Ok Tested and here is my results about these ROM ...

(+) Pluses

- its relay fast

- i like Trebuchet

- i like the launcher i mean , when u are in setting is nicely divided left and right

- i like then i get email and under toggle menu the description is with more detail , think is AOSP (not sure) but i like that

- i like the most that in power menu u have inserted >restart >recovery >screenshot > extended etc. , it is important so we not have to boot in cwm from USB cable with cwm etc.

- i like is little more touch sensitive

- i like that somehow the camera IS FIXED , now we can capture decent photos :P

- really fast internet browser

- no file manager

( - ) now bad side for these ROM "sorry BENETNATH" but u need testers right ;)

- at first everything is OK but after installing couple basic apps the phone start to freeze (sometimes)

- when somebody call me the phone screen go black and cannot see who is it (but keeping ringing in background)

- that bug with internet manual APN fix is relay annoying (must to config my self , but in ICS and BG was fine e.g. auto no need for manual settings)

- BATTERY consumption is like hell

- no JB kernel mod like H1N1

- not deodexed

- the ram after couple apps wont go under 63-73% and phone freezes for sec or two e.g. in ICS take about 53-59% in normal use no freezing and blanks

(Hints) pls try to put it in next one or fix the next couple thinks

- Battery saver.ark that from ICS >

- Radio.ark same ICS >

- File manager same ICS >

- Superuser.ark green one (i think it runs faster and more stable with that one, SuperSu.ark i think is less stable)

- fully deodexed & merged & optimized apks for the optimized speed & better stability

- Put in power menu if possible Fastboot button

- boot with stock 1,4GHz

- add governors: SmartassV2 / Smartass / interactiveX / Lagfree

- touch optimization (Smoothness...)

- try to if posible AXI/GPU OC removed because of battery/overheat problems

- try to add voltage table revised/optimalisations (UV for more battery life)

- add ArmV7 kernel optimalisations

- add zRam (continously 100-180MB free RAM)

- try to dig out something from Slim-I9000-3.1.0-OFFICIAL , realy got good setup menu with tweaks

P.S. Sorry for long hard report I relay like your ROM but please try to fix that bugs fith laggs and freezings and black out till etc.

The bootloader doesn't matter to me. It's the developer of the bootloader. I've had nothing but bad from Alcatel firmware. Besides, this is Sweden. I'll be extremely surprised if Comviq supports the crossover. I know there are Swedish owners that monitor this forum. Haven't "heard" any of them saying the update is available here yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
thanks for the report.

which one are you using ?

can you try the last one please (with governors ?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ragazzodule:
yup

Yup np bro , I was using the last one "pa_cocktail-2.55-20121211-100125-Utacka" w/h governors (pls add in kernel governors recommended from me cuz they are the best for consumtion and performance ;) ) ,

Yesterday switched to "H1N1_v4_aroma" , now im with powersaver.ark and smartass V2 governor (for 6h take only 2% from battery w/h WiFi, Bluetooth ON >> like it a lot ) , is bit stable from JB

P>S> when i was on "pa_cocktail-2.55-20121211-100125-Utacka" , i tried to install "pa_cocktail-2.51-05DeC.2012-212106" and "aokp_cocktail-benetnath-20121111" but some how after installation w/h full wipe data they don't waned to boot and stuck to alcatel white screen , that also tries to 2 phones OT-995 problem stayed the same

P>S>2> I'm not good much for progr android bro would help some how but.... :/ , u try to fix the bugs in my Little report :D and would be awesome and in the most stable ROMs here :highfive: :fingers-crossed: , i looking forward for the new version ;) if need testing write me pm ;) cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
i presume your ".ark" means ".apk", right ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ragazzodule:
yeah my bad :( "apk"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
I said i was out of good ideas. Anyway i allways have my wi-fi on when i set my APN's so . . . :eek:

I really hope you can sort that one out.

@ragazzodule: bro that's not the last version. You really shoul try the 19Dec version, It's really awessome.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ragazzodule:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
http://code.google.com/p/pa-ot-995/downloads/list

I's in the OP bro. Allways install the latest upload!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ragazzodule:

p.s. witch versions are 2S50 SERIES ????? , and still governor or not u have to fix that issues that i described ;) , the governor is just for some stability and responce , Ok will try and write my review ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
please, this is a DEV thread

read it, or post your question in the general thread, especially when answers are 2 pages before
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Skyback:
I'm reporting my experience with the latest PA build (19Dec).

My setup: Model S50, ICS Bootloader, Portugal.

-> The phone doesn't boot in safe mode anymore. (I think it was due to the GB bootloader).

-> APN settings save without trouble.

-> Data connection works fine.

-> GPS works very well. (Tested with a 25km trip and data, it locked on very well despite the bad weather).

-> Using SMARTASSV2 governor (can't provide battery lifetime yet).

-> Bluetooth no tested yet.

During the GPS test (with data on) the battery went from 82 to 57... (30 minute trip).

If there are any tests to be made please let me know because i'm glad to help in anyway I can. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darksnoopy:
Can someone please report if A2DP (music via bluetooth) works ok? plz plz!!! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
After 48h of usage i can clearly say that batery usage is way better. I'm easyly getting 1 full day per charge on this one. Only data conections drains batery like crazy but i've read somewere that it is a common problem from the data connections themselves. I'm now gonna mess with antutu cpu master and its profiles to see how it goes.

Ben, where is the original bootanimation file located? And what scheduler do you recomend?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
the original bootanimation was removed due to some bootloop.

i might upload it once if requested
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
I was thinking in trying to change the one we see now. Where is that located? I can try to do it and feed you back on how it went. Less one consern for you.

I already tryed to put in another bootanimation in the system folder and it didn't boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
got stuck with last release.

s50, GB bootloader.

I am guessing i need to get the ICS bootloader to be able to flash this rom? :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
In system/media folder

Can someone with a data plan test the app named traffic counter

It's free and allows data usage monitoring.

If possible, can you tell me which interface monitors cell traffic ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
tested several apps, none works ("old" 2.55)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
Confirmed, it's not counting.

The interface is: CTrafficStats
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Skyback:
You will have to get ICS via OTA in order to get the ICS bootloader... That was already answerd.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
I didn't ask any of that, but thanks anyway.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Carlosmff:
So, I have PA 2.55.

If I try to install the latest PA 2.55 ROM I can boot or not?

Do I need to get ICS bootloader first or not??

I'm confused!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Well, the latest release of PA is 2.55 and you need ICS bootloader to if your phone has a Cu S50 (look under the battery). I have a GB bootloader, and i use the rom with the kernel that is not modified (no added guvernors and schedulers) and i get a decent battery life i.e. yesterday i flashed the rom with the kernel (restore.zip) and on one charge the battery lasted approx. 20hours with an hour of talk-time, wifi on, i took also a few photos etc etc.

So, if u have a ICS bootloader no matter what's your phone Cu - PA will boot.

If u have a GB bootloader and you Cu ends with S50 - PA will NOT boot.

Have a nice post-apocalyptic day :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
thats the spirit xD

pitty i can't flash anything except PA now. weird bug bug but i cannot go back to stock :\

Im stuck with "normal" 2.55. which isnt bad at all, quite the contrary so whatever :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Yeasis:
Does the twitch.tv app work on the latest verion? (hardware decoding needed, cant use software decoding)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Carlosmff:
I know lastest PA release is 2.55 (19th dez), but I'm with 2.55 (11th dez) which I installed over 2.51 and I didn't need ICS bootloader from 2.51 to 2.55. My Cu is S50.

I understand we need GB or ICS bootloader. How do I know which one do I have?

My question is: Do I still need the ICS bootloader to install latest 2.55 (19 Dez) over 2.55 (11th Dez) or what??? Because I passed from 4.0.4 ICS FR to PA 2.51 and from this to 2.55.

See, I really wanna install latest release but I'm a little affraid to get stuck on boot...

Sorry all this doubts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
1. The problem with booting comes with the modified kernel - by modified kernel i mean added guvernors and schedulers;

The problem is with S50 devices with GB bootloader.

2. If u have updated your phone to ICS over official update protocol - OTU or OTA -> You have ICS bootloader; Else, you have GB bootloader (with stock 2.3.6. ROM).

3. If you have GB bootloader, you CAN flash the latest release and then flash the restore.zip (which you can find here in this zip file) - unzip it, there are three .zip CWM flashable files inside the zip.

The procedure is:

# Flash the rom

# Flash the restore.zip - restore.zip contains the "clean" kernel without added guvernors and schedulers.

# Flash GAPPS you prefer

# Reboot;

That's it.

Greetings,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
but then, there is no point flashing the latest 2.55 ^^
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
The battery life is better ;) you should consider that :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Carlosmff:
Another quiz question:

My accounts are not auto sync.

Settings -> Accounts

Dropbox sync is OFF

GMail Sync is OFF

They only sync when I manually sync them...

Is there any option to make them auto sync??? I can't find it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
when you are on the screen that says sync is off, press the options button

edit: oops nevermind. when im at that screen, there is a checkbox for turning on auto sync :\
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Carlosmff:
Well, it was worth settled last version. You should try it.

Already have ICS bootloader. No issues booting.

Thanks everyone!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DennisJKA:
Yep, same here.

The latest build boots on S50 devices with ICS bootloader :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheMCP0726:
I've been testing PA 2.55 for a couple of days and i have to say that it is MUCH ways better then H1N1, much smoother and the big amount of features is amazing. :)

Thanks to the developer of this amazing ROM and I find it a little funny that "normal" people brougth Jelly Bean on the OT-995 which the Alcatel developers can't do:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wwenigma:
I try that PA thing, but still not get working GAPPS. How to flash it? Whats the trick? And this trick why not in first post?

Other things: its changed my wifi MAC address... and touch sensitivity not as great as official (nov28) rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
How come u don't get working gapps?

My experience is - every gapps working. either 4.1.2.; or multipack++; or 4.2 gapps.

And another thing. Can u give me a link to a backup from the latest 4.0.4. update (nevermind from where it is, if there is at least English locale included:D)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xdanoob!:
i tried installing the latest PA (dec 19) too then installing latest gapps. whatever i do, the default keyboard always returns an error saying that it stopped. my phone is s50

edit:

i used the multipack++ for gapps installation here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33383098. everything working so far, including the new camera and new keyboard. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wwenigma:
It always put gapps into SYSTEM, and cant use CUSTPACK aka SYSTEM/APP partition... and why change my WLAN MAC address? I try to install again... my phone is 995x-2atnhu3-s50

Here is the latest 4.0.4 backup, its branded (Hungary / Telenor)

mod: latest gapps cant working, KB FC. 121011 is OK. The correct install sequence: CWM CM10 rercovery / wipe all / format system + system/app / install PA zip / reboot recover (do not phone, only recovery) / install gapps ZIP / now reboot and start phone. Settings manager is starting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fogerty4evr:
Well, I think also that the touch is not so good. I installed Next Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ndHAubmV4dGxhdW5jaGVyIl0.

and now the touch feels like it should! Very smooth and the sensitivity is good!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wwenigma:
Ty i try it

WIFI problems... its epic slow. Router is within 1meter:

Hostname - android-785d1fd289013934

Host IP - 192.168.1.220

Host MAC - 00:90:4C:C5:12:38

Bitrate - 5.5Mbit

Signal - -42dBm

And that is not my MAC...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sun0s:
About mac: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917684

About the touch i use holo hd launcher try it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JpbnQuaG9sb2xhdW5jaGVyLmhkIl0.

About wifi: the signal so far so good here my wifi is fast no matter of the stats.

Consider trying this : http://anuragdroid.blogspot.com/2012/11/scripts-tweakscwmslaidyboost-v23.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wwenigma:
Thanks the links but the touch sensitivity is bad, if i move too fast it jump backward. The WIFI signal is OK, near full (-42dBm), but the transmit bitrate is LOW (5.5Mbit).

I soon get a newest official ICS (dec.15 release!) so i just try that, until dl link arrive.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sun0s:
Yeap about the touch you are right ( move too fast it jump backward ), any way the default launcher has bad response thats why i use the holo hd much better. Well its not yet final release thats why we make this notes, step by step gonna be better :)

About the 15 dec ICS release did they manage finally to fix the camera quality? ( if u knew or read it some where ) ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avi3230:
Did anyone tried this procedure??

I just flashed new PA 2.55 (19 dec) and tried to boot but :(

Has to do lot of things to make it work again!!!

Thanks to tumaini418 for that.

Now I want to know did this really works or not???

Is there any battery life improvement? (previous PA battery was very bad)

Can i revert back to my GB (GB battery life is better than any ICS available now. Tried each rom)

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sun0s:
If u don't like to update better wait for some more kernels for PA. ( Also u can use that kernel from this rom for GB with ICS boot loader : http://d-h.st/7zN .. unzip it inside are two kernels. )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avi3230:
Are u sure sir that latest PA 2.55 (19 dec) battery life is better???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
yes i'm sure :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wwenigma:
No. They make some improvements in focus but if need flash, it cant working good. Too strong light using always and bad focusing. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avi3230:
It worked. Just installed new PA 2.55 on GB bootloader.

Now testing the battery life:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Very cool. :thumbup:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avi3230:
Very good improvement in battery life in new PA 2.55.

Browser is very fast and good.

Wifi working for me.

Cons-

Touch sensation probs sometimes very slow.

Doesn't detect the list of networks??? Always have to give APN cause of that maybe.

Camera quality is poor.

Panorama mode is working with flickers and color lines. (even in 3rd party apps like camera JB+ and others)

Video playing giving troubles. (tired many players but no video, can hear audio only)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Morpheuspt:
I can't get any data on battery usage, is this on purpose, not implemented, or a bug on my phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
haha on purpose be sure :)

That function is broken on CM10-based roms.

You should read the OP.

Greetings,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
Cant flash restore.zip.

"Installation aborted."

:(

GB bootloader

EDIT: nevermind im retarded....i need to get the restore.zip that is inside the zip I downloaded x)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avi3230:
tried 4.2 camera but it gives screen lock error after closing.

I flashed 4.1 camera again so now all ok. (panorama shows green lines again.)

Re-flashed the rom but this time without gapps and now getting almost 150mb ram free????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xdanoob!:
slow sd write speed?

already answered. nevermind. sorry guys.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Morpheuspt:
My phone is spending 50% of its time working (not idle) during the night, and spending huge amounts of battery on it. i'm not sure yet if its rom specific, but i'll find out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xdanoob!:
battery usage stats arent available. how are you going to check what's eating the battery? mine consumes quite a lot of battery too, even though it's doing nothing. from 100% to 64% when i slept.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victix11:
[OFF-TOPIC] :P Happy New Year everyone!!! May the best of luck be with you and your family! I Live in Europe, so it's already 2013 :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Morpheuspt:
Although it won't mention which apps are doing it, it does mention the awake/idle time, you can check through there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Could you explain a little bit more about how to view this? I check the app section in the system options but there wasn't that much info to be found.

Since I flashed CM10 (It's kind of the same as pa) my battery drain has increase a lot! Although I like CM10 the battery drain is so bad that it almost makes me wanna go back to H1N1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Morpheuspt:
well you can tell from the battery data at which time was your phone in and out of idle. That should give you an idea of what is going on.

Of course it wouldn't happen if we had actual per app battery data, but i don't know how a core feature of android got overlooked, i supposed it must have been impossible to keep it functioning 4.0.4->4.1.x.

At least for me, its a soul-crushing debate. On the one hand i got battery savings (4.0.4), on the other hand i have battery percentage on the status bar, and volume rocker changing songs on cyanogen (4.1)

Its a tough choice for me, but i really need the volume rocker thing, so i have to focus myself that i WILL need to charge my phone everyday, even if i barely use it.

This phone has no idle time on jelly bean.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
mine does :D i'll share a screenshot from cm10 later.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
Keep in mind that the kernel in CM10 and in PA is not the same. The latest kernel in PA already have governors and therefore already allows for some better battery usage. I'm getting 1 to 2 days per charge with it. As for battery stats, i'm shure it will get done in time, we just must have patiente(sp?).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
The cm10 also has a few governors not all of them but I am using the s50 phone so even if I did use the PA rom I wouldn't get any more governors :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
I also have an S50. It has to do with the bootloader i think.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
First of all, happy new year..

Does anyone else experience problem with playing YouTube videos?

I am running latest release, with GB boot loader on a S50 device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sun0s:
Happy New Year also i don't have any problem at all with youtube.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Because is also have the GB BL and also have a S50 device I went ahead and checked it. When I visit it in the browser the videos stay black and nothing happends. What is extra anoying is that it doesn't even asks if I want to open the video in a other app (youtube app or mx player)

note: I am running cm10 but they are kind of the same

Also it seems like the youtube app does work still its annoying when you are in your browser and click on a link and nothing happens :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
WORKAROUND:

Download youtube from playstore

If not work download flash player from playstore

If youtube and flash fails.... Download a media player of choice

if all that fails try reinstall a clean paranoid for droid rom and repeat.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokka1:
As far as I can tell, flash will not work on this rom oO (hasnt worked for me for a while now)

youtube app, luckily, doesnt use flash
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
YouTube app,doesn't play the videos, it's just shows a black screen

Flash player neither helped,

The browser don't show the option to play the video on a media player

I last night, reinstall a clean Pa latest version,

with the older kernel from the restore.zip (my device is a S50 with GB BootLoader) and Gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).

I also tried Pac Rom (Thanks Ben) with the same Gapps version...and had the same problem!

only in JB Roms have this issue..

anyone have a clue how to fix this???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
cmour, i currently use the PAC rom on a s50 device, and i can confirm that i can view videos (youtube, web etc....). Same with Paranoid Android 2.x and CM10.

Just a thought, I have installed mx player - why don't you try .. maybe it has something to do with codecs and stuff :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
MX player is always the first thing I install when I got a new rom sadly no positive results
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmour:
i tried mx player. The same results..

BUT, today i take error message that the "com.google.process.gapps" apk had stoped.

Maybe is something wrong with the gapps that i flashed or with some backup restore i made after..

i think i must try from scratch and reinstal rom without any backup restore..

Is the gapps version i use the correct one? can anyone confirm that? i flashed the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] moomoon03:
i can confirm i have the same problem

all video on the web don t work(only sound without flash player or bad image with flash player)

i have mx video player intalled

please BEN fix hardware decoding for us please!

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

i have the same gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
a small way to get around the video playing. If you want to open a youtube link in the youtube app ask for the desktop version of the youtube page and it will ask you in which app you want to open the video (browser or youtube app)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maka33:
i see new builds are appeared :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
yes, but only for PAC, not for PA.

i might build an updated PA if requested
