Yes tried it, no luck, still waiting for proper solution
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haramizuki:
The fix works for some. Unfortunately, i'm not included in the "some". XD so just like blue said, let's just hope cm will fix it asap and won't ignore it for very long *crossfingers* ~

btw, pac + kangbang kernel is a good combo for me. Not a second lag. So happy. ~ memory is always more than 150mb. I experience having less than 100mb with the other two kernels. ^^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pulangratz:
hope this will be fix soon :(,..really need my gps... I have pac+dori 31.. ave usage 1 and 1/2 day battery.. smooth also...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nomisch:
Did you try the method described below? It worked like a charm for me as written in my previous post.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pulangratz:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsycox:
Sorry, have not been around for a while.

Is the PA preferences fix still needed in those current nightlies?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arpinacio:
no need
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsycox:
Man, are you REALLY sure about that?

I just flashed a nightly and without the PA preferences fix I can not see my backups. If I flash the fix, the backups are back there.

So, you might be wrong, right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaveJeep:
I'm on the latest nightly. Been updating almost daily. I always seem to have problems with autorotation and sometimes the proximity sensor so when I'm talking on the phone, the screen won't go off. How can I fix this? I used to use getril and once matching everything worked ok. But last time I used getril I had no signal problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] deedii:
Is the touch responsiveness is really slow? Is it just me or anyone experiencing the same.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cybernetus:
Oh, yes, the backup on HDPI devices isn't fixed by the PA Team, but, i believe we had many workarounds for this problem.

On a dirty flash your old configs are recognized by the PA Preferences on boot.

If you flash your rom with a full wipe the titanium backup is your friend. Go to the option 'restore system apps and data' and search for the PA Preferences". Recover this, reboot your phone and your old configs are back.

And, the last option is flash the old ParanoidPreferencesfix.zip.

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsycox:
Thanks for your help, but I am good though. I just needed to know: Fix needed or not?

The how-to is no problem for me. I am using the (your?) fix for a while now. :)

But you are wrong about one thing: I was on 22.1 and made a dirty flash with today's nightly. That is correct, but I could not see the config backup files I had. When I flashed the PA pref. fix, they backup config files were back. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cybernetus:
If your problem is see your backups, yes, you need the old fix :)

But, if you isn't need to see the backups, the howto is a good option for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ProLen:
Same here. However, I use AndroSensor ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivasim.androsensor) to wake the sensors. Just open the app and it will work again.

Works for auto-brightness also if your screen remains dark.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
About the pAPref (backup/restore), the bug is still there and since it's closed source there's sadly nothing to be done until PA team fixes it..

I found an easy workaround tho here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42665311

GPS fix cybernetus suggested worked fine for me btw, thank you, now it locks even faster than on previous versions!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BossNexusS:
I figured out a workaround to this issue a whole ago but I didn't think to suggest it here. Its much easier than all the other methods..

1) make all your changes you want in PApref

2) I use es explorer, go to /etc/paranoid and copy the properties.conf to the SD card

3) flash new nightly or ROM whatever..

4) on new rom/ nightly go to yes file explorer and mount system as r/w and copy the properties.conf you copied to your SD card and paste it back into the /etc/paranoid/ folder and

5) just do a reboot and your phone should load up with the papref you created on the old ROM/nightly

And that's it :) simple
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
Yeap, the scripts/flashing zips I posted do pretty much the same thing :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pulangratz:
Still not working. I just wait for updates...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaveJeep:
I tried this today and it makes my auto brightness work but not auto rotation. Anything else?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BossNexusS:
Haha yeah I know but that way you have to flash and all that stuff this is just simple reboot haha .. yes I'm lazy :p

Hi,

Coming from Samsung based roms like WanamLite and NeatRom I have been more and more intrigued by PACman over the last months.

Are the stable releases recommended for daily use? Or is nightly 26/06 better? Seems popular. Or should I wait for the next stable release?

As you might guess, l'm not a frequent flasher. :o

Sorry for any stupid questions. Did my best to read the thread before asking.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
Stables are the best option but as we get closer to next release the night lies become rock stable too

If you want the latest stuff nightly is your answer and if you want milestones builds that are known to be stable then stable Is your option
[Galaxy S II Android Development] parag1dubey:
Hi blue, i have tried several 4.2.2 roms over the last few months but never achieved battery life comparable to samsung roms. My usage on both roms is the same but still 4.2.2 roms give less screen on time.. Its the only reason why I am still using 4.1.2 sammy roms. Is there any way to achieve 4 hours screen on time with 2g data on all the time? That's what I get on samsung stock roms.. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nomisch:
I use the stable V23.0. It is perfectly usable for everyday use and already has quite nice features. I have been using several roms since I have my SGS2, not a flash freak but I like to chnage from time to time (Resurrection rom, slimBean, and a few others). My impressions are good battery life, responsive UI, almost no freeze, good settings & options (hybrid properties are really a plus) and funny stuff to play with (I tried Halo for a few days, have disabled it now). Only negative point: sometimes the phone gets a bit hot when intensive usage but this happens with most roms.

Some have GPS issues but most people have been able to fix them. You should try that at the beginning.

Would defintaley advise to try the stable one ....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -ix-:
Big thanks to both of you! Flashing stable v.23 right now. Excited. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
you need to wait for the media scanners to finish before testing battery

i say wait for about 3 battery cycles before deciding anything

i personally got the same battery life on both samsung ics and pacman (samsung 4.1.2 had worse battery life for me)

the key here is check bbs if you are having unusual drains

i cant answer all posts right now, working on my new tablet z that just arrived yesterday :victory:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaveJeep:
Is there a problem with auto rotation? I used to fix it with GetRil but last time it made me loose signal. I just tried it again on this nightly and it didn't make me loose signal but never fixed the issue, and seemed to cause the phone to be slow. I was answered in a previous post to try AndroSensor and it made my auto brightness work but not the rotation. I'm on the nightly from the 30th. Any ideas?

Edit: just noticed when I hook usb to my cell it says no storage left on my internel sd card.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JokerAce:
For the 2606 build, the brightness control from status bar is still not rectified, right? I did a clean install and it's still the same. I have to enable and unable that function after every reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GoJo ^^:
Try another phone maybe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaveJeep:
Now since flashing nightly July 02, my phone says the SD card is full. I usually have 3 or 4 roms in my download folder. Right now I've deleted a couple to try and free up space still says full. I flashed back to June 30th nightly and still saying full. It says 11.5gb of 11.5gb used. I can't download anything else because says no space. Hope you can help. Thanks

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaveJeep:
Can anyone help me with this? My SD card is saying it's full since I flashed july 2 nightly build. I can't flash any other rom now because it says my SD card is full. I only had the june 30 nightly build on my phone and nothing else to flash so I flashed it and still says SD card is full. Any ideas how to get past this? My SD card definetly isn't full but it's saying 11.5gb of 11.5gb full. So my phone is pretty much locked to the june 30 build because I deleted the july 2 rom I had.

Edit: Just saw the above post, I will try, thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

I tried this and when I click on "remove fixes and backups" nothing happens. I waited a few minutes and rebooted but no change. I gave the app root permissions. Do I have to do anything after clicking it?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaveJeep:
I just searched and found to look in data/logs and only found 22mb worth, deleted and still didn't make any difference in my phone storage. Earlier I said the phone was showing 11.5gb of 11.5gb full. It actually says 11.48gb of 11.5gb used. Doesn't matter what I delete it doesn't change the ammount of memory shown.

Edit: Found a log of 3.49gb in sd card/log, deleted and all is good now. Thanks for the help guys!

I'm not sure but I'm going to dual boot this With biftor v9 modded rom for 2nd rom and I'm going to boot pac on 1st rom with dorimanx 8.32. Now the question...will pac boot on 8.32? I no I'm ment to use 9.32 but will it boot on 8.32 many thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] farisyi1:
First try use v23 and i'm so impressed bcoz so much feature for daily use.. Thanks and regards :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cybernetus:
The best option for PAC is the 9.x versions' because PAC is based on cyanogen :)

9.33 is very stable
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pulangratz:
What is the effect when you reflash your rom to the previous version. E.g. from nightly rom 6/29 to v23
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
You go back to v23, nothing else
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
Thanks for responding mate. Iv had 6/26 running with 9.32 and yes it was solid but I keep swaping Bk to 4.1.2. Iv worked it out that 8. Is for both custom and stock. As biftor rom is stock to dual boot I need to run 8. I just wanted to no if anyone had done it already. :thumbup:

Edit 8.32 is running ok atm. Il leave it a while and then flash modded biftor rom to 2nd Rom. :thumbup:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
Iv just killed it by switching it on! Thanks for the info mate :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsycox:
I just do not undertand, what you wrote. :)

My slider is NOT working at all. I can move up the brightness until the crudest point,

but I can not slide it down. It stays there.

Therefore the brightness slider does not work (on my handset, at least).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] parag1dubey:
Guys, which kernel is better for battery life for you guys on pac 23? Dorimanx or stock kernel or some other?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olarf:
Its pretty hard Tod compare because ebery day the use is slightly different. On dorimanx you have more options to go for Batterie saving options but also for Batterie eating settings :D Both give me good results so far. So if you like to hunt for settings, go for dorimanx, if you prefer a good and rock solid setting, stay on stock kernel!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JokerAce:

Hi guys, I'm on v23, I'd like to try the 4/07 nightly. Is it better to perform a full wipe or just flash?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
Always better to do a clean full wipe install with any Rom. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olarf:
A clean flash ia for sure good but i always flash with just wiping cache and dalvik cache as long as the basic Version is the same and i never had any problems. So from my experience there is no need to full wipe to go from v23 to 4.07 nightly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
Just to update were im at if anyone is bothered iv got pacman on 1st rom and biftor v9 on 2nd rom with dorimanx 8.32 . And its all working lovely. I left pac alone for a few hrs to see if if would run ok on 8.32 and is fine . Im a flash mad man and now im sorted running 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 :thumbup:

Good battery life today on Pacman v23 stock kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
ok someone reported a possible cause of random reboots

if [MENTION=5061134]Fidinator[/MENTION] is right, reboots are caused by custom lockscreen wallpaper, from which i remember we had a reboot problem with lockscreen being in land scape mode

right now we are investigating this, Fidinator might become a pac hero from this :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsycox:
I downloaded latest nightly (07-05) and want to make a COMPLETE new installation.

All the time everyone says "just clear Dalvik and other caches, that is enough", but in the end every time I do so, I realize there are still left-overs from the old installation.

I really want to have everything gone and flash/install from the scratch. What is the step to have everything cleared out?

Thank you in advance.

PS Of course, I mean everything cleared out on internal SD only, not on external. :)

If that doesn't work, I also am attaching a flashable zip that enables static nav. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got it from and have renamed it since :( once I find where I got it from I will edit this post...

Try wiping/factory reset in recovery, or using a ROM Nuke script or ROM Reset script found here:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
For clean install go to recovery and

Format cache

Format system

Format data

Format int sd

Make sure you have Rom and gapps and what ever you may need on ext sd like modems kernels apps you like and data the data you may like to keep.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olarf:
In case of a full wipe I also Format the system. It should happen with factory reset but i always get better results with an additional Format system.

In General on all Roms i use so far on my i9000 and i9100 i had more trouble after full wipes then after "dirt" flash with just wipe cache and dalvik. Full wipe is needed just in case oft major changes.

Thats my personal experience from several 100 flashings on several different phones.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
System dont get wiped on factory reset only cache and data gets wiped. System is the Rom itself.

GPS is also mandatory for me these weeks. I've been on a sammy rom for a week due to this, and right now I just flashed PAC back again (I had also reboots on PAC). There is a good GPS solution (I just did it again and worked in a few seconds. Before that, I tried clean flashed PAC and it was a no-go): look at this post.

Hoping that that is true, I just came back to PAC, since the GPS is solved. I won't set a lock wallpaper for now and see if I get any reboots until it's fixed. :fingers-crossed:

It's probably a HALO bug. You can always as you probably know, scroll up and clear it until Pa team fixes it.

I believe I remember some PA dev said that this is considered as an intended behavior. but it's something that can be fixed in the future, I guess.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsycox:
Of course, of course. :) I was just wondering, if it hits only me.

Actually, after using it the whole day, I was wondering what is there so special about it? In the end it is just a small movable "status/notification bar", which sometimes even disturbs the handling of the apps, for example when writing in WhatsApp and you have to use something at the side.

Are there really a lot of people using it (after weeks, not in the first days)?

I remember the Pie feature was totally welcome at the beginning, but nowadays it is used rather seldom.
