I get " Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" after installing build 05... :( so the google play,etc. isn't working...

i've done full wipe, of course and also calculated MD5 checksum of the downloaded file (was the same).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Please download it from PC directly. I'm not sure whether Uploadingit site can deal with Android's request.

You sure you flashed the new 4.2.1 gapps, not 4.1.2? :P It should not be a problem although I haven't flashed the gapps over build 05.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] superj4:
You gotta flash gapps for this ROM? sorry, i thought if the google play app is there, you don't have to...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
If you upgraded from build 4, which is based on Android 4.1, it could transfer GApps from it to Android 4.2, which isn't quite compatible with them.

You have to reinstall GApps, use these for 4.2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] superj4:
i haven't updated...i did a full wipe...although i will also definitely try to flash gapps and let you know...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Screaming fast!!! Just like your 4.1 ROM.

However, with all JB ROMs I have been suffering problems with news aggregator sites like Flipboard, Currents, etc. With this ROM, Flipboard is definitely faster. It still crashed after about 10 minutes of flipping and I could see the transitions getting slower. I looked at the log dump and I found the stack trace began with hardware renderer. I should have saved it, but I didn't. Just tossing it out there.

I love how I don't have to set atmost 2 processes for the ROM to be usable!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Did you wipe /system before installing this build? Because the backup-tool copies GApps from /system partition.

Wiping /data & /cache is different thing, although it is also mandatory here.

@cn.fyodor: I have 370 MB userspace RAM, not 378. Typo?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Yeah, the browser issue has been proved to be relative with my memory squeezing patch, which reduced the SF size in the kernel and then left a bit more memory for userspace. We're still testing the reverting patch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
So is this Rom usable enough? :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Craven68:
Yes it is ! For me, this rom is the best 4.2.1 on the g2/desire z...i have only some reboot time to time ( this is strange, perhaps it"s an app who did this problem)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
It's been perfectly functional for me ever since Build 3 and right now it seems to be the fastest performing 4.2.1 ROM we have available, which I suppose is to be expected as it's near pure AOSP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] turt1e:
Yep, agree with the above. However I am having one small issue with not being able to hear incoming calls when I'm already on a call. Is that called call waiting? Anyone know if it's possible to change the volume or type of tone that makes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mhnx:
bandwidth limit exceeded, any mirror for the last update? thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Towards the end of the day, I began to see slowdowns. The first sign was SwiftKey was replaced with stock keyboard. Then the lock screen first lost the little circle with the lock in it. After a couple of locking/unlocking, even the time was gone. Many apps will start to launch and then die instantly. I had to reboot to get it usable. Please let me know what data will be useful to debug.

EDIT: Same behavior after I bounced from a Google+ post to a website to a couple of youtube videos.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
I've rebuilt a testing kernel with increasing SF size a bit and restoring VMALLOC_END value. Please help me to test it to check if the problems you met with are still there. Flash it in Recovery mode, using flash_image boot /path/to/boot.img. Or fastboot method to try this kernel if you can do it. Thank you. :)

EDIT: update the kernel and its wifi module.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heydi:
wifi doesnt work after using this boot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Forgot to add it along with the kernel. Now updated in original reply post, please check them out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I am embarrassed to say that I have never flashed a boot.img before. Please give me some time as I figure it out!!

EDIT 1: I figured out how to flash the boot.img, but I got the error:

sending 'boot' (2532 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.439s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.443s

I don't know what to do after this. Let me know.

EDIT 2: I tried the flash_image method via Terminal Emulator and I get:

error scanning partitions: No such file or directory!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hamish909:
Although camera is OK, my video recorder does not work. Press record and nothing happens, is it just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heydi:
yes looks like video recording doesnt work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Oops, recorder b0rked. And I forgot again to say the stock flash_image from AOSP cant work on our vision. Sorry guys, will release a full Rom later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Using fastboot requires the engineering bootloader, which you apparently don't have. I'd suggest getting it as a failsafe in case you can't access your phone's recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heydi:
the rom returns error when trying to use setting for the day dream mode
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Thank you for the report. It's a bug from original Google AOSP. They coded the wrong name of Screensaver Activity. Fixed now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hamish909:
Camcorder is working now, thanks.

i have noticed another thing - I use Opera Mini and Firefox. The problem is after a certain amount of time, or after opening a certain number of other apps, then if I go back to Opera/Firefox I just get a blank black screen, maybe something to do with memory I don't know. I do notice same problem on other JB roms (I've tried Flinny's so far). Not sure if it happens to other apps yet. I would have to Force Close Opera/Firefox from Long Press Home, then reopen it then it would be OK.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
its a general cm 10.x problem my friend with a galaxy s on cm 10 has it too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
Nice responsive & clean ROM, can't get a GPS fix though. fully wiped + EFS before flashing.

Anybody got working GPS?

Sent from my Dz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
gps.config in system/etc is set for europe.pool.ntp.org, change that address to 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org and reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
thanks, i'll give it a try.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
Nope, changing the cps.conf file has no effect - checked my 2nd Dz which is running flinnys 10.1 JB and that has the europe conf and gets a fix just fine.

Got to double check the hardware now to be sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patek:
same problem... no gps, and I am in Europe ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
After two days of using it, I find the same issues prevalent - using Flipboard or Reddit begins to slow down the device. Once, I left Flipboard open and let the phone go to sleep. Waking the device made it really sluggish. I also find that when I receive a Whatsapp message, the phone is slow (it even Hot rebooted once). This is probably got to do something with waking the phone up to display the message over the lock screen. I find that swiping on the home screen does not instantly show me the other lock screen widgets. It takes about 5s before the lock screens become responsive.

But, with the latest update to Nova, the rest of the phone is nice and buttery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terta:
since Build 05, I experience some instability. Build 04 was smooth, it just got slowed down when the phone got online after a longer period of not being connected to the internet (I guess all deamons started to refresh / sync at once).

but Build 05 and also, Build 06 have two problems for me:

- at startup (and if I go online) they say "com.google.process.gaps has stopped" multiple times,

- phone freezes randomly then restarts itself, this seems to be connected to handling calls

(I usually apply the new builds by simply installing the new ROM - so no wipe, etc.)

otherwise, I have to say, love this for the purity :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heydi:
looks like gps doesnt work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonk26.2:
This ROM works great on my G2 so far.

GPS seems to be working fine...in fact, it loaded faster than Andromadus build 131

Maybe I have a later radio.

baseband version 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M

Kernel version 3.0.55+

Build number full_vision-eng 4.2.1 JOP40D

eng.nick.20121214.160226 test-keys
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terta:
have to add this to my problem list ... today I noticed that GPS is also not working for me with the Build 06. (04 was still fine). and BT does not want to connect to the carkit automatically, although they appear to be paired.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ronmq:
Gps is broken here too. I'm in europe with the new radio for this region.

Happy new year for xda forum

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
From 5 to 6, I went without a wipe and the phone was very sluggish. a full wipe made it very fast. Do a full wipe and report any problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonk26.2:
Oops...I may have installed Flinny's AOSP by mistake
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terta:
did a full wipe - problems were still there ... tried reinstalling, and resetting and wiping in different sequences, finally after googling some forums it turned out that the solution is to install the latest gapps package made for JB 4.2.1 :) this solved the "gapps stopped" problem :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terta:
... just tested GPS once more, now that the other problems are solved for me, but still cannot get a fix. the GPS receiver is found, but it sees exactly 0 satellites :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Yeah, GPS doesn't work in Build 06. We must stay with the old jellybean (4.1) branch of qcom/gps repo. GPS Test app can find several satellites now. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MGA2009:
Impressive ROM! Latest AOSP flying on our Desires Z and G2!

Looking forward to future releases with more stability and performance!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the4biddendonut:
Absolutely love this rom, but GPS isn't working for me either. Thanks for this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terta:
oh, so there's a solution on the way :)

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonk26.2:
Sorry about the confusion...I loaded the right ROM and can confirm that the GPS is broken. It's a great ROM otherwise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Third reboot occured today - attached last log. (b6 - full wipe)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] istmar:
Gps doesn't work at all, and the phone slowed down so bad that it made me restore to 4.1.2 which is way more responsive. Thank you for your great work man!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
last_kmsg should be better to debug the random reboot. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Lots of the reboots that are being reported for the other 4.2 ROMs are framework reloads.... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] istmar:
It sucks the link for download doesnt work on the phone so it would nice a mirror?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
This might be the best JB rom yet. Good work. Still testing, but it is faster than the rest, though it does hang sometimes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brettf:
This is a great ROM. So far my only issue experienced is to do with the display brightness.

When the screen is awake and I am using the phone (web browsing or what not), after a certain amount of time (I think the time set for the display to turn off automatically) the screen dims like it's about to turn off and stays at that extremely low brightness even after I lock the phone and unlock it. The only thing that returns the brightness to normal is a reboot. I have tried using manual brightness and automatic brightness, and both produce the same problem.

It seems as though touches on the display aren't resetting the display timeout.

Otherwise, I'm super happy with this ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
flashed the rom. Everything works. But when I received an sms the phone hung and rebooted. After that I couldnt wake the phone and it rebooted again. It is ok now, but i saw the same behavior with flinny's rom too. Somehow the sms is causing instability.

edit: Opened Flipboard and let the phone go to sleep after opening an article. Same behavior as above.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terta:
so after a few days of testing, one issue remains only for me which is annoying - and this is Bluetooth.

since 4.2.1 it became "normal" that my carkit and the phone do not connect automatically (although are paired), but yesterday they even refused this ... I as tapping the carkit in the paired devices list, and even the BT icon in the header became blue (=connected) but when making a call, the phone was not transferring the audio to the carkit (I did not have the time to restart the phone as I had to hurry). the carkit supports both handsfree and A2DP modes, and the item list said to me: "Connected (no phone)". for me it means it could connect as A2DP but not as HF, which is a bit strange, but ... it really did not work as HF :)

will do more testing and get back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brettf:
Thanks

I can confirm that the update has fixed the issues I had with the display brightness!

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Hmm, tbh I didn't directly change any display brightness stuff. And actually I don't know which codes affect this issue. :P

PS, Build 08 still runs a bit laggy here, but I've found out the reason that HW composer doesn't work with 4.2 SurfaceFlinger codes. We're using the deprecated hwcomposer for 4.1 and SF has changed too much in 4.2. So hwcomposer and the corresponding kernel drivers need to be updated to CodeAurora's latest version. Will try later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brettf:
Right, so after a few more hours the display brightness issue showed up again.

Cool, thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Hi,

Thanks fior this ROM.

It has more free RAM than the flinny's one and runs well!!

I was just asking what would be your advice to OC and change governor?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I'm at 0,3-1,4GHz and I left the interactive governor/row scheduler. It's fast enough. :D

Also, the brightness issue only seemed to happen after flashing on top of an existing version of the rom. My current installation is a clean flash and I haven't gotten it as of yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
How do you change it?

I don't have the performance menu...

Do you use an app (No-frills CPU Control or CPU Tuner...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ronmq:
Yes, You have to use a dedicated application for do it for the AOSP roms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] palmwangja:
Why not smartASS? is the interactive is better ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Odp: [ROM][22/01/2013] AOSP - Jelly Bean 4.2.1 - Build 08

Smartass is outdated. Interactive governor has been improved with 3.x.x kernel and is better now than in past.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Been running this for 3 days now. It does seem more responsive, except when waking and unlocking the screen. There is a noticeable lag before the phone comes up to full speed. Using browser based apps (Reddit, Flipboard, browser itself) is more responsive, but I see more speed boost if I swipe it away from recent apps. Not sure if it is a placebo effect or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
It does make sense that you feel more responsive when locking the screen since the hack for the CRT off in the kernel has been removed. And if you swipe something out from Recent apps you will of course see more boost because system totally cleans up the memory holding those apps data.

PS, The new display HAL for JB4.2 is done, still needs more tinking work though. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Sounds very nice :) Was waiting for a 4.2 ROM. Will wait a bit so those display bugs are ironed out....

When you say "Bluetooth generally sucks", its sucks for what? I currently need hands free on my phone as it is illegal to use it nonhandsfree....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] StopSpazzing:
I confirm that adhoc is NOT working. So far, every free ad-hoc wifi tether app such as barnacle, open garden, wifi tether, doesnt work. I have to get a lite version of a paid app to get it working.

Really need this working...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jpasiczn:
Build 08 is very stable for me. Havent managed to crash it yet.

Only issue is I cannot turn off vibration for notifications!!! I go into settings for each and every app, messaging, google talk, gmail, etc, and turn vibrations to "never" but it always vibrates! I hate vibrate, and I don't need a notification noise. Any ideas what is going on here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ellises:
Build 8 is also very stable for me, a lot more stable then Flinny's CM10.1 port, I just miss the CM features like themes or status bar adjustment.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
I only miss some performance settings, status bar swittcher and 4 way reboot.

SMS popup and T9 dialer, but i prefer it lijke that because more responsive!

waiting for build 9 ou RC1!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Did you try to enable silent option on quick boot menu? No problems here..

It's AOSP based ROM, all you required will not be implemented unless Google are willing to do so. I suggest you both go flash Flinny's CM10.1 builds instead if you can't live without CM features. xD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
You didn't get it!!

Yours is just 10 times better than flinny's one for me. I was just explaining what usefull tweakes where missing in yours!

But my point is that even without that things, yours is way better!

Edit : Flashing Beta 9 made me loose my settings...

I've been punished :o)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
Bluetooth seems to be working for me on Flinny's build. I wonder if those fixes can be incorporated. I will admit however, I haven't tried this build I will flash it later today and report the results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
Just flashed build 09. While it's pretty fast, it has lost the ability of finding my wifi accespoints. This was after a full wipe before flashing. Anyone else experiencing the same problems? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
In fact, it make me loose my settings and all my apps!

Am I alone?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sgkagathara:
I have an INDIAN Xperia Neo V device currently running on

4.1.B.0.431

firmware. I am thinking of rooting it, for which I require

4.1.B.0.431

and

4.1.A.0.562

kernel files, INDIAN version.

Any idea from where I can get them? I tried searching and downloaded a couple of them but they seem to be international versions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
There is only Internation version kernel files available.. Download those files and root your phone..

sent from Xperia neo V using XDA Premium
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sgkagathara:
Thanks for reply, mate! Now I guess the "i" in MT11i stands for 'international'.

Thanks again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
yup MT11i = International Version & MT11a = America :)

and for your information 4.1.B.0.587 is available for download, why dont you update first then root your phone.... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
it doesnt matter..as Samak said..

U can flash international, nordic..etc..evrything will work fine..

I think i flashed nordic .587 coz .587 was not available in India at that time..atleast for my SI..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sgkagathara:
Thanks for all your inputs guys! I was able to root with available international kernel.

My phone had previously notified me about 4.1.B.0.587 update available. But since I needed to go back to 4.1.A.0.562 for rooting, it made no sense to update. So now I'm having a 4.1.A.0.562 kernel on rooted device. And loving it!

Thanks again guys!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
dint you flash back .431 kernel??

I dont understand..ur on .431 fw with .562 kernel??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Why just .431 kernel...

He can very well flash just .587 kernel that won't have any issues with root.(don't flash entire fw..you'll lose root @ OP )

Hi,

As I changed my Gel case for a thin TPU one, I now have a small problem

I'm using a budget screen cover and all around it, there is a 3 to 5 mm zone where there isn't any protection.

I didn't notice it earlyer as the case was a lot more thick...

Could you please advise me a clear screen cover which is closer to the border of the phone ?

*

The pic isn't great, but shows the problem
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Geekgirrrl:
Funny just received my skinomi for note 2, it covers the entire screen. S-pen works, don't press to hard to void the squeak.

I have used skinomi for every gadget I own, but I since I have a cruzerlite case I need a screen protector that does not cover the entire screen. :)

Tmobile SGH-T889 using xda premium.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] laloutre:
OK one for skonomi

Anyone else?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
You may want to check out the Just Like Glass. I haven't seen or used it myself, but the CEO does come on here and discusses the product.

From what he says, it's designed to leave 1/16" around the phone so people can use it with cases, such as a TPU, and not have the case push on the edge of the protector, per user requests. Sometimes, the cases push the protector up, which can lead the dirt getting under it or peeling.

I'm going to order one when they become available again, which is expect next week. I'm coming from using Zagg protectors the last four or so years.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] laloutre:
That sounds great! Exactly what I need. I'm gonna have a look at it
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Most screen protector manufacturers don't go all the way to the edge because of the rounded glass samsung used. I can attest to this, you don't want a protector up that far on the glass, because it will peel after a few times going in and out of your pocket. I only had this happen with wet application protectors (Ghost Armor and Zagg HD are two I used, both failed). I switched to SGP's Ultra Crystal, which feels like the original glass and doesn't reach the rounded part.
