Which kernel is best with this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] blizzardproof:
I would stick with the kernel that comes with the ROM for right now . Especially since newer builds won't be cm10 based . I will try later tonight and confirm that it works for you

Sent from my SGH-T959 w/ PA 2.53
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
+1 on this.

I've tried Devil and it seemed laggy compared to Semaphire but YMMV - try and compare.

You may want to check out this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domobile.applock. It's the perfect tool for that situation where you lend your phone to someone else. It can place a password (text/pattern) on any app of your choosing. I use it all the time when friends ask to borrow my phone. You can even place a password on settings, app installation/un-istallation, and some other processes. I think you might find it helpful... Plus it's free.

I just flashed devil 1.8.1vc with PA 2.54-360 to make sure it works. Wiped cache and dalvik cache as I said before, no issue during install. I also selected XL-390 memory in the devil kernel configurations app and video playback works fine. I will run it for awhile and see if any "issues" arise and add any findings to this post. So far so good.

???
[Vibrant Android Development] N00B_IN_N33D:
Well, there's really only two options to choose from. There's the Semaphore JB kernel (which as you know, is the default kernel included in this ROM) and there's also the Devil kernel. Personally, I've never even flashed the Devil kernel. I've been meaning to test it out for quite some time, but the Semaphore kernel has been so good to me. Just stick with the default kernel for a while, maybe even tweak it a little (I like to do a some undervolting [-75 on all ranges], set the governor to "SmartassV2", set the active scheduler to "CFQ", enable "bigmem", activate "deep idle", and activate me some buttery "Smooth UI"). After you hang with Semaphore for a while, switch to Devil for a while, tweak it to suit to your taste, and then decide which you'd rather run.

Wish I could give you a straight answer man, but as I mentioned before, I've never ran Devil, thus I can't really give my two cents on it. But I can tell you that Semaphore is definitely a good option. Hopefully someone who's ran Devil can give you their opinion, cause frankly, I can't.
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
I tried devil 1.8.1vc tonight for a few hours, using smartassv2, sio and XL mem. At first it seemed very quick and responsive. After about 10mins of use it got very choppy and lagging. This was opening apps, swiping from page to page and in browser apps. I made sure my WiFi connection was solid but still had troubles on browser, stock and otherwise. I also had one forced reboot. I like the expanded functions of devil and love voodoo color but, for me, the stability of semaphore outweighs those options.

*NOTE* My findings are my own, using PA 2.54-360. I did not test with PA stock build. Others experience may vary.

[Vibrant Android Development] corpsetomb:
I have been using this ROM for quite sometime and it is easily my favorite jb rom available. Props to jrong1 for his awesome work.

I was wondering if anyone ever figured out the "ste-gps-interface" battery drain issue that happens sometimes on different ics and jb roms. It seems to keeps a constant kernel lock and seems to be the culprit for the android os battery drain issue. I have searched throughout and only found others having the same issue but no resolution except rebooting the device. I have tried many things, turning off and on gps, making sure programs that could possibly use gps are off, etc., but no results.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] imilleson:
When you first boot, do you get a lock. If not then this could be your battery drain issue
[Vibrant Android Development] corpsetomb:
Yes I do get a lock via gps test. It almost seemed to start right after that, but I can't say that for certain.
[Vibrant Android Development] snc74:
In my case I'll prefer devil kernel because give me rock solid gps. Also i flashed gps files so that helps too! About lagg, i don't have any problem at all since i baked v6 scharger script on it and is allways ridicously fast. But that's my case, miles vary. Here's my gps. Just 30 secs to one minute waiting:

This ROM is the ultimate control over your phone! I keep turning back to it everytime, it's almost perfect. However I do find a little defect, there is still missing the orientation toggle, I use it pretty often. I have the latest release, PA 2.54.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
An update on development, this release is nice and stable and will be the last until things are working for a jb4.2 release which looks like won't be until both pa and cm have things smoothed out.

Please be patient (no eta) I will release when ready.

This is a small problem some people have, I will find a good work around.

I had this exact same scenario and was helped out of it by the good people of XDA. :cyclops: This is what worked for me.

Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, then flash the Semaphore 2.5v kernel only.

Don't reboot! Use the reboot to recovery option from within CWM, then full wipe and flash the ROM.

Hope it works for you too!

try power toggles as a workaround. its free in android market...you can put your own customized toggles in the pulldown, including orientation.

[Vibrant Android Development] souleater11:
does Gps work on this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
If you're vibrant usually can get gps then you should be good with this rom.

If you have continuing trouble and really want working gps with the risks of 911 possible issues I have a build with the ics files that most people find work. But again that is only available upon request and after the regular release proved to not be able to get gps working.

[Vibrant Android Development] corpsetomb:
Hey everyone,

I hope this will be somewhat helpful, someone had asked ib the q&a section asking about the deep idle sleep of death. After some tinkering, here is what I found:

So basically using the interactive governor and sio scheduler and NO WIFI should prevent the sleep of death with deep idle on. As we know all vibrants have their own attitude, but hopefully this will apply to most!
[Vibrant Android Development] mik0bil0g:
After calibrating my battery, I've been getting better battery life than I ever have on any other rom on my stock battery. Not to mention that PARANOID is super smooth and fast. Loving this ROM. I'm on 10 hours of use, 2 hours of screen on, and only at 28%. Wifi has been on for 9 hours. Awesome!

Awesome battery life for me too:
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
Thank you for your suggestion, I use Widgetsoid, also free and very customizable. After 2 days of use it doesn't break DS and is very battery friendly.

PS. I recommend everything stock on this ROM (the 360 version). It's just perfect, including, yes, the GPS.
[Vibrant Android Development] Foolishbison:
Awesome. This is with light to moderate use, original stock battery.

Nice man that's better than min. Mine was with moderate use on a stock battery as well. I could only touch numbers like that if I was running a FROYO rom with little to no use, i would usually be ready to charge as soon as i got home from work.

Just yesterday I purchased these anker batteries and I've been getting really noticeably better battery life with them! And now I have 3 batters to use :) Helps that it came with a battery charger so I can charge my other batters when I'm not using 'em.

I'm scared that it will eff my phone and I don't have the time to JFD right now.....although I have tried 1.7.5 and ended up going back to Semaphore 2.5.0 as it was laggy.

Goo.im question - I was alerted there was an update to gapps and when I installed it, I ended up with force closing on the AOSP keyboard.

I tried to clear the cache, no effect. I wiped the cache through recovery, that didn't fix it either. I reflashed the old gapps package and wiped the cache again, still got the force closing. Finally just reflashed the existing ROM release and all it happy again, except it's asking me to update again...

Ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] davidgs:
Probably because those new gapps are for 4.2.1 and this ROM is 4.1.2
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
I'm running a 4.2 gapps package without issue but the zip I'm using uninstalls the old gapps first so that could be the difference.

Hello. I am running PA 2.5.3 with Sema 2.5 and I have a different issue with my speakerphone. Everyone can hear me fine, however I cannot adjust the volume while i'm on a call via the volume buttons. I tried adjusting the settings via advanced settings, and it only changes the overall volume of the call (which has helped a little), but again, I got nothing while im on the actual call. The adjuster moves, but the volume doesn't change.

Thoughts?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
You are not alone, if I am not mistaken it's a problem with the in call volume control feature that was implemented to boost the levels. Try when in a call, go to settings, advanced, in-call control.

This feature has been removed in later kernel releases.

Sharing my experiences with Paranoid Android

A week back I installed PA coming from an old Bionix ROM (Froyo based). I'm really impressed with my Vibrant coming back to life with it: responsive, faster in many ways, way prettier! And no worries with Apps backward compatibility anymore. But not all is perfect. I'll list here the main things I went through and noticed so to maybe help others and get some help myself.

First, let me put a quick pros/cons list when comparing my previous ROM with PA:

Pros:

Way better responsiveness! It might be because I had the old ROM installed for a very long time but everything was getting so slow: opening the dialer or contacts, the UI itself, even some App internal operations (like marking an email as read in Touchdown). Not anymore with PA!

GPS locking and tracking quality and is about the same I had (which is not great given all the nasty problems with Vibrant GPS).

It's gorgeous!

Cons:

Battery life is way shorter; under light usage my phone won't last a day. And mind that I have a lot of things turned so save energy, like GMail push message checking.

Both WiFi and carrier signals are weaker and more unstable than they used to. In my home I used to have good WiFi signal strength everywhere; not so much right now.

GPS won't work again after a long time without using the phone, for instance if I leave it turned on charging through the night, next day GPS won't even turn on (no icon on the upper left corner). Restarting the phone fixes this.

What I did:

Installed the 360 version of PA downloaded from this very thread

Installed the GPS fix described at page 51 of this very thread

Updated the Semaphore Kernel to it's latest version at the time (2.6.5sv)

I didn't update my bootloaders to the Gingerbread ones (I didn't really knew what difference does that makes)

Specifically for the GPS, I had to go through some hops to actually make it work as is now. Initially I installed the 3 updates described right with the PA ROM. But when I went to test it it wasn't working right. So for the 2nd try, I installed each of the 3 updates rebooting in between them and turning on the GPS Test App. This way, it did work.

So, currently what bugs me the most is the GPS not working after the long sleep. I read somewhere this can be due to "deep sleeping" but if that's the thing that show as an option on the Semaphore App, I have it turned off anyway. Second place comes battery life, which is quite short., but I guess that's the price one might have to pay for having an OS version way ahead of what one's phone was expected to host... :)

Finally, I'd like send some kudos to the devs behind the PA ROM and the Semaphore Kernel: you did a hell of a job! :victory:

PS: Does anyone knows if it's possible to make so that the Settings and GMail apps don't show that left side pane, making them look like they used to on Froyo?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
Two things Gmail use paranoid settings /apps adjust to your preference (360px & 240dpi)

2nd gps unless you can't get working gps with out the older fix don't use that fix or pm me and I can link to a unreleased version that seams to work a little smoother than the 3 file fix.

I'm getting amazing battery life with this 2.54 and the 2.50 Semaphore kernel.

I reckon I could milk it out to 4 days if I turned some stuff off... :)

Only problem I have is when I plug into a USB 1.0 port (TV or front panel USB's on desktop PC does it), it does a weird little soft reboot thing where it reboots from the PA eyeballs boot animation, it never jumps right back to the Vibrant logo.

Pretty weird. It also never does it with a USB 2.0 port...

Couple things, is their a setting somewhere to make the notification pull down transparent? And how to I turn PA colours back off LOL ??

Thanks heaps, great ROM!

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. My GPS is pretty solid, too. Locks in about 20-30 seconds before or after DS, I never do the lock after reboot thing, either.

In my 1948 Dodge, it does lose signal constantly though, too much steel in the roof maybe? It seems fine in any other cars, or walking or riding?
