Re: [ROM][4.2.1] PAC-Man ROM v19.9.0 ~AOSPA + AOKP + CM10.1~ | PIE | Hybrid | (2/8/13

The point of using Odin to go to stock was to get the stock bootloaders back if i remember rightly.

Once you get away from touchwiz i don't think you'll want to go back. I haven't gotten to flashing the 4.2 version of this Rom but the 4.1 version has been so awesome and stable.

I haven't personally flashed any touchwiz Rom's after going to AOSP but i think there would be more chatter over problems and more threads discussing it.

Since you were asking about restoring apps with Titanium backup... You can restore any /data app that doesn't rely on touchwiz it will work fine. titanium backup gives the /data apps the gray text. /System apps are given a red text color. Apps that rely on touchwiz will probably not work. like something like Polaris office probably won't work, I wasn't able to make it work. Or for another example I wasn't able to use a /system note taking app from the asus transformer.

You can always experiment with individual apps, but restoring any /data app you will be good to go. Oh and don't bother making backups of /system apps or settings, it's really not worth the time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidDude24:
Ya that was why. I just wanted to make sure that if i wanted to flash a touchwiz rom on top of this, i wouldnt have to odin flash it back to stock. Yes ik, when i had my captivate, i flashed miui and never went back. And ya i got the apps, that wasnt a problem. I have mybackuppro. And i only restore like normal apps, not system or settings. Thanks for advice.

No problem, I'll give free advice all day. Always interesting to see someone who went from captivate to s3. That's the route i took.

After being on aosp for so long i can't stand touch wiz.

I can't wait till i have time to flash this Rom.

I am a member of the PAC-Man organization on github here: https://github.com/pac-man

The only thing left is a2dp. I have cherry-picked this kernel fix as a temporary workaround for wifi tethering.

We track mostly CM stuff.

Does the a2dp issue reside in audio-caf? I have yet to look into it, but I've searched through d2-common and the flags for bluetooth are the same with CM and AOKP. I have a test build building right now using AOKP's audio-caf to see if it fixes the problem, and if it does then I'll change the manifest to track it instead of CM's.

Thanks! And it is interesting. The captivate was an amazing device. I flashed so many roms on it. I know what you mean. But from the captivate to the S3, Samsung has made some big improvements. And this rom is very stable, happy to be on 4.2.1.

I have uploaded a new build of PAC-Man 19.9.0. I have cherry-picked a commit that fixes wifi tethering.

Attached catlog for email lockup. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjah:
I clean installed this on the 4th. Stock settings, used the latest Euroskank gapps, no apps or settings restored, and no greenify or anything of the sort. So far, it's been exceedingly slow, clunky, and apps freeze or just reset themselves frequently. I even redownloaded and reinstalled, thinking it was some problem on my end, but to no avail. This is no knock on you, manfromgta - I think it's just our phones.

I concur on the email lockup thing. That's exactly what Gmail does to me on this rom's latest release - stops working or freezes at random, then I get a popup saying either it closed or it's not responding.

Plus, this release is giving me really bad battery life. I mean like 25min screen on time and the battery dying in 8hrs. The primary partial wakelock culprits are:

*alarm* (CM System)

*alarm* (com.android.providers.calendar.Calendar Storage)

*alarm* (com.CM.trebuchet.Trebuchet

*alarm* (Google Play Services)

GCoreFlp (Google Play Services)

*alarm* (com.CM.eleven.Music)

etc. for like 20 different *alarms*

The fastest battery drain occurs when off WiFi. Anytime my phone has to rely on its radio, it chugs power like a MadMax roadster chugs guzzleline. I have three separate batteries that I've purchased, two since 5.0 was released, thinking my battery was dying when in fact it's just the damned OS. It's not the batteries.

Comparing these LP releases to the previous releases, it's stunning how much we've lost in terms of functionality, speed, stability, and battery life. I may just go back to one of Pwncakes' 4.x.x releases just to get all of that back, until I find a new phone to buy. Sorry for the rant, I've just been entirely nonplussed with all the LP roms, and yours was the latest I've tried.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] anil2653:
FC of applications like Gmail are happening with other ROMs too as I experienced with multiple Rom so I feel it may be issue with cm latest build
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tdotdot:
There may be something else going on with your phone. Only the earliest lp builds gave me the trouble you described. Other than that it's been decent. Though the latest builds of pac and other roms have been draining the battery a lot. I think this is more to do with the gapps and Google than the rom itself though. Looking through the commits, I don't see anything that would have changed battery but I may be wrong.

But in my experience, the lp battery lasts as long as TW.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] miatawnt2b:
I'm using the gapps from the link in the OP. I wonder if another gapps version or dist would fix the email issue. Anyone use slim gapps with this rom?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tdotdot:

Ok people listen up. I am running a test build. (09/09). I haven't been able to crash gmail. Battery is better than earlier releases. Nardholio (our stock kernel maintainer) has added 34 commits since the latest PAC d2 public release. [MENTION=825978]ganjah[/MENTION]. You should go back to a ROM version that you are happy with. This is beta testing. One day ROM will be butter next day maybe not. If it frustrates you so much don't use beta ROM's. Come back when we are at a stable state.

I will be syncing and building this weekend. Until then. Cheers!

Please provide your baseband version, model number and the date of PAC ROM you flashed.

Is the Sim known to work before you flashed?

Have you tried cleaning contacts or reinserting Sim?

What ROM are you coming from? (If it wasn't PAC then clean flash required.)

Phone model is SGH-i747, baseband: I747UCDLK3. The Pac Rom I installed was from 9/20

The sim worked when I flashed back to my old rom. I tried a different lolipop rom and the sim didn't work either.

I am also having a bluetooth problem that says bluetooth share has stopped which also happened in the other lolipop rom I tried.

I did do a clean flash and tried cleaning the contacts of the sim.

I have a new sim card which I put in the gs3. It no longer says "no sim" but I don't have any service. Do I have to activate the sim to get service?

I've seen that when the rild in a ROM isn't working right with the modem on a device.

The I747UCDLK3 modem you said you have dates to android jellybean 4.1.1. Most people have updated to kitkat bootloaders and modems to get everything working right on the 5.1.1 based ROMs.

Before you flash anything verify the bootloader version on your phone. You can do this with the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play store, or by entering this in a terminal:

getprop ro.bootloader

The newer bootloaders (end in MJB, NE4, NJ1, and now NJ2) cannot be downgraded. Messing with bootloaders and modems is the #1 way to hard brick this phone. enewman17 has posted everything you need to update the firmware on this phone, but you have to follow his instructions exactly or updating this manually can go poorly. Alternately, if you're not on one of those newer bootloaders mentioned above, you can Odin back to stock and take OTA updates until your firmware is up to date.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
It shouldn't be so complicated, but Samsung's newer bootloaders and AT&T's refusal to release full firmware packages for their subsidized devices make it tricky. I don't know what AT&T thinks they're protecting, their secret formula for bloat? Maybe they think not releasing firmware discourages modding? All it really does is make it hard for most people to recover when AT&T's OTAs soft brick devices. At least we have an easy way to root and the bootloaders aren't locked like on most of the newer devices they offer. This will be the last phone I get through AT&T unless they change their ways (and we know that is not going to happen).
