Thanks, already checking gerrit for merged, but needed some confirmation as I saw kit-merged but still on 4.3, will wait and see
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bunnybash:
Just flashed the latest nightly and wifi signal strength is greatly reduced. Did anyone else notice this?

Another note is that sometimes pacman options uses a crazy amount of battery. More than screen on time! I forgot to get a screen shot of it but will report more next time it happens.

Other than that I love this ROM. It's simply fantastic.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
just curious :)

hi,

probably that's a question for the OP.

following the gerrit i observe that there are almost no more merges for 4.3, which

is ok of course since everyone is probably at work on the kitkat release for pac.

now what i don't know is that:

a) albeit no visible changes are made to the 4.3 rom

anymore there are, with few exceptions, still regular nightlies built every day and

i simply would like to know if these nightlies are simply built automatically albeit

they are mostly identical to the nightly before etc. etc. ?

this would mean that i do not have to flash new nightlies until i see relevant

changes in the gerrit.

b) then, connected to that question, albeit somehow contradictory, i have experienced

changes in behaviour albeit the gerrit did not show any changes, can be due to flashing

itself, no problem anyways but still wondering.

c) last but not least i would like to know if i have to go through that CM-Account setup

procedure everytime i'm flashing ?

i certainly do not want to register for a CM account in the first place, i also don't want

to re-set my timezone each time when i flash etc. etc.

i would prefer if pac would go with full aosp base instead of cm in the future, perhaps

omni as a base to build upon but that's just an opinion added here, just don't like a few

things going on with cm during the last few months.

back on topic, i would very much appreciate if you could get an answer to these three questions.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SunShiner:
For your question regarding why the ROMS are build every day, but nothing changed at gerrit, I may give you the answer:

As I read here or somewhere the ROMS are compiled every day automatically and uploaded the same way. That`s because there are so many people working on different areas in the ROM, that you need to be on auto. ROMS having errors duing compilling have a .log.html, instead of .log . I read that they have rules when and who gonna update what, so that noone of the Users put their devices in real danger.

For OmniRom and the ASOP3+ installaton (Off-Topic): I don`t see the point, because there are just a few things you get benefit of, otherwise you need to reintall/flash GAPPS on every ROM update you flash.

A word for the last posts at all: Nighlies are what the name says, "almost built at night". They not stable, they are for experienced users and/or users are good with some lack in the ROM, but gonna like that the ROMS have faster new features. I have my last update from somewhere this month but not the newest and still have some issues, if the phone restarts itself when the RAM-use is too much, it uses sometimes much more RAM after it restarts, instead of having much apps etc. in use/opened. Sometmes the battery drains like hell, sometimes the battery last like ever (feeling), if I am using it the same way...etc. etc.. I learned from the last updates that a clean installation is recommend, that means like ou gonna fash a another ROM, including "format system". If people wanna have a stable version, use the version marked as stable.

I work myself in a technican job and what the people at PAC and other ROMs doing, espically on Nightlies is really hard work in their freetime. Packing a Nighlies full with new things and don`t let the user walk alone, like maybe it works, maybe not, is really hard.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Luckz:
Every time I try PAC, the first thing I notice is that the launcher will randomly be empty. You can swipe between the (default 5) pages, but there are no widgets/apps. Opening and closing the app list tends to refresh it and thus temporarily fix the issue. Is there a workaround/solution for this?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
Use Nova launcher, it's trouble-free.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Luckz:
So this always happens with the normal launcher on PAC?

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] PrettyJAE.swag:
Do you plan to release final stable release of PAC 4.3? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
I don't think they can, because it is not stable. Even with all unnecessary additions off, the email is choking on the spell checker, camera hangs frequently, and Bluetooth in the car refuses to make calls while playing music (unless you fiddle with it).

This ROM is seemingly usable when you are testing it, but then it let's you down in the field, e.g. when driving or travelling.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] matejdro:
Yup it seems that after some time, apps will go dark, rendering text unreadable. Reboot solves it temporarily.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
Yes, and there is usually a glitch with dome other system application involved before an app goes dark. It is due to inherent problems with Java, I suppose.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] PrettyJAE.swag:
There's still changes on latest 4.3.1 nightlies? Thanks!

6 Jan Nightly - Status bar problems

Anybody seeing problems with the status bar on the latest nightly (which admittedly is the first PAC rom I've flashed)?

* Status bar dissappears

* Status bar is non responsive when you swipe to bring it down (although the clock in the bar continues to update)

I have to go into Settings / PAC-MAN / Miscellaneous and turn Auto Hide Task bar to something (which refreshes it) and then back to off.

UPDATE: The ROM is fairly unsable (for me) in it's current state with the task bar disappearing almost every time the phone goes off (I press the power button or it sleeps).

If somebody could confirm if this is just me or not I'd appreciate it.

I found another issue regarding installing applications.... It's been a while for me installing apps from playstore on my laptop. But today while reading some of my feeds i find an application worth trying. Since my phone is out of my reach, i installed it from the playstore on my laptop. Then after I'm finish with my laptop i reach my phone but the app i installed is not there :( tried it a couple of times still no luck.... Any ideas? Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ChillyChan:
Been using this ROM for a couple days and I have to say it's buttery smooth and very stable, but.. (there's always a but isn't there?) the camera hangs if I have flash on, touch to focus and shoot. Have to reboot to fix it. If I don't touch to focus and shoot with flash normally, the camera works all right so it's not that big a deal. Just want to know if anyone can reproduce my problem.

What's the difference between Gapps and PA Gapps?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
Use Nova launcher to address these issues.

Yes, this ROM is on decline since it was handed power to a new maintainer... It's pretty much unusable at the moment, so I had to move to a new AOSP KitKat.

The move was painful, as the bugs in PAC prevent various SMS migration apps fro working. I had to downgrade it to AR in order to use them...

On the positive side, the KitKat ROM is quite good and stable.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blueivy:
I'm using Nova already.

Which ROM did you move to. I've just moved from RR for the same issues - one area that is so bad that makes it unusable for me, and not much interest in fixing it.

BTW, when I say task bar I actually meant Status Bar.

[ROM][n7100][UNOFFICIAL][4.4.2][2014-01-05] AOKP Kitkat Nightlies

It's a no-frills KitKat, unfortunately not blackened, good thing it has no pie, halo or active desktop; very stable, fast and with future. All my apps work there, e.g. Copilot, VideoReg, car Bluetooth, all Exchange stuff, camera, all sysadmin things, etc. I'm yet to try Google photosphere, although Focal seems to be OK. The battery life is good. Look at my posts there for how I solved a few minor problems.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blueivy:
Cheers for that. Looks interesting. If this bug can't be squashed then it will be time for a move.

I've logged a bug report for the Status Bar issue. Will see if it gets looked at.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
Good luck.

There are many more problems with PAC than the status bar. PAC in black causes apps to crash, the spell checker in email crashes, GPS refuses to work with some apps, SMS backup is hit and miss... It let me down on my trip abroad recently, as Copilot and Camera started to misbehave. I can't trust PAC any longer...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blueivy:
The status bar issues appear to have disappeared (although don't want to jinx it!) since I turned off Active Display. But the Bluetooth issues I had with RR (seen http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48640588&postcount=554) are still there so I need to move on.

The problem I have is that this doesn't look like it's being actively maintained. The last 'enhancement' that was accepted was early December. The last defect was 15 November. I know this is done voluntarily and it's free so I'm not whining. For me I need bluetooth working and since this isn't likely to be fixed in the near future given the state of the bug reporting system, I need to move on.

Nice ROM. Just needs somebody (or more than one person) to pick it up and work on it. Or merge with RR and get a new one moving.

Thanks to whoever started the ROM. It's good and I enjoyed using it.

Announcement

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for not being around for many days (or months i should say). Reasons: I have sold my Note2 as was undergoing some financial crisis due to the process moving to a different city and had to resign from the job :( So needed money and Note2 was the sacrifice. Couldn't even make up to come to xda and do something as was trying to get over the phase and stabilize. Still the battle is on.

On the other note I am pleased to announce that gchild320 will be taking over this thread and more actively support you as he already manages different variants of the Note2. And very soon you all will be having a good news (*wink 4.4). So stay tight and tuned. Have a good romp with gchild320 and enjoy your device with PAC :good:

I will try to be around too ;)

Re: [ROM][JB 4.2.2][PA3.00][AOKP-MR1][CM10.1]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[24/02][V20.0.0]

Hi, sure would love to see root box or jelly beer this stable and almost bug free.

First 4.2.2 rom that is usable for more than just couple of hours to test. But sometimes all those settings messing up one with each other coz some settings repat themselves in various settings and that can be misleading for some stuff. I hope you understand me. Can't explain better. Other things are quite well. Minor little bugs but nothing annoying. Hope battery life would be kind.

And one question. Tried to flash N. E. A. K. and Redpill but only black screen.

So is it possible to flash other kernels?

Try reducing the number of rows for the home screen of whatever launcher you're using.

f whatever launcher you're using.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ChillyChan:
This.

If I set the rows to more than 5, the labels automatically disappear regardless of what I've set in launcher settings.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MadCobbler:
From what I can tell, not much difference, I only put the PA gapps on because someone asked me too, I've never actually used them myself...

I don't know about this one as some people have had success with the NEAK and Redpill kernels and some haven't. You could try and find Thor kernel thats supposed to be pretty good, but you won't find it on XDA as he doesn't like sticking to the GPL rule lol

But if I'm being honest, I'm having no trouble with stock (CM) kernel and battery life is pretty decent ;)

Well I don't mind cm kernel, but all 4.2 roms had pretty bad battery life compared to 4.1 sam. based roms. So when you said pretty decent, can you be more specific.

Can I disable pie and how?

Thanks for fast posts
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MadCobbler:
When I say pretty decent I mean about 2 days with roughly 3 hours screen time... Obviously depends on what I'm doing, I've run the battery down in 14 hours before on this rom, but I was playing a lot of games and had about 6 hours screen time, but on average I can normally get 2 days easily...

And to disable Pie go to settings, toolbars and trigger area, and click on none, that should disable it
