Did you get ART working? On CM11 it seems to be a self destruct switch. If you've got ART working I would love to start playiong with PA. If I am not mistaken we should start to see the features next weekish?

Yes. It doesn't matter if it isn't a paranoid Rom. If it's KitKat and your work, it's be gonna great. Thanks

Hi,

use your nice ROM now a couple of month and musst say it is very stable and fast - except by multiuser support ....

Use the 3.99RC2 15.12.2013 ROM with PAGapps 24.10.2013 and the OC kernel 43 20.08.2013.

The fresh installed system runs,even in multiuser (my account as MAIN and protectet by pass, second account my girlfriend - no protectet- and FULL account) it runs flawless.

After a couple of time - it get 2 things - one problem and one horrible bug.

The problem is : After usage over 4-6 days and switches between the accounts - the switch gets slow and on the now active account, it takes minutes to get it sortet - in this time it is slow und sluggish.A boot in TWRP and clear the cache/dalvik make it fast again like fresh installed .....

The Bug : Again "the switch" between accounts. (if the account active - no problem apear)

If my girlfriend use the tablet over an long time (one week or more) alone with his account (she use it much more ...) and then i need to switch to my account - 3 things can happen ...

- The switch is going normal (except maybe the slow performance for a couple of time ..)

- The switch is going to the point who my background is displayed and the pass input field should apear ... but then the teblet reboots and then it is starting and running normal like before reboot

- The horrible bug is the same as above (reboot) .. but with bootloop by the start anim - only clear data bring it back :(

This is very sad - as reinstall 2 accounts with all settings take not only 5 minutes .... (even with TB)

Hope this can fixed (or is in 4.4.x ? ) .... the ROM is very nice and i would still it use for my tablet :)

[but i need an stable multiuser support ...]

Regards

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Even worse, I was using second-hand compatibility reports. Flicked the switch myself today and everything works great. Really noticeable performance increase!

ParanoidAndroid 4.0 Beta now available!

Okay, a little later than I intended, ParanoidAndroid 4.0 Beta 4 is now available for testing. Downloads are available in post 3. Most of the signature features of the ROM are missing, but it works for the most part, aside from a few bugs noted in post 3. Make sure to post any other issues you have, just make sure to say which version of the ROM you're using.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Where are you physically located? You deserve a thorough smooching.

Looking forward to the data2sd & OC kernel!

beta4 first impressions

dear voyager

i have installed the same rom on my nexus 7 grouper(official beta4) and on my tf201(voyager2k beta4) this is my first impressions:

very very very good base for future work

stable like the nexus 7 beta4

most attention to details (official bootanimation; 2 home launcher and all additions)

cured in all

minor bugs( torch and the other written on first page)

very very positive impressions

thanks for donating an amazing version of kitkat to tf201

thanks for your hard work and the continued support

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luckyjj:
Excited to try this as the 4.4.2 cm11 simply does not work on my prime as it is
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pit84:
have you flashed the correct recovery(twrp by voyager2k)?

because the rom workly perfect and is very smooth
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Yeah you must be doing something incorrectly because the ROM works perfectly.

That said, I have always preferred PA to CM, and even though I will miss theme chooser I'll be moving over to this later today!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luckyjj:
No I'm doing everything right for all available instructions, see the appropriate thread. A lot of people seem to have similar issues too. Something is awry about it, it isn't hard to follow simple instructions...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
I know, I'm just still not convinced that people are flashing the recovery properly or have tried clearing fastboot cache.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luckyjj:
Just flashed the new beta no problem, whereas the cm11 build is still impossible for me. So I guess I'm using this :P

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Not if you avoid ART.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LittleKingDutch:
Is anyone else having issues installing paid apps? Getting the error "Could not install to internal memory or SD card." Free apps work fine. I am on beta 4.0, fresh install with latest version of recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Sounds like a write protection issue with your obbs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LittleKingDutch:
Any suggested next step? I am able to create folders in the /obbs directory.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Well, if you can create directories then that guess was off.

Try clearing google play data perhaps?

Failing that, backup and wipe data, dalvik, and cache.

Hmm, you don't happen to use an apps2sd or symlink to sd? I was having trouble with SD storage after installing this ROM but I have not had the time to isolate whether it was a system problem or a problem with the card. I'm assuming its probably just my card because I don't think anyone else has reported problems with it on this rom.

4.0 Beta 4 Install Issue

I'm having an issue trying to install the 4.0-BETA4 version of the ROM..

Here's what's on my tablet:

Bootloader?: "US_epad-10.4.2.15-20130917" A03 (I used the Hairybean 4.1.1 Downgrader zip in case I had went to 4.2.x bootloader)

Recovery: TWRP v2.6.3.0-JB (figured that 4.1.1 was Jellybean and it needed this recovery vs the ICS version)

Flashing: pa_tf201-4.0-BETA4-20140128.zip and gapps-kk-20131119.zip (both from 3rd post)

I wiped my device and tried to flash the PA ROM and was presented with this error: E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/pa_tf201-4.0-BETA4-20140128.zip'

I checked the MD5SUM and it equals what's on Goo.im :confused:

Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
You need to use either my custom TWRP recovery or namidairo's custom CWM recovery to flash this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DizzyThermal:
Sorry for my ignorance.. Thank you Voyager2k :)

I figured it might have been something like that, but I guess I didn't read closely enough.. :silly:

Thanks again!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LittleKingDutch:
I ended up having the same issue on CM11. So I backing up my internal storage and formatting it in TWRP. Problem solved.

I got fast write speeds on 3.99 w/o Data2SD

I have used Data2SD for a while, on both Hairybean and PA 3.99 (I'm still on PA 3.99). But I wanted to go without Data2SD and see how much slower it gets. I was surprised when I ran AndroBench.

Sequential Read: 13.3 MB/s

Sequential Write: 159.77 MB/s

Random read: 4.86 MB/s, 1246.38 IOPS (4K)

Random write: 160.58 MB/s, 41109.08 IOPS (4K)

How did you make the write speed so fast w/o Data2SD, Voyager2k? Amazing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shaolin95:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bklm1234:

Not very sure if this is much better or not really but just throwing it out there as reference running Data2SD.

I know that my prime has always lagged badly when not using Data2SD because it is a hardware issue not something you can solve with software as far as I have read over and over :D

Compared to that, my TFP running PA 3.99RC-2 is doing great on the writes, even without Data2SD

Just waiting on the data2sd kernel before I finally try out the KK build :) PA is still missing some of its old core features which is sad.. but I'm curious as to how KK would keep this old tablet still kicking. :) Good job and thanks so much, Voyager2k :)

Voyager2k, any chance that new builds might use the device independent linaro toolchains featured on the portal? Seems like a no-risk high reward option, but I am no expert.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Maybe in future builds. The next one (which I hope to release in a few days) defiantly won't have it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
any chance for data2sd kernel?

Umm, dude, it's a one line edit in not the first, not the second, but the third post. The OP is confusing as all hell. I understand the nerd need to be a condescending prick whenever possible, but come on. Let's try instead to provide helpful answers to reasonable and polite inquiries or at worst, no answers at all.

Thanks for your hard work Voyager and I am not suggesting you waste time on the OP. It's GREAT to hear that you may take advantage of the linaro toolchains. And that you seem to plan on continuing to support our machines.

Any chance of getting the Theme Engine worked back in as well? ;) Thanks for all your hard work! :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
That'd be up to the PA team, and AFAIK it is not a priority, especially not until after PA features are reworked.

I am under the impression that in general Theme Engine is being phased out and honestly its so old and frail at this point that a swift death would be a mercy.

Several teams at the moment are working on theme engine overhauls or replacements.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias4ever:
Oh I know that the Theme Engine in general is old but I love being able to bring some color onto my Prime honestly. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
I know, I miss it too.

Have you tried xtheme or any of the xposed framework theming modules? I currently don't use them because I like ART runtime but if you don't use ART xtheme does everything that theme engine does.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias4ever:
Honestly I have never heard of xtheme. :eek: Will it work with this ROM? Where can I find it and how do I install it? Would you recommend this ROM over the Unofficial CM11 one? Sorry for all the questions just really wanting 4.0 on my Prime. Thanks so much! :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Yes, I would heartily recommend this over the CM11 rom. It seems a bit more stable and soon PA will have all its old features back like hybrid UI, PIE controls, halo, etc.

Xtheme can be installed into any ROM. Just download xposed framework and install it. There is a built in repository of modules to look through that can emulate most features found in any ROM. Xtheme is available there.

Visit the xtheme thread for themes that have been ported from theme engine. You can also do it yourself easily, or request a port. There's also some available through play store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
-edit-

It's called HK Theme Manager now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabezt:

Hey guys,

[MENTION=3828422]Voyager2k[/MENTION] which is the github repo for the kernel you are using?

I'd like to try to compile it with kexec to get another linux running by dualboot.

Is it this one https://github.com/Voyager2k/android_kernel_asus_tf201 with the CM-11.0 branch?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Yep, that's it.

--Edit--

ParanoidAndroid BETA 5 is available for testing. As usual, post here if you have any problems. You can either download it from my goo.im page or from the download section at the top of the page.

Hi Voyager2K, any way to know the battery level for the dock in the current PA 4.0 build? Thanks!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdlopez83:
Awesome worked voyager, is there a change log by any chance?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Dude, you're a hero.

For the data2sd, if I back up through titanium, it will restore to the external SD card. correct?

And the "optional" step from the data2sd thread will simply copy over all the 'loose' files and folders like download, music, etc?

Does the current data2sd kernel also move /cache? If it does, how much space should I give the third partition?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shaolin95:
Just installed from your 3.99 to this 5 beta with Data2SD. I did not delete internal so it restored all my apps. I will see if I get any issues because of that but testing now.

Thanks a ton!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Passportpowell:
Where the fuzz is pie and halo?

I kid I kid. It's looking good very good I'll hopefully move over from stock in the next few updates. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
There aren't any major changes, but you can always check the github page for a list of tweaks to individual packages.

If you have the Data2SD kernel installed, and are using the default backup directory in TB, then your backup will go to the second partition on the microSD card.

The "optional" step in the old Data2SD thread isn't really needed for this kernel. The way the internal data partition was mounted in the older kernels meant that apps needed root access to read and write to it. One advantage of the enhanced Data2SD kernel is that root access is no longer needed

As for the cache partition, I didn't touch it, so you still only need two partitions.

Did you follow the directions and install a kitkat compatible recovery?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
If you flashed the recovery successfully the version information at the top of the recovery main menu should read "TWRP 2.6.3 Voyager 2K." Or somesuch. That may not be an exact quote. Otherwise it may have been a bad download?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
So after flashing the latest Gapps update through Paranoid OTA, I've encountered crippling issues.

Constantly receiving the error "An application requires installation of Google Play Services," and clicking it brings up the Play Store, which asks me to select the account, but selecting any of my accounts simply brings up the account selection dialog box again. Hitting "cancel" leaves me at a blank white Google Play store that doesn't respond to search attempts. All my gapps crash at bootup,

This issue persists after reflashing the original Gapps package indicated in the OP and a fresh download of the latest package, and clearing cache/data from Play Store app.

Any ideas? What the hell?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
The problem seems to be with that gapps package. Reflash the ROM and the gapps package I provided, then ignore any notifications from paranoid OTA. That app doesn't do anything for us anyway and I plan to remove it in the next build. I'll update the OP later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Haha, this is exactly what I did! Thanks again man.

Highly anticipating the next build. Can we expect the OC Kernel, linaro toolchain,and your very own handcrafted from scratch replicas of the original PA features?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
:D

I won't promise anything, but I might try to get the OC kernel working in time for the next build, and maybe use the linaro toolchain. As for the PA features, I'm just as anxious as you are for PA to re-add them.

I'm curious though, when you were using that pa gapps package, were you using the ART or Dalvik runtime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
I had ART enabled before flashing and didn't change it, so presumably it was ART. Works perfectly on your rom with a proper working GAPPS package. One last question for you if you've got time--after switching to the data2sd kernel, I'm not able to access the 32gb of internal storage. I believe its mounted as "sdcardi" and returns an "access was denied" error when I try to open it in a file manager.

Also the data2sd partition won't show up in TWRP. If these are all known issues with answers, apologies, I don't know how much stock to put in anything found in the data2sd kernel thread as it seems to be out of date.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Which file manager are you using? Everything's working fine on my end. As for TWRP, I believe the Data2SD partition shows up under the sd-ext folder. It doesn't auto-mount, so you'll have to go to the mount menu first and mount it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
It was FX, but I just tried in ES as well. Can't read from or write to /sdcardi.

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 AM ----------

I'm wondering if maybe I'm encountering issues because originally I did follow the instructions in the data2sd kernel thread including the terminal commands. Though, a full wipe before installing new rom including system partition should preclude this, no? I always do a complete wipe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Maybe. I only mention that thread because the formatting instructions are there. Try this:

1. Format /system, /cache, /dalvik, and /sd-ext

2. Flash the ROM + Gapps

3. Reboot (let the progress bar fill)

4. Reboot into recovery again

5. Flash the Data2SD kernel

6. Reboot and proceed as normal

Let me know if you still have issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Aha, I'll give that another shot--but that reminded me that I got a failure when I tried formatting sd-ext last. Worrying.

Once I get this figured out I'll try to write up a FAQ/install guide for the data2sd kernel. If its not already it might help to append a brief warning against relying on the other thread if not a basic "To install data2sd simply format your SDcard into two partitions and flash the new file. No additional steps are required, and the dedicated thread is no longer up to date and may cause issues."

If a formatting sd-ext again produces a failure I'll turn to aparted and try a reformat there.

-edit-

Ooh boy. Can't mount sd-ext in TWRP.

Aparted shows no partitions on sdcardi. Can't format it, add new partitions, delete partitions, repair, etc.

**** me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
If you can, try plugging the microSD card into a computer and use a partition manager to look at the partitions that way. I use gparted on linux myself. For some peace of mind, load the ROM normally, no Data2SD, just to make sure your data is still there. I've already removed the link to the old thread from the OP since it seems to be causing confusion and I'll add the formatting instructions to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Well, I have backups, so there's no chance I'll lose data. To clarify: both partitions of my samsung external microsd card are accessible. The 32gb of internal memory is what cannot be touched. I'll tinker about with it tomorrow, but I am guessing that removing the card and installing everything over again to the internal memory will do the trick.

I may have installed the rom and the data2sd all at once in a TWRP queue without the reboot in between. That right there is probably the cause.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
That could be, PM me if you have any more questions/problems. In the meantime, I've updated post three of the OP with a quick guide for partitioning the microSD card per your suggestion.
