[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisnjules:
I have just bought an O2 XDA (PW10A1) from Ebay. I have installed a Vodafone SIM, and I managed to unlock the XDA by replacing the ROM with the xda developers ROM SER V1.2 - superb, and a donation made just for that.

My next problem is how to get the phone to see the contacts on the Vodafone SIM card. Note. The phone works fine, and I can update contacts from my PC using activesync, however the contacts on the SIM aren't or don't appear to be visible anywhere (that I can see).

Also the 'SIM Tool Kit' included in the ROM upgrade doesn't open or work at all. If I tap the icon in programs, nothing happens. If it did, would this allow me to see the SIM contacts? :?

To all you boffins, my thanks in anticipation!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruisin-thru:
You should click on "sim manager", this will bring up your sim contacts, you can then either move some or all of the sim contacts to the pda contacts list, sim contacts are not automatically copied, it must be done manually.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisnjules:
Many thanks for your posting, but I have to admit that my wife figured it out first thing this morning. :oops:

Doh!

Everything works fine now.

Cheers & Happy Christmas!

Here is an error log when I want to flash official .434 ftf:confused:

And here is the stderr.log

Some expert can help me? plz
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msc3169:
As far as I remember u need flashtool beta 4 to flash .434 firmware im not sure about it though as I recently flashed a .350 firmware with beta 6,

I'd suggest you try another ftf as there were some which didn have loader.sin included in them, maybe thats why the error.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [NUT]:
Actually, It does not matter which version of FlashTool you use to flash any version of the firmware ... considering the original error, it's even unrelated...

06/029/2013 09:29:17 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MINOR";ERR_CODE="0026";ERR_DYNAMIC=" Write TA failed.";

The TA partition is actually something which should not be touched by an FTF... it's phone specific and contains everything which makes your phone unique ... flashing the TA from someone else can actually render your phone bricked ...

[MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION] may be able to shed a light on the error...

[MENTION=3125327]jason57[/MENTION] you might want to download a different FTF and try again... Do you have the link to the FTF you downloaded and tried to flash?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatthehckeric:
Hi all, I new here to the forum.

I understand my question might be INCREDIBLY redundant, but hopefully you guys won't take it to hard on me! I came from a GNex prior to purchasing my i9500 S4 this past week and I found no need to root my old gnex because I had no problems with it whatsoever. But of course, Samsung packs tons of bloatware which I would like to do away a few of them on the S4. My question is, can someone direct me or help me with what rooting is all about and how to do this properly? I understand rooting is to remove unnecessary amounts of bloatware off the phone and that could possibly increase performance/battery life on the phone, but I am incredibly unfamiliar with terms such as freezing, kernals, etc. I'm a super noob when it comes to the likes of this. I'd greatly appreciate anyone who could help out as I do not want to mess my phone up! :D

wasn't so difficult, right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Hi guys,

I just went into system apps, via Solid Explorer to grab an apk to put on my dev-host, when I got an error saying that I don't have root access.

I tried accessing other files in system root to get the same error. So I downloaded Root Checker and for some reason that's also saying that I don't have root access.

I know for a fact I have though as I've just been using root only features in ROM Toolbox Pro without an issue.

Any ideas as to why it's saying I don't have root access when I clearly do?

I'm on stock 4.2.2 and used the rooting tools in mike1986.'s thread to root once I'd flashed the stock ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldo101t:
one of those 4.2.2 roms didn't have root i can't remember which one, they forgot superuser or something
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naren_viswa:
Hey,

Does SU allow permission to access solid explore???

Click Thank if you find my post as useful :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
I downloaded the deodexed version which had superuser installed by using the rooting tools.

I flashed it a few days ago and have had no issues with being rooted until now. As I say, I'm still rooted but my phone's telling me I'm not and I'm not sure why.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
It already had the permissions from when I first installed solid explorer.

I just found out what my problem was. Superuser was installed by default and I downloaded SuperSU afterwards and must've disabled superuser and therefore was getting partial unroot issues.

I've now uninstalled superuser and I've got full access back :)

FAQs

PACman FAQ

PIE FAQ (4.3)

Q. What is PIE?

A.. PIE is a new way to interact with your notifications. It provides easy gesture based interaction with all your system information without taking up valuable screen space.

Q. How do I access Pie?

A. Swipe your finger from the pie gravity edge (default is the bottom) toward the center of your screen. While keeping your finger on the screen, drag your finger to the desired button and release to click.

Q. My PIE doesn't look like the ones in the screenshots. I don't see the Clock or notifications.

A. Notifications work either through the status bar or PIE. If the status bar is enabled, PIE reverts to just the softkeys. To enable the full PIE experience, enable Expanded Desktop by going to Settings -> System -> Power Menu -> Expanded Desktop (Status bar hidden). Access the power menu and turn Expanded Desktop on.

Q. How do I change PIE colors?

A. Go to Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> Interface and change the Navigation bar color.

Q. Buttons or keyboard rows near the edge of my screen are nonresponsive.

A. PIE's trigger area overlay is covering the edge of your screen. Change either the Trigger Area or Pie Gravity in Settings -> System -> PIE Settings.

Q. I don't like PIE, how do I turn it off?

A. To disable PIE set Trigger Area to None in Settings -> System -> Pie Settings. Remember to disable Expanded Desktop to turn status bar on again.

ROM FAQ

Q. Do I need to do a full wipe before installing this ROM?

A. Unless coming from a previous version of PACman it is highly recommended to do a full wipe before installing. This includes coming from ParanoidAndroid ROMs.

Q. What do the settings in Hybrid Properties do?

A. ParanoidAndroid has an extensive guide to the settings at this thread: [GUIDE][PARANOIDANDROID] A Complete Compendium on ParanoidPreferences [PA-Settings] Please do not post questions related to PA Settings in this thread, they are not ROM specific and all we'll do is point you to that thread.

Q. How do I turn on the Navigation Bar??

A. To enable the NavBar open Hybrid Properties, swipe the screen to the right to peek through to the menu.

Select Interface, now set your desired NavBar size with the slider.

Q. Something isn't working. What do I do?

A. First, make sure you are running the latest stable version. Try a backup data using Titanium and do a full wipe reinstall. If the problem persists, report what it is and what triggers it so the dev can duplicate it.

Q. What is a Experimental Build?

A. Experimental Builds are Linaro builds including O3 strict-aliasing optimizations with highly optimized TWRP recovery and a Over and Under clocked Recovery. They may get updated every week or so. These Builds can be potentially harmful to your device and are not supported by the dev by any means.

Q. Can we flash this on Locked Bootloader?

A. No, This requires custom kernel and can never be flashed on locked bootloaders.

Thread cleaned

If you have no developmental input please do not post

The correct title should just state Original Development

Meaning it is for all the sub carriers mentioned in the Forum's header

Not the place to be arguing about this

Thank you for your cooperation

Good work on this rom man! Thumbs up, best I've used so far!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gordietm:
Just flashed today's build 06/07, thanks.

How do I get Pie to work? I can't seem to launch it even though I have all the settings arranged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gs2usr:
Make sure you're in expanded desktop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
What's your PIE gravity and Trigger area set at?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gordietm:
Pie gravity is is Right and Trigger area is Big (default)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Try this, slide your finger up. (From the bottom of the screen), and see if PIE shows up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gordietm:
No, nothing :(

Edit: OK, got it working. I minimized the nar bar and set the gravity area at the top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
I haven't try Ktoonsez's kernel yet. I'll try that right after I fix my dualboot problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CNKirby:
[/COLOR]

I had the same issue. Switched from Trebuchet to Nova Launcher. Haven't had an issue since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tzlot:
Had the same issue a few times but only immediately after flashing. After a battery pull it works fine - goes through the usual upgrading apps stuff and settles down rock solid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Agree. It's happened to me lots of times with PAC, Slim, and Beanstalk. I don't even pull the battery, I just hold power till it vibrates then it'll boot fine after that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bojamijams:
Can anyone run AnTuTu on this rom? Do you get at least 26,000 with it?

I'm curious about the speed since this ROM has a lot of features, it makes me think it might not be very fast?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
I got this last month with tmo chronic kernel and crossbreeder
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
I use the latest tmo chronic kernel on the 1009 nightly works amazing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gordietm:
So what changed in the rom that we can't use custom kernels in the latest nightlies?

SGH-I337M jfltecan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
We split our frameworks into 2 parts to allow us to add more features to it etc.. So if you're using the kernel that came with it, you should be fine. But if you're using a different kernel, tell your kernel developer to add this to their ramdisk. http://review.pac-rom.com/#/c/2915/2/rootdir/init.rc This contains the right installation methods for the frameworks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jorge787:
Are the builds con the OP your builds Nick? If not...where can I find them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Check the "Downloads" (Nightlies) or the "Other Info" (Weeklies) in the first post. You can try the weekly as I just posted a build like an hour ago, this one contains multi-window feature (WIP).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jorge787:
Thanks, I'm DL'ing right now to give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
I just flashed the latest nightly. Can't figure out how to use multi window.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jorge787:
I dont know how I managed to activate it. I want it gone... LOL. XD

BTW.... Nick your build runs smooth, really liking it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Use the recent button and you'll see the multi window.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
This is all I got, I'm on the nightly from the 15th

I'm assuming I'm on a build that doesn't support multi window. The link to the weeklys in op is dead. Can anyone show me where it is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
I updated the links. Click on My FTP-Folder. But keep in mind the the Multi window is a WIP, so you might run into some bugs.:p If you do, post a reply here. http://review.pac-rom.com/#/c/2947/

was looking forward to trying out this rom.

Installed great, booted up fine.

however, initial startup. setting i.e. language(location), crashes. after I choose language as canada/US, and tells me to blame some guy. :laugh: (Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped. Blame Tyler.)

downloaded the 10.17.zip.

install procedure was , wipe data factory reset, format cache, format data, format system, clear cache, clear dalvik, install rom, install g apps, clear cache, clear dalvik and reboot.

any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Flash PA or Slims gapps. That should fix up some FCs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dfg187:
Thanks for the reply. I will try slim gapps. Pardon my noobness, what is PA?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
PA is ParanoidAndroid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonwi5:
I have the same prob will try slim first, pa second.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
It turned out that something broke the setup wizard. It's affecting all the PAC devices, and we currently have a fix for it. I'll try to post a build tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonwi5:
Thanks will try again then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
It's fixed. Can you try using the latest nightly please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonwi5:
Yes already did it went super smooth this time and I'm currently restoring apps and customizing the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tzlot:
Yep working great - dirty flashed 1020 over 1012 without any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dfg187:
Great fix. Thanks Nick. Everything works well. Soooo many things to play with. Task650 who?

Anyone have issues with status bar brightness slider?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
Yeah it don't work for me. And when I pick auto brightness on or off it crashes just a system ui fc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Auto brigtness worked for me. My SystemUI does not crash.

And no I'm not having issues with the brightness slider bar? :what:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
I'm on 10 09 using chronic kernel. I'm guessing my problem is with that set up. Not too worried about it.

Unless someone can add the code to the chronic ram disk for me. Me love you long time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
Could you add lionheart governor to the kernel? I would be too happy. I can get anyone else to compile their kernel with the ram disk code you supplied
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Ktoonsez's kernel got some sweet features too. And it works with PAC, just make sure to use his latest test version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dfg187:
on the new nightly 10.21.2013, things are great still, but having and issue with the ASOP keyboard, and swiping, tapping will work, swiping with crash the systemUI.

also the brightness slider bar will work after a fresh install, but after a reboot, it crashes the systemUI again as well..

all irrelevant issues,

Nick, would u like us to post issues here? or some other thread, or not ***** at all?

lol.

thanks

edit.. i installed Ktoonz kernal as well, this may have been causing the problem, along with PA gapps.

i put regular gapps, no kernal mods, and so far so good.

edit again.. wasn't gapps or kernal.

goign back to 10.20.13 build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:
Can you try to recreate the problem and get me a logcat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tombeach22:
On the 10 21 once I boot up I am unable to start rom toolbox. To restore my apps. I went back to 10 09 and I decided to try titanium backup but the superuser on that version won't work with it, don't know why. Updated by flashing the Latest zip. Then su doesn't work at all.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dillsnik:
Hi there, thank you so much for this wonderful rom! just wondering which build is most recommended as of right now? just looking for the most stable version...thanks!

Read the op.

That was last release. Unless you want to run a nightly. I use 1009 and it's amazing

Im having when I customize the stausbar ... Also I have problem with some apps in the upper side and the DPI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick0703:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] R_captivate:
In the upper side the white space i have that problem with some apps like ebay playstore and others
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dfg187:
I think this is due to changing the resolution of your phone using hybrid settings, no?

even when i changed it to stock UI, the size of the font was great in the status bar, but there was that white lined gap, sometimes with certain apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dillsnik:
thanks, i didn't see the link in the OP, but i do see he states the last stable build was released 7/16

how would i download 1009? i can only see back to 1021 on the nightlies

If you can run the lite version but not the pro version then something is wrong with the app.
