Any of you who were unable to boot solved or at least managed to get past the "no boot" problem with 4.3 PA ROMs?

I've tried many versions of 4.3 on both stock PA and PAC 4.3 and cannot get it to boot. It just hangs at the boot animation. Factory Wipe, Full Wipe, complete format of all partitions, nothing works. I don't use any extra flashes. Only the ROM and GApps. It never boots.

Awesome! Do you know if this still has the PA bug 211 and 222 in it? Short: its about the notification, ringer and system volume is linked.

i did manage to unlink ringer and notification with Xposed and a module but would be nice if this worked out of the box. :laugh:

Anyway again tnx for your great work.

I found a bug:

If you're opening the gallery in pie mode (fullscreen), your device automatically switch to notification bar mode. So you have to switch back manually to fullscreen.

Is it a known bug? Any fix/workaround?

Go to hybrid properties and open the app zone.

Change dpi of settings to 320 and desing to 1.360p

Can I just use pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130610-signed

The GAPPS link at the start of this thread is bad, me thinks, no? Can I just use pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130610-signed which I downloaded elsewhere? Nice ROM btw, it fixed lots of problems I was having in ASOP 1.5 for the Note II.

Also, I am running pa_n7100-3.60-10JUN2013. To update to pa_n7100-3.99-20130825, I don't have to do a factory reset do I? Well, thx for your advice.

Play Store not Registering Device

Hi all,

I moved to this from ProBAM ROM; as I really love the Hybrid Settings that PA offers. So, this is what I did to install it cleanly (in order):

Factory Reset

Formatted cache, data, system and sdcard partitions

Wiped Dalvik cache

Flash PA 3.99 ROM

Flashed PA-GAPPS 4.3 (release 20130822)

Fix Permissions

Reboot

However, I noticed one thing after signing in and grabbing all information to my phone from Google. Seems that on the Play Store, my phone was not being recognized as part of My Devices. See the image below:

I remembered that I flashed this ROM twice. The first time, I unchecked the question that was asking whether I would allow Google to restore settings to my phone. That was the first time I noticed that the device was not registered to the Play Store. During my second flash, I proceed to checking everything (including restoring the settings from Google).

I have tried the following, but still am stuck:

Force stop and clear Play Store cache and data.

Force stop and clear Google Services Framework cache and data.

Reboot.

Re-logging in and re-syncing everything.

Any ideas on what happened or how to fix this?

UPDATE: I've checked through Google Dashboard, and it's listed there. Unfortunately, it's still not in the Play Store. Maybe I need to wait some time?

As you can see from the screenshot the shortcuts ate small icons midway up screen

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] anoneemooz:
I think this is how PA implemented the lockscreen shortcuts. As static ones just there on screen. CM does the slider shortcuts. Some other ROMs do both.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dzontra11:
Not a bad rom at all but still have some lags here and there.

The glitches problem solved many days back mate. Through a root explorer go to /system/buildprop

Find the line

hwui.render_dirty_regions=false

Just add

debug. Before the line. Like this

debug.hwui......

Then save the file, exit, reboot, solved.

Do not show your IMEI!!

Just an advice, I think you should remove the pic with your IMEI ASAP!! Just so noone takes it and uses it on a different phone!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] herojig:
Great idea though eh? I agree about the placement, in landscape it looks pretty strange. Btw, do you know how to get widgets on the screen? Can I put anything I want there, like a battery meter? thx!

Anyone else having problems with battery life? When i was going to sleep i had 81 percent of battery i check the battery stats and have android os at top with 5 minutes then when i wake up about 9 hours later i have 1 hours on android os and 69% battery !!!!! i dont think this is ok??

Owh, sorry sorry. Thanks for the advice... I just removed it. How can people use my IMEI? Just wanted to know for safekeeping... :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] unubtanium:
Hi

No reason to be sorry. :)

Its just good practice to not share it.

As it can be used by others to change a stolen phones IMEI to yours.

And they would know that that imei isvalid one as it is yours and you have not reported your phone stolen.

U c?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Sheeptar:
I'm gathering up the courage to update to this ROM and just want to know something..

In step 2 "Formatted cache, data, system and sdcard partitions", this is the internal sdcard, right? And I put the ROM and GAAPS on external sdcard?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] MU24R:
i did a factory reset but not formatted system and sdcard partitions it its needed to do this cuz i have problems with the rom
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] shingers5:
In general you don't need to format sdcard partitions as a mega wipe scripts do that.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] veesix:
that's something I'd like to know too. ;)

Also, I have another question, sorry if it's a stupid one but these are the first steps for me in modding, and I've decided to try this awesome ROM (right now my Note 2 is fully stock). I've read about huge data consumption from Google Play Services on custom 4.3 ROMs, anyone experiencing it, or it has been fixed?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] herojig:
Well, I think something has to handle that data, no? - and there sure is a lot of it for such a small device (he says from his Contiki days). So far I am amazed at the performance increase from this ROM on my sammy hardware. blows my mind really, when i think about then and now. I guess I could measure, but I'll just pay my ISP more for the data dump into my hand. The annoying thing for me is the amount of notifications coming from the cloud. holy crap, now I even have a little turd that pops out on the screen every few seconds! Then I found this: NotificationsOff and turned all that crap off :laugh: Gotta love all the effort put into these alternative ROMs.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] veesix:
Good to know :D

I read about 180mb of data per day or so, that's what worried me ;)

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] herojig:
well, i've only had 4.3 running for about a day now, and I can see Google Services now comes in at the #3 slot for using the battery, right after Android OS. ya got your screen, android at 17% and google at 13%. Google Play services looks like the big hitter in that package. If you are on a mobile plan, I guess this is an issue...dunno, I live in Nepal and we are plan-less here. Wi-fi is measured in GBs, 15-60gb chunks. The reporting of data sent may be borked on my phone since I installed PA 4.3, it's not showing anything sent for the last 24 hours. In circle battery, it's saying Google Services is using 100kb every 5 minutes, but that screen is also frozen. maybe "there's an app for that" that actually shows some real numbers, not sure. Battery usage looks higher with this ROM however, over TW stock... but that's just a gut feeling... it could be exact ally the same as I never paid much attention since the note 2 would last more than a day anyway with it's huge bat. Once I have some real numbers, I'll let ya know. :cowboy:

Pretty much, that's what I did, but in the latest TWRP I did the default wipe which is a factory reset. I wiped the internal card and all the data was loaded back using all the cloud stuff and I guess Titanium as well. In short, a clean install. Anything less did not seem to work here. Be fearless, that's what I say (until I got what looked like an EFS / no baseband error - that made me a bit nervous for a moment :)

**** New Rom Update - 05-09-13 ****

* Updated from latest PA & CM 10.2 Sources.

* Fixed the Graphics Glitch issue for time being until the new Mali drivers are added.

* Some bug fixes and improvement to HALO

* T-Mobile Theme working fully.

* Re-ordering of the Setting Menu
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jusuchin85:
Thanks for the update! Going to run it onto my phone, and report any findings! :)

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

Yea, for me, I want a clean install of the ROM on my phone. I have an external SD card ready with a Titanium backup of all my apps, plus my call logs and sms logs. I've also placed the ROM and GAPPS on my external. But like what most of the peeps here say: you don't necessarily have to do so.

So may not have an external SD, so they place the files on their SD. That is also possible! No worries, as long as you ignore the SDcard partition and focus on the rest, you're good to go! Happy flashing! :fingers-crossed:

Ah, noted. Thanks for the tip, bro! Will definitely keep this with me. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jusuchin85:
[MENTION=539770]tilaksidduram[/MENTION], the new release has been good so far. Graphics glitches fix is in, menu ordering in the Settings section looks good. I didn't bump into any issues so far (just some typical usage), but for now, I'll give a :good:

Hopefully, the new Mali drivers can be merged into this soon. :)

UPDATE:

The issue with the device not appearing on the Play store has been resolved with this fix.

Seems to be affecting a lot of devices with 4.3. Hope this helps anyone out there with the same issue. :o

Wiped everything so it's a completely clean install of both and still nothing works.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Winflo:
Devil kernel says : "Make sure you run JB 4.2 with stock CM partitioning." i think you have to stay at 4.2 for devil.I also noticed an other issue.

I often use miracast / wireless display but on my device there is no option in the display menu for that , with (320dpi , 360p) it sould be there :S

Anyone can use it / has that option ?

For those of you having stuck at boot problems: Install a recovery that allows you to wipe or format the "preload" partition. Once you wipe that, you should have no problems booting.

Hi, I read in this thread that HALO is supposed to be an alternative to multi-window. How does this work? How do I run two apps at once?

EDIT: Kinda got the hang of it, not sure if it's better or worse than multiwindow.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
It's not really multi-window in my opinion, so you can't really compare the two. You don't have 2 apps side by side, but one app as an overlay over the other.

If someone would do multiwindow good it would be very nice I think, but unlikely to happen (See the Cornerstone/CM thing).

For now I think Halo is a very good solution for "multitasking" on android phones and the devs say it does not "break" apps (like cornerstone would have) because they think they run on a smaller screen (like in a container I think).

I'm 100% sure about what I said, but thats how I understand it after reading a bit.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Winflo:
Could someone proof that there is no miracast / wireless display switch in the display options even in 360p mode ?

I am really confuses because only my device hasnt one o.O

Here is a pic and its 320dpi and 360p :/
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Sheeptar:
Thanks. I've decided that it's not better, it's worse. I loved that I was able to have youtube open and listen to music while doing other things. HALO doesn't do that so well.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
But? Two sounding processing at the same time (A video and a music) would be meaningless? Besides you still can play any game and change the song from your player which is pre-defined to work with Halo without quiting or even pausing the game.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Sheeptar:
I listen to music on YT, not watch videos. And I can't browse the net at the same time because every time I switch back to YouTube it sends me on YouTube start page.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
Ok. There was a solution for this. On old 2.3.6 days I did something to my browser and when some flash thing, or music, or a video was open it stayed open even if it is sent background. So this setting was convincing the app that it was still on the foreground and it never went into the hibernate/pause state. The name? I don't remember :(
