No more Alpha version? The 4.3 rom is more stable?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Primokorn:
I didn't have any inexplicable system crash for a while except on latest nightly when I change DPI.

Most of the time a clean install solves these system FCs.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kkapoorr:
Does a clean install mean wiping system?

What exactly constitutes a clean install?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Primokorn:
With TWRP: Wipe > Cache + dalvik + data + system

I sometimes use this script to format my internal storage.

guys, i'm loving the rom and definitely loving the screen transitions/animations

i was wondering if i was to flash another kernel, would i loose these cool animations ?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] UtkarshGupta:
No

4.3 was always stable

No. Look for it in Verizon forum.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wwwpuntoit:
ok thanks mate,

i know there is no kernel that rules on top of the others, any good ones you have tested though? thanks

I'm on nightly-20130924

When I go to my home screen there's nothing there. I have to go to apps or messaging and then go back before anything shows (clock and apps etc). Is anyone experiencing this issue?

This is from a dirty flash. Just cleared cache and dalvik cache after the flash.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Primokorn:
I've just tried with Trebuchet and Nova but I don't have this issue.

BTW I made a full wipe.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] FizzyBum:
Thanks for checking. The thing is, it would be a cool feature if it was meant

I mean, having your screens looking stock and a hit of a button bring them to life with all your app and widgets.

I think it looks cool anyway, I never said it wasn't annoying but does look cool

I'll flash the next nightly and see if it sorts the issue. If not it's full wipe time

I mean what else can I do........ Go the bammers (I joke, I kid)

early adopters, watch out before downloading nightlies

hi,

i am usually an early adopter of the latest nightlies by following their building

process on DIBS and download more or less as soon as they have succeeded.

i would recommend however to always check DIBS first,

before asking here about new nightlies, as it happens from time to time :)

my subject, however is another one. it happend that i got aware of the fact many

times in the past, that some guys, often up to almost 10 people, are downloading

the latest builds before they were fully uploaded by the buildbot.

considering that, if 5 people have bad downloads per nightly, and then are going

to have trouble with and complain about bootloops and other kinds of strange behavior,

it would be quite an idea to check the file size before downloading, this to avoid trouble for

yourself and then to avoid unnecessary posts and exitement in this thread, especially

when considering the fact that all others can never reproduce these errors, since their

downloads were complete :)

it just came into my mind that this could be one factor which has an impact on

those who have bugs while i for example can say that i had almost never any

of these bugs. for many weeks now the rom on all of my devices ( n7100, i9100, nexus 4 )

has been working almost perfectly, except for the commonly know and confirmed bugs.

another factor which i can see by following all threads for all of my devices, that it are always

the same people who are complaining about various bugs which many cannot second. i will

not mention names to avoid turmoils, but most of these guys are using custom kernels which

"per se" comes with certain handicaps but considering all the tweaks probably done, it makes

totally sense that the rom behaves sometimes not as expected.

i myself as well use franco, dorimanx and thor, depending on the device but never mention

a bug before going to pac-kernel to check out whether it's still there on pac-stock kernel :)

resume, check at least the file size if not the md5 to raise chances for a fine experience
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Primokorn:
There's no md5 checksum on pacman.basketbuild.com website and trying to flash a nightly with wrong size shouldn't work AFAIK.

I agree with your point of view about stock kernel.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
uppss...

hi,

you're right of course about md5, it was more a generel statement, a bit out of topic about downloading zips, albeit in this

specific case there is indeed no md5 checksum, sorry for that one.

the bootloop can happen when trying to install a bad download but however, i'm basically trying to find out why some people over and

over again come across similar problems while most others don't. sometimes it's hard to proof what exactly the differences are, but still

there is a visible pattern and therefore i try to hint to the direction which causes no trouble for me. further since i'm using three quite

distinct devices as for their age, infrastructure and specifications, it is even more interesting that all of them work so well while following

certain procedures.

for example, i always wipe cash and dalvik twice, no idea about the impact, just works and i have not much pitty for those who are too lazy

to wipe at least once and fill the board about dirty installing and things like that. they can try but before flooding the threads with complaints

should first go back and do clean installs.

by the way i very much appreciate your various posts, very helpful and generally accurate :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Yes_:

I have the exact same issue. Is there any solution?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] usbar:
Question?

So why i got a lot of system crash? Generally when ill change the aspect of the status bar or lockscreen?

Voice Control and Bluetooth Device Name

Hello. First off, thanks for this ROM. I'm loving it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else's voice control behave erratically? For instance, no matter which app I use - be it Robin, Vlingo, etc., it turns itself on and off at random times like during a phone call. This is driving me crazy and other than for uninstalling every voice app, I can't figure out a way to turn it off.

Also, I can't find a way to change my device's Bluetooth name. Am I missing it? Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Thanks again for this great ROM!:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abhisahara:
Make sure that the said apps are compatible with the 4.3.

Hit menu when in bluetooth screen and there u can select rename phone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abhisahara:
Thanks for the educating posts. This will really help many people here. Some points-

-The file size will be in the range of 150 to 200MB

-Once downloaded the file try opening the file once in winrar on your PC...if corrupted then it will give you a break operation and similarly eszip viewer will give you error if corrupted.

-Its bit difficult to everytime on the exact time post a md5 checksum here as soon as the nightly us up. But whenever in confusion a md5 can be asked and it will be provided. Like for the 20130926 nightly its 9ca3294b092b454aa63f4d2bacbbcdf3 :)

Thanks again ! :good:

I'm on today's nightly (26.09.) - is it only on my device or is there no touch sound (when tapping on an app-icon on homescreen etc.) ?

Changing settings>sounds>touch sounds is without effect ;(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paulschofield76:
Is there anything in this rom that would kill active apps?

I know Android has its only memory management, but to be more specific I'm having problems with a battery monitoring app. From the logs the developer has advised the app is constantly being killed (which I can now see after adding the apps notification icon, it keeps disappearing and reappearing).

I don't have any task killers, I haven't changed the developer settings regarding background processes, but no other apps in my notification bar have this problem.

Any ideas, please?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SunShiner:
With Gapps I think it's something wrong with the Pac version after 09092013 because updates since then causing Gapps probs.

The phone dropouts aren't network related cause the strength of the service is on max. I think not everybody recognized it cause who uses today the phone to call anybody?! ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cool400:
Does anyone else have the problem, that all widgets and icons on the homescreen disappear - and then come back when pressing the menu-symbol? :confused:

This happens everytime when I leave an app to the homescreen using the home-button! :eek:

When I then press the menu-symbol to switch to the app-drawer, I can see them re-appear again just before the app-drawer opens.

EDIT:

this only happens when I start an app from the app-drawer and leave it to the homescreen pressing the home-button. When I open an app from the homescreen or the quick-start and leave it with the home-button, all is normal and all widgets and icons stay where they should...

I makes no difference if I use the hardware home-button or the softbutton in PIE.

Could anybody tell me how I can turn off this behaviour? Or is it a known bug?

BTW, I love this ROM :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abhisahara:
Well i guess there is some prob with your setup then. Not s single gapps problem. And i use phone for call mostly around 1000 mins every month (as per my bill) and never a single drop unless network has gone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abhisahara:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] FizzyBum:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] CRudner:
I am not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but I have noticed that when my screen is off and I am listening to music I hold the volume key to change track but nothing is happening.

And when I use the Samsung headset with volume control and try to do the double tap on the pickup button it just stops the music rather than change the track.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Maxstate:
You need to enable volume controls under PAC-settings --> Lockscreen. Also if you've flashed stuff like CodexSound, remove it. The reason I stopped using ProBAM is because his soundmod made it impossible for me to use the volume buttons to change music.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
there is no best

hi,

there is no best aosp kernel, they are first off all device specific and second under subjective judgement, depending

on each users specific needs and whishes.

generally speaking, any which is best question does not comply with the rules, it's mentioned in places :)

further there are threads for kernels, this is a rom thread.

however to remain constructive i can say that i'm using thor kernel on my GT-N7100, franco's on my nexus 4 and dorimanx 9.41 on GT-I9100

even when you are going to use one of those on the respective devices it still very much depends on the kind of tweaks you are going to choose.

generally they are perfectly stable when you stay within certain ranges as they are:

don't undervolt, because the benefit for the battery by consuming less power will mostly be compensated by longer tasks, thus

more time on less power or less time on highe power are more or less equal, at least as far as you can recognize it.

don't overvolt more than +0.25. of course you can do more and try the optimum for your device and usage but +0.25 is on the safe side.

for devices <= 1.2Ghz CPU speed don't overclock more than 0.2Ghz to be safe, for devices with >=1.5Ghz CPU Speed choose +0.3Ghz max etc. hope that will help you to get things going perfectly smooth.

generally i can say that following these rules my pac nightlies work well for many weeks now, except perhaps 2 or 3 nightlies that came with known and commonly confirmed bugs. this statement applies to all of my devices mentioned above and all of them on custom kernels, so the probability to get things running well is perfectly high.

regards

PS: from here onward we should use PM or other means of communication to avoid further kernel related posts here, there are already quite too many :)

Similar, how do i prevent the default headset from starting google music, If possible I would like it to default to my audio book player?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Primokorn:
I never saw a PACman setting to choose a player. I think you first need to select the default app for audio files then your audio book player will run instead of Google Music.

For information the button at the bottom of Samsung headset works well to skip tracks. (with Poweramp at least).

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paulschofield76:
I had the same problem. Taking the apk's from a previous nightly didn't work for me, neither did wiping the apps data.

What did work was formatting the system partition (as well as dalvik and cache) and reflashing.

To be honest, most of the small problems I've come across are fixed by wiping system and reflashing. I know some people say to wipe data but I personally don't unless it's a big update. For nightlies, I don't wipe the data.

Hint - wiping system will erase your Hybrid Properties settings so back them up first.

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------

I'm noticing now that if I exit an app with the back button, it stops running. If I use the home button, it keeps running.

Battery monitoring apps no longer work properly, even the Play Store will stop downloading part way.

I'm sure it didn't used to be this way. Has something changed?

Just tried this rom (latest nightly), coming from omega, runs smoothly and has some nice features.

How to install xposed framework ? Got the installer, but gives errors when trying to install it ? Any workaround ? (I would like to use xprivacy and greenify)

edit : nevermind, was using the worng version of the installer.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Yes_:
^^ xposed works fine for me.

I found two things I assume are bugs that no one mentioned:

1. When trying to get to privacy guard >> advanced, always gets error.

2. Appbar sometimes disappear.

Thanks again for this rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
app date it is :)

hi,

almost all the posts mentioning "deleting data" mean and often, unfortunately not always, also say:

"clear data in settings > apps > app which causes trouble and clear app-cache and "app-data"

there is obviously no reason to delete a word file or a movie to get the system running :)

in many years i've never deleted data like music, off-line photos and so on

( i.e. on externel sd-card, sd-card0 and/or sd-card1 or whatever the name is dependingon the device.

so far your statement about not deleting "data" is helpful, but obviously the reason was a missunderstanding about which date

people mean if the talk about deleting them.

therefore i usually use the term: "clear app-data", that's easier for most people to distinguish from other data like

music, photos, etc. on data partitions.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
The OP hasn't mentioned which kernel he/she is using (assuming he/she is using someone else's kernel and not modifying) in which case he/she should at least link to the OP of the kernel being used.

At any rate this isn't GPL compliant and since no kernel source is being linked and thus breaks XDA rules.

I'm giving 24 hours for the kernel to be linked or its source posted. [MENTION=2645674]abhisahara[/MENTION] : If, within 48 hours, either of the two doesn't happen, the thread will be locked till you can procure the source

Good point, so to clarify I wasn't talking about the internal and external storage (word files, movies etc.).
