So, have the devs ceased all progress on 4.2.2?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Yes..all focus is on 4.3 now
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
I have not had that issue. I will test more tonight.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Thanks! Message me if you need any more info
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Will do buddy.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dragonhart6505:
I've been experiencing this as well as having no signal bars and cannot send SMS. Can make/receive calls, receive texts and even internet works (without any gsm patches *Simple Mobile*) soon as I go to send a text, drops to no service/roaming.

Bluetooth and WiFi work with no issues, no problems with either GAPPS provided no FC'ing on anything, just can't text or use front camera
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Hmm, weird. Will be testing and looking into it further.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dragonhart6505:
Will be looking forward to your findings ^_^
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lafont28:
I've been getting the same with the 8/16 build. Ill be flashing 8/17 shortly. I'm hoping it'll be a little better.

Anybody else having bad battery drain? Since I upgraded to 4.3 PAC my battery drain has been significantly worse.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
I have as well. I'm at 64% at less than 3.5 hours
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
Are you able to access your PAC Settings by chance? That's another issue I'm having. FCs on me every time I click on it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Works fine. PAC Console fc's if I try to turn on ota updates, though.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
Odd I was able to turn on ota updates just fine.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Tim, you do great work. You just got caught in the middle. I don't blame you at all.

You know, a lot of misunderstanding could have been avoided if the info posted here today had been forthcoming on the outset.

Objection withdrawn.

Have you tried disabling/freezing/deleting the NFC.apk? It seems to be adversely affecting the battery and any one of these things seems to help immensely.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
When in settings app, swipe to the right.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Sorry buddy, to be honest, I was not even aware of the whole situation until today! Keep up the crackflashing!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
I understand everyone has frustrations but lets keep this thread cordial and on topic. You guys all rock and I can wait to help you make this a better rom!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] antp121:
Tim, this is kinda off topic but with so many ROMs, do you have a daily driver? Lol
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Haha, not really... But since this hit 4.3 it's the closest I've been in a while. I would love for some aokp to hit 4.3 tho. :D

I will say, crackbuilding is the new crackflashing. :p
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
When in settings in first pic swiping does nothing. I'm attempting to get to PAC settings which crashes each time
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] meabrams:
Working great do far for me!

Only issue so far is that the video player doesn't want to play any videos (steaming mp4 or 3gp) almost like it's missing the codec for them. Or it could be a bad download redownloading now....
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Try going to quickest ting pull down and holding down the tile that shows Dpi. Should bring up pac settings.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
I tried turning off NFC in settings after your post last night. I'll let you know if it makes a difference today or not.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
That works perfectly :D how do I access and apply my CM10 themes though?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
So you are gonna have to access the setting for pac... If u go into settings and swipe your finger from right to left it should give u all settings. If that does not work... Go into pax setting and change settings app to table mode.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
Changing the settings app did the trick. In appreciate your help greatly. Thank you.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Np buddy, that's what I'm here for :D
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
I'm not having any video playback issues. I use BSPlayer Free for all video types stored on sdcard. YouTube is working well. Which video stream are you having problems with. I'll see what works.

I decided to give this another shot and either it has improved or I had a bad download before because I'm not getting any FCS or having any of the problems I had before.

One thing I did notice is if you use a launcher other than Trebuchet, you cannot access the Pacman menu. Also there is no toggle to turn on or off Extended Desktop. There are other ways but I like the toggle. Also I can't find a setting to make the statusbar always available for pull down.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] karthakon:
I haven't been able to play YouTube videos or any videos saved on my phone on any Android 4.3 ROMs. I've tried this one, Carbon, and the latest skrilax cm10.2

Which Recovery are you using?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
TWRP 2.6.0. I also use just the kernel that is packaged with the ROM.

Wow such typos !
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] karthakon:
Thanks that's what I use. I'll have to try again.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
I use CWM and I'm not having problems on any 4.3 based ROM
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
Deleted NFC at the beginning of the day and still having poor battery life
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] meabrams:
I am trying to watch jet flicks which wants to use the android built in video player. I did load MX player for SD videos but still having problems with streaming via jet flicks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Well, that's subscription based, and I'm not willing to sign up just to test it. I use Netflix and HuluPlus and they both work great.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] meabrams:
I'm guessing it's going to be the same with any mp4 based streaming you can find on the web
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
Go into settings and toggle the PAC in the dark setting, with the AMOLED screen the RAZR M has it turns off the black pixels and saves a ton of power.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
That could be true. I was wondering why some people report horrible battery life because mine has been pretty good with any of the 4.3 ROMs. I do lean toward black themes. Could be part of the answer.

So I googled mp4 video streaming sites, found one called WWW.imp4hub.com and picked a movie at random. It began playing immediately and was flawless. I'm not sure why you are having problems, but its not the player, the ROM or the hardware.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] antp121:
Amoled is more efficient on blacks but it really doesn't make that much of a difference. Possibly noticeable but probably not.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
I checked my battery stats and the power usage went from about 77% to 36%. A VERY significant difference.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] antp121:
Are you certain there weren't any other variables in the mix?

I don't know what the problem was but I downloaded the 820 nightly wiped 3 times and installed and my mp4 problems are gone. YouTube works perfect.

What exactly are we trying to accomplish here?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
Agreed. I don't recommend anyone take random .apk files from strangers and move them to system and give them more permissions. If its just a live wallpaper then installing it normally is all you need.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
Yea changing to black hasn't seemed to do much for me. I've dropped about 10% in 50 minutes after a full charge whereas before 4.3 I would only drop maybe 5% within the first hour off a full charge. I've got my brightness down almost to the lowest setting and its making up for about 64% of my battery usage. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving 4.3 and am by no means trying to gripe about 4.3, I'm just trying to figure put this battery bug that I seem to be having.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
haven't tried 4.3 yet, but I recall from my 4.2.2 days, the battery would go down to 1% and get stuck there for several hours. A better gauge could be on-screen time - and I would seem to cap out around 3 hours.

so I supposed you could seeing what happens when you let the phone automatically shut off - then let it charge up all the way while off (warning though - last time I did this, my appeared to get stuck at the boot logo screen, so you might have to perform another hard reboot...but I did get it working again).

also, try the greenify app - worked wonders for me.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] calbrs:
Try letting the battery run all the way down, recharge phone for 3 hours, wipe battery stats, then leave it plugged in for another 30 mins before you take it off the charger. Then use your phone normally and don't flash anything for the day. That usually fixes the battery meter on my phone to make it more accurate.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
that, and give it a few days to build up the cache again since you flashed a new kernel/ROM...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Hey guys,

Just a heads up, if you wanna try an odexed version of the latest PAC-man. This is still in the testing stage but I have been running it for a couple of days and it works great. ENJOY!!

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Does the ota work for anyone else?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] bkjolly:
OTA is for Milestones right now we need to get every device brought up to 4.3 and on Nighty's then we'll look at doing nightly OTA's
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] MistPhoenix:
Does not seem to, had to manually download 8/20 to flash the recent build today. I also received a 'null' as well.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
How's the battery life on the 8/20 version.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Good to know, thanks guys.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] MistPhoenix:
Seems to be about the same as the 8/17 build and all other 4.3 ROMs.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Donowolf:
I'm experiencing this issue on both the nightly (pac_scorpionmini-nightly-20130820.zip) and the odexed version posted (pac_scorpionmini_4.3-build.1.RC_20130820-174513.zip).

I tried whatever I could to correct the issue as well, to no effect. It seems to me that the in-call volume is at its lowest setting and cannot be raised, though the volume indicator moves. Calls are a necessity, so I'm flashing back to ReVolt until it (hopefully) gets fixed.

I can't quite figure out how to change the camera to save to SD card rather than to the internal storage. Anyone know how?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
It is no longer possible.

So manually transferring via a file explorer is what will need to be done?

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
I just recently started having trouble connecting to WiFi networks - it gets stuck while obtaining an IP address, then disconnects and starts over. I wanted to update to the 8/20 build, but I don't want to download it via cellular. Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Try wifi connection fixer. Or download to computer and transfer via usb.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:

I use folder mount (available in the play store) for this issue. It's also great for running games like Max Payne and Vice City that place game data files on the internal sdcard.

Let's see what's on my Razr M...

CKZ Origins

Dead Trigger

Dots (ideky but it's addicting!)

Dungeon Hunter 3/4

Eternity Warriors 2

Fruit Ninja (respect the classics man!)

Galaxy on Fire 2

GTA 3/Vice City

Into The Dead

Modern Combat 4

Nova 2/3

NFS Most Wanted (now that it decided to behave)

Plants Vs Zombies

Sonic 1/4 Ep. 1 & 2

And some miscellaneous emulators and still have 2gb space. Again I say a GODSEND! :victory: :victory: :victory:

Without it I wouldn't have anything outside of Nova 3 and Plants Vs Zombies.

Cuz you know...priorities
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] stanlalee:
but speaker phone is now usable...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Installed the 8/26 nightly. The battery life seems better, and the call volume is certainly improved over previous builds (though still not as loud as stock). No more random force closes, either.

Big improvements since the last build I had installed (8/23)! Good job dev team!

How do I get the weather to show in the pulldown like in the screenshot?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Settings->PAC-Man. Look for "Weather" under the "Statusbar" section.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
I did that, configured it and enabled it and its not showing.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
These are my settings, if it helps. My weather style is "banner".

When I first set of up, it showed empty data until I tapped "get weather". After that is been working fine.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
I upgraded to the 8/26 version and now its not reading the data on my SD card.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
I couldn't either, using the CM File Manager. ES file manager works fine, though.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
Loving it
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
I got that on the previous version. Which nightly are you running?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
August 23rd build
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pmbasehore:
Yeah, that's the one I had fc issues with too. Install the 8/26 build, it'll do you better!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
Will do... Downloading....
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
I'm not getting that great of battery life on the latest nightly...

I noticed that this process is taking up a large portion of my battery.

Is there any way to save power within the ROM?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] UN5EEN:
Mines not doing too well either, mine shows that my screen usage is high but I have my brightness fairly low and haven't had the screen on much.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
let us know what happens when you let the battery drain down to 0%. from my experience on PAC 4.2.2, is that it will display 1% for quite some time. the real measure is about 2 1/2 - 3 hours of on-screen time.

so even when it gets down to 1%, continue using it as normal (essentially, try to make it shut down on it's own).

once it does, plug it in (do NOT turn it on) and wait awhile for it to charge. then turn it back on. this is one way of calibrating the battery.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
New build on www.rom-*****.com
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] MistPhoenix:
Any notable changes? Does this have fixed call volume?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
I did that last night, once I woke up I went into CWM and cleared battery stats and rebooted.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
Hey is there a way to disable HW overlays on boot to get rid of the screen glitching? I'm getting tired of checking that setting every time I turn my phone on. Thanks "
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Does anybody used custom kernels for PACMAN 4.3?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jco23:
you really should not have done that.

the battery stats need to build up (cache) in order for the phone to develop an accurate reading. the purpose of the letting the phone automatically shut off and then to charge all the way is to reset the battery stats. after then, you'll need to give it a few days for the cache to build up.

think of it as a law of averages. during the first week or two of a baseball season, you may see a superstar hitter bat .210, but after awhile, they begin to settle in and start hitting again, slowly raising their batting average throughout the course of the season until they are back in their normal area around .300 again.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] stanlalee:

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
I've not seen a way in any ROM, so I assume no. Even though other options persist.

Just tried to install 8/28 and it fails every time? Just a bad download maybe? Anyone else?

Flashed fine for me, so I am guessing a bad install. Try again, if that doesn't work... Try from your computer and transfer with usb cable.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:

Is anyone else getting constant bootloops after flashing the GSM fix for CM10.1/4.2 for the 4.3 nightlies?

I see that CM10.2 has similar issues when applying the 10.1 GSM fix for 10.2... Apparently there is this fix from the CM thread but I haven't tried it for PAC yet (I only vaguely remember how to edit the build.prop and need to research it :-/)...

Is there a working GSM fix for the nightlies that I'm not seeing? If there is one available, is there any way it can get edited into the OP? Otherwise the new 4.3 nightlies are amazing. :victory:
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
Nope... No new one. The build.prop edit is probably the best way to do it, as the flashable zip method reverts your build.prop to when it was created, possibly causing other issues...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] styndall:
OK, thanks for the info! I'll try editing the build.prop this weekend and post my results.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
Yeah I remember some odd bugs reported on the 10.1 thread due to the gsm fix. Problem with merging it in to source is that it actually breaks some functionality for non-gsm users - namely group MMS but potentially others too
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
I used to really like this ROM, but the new updates are eh.. I don't like the new boot logo and the non-stock shutting down, "Android is upgrading" and so on.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
Android is upgrading? Are you getting that on boot or something?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Why don't you like the personalization? What about it don't you like? It's not for everyone... I am just getting input so I can let the graphics team know.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Boot logo is easily solved...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] lukkypuggy:
same here... i really could care less for the shuting down and restarting animations

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

I think it'd be cool to have the stock boot animation... It is a really cool one...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
It looks really cheesy to me. I love the feel and look of AOSP. So stock Android loading bars and the such.

The old boot logo on the 4.2.2 ROM was awesome. It incorporated the look of AOSP, but it was PAC.

I don't like criticising things, but this is my favorite ROM because of all the built-in customization, and the graphics seem like a 14 year old did them. That is simply MY opinion.

But because of that I went to CM 10.2, because they kept the AOSP feel.

(I also kinda don't like the swiping to PAC settings in the Settings app, but it that is bearable.)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] PhantomZwei:
I've had a huge decrease in battery life since I've been on 20130829 nightly release..usually the screen is what takes up the battery. 20130825 was fine though. I have been following this thread for some time now, thanks for all the work you put into this :)
