[Fascinate General] USCCMesmerize:
I have done hours or research and forum post reading and cannot figure out how to take an untouched USCC Mesmerize (FW:2.3.5, Kernel:2.6.35.7) and get Paranoid Android to work. My company is using 6 of these phones and I would like to test this build on one of them, with the hopes of upgrading them all. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
Flash this in Odin http://db.tt/rZFZpxnM

Then download gapps from this thread then download the latest version of paranoid droid for mesmerize/ showcase from out beta site here https://sites.google.com/site/paranoidandroidports/

And then boot in cwm wipe data/cache partician/davilac cash flash the ROM it will say its not compatible just click install zip from SD again click the ROM and it will install then wait for it when it boots back cup into cwm install gapps and then press back reboot system now. CONGRATS YOUVE INSTALLED PARANOID ANDROID :p

That was much easier than I was trying to make it. I had gotten myself all kinds of confused! Thanks so much for your speedy reply. I am now running this ROM and am very happy with it!

P.S. The first boot took a VERY long time, I was nervous.
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
Yea it does take a while too boot haha glad you like it. Hit me up anytime you want I'm also on root wiki with the same username :) need anything just ask

The Phablet UI is not working for me. I have cleared all data/cache and reflashed with both normal and hardcore package. Still can't get it to work. Also, there is no Swype in this package?
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
Yea no swipe and what's the phablet UI doing? It doesn't work quite right for me either I think its a bug

alright i think phablet is messed up for everyone and as for swype instell this https://www.dropbox.com/s/puv038776ri7719/com.swype.android.inputmethod-3.26.92.39062.apk

then after that run the sype installer from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/4g39vd29e2yw7pk/com.swype.android.installer-2.0.apk :p
[Fascinate General] USCCMesmerize:
When I select Phablet under workspace, it tells me I have to reboot. After the reboot, it is still in phone mode with hybrid disabled. I am not able to change the app size on any apps. I am able to change the workspace, system apps and user apps under the user interface menu to phablet, but that comes out looking weird and nothing really works right under it. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use the normal package or the hardcore package, there are no differences that I noticed. Are they the same package? What is supposed to be different?

Swype is working now. Thanks a bunch for those links! I used APK Installer from the play store.
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
2.21 is acting so strange you say hardcore worked but a guy just pmed me saying it don't well actually two guys lol and some people are reporting tablet and hybrid working some ain't I think you may want too flash back too my 2.20 build nobody complained on it

Have you guys tried tablet mod to see if that works?

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Fascinate General] USCCMesmerize:
Yes, I have tried tablet mode, phablet mode and stock UI. After reboot, it defaults back to, hybrid mode disbaled, workspace DPI 0, workspace layout 0px, system default DPI 0, User default DPI 0. If I go into user interface, I can select phablet mode for workspace UI, Syatem apps and user apps, but after reboot it looks funky and doesn't work right. The icons are all over the place and some are on top of each other, etc.

Can I just flash 2.20 over the top without losing all of the stuff I have installed/settings/data etc. I spent hours getting my phone setup and would hate to start from scratch again.

I wiped both caches and flashed 2.20, but still get the same result. Maybe it is just something I am doing wrong?
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
It may be lol follow these steps go into cwm wipe data/wipe cache/wipe davalac in the advanced menu go too install dip click paranoid 2.21 wait for it choose install zip again and click the latest gapos when its done boot it up and look and make sure profiles is off then go too paranoid setting change it REBOOT MANUALLY and if it boots in cwm and has errors tell me them

I rebooted the phone and completed the setup that it makes me do on startup. Entered my gmail, restored and backed up my account from google. I looked at profiles and turned it off. When I change the paranoid settings, it makes me reboot. I can't reboot manually? I let it reboot itself and it does load CWM without me telling it to. I checked the error log and got the following:

I:Checking for extendedcommand...

I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...

I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

I:Can't format unknown volume: /emmc

I selected reboot and let it load PA. It tells me "voodoo sounds application has been broken by..." it went away before I could read the rest. I checked the paranoid settings and Hybrid mode is still disabled.

Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it!

I give up! I have tried everything. Including a new sd card. Fully wiped and formatted. I have tried 5 different PA ROMs with two versions of gapps. No matter what I do, I cannot turn hybrid on. It is ALWAYS disabled! If I try to change the user interface to phablet or tablet it all goes to hell! I just don't understand why I would be having so many problems. There must be hundreds of people using this without issue? Is there a way for me to erase my phone and start from scratch? Maybe I messed up the Odin flash? The only thing I can see that I might have done wrong is that I didn't use the Atlas pit when I flashed CWM4fixedforCM7. I just flashed it in Odin3 1.85 without a pit file.
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
You done everything right I have no idea why your having problems I wish there was some way for you too send me your phone instantly so I could look at it LOL well I'm sorry your having so many problems. As for getting back too stock fine the stock firmware for your phone put it in Odin put the atlas 2.2 pit in pit in Odin click repartician and flash it. Then you'll be back on stock firmware

i understand your frustration and sorry if you already had mentioned it. Any of these you havent done?

- Are you on the newest bootloaders?

- Sid flash cm10 when coming up from ics before pa?

- Format system.. , Delete data.., flash PA.., flash gapps.., wipe both caches..?

( during flashing pa from cm10 do you flash it twice? it should start flashing then kick into reboot and rt back into recovery and re flash with gapps. )

[Fascinate General] USCCMesmerize:
I was never on CM10 or ICS. I was on Froyo. Not sure what boot loaders I am on. Not sure what a sid flash is.

I had a brand new, untouched Mesmerize straight from USCC. I connected it to my computer and ran Odin3 v1.85. I clicked pda and flashed the CWM4fixedforCM7 file to my phone. Then I used that to flash the PA zip BBrad had and gapps and the MSS patch. I did all the wipes and formats and such.

When I try to enable hybrid by selecting Phablet or Tablet it tells me I have to reboot. I click ok and it shuts down, then when it turns back on, it loads CWM v6.0.something and makes me reboot the phone. When it loads, I look and hybrid is still disabled. I have NEVER gotten it to enable!

It has been over a week and not a single person has posted to say that Hybrid actually works. I am not trying to be a ****. But... does it work for ANYONE? Maybe it isn't just me?

I installed CM10. Rebooted to recovery. Formatted System, Wiped Data, cache and dalvik. Installed PA (I have NEVER had it tell me it couldn't install PA. It works on the first try, every time!) and latest gapps. Installed MMS patch. Wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted. Loaded PA, disabled profiles and tried to turn on Phablet mode. It forced me to reboot. I clicked OK and it shut down. When it loaded back up, it went into CWM recovery. Reboot system now and Hybrid is disabled.

Maybe I need a new phone? I have the insurance or whatever it is through USCC. I guess it could be a defective unit.

I just want to see a post from someone who actually has hybrid enabled and working properly on a Mesmerize before I call it game over.
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
A new phone isn't the problem it isn't defective every phone is different pretend its a person I may like one thing why you may like another for example I can over clock my phone stable too 1.5ghz my friend can too 1.7ghz lol that's awesome! So you can try it but your new phone may not be able too install a custom ROM at all. So honestly flash another jelly bean ROM and hope everything works right. Did you know I can't install cyanogenmod 10 ? I get errors at boot or it goes crazy and random reboots me every 2 seconds for some reason I have too install ROMs based off from AOKP

As I note, I found out what the headphone control issue was. The headphone jack is wired differently on the Fascinate series, and Android v4.0+ reverses audio channels, rendering line-in mics and controls useless. So, disregard my prior post.
[Fascinate General] supdog:
As info...I bought my daughter a fassy. She had to have one when she saw jb...she wanted pa black bean, which I had zero experience with...so we flashed her up from stock froyo. She had issues with ROM control...reboots, freezing and no response on some options. So I odin'd the newer GB boot loader... all problems eliminated. She's been running two weeks on black bean with no complaints.

PA 3+ 4.2 Status

PA 3+ AOSP 4.2 Status:

- Tablet UI is functional, revived from the dead and PaPrefs ready

- Hybrid bugs solved, statusbar_size and sys/user_default_dpi don't create gaps anymore

- Recents look uniform across all UI modes

- Google/AOSP bug/lag in recents is solved, like butter again

- Tons of minor little things

They going to work on a complete new branch of PA, based on the pure AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The result being, a super fast, smooth, stable, efficient, & cutting edge makeover for the ParanoidAndroid, integrated with our very own powerful Hybrid Engine. With time & progress, all possible features will be merged gradually, to make an All-Round Perfect ROM. :victory:

But how does that affect the non-AOSP devices?

All good! Everything goes on as is! The Legacy devices will be kept under development, for as long as possible.

Thanks to the ever-working CM, their Device Trees & the Base CM Source Code will be continued to be worked upon, & the main line PA progressed. All the features & Engine that you've come to love, stay & develop.

AOSP 4.2 is still a mess. Androidpolice called it the most bugridden Android that has ever existed, i think they've got a point.

Follow these steps if u want to use dpi hacked version.

1. Flash the zip file and reboot.

2. In Settings->Apps->All clear data of Play Store and Google Services Framework then reboot.

3. Open Play Store, if it gives error then clear data of Play Store and open Play Store again then hit accept.

4. If ur apps doesn't show up under installed apps in play store after installing this fix then reboot once and u should see it afterwards.

5. If above steps didn't fix ur issues then remove Google account,reboot and relogin.

Note:

U need to follow all these steps only when u r having problems like certain apps not showing up in play store(e.g. facebook,beautiful widgets),shows incompatiblity error,etc.

Inverted Multi DPI Play Store for JB - HERE

Inverted Multi DPI Play Store for JB 4.2 - HERE

What I do:

Extract the apk from the .zip. Then delete any old xda/market/youtube apps you already may have installed by root explorer or something like it. Finally place the extracted apk in system/app and set permissions to rw,r,r. Reboot and enjoy!

If interested here is another themed one. Knew people were having issues installing not sure if he corrected it. the 3.10.9 worked fine.

Updated links

Hi there. I was running an earlier version of PA (2.14 I think) and I accidently downloaded the lateset GApps. When I rebooted my phone it has become stuck in a bootloop (flashes Samsung name and that is it).

Does anyone have the latest version of PA 2.52 or 2.54 that they can post for me? I presume if I flash a newer version everything should be alright. If not I presume I will have to wipe and then reload my phone. Thoughts, help. Prayers??

Thanks in advance
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
Go to nottas official paranoid thread and look on his dev host for the the latest version for fascinatemtd (our device) also the latest gapps don't work (there for 4.2) pa is 4.1.2 so only download the gapps for 4.1.2
[Fascinate General] Smittynm:
I have tried the links in both his thread and the dev host an dthey do not seem to be working. Yeah, I had warned myself awhile back not to upgrade gapps / goomanager . unfortunately I was distracted by my daughter and said OK. It may have been goo manager instead of Gapps. Thanks for the quick reply.

Your can go straight to 2.54 you just got to flash it twice the first time you try it will give you a partician error just install it again and it will work Happy flashing :D
