@itasoulas your rom is amazing. Flashed with AK pirates 704 and going very well. I love everything about this rom especially theming and speaker volume. Check the status bar (settings and icons) of rootbox, it would be nice if you can add in the future updates and also the ability to have the power menu in a toggle or nav button. Keep up and thanks for sharing. :good::good::good:

Request to dev: Please apply fix for half-blocked contact picture during incoming calls.

use APK Tool to edit system app, in this case is Phone.apk

Decompile it, and go to: \res\layout\incall_touch_ui.xml

Then edit the value from black to transparent. like here:

Save, then recompile, push it back. You are good to go.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
will do for next update on Sunday, thanks :good:

PS: Just fixed the white frame in settings, right hand side, when in tab mode. Now it's all black and better looking :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
Hi,

I think the SMS theming is not the best.

White / grey text.

White / blue should give it a better contrast, as in thyrus

bug?: reboot menu doesn´t show reboot options any more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hapsnykel:
Turn it on in settings, system, power menu -> reboot menu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
Yes, already tried that. no difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hapsnykel:
It works for me, as soon as i press reboot, i get to choose between reboot, recovery and bootloader....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
OK, not for me tho. Maybe ill have to do a full wipe. which I dont want =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
it has been discussed a million times in cm thread. CM now has that option under settings/develop otpions/advanced reboot. No need for a full wipe. And just to make things clear...for bug roms report to cm thread as this rom in not altered in any other way except theming and prop tweaks (and audio) ;) It is very important if you use this rom to also follow cm thread as all bugs and fixes are reported there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
thanks man!

too bad it always have to be something that´s hard to find.

Maybe im getting to old and should head for WP8 or some.

what about the colors for SMS?

White / grey
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
Well I don't see anything bad. Text is white as it should be. Maybe change send/receive date @holo blue? Will check though

Ps: @ the dentist! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAWS:
White / holoblue should give it a better contrast, as in thyrus

for receiver / sender

hope the bill will be cheap ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
yeah, no problems dude. Will do it for the Sunday Update. So we have the following changes so far for Sunday:

mms: received text white

mms: sent text holo blue

settings: fixed white frame on right side when in tablet ui

phone: full pic when receiving calls

+ black semi-transparent widgets instead of full black

+ no white frame on widgets
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freerider_4life:
Decent ROM but I cannot use it due to the following reasons.

Volume can be adjusted on lock screen, so I'm constantly missing messages and phone calls because I use volume rocker to wake.

There is no longer the option to boot in to recovery from power menu.

There is no ability to set a long press function for nav bar.

The rom LOOKS awesome, but all these bugs adding up is forcing me to flash something else. Thank you for all your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
No worries man. Reboot menu is still there though. CM decided to have this as optional feature which can be enabled via developer options in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freerider_4life:
I didn't know I could enable that from developer settings, thank you.

If there is anything at all that could be done, please make it optional or remove the volume adjust from the lock screen. That is my biggest issue.

That being said, this is truly an awesome ROM, thank you for all your hard work. I will come back next update if this can be fixed.

ps I would totally donate if you had/get that set up. I like supporting people who make quality products.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shamarshall:
WOW

im really impressed with the speed and flow of this rom. im loving it.

one thing ive noticed so far tho, is that the new android swiping doesnt work.

any suggestions??

ill try a reboot and clear caches after my restore is done and see if that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leftis69:
I have flash in my nexus many roms, but yours is simply the best out there with attention to the details. Thank you for sharing with us and also for taking seriously our requests for making this rom better and better. I have another for you, i don't know how easy or not this could be. I' m talking about the keyboard, long pressed numbers and symbols are gray. Baked rom has the same functional keyboard but the numbers and symbols are blue, more beautifull and convenient for my old eyes :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
for my old eyes...how old? Like 80? :D

anyway, I have absolutely no clue about this but will have a look. maybe "keyHintLetterColor" value is the right one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
battery life, especially this time and till 4.2.2 code if fully merged and bug fixing is done, is very dependant on each cm nightly that comes out. But in general, PitchBlack is well balanced with a small trend on the performance side. Something like 60%perf - 40%bat. life

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwallersv:
I have a complete setup for the Nexus 7, part of a product we are working on, that I need to easily clone on "virgin" tablets for production. The app requires a rooted OS.

I want to write an installation script using fastboot to unlock the bootloader, erase partitions, then flash them with .img files for each partition (kernel, system, cache, etc.).

How do I extract .img files from my "master" tablet? I have an understanding from some where that these are simple byte-for-byte dumps of the partition -- is this true? As such can I create a .img file by simple doing 'cat blkfile >file.img' where "blkfile" is the appropriate block device for the partition in question?

Or do I need to use 'dd'? Or something else?

I have searched and searched, and can't find an anwer. I've found other answers using some tools to create these files from a build on a PC, but nothing about creating them from an existing tablet.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
Use the dd command. You can use it both to dump and write a partition. It's how I install recovery programs like TWRP

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You can use dd for the boot partition and recovery partition - they are raw binary blobs. (Don't use dd on other Android devices, esp. those that have MTD flash devices, though - it only works most of the time there)

If you want to use the same fastboot-based scenario that Google uses for factory image sets, then for the system & userdata image files you will need to find out about "sparse ext4 filesystem images"

If you took a raw block-device based dump of any of your tablet ext4 partitions, you could actually take those image files and mount them on any other linux machine (using a loopback mount procedure).

But you will find that if you attempt to do that with the Google factory ".img" files (for system & userdata partitions), they will not mount. It's not a simple matter of a offset superblock, either.

Since these are the formats that the stock recovery expects, I suppose you ought to use those formats if you want to do the "all at once all partitions" fastboot flashing if you plan on using the stock recovery.

Note that there is absolutely nothing that prevents you from unpacking whatever you want from whatever archive format you want - so long as the recovery's busybox supports the archive format correctly - you could use cpio or pax or tar archives for that matter. (The stock recovery's "toolbox" has very little functionality, so this comment applies to custom recoveries, which typically have more robust functionality in their busybox) You will be writing your own scripts to do those things though, typically either in one of two ways:

1.A mount target filesystem partition

1.B do a deep recursive remove at that mountpoint ( rm -rf * )

1.C unpack your archive into same mount point ( tar xf archive.tar, etc)

1.D unmount the mount point

OR

2.A unmount target partition and zero it out (dd if=/dev/zero, flash_erase, etc)

2.B recreate filesystem in partition (mke2fs -t ext4 etc)

2.C mount target filesystem

2.D unpack your archive into the same mount point (tar xf archive, pax, cpio, unyaffs2, etc)

2.E unmount that mountpoint

Even though this post is for the Samsung Galaxy S II, the same thing applies to the factory Nexus 7 images from Google:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081239

As that thread mentions, the simg2img and mkuserimg.sh programs are part of the Android project.

Here's a Nexus 7 thread where the contributor built the tools for both x86 linux and arm linux

Finally, I should note that because /system is typically mounted read-only, imaging /system from the live OS is no big deal. Trying to do the same thing with /data is an extremely dopey idea, however. Accurate backups are rarely made from live read-write filesystems.

cheers

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldoro:
Hello all,

I'm having some trouble with my p4wifi. It's stuck in a bootloop. Well... it boots, but then after 10 to 15 seconds the screen goes black and it starts booting again. Want to get some advice here before I go and damage it even more trying to fix it :o

Here is what I did so far:

1. When the problem occured I was running cm-10.1-20130203-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip with stock kernel. I used cm10.1 for a few weeks without any problems. Don't remember witch 10.1 nigtly I started with.

2. I came from CM10 liquid pure JB 4.1.2. Before that I was running CM9. Before updating to CM10 I updated my bootloader to US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader. This was recommended in the cm10 liquid pure thread.

3. First thing I did after the problem occured was updating to cm-10.1-20130205-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip, hoping it would be fixed in a new Nightly. No solution...

4. Then I did a wipe/factory reset + wiped cache + wiped dalvik cach... Still the same problem

5. Then I did a nandroid restore. Restoring didnt go smooth though.... CWM said my backup directory was empty. Searched the internet for a solution and found it: moved the nandroid backup files to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/[backupdate] (via ADB) The nandroid restore then worked.... . The backup I restored is a CM9. Still the same bootloop though

6. Did a wipe/factory reset + wiped cache + wiped dalvik cach... didnt help...

I have also made a logcat.txt, will attach it to this post. Don;t have much experiance with logcat. I just executed 'adb logcat -d > logcat.txt' after my tab made a view bootloops.

Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

I couldnt find list of bugs for CM10, speciifcally for stable or Milestones.

If there is a link to what I'm asking for above that will be great. If not, i'll continue reading through the threads.

I'm looking at CM10 and I've been reading lots of issues even at stable......sometimes it makes me think

1) Why do people flash custom roms?

2) is it worth getting a new menu but in exchange your camera, bt, or whatever might not work. Or worse yet, something that you need but only discover that it doesnt work when you use it on the spot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
understand that some of these roms have bugs to be worked out due to the fact that they're still very new. also, many users experience bugs/glitches, etc on stable roms because they dont follow the developers installation instructions. take the time to read up on these roms and you'll be able to conclude that many bugs are the result of user error. a solid rom by a great developer (installed properly) can make your S3 the best phone you've ever had. what are you running at the moment?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
running Paranoid Android.

It's fairly stable, I haven't ran into too many problems yet.

I did notice it was a bit laggier than my stock ICS after my ICS was supercharged with V6.

its also a bit laggier on games.

It delivers a few customizations i like, like calls only log, custom boot animation, customizable quick launch, face unlock that is fickle.....but i just cant see as of right now why I would change? I lose the ability to make folders on trebuchet (yes....i know Nova Prime), I lose hand swipe screen capture, i lose smart stay (yes there are apps for it). I almost wnat to say battery is a bit worse than stock, during idle its about the same.

You also lose s planner which i found a replacement apps. It just seems like a lot of work restoring sms, tibu, changing all settings to your liking, reinstalling launcher and load settings, loading contact information etc etc for the ability to add toggles, sliding background......

I'm cool for the aesthetics, but i wonder is there any practical improvements, as in performance, speed, signal, battery life.... i think i would enjoy that rom better..........would going to AOKP be the one for me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I enjoy AOKP, but I could care less about many of the touchwiz features that many people look for/enjoy. I love the performance and reliability of AOKP as well as the ability to tweak/customize. Download Super Backup for your sms/apps, etc, make a nandroid and give something else a shot if you'd like. I've been using AOKP's 4.1.2 release since late last year and I'm not switching any time soon. I've downloaded and flashed the Nexus 4 camera (on xda forum) and have exactly the S3 I want
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Yea i figured i'd jump to AOKP next since PA has CM10 integrated within it already.

I've also tried Ariel (ICS rom), not only did it lack customizability, it wasnt stable. it felt like a less stable version of stock..... i was highly disappointed in my first custom rom. Its not that i like TW necessarily, but the way that everything is set up, its pretty smooth for me and the battery is good too.

I want to try out AOKP or PK before making a decision though.

CM is on Android 4.1.x

Sony's official Firmware is still on ICS (4.0.x). Here's the problem:

You need proper camera drivers to get the 1080p. Sony is not providing them for jellybean right now. We'll have to wait till sony releases Jellybean for the XS, then port that camera driver to CM-Based Roms.

The drivers now used are just compatibiliy drivers
