone feel any better, I'm still running the last PA I uploaded. Yes, I've been that busy.

[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Good to see your back again :)

Great to see your back again and everything is well with your family ^_^

Just to get you up to date with the new process for building roms for defy.

First you need to add these two repos....

<project path="jordan-kernel" name="Quarx2k/jordan-kernel" remote="github" revision="2.6.32" />
<project path="system/wlan/ti" name="tpruvot/android_system_wlan_ti" remote="github" revision="gingerbread" />

Then you can remove the mb525 branch isn't not needed anymore we just use the mb526 branch thanks to the custom kernel :)

Now you need to sync the jellybean branch for mb526 which adds support for 2ndboot and also the sync the jb_2ndboot branch for moto common as we don't use the jellybean branch anymore. I think that should be it.

P.s I got a Defy+ now ^_^ and good to see you got a more powerful pc :p :cyclops:

Have fun ^_^
