Hey there.

I finally found a good reason to switch to your ROM, after a long and happy use of SpazeDog ICS. It became just very unstable and unusable. So I decided to give another try to your ROM. Damn, best thing I've done for my Desire. Ever.

Even without Project Butter ( the only thing I really miss ), this ROM is smooth enough and very beautiful. JB is just wonderful and PA is still the best you can get for your phone in my opinion ( at least, until it uses CM features. Switching to AOSP is really a bad choice for me, and I'm not sure I'll use PA 4.2 if they won't fully replace CM features ). Mount2SD allows me to have TONS of apps, and without any bad issue. I also use the 4.2 stuff. Keyboard is nice, clock is a reborn and Camera is perfect ( some flickers sometimes and Panorama won't work some other times, but also stock camera gives this kind of problems sometimes, and it is not your fault ). "Gaming" performances are also good, I can play "Busted!" and "Puzzle Quest 2" very well.

Only one thing I have to report ( maybe you have already treated this issue. Excuse me for my laziness, I just can't sift all the thread right now... I promise that I'll keep myself informed from now on :) ) : Chainfire3D doesn't work. More specifically, I flash CF3D driver inside the application ( standard or CWM installation, wich works with 4ext or so should ). Phone reboots and stuck at HTC white logo screen, the one just before bootanimation. The issue is not with my system, I completly formatted it and then reflashed ROM - M2SD - GAPPS before installing CF3D the second and the third time. I hope this can help you somehow.

Nothing more, this ROM is just fantastic. I think my Desire is loving me for the change :)
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
Uhm, are you talking about the one in the Play Store?

Apart from that thanks for these nice words, if you want to tweak animation speed, set the scale in settings->developer ... to 0.5x ;)

I'm also going to do some speed stuff in 2.53, no worries
[Desire Android Development] Alunduyn:
I'm an idiot. A full and recognized idiot. Thanks for your quick answer, I probably wouldn't ever find that by myself :)

I saw the hint, but I like very much the whole animations of JellyBean when they are smooth, and with light apps they are. So I keep it to 1 to enjoy completely them. Still, thanks for advice, I'll try setting just some of the options to 0.5 to find the perfect balance. :)

So I'm waiting for 2.53, you made me very curious!
[Desire Android Development] tosonny:
I have still problems with my 3G-connection. Sometimes (but not always) when I start maps or when I leave my home/my wlan-connection I loose 3G. I wouldn´t mind if I could restore it by changing to airplane-mode. But - an that is the problem - I get 3G-connection only if I restart the phone. And this is a bit boring at the moment.

Am I the only one with this problem, can you all restore your 3g-connection by changing to airplane mode?
[Desire Android Development] pharaone:
Woh I have to thank you again for all of your efforts in producing this wonderful marvel of software that is your ROM. Have been using the 2.5.2 version since the first time you released it and just experienced several reboot issues. After switching Bluetooth on and connecting it with my in car Bluetooth hands free the phone went into several boot loops. Furthermore the 3G connection started to drop after switching between Wi-Fi & Mobile data. Non of those issues were present in your previous version, any advise on what might be causing the problem are more than welcome as I find this ROM to be the most complete for the moment and I really admire your work as well as outstanding responsiveness to your users. Thank you in advance
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
Please be patient, I've got some issues with my phone, but I'm rolling out early 2.53 test roms atm.
[Desire Android Development] Xelio:
Try a Sandisk "Mobile Ultra", the non "Mobile Ultra" one is slow.
[Desire Android Development] siavash2death:
@WoH.will next release of PACman be ready soon? sorry for asking.
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
no

New discussion thread!

​
[Desire Android Development] Alunduyn:
Something more technical to report : your gapps ( I suppose the last version ) give me a lot of trouble if I choose to install Nova. If I'm not the only one, I would suggest to don't select Nova from AromaInstaller.

While Installing Nova AromaInstaller will remove Trebuchet. Then after a reboot I run the setup wizard. All right, yes yes yes yes, "Your phone is ready", I press"End" and then "Setup Wizard has crashed". Weird. "Nova Launcher has Crashed". Very weird. I open Settings. "Settings have Crashed". Damn. And in that black screen I can't even reboot the phone, because the power menu does not appear.

The problem may be a wrong permission in Nova, so it can't start. Setup Wizard crashes because it links to a Launcher but there is no Launcher. Settings may crash due to the "Launcher" page, but it is really weird. I had some problem with system apps while manually making them system apps. By example, Jelly Bean Google Music must be named "com.google.music.apk" or "GoogleMusic.apk" or something similar in system/app, or it FCs after a reboot ( so after classes.dex are built, or everything that Android does while "Optimizing Applications" on boot ) ( not sure if this is only a problem of mine ). So the problem may also be a wrong name wrote, if the problem I described really exists.

So, after the Setup Wizard, the phone become unusable in my case. Trebuchet can't be setted again stock browser because it does not exist anymore in the phone and Settings won't work. All I had to do was pull out battery. If you need more details, I could handle to get another Launcher working with adb and then install a file manager and look what's wrong with Nova, but I would prefeer to not to have to, because my phone now is incredibly stable :) Jokes apart, I'll get more informations as soon as I can if you'll still need them.

I provided you as more informations as I have, I wish this will help you.
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Dev already covered it. He said don't choose nova in his gapps package right after rom install.
[Desire Android Development] Hui91:
So I got orientation toggles with a little work around. :)

On v2.50 choose PA demo, and it will add it without a name permanently. Then flash v.2.52 as you would do. BUT after this trick you won't be able to edit the applications' density, it says it changed the density but in reality it didn't no matter how I tried with a lot of apps. So DO NOT modify per app settings (PA settings) if you use this work around. I'm still waiting for respond from WoH/dev to fix this somehow.

But in the meantime, enjoy if you need it!

[Desire Android Development] arkpark:
I beileve /=\lex was saying that he did do the Nova install after rebooting the phone and doing the initial setup. I had the exact same problem - installed 2.50 just fine, booted up, ran through all the Google setups, had a play, and then eventually rebooted to CWM and installed Nova.

Boom, nothing works, everything is crashing, can't even open settings.

I did a full reinstall and just left it on Trebuchet. I'm too nervous to even try installing Nova from the market, and to be honest I don't know enough about the two launchers to know if I'll even like Nova better.
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Nova should be more stable and faster. Since this isn't to do with the rom you should ask this in the discussion thread instead. Try installing from market though.
[Desire Android Development] arkpark:
I wasn't asking, I was just hoping to clarify another post. :) I'm very happy with this ROM and have no problems, I absolutely love it.

But to add some useful content to this thread, I'll post a solution to a wifi tethering problem that someone had a few pages back. Unfortunately at the time I didn't have 10 posts so couldn't answer.

If you're using Wifi Tether and unable to get it to work, set the Device Profile to Generic ICS/JB instead of Auto or HTC Desire. Instantly solved the problem for me.
[Desire Android Development] WoH:

One question: can i use that package with r-mount, or it will mess something up?
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
No, any setup you like :victory:
[Desire Android Development] mblataric:
Just to be sure ... when using r-mount, you have to click Data and CM Dalvik only, right?
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
R-Mount + Data, but CM Dalvik doesn't break anything

I just uploaded v0.2 to fix major things like the way folders will be linked

Please remember: this is a dev release, do NOT install if you don't exactly know what you're doing
[Desire Android Development] Spyrek10:
Another issue, when you click quick reply in notification bar after receiving SMS, phone reboots.
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
iplayer, flash?

Anyone got the BBC's iPlayer working yet?

I've tried my old apk w/ Flash sideloaded and nothing. I've tried the updated app w/ associated player app w/ and w/o flash and nothing loads.

Any ideas? I know I'm probably asking a lot for Flash but the new iPlayer really should work (only problem is it loads the Media Loader app and the time tracker, plays the audio but I get no video.)
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Trying this via:

Wipe all

Flash PA 2.52 rom

Flash mounts2sd-4.6.2_aroma_woh-signed.zip

Flash gapps w/ replace meta from gapps-jb-20121011-sig.zip

but flashing the new gapps says installation completed almost immediately

[Installing update...

GA for A 4.1.2

Mounting sd-ext

Copying files

Fixing permissions

Unmountind sd-ext

Installation complete!

Install from sdcard complete.]

and thus no gapps - it won't boot past the animation screen. Am I doing something wrong here?
[Desire Android Development] mblataric:
What do you mean "CM Dalvik doesn't break anything"? Is it the same whether CM Dalvik is checked or not in r-mount mode?

Another question - has anyone found microSD card test which would show which microSD card would be best suitable for things like M2SD, INT4EXT and so on. Which spec is most important? Random write (which all card sucks at :))?
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
Wrong direction, place the meta-inf folder from my homepage in the goo.im gapps folder.
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Sorry, that's what I did, I didn't word it properly. I removed the gapps meta-inf folder from the gapps sip via 7zip and replaced the folder with your new one from your webpage.
[Desire Android Development] joeldinis:
It worked on mine... I think. But why do we replace the folder? I can't we just flash your zip?
[Desire Android Development] ironman76:
wow, it works great:D

before i had a2sd but now with data and r-mount its also really fast;)

great job man:thumbup:

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire mit Tapatalk 2
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Could you explain how this is done (or linky a walkthrough, I've googled it but can't find anything I see as being relavent) from the normal a2sd specified in the OP? I'm running this great work but it's a tad laggy...'really fast' would be awesome!
[Desire Android Development] jamaniek:
Holy mother! The ROM is flying! Also, offline speech recognition is finaly here. WoH, you're a genius! :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
After some work on m2sd I finally found time to work on ParanoidAndroid again and that's what I managed to do for 2.54:

- Remarkable speed improvements
- Smoother animations
- Fully working torch
- PA colors fixed
- CM File manager
- Worked a little bit on the cam
- New option in PA Prefs: "Stock UI": Removes Hybrid settings, works good with PA color
- Latest CM sources, fixes many bugs
- RIL, 3G, QCOM display tweaks
- Android 4.2 Keyboard, saves 12 MB on /system + gesture typing
- Saved a lot of space on /system

Hope you appreciate it :)
[Desire Android Development] Alunduyn:
Wowowowowowowow!

Only one question before flashing : will I need a data wipe? If I won't do that will I lose m2SD and so all apps?
[Desire Android Development] WoH:
You don't have to tick CM Dalvik any more, I more or less included it in the rom.

I uploaded 0.3, could you do me a favour and try again?

Dalvik + cache, no data wipe
[Desire Android Development] Alunduyn:
Oh and I'd like to flash your new GApps, that have m2SD already inside, right? So Flashing them won't make all my ext partition useless, I'll still be able to use the apps stored there, right?

You're doing great man, Downloading right now!
[Desire Android Development] joeldinis:
Downloading as we speak.

Just a quick question. Are we ok to Flash GApps as normal or do we still have to past META folder? Or we don't actually need to.
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
Pardon but what needs to be done to get the modified m2sd script working?

Is the copy-paste-thing still necessary?

What are the options that need to be ticked when installing the modified m2sd?

I found multiple statements inside the thread that are different to the one in OP :confused:
[Desire Android Development] kowloon12:
Maybe this is a dumb question but.. I'm running 2.52 now, with m2sd apps+data+dalvik (no r-mount). Now, to install 2.54 + modified m2sd (data+r-mount) + full gapps can I:

flash 2.54 zip

flash your m2sd (v003) zip then selecting r-mount + data

flash full gapps (jb-20121011-signed) zip

flash the modified meta-inf (sig0.3) zip

wipe dalvik + cache

reboot

will I lose my apps? better if I make a titanium backup, wipe all but sdcard as first step, install everything and after the reboot restore titanium backup?

thank you very much!
[Desire Android Development] Masteq:
i believe it's meant to install this way:

- on your computer, download those 3 needed files(m2sd,gapps,additional zip), then replace META_INF folder from that additional zip into gapps and replace everything, (best way is to just open gapps in winrar and dragging META_INF folder just into that gapps folder, it will overwrite everything)

- install PA 2.54 from recovery

- install modified m2sd (i use r-mount+data)

- install newly modified gapps

- wipe dalvik/cache

- boot and enjoy :D
[Desire Android Development] kowloon12:
Yeah I just downloaded the files and thought exactly the same you suggest about the gapps zip (although this would invalidate the signature), but I'm a bit more concerned about the new m2sd, I mean, now I have apps+data+dalvik on sd-ext, can I do the update selecting r-mount+data without losing my apps? I'm not so sure, so I was asking if it would be better to first backup my apps with titanium, wipe everything before the update and then restore the app..
[Desire Android Development] tosonny:
Can I install modified/new gapps also with the "normal" m2sd-script?

I don´t want them on sd-ext (because of space problem).
[Desire Android Development] diosak:
WoH, when is the next update for PACman coming out?
[Desire Android Development] shave31:
I've never seen you, but I love you, man :D

Thanks for 2.54
[Desire Android Development] kowloon12:
I think full gapps package is too big to fit in the phone, see here:

http://woh-roms.weebly.com/full-gapps.html
[Desire Android Development] Toisan:
Dev-host or Mediafire mirrow for full Rom and gapps?
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
Really smooth, much better :)

Use it now as my main Rom.

I like these systembar color settings, too, I know that they were added earlier but anyway, it's really nice.

Maybe you could make the Full Gapps as default and add a more detailed instruction note (which custom settings in M2SD and whether you have to wipe Dalvik & Cache afterwards).

I didn't notice ANY issue and it feels much smoother than other roms. thanks
[Desire Android Development] tosonny:
@WoH: I cannot find trebuchet.apk in /system/apps anymore to delete to get some space. Can I delete launcher2.apk instead (I use Nova-Launcher)?
[Desire Android Development] shinodoigt:
In M2SD, do we have to leave "Safe-mode" ticked in AROMA ?

UPDATE : I tried everything, with JB and stock HBoot, different M2SD settings (with and without safemode/cmdalvik), after booting the rom, I don't see any gapps... I used 7zip to replace META-INF, flashing zips went fine, I don't know what else I can do..

UPDATE : Ok it's only working with Rmount option enabled apparently.. What if I don't want Rmount ? (I just have a class 6 sd card, I just want apps on sd-ext)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
just like to confirm that I had to enable rmount +data to get gapps to show. without selecting gapps caused it not to show
[Desire Android Development] Spyrek10:
Im getting error "Not enough space" wen downloading apps from Google play. Im using M2SD, rmount on/off, app, data, cache,dlcache, dalvik, cm dalvik - everything enabled.

In settings I see 800MB space left.

Folder /data/app is too small, only 160 MB ... how to fix it ?

I installed this m2sd: mounts2sd-4.6.2_aroma_woh_v003.zip
[Desire Android Development] Hui91:
It works! :)

I updated from V2,52 it's working for me. 42.0 MB free space in ROM,+1.05 GB Internal ( I have 1 GB ext).

Here's what I did:

-Download full gapps, 2.54, and new m2sd woh

-Copy/replaced META-INF folder in winrar from v0.3 to this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

-Copied everything to SD

-Wiped Dalvik+Cache

-Install Rom , then m2sd (data+rmount only, safe mode off!) then flashed modified full gapps v0.3

-Wiped Dalvik+Cache again.

-Reboot: and it works for me. :)

( I was using m2sd: rmount+data before the update)

I hope this helps to someone :)

EDIT: I can't find Launcher settings!
[Desire Android Development] lev0816:
I got the same issue, everything is done for below step:

1.Install Rom

2.m2sd (data+rmount)

3.flashed modified full gapps v0.3

4.Wiped Dalvik+Cache

While I completed setting, there's no gapps...

Wondering why???

Thanks for help!
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
When using rmount everything is turned the other way around. Everything you select will stay on internal memory, everything unchecked will be put on sdcard.

So if you want all apps and data to be put on your sdcard, you have to select NOTHING.

You might want to keep data on your internal memory, so unselect apps and dalvik. Just select data.

(dlchache and cmdalvik are unaffected by the rmount setting - you have to select those!)

For the next time, please don't ask this kind of questions in this thread. This is the dev section.
[Desire Android Development] mesiu84:
Installed 2.54 + full gapps and I've found 2 problems:

1. Voice search works kind of slower then in 2.52 with gapps on NAND

2. I've installed google chrome, but when I'm starting it I've got message saying that:

Some important system functions required to start app are missing. Chrome installation is incomplete or uncompatible with this version of Android.

Does anyone have the same problem with Chrome?

I just add that I'm using class 10 SD card.

3. Another problem found, AutoGuard app don't work, was fully running in 2,52, some message about camcoder in logs.

4. After reboot system is starting very very slow :(

5. Another issue during first startup, in 2.52 I was able to connect to WiFi before connecting to my google account, but in 2.54 there was no such option, which is not good :(
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Whats up with all this copying metainf to the zip and all.

WoH- Can you pls provide gapps with this taken care of. Also, pls let us know the right config for m2sd.
[Desire Android Development] Toisan:
Dudes, of no one can upload there i cant try the Rom :/
[Desire Android Development] undasein:
Reporting that last updates works for me :victory:

I came from INT2EXT4+ and no problem in changing to M2SD. 512 ext4 partition.

My walktrough:

Enter Recovery

Wipe cache / dalvik caché

Flash 2.54 Paranoid Android ROM

Flash M2SD script, only check Data an Rmount (It means you keep your apps data on internal memory and everything else in ext4 sdcard partition)

Flash modified GAPPS: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip (with v0.3 tweak) (I dont know if its allowed to post the modified zip here, but I think it will be useful for many users, specially to clarify the process)

Wipe cache / dalvik caché

Reboot phone

Thank you for your hard work. Benchmarking right now :good:
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
I've followed a few of the recommended and official steps to install 2.54 w/ modded gapps meta-inf included and I'm still getting the gapps flashing in seconds and nothing copying.

Questions:

Which options in v.3 m2sd do I select? [Top to bottom, y,n,y,y,n, etc]

Replacing meta-inf folder via 7zip, do I copy the new meta folder to the zip (using gapps-jb-20121011-signed) - which will *merge* folder contents, or do I delete old folder and add new one - which will *replace* the folder?

If I want all the gapps from Play, can I remove the whole gapps /data folder and let it install the /system libs/framework instead or are all the /data folders required?

My sd card speed tests as 5MB/write, 13MB/read (class 4), would I be best with rmount enabled and data or apps on internal or sd?

Finally, GooManager uses recoveries with OpenRecoveryScript which 4EXT doesn't support; twrp does, but doesn't support Desire - does anyone know a Desire-compatible recovery we could use which supports OpenRecoveryScript?

If anyone could post a working merged/updated gapps folder I'd love to try it- or even an md5 hash/exacty byte filesize of updated gapps zip?

Btw, Rom looks gorgeous using Nova/Zeam launcher and PA settings at 184 ppi settings :) but I'm also seeing lower wifi & mobile data signal strength using 2.52 & 2.54 than my Cooldroid GB rom, although the speeds seem similar. Just wondering if anyone has noticed this.
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Pls do post the modified zip file. It sure will help lot of others who have not tried the 0.3 version and wanted to try this first time.
[Desire Android Development] kowloon12:
Just installed 2.54 + full gapps.. I needed to recover my apps from a titanium backup because I changed m2sd configuration (I was with app+data+dalvik r-mount disabled and wanted to try data and r-mount enabled), these are the steps I followed:

- downloaded 2.54 rom, full gapps for jellybean, WoH's metainf for gapps v03, WoH's m2sd 4.62 v003

- created a new gapps package replacing the metainf

- placed all the stuff on the sdcard

- did a titanium backup of all apps

- rebooted in recovery (i use 4ext)

- did a nandroid backup

- wiped all but fat32 partition

- flashed 2.54

- flashed m2sd selecting data and r-mount

- flashed gapps (the zip with the custom metainf)

- reboot

- cursed Google for not automatically restoring Wi-Fi passwords and the other stuff

- manually configured Wi-Fi, installed titanium and restored apps+relevant system data

It seems to work pretty well for now.. Stock ui in paranoid settings now works.

I couldn't disable the Google search bar from launcher because I couldn't find the launcher at all among the settings, so I installed Nova from the store :)

Some notification toggles are still missing but luckily titanium restored my old ones.

The new keyboard rocks! Much better then the leaked one!

Thanks WoH for your GREAT work!

[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
One rom suggestion (though I'm not sure if this is JB-wide now) - taking the volume down I think vibrate belongs below silent in using the volume rocker to decrease volume - it's more used I'd say and currently just holding it down goes all the say to silent- anyone think better on vibrate?
[Desire Android Development] savale:
Wow this is a really fluid rom! I really want to make it work, but I did something wrong with the new method I think: Installing the modified gapps only gave me play store and talk (maps / gmail was missing). I also can't start "telegraaf" app from the market. Can someone confirm this? Thanks!
