Yes this has been my experience too. I am on a 3113. In addition to the half-screen problem I required a second step. Replacing the bootanimation allowed the newly flashed rom to boot with a full screen but after a reboot the tab was stuck on the Samsung boot screen (the Samsung logo, not the bootanimation). I have found if I flash the Blackhawk kernel then this resolves the problem. So my process is as follows:

Tested on 3113 only

1 - Download the nightly rom

2 - Open the nightly zip file

3 - Replace boot.img with the one extracted from the Blackhawk kernel

blackhawk-next-kernel-1.8.3-p31xx.zip - [overclockable version]

blackhawk-next-kernel-1.8.3-nooc-p31xx.zip - [no overclocking]

4 - Replace the system/media/bootanimation file bootanimation.zip from Zeetherocker

5 - Optional volume mod to boost the volume from here

replace the system/etc/sound/expressowifi file with one found in one of these zip files

NONstock boosted volume.zip - [moderate boost]NONstock Max volume.zip - [Max boost]

You really only need to do #4 to get a bootable rom. If the tab gets stuck on reboot, then you can flash the Blackhawk kernel and reboot. Doing all these steps on the rom before you flash gives you a single rom file to flash in one step.

Question, if this is official why is this not called PAC-MAN like all the others? Not doubting you, just curious.

It is called PAC Man :confused:

Is it good with stock kernel here? For better daily used and gaming
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nick0703:
Stock kernel (CM) is ok, but I'd recommend using Ketut's kernel or Agni. Either ways both of them is good. And I noticed that the buildbot maintained ROM doesn't come with Ketut's kernel. I'll post an update for that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nick0703:
It used to PAC-MAN, but we changed it to PAC-ROM now. It's still the same thing.:p

updates feedbacks on nightly builts

ok thanks all for the useful comments.

I tried reflashing with nightly built 20130821 with [MENTION=4457320]zeetherocker[/MENTION] 's boot animation.zip. Yes it does boot up , but it give me a "BLAME THE TYLER acore.process error, and My Dialer doesnot work!. I downloaded and reflash with nightly built 20130826. ok with this 20130826 nightly builds, gave me more issues!. I reflashed several times, and i gave up. my gt-p3100 is down now. (thank god, not brick, still recoverable -*touch wood*). I prepared 2 zips of the 20130826 builds, 1 with replaced zeetherocker's boot animation.zip, the other without.

In Portrait's mode, i flashed with the stock 20130826 nightly built (with gapp- 4.3.0-signed.zip version), gave me the black screen of death . so FINE. Reboot into RECOVER reflashed with replaced bootanimation.zip 20130826 nightly built zip, STILL IN Portrait mode, I didnt see any BOOT ANIMATION LOGO,and gave me the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH.

and WTF! it was already LATE at night, and i off to bed, and put my GT-P3100 into landscape mode, lay on bed, did a TOTAL CLEAN WIPE OFF reflash, and reflashed with original 20130826 nightly built,, REBOOT in LANDSCAPE mode, was dog-tired and dozing off, and to my HORROR. it DOES BOOT UP! EXCEPT it is half screen to the RIGHT! SO, it occurred to me, actually in PORTRAIT mode, it does BOOT UP, just that the LEFT HALF SCREEN IS BLANK OFF< and i couldnt see the RIGHT side. ONLY IN LANDSCAPE mode, i can see the RIGHT HALF OF the screen!

ok that my experience and feedback. [MENTION=3443526]Nick0703[/MENTION] i not complaining or demanding anything., as you posted, you dont own a GT-P3100. I thought it be good to share my feedback with you. If you have time and you could sort the landscape and portrait issues. lastly appreciate your time building a PAC-ROM for our GT-P3100.

cheerios!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] bimasakti85:
Have you flash agni's or ketut.kumajaya's kernel? Here is what I did :

1. Make nandroid backup

2. Wipe system, data, and cache from recovery mode (I use phils recovery rom).

3. Flash the modified bootanimation.zip (actually you can replace it with any working bootanimation, I use my galaxy nexus's bootanimation) pac rom 4.3 rom.

4. Flash agni's 4.3 kernel

5. Flash PA gapps 4.3

6. Reboot
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
Yeah, blame Tyler! He is very popular these days.

The only time I got those process.android.acore has stopped messages is when I tried to dirty flash 4.3 on top of 4.2.2

I have never seen those on a clean install of 4.3 or on a dirty flash from 4.3 to 4.3

I have seen process.android.phone has stopped. I just deleted phone.apk from my rom because I have a 3113 which does not have a phone radio so I have no use for the phone.apk.

Who exactly is Tyler anyway?

My 4.3 PAC rom (the recent Aug nightlies) is rather laggy. I use Apex launcher and it has been good in the past and on my other tablet. I prefer tablet mode which is supposed to be the least laggy but on the GTab2 it is still laggy. I even set Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale settings in the Developer Options all to .5 which is known to reduce lag. It is still laggy. It is almost as bad as Eclair on an old Driod.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] kthomson205:
OK, to all of you that are complaining...this has been done for you free, without ANY warranty. The 3100 has always given issues for custom Roms, that's why there are ROM either for the 3100, or for 3110/3113. Not all 3(usually.) Instead of complaining/whining so much, about random issues, give the man a logcat so he can actually try to repair the problem you are talking about. I'm done....

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] !GreddyZC76:
thanks

[MENTION=5060089]kthomson205[/MENTION] thank you sir.

just to make it very clear again. i fully understand and aware that all custom ROM are developed free of charge and out of developers' free time. i'm deeply appreciative of that. and i also fully aware it is up to individuals to install any custom ROM, and NO 1 WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE .

Thanks again [MENTION=3443526]Nick0703[/MENTION].:good:

my sole purpose is to provide my feedback and a means of sharing. that all.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zeetherocker:
I know it isn't required but here's the original PAC-MAN bootanimation... Try it..

And one more thing to solve the bootanimation glitch flash next kernel ( Idk abt other ones coz I've not used them) and then edit build.prop set the hwrotation value to 0.. Even the crt off animation will start working properly then... Enjoy...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] archcantor:
Agreed. I'm curious too and I certainly don't blame him. I think the whole thing is humorous and I feel badly that Tyler has to take the hit because his name comes up in an error message. We're all appreciative of the work that everyone is doing on this rom.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ketut.kumajaya:
You could try another kernel with hwrotation=0. Maybe just odd behavior touchscreen and wrong orientation camera :D

# Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 auto rotation script
# Ketut P. Kumajaya, June 2013

# parsing build.prop
if busybox [ $(busybox cat /system/build.prop | busybox grep -c ro.sf.hwrotation=270) -eq 1 ]; then
# make sure the touchcreen driver in portrait mode
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/tsp/pivot
else
# make sure the touchcreen driver in landscape mode
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/tsp/pivot
# set accelerometer and geomagnetic sensor, landscape mode
position=$(busybox find /sys/devices/virtual/input/ -type f -name name | busybox xargs busybox grep '^accelerometer$' | busybox sed 's@name:accelerometer@position@')
echo -n 7 > $position
position=$(busybox find /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_i2c.4/i2c-4/4-002e/input/ -type f -name name | busybox xargs busybox grep '^geomagnetic$' | busybox sed 's@name:geomagnetic@position@')
echo -n 7 > $position
fi

Since codeworkx added pivot mode to touchscreen driver + my fix for runtime setting, you can adapt above code as an init.d script using stock kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nick0703:
To all who's is asking who Tyler is and why does it say "Blame Tyler", here is the answer.

Tyler is one of the maintainers for PAC and why does it say "Blame Tyler", it's because whenever we work on something and it doesn't work, we blame it on Tyler as joke.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] goldflame09:
All of you guys/girls need to understand something.

All of this is done freely by devs such as [MENTION=3443526]Nick0703[/MENTION] and myself. At any point in time, we can just stop and not have to do this anymore. so yes, we realize that not everything is going to work the way its intended to right away. I believe we all know right about now that there are issues with the 4.3 builds. [MENTION=3443526]Nick0703[/MENTION] just got back from vaca maybe a week ago. give him time to settle back in as he missed the whole merge to 4.3.

so when you guys/girls find things that arent working, try your best to not only say they are not working, but to grab logs if possible, and maybe even post some pictures if you have to.

if all of you just go around saying "X, Y, and Z are broken" and thats it, how are we supposed to help fix it. many of us dont have the device to experiment on, so we dont know. we count on you guys to grab logs and do what you can to assist your dev in helping to fix this stuff.

i know youve been mad over this, but how about we all just take a deep breath and calm down. ok?

simple guidelines when something isnt working:

make sure if its not working on dirty flash, try clean and by clean i mean wipe everything (data, system, etc)

if that doesnt help, grab logs. helps to go back to dirty flashing so adb is enabled

grab anything you need to that you think will be helpful

post it all here explaining whats happened and what the results are

simple enough??

i think so

so please, respect your community devs. thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] !GreddyZC76:
thanks [MENTION=4757337]goldflame09[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3443526]Nick0703[/MENTION]. as i mentioned, i'm providing a mean of feedback, as i understand you all doesnt have a device to check. that my only objective. and yes, i would be more glad to grab log, if you teach me how, i will be willing to use my device as a testbed for your developments.

To summarise my feedback, on nightly built 20130821for GT-P3100, clean reflash and with replaced animation by [MENTION=4457320]zeetherocker[/MENTION], replice boot.image kernel by blackhawk [MENTION=4021423]ketut.kumajaya[/MENTION] -1.8

2. focal intermittent close.

3. unable to do a pac-rom OTA update

I like this ROM very much, but because of the PPP Widget i cannot use it :crying:

Let me explain : PPP widget needs the modem driver in order to use a 3G dongle, but in Android 4.3 dynamic loading of modules has been disabled (blame Google :eek:), is it possible to add the modem module or ability to load modules back in this ROM's kernel ?

On PPPWidget site it says :

Also, another question, is XPosed Framework supported or will it be supported in a future update (don't know if xPosed works with Android 4.3 or not) ?

P.S. i have a P3110 tablet, that's why i would need the PPP Widget support, I already have a 3G dongle that works with a 4.2 ROM, but i'd like to upgrade to 4.3 and the PacRom seems to be one of the best 4.3 ROMs.

No, the latest nightly (compiled by me) can be found with the OTA app. It's not on the pacman.basketbuild.com yet. And currently we're having problems with our buildbot and it should be fixed soon.

EDIT 1: [MENTION=5274263]fooiskandar[/MENTION], open the .zip file, go to \META-INF\com\google\android\ and open the updater-script. Remove these lines :

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p3100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p3100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P3100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P3100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "espressorf" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "espressorf" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "espressorfxx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "espressorfxx");

If you are using the NEXT Kernel you have to enable it.

You can enable logger by editing

After that reboot the device and logcat will be possible ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tsatomas:
OK this is good but how I enable it? Should I change insmod or what? I thought it could be easy ( like 0 to 1) but I feel foolish. I saw your post in kernel thread so I hope you can help me ( in this I am noobie)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Android-Andi:
It is easy ;)

Open the path

/system/etc/init.d/

open the "02modules" with a text-editor.

change the line

(...)
# - Android logger
#insmod /system/lib/modules/logger.ko
(...)

to

(...)
# - Android logger
insmod /system/lib/modules/logger.ko
(...)

You only have to remove the "#" ;)

Save the file and exit.

Reboot device.

Done. That´s it.
