Regarding the SystemUI FC loop I want to try something, since I REALLY like this ROM.

I will perform an install, skipping the whole config process with google, and get a final working system.

Then make a nandroid.

Then reboot, and change nothing but repeatedly messing with notification bar settings, until I get a FC.

Then make another nandroid.

Then compare the nandroids, removing all the files that are the same between the two, and keeping only the changed ones, thus discovering what's causing the problem in the first place.

Before I go and waste time on this, [MENTION=1862333][vertigo][/MENTION] do you think it could be useful?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] marvi0:
Hmm, a bit of a long shot I know. I have an issue with the app Seesmic, which I use for Twitter. The issue am having is that the scrawling is chopy when I use certain builds, and I cannot understand what could be causing this. Nothing has changed in terms of the app itself, so wondering what can possibly cause the chopy scrawling in some apps please?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xsycox:
A couple of things:

1. Opening a new SMS/text and clicking on the small contacts icon above on the right side still does not open contacts.

2. The best e-mail programme Kaiten E-Mail (the newest two versions) seems to have a problem, because it gets a fc on PAC, while it is working on another 4.3 ROM.

3. Nightlies not flashable with newest TWRP (2.6.1), but Build is flashable. How comes that?

4. Still a lot of reboots. We had this on S2, already, and it is a bit frustrating not finding out what is causing those reboots. They just come in very unhandy (when needing your phone *g*). Also, they appear more often now, even on a fresh formatted/installed handset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Cptn:
I tried to flash the newest nightly with the latest Phils Recovery.

Works like a charm...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] klukiyan:
you can't call "a charm" something that take 2 seconds to unlock the screen, to open the camera, and returns quadrant benchmark lower than galaxy S3...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Cptn:
Just wanted you guys to know that flashing with the newest Phils Recovery works for me "like a charm"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] byobodybag:
at this point, are the nightlies better than the stable build?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gavin-phelan:
Yes
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MadCobbler:
I seriously don't get the obsession with benchmarks, when they really don't mean anything to how a device runs on a daily basis... my old Galaxy Nexus is just as smooth as any device in daily use for me, but the benchmarks are no where near what the devices are getting now!!!

And here's a quote from elite recognized developer 'Chainfire'...However, if you put any trust in Quadrant scores you could use them to prove that dancing naked for 5 minutes in your garden affects device performance.

I know I've posted that quote before but I always like to break it out when someone is obsessed with how a rom benchmarks!! :D :D

Edit: I know some of you prefer my builds to the nightlies, well I'm just testing one now and I will post it very soon ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RoseN-95:
Are there any way to get S-view to work with this rom? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MadCobbler:
Well its not the rom if the issue is with recovery is it? The recoveries aren't perfect at the minute, thats why we are having to do dirty fixes to get things working better.

Is the date correct in the rom? If so I would say its an issue with the recoveries rather than the rom...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] muhamet:
Nice work 2hit Slim rom thx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Schrotty35:
I get a error in whatsup. Every start i see the date and time is false. I think is not a recovery problem. With stock i have correct time and date. Philz write the date and time bug is not a recovery problem. Its only a cm problem.

Sorry but the build was uploaded before I read this message... So I've just put a flashable zip up with the altered build prop for those that want it

Enjoy :D

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kenzolo:
[MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION]

Have you already thought which one of the three rom you think to keep updated?

So I know how to organized my backups :p

Is not too tiring for you keep update three similar rom together?! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bouzoubaa:
Hi buddy. Are the latest cm10.1 commits compiled in today's pacman ROM!? Appears they solved BT bug in today's build.

And sorry for this question but can you tell me your preference between pacman and slimrom. Which one do you personally prefer or recommend.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MadCobbler:
I will keep all updated, but my main preference will be PACman as I'm part of the PACman team... The others will get updated just probably not as often :D

I like Pacman the most, as I've got used to Hybrid Properties and changing the DPI to my liking and thats one of the reasons I compiled Jellybeer, because the the DPI changer in that (plus one of the devs for Jellybeer is a very good friend ;)) I tried Slimrom because I like the customisations and speed... Plus I had to also try something that Vic hasn't already released :p

The commits from today won't be in this rom, but I will have a look for them and see whether I can cherry pick them and compile another build in next couple of days
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kenzolo:
If you allow me to respond in part to your question after tried slimrom:

1)Two rom are quite similar and I was able to configure slimrom exactly as pacman in the aesthetic point of view.

2)Slimrom missing hybrid setting but you can configure anyway the dpi of the screen and I was able to use "[APP][Xposed]" to configure the single app interface http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291826

3)Slimrom uses less ram compared to pacman, this should be a point in favor of slimrom but I noticed that the pacman is more fluid

probably the slimrom is TOO thrifty with the resources, all that free RAM remains unused al the time.

4)Another small thing I noticed:

I I always place the power off button on the navigation bar,if I hold down the software button on "pacman" i was able to see the power off menu',

if I hold down the button on the slimrom nothing happens, here I can only use the button to switch off the screen.

5)Always if you use the navigation bar: if you resize in the slimrom making it lower height, when you pull down the notifications window it will not come to touch the navigation bar, leaving an empty space.

In conclusion, there are small things that make me choose the "pacman".

Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand the entire post :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bouzoubaa:
Thanks so much for taking time to answer my questions. I ll stick with pacman then and will be watching for next builds ;) :thumbup:

Heya Vertigo,

Did you have a minute for those points:

1. Opening a new SMS/text and clicking on the small contacts icon above on the right side still does not open contacts.

2. The best e-mail programme Kaiten E-Mail (the newest two versions) seems to have a problem, because it gets a fc on PAC, while it is working on other 4.3 ROMs (another S4 and a tablet).

3. Nightlies not flashable with newest TWRP (2.6.1), but Build is flashable. How comes that?

4. Still a lot of reboots. We had this on S2, already, and it is a bit frustrating not finding out what is causing those reboots. They just come in very unhandy (when needing your phone *g*). Also, they appear more often now, even on a fresh formatted/installed handset. Do you need something to help with that?

Thank you in advance. Btw, I am using your build, too. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] soyusado:
Confirming that the ROM can be flashed with latest Philz recovery. I do miss Philz recovery.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MadCobbler:
1. Yeah it seems not to be linked correctly to the contacts app, the PAC devs do know about it and I'm sure it is just something thats been overlooked... you can always just start typing the name and pick the contact that way for now lol ;)

2. Never tried that e-mail app, but will have a look when I get time

3. It seems that the newest TWRP or 2.6.1 does seem to be having issues, just go back to 2.6.0 for the time being until its sorted

4. I've not had any random reboots on mine, its been running flawlessly for about 2 weeks, I've been trying to avoid upgrading due to a lot of people complaining about the animations and not liking them, personally I'm not a big fan either, but I'll live with it ;)

Also here is my latest build.... Nothing different to nightly at the minute (not really had a lot of time)

PACman 43. Build 1 10/09

Also on OTA

Enjoy ;)

Help needed.

I just flashed RC1 to my i9505, just over v23 and cleanded caches as directed in first post.

Well, phone booted but all kinds of things crashed in first boot, like keyboard and all others.

Then I did full wipe and installed rom again, but what??

Now I have S4 boot logo and then, blank screen...

Nuthing else....

So what makes this and what to do to recover?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reinberto:
help, i flashed latest version, exactly like you explained, and when i reboot i see the samsung logo, and then it goes black screen and stays like that forever. please help me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BulldogPO:
reinberto, ah you have same problem.

I tried latest build, it "works".

Now phone boots but does not ask for PIN-code, and therefore it does not get any network connection.

Edit:

Systeminfo, Baseband version = Unknown....

So that is problem for sure!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reinberto:
i don't exactly have the same problem, when turning on my device, i get the normal samsung logo, then you should see the bootanimation, but it does't, the screen just turns black and does nothing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BulldogPO:
BTW, same black screen problem with pac_jfltexx-Black-Power-Edition_20130911.zip

And I´m using Philz Touch 5, CWM base 6.0.3.3 if that tells anybody anything?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reinberto:
maybe try updating your recovery to cwm base 6.0.3.7,

but for me i'm still getting the black screen problem. please please fix this, or help .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xsycox:
Thank you very much for your reply and efforts. :)

I have installed TWRP 2.6.0 just to be on the safe side. ;)

Alright, about the reboots. Maybe you can tell me, how I can find out, what causes them or how to show you how it happened?

I also realized, that the keyboard app Ultra Keyboard is having massive problems under PAC (4.3). That was not the case under Android 4.2 and that is a pity, because it is the ONLY keyboard app with 3 x 4 layout (also called numeric or alpha layout) AND swype feature combined.

Btw, you can turn off all animations as you wish ... and I do not mind them, but yeah, i turned them off or chose other ones from Nova Launcher.

Thanks again for your help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BulldogPO:
Did that Philz CWM 6.0.3.3 wipe -> Install new ROM option -> flash delete also modem??

So what modem I shoud use now? (If for some reason new modem is not in same packet as ROM)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reinberto:
yo dawg, i fixed the problem,

i had philz touch recovery, and it ****ed up my system partition, so i installed twrp 2.6.1 and then i did exactly what the instructions said, and it worked !.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NZgeek:
The answer is fairly simple: do not use PhilZ recovery to flash this ROM. Some versions of PhilZ do work, but the majority don't. It's safer to stick with the official CWM, e.g. the one installed by ROM Manager.

I don't know why, but Phil seems to have somewhat of a habit of messing up things in his CWM code. There have been plenty of reports of his recoveries not paying nice with 4.3 AOSP/CM ROMs on the S4, and on the S2 people were told not to use his kernel+recovery to flash CM 10.1 because it broke things.

I have got another little question or problem. When listening to music i notice some noise and overclipping. When i use dsp manager to define my settings i get huge overclipping of the bass when turning on the bass booster.

Settings i use in dsp:

Dynamic compression off

Bass booster on light or sometimes medium

Eq on r&b

Virtual room on studio

Edit: thought i fixed it but no its getting anoying as f... I cant listen to music normally . it keeps overclipping

Edit2: sometimes dsp isnt working at all
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MadCobbler:
It was mentioned in the OP until I got a message from the Devs at PACman who have decided that they want the OP setting out like it is so that they all look the same.... So I was sent a template of what to put... It was also in the Q&A section, but it was kinda hard to see so now I've put it in big red letters at the top... so now there will be no excuses :D

Go to the Q&A section in post 3 and at the bottom there is a link to a buglist for CM10.2 and because this is based on it, its got all the same bugs... they have some workarounds until its fixed! and they've said that DSP Manager is borked in CM10.2 so use TB to freeze it

I've been using the one I built and have had no crashes yet

Ask in noobdev's thread. If he's providing the dual-boot feature, it's up to him to make sure that it works with other ROMs.
