ok i finally installed CWM an then installed this ROM .

Just a few queries ;

1. My free RAM is always < 40mb and i haven't installed much apps yet apart from maps,what's app fb gmail etc

2. in horizontal scrolling , if i look closely , there is a ripple effect , its like one part moves to the left first an then the below a few milliseconds after it.

3. I can't get a GPS Lock ( i am not sure whether it is a known issue )

other than its great .

ps: i a flashed on top of stock 4.1.1 . And yes i wiped everything that needed to be wiped .

Comes from using the newer nightlies, revert to an older one and let the Wookie win.

Do you use a task killer, tweaked OOM levels, PmR, or anything like that? Maybe some odd tweak you did is killing things off. PowerAmp ran in my notification tray for 36+ hours on the 0703 Nightly.

1. ??? I don't check my ram, if its smooth I'm happy and that's good enough for me. Not much ram free is a GOOD thing and newer Android systems (4.0+) manage ram really well....increase the OOM levels if it bothers you (aggressive setting with PmR)

2. It happens, kernel/driver issue.

3. Again, ???. I get a lock so I can't really debug that or even think outside the box for a dumb solution.

//Rom Control Lockscreen Controls might be working now (just checked, and the volume track skip option does work....) since the PAC team removed a ton of CM lockscreen code (maybe all of it???). Don't have any actual plans today other than reading a book on Java Programming so I'll put something out as quick as I can.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Good deal. Glad it works. Upstream, PAC has done some lockscreen tweaking so the settings in Rom Control might be working now...we'll all find out later today (provided I don't have any compile errors).

I've been wanting to see that movie but....I'm just too cheap for the movies anymore -- overpriced food/drinks & annoying people\children, simple as that (no smoking nor a pause button so I can go pee doesn't help either). I'd rather just get whatever movie on PPV or Vuze Rental if its something I might not like, or BluRay from WalMart (yes, WalMart) if I might like it.

Why WalMart for BluRays? I can get a 1080p stream on Vuze with them. Lose\Scratch the disk....stream it....coming for a guy who used to buy movies from GameExchange (& TPB), rip & transcode it (or DL it), return it within 24h to repeat with some more movies...they knew what I was doing, but I also followed store policy to the letter.

//Also kinda leery on Adam Sandler movies anymore. Ever since Happy Gilmore, maybe Little Nicky, every other AS movie has the same jokes, same dumb voices, and because of that, they might not even be that funny.

///Get Adam Sandler's "They're All Gonna Laugh At You" CD. Old, but funny as hell.

////The price is wrong, b!tch.

I haven't updated to the new one. I've been running the July 3rd build. Since July 3rd lol.

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Same rom for me too...odd. My TB update zip doesn't work either. Problem is a PAC bug introduced after CM implemented some Privacy Settings. All I know on the problem.

The only solution I've found is to not install anything to /data on the first install --- wipe /system, flash PAC, boot into the system, reboot into recovery, flash gapps, TB update zip, whatever else ya might flash that adds crap to /data.

By older nightlies...I mean the last week of June and earlier....before the bug was introduced. July + will have this issue till its fixed upstream and various PAC devices running nightlies seem to have this issue. (you'll have to figure out which nightly to revert to, I can't remember exactly which one is the first with this bug).
[Motorola Atrix HD] Byakko Custom:
Well I did change the CPU settings (1512 MHz to about 1352 MHz (Somewhere around that value..))

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I don't think that would matter. I run underclocked as well.

Oooh, gotta charge mah phone, 20% battery
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blackest Pain:
By the way either the battery life has improved or the charging time has. But I think I'm still gonna do the EB40 mod. 6 days on a single charge is wayyyyyy beyond amazing.

Also I'm not able to change the radio for the preferred network ( ya know the *#*#4636#*#* thing)
[Motorola Atrix HD] fireforhire:
GPS is not locking here either.
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
For the GPS lock, did you fastboot to 4.1.1, get a lock, then flash PAC or did you just come straight from the 4.1.1 that came with your phone without getting a lock?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
i honestly dont know why you guys still stick with fastbooting ics or stock jb to get gps lock... i never did that but i get a lock on almost all roms out here.... :confused:
[Motorola Atrix HD] EcHoFiiVe:
According to dhacker, I'm pretty sure PAC has the modified GPS HAL for our phone that doesn't require us to fastboot back. I don't know when he made that commit but maybe updating the ROM will help.
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
I think that was added in the last PA he uploaded (I believe the 3rd?) And I haven't gotten newer PACs (0706) to boot yet.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
Then are lucky bro :p

I had a lock on my stock rom and switched to xperiamod and xenon but GPS didnt work for me.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
New nightly

Never done the preferred network thing...I use the setting in the Settings menu.

Just tested on the new nightly, that menu works.

Same Here. I LoL when I see the fastboot this or that recommendations. They don't matter anymore, but some seem to think they still do.

It does...has for a good minute now.

I actually never ran that one....stayed with 0703 myself :cowboy:

TL : DR

NEW ROM INFO HERE

There's a new PAC now. It fixed the /data booting issues. Tested 45 mins ago.

Lockscreen settings in Rom Control fully work (from what I've tested -- widgets, text color, slider shortcuts, widget carousel)

Kernel is based on Arrrghhh's so it has more governors, voltage control, and more -- see here for more details

Has General PAC updates, RazrQcom Updates, See GIT COMMIT HISTORY FOR MORE DETAILS, changelogs come with actual releases and not nightlies

NEW NIGHTLY

MD5SUM -- 4ed11cc107e8363c33d3ef53f8de11ae mb886_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130713-140057.zip
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
Yesterday flashed pac. And gps got a lock. Was totally satisfied with the ROM.

But today morning the home button has been behaving madly. Keeps on blinking and returns me to home screen whenever i try to menu or in any application.

Running the 7th june build mentioned on the first post. v 22.4.0.

Any thoughts ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Flash the one I posted just a while ago. Contains many needed updates.

Never had that issue you just described, then again, I've been running the 23.0.0 nightlies and that problem could have been fixed from 22.4 -> 23.0.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
Would do that. Started download. (Speed sucks in India).

Though not related to pac, I just switched to liquidsmooth and i faced same issues but more frequently. So much so that i have to switch off the phone and going to flash holoblur withing 5 minutes of flashing liquidsmooth. Never faced such issues with my device :crying:.

Any tips while i try to flash holoblur for the moment until i get pac 23 ??
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Working flawlessly right now. Except signal bar is still grey.

[Motorola Atrix HD] o0shaft0o:
Full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik, even formatted /system.

Cosmetic issues are trivial when compared to a smooth, fully functioning ROM. I'm happy with my phone. That's a good feeling for a flashaholic.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blackest Pain:
I have to admit, you have a point. Two of the smoothest roms for our AHDs is skeevy's PAC and Youngunn's HoloBlur. These guys deserve wayyy more credit than we give them.

[MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] [MENTION=2804068]Youngunn2008[/MENTION] thanks for all the time and effort you put into this community

Sent from my PACman Atrix HD
[Motorola Atrix HD] o0shaft0o:
Well it seems that the issue only applies to Axiom Honeycomb battery mod (which happens to be my favorite :thumbdown:) on my phone. All of the other ones stick.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I don't really feel like multi-quoting everyone today.

Completely right about that battery icon not sticking. Not there after reboot :(. Its my favorite one too, so double :(. It seems to revert back to the default style if the screen shuts off or SysUi restarts. PAC recently updated Rom Control -- I didn't see any that updates that messed with the battery icons, but ya never know....really, really wish USB logcatting worked.

PIE settings work just fine for me. All settings checked, worked, and survived a reboot.

SOME INFO ON GOVERNOR TWEAKING

Try out the Wheatley governor. Seems to work damn good -- not a surprise seeing as its designed for multi-core cpu's.

Don't bother underclocking the max frequency -- The 2nd core will automatically revert back to the default 15XX speed.

Underclocking the min frequencies works just fine. The only problem with that is all the freqs below 384 use the same voltage, so you won't really be saving any power using them....current lowest voltage is 700 (according to Performance Control) and new lows could be set to 192@350 and 96@175 (250'd prolly be better/safer). Need to look into adding support for lower voltages in the kernel.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
That's funny, we also have the only roms that use Arrrghhh's custom kernel -- same as Dev Teams, only it allows voltage adjustment, has some extra governors, IO schedulers, and more features are good :p. I added an extra governor to it yesterday (lulzactiveq), but it ran like crap and would cause the phone to eventually force reboot and get stuck on the boot logo.

I'm glad that the only bugs seem to be the standard 4.2.2 no signal, overclocking not fully working (never has if you're curious), and a battery icon not sticking.

I thought about starting a new nightly, but I'd like to wait and see if the PAC team pushes any updates or if our Dev team does any thing today.

I'm gonna go see if anyone has uploaded a /system dump of the RAZR HD VZW Update. I really want to get my hands on the updated launcher and circle widget -- last I checked, the only thing uploaded was the actual update zip which contains an ass load of patches for the apps, not the apps themselves.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blackest Pain:
Did a clean flash and that fixed it. Btw my battery icons are sticking fine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] o0shaft0o:
What about Axiom Honeycomb. Every other one sticks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Rick1488:
I would have to say this is the best 4.2.2 rom out to date, but I'd love to see some updates.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
There was an update less than a week ago.

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Same here....had to use the CM Circles as a temp fix :(

And ya said that within 24 hours of an update, and 12 hours before a new one.

If ya don't like waiting:

Install Ubuntu 12.04 or Mint 13

Follow one of the hundred or so "I wanna compile android guides"

make a folder named pacman

cd to it

repo init -u https://github.com/PAC-man/android.git -b cm-10.1

repo sync

. build-pac.sh -j4 mb886

wait 2-4 hours

flash your up-to-date PAC

If my razrqcom dev team forks are outdated

(1st command started in the "pacman" folder,

the rest are done as typed on here):

cd ker*/mo*/ms* from pacman folder

git remote add rqdev https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-team/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common.git

git remote add rqkang https://github.com/razrqcom-kang/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common.git

git fetch --all

git merge rqdev/cm-10.1 rqkang/cm-10.1

cd ../../../dev*/mo*/ms*

git remote add rqdev https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-team/android_device_motorola_msm8960-common.git

git remote add rqkang https://github.com/razrqcom-kang/android_device_motorola_msm8960-common.git

git fetch --all

git merge rqdev/cm-10.1 rqkang/cm-10.1

*****repeat those steps for android_device_motorola_mb886, android_vendor_motorola_msm8960-common, & android_vendor_motorola_mb886***

If ya can't tell, it goes like this

go to directorey

add remotes

fetch remotes

merge them

go to new directory

repeat

After the first time its a simple

go to directory

fetch remotes

merge them

repeat as necessary

Now you have the exact commands I use to update PAC and build it for us. You'll never have to worry about running an oudated PAC ever again.

//Haven't flashed yet, going to in the next hour
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
What has changed? Your last build is butter baby!
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Some fixes for HALO, dev-team kernel updates.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Rick1488:
I was unaware of this as there is nothing in the change log.. Does the signal bar work yet? I ask because I lose signal alot where I work and constantly have to search for it. Thanks!

P.S. skeevydude, don't take it the wrong way dude I know your working on the rom on your own time and I appreciate your hard work and I know you probably don't want to hear about update requests, but if I may please update your change log when you update it so I can reflash. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Not when using 4G\LTE. Switch to 3G or lower to get an accurate signal. Not that bad of a compromise since you'll be saving battery at least.

Like I've said before, I only put up changelogs when PAC does version bumps and releases one. I don't want to be the guy that say X is a new feature only to have PAC remove it a day or two later cause it doesn't work properly.

As for the kernel/device changelog, the dev team has added upwards of 10-20 commits on some days, I don't really feel like copy/pasting that much. Its not hard to go to https://github.com/razrqcom-kang, look at the repos, and see what I've committed for the device side updates.

I could update the OP to say what nightly is the newest....but they're uploaded and sorted by date. All ya gotta do is open up the Copy.com folder and see if a newer one than what you're using is up.

I'd add the nightly date to the Thread Title, but that can lead to confusion with other PAC roms. I just know some dip will post in the Nexus4 threads that "the Atrix HD is running a nightly from the 14th, why aren't we?". Some PACs are built by the build-bot, some PACs, like ours, are done when the Maintainer either gets around to it or it makes since to do an update due to kernel/device side updates. I usually have 1-2 roms a week unless something is broke and its not worth it to release.

I can start sending out "New Rom Available" on Google Plus -- would be the only thing I use G+ for :p

Would Google Plus be fine to broadcast new rom releases? I don't have/use Twitter or Facebook, nor do I want so set up accounts for them.

//should have another nightly later on tonight or tomorrow morning
[Motorola Atrix HD] Rick1488:
LOL, I see your point and no further action on the updates is necessary. :highfive:

[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:

[Motorola Atrix HD] Rick1488:
I have tried all the roms available for the AHD and I find myself coming back to PAC as it's smooth and stable and it appears to have the most support. Thank You!

:good:
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
Smooth because only it and Holoblur (and maybe the latest version of AOSPA) have the updated stock-like kernel. And support because skeevy is the best developer we have here.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
PAC doesn't use a stock based kernel. Its the Dev-Team kernel with Arrrghhh's CM10.1_mod branch merged in (for things like ROW IO scheduler, Wheatley governor, Voltage Scaling....)

Holo uses a stock based Razr HD kernel with the same tweaks added, which reminds me.....

[MENTION=2804068]Youngunn2008[/MENTION] -- if necesary, I can take our Stock JB kernel and add in the same patches/tweaks that Arrrghhh did to the Razr HD Stock JB kernel. I just think it would be neat to have a Stock Atirx HD Rom that runs a Custom Atrix HD Kernel and not a Custom Razr HD Kernel. I'm working on a kernel building script (based on Arrrghhh's maek.sh included with his kernels) and once that's done I can do the custom AHD kernel for ya.

BytecodeMe has a custom Vanquish kernel that has some major tweakage done with it (based on the Dev-Team's CM-10.1 kernel). Gonna merge it with PAC's kernel sometime soon. I figure that PAC's an All-In-One Rom so it needs an All-in-One Kernel :p

I'm also been playing with the Voltage Scaling recently. If ya start at 800 for 96mhz and increase the voltage by 25 for each step it runs really smooth and uses slightly less battery. I'm gonna lower 96mhz voltage down to 700 and do the 25 step up sometime today. If that works good, I'll consider adding in lower supported voltages.

[MENTION=3462483]deeje00[/MENTION]

Performance Control's "Restore on Boot" hasn't been working for me for a week+ now, before I was using that performance tweak. I use Performance Control to adjust the Voltage and that's it (I like PC's Voltage Screen). I use the app Kernel Tuner to do my Restore on Boots and just for some general tweaking. Great app and one that I recommend using -- not perfect, but nothing really is for us (all CPU Tweaking apps partially work for us, kernel issue).

For Governor, use Interactive (especially if you've flashed the tweak)

For IO, use ROW, SIO, or Deadline (I use ROW now, was SIO)

See my screenshots to see my Governor Setup and Voltage Settings

My Power Usage

My Voltage Settings

My Interactive Governor Setup

For the Curious, My battery was at 90% before I quit rebooting\tweaking -- Was 60% 12 hours later with about 2 hours of PowerAmp, an hour browsing Play, a few emails read, & setting up some Ribbons.

@Skeevydude I love your work but I'm not crazy about PAC and seeing that in a way you kind of supervise everybody and anybody's work... I think you should Dev another rom... I think you should make SkeevyRom... Yea... That sounds good... A ROM you make that would be for the moment exclusive (till a$$ porters come) to Ahd... It's a great phone and you a great Dev...

[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
He "supervises" youngunn and echo because he taught them and helps them out. And what's the point in making a completely different rom when it would come out being pretty much the same. There's not really any features that could be added and why take things away?

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I've thought about that, but whatever I do\am able to do woudn't be much different than ReVolt, PAC, etc....from what I can tell, a lot of these other custom roms are nothing more than a rebranded PAC. They all do the same damn things, with settings and options in slightly different locations. Some use the AOKP versions, some CM, some from other niche roms like Slim. Some might have 1 or 2 features other Rom's don't have, but that's really it. Currently, at my skill level, I wouldn't be able to do much more than that, if that. I also just don't see the point of doing another custom rom that does the same crap every other rom can already do.

PAC, IMHO, needs to have Performance Control and Rom Control fully integrated into frameworks_base, settings, and SysUi; an example: so you don't have 2 different lockscreen tweaking areas -- CM's in Settings and AOKP's in Rom Control. That's something I plan to start working on once I start getting the grasp of Java.

Once I have a better understanding of Java and start trying to centralize all the tweaks into PAC's core and if they don't want to accept them, then I might start thinking about doing my own Rom, until then I'm perfectly happy with PAC even if I don't like where everything is located. It has all the tweaks you can ask for and for the most part everything works -- that's good enough for me. (That first sentence is one hell of a run on :p, at least I use commas :cool:)

For me, the only dislike of PAC is the fragmented and decentralized way the tweaks are implemented.

For my curiosity, what don't you like about PAC?

I'm just helping them cause I remember being there and I'd have really appreciated a helpful post or two like I give them from time to time.

See above, but TL : DR -- I pretty much agree with your answer, only added that I'd like to see PAC's tweaks more integrated into the Rom, and once I learn some Java and start working on that, I'd consider starting my own Rom if those commits weren't accepted.
