Hey guys sorry for my absence. Its been nuts in pac land. Getting Jenkins fully setup for builds, getting gerrit working again, migrating to a whole new server and it crashing twice forcing us to start over each time....I will try to monitor this thread more for issues and chat more as time allows but Tbh I head pac as a whole now so I spread really thin. For best answers please use g+ for bugs and such as all the devs including me monitor it all day and night.

With that said welcome to pac 4.4 its been a long road. Lots of the this ROM have been built from the ground up. Brand new kick ass boot animation. Unified device now so all bugs will be easier to squash and more consistently as well.

The old folders on basket build will be condensed and moved to the d2lte folder tonight as to stop and confusion.

If you get status 7 error when flashing that means your recovery is out of date (this happened to me (1 year old recovery ftw Lol)).

If you have any features request please post them on PACs g+ with links to the commits from other teams feature you want brought over. Fyi we don't use features that are still open from other teams. Once merged we will consider any feature.

Lots of features still being worked on and will be merged once ready.

Peace

I downloaded and flashed the latest nightly and I've noticed that, when I reboot, the navbar keeps appearing even though I've turned it off. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced that issue?

Having said that, I wish I had been on this ROM sooner. It has all the best parts of each ROM, and since it's a build of CM 03042013, it makes me feel like it's a stable build. I am looking forward to putting this ROM through its paces.

So tried flashing 3/05. Wouldn't flash. Unfortunately twrp screwed me over and I couldn't boot so I was bootlooping. Then I couldn't restore my twrp backup. finally got philz on my phone and flashed 3/04 now and it's working.

Anybody has Theme Chooser working? I'm in the 03/05 nightly and did a clean install and it won't apply any themes
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
Its a known bug and they're working on a fix now hopefully it shouldn't take too long tho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] andrewnelson23:
How did you get 3/05 to flash? It would never flash for me. But 3/04 did.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mexicandroid:
Thanks, I was just making sure because I had mentioned earlier and somebody said their was working right

I just flashed it through TWRP like normal, did you get an error message or something or what did it do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] andrewnelson23:
Yeah it just wouldn't flash. I don't think it was status 7 error. I've had the updated recovery forever now. I tried both twrp and philz touch recovery. Musta had a bad DL of the rom. Shoulda checked the md5.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mexicandroid:
I flashed the first 03/05 nightly posted around 5pm but I see there was a second posted around 1am but I have not flashed that, I restored my old rom for now, I can't be without my Easy Day Theme lol. I downloaded the second 03/05 nightly but haven't flashed it yet. Let me know if you want me to test it maybe it's just the zip corrupted on their side.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
I just flashed the 3/5 nightly, everything good so far. Some thoughts:

Hybrid properties/HALO - I know neither of these are currently active in AOSPA, but are there any plans to implement? HALO is pen source and could be added at any time (even just porting the version from 4.3 PAC would be awesome)

Status bar tweaks - some notable options missing from 4.3 (center clock, am/pm/weekday, etc). Also, any plans to add a color picker for status bar icons?

PAC OTA - I assume this is like the 4.3 updater, where it notifies you an update is available and the downloads the full zip. Any chance of implementing compatibility with OpenDelta (used by Omni) or CyanDelta (play store)? These reduce download size from 150mb+ down to 30mb or less on most days (unless there is truly a massive amount of changes). With delta updates I will flash every nightly. Without, I usually only have time once or twice a week.

I hope this doesn't come across as greedy on entitled. You guys all do amazing work and I'm happy to be along for the ride. Just posting some observations/suggestions from pac4.3, other 4.4 Roms, and a few xposed modules.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HolyGhostBoy1:
just want to ask what are the features of this kitkat pacman rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mexicandroid:
From what I understand if the rom they are taking the feature from hasn't implemented the feature on their own Kit Kat rom they won't implement it on Pac Man rom, that's what they mean if the feature is still open, I think Paranoid Android had not yet added Hybrid Properties themselves last time I flashed their rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
Yea, pa android roms dont yet have the hybrid properties themselves on kitkat, also the PA android team has already announced that Halo is dead (well, they gave a sneak peak that something there working on will replace it) and it is not in the PA nightlies anymore.

Here is an interesting question though, obviously pacman stands for Paranoid, AOSP and Cyanogen mod but I wonder if they plan on including anything from the new omni rom into there roms. Alot of the features such as multi-window are now starting to become pretty common in custom developed roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mexicandroid:
Of course they will add other features from other roms, dark feature came from Slim Roms and Omni Switch came from Omni Roms, they will continue to add more features as time goes, the rom just came out this week, can't wait to see what's other features they add.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ayassine:
why does my call log show as empty even though i have had missed calls?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipher26:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lunatixz:
Anyone having issues using cm11 themes? They don't seem to apply on latest pacrom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
Issues on 3.6 nightly-

Navigation bar randomly enables itself, ignoring setting in PAC Pellets

Theme chooser. Doesn't show theme preview, doesn't apply either.

Breaks statusbar clock color xposed mods (gravitybox not able to color the clock, xutilities causes systemui FC, both modules are fine on CM11)

Other than that things are good. ROM runs very snappy on stock kernel, haven't tried dkp yet. Animations and list view look awesome.

All of the download links are 404 ing. Bummer :(

Edit: Click to go to the root of the download server, then find d2lte and go into nightly and download. It worked then.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
This ROM has been out for less than a week. There isn't a stable version, nor will there be for a while most likely. Patience is key, especially for a ROM including so many different components.

The link you posted is for the 4.3 version, which is stable in the sense that it isn't actively being developed.

Signature verification

I rooted my Sgh-t999L today with chainfire's auto method and that went smoothly. But I downloaded and tried to flash PAC and got the "cannot verify signature" message and was wondering if I did something wrong? And what can I do to fix it? Any help is aprecciated. Also, if it helps I'm on 4.1.2, I believe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
You have to update your recovery to the latest version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
I'm using stock recovery so wouldn't it already be latest?

*Edit* That was dumb of me. I should say, this was from the chainfire autoroot thread, official, and that's the latest update for the stock so I'm not sure where to get an update... Suggestion?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
If you are rooted, you should have a custom recovery installed. Its usually included as a step in any of the rooting tutorials. The most common ones are TWRP or CWM. To check, you can turn off your device and hold the volume up, home button and then hit the power button at the same time.

The easiest way to install a custom recovery is to install the goomanager from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager. Once installed hit the menu/install open recovery script. The stock recovery will not let you flash custom zips or wipe the data or anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
Alright so I did that (fascinating app btw). When I try to install a recovery script it says one wasn't found. So where do I go from there? I should probably be forthcoming and say that after the chainfire rooting I went and flashed CWM, so when I boot into recovery I see the CWM stuff, but my phone will not let me flash the SU as I cannot find it on my sd card, or any of the other zips I have on it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
If you have cwm installed, there should be an option to flash a zip from the sd card. I personally use twrp (which I recommend) and you just tap the button to flash a zip. If there is a problem with su then twrp will detect it and attempt to fix it. I could be wrong but I think cwm requires the zip to be in a certain folder on the card, its been a really long time since I used cwm. Using goo manager, you should be able to flash trwp easily though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
Yes I believe you were right about needing to put the CWM SU in a specific place. While in recovery, I have the option to install a zip from my SD but it doesn't recognize my external, which is what I was putting my zips on. I had to store it on the phone itself. This may or may not have been a bit of stupidity on my part, but I have CWM SU now, and then I'm going to try flashing PAC so I'll update in a bit. I do have a question though... Part of the instructions for flashing new roms is to wipe the data, and if my zips are stored to the phone, then won't wiping everything delete those as well?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
The problem is that you have the T999L, and the automatic install from goomanager only works on the original T999.

On your pc, go to goo.im. search for d2tmo. You want to download the latest twrp (2.7.0.0) in tar format, should be the first or second link.

Once you have it downloaded, open Odin like you are going to flash a full firmware. Instead, put the twrp recovery file in the PDA slot. Then flash.

This won't erase your data, and it will allow you to flash just about anything.

The issue is that goomanager identifies phone by the build.prop. on stock+root T999L Roms, this is reported as T999L, which would be fine, except that T999L recovery doesn't exist. Goomanager doesn't know that, and it won't download the recovery for a different phone, meaning you must do it manually.

Note that once you flash PACman, it will report T999 in build.prop.

Dode.... Thanks for the input. Flashed TWRP (never used it before, I'm a CWM guy but I like the interface anyway) and that went well. Just flashed PAC and I'm not bricked or anything, staring at a beautiful home screen. Thank you a bunch!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mabuis:
Best Rom ever!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
I'm going to have to agree with you there. I do have a couple complaints/questions though, after messing around for the last hour getting used to things. 1. Is there no way to have a set lock screen background? Because mine is just whatever my home background is. and then 2. I also don't see a way to set a wallpaper for the default texting app? I could be missing something but... At the very least these aren't major issues, so it's not a HUGE deal... BUT customization is supposed to be this rom's strongsuit and unless I'm just having a dense moment, these are two big things to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mabuis:
Hmmmm... not sure about the texting app, I use Handcent (Best one IMO) and I didn't see anything for the lockscreen
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
Has anyone experienced battery issues running the ROM? Mine seems to be going down at a rate I find less then pleasant. Also, could someone please recommend a kernel to flash that might improve my battery life?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] numbawon:
Anybody flashed any kernels yet? What ones work, what ones don't? I read over on ktoons kernel thread, its not working on PAC.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
Is the networks label working yet?

Edit:nvm I see they are fixed on 3/10 nightly:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
I've found another problem, this one being a bit more important than lack of customization or somat. Sometimes when an app requests super user access, my phone will flip its s*** and send me the request about 30-40 times. Sometimes I just get the little notification at the bottom requesting and sometimes I get a whole page pop up requesting. The latter is especially annoying to have happen 40 times in succession. I don't know if someone has reported this or not before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tomb77:
I've had the super user issue with other 4.4.2 ROMs. Sometimes just going into su stops it or having su forget the app, then either applying permissions manually or reentering the app for the request.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
Alright thank you for the affirmation. Other than a couple things here and there the rom is beautiful. I've come to expect this from PAC.

Also, can anyone recommend a place to find some flashable custom boot roms? I can appreciate the creativity that went into PAC's but I think its a little over the top. I much prefer the old one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k00lguy105:
Why does it say d2lte now? I'm guessing this isn't for d2tmo anymore?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aosimon:
It is still good for d2tmo. The S3s just got lumped together and the ROM is a unified version now. So flash away with no fear!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Notorious:
All d2s are unified now. So d2lte works on all the d2 variants now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k00lguy105:
Ok, now I don't know why I got an error trying to do a clean flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aosimon:
Which recovery are you on? I had to upgrade TWRP to 2.7 to not get any errors.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k00lguy105:
I upgraded TWRP to 2.7 and did a full wipe including user data before trying. I ended up putting Carbon 4.4.2 but the battery life is horrendous < 4 hours today, I'm on my 2nd charge at 73% with minimal use and it ain't even dark yet. I rather run PAC-Man.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
Oh, I just remembered. I cannot use Netflix at all. Most times the app will force close and blame the split screen, other times it'll ask me to login and then force close immediately after. Customization issues are small compared to this... I cannot live without my netflix, and my computer is a piece of crap netbook that can't run it. Could someone please take a look at this?

Also does anyone know if the new nightlys are any better? I haven't seen anything about them recently.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mabuis:
Same here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mexicandroid:
If your an Xposed user you can install this all to get Netflix to work correctly, works perfect

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Devastration:
Okay thank you very much for the confirmation. I'll be installing this after school. :p Also, I flashed the 3/10 nightly (I think) yesterday. Stable, and my battery life seems better. Also haven't had the pesky SU loop. Do have a problem with the quick reply system for the default sms. Sometimes it won't send my message and will crash what I'm doing.

Side note, can someone recommend a kernel to flash that is compatible with this rom? I'm looking for anyhting to do with increased battery life. I've heard some stuff about ktoon something or other but don't know much.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mabuis:
Ktoon won't work with this ROM. I've tried BMS and got crappy times. I've been sticking with stock and using the built in performance control. As for SMS, try handcent. Best client IMO
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aosimon:
I'm using Quantum and it's running quite fine. A couple good governor choices that balance battery and performance. No complaints at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
DKP kernel running just fine on latest nightly as well. Using Freelunch/zen with -25mV undervolt,

All my previous issues have been fixed with the current nightly, with the exception of Theme Chooser (which is a known issue). Thanks for the great rom.

One question: can this rom be made to work with OpenDelta (from Omni) or CyanDelta(Play Store) ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k00lguy105:
Are Themes not working yet? Cause I tried three different themes and Themes just crashes...and what happened to that option where I can change per app DPI and status bar colors and what not?

Also reboot to recovery, download and turn off from power menu just reboot the phone.
