I just build, John Brewer was doing that nice stuff for us and saving me the time lol. All I did was adjust the RIL to not nuke itself while dialing as Danjull mentioned awhile back. The thread tends to move fast sometimes so its probably 10 pages back now :rolleyes:

Since I can't sync Validus after the initial sync I have to reinit and pull every build, needles to say this is time consuming and I need to pull the source over again every build so builds aren't going to be very often. Plus I build for every G2 variant, I think 5, that's around 3-4 hours building time plus the 10 or so mins uploading, its a time consuming process.

On a side note, the DNA is gone, so I'll rely on you guys again for everything. My G2 screen died so I'm phoneless now, so my responses are likely to not be as instant as they were for a bit. I start work (finally) Friday and work friday-sunday overnights so weekend builds are out, I'll likely do them on Thursday as I'll be awake to get switched over to overnight scheduling for work on Friday night.

A buddy of mine offered to send me an S3 so I'll have something to use until I can get back on my feet and pick up something new in a few months. Not sure what yet, though I'm leaning to HTC or maybe Nexus 6 if those "shamu" specs turn out legit.

My son turned 5 today and scored Scooby doo toys and ate cake. He's happy.

I think that's my rambling post for the day.

Five years old...time flies. Let him know the DNA crew says happy birthday.

And congrats in the new job!

You mentioned its a Fri, Sat, Sun overnight job...I hope disrobing is not involved :p

its amazing how this thread goes south so fast, i love it. Pio any chance on a carbon update before you throw in the towel? Good luck with your job, and happy bday to little Pio. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I'm speaking from experience, I don't want Pio to go down that same road. That's why I have gonhorrea infested crabs always pinching my genital herpes.
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
choochoo you always been this way, or only since joining XDA?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It's Pio's fault, his awesome ROMs made me feel inferior so I got depressed and roamed the streets looking for enlightenment but all I got was dementia and a used (crusty) pair of panties from a homeless tranny.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Any chance the xenon rom will be launched
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Dude I want those back.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
That's always given me issues on and off, once Validus gets launched and stabilized I'll take another crack at it as I have the time.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Yeah I'll get back onto Carbon soon, I get distracted pretty easily SHINY THING OVER THERE so I end up jumping between projects a lot.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Is it true about the camera age verifying lol

No worries Pio, I follow this thread for the entertainment value also. Thanks

Not sure, I rarely use my phone as one lol.

Side note, there's a couple updated ROMs sitting on the site....
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Can't get new validus to boot on either clean or dirty flash
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Remember I'll need more clues before I can do anything, I'm blind over here. Where does it stop booting, HTC screen or boot animation? Tried a different kernel?

I'll need to know everything you've tried in a clear post so I can start looking.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
I have a custom splash screen instead of the stock htc one it stops there doesnt even try to boot tried jamiethemorrises kernal no luck tried palmers no luck no validus boot screen nothing
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Try flashing the ROM by itself with no gapps or kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
I did that first
[HTC Droid DNA] flashhsalf:
i've got the 6.23.14 installed and the screen keeps turning on and off automatically during notification and maybe when the proximity sensor goes from dark to light. Where is the option to turn it off?

Can you get a logcat. There are a couple threads in this forum with links to tools that you install on your PC to grab the logcat.

I'll take a stab st it tonight or tomorrow, right now I don't have time to mess with ROMs.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I tried multiple times using various logcat tools but it didn't work. It kept saying the driver install failed even though they're installed and working with my other DNA.

It may be a kernel problem since it doesn't go past the splash screen. I wish I could be more helpful.
[HTC Droid DNA] venkatp:
Eager to update to the latest Validus but will have to wait till i get wifi at my new house. Just moved to VA.

The OEM data cable that came with my charger is almost dead. Where can I buy a new one for good price? And what would be the cheapest wireless cradle?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
If it were kernel then flashing another good kernel would fire up so I'm thinking its init, gotta be something way early if it doesn't make it to boot animation.

I'm not sure, I don't use cradles and I haven't purchased a USB cable in forever, I'm sure others here know some good cables to look for, though.

You may want to wait on the last validus build for now, I need to look it over and I won't have time until after Monday.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Crpalmer uses the any kernel installer so I think if there's a flaw in the kernel it could be merged over when we flash his kernel.

I redownloaded the ROM and made sure adb and logging was working before flashing. After flashing it was stuck on the splash screen and adb wasn't working so I couldn't grab a log. Windows kept trying to install the driver which is odd since I verified it was working prior to flashing.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
It uses the existing init and ramdisk, nothing of the previous kernel binary remains, so flashing it eliminates the kernel being at fault, at that point it points to init or ramdisk being the next most likely culprit being so early in the boot process.

[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
I have found that sometimes when a ROM hangs at splash, if I press and hold the power button as if I am rebooting, and release it before the hardware button lights flash the second time, it will sometimes kick it over to the bootanimation and boot. I have had to do this several times, but only after the initial flash of a ROM. After that first time, they always boot successfully on future restarts
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I flashed crpalmers kernel and used armydogs suggestion on rebotting a few times, but its still stuck at the splash screen.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Same here.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
I will update to the latest and try it out.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
I couldn't get it to boot either. Couldn't pull a log either

Okay okay. I said I would report back. I'm a man of my word.......eventually.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Quick question and maybe its because im not looking in the right spot in settings but what are the default settings that come with hover in validus
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
In the last build that booted, prior to the latest, there wasn't any, it just did its thing IIRC. It's been replaced with heads up.

I would if I worked over there lol

Update:

Validus came up a bit small last build, I think it was missing vendor stuffs due to some changes I didn't notice, trying it out again.

4.8 SaberMod toolchain, archi opts.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Quick question.im on validus and if i use rom toolbox and go under root browser/system/fonts theres a whole list of fonts but i cant find anywhere to change them.any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I've just used ROM toolbox for font management, not sure Validus has a way built in.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
I did try that at first before i asked lol but rtb didnt work it shows the font downloading says reboot the phone afterwards but upon reboot the font is still the same.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Pio, were you able to figure out why the last Validus build didn't boot? Is there anything we can do to help out?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
The end, for now

I think it was just missing some vendor stuff, it was a little smaller then usual. Ran into some issues building and ran out of time for it, gonna see if I can get another build going tonight on a fresh sync, that takes about an hour.

It'll probably be my last "posted" build, I believe I'll be leaving XDA for awhile, maybe for good. I was recently scammed by a user here (XDA, not the DNA forums, though it was an HTC user) and I've pretty much given up on the users of this site. I could launch into a huge ramble about giving so much and receiving almost nothing in return, the use and abuse, the random troll/hate/greed/whatever messages, but I've done that before and it doesn't change much anyways, and I'm not the only person who feels this way and ended up leaving for it.

I'll continue to build and upload to the site for now, I'm not sure where I'll make my home next, I think it may be time I just retire from android forums and do my own little thing in my own little corner.

If you need to get a hold of my I'd prefer you don't PM me as I would rather not need to come onto the site to communicate, but that's always an option. Google+/gmail/hangouts would be best. I try to keep android from my FB, and I don't really use twitter so it may be a while before I see anything there.

I'll be passing the PAC support to someone else, whoever wants it can have it, and I'll leave this thread open for the sake of users that want a place to be able to kick back and be themselves (and I may stop by and join in) to enjoy.

To that user that scammed me, I would have done it for free, I have no issues helping users and doing something new and interesting, you didn't need to promise me something I NEEDED and then vanish with it. I had no phone, no money to get one, and I was waiting for a potential job to contact me, you took advantage of someone who was in need and vulnerable but was always willing to help someone else in need when possible, I hope it was worth it getting what you needed. At least a PM saying you decided to keep it, or whatever, would have been better. Enjoy the work I did for you, even if it wound up being free anyways. I believe in karma, and I believe I have friends that have a job dealing with finding people who don't like to be found.
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
details? Phone repair scam like zarboz was running?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I wasn't aware he was doing that, last I saw he was offering JTAG services for s-off/bricked devices after he ran a donation funding to get the riff box or whatever one he got. Then again, I never leave my threads anymore lol. Hope it didn't go to badly, it seemed like he just wanted to help people with it, maybe it was just a misunderstanding?

I left it devoid of details intentionally, the person who needs to know it's them will know it's them. I'm owed an HTC One Maxx that I never received, my G2 died and my DNA was a loaner that was sold so I needed a phone bad, so we made a deal, I finished my side, he never fullfulled his.
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
Only public drama I saw involving zarboz involved a user who had sent his phone to zarboz for a screen repair. The device was never returned to the user. Not much later XDA changed his title to known scammer, so I assume multiple offences were committed. XDA can be rather shady sometimes.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Oh man I didn't see that coming, he seemed like a good guy.

Yeah in the end someone (off XDA) sent me a busted up s3 to use, glass is shattered, power button is busted, but it worked at a time I needed it most and that's all I could ask for lol

Guess I'm a Samsung guy now lol

Around November I'll be upgrading my wife's DNA (broken speaker) so I'll send that to you if you're still around.

Just hang around this thread, everyone here is chill and we have fun with you. We always miss you when you're gone.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
Did you apply a theme using the theme chooser? If so, you will need to switch your theme font back to default for the new font to show. I use ifont and found this out after a few hours of trying to figure out why it wasn't working.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
I reflashed and tried to change the font first but didnt work either.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
Hmm. Idk then. I know Ifont is working for me. You might try that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Thank you ifont worjed perfect.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
I use ifont as well. You can even use that app to create a flashable zip on your sdcard. That way everytime you flash a new ROM or even dirty flash you can flash the font zip one time. Flash flash flash lol

I think the only limitation on the free version is the number of fonts you can download in a single day. Needless to say,I bought the pro version just because I loved the app so much.

Are the Play Store icons fixed yet? That's probably the only thing keeping me from using this ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Yes, they're fixed.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Feel free to use any rom that works as you wish, there's plenty of variety out there to enjoy. I don't have much time or care to work on android anymore so I may not update this build anymore, Validus worked as a better base for me and lacked the side effects that Carbon had for some reason, may want to give that a run.

Its on pio-masaki.com under Validus>dlx if you can't find it under the dlx folder, I need to clean that up lol

In Validus yeah, Carbon they still show up odd sometimes.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
If your talking about Carbon. Yes and no. If you want to run Pio's latest Carbon without the icon issue.... Clean flash the prior build then dirty flash the newest. I believe that fixed it for me.

[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Oh sure, prove me wrong. I see how it is around here.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I prefer not to dirty flash, besides, I hardly ever go to the play store since android restores all my apps after flashing and the potential for problems with a dirty flash is not worth it just to get nice icons in the play store.

[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
Hello all, are there any good links for Carbon and Validus?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Currently no, there isn't, I'm not sure why but the guy running the site has apparently taken it offline, either intentionally or accidentally, or hasn't noticed its failed. I know he was in the process of upgrading some things on it a week or two ago, perhaps something broke without him knowing, we're both busy with life right now.

The best I can offer is Broken, that's on afh, its a new ROM based on slim, very nice battery life. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=18745

Its also my last project given I have only a couple hours a day to spare and I spend that with my family and after the bs that went down I'm still done with android in general now.

Enjoy the ROM, it was fun starting a ROM from the beginning, I hope it becomes a favorite around here.

[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Is it time for a reminder post about how +# posts without logs does nothing but make us Dev gods angry?

Passive aggressive jokes aside I'll build another one when time allows for it, something is odd with my build setup and it'll take hours to redo it and I have 10 minutes a day to spend on anything PC related these days. Hopefully I'll have some time Tuesday or Thursday or...second Wednesday of this week, something like that.

To make this post worth something at all, recovery logs can be found in /cache/recovery, and inside is usually 3 logs, so recovery flashing errors can be seen there to help figure out what went wrong.

Don't get angry, be happy. will try again and get you a log the second thurs this week.

[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Ian, do you want my Droid3 to hold you over for another two months and then you can have my wife's DNA when she is eligible to upgrade it?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Well it's been awhile, I suppose a little update would be nice since no one visits me anymore.

Been working, I work over nights so I sleep all day and work all night and see my family a couple hours before bed and before work so my android time is basically gone, I haven't built a ROM in what seems like months, and I think I've touched my PC 4 times in...WINDOWS.

I no longer have a DNA, which some of you already knew, I had a loaner which has since gone away so I was already building blind for awhile there. The G2 has gone to my wife and I'm the proud owner of my first brand new samsung device, Note 4. I got the actual T-Mobile variant for a couple reasons, first, network stability was terrible on the DNA and G2, it was passable but annoying to work with. Second, it's unlocked, so I can enjoy working with it in my free time, should I have any.

Broken OS has moved on all the way to 1.4 in my absence, and is still a great team to work with, Validus and now Tesla are also moving along and doing great, Infamous is still in a slow bit but is rumoured to be making a come back soon, it was an honor to show some of their work to you guys. Generally speaking the Broken OS guys don't build for devices no team member owns, so I can't provide official builds for them any longer on the DNA or G2, but I do plan to build for the DNA on occasion as the family adapts to my new schedule.

For those that have or plan to get the Note 4, I'm not sure if I'll be doing much public work, or if I'll do work behind the scenes like I was doing for the G2 and the DNA later on, but some great devs are moving to the Note 4 so I fully expect some great things for this device (and with little work on my part weeeee)

I'm still (for now, at least) limiting my XDA use to just this thread after what happened a few months back, so you an always hit me up here or feel free to get me on hangouts. I opted to not make any threads for Validus or Broken due to the time constraints and lack of time I'd be able to offer for them, as you guys know I like to be quick with replies and I don't think a month counts.

The DNA is actually still here, it was, ironically, sold to my mom rocking, of all things, Broken, I just don't get to play with it anymore.

Anyways that's whats going on, I ended up trading family time for making some money, slowly getting back on our feet, its a great feeling, just has its own price I guess.

On an actual development note, I did manage to tweak my build setup to be able to hammer out a clean build in 25 minutes. Oddly, you would think I could build ROMs given it doesn't take much time anymore (vs 100+ minutes) so when I can get going on this again I should be able to build more often.

Anyhoo hows my favorite users doing?
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Its great to hear from you glad things are looking up for you man.
[HTC Droid DNA] :
Also glad to hear things are getting better! It's hard work, but well worth it. Doing well on this side! I'm moving on from my DNA soon as well. I've already purchased a Nexus 5 and as soon as my Verizon contract is up, the DNA goes bye-bye. I appreciate the work you did for the DNA. This was, by far, my favorite ROM to run on the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
I am looking carefully at the LG G3 and the Motorola Turbo for MTT end of contract in February. Glad to hear things are looking up for you. You deserve it. I've been building computers in my spare time and don't yet have my system set up to do builds.
