I found my new favorite rom !

It's loaded with features (As expected) and runs just as smoothly as other 4.4 roms I have tried.

I'm scoring 17427 in Antutu Benchmark for reference.

BTW, I love that boot animation.

I'm totally not embarrassed to say that I reboot my phone a couple of times today just to watch it.

Hyperbole does not a good post make.

We're not complaining, we're merely wondering where features went and if they are coming back. This is a brand new version, so there's lots of unknowns. Is it wrong to inquire about the status of certain features that we were using in previous versions but aren't apparent or available in this one?

I may not have typed the words "thank you" into this thread recently, but that doesn't mean I have no gratitude to the devs behind PACman (and the trunks they pull from).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdagreek:
I think it all comes down to communications ...

I love the 4.3 PACMAN Rom ... which I am reinstalling NOW ...

I wish I would have known or had a heads up that the features would not be here ...

I am getting reboots .. can't find and on the PA features anywhere "PAC MAN"

Also having problems with the network going down and up I thought CM had this fixed the 4.3 PAC MAN version is PERFECT I love it !!!!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Greycloak42:
I tried the 3/4 quantum kernel with Pac and battery life was incredible, however it breaks screen recording. Just flashed 3/2 quantum kernel and its back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdagreek:
I can not understand how they get such GREAT results with the battery! My battery with build 3/5 is lasting at least 2x longer than PACMAN 4.3.

I also will acknowledge that GPS is locking FAST very FAST and reliable.

I notice that when I turn on lock screen notifications with wake then the LED does not notify any longer ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Reechings:
Very excited by the looks of this ROM but themes are not working for me and I can't reboot or power off through power menu. All it does is soft reboot and I have to hold power button down to actually reboot.

Tapped it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlothlyDX:
4.3 is definitely not as good as 4.4. I have had no crashes, no complaints, and battery is great. The only thing I can possibly see as a bug is the theme chooser isn't working. Other than that this rom is rock solid. Very smooth and no issues that I can see. PA in my opinion is of the past. I never liked the PA options to begin with. I guess you can say the only thing missing from PA is the hybrid options which caused more problems than it was worth, which is why they probably gave it up. PA has really died in these recent months but they have some big plans. Incorporating the old into the new in my opinion is not worth it. Waiting for PA to do their thing and then taking into the rom would be much simpler and satisfying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daver68:
I think I had the same problem as you. In my case, it was as simple as returning to the Buttons menu (Settings > Buttons > Power menu) and disabling "Reboot menu", rebooting (holding power button), then re-enabling it again (rebooting again after).

I don't know specifically why that worked for me, but it did.

Heh, funny how I am very the opposite in this regard. 4.4 is definitely really smooth, stable, and so far battery life seems to be good - hard to really tell about battery life with only 2 days though.

However, I never use the theme options, I never have since my first Android phone. Instead I use the Hybrid options all the time, or at least ever since I started using Paranoid Android on my Nexus S. I use it for testing web applications in Chrome to test the responsive design. Being able to quickly switch between "phone" and "tablet" interfaces was paramount to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm able to do the same thing with Xposed App Settings, but it's not as seemless as opening the Quicksettings panel and tapping the Hybrid settings tile.

This is currently the only issue i am having on the 03/04 version ... will try the 03/06 nightly to see if it is any better.

Doesn't Paranoid put the P in PAC?!?!? I don't hardly use any of the PA features that I know of but I love this ROM because it Offers the best of all Roms. No complaints from me, I Greatly appreciate the hard work you guys put into making these ROMs. Hopefully we will start to see some of the features we had with 4.3 added back in little by little.

I get the same error, blame Split Screen, when trying to load Netflix. Battery Life was great for the couple days I tested it. Has anyone found an option to stop lockscreen rotation?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thejust:
only thing i found was to add rotation lock to quick settings and toggle on and off when needed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
Couple of issues I found (as of 3/06 nightly build)

: Dialer - Calls don't log into history

: Sounds - "Link ringtone & notifications volumes" doesn't work properly. They don't remain in sync. (This issue is present in other roms as well so it's likely in the CM base.

: LTE issue still persists (workaround is to toggle LTE quick tile after a reboot).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Smurf151:
Lol you guys are funny....yes this builds every night on jenkins...jenkins.pac-rom.com.

PA features are not added due to pa not having them. The dev who did hybrid half started it for 4.4 and has gone mia last I heard. How do I know....one of pac devs was helping him at one point.

To see what's changing between nightlies look here

Changelog.pac-rom.com

Yes call log is broken...trying to fix

Yes some themes are broken....trying to fix.

That's all I gots right now

+1 Very annoying when someone is calling me for something important and all I can do is watch the call get missed while smashing the phone trying to tap the notification away.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Greycloak42:
The solution has been posted. Go to call settings and disable the non intrusive option.

Just checked the gerrit. It looks like the fix for the non intrusive option has been merged.

As of the 3/6 nightly the option should be off by default.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdagreek:
I have loved the PACMAN ROM's wanting to go to the KitKat base ... so I am diving in I have tried 4 different KitKat ROM's what I am noticing is they are all similar not really any difference between the different kitkat ROM's they all have CM 11.x and pretty much have the same problems.

I guess the PA developer is gone which sucks that's why I use this ROM the Hybrid settings ...

debating now if I should go back to my last favorite stable release of the 4.3 pacman

I am trying another ROM that is including the per app settings which I may have to use since PA is gone for the 4.4 Kit Kat ....

The one thing that really amazes me is that I don't understand what the big deal is with kitkat what are the new features ???????????

Honestly kitkat is all under the hood stuff the naked eye wouldn't see. It's overall better but everyone seems to be trying to start over again. Same with PA. They made some big changes and declared halo obsolete and I believe hybrid settings too. So I would not expect those back anytime soon.

Maybe I'm just blind, but I couldn't find anywhere in the Settings or Pellets the ability to disable the lockscreen rotation? I am finding that with lockscreen rotation it takes about 5 seconds between hitting the power button and the screen actually turning on. It appears that the rotation is really lagging with the lower processor clock speed when the screen is turned off?

The 2/10 nightly requires a clean install (wipe data) due to changes related to the contacts database ( HUGE rollback according to their G+ page).

Dirty flashing will result in continual MMS / telephony FC popups.

What worked w/o issue for me :

0.) Backup Call Log, SMS message in XML format with Titanium (along with all other non system apps)

1.) Clean install (wipe cache, dalvik, system, data)

2.) Download Titanium from Play Store then restore what you backed up.

DISREGARD ... TRIED AGAIN AND THE 2ND TIME FLASHING WORKED WITHOUT ISSUE.

FYI:

Dirty flashing the 3/12 nightly on top of the 3/10 nightly (there was no 3/11 nightly) causes a continual "com.storage.calendar" FC

Clearly data / cache in the app didn't help.

So you will likely need to do a clean install with the 3/12 nightly.

BeanStalk KK ROM had more advanced customizations for Quiet Hours which allowed quiet hours to be over-ridden if someone on your contact list calls you two times in X minutes, or if they text you with a special code in the SMS message. Is that possible to add into this ROM or is that something specific to BeanStalk?

I've noticed problems with my data connection since I flashed the 03/17 nightly. I'm not exactly sure if it's due to the nightly, but I did restore my phone to my last existing backup (03/15 nightly).

But my data still seems to be inconsistent. It will only ever connect to the Edge network.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

In addition, I don't know if this is a stupid question, but is there a way to 'recalibrate' the data connection?

Other than this, love this ROM!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
This ROM doesn't get a lot of attention (at least here on XDA) but I have to say that IMO it's one of the most stable, feature rich ROMS out there right now. I've been on the nightlies for the past couple of weeks and haven't had any issues using this as a daily driver.

Anyone with Data connection stability (LTE not sticking), it has been confirmed that flashing a STOCK 4.3 rom and then reflashing your current ROM resolves this issue. I don't know how it fixes the issues however, I can confirm this to be true by restoring nandroid backups of STOCK 4.3 and then restoring the nightly PAC !

It doesn't contain PIE (which I never used but seems to be asked about in many other rom threads) but it does contain a feature I love called Gesture Anywhere..

I admit I'm not a heavy phone user like most however I do enjoy playing with all the features and functionality and IMO this rom is one of the best 4.4.2 roms out there.

Additionally, it plays nicely with Quantums latest kernels (up to 3.16 at the time of this writing).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daver68:
I wonder of its because of the baseband in stock 4.3? Maybe 4.4 doesn't include a baseband, so if one didn't have 4.3 from before then it just uses the old one, which for whatever reason may not be compatible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] therebel88:

This issue started when CM merged all the S3 variants into a single D2LTE variant. It wasn't an issue prior to this on any 4.4 D2ATT build. This solution mysteriously appears to resolve the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
I apologize if this has already been asked, but XDA's thread-search function appears to be broken at the moment...

If you're coming from 4.1.2 and a pre-MJ2 bootloader, does installing the rooted non-Knox version of this ROM still require a Knox bootloader that can/will presumably blow the Knox fuse? Or is installing the rooted non-Knox version of this ROM basically a consequence-free update as long as you never allowed the 4.3 OTA to occur?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 23rdstreet:
IMEI!!!

Just an update on the above issue:

Somewhere between flashing the 15th & 17th nightlies alongside flashing quantum kernels 03_09 & 03_16, I lost my IMEI :/

As I read more on it, it seems that this is a risk with flashing Roms in general.

There seems a relatively simple way to restore your IMEI using QPST which, similar to Odin, requires that you connect your phone physically to a PC. Problem is, my phone's charging port is totally broken :eek: (I've been using a wireless inductive charger for a bit. Which is fabulous, BTW). Fabulous or not, I can no longer physically connect my phone to anything.

So there's that.

I've also read that flashing a downgraded modem might reset the IMEI. So, I tried flashing a couple. Didn't restore my IMEI, but seems to help my data connection a bit. Also, I've been switching between "Preferred Network Types" which seems to sometimes help (though I really don't know which setting I should use).

Strangely & luckily, I can still seem to make and receive calls.

So, I think I have to do it: a complete back to stock factory reset (using mobile Odin) a la this.

Curious, The Teejster, can I ask if you had lost your IMEI when you experienced the data connection stability problems?

If I flash back to stock, download some sort of EFS Backup / Restore Program, backup my EFS and then root, can I just restore a nandroid backup via TWRP of my current ROM/ set up? Do I have to upgrade the Roms in steps?

Anyway, sorry for the long post. Happy Friday!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
I never lost my IMEI and have flashed countless times (and every single nightly of PAC for the past few weeks. Somewhere around the 3/10 nightly a full wipe was required but since then dirty flashing nightlies has been flawless)

RE: flashing back to stock :

- I had a nandroid of my stock rom after it was rooted so I simply restored that AFTER making a nandroid of my current 4.4.2 rom.

- After I got a lock on LTE, I rebooted back into TWRP and reflashed my 4.4.2 nandroid (after wiping system, data, and both caches of course)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 23rdstreet:
Also, if anyone knows of a way (beyond a complete factory reset) to restore a lost IMEI (without requiring that I connect the phone to a computer), I'm all ears.
