If you aren't going to go farther with PA I'm gonna take the thread out of my favorites.

If you are going farther with it then I'll continue to test it, but I like the PAC-rom better. I never used the PA settings anyway. Plus I like the customizable nav bar in AOKP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] depsy89:
how to enable data and apn? every time i try to open it, i get force closes or returns to the settings screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Use the 6xx cwn recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Tumaini, I used the cwm provided by iuss for flashing jb (and that is 6xx I think). Benetnath sugesteg we use that recovery. So I flashed cm10 from iuss and pa from benetnath using that recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Okay, thanks. I'm trying to figure out this bt thing. I can pair, but not connect to any of my devices. Laptop, phones etc....

I re-flashed the tweaked ICS for a few minutes and everything connected without any problem.

And your bt connects with both roms as well BENETNATH?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Did not have time to test on other rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
with every rom my phone connects BT with pc/laptop/other...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victix11:
ow shoot :eek: :eek: :S

Ow shoooot...!!!

I thought i found out why the gapps didn't install through CWM, i used the CWM provided by mistercheese instead of the CM10 one...(stupid me :p) so i thought: hé lets take a META-INF file from a flashable CWM zip on the internet and zip that with the recovery image and then flash it (I did this on my previous phone and it worked so I thought it couldn't harm). I wasn't at home when I did this and I didn't want to wait till I got home...:P After a few different META-INF's (some just gave a status 7 error) i finally got the notification that the recovery was installed! jeeej, i thought..... but when i rebooted recovery I got stuck on the alcatel logo....So i reinserted the battery and just booted, but sadly enough i got the same issue. It could've been bootloader, but neither fastboot nor adb recognize anything...they both just say waiting for device or device not found..... So i think i kinda broke my device.... It could also be battery-related, as the battery is empty, but I can't know 'cause I can't even get in the charging screen, the device first flashes, then i get on the alcatel logo and then the device just shuts down i guess, the screen goes black...:eek::eek::eek: :S

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS! I'm desperate.... :crying: Any help is appreciated :P

Shoot the day started of great with me just going to university and playing around with my new paranoid jellybean ROM in the break and now my phone is broken......
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Same here. Except this one and CM10. I just got finished testing gb, ics and the tweaked ics. Bt worked in all three. I already knew it though cause I use it daily. So I'll just have to go back to ics (yeech!!). Could be worse though. Good luck guys. :) :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Sad..

So the first thing is to have a battery.

Did you try to let the phone with the charger, even with a black screen

Otherwise, did you try to boot with volume to go in fastboot

You can also try to launch a adb reboot-bootloader command before plugging and powering

Then, you might catch it during boot.

No recovery flashed i suppose?

Keep us aware of ur trials
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victix11:
I left it charging on the black screen for about 8 hours when i was slepping last night but nothing happened...

I can't boot while holding volume as I don't have enough power to do so...and when i hold the combination just before plugging in and then holding it a little longer it doesn't do anything :(

Cathing it with adb before plugging in doesn't work, neither with fastboot.

I don't know about recovery, probably not installed, but i can't test it.

I will post my problem in the other thread as well, 'cause I think it gets a lottle more views.

Thank you for your help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
That begins to be hard to solve without power..

Maybe return it for servicing.. or find another owner?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victix11:
Yes I guess that's the only thing I can do. Thanks again for your help:P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madjose:
or you can buy a cheap batery charger!!:cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victix11:
What exactly do you mean??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DennisJKA:
You can charge the battery outside of the phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
http://m.accessorygeeks.com/universal-travel-charger.html

You mean ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madjose:
I use a 3 euros one that i bougth in chinos and it works great:) :) :) :)

Mine is a external one ,i use it to carge a spare batery, so i always have a batery on the Phone and one charged for a emergency, it charges diferentes tipes of baterys because you can move the metal conectores to mach the batery.

kind like this:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] victix11:
ok thanks man! i wil try this! might take a few days though, as it has to be shipped far far away :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Ben, any news about PA? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
still in vacation :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
it seems all rom progress is dead.... is this rom further developed then the cyanogenmod 10 from iuss or just equall i want to test this rom to see if my battery get drained or not but i need to know what works and dont works

cm10 has wifi,3G, sound, camara working

at least those things need to work and does this rom has video becaus video playing does not work on cm10
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
currently, as i've got really few spare time, it'll mainly equal the progress of iuss's CM10.

but paranoid android is really different for the layout aspect.

and you know, we are only men, with jobs, wifes etc.. and if really few people are interested and show a bit of gratitude, then development remains a background task..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DennisJKA:
On the latest version of CM10 from iuss video playback DOES work quite good ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
I think people are interested, but most are kind doing the vulture thing. Hanging around waiting to reap the benefits without any work (testing). So take your sweet time. Just know you have a few testers when you need us.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Well Ben, as tumaini says... a lot of people, just wait for the "perfect" edition of a rom, and just flash it and do not post a feedback... Maybe you should share your rom to testers only? Just a thought....

Anyway, I'm here waiting for another release to be flash on my 995 :D

Greetings,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
thanks for your support. currently, i'm quite happy with the current status of the PA, except the battery drain.

so a new release is not my top priority, and i frankly will let iuss et al. do the work for now :)

but at least, some feedback on PA will always be useful
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
well yes, the battery is draining as a box of cold beer in a hot afternoon :)))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
agrees.. but it adds so much functions that i cannot go back to ics ;)

i must find time to logcat a bit..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Ben, u're using it everyday? I guess the 995 is your second phone :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
no, my first, and yes, daily use
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
New Build currently uploading.

will be available there : http://goo.im/devs/BENETNATH/paranoid-android-ot-995

check in 1 hour, i'll be sleeping ;)

feedbacks welcome
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
sleep well Ben :)

I downloaded it, but where is the Changelog? I didn't find anything on OP.

Tnx for the new build ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
i will try and report my findings tomorrow if its equall to iuss or even further now.

i go to test:

video (playing with youtube and winamp)

data (3G, wifi)

gaming ( crahses)

camara ( pictures, filming)

overall usage (sms, whatsapp, calling)

sound (ringtones, alarms)

usb conenctions ( windows 7 and 8)

lights (back light, incomming sms/whatsapp, camara)

overall comment:

this phones battery goes normally about 1 day maximum with gb stock, i got it running for 2 days with gb costumized. if i use iuss it will last for 8 to 12 hours till 1 day max. that means this phone just has one awfull battery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
I couldn't get it to flash, don't know why. Error kept saying

Can not open

Bad

Installation aborted.

As an after thought, I DLed the file with my mobile modem and not wifi like I usually do. File may have been corrupted. I'll DL it via wifi later. I'll let you know how that turns out.

And thanks for the rom update. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
weird, no trouble here, just stuck once on boot logo just after flashing, but battery removal fixed it

Edit : can someone confirm the archive is not corrupted and installation was successful ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Yeah it's weird alright, but after DLing a second time I got the same results.

I'll wait to see what some of the other guys say. And I did reflash the cwm for jb. So I'm a bit perplexed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
will reupload in a couple of hours.. might be an issue in upload too..

but my bandwith is quite slow at home.. so got stuck during transfer and resuming it might hava caused an error.

i'll update the post once it's done.

sorry for the trouble
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
No trouble. This is life. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
the archieve is damaged
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
new one uploaded, with md5 (25b9499c2c75acf91ba0ff28454c14b4 pa_cocktail-2.51-07NOV.2012-165843.zip)

might take some minutes to refresh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
i give it a try
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
well still damaged...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Yup. Sorry still un-flashable. Maybe it needs a repack. I see from the pics above it seems to be an archive issue, so I doubt it's the contents.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
ok, goo.im bugs me a bit, i uploaded the file three time without success.

dropbox link incoming :

it will be that : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/91092/pa_cocktail-2.51-07NOV.2012-new.zip

available in around 40 minutes

fingers crossed this time, it's a bit boring to have a new release and no easy way to share it.

FYI, without a huge use today, i'm at 66% of battery, after 11h28 on battery.

did not check before but seems better.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Not bad at all on the battery usage bro. Can't wait to try it. :) Thanks for trying so hard to get it to us. :thumbup:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HoScHaKaL:
Does usb mount working succesfully on now ? and whats other news about battery life ı want know ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Got it flashed last night before I crashed. testing now. I'm about to charge the phone and start from there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
New one

http://goo.im/devs/BENETNATH/paranoid-android-ot-995/pa_cocktail-2.51-08NOV.2012-220129.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
:good:

thanks BENETNATH.. can you update the changelog on OP?

I'm downloading right now this new version..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
This is the same as the db file?

EDIT: A problem I'm having is having to do a wipe every time I boot now. Pulling the battery isn't getting me past the boot freeze, which is every boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
well iuss seems disappeared from the stuff so i guess someone must take over his development or switchin to paranoid.

whats the problem with the booting and crashing where everyone is talking about.

second of all i have my own problem: i use windows 8 reinstalled android sdk device cannot be detected anymore in bootloader modus, usb on 4.1 works well now xD i use gb bootloader. our country still waits for the official update 4.0.4.

it seems that BEN is our only hope for a full and complete jb rom now, we also never heard of aokp rom from v1nc3.

hopefully BEN will make the rom full working. i test it as soon as i can bootup my phone in bootloader again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
That will be good maka. The more testers the easier it will be for Ben to pin point what problems are real and are isolated/user error.

Now, the rom doesn't crash. It's something with the bootloader that makes it hang. At first pulling the battery would fix it for a few boots.

With me though, now it hangs all the time. The only way for to boot is to wipe the phone. Then it boots. But after that it goes through the whole thing again. Impossible to keep your data that way.

Also, bluetooth is still a no go for me. BUT it works for everyone else. At least I think it does. There haven't been enough people testing this rom for me to make any conclusions about anything.

The rom runs like a dream though. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
The last build is really really nice :)

The scrolling is better then before ...

Nice work Ben!

I'll post my feedback in two days...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
I have to agree with you. Like I said, runs like a dream.

How is booting for you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
yes, i really don't get the point for the boot crashing, i must take some time to debuig thtat part, which seems linked to the platform as some other phone using the same have tricks in their build. must dig that out too..

spare time is such a limitationwhy i have got no access to "The Room of Spirit and Time" (cf. dragon ball..) :)

can someone with data plan check if data consumption counter is working or not
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Well it booted on first time! I didn't had to pull the battery.

I'll check for the data counter.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
I' m running latest build, stack in bootloop on first reboot after install.

after that, the Rom boots really fast.

PAranoid settings are amazing, really one of the best Android Rom.

I install the Rom (and latest build of gapps "gapps-jb-20121011-signed") without a sim card. After that, i installed my sim card.

But i can not enable it. I can't enter pin (the pin dialog doesn't show).

Any clue for the solution?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
got my stuff back working completely remove the drivers did the trick

do i need to complete wipe every single partition??

nvm deleted all its booting now will post results soon

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

indeed

freezes first time then its very fast

same problem as cm 10, gapps must be installed with the ics recovery.

usb storage works on windows 8

light charger works

wifi, works

edit:

very strange: bleutooth must be on to acces 3G settings

up to testing the rest

overall usage: Interface settings worked

bluetooth worked

keybacklight dont work (it saves batterytime maybe you msut make this optional :P)

camara: photo working filming not

youtube and mediaplayer of choice (winamp) working

i like the interface more and its indeed similair to cm10 i think its even more ahead of cm10

hopefully you will complete this rom now you have a new tester in your team :P

now the fun part testing longer usage with gaming will report tomorrow evening
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HoScHaKaL:
bluetooth send but not recieve m confused ı thnk it s my phones problem iuss cm10 workng sendng reiving and now it s not sending whtas problem guys and fr 4.0.4 sending & recieving works :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Sorry but I can't use this rom at all. Every time I set it up it hangs while booting. This last time I pulled the battery 10 times and never got it to boot. I thought maybe it had something to do with the way I was setting it so this last time I flashed it, booted it, turned it off and tried to boot. I'll try it again if the boot issue is resolved, but I can't wipe my phone every time I want to boot it. lol

But I will say that it's a great rom. Even if I can't use bluetooth. Every thing works fine except for that.

Hopefully the boot thing can be fixed so I can use the sucker. :)

The options are the best, and I really love the layout of it.

If and when you post an updated build I'll be more than happy to give it another go.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Thanks for all your feedbacks

I'll focus on this booting issue.

If it happens, cache wipe seems sufficient
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Really. Did not know that. hehe

That kind of changes things. If I can get away with that maybe I can use it after all. I really want to be able to. Cache wiping won't make me have to reset all the data at least.

Keep up the good work! :thumbup: :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
factory reset is not needed.

if cache does not do the trick, dalvik-cache might too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Well after a day and a half, this is what i find not good :) among all the good stuff in this rom:

# Battery statistics not shown (i dont know what eats the battery)... there is something that keeps the phone awake.

Look at this screenshots. Screenshot 1 Screenshot2

This is while i was sleeping....

# After messing with Paranoid Android settings, i did a several reboots... all those boot required to pull off the battery... I see that other fellow members here reported the same...

# 3G data not measurable - i tried CallMeter 3G, and DroidStats from the Market

# Same as before.... during calls, the volume on the speaker turns up and gets really loud.. and the volume buttons are not responding.

# Kernel Guvernor ... i set it to Ondemand - Maybe that's the thing that keeps the phone awake? I see that Performance is set as default.

# Sound - when changing ringtone/notification tone, the tone not always is played ...

Ben, this is a great rom! In compare to ICS, when unlocking the screen, i push the button and i have to wait 2-3 sec until the screen is on and can interact with it. With this rom, it's almost instant (as it should be) :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
thanks for the feedback

agree for the battery statistics, i also use ondemand, and wifi only when screen on
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gunoKo:
Same booting problem like others....rest works fine. Thanks Benetnath!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Gunoko

I had a quite interesting notification .. did not get if it was humor ..

Édition was a good idea!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
this rom is nice :D its much faster then CM10 i am glad i switched it

overal usage is great i like the interface more

battery life is the same as in cm 10 i think

hoping on a new rom soon to test the few things left:

video making (filming)

and back key ligth

i experience that everything else is working on my phone

that means this rom is almost finished :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
if you switch automatic light adjustment, you'll have the backlight working

thanks for the nice feedback, even if i consider it far from finished ;*)

in addition, if some of you want to make video, texts or pictures of presentation of PA for OT-995, i'll add and credit them on OP. no time atm to do so..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
guys, i start from scratch again..

re-download the Rom and the gapps..

wipe everything and install Rom and then gapps..

then wipe everything again..

after the first bootloop, the Rom reboots every time fast..

My ONLY problem is that my pin dialog to enable the sim, never show off..

please anyone any clue?

I used the h1n1 ics Rom with kernel v2 update, if that had something to do with my problem..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
Switching air plane mode or modifying network apn or provider ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
Switching air plane mode, doesn't change anything..

modifying network apn? hmmmmm, never done before...i will search for it..

thanks Benetnath for your respond..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
just FYI :

i've tried Pimp my rom and it worked well : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908269

you must take the hdpi version, boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then install the archive as a rom.

it will boot in a nice menu and you can choose what you want..

don't use the govenors options, are the kernel does not have them, but it works.

no real feedback because too recent but at least, no bootloop :)

it seems also that it has improved the touchscreen flickering issue that some of them reports and that i also have seen sometimes depending of the gesture i made.

EDIT : FYI : "There is a strange bug with the aromas installer. You need to select at least one item from each screen, or it won't install anything at the end."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DennisJKA:
I had the same problem on CM10. I resolved it by putting the SIM card in another phone, disabled the PIN check and put the SIM back in my OT995. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
i got bootloop, and restored previously made backup.... now i saw that it needs wiped cache and dalvik :(

Anyway, my fault...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knight1112:
I think that sensation of touch screen is not good, Rom Stock ICS is not good too, but better this Rom

I can use with another bug like camera, video, but this bug so hard for use everyday
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mustafah822000:
Thanks for your efforts...:)

1- The ROM is very nice and I like it.

2- The battery not draining like other custom ROMs, GOOOOD.

3- Sensor not working like metal detector or compass.

4- I am trying "pimp my rom" and it's working for some boots then the BootLoop again and again.

5- How can I change themes???

6- I want to change the style of system settings, How?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
1.Yes it is! PA is a nice rom. I don't mind much the bugs, but it can be good if everything works. I believe that Ben will make this rom perfect sooner or later.

I was about to write about the magnetic field sensor... it's not working (so the compass is not working too)

About the themes, go to GooglePlay, and search for cm10 themes (cm10 theme manager themes) and install them.. then, go to Settings/Themes scroll left/right to find the theme you want.

About the style of system settings, go to PA settings then Apps and find Settings... open and select Reset or manually set dpi to 240 and relaunch Settings.

Every day more and more 995 users appear :D That's good!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mustafah822000:
thanks to much for your clarify, really I want this ROM be better and better.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

I hope find another way for bootloop
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
yes,

this bootloop bug is crap, and that's really annoying.

i'd need a bit of help here as it's not really my deal.

currently, i'm trying to have a kernel compiled for PA, as i think we might improve some things.

once running, i'll post on github my progress

is there anybody reading who has some capabilities to help ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madjose:
I love the.rom.but i cant use it because its not scroling well in the browser.

I try every thing, tweaks ,fresh reenstall and its the same pain in the as... to scroll up and.down web.pages in diferent browsers

Does anyone have the same problem or its just me???

:confused:
