I have flash v 1.7 twice (wipe cache,dalvik,factory reset,system )but in settings>sound when i press music effects again nothing hapend. Any advice? when you said ''wipe your sd'' you mean after installation via recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
yes, doing a clean install and formating sd right after and still on recovery, minimises risks of unwanted bugs. I always test my releases both as dirty flashes and clean flashes (inlcuding sd formatiing). The problem you say never occured to me and as I recall you had the same problem on a previous release which you solve by formatiing sd?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
The last time i had the same problem i erase the files from the pc and leave only rom zip, in TWRP there's an option wipe internal storage, that option you mean?, i don't touch it because i 'm affraid of what things be erased?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
I don't use TWRP but i guess that would be the correct choice from your saying. DON'T BE AFRAID...JUST DO IT!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
I made all wipes install rom after and wipe sd twice, no luck this time :crying::p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
I use TWRP also. What option did you end up using to erase the sd card?

I did not flash 1.7 yet, but settings > sound > music effects never worked for me, not even on clean install. It is not a big deal for me, just saying. Maybe I will have better luck this time.

One more thing, after you erase the internal storage or sd, whatever it is called on our Galaxy Nexus, do you get a "0" folder? If I format system I get a /0 folder, but if I format my system partition 5 times for example, I get 5 "0" folders, like this: /0/0/0/0/0 and only after that I can get to my files, for example: /0/0/0/0/0/stuff... Any ideas? I can erase them from my computer after that, to have only one "0" that is sd card, but is really annoying.

Hope there is an answer out there. Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
I was able to wipe Internal Storage using TWRP, but if I want to wipe External Storage I get a Failed report. Is the option "Wipe External Storage" used only if you a real SD-CARD in your phone?

Thanks! :)

EDIT:

Clean install. Wiped everything including sdcard and music effects don`t work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
You must update to the latest TWRP to stop nesting the 0 folders and after that make a clean install. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6TA7zaonjc&list=PLB9F7946C16BE343B&index=35

If you connect a usb stick with OTG and stickmount you can flash roms from there via TWRP and that is the external sd option.Wipe internal sd option erase the files in the internal sd (the files you see when you plug your phone to the pc) but if you wanna do this you must flash rom before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Thanks!

Did you managed to make music effects work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
I try many times but no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Same here, no luck.

Re: [ROM] [CM10.1] PitchBlack v1.7 // April 01, 2013 //

Does the volume still adjust from lock screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
If it works for me, it should be working for you. If other users for some weird reason, report that also, I will hardcode the target next time

there is an option in sound to have this feature on or off

PS: Of course the 3-4 weeks period rest time saying was my 1st April lie. Not resting...! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
how do you enable -->

## Mms: Add quick emoji button next to text input -

edit: found it.. under settings.

THIS Is something that Ive really missed!!! good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
When receiving a call does anyone has the reject/answer a call animation all screwed up? You know, that thing with all the small dots :laugh: Mine is like you layered the same animation 10 times. It is all messed up. (See attached Screenshot) What is the problem? Can I fix it or should I re-flash the rom.

Last night I wiped all including sd card and flashed the 1.7 update like 7-10 times. In the end I got the Settings > Sound > Music Effects working. I don`t know how, but it works now for me. But I am afraid that if I have to re-flash the rom to fix the problem I have described above, the music effects will not work again. :P

Any ideas?

Thanks!

PS: That was a good April fools prank, John! :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
Confirmed. Will be fixed on next update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Ok, so it is not just me.

Ok, will wait. Happy it is not a 3-4 week wait! :P

Or can I replace the files in framework-res.apk myself? I am thinking there is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
If it's not a big trouble for you, to hardcode the music effects target you make me happy :cowboy:

Your 1st April lie it was a good one :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Yes, hardcore the bloody thing cause it is getting stupid :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
f _ _ k no!!!! :D it's a phone.apk thing only. DO NOT MESS WITH DARK FORCES :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
I was thinking it was in the phone.apk. It makes sense. The lockscreen ring is in the framework-res.apk.

Hope that update will be up soon :P I was ready to re-flash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
nooooooo!!! :p i think about 20 times is good enough. Will hardcode the target on next update and fix the ring (enough with that...enjoy 1.7) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Ok, thank you! :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalvoh:
how to work the cynogenmod pie????

i turned it on but nothing :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
It's working only if expanded desktop enable.

Re: [ROM] [CM10.1] PitchBlack v1.7 // April 01, 2013 //

Where? I found the button to wake with volume buttons, but I do not want it to adjust volume from lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
This is a beautiful Rom,with excellent add on features(Xposed, Beats, Pie, Diamond kernel). Two things making me want to move on though. First, is there a way to enable expanded desktop other than using the power button? I avoid mine to preserve it. Also, if those navbar heights were adjustable, I'd be sure to stick around awhile. The last Cyanogen I used was cm 7, and I never thought I'd be back [no particular reason]. but you sir have pulled me back in. Excellent work!

I've noticed that the read ahead buffer is 1024 in trickster..Is this really necessary? I believe the last diamond i was running was 256...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
I still experience big freezes. as if CPU / RAM is fully loaded.

it feels like im on a 10MHz. If I swipe between homescreens it can take 10-20 seconds before it switches with a very laggy look.

This can be for like 5 minutes.

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
no way this should be happening! My phone is loaded with 300 apps, some of them running on background...even after heavy use no lag or freezes. Do a clean install, have you done that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalvoh:
i tried with expanded desktop . the turnout ratio is 1:30 or more (i'm not exaggerating ) . any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
i am desperately looking for a call recorder. does this rom have it inbuilt?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
I suggest you desperately look for another rom!

Re: [ROM] [CM10.1] PitchBlack v1.7 // April 01, 2013 //

Is it possible to have just the themed keyboard as a flashable zip? Or an apk? The black and blue is awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troublecro:
Word :) Keyboard is pure awesomeness!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalvoh:
yes there is , plus you could get a simple recording app from play store which would work with any custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
next update will be featuring the following (so far):

-- bug fixes

-- themed nova launcher

-- gps tweaks (I got the first fix in 4secs!!!!!! Time should be from 4 - 11 secs in open field. Accuracy is excellent!)

as far for keyboard requests...this is the only app that is not entirely merged into theme (keeping it that way deliberately). So theming comes from theme and changed values in the app itself. I am not willing to to do a flashable zip nor merge the changed color values in the app itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
John this getting better and better. With FasterGPS from market you can select a NTP Server matching your region to speed up the process of getting a GPS fix. Your fix is simillar? And what about Nova, i 'm very curious :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
nothing similar to that app! Just wait... About nova, it has to do with nova settings, now it doesn't have black background. Also with resizing frame on widgets, little things that make stuff look better. And small other visual improvements.

The gps improvement (not only the gps.conf file but others too) will be universal. User can alter only the ntp server as I am going to set europe as default. So replacing the ntp server with your continent is the only thing required by the end user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
Your sir ROCK!!!!!!:good::good::good::good::good:

I love the upcoming GPS fix, bye bye FasterGPS (an excellent app though) and for nova, believe me or not, i was ready to send email to the developer to fix the settings background. You make me and my phone happy. :silly: I just can't wait for v1.8
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
messing with my wife's ACE II. Installing JB 4.1.2. Long time since I've touched a branded phone :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam87:
Bump

Anyone with pitch black keyboard.? I've tried extracting but my skills are too noob. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
lots of nice changes and new additions from cyanogen mod till the last nightly I used for 1.7. CM is getting better and better and so 1.8 will be. Many thanks to CM for their great work and dedication. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smmndchaos:
When I go to settings>security>SMS message limit or whatever settings crashes. I believe another thing does, but I can't remember. Not complaining, just saying. You said 1.8 contains bug fixes, can't wait! Keep up the good work! Also, is there any way to put a RAM usage bar when you're in recent apps? It would be nice to have, but not a huge miss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
It crashes for me to, i believe this must be a CM bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
Hi itasoulas.... Amazing rom. pitch black seems to have convinced me to jump from PA... I mean, only this shows the real potential of our AMOLED screen .. inside settings, the explorer menu gives systemui crash. is this normal?

Also, is there a way to display the settings menu in PA fashion using the framework per-app-dpi settings. Is fo can you please tell me the values? I tried with the framework page, but it wasnt working out for me..

Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
I need to check if this a cm bug or my fault, not pretty sure. About RAM...not in my plans for next update.

first follow the guide @ 2nd post to enable xposed framwork and app settings. Then, via app settings and by choosing settings, the values are

DPI 220

Sceen (dp) 800x1280

These values work for other apps too, like emal, gmail.

About explorer...this targets specifically at root explorer app so you need to have this installed. If not, it's normal to give you a fc message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
Wow. that worked. But, it dint happen in the beginning. Had to uninstall the app setting app, removed xposed, downloaded the app settings apk separately and now this is working. Thanks a mill...

One small issue - PGM free version d and e are both not working. Am not sure why, I mean i haven changed the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
If you buy this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5zcGVlZHNvZnR3YXJlLnJvb3RleHBsb3JlciJd then explorer working.

Go to settings> display > installer and press install/update and check Xposed app settings (module). After that make a reboot and go again settings> display > app settings, find settings and put those values dpi 220 and screen (dp) 800 x 1280 and save. Done ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalshade:
Hi there,

thanks for this great ROM! It was the reason why i switched from stock to custom :)

But i have one Problem:

I've connected my Phone to my Car (paired over BT) to use it as Media Player and make Bluetooth Phone Calls. Everything is working fine, i can play my Music over Bluetooth and so on, but there's one Problem: When my Car wants to connect with my phone i get an message on my phone, that i have to accept that the car is allowed to see my messages. If i press Allow, everything is ok, but this message shows up everytime, and if i'm not fast enough to Allow the Connection, my Car runs into a Timeout and stops trying to connect to the phone...

The funny thing about this is, there's a checkbox called "dont ask again", but even if i tick it, the message still pops up while connecting!

Is this a bug, oder do somebody know how to fix this?

Greetings,

infernalshade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
PGM free version never working. Trust me on that. Buy paid version and its working with the latest AK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
1.8 is set to be released by the mid of the week to come. Enjoy the weekend!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalvoh:
John I reported in 1.6 twice the battery won't show any charging signs above 95 if I charge in one go. Please look into it and reply.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
ohh, sorry dude. I checked that a few days back actually and didn't have that issue. I just forgot to answer :)

Did you clean flash? For your info, such problems are kernel related or missing png files in ui. Just to make sure, will double check that before releasing 1.8. OK?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Kernel related for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
Go settings> performance and when trickster opens go specific and check battery life extender. I 'm sure is set to 95.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalvoh:
Well I'm running your bundle with a clean flash, the very same ak kernel and the nova launcher.:o

Could there be a chance that somehow I have this particular problem and no one else?? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalshade:
Noone? :( this bug is really annoying...I have to click allow in this message several times before I can connect with my car!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalvoh:
nope , i checked its at 100 .what now??

Just wondering, how do i flash this and keep my data? Since everytime i restore my data, everything just crashes, and it wont start a thing, any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
PB Theme/contacts: fixed the gray horizontal divider on top (set up my profile). This was really annoying, at least for me. Now it's blue as all the rest of the lines. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
try posting your question to cm thread. This should be cm related. I can't provide you with a solution. I just use a bluetooth headset (which works great), my car hasn't got a bluetooth to test this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalshade:
Ok thx,I'll do!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
I don`t know of other users, but if I go into recovery and do a factory reset and reboot, I get a black screen and that`s it. I have the option to go into settings but it force closes. I have notice that the launcher (Nova Launcher) is Not in system/app but in data/app. I think this might be a problem. Because if you do a factory reset it erases all your apps from data/app, meaning the apps the user installed.

So can you include the launcher in system/app? All the roms I used before had the launcher in system/app along all the other system apps. This way it will not be erased if I do a factory reset. It will only erase the updates to the launcher or updates to other apps and leave the version that the rom came with.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
I wanted to do some modifications to the rom (1.7 update) before I flashed it. I tried like I did in the past: Open the zip file with 7zip and navigated to system/app to add a apk. In the past I simply dropped the apk in there, it asked me if I was sure, yes and that was it. This was the simple way, with not decompiling of the rom and all that stuff. Just to add or remove an app from system. But now I can`t do that, it gives me and error. Why is that?

I tried with Kitchen but I don`t get the data folder in there. What can I do?

Need help! :D

EDIT:

This is the error I get if I want to drop an app (apk) in data/app or in system/app folder. See attachment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cschmitt:
That's because in Unix filenames are case sensitive so two files with the same name, differing only by case, can exist in the archive. But windows doesn't allow that, so when 7zip rebuilds the archive in order to add the apk it fails.

Solution, rebuild the archive on a Unix box or on windows in cygwin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Yes, I know. But I did this with other roms and it worked.... And if I use cygwin and kitchen it does not unpack or decompile the data/app folder in the archive. Why is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cschmitt:
Don't know why kitchen doesn't work and there's really no sense in using it to unpack and repack the rom when all you're doing in adding a file to the archive.

My suggestion is to use the zip command in cygwin, like 'zip rom.zip system/app/some.apk' to add the apk into the rom archive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Yes, I know it is strange, because I used kitchen in the past with no problems.

The command you gave me is to add an apk in the rom? Where should I place the rom and the apk in order for that to work?

And thanks for the info! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
guys, stick to the topic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Well.... I was talking about this rom ... and what is the topic anyway?

But never mind

EDIT:

And if you are here John... can you put the bloody launcher in system/app? I think that is the right place. Because if I do a factory reset I get a black screen and have to flash the rom again. That is NOT cool!....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cschmitt:
Agree, if you're going to include apps in a rom they should be included in the system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Well, yes. Thank you! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
PGM issue

But the included AK kernel is only Diamond 33, do you mean i must update to Diamond 44?

By the way, the free PGM was definitely working when I was using PA with Diamond 44. So is it the kernel only then?:confused:

Also, is anyone able to check if PGM works fine in PB v1.7?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
PGM will work perfect on upcoming 1.8 with AK 063 (or whatever the new version will be till the release).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
SwiftKey somehow seem to be the problem.

The lagg occurs when typing. and the keyboard just dissappear suddenly.

and then 5 minutes of lagg.

After that when starting typing I get the Original Android keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
1.8 will be based on today's nightly (April 8). Bug fixes, more customisation, gps tweaks (promise this will work sweet, no crap)...Release is scheduled for tomorrow.

PS: Will add a section @ 1st post the following days with the name of every person who donates/contributes to this project. It's the least I can do to say thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
Way to Go

+1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
PGM fine on 1.6

Hey updated the kernel to AK diamond 63 and PGM is perfect. Super.

Small request, is it possible to theme Google Currents to work in a black version? I mean it would be awesome if u can do that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
I can add that, it's a piece of cake for me. Probably will be featured on tomorrow's update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aadiflesher:
Great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] misterblonde:
I think that the diamond *44 it's the best, without every problem of drain like *63

Scritto con il pensiero
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
I 'm on Cylon v801 :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
How's that running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
Fast!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
Is there some switch to get fewer steps in the media volume?

It takes very long time to scroll the sound from low to high volume and vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
I increased the steps from 15 to 30 in order for more

precise volume control

even at low volumes. This is very handy and I am suprised about what you say. It stays that way man, sorry!

For those complaining about music effects don't open up awesome beats. Just went through the AndroidManifest.xml for both beats and cm's default dspmanager.apk. They are exactly the same. Went through the code also (smali.com.android.settings.SoundSettings)...the music effects via settings will point at awesomebeats without trouble.It works for me, if it's not working for you then it's just you. No need to change anything. It's all correct.

To be more specific...the beats dsp manager is actually dspmanager. What make the difference are the libraries and various files here and there which actually provide more powerful and enhanced sound. That's about it (in very simple words)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
Even I am noticing considerable drain with Diamond 63.I guess itasous should not add Diamond63 as default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
Who is itasous? :p:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vikram Menon:
Am sorry.. itasoulas should not be adding Diamond 63... But diamond 44 works well with PGM as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
PGM is kernel related and not rom related. Every time a Kernel updates, PGM usually don't working for a few days, until the developer of PGM make it working. This is how things are. I use the paid version (the only working) and i have excepted that PGM wouldn't always work on my phone. Simple as that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
actually I am thinking of AK Cylon 801... older but nice comments on AK thread. It's fast, PGM support... Any comments? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
How are you John? You read my mind. I keep Cylon 801 always in my sd. Next week i charge my prepaid card and i 'll make a good donation to you, because now i 'm broke :)

Edit: Cylon v801 is unbeatable so far in terms of battery life and especially performance and i love the bootsplash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
hey man, still here? are you able to do a small test?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
I' m always here John. What you want to test about? I 'm your tester, don't forget that :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
you said you still have the music effects in sound that don't open up beats, right?

SOLUTION: go to system/app and delete musicfx.apk and reboot. This solves the issue. That app is not of any use as it exists only on stock roms. Deleting that, beats are fully working. Was testing all morning. This was bugging me since day one. I don't know why awesome includes this to his zip and for each and every rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
When i go to system/app and try to delete musicfx.apk show me the 1st screenshot and if i hit permissions the 2nd .How i can change permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
press the "mount r/w" button first :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
It works.I uninstall music fx and now in sounds under music effects now says awesome beats. i don't remember that before.
