Just an update...

PAC has given up on AOSP based distribution and is going back to CM for marshmallow. IMHO, this is a move in the right direction and will result in a release.

Right now the base up on github is basically straight CM, the core devs will be adding in the PAC features you know and love. The powers that be request no public releases of PAC until it's ready.

When will that be? Only the wind knows...

Going forward, there may another release of PAC L for d2 devices, but I'm putting 95% of my effort into M at this point. Upstream work on L seems to have also dried up.

The good news is that L is a great release and if I had to be stuck on one for a while, this is it.

BTW, if anyone is interested in being a tester, please send me a PM. Manfromgta doesn't have access to a d2att phone anymore. I still have my d2tmo, but I'd like to have at least 50% coverage on the d2 variants.

Thanks!!

I have two d2att and a d2tmo and I'm constantly flashing whatever I can find to them whenever I find it. Usually only if its being attended to by an active dev, but occasionally I like to even try older ROMs if they look cool. I would be glad to help. PM me with detailed requests as for what you want me to test, be it unstable or just for verification of every function available, I'll help however you'd like. Include how/where you want logcats/feedback sent, etc. Only thing is I can't test USB functionality on 1 of 2 of d2att devices, my d2tmo has a bad USB also. Otherwise they all work fine... I have debrick images written to extSd on hand for both and I'm not afraid to have to use them, (wouldn't be the first time) though I don't see why they would be necessary. Both AT&T devices are running NJ2 boot/base. Look forward to hearing from you if you are still able to utilize the extra help.

I installed this ROM and now I'm having an issue connecting to Wifi networks. I can't connect to any wifi networks... none at all... I searched the internet and tried every "fix" but nothing has worked... do you have an ideas for me? Everything else so far seems to be working fine, camera, hot spot (the reason I flashed in the first place). When I try to connect, it sees networks but gets into a loop while authenticating. Just saves the network and marks it secure but won't connect. Again tried numerous fixes I found in the forums and via google, nothing has worked. I did a factory reset before flashing, even repeated... no dice so far.

** UPDATE **

Got connected... turns out I changed the security options on my router to WPA (AES) only security and I can now connect. all other options including WPA/WPA2 fail. Also what's even more curious... when I went with an open network with no security I could not connect either. Anyone have the same problem? But at least now I can connect.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
That's really strange. I have experienced some wierdness with flashing roms and arp caches though, did you try to reboot the router in all of this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sergeantosborne:
Yep, multiple reboots etc. So the router has an auto negotiation security setting where it chooses between WPA/WPA2 AES/TPIK based on client needs. I had to set to WPA-AES to get the phone to connect. Tried other routers set to WPA2 and had similar result to include one router I flashed with DD-WRT. Interesting side effect... prior to the change my router would reboot itself two or three times a day... now it hasn't reboot once since I made the change... I could never figure out what the deal was... it may be too soon but I may have just knocked out two birds with one fix.

Hello,

I just recently flashed this rom. Thank you for all the work done on it.

I have one issue, however. I seem to have lost my root that I had on my phone prior to flashing this rom.

Is there any easy way to get root back on this release?

I'm not sure what information, if any, is needed from me to offer assistance. But, I'll provide some anyway in case it would help anyone out.

Device: SGH-1747

Baseband: 1747MVLUFOB3

Kernel version: 3.4.109-pacrom+

Android version: 5.1.1

Recovery installed: TWRP

Is there any way to root this release without formatting? I rooted it previously from stock firmware 4.4. I wasn't sure if it was the same method for this release. I'm new to flashing roms and didn't want to mess anything up. I flashed SuperSU v.2.00 via TWRP and upon opening, it says root is not detected.

Thank you for any assistance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
I am a big fan of openwrt, it's solid, but you do have to be comfortable in linux. I usually add heat-sinks to router chips, often times the routers cook themselves. Wall-warts also only last 2-3 years, if it's older, probably time to replace.

But yeah, I have two routers running openwrt and one on dd-wrt (small flash) and I use WPA2 only.

If you still have the issues, check the adb logcat, I often find answers there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] manfromgta:
Did you enable root access from developer options in settings? Installing SU app is not necessary.

Edit: Enable developer options first by tapping build number several times found under about phone in settings.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bird333:
Installed this and I have a couple of questions.

1. Where are the PA settings i.e. changing to tablet mode etc?

2. Is there a way to get back to the main menu of settings when I have gone to my specific google account? Once I go that far the only way to get to the main settings is to exit out and come back in.

3. Is there a way to make the phone stop trying to connect to a wifi N network when I already have it set to connect to a different network? I have tried to tell it to 'forget' the network but it keeps trying to connect to it which interferes with the phone connecting to the wifi I specified.

4. How do you setup Openvpn? I don't see anything under VPN.

Recovery issues

This has been a great ROM and have flashed nearly every revision over the last year since I got my I747. But I really miss some of the Xposed modules that still work on CM11 like forced lock-screen and App Settings rotation.

Does anyone know of any issues that would keep from downgrading, like incompatible bootstack partitioning or Philz touch d2lte recovery? I'm either getting boot-loop or failed flash with some of these old ROMS from 2014.

Update: It was the recovery. I downgraded from the Philz CWM v6.5 d2lte to v6.15 d2att and successfully flashed the last SlimKat v9 d2lte.

Update: Couldn't restore Pac Rom with older Philz, so fully committed to latest TWRP .img and saying goodby to old CWM for good.:crying:

PAC ALPHA MARSHMALLOW

​

Commits can be seen here: http://review.pac-rom.com/#/q/status:merged

For changes just look back to the date of your last rom.

Download: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/pacman/d2att/Alpha

Flash it clean for your first time.

Flash opengapps, but do not flash "super" or "stock". Any of the others will work.

Problems have been reported if you flash SuperSU.

Do not use Titanium Backup to migrate your phone settings, including SMS, from Lollipop. SMS Backup and Restore by Carbonite seems to work well.

Otherwise, this build is now stable enough to be my daily driver. It's noticably snappy and many trifles have been fixed with M.

Enjoy!!

PAC is rebranding, this is the last official PAC build for d2. The Crew Formally Known as PAC (TCFKP) hasn't decided the new direction yet. I personally suspect it will be AOSP based, and not support D2 (and plenty of others).

So, I don't know the new direction of TCFKP or my own, but I'm pretty sure you guys haven't seen the last of me in the D2 forums.

6.0 i like it

Pros: Performs better than 5.0 or 5.1: It seems to manage memory resources better, is more responsive, and stable; especially when adding customization. I'd say the best version since KitKat and superior in many ways, with fewer bugs. New Gello browser works well and has good dark mode.

Cons: Gello has no quick-settings pie control. It's a pain to set up a new system with default paranoid. Some apps will ask for individual permissions and might recognize the external SD card. Some apps don't ask for permission and won't ever know where to find external data, even after manually allowing. Either way, there's a lot of pop-up 'yay or nay' notifications and rigmarole with that new feature.

Conlusion: Most legacy version apps work fine and the ui experience is atractive, smooth, and seemless. Great ROM.

On the sticker under the battery. Unless the motherboard has been changed. Don't try to go by writing printed directly on the motherboard. For example, both my d2tmo (t999) and my d2att (i747) have i747 printed on the motherboard.

The difference in firmware means you can flash roms from i747, t999, but not flash Modems or bootloaders other than ones for your specific device. And no odin stock rom other than for your specific device. What modem and bootloader does your device have?

What steps did you use for installing it?

It's since I used this method for OctOS M (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix7rrKS4keI), and for me, OctOS M is buggy at times, (and I think I've been flashing it wrong, as after 3 times using same flash method, its still buggy, hopefully this is just the case with the ROM, and not my method, so PAC-ROM works perfectly!)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssurell:
I think you need a baseband from jb or later oem release (you have it (OctOS M)), TWRP v3, super wipe procedure: data, system, boot, dalvik cache, cache. I also use TWRP file browser to delete any folder contents labeled .secure due to old google framework issues from KitKat that may still be lingering on the sd storage. Install the zip ROM and let it boot for a while. ROM is default paranoid, so initial setup is on the tedious side. I think it includes a root manager and busybox (for sure).

I reboot to recovery and flash SuperSU zip and setup my software environment sans gapps with xposed etc. before flashing open gapps, making some staged nandroids along the way. But this is personal preference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GamingDevilsCC:

CM13

More stable than the previous CM12.1 version, and much lighter than Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 of the same variety.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GamingDevilsCC:
Whats the difference between AOSP and CM?

Is AOSP more stable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssurell:
Not that familiar with pure AOSP, but Cyanogenmod typically has more customization and stock features. There is simply better stability with Android 6 than 5 since it was the beginning of ART runtime. I prefer to run this device with KitKat's Dalvik runtime due to limited memory and CPU resources though. The performance stays the same no matter what you're doing, and is less laggy while multitasking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Maouen:
Even if Pac is no more, can't we still use current builds? Just archive them with a note they are no longer maintained and freeze the thread.
