Isn't there a feature in the paranoid preferences to backup your preferences? I know I saw a restore feature in v19 for that?

Yup just checked. Should be able to make a backup of your pa preferences
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
fwiw, what i do is back up the 'properties.conf' in >system/etc/paranoid

i then replace it after updating. change permissions, reboot. golden.

thats how i change dpi and force my widgets dpi. also.

some times, paranoid prefs act screwy with me and fc.

be sure to change permissions on 'properties.conf. to 666 to allow the actual way of going through settings to change again.

hope i made sense.

also, no need to reboot when editing the properties file. just save.

Question for Developer.. are the proxies already changed to 0000? And do you know if the throttling folders have been removed so Sprint can't throttle?

Great ROM by the way, glad you took over. I came from king many and I'm really pleased with this

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
Haven't been able to find if the proxies are set, but I do know that the throttling folder is still there. You can disable throttling by changing the permissions of the throttle folder in data/system to read and execute for owner only.

I also do know the stock Build.prop uses the Google DNS.

Does this ROM have the option to wake with the volume rockers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
Yes it is found in system>ROM Control>Lockscreen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
Yes. Under lock screen in ROM control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
One more dumb question what is the preferences we flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
The ParanoidPreferences.zip contains the ParanoidPreferences.apk which allows you to modify your DPI on a per app basis.

For me that seemed to be a build.prop issue from flashing tweaks. You can still use exit only tweaks, but I think you still need to push them, flashing messes with it. I haven't had a single issue.

Actually exit only just recently updated his package to include a fix for prop issues and this ROM.

Has been working fine for me flashed since he did :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
I still don't really understand about the exit only tweaks. I am on Pacman v19.0, do I need these tweaks? I was looking at the page a while ago that contained the tweaks, and I guess I didn't fully understand which ones were for my phone. I am on Epic 4g touch, and all seems to be running well. I was on the Goodness for a long time, and they would always just provide an update fix to their updater which is why I don't have any experience with the tweaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
After reading the exit only thread and my previous experiences, I will definitely be making a backup before I flash the tweaks. I hope flashing works this time. I've used them on other ROMs and they do seem to help quite a bit. I've just been pimping in the meantime.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joeboo28:
Think of it this way; with this ROM you'll already have CM10 along with AOKP and PA...three of the best ROMS out there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jtsv:
Can you tell me exactly what you did? I flashed his newest tweaks and it kept the PA settings already set however took all DPI to 0 and would not allow any new PA settings. You may just be the lucky one but then again I wonder if the tweaks are really helpful at all.

I'm just grateful this was created and continues to be supported.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyropup55:
Been running this for about a day since AOKP some how broke my sensors... still haven't figured that out. It's been running smooth and great battery so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
I don't wanna come off like a **** here but you prolly should have posted this in the Q&A section instead of 4-5 different rom dev threads... :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eigokyoukan:
I am a bit anal even when just updating ROM versions, so my process is to wipe everything (except internal and ext SD) then with PAC I will flash it, then PA preferences, then reboot. Once settled I will go back into recovery, clear cache and dalvik, then flash exit's JB tweaks latest version, then reboot.

After all seems to work well for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
Hey Sniper, can you look into editing the recent apps switcher so it doesn't show the app you are currently in?

Thanks in advance!

That's how I feel, but I have seen so many posts about them. Thanks for the response.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
I just wanted to say how glad I am that I decided to give this rom a shot. I've been running aokp for months and every so often I'd jump to a cm build to see what was up.... If CM had fixed the few minor things that bugged me about aokp (no 4G power widget, a flashlight power widget that would time out when the screen would... Other really minor stuff) and after running CM for a bit I'd miss my favorite stuff from aokp (8 unlock targets, notification pull down background customization and other stuff) This ROM has my favorite stuff from both roms. If you're thinking about trying it out, don't hesitate.

This thing is awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
I like having the current app in the recent apps actually. It makes it easier to kill the app if I need to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crhylove:
Any idea why my wife's battery sucks so hard? Turning off weather,will see if it helps....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Maybe a bad battery. Facebook is also a battery hog.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crhylove:
I'll try to get her off Facebook on the phone then. Also updated to 19 and dalvik and cache wiped. we'll see!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
try the app 'better battery stats'.

it looks like something is waking up her phone constantly. and the screen was only turned on a few times.

in BBS, check partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks.

thats too much battery drain from no deep sleep, thats happening there. im sure your battery is not bad, its just the phone waking up too much.

...like he said tho, that facebook is probably polling every 15 or something. check the facebook app settings.. thats probably it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atomb:
I agree except it doesn't seem to really kill the app the way holding the back arrow does. I also wish the list showed apps that you are sent to from within an app. Say If I am in the gallery and share a photo to instagram and them jump to a third app from the notification drawer. If you go to the recent apps list Instagram wont show up at all. This seems broken but it's broken in all the roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bertm13:
It seems the navbar icon color setting does not stick and resets at boot. The highlight color sticks though. Hope it isn't just me! :p

I have set the same color in both the CM10 settings and AOKP settings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
True, but I sometimes use the kill all the kill background apps.

Otherwise I go to the home screen and press kill all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SixSixAtl:
It may be just you if everyone else is aware that: PA now has an "EXTRAS" settings page for each app (it's the third page after SIZE and LAYOUT/UI) that allows you to change nav bar and status bar colors on a per app basis, so you'll need to go to PA + App + [whatever launcher app you're using] + EXTRAS to reset the colors for your launcher app. Anytime you see the nav/status bar colors change, note what app you have up and then go to PA and reset the colors for that app.

My hunch is that it's not just you, so hope this helps :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bertm13:
I checked a few apps in there and they are already configured with the colors I supplied. I rebooted and it is changed back to the default gray. It still shows the color in all three (CM, AOKP, PA) settings but it does not change until I pick a new color.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SixSixAtl:
Hmmm...before rebooting, try booting to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot to see if your color changes stick. I added some screen shots to my post to show what screens I use to set my colors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bertm13:
Tried that and also fixed permissions. Rebooted and set the color again and rebooted. Still reverts. It's not a big deal though, just wondering if its a bug that can be fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dz1:
hey guys before i flash this coming from jb fl16 i have a few questions

1. to any one that has used fl16 tw can tell me from their experiance if battery life is better, worse, same? average 12 now

2. max resolution recording on video camera?

3. finally do you guys recommend flashing the tweaks that are out there or just leaving the rom as is? from the magic search function i read that it breaks some stuff?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuatillo1:
Have you any of you guys have change the dpi on the YouTube app to 3D looking because I can't or do I need to change the whole tablet mode at the rom control settings..? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
To get the tablet you you need to change the pixels to 1000(?) I can't remember, but it's not the dpi that needs changes, it's the size.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skylenorman:
I love this rom! I've got a couple of bugs to report, however. Wifi turns itself off even though I've got it set to be "Always On." This wouldn't be an issue if it would revert to Mobile Data while WiFi is off, but it instead opts to have no signal all together.

The other issue is with Dialer. I've had a few issues where it won't connect, and I end up having to restart my phone so that I can make a call.

Not sure if it matters, but I'm using the 4.2 gapps with this rom and no tweaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SixSixAtl:
I experienced better battery life with TW, but AOSP/CM10 or AOKP with or without PA does so much more for me. I love this PACman brew of CM10/AOKP/PA, and it's easy to run my battery down because there's so much stuff to play with. I have 3 Samsung batteries and two after market batteries, so I'm not super focused on battery life to begin with. The one battery drain issue I ran into post-TW (and prior to flashing this rom) was the result of a bad media file that caused media scanner to constantly run. I used Bettery Battery Stats, GSam Battery Monitor and System Panel Lite (be sure to check Show internal system processes in Settings) to figure that out, and after researching this issue on multiple boards, I backed up both my internal and external SD cards to my laptop and then did a full wipe before reflashing the rom and gapps (I was on King Kang at the time, but prior to that I had flashed previous versions of CM10, AOKP and PA so I'm not quite sure when exactly the battery drain issue started). I'm not a fan of the JB tweaks - I've flashed both Pimp My Rom and EO's AIO - since I'm not really clear as why I should flash them or what they do. I've had better results from basic housekeeping like periodically clearing data and cache for a particular app or booting to recovery to wipe cache & dalvik. Since I've been on CM10/AOKP I've mostly done dirty flashing with no regrets (I'm lazy), but I have hit one or two snags that I ended up solving by doing a full wipe and a reflash. I'm a big fan of Titanium and have always used the pro version. I've been flashing GAPPS 4.2 for a while now, and the camera app that's part of gallery has 1080p for video. I'm now using the Gmail 4.2.1.615 now available on play store, so I use Titanium to delete the version of Gmail (4.2.1.478) that is contained in the GAPPS 4.2 package I flash, and then I restore my backup of Gmail 4.2.1.615.

One or more of the roms I flashed prior to this one had a system sound setting to mute just the camera sounds but I don't see that setting in PACman (I know system mute also mutes camera sound but I like the separate setting). Otherwise I have no complaints and owe a big high five to the development team and a big thanks to sniper for taking over the helm! I hope this rom sticks!

When I activated PA Colors, not all of my apps defaulted to the black/orange/yellow colors I had previously set in settings and rom control. A few of the apps defaulted to a different color scheme (white/grey/blue). Apex - the launcher app I use - was one of them, so I had to go to PA+Apps+Apex and reset the color scheme on the EXTRAS page. Are you actually going into PA settings + Apps and then pulling up the settings for [whatever launcher app you're using] to apply the colors you want? Just checking...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] customz123:
I get some good battery life with this ROM. Thanks sniper
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Nice theme ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bertm13:
Yeah, I went into the paranoid settings, apps, and apex launcher is showing the correct colors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Croathlete:
So I've recently been affected with the power button issue. It basically doesn't work at all. I've enabled screen wake with the volume buttons, but it only seems to work when the phone is not in a deep sleep. Can anyone else confirm? And if so, is there a workaround? Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SixSixAtl:
Once I figured out this "splash of color" business and how to reset the colors by copy/pasting the hex values I came up with in the system settings and rom control nav bar settings, I haven't had any problems with my buttons reverting to grey/white/etc. Try changing one of the apex colors to something else and then changing it back to what you want....maybe it will stick that way. If that doesn't work, I would do a full wipe, reflash and then restore data from titanium (the etc/paranoid files get installed when you flash the rom, so if reflashing is the answer, you'll need to reflash both the rom and paranoid preferences zip). While I haven't had problems with my nav and status bar and button colors sticking, at one point the paranoid settings button just disappeared from main settings screen even though the paranoid preferences app was still installed, so I did a full wipe/reflash/restore data which fixed that. I dirty flashed v18 over King Kang and dirty flashed v19 over v18 - like I said earlier I'm lazy - so a full wipe and squeaky clean flash was probably overdue anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bertm13:
I have recently been hit with the same problem. This is why I went to this rom in the first place. Try pressing the vol buttons a few times with delays in between (1-2 seconds). It will turn on eventually. Since I switched, my power button has been getting better and i usually use it to wake the screen from deep sleep and it never sticks like it used to. When I get a text, I can use the volume buttons since the LED will keep the phone from deep sleep. Then swipe up from the navbar is binned to screen off.

I also flashed over v18 to v19, wiping only caches. I did notice the issue v18 so I don't believe it is from that. I also threw on eo tweaks, 4.2 camera, and deleted a number of system files that I don't want (and I'm lazy too) so I'd rather just keep it the way it is :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
I have Root Explorer which seems to see the external SD card fine. Apollo seems to see my music on the external card too.

The real problem is that Titanium Backup cant see my backed up Apps on the external SD card. And the Gallery cant see my Pics and Docs on the external SD card. My recoveries are also on the external SD card and CWM doesnt see them. I dont really want to move all that stuff to the internal SD.

Is this possibly a bad flash? Everything seemed normal and all wipes were done.

EDIT: Now I just rebooted, and Gallery sees the pics on the external SD card. Titanium Backup still doesnt see it. Hmmm. Im gonna try to move the Ti Backup folder to the internal SD and see if that works.

Titanium backup works fine with my external sd. Go to preferences, backup location, hit detect, then select whole device and it should find your backups.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
It found the backup apps when I copied them to the internal SD. But I also tried your method and that worked too. It was looking in sdcard0 location, and detected them in sdcard1 location which I guess is the external folder. Anyway was able set the directory and to restore all my apps. CWM also sees them when I navigate to the external card menu which I didnt see before.

Couple kinks worked out but so far so good! Everything seems to be running very snappy and smooth, Im impressed! Nice work! Ill give it a few days to see how battery life is compared to my other ROMs and see how she goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
Also if you read the instructions on the backup location screen in TB it tells you how to navigate : the back button actually goes up folders from where you are and you can really easily browse to where your backups are on your external Sd card and pick the folder manually.

I say this not as a "RTFM" guy, but a guy who went through your frustration for a LONG time before I noticed. It's a LOT faster than waiting for titanium to find it for you. :beer:
