Hey guys,

just want to share some news around the ROM.

First, still no success on that damn GPS... I'm pretty clueless now but will not give up, will give it a go again before next release.

Regarding updates, the PA team is pretty busy now on something new (maybe Halo Colors :p) so only smaller features got added.

I'll be on holiday for a week so expect a bigger update only after that - hopefully with some new PA inventions.

Meanwhile there is a great app covered on XDA Portal as well: PA Shortcuts. You can create shortcuts to enable/disable Halo or fullscreen (pie) mode or other realted options. (I use it combined with Apex launcher's gestures and it's a fantastic app, try it! :))

So stay tuned! ;)

Just wanted to report a few minor bugs

1) multi-touch pinch to zoom is buggy in pictures

2) 720p does not work natively

3) status bar sometimes disappears

overall, very impressed with this ROM:) battery life is simply one of the best I have seen on a hd2 ROM...great work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
New build is up! ;)

Wiping dalvik cache should be enough.

Download v1.2

​

Make sure you back up your Hybrid settings manually when updating!

Copy system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf to the sdcard before installing the new version. Copy it back afterwards, set permissions, reboot, and everything should be back as before.

Hey NxStep...I had installed your latest version last night...havent tested anything yet, just normal use of the phone and everything works perfectly so far

If I see any bug I will report...

Thank you for your amazing rom!!!

Edit: native wifi tethering doen't seem to work...it says "turning wifi hotspot on" and it stays there...my laptop didn't find the network so i guess it does not work...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nicholasdm:
Is this a working ROM for general users or is this for developers only?

I just installed it on my HD2 and waited >30 minutes for the initial boot. Wiped all caches, installed from SD card using Clockwork, and it's just sitting here on the flashy fish logo. I did a battery pull and rebooted, and have now been waiting for another 15 minutes with no successful boot.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] eliaskammas:
No..it's not for developers only...something goes wrong

There is alot to state if you need help..

What bootloader are you using, check your partition sizes to see if are enough for this particular rom etc..

There are alot of tutorials to help you out..try to find it and if you can't report back..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nicholasdm:
Thank you for suggesting I check my partition size. While the author said the "suggested" system size is 290, apparently it is required to be 290 or larger. I had to set it to 400MB before it'd work right.

Seems to be working now! And wow, way faster so far than the Gingerbread ROM I had.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
New build running smoother than before I think, all good so far. Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Unpacked size of system is 263mb so it must be something else. There was a problem reported earlier related to cwm or cwm based recoveries, it works well with twrp.

I will test the rom with cwm when I have some more time, until then anyone can give me a logcat if facing the same problem.

Anyway I'm glad you guys like the update! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

[MENTION=4901065]NxStep[/MENTION]

263mb with gapps install or non gapps install? you must go ever minimum 10% higher than the system folder unpacked !!!

if you have a rom with non gapps inside you have a small system partition size. when the user install the gapps package they must create a larger partition for the second install with gapps.

a little tip from me! write your installation step by step and with what tools. so all have the same installation and they can find the error better.

Pixelfreak

P.S. i have installed this rom on my TmoUS HD2 with HD2 Tool settings (CWM Toutch) and have no problem with the install. The rom works good and is fast. for me have the rom too many gimmicks. LOL this is only my adjustment
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dj_crash1981:
Thanks for a grate rom so far so good and yes the the update is better :)

Sent from my Paranoid Android 3.68
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Core gapps are included in the installer (no options to choose them or whatsoever) so it's 263+26,3=289,3 with the suggested +10%. :laugh: But you're right I will revamp the OP with some instructions etc just to avoid these problems. Still don't know though why some had problems with cwm. There might be something with the installer script or binary. How big was your system partition on your Tmous?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

i have ever the same sizes on my TmoUs 400MB system and 10MB cache. The problem is the cwm and twrp. i work ever with cwm touch from HD2 Tool. the user what work with twrp and install my roms have mistakes and problems. in my first tests i have test the twrp and my roms not work. i can not say what is the difference from cwm touch to twrp!!!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Hey man,

You forgot to include NativeSD Manager for the NativeSD version!

It's a very nice update (even though I had to do a clean install cause one app crashed, fresh install solved that). There's also the problem of not being able to access the SD card after connecting the phone to PC - the thing that allowed you to dismount the SD from the notification area is not here.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aiwenor:
Use USB Mass Storage link v1.1.4 stable.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nicholasdm:
Very nice, smooth ROM for this old pig of a phone.

I'm in a bit of a pickle it seems. I clicked on something called "Pie" and it seems to have completely disabled my notifications bar, battery meter, signal bar, clock, etc... and instead put this little dot on the side of the screen that doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose since its only options are "Hide", "Clear notifications" and "Hide/Silence until woken up". I spent last night clicking on everything through Settings to try and disable it and am just about ready to do a wipe/reset to restore the original ROM image, but wanted to try and get some help from you guys. What am I missing?

EDIT: I should also note that somehow I was finally able to get rid of the "Pie" icon by clicking, holding, and dragging it to the desktop trash, but no status bar still. :(

I also had a heck of a time trying to find out how to perform a standard SD mass storage mount yesterday and resorted to pulling my card out and putting it in to an old Droid 2. I even tried dismounting the SD card first from Storage. A removable disk would appear, but it would appear as an empty device, prompting to "Insert Disk" when clicked on.

Thanks for all your hard work on this ROM!

I can not connect the phone to pc, does not read the sd. I tried usb mass storage and similar programs without success. As I can solve?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Weird, USB mass storage works for me. Have you allowed it root access?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pabloj:
what program you use to connect?. I have the rom on nativesd
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Maybe [MENTION=659207]kokotas[/MENTION] could give us some hints about recovery problems, we might contact him about this.

Thanks, NativeSD app was in the mods folder, there was a derp in the installer script - sorry for that, please install it from the rom zip afterwards. Will correct it in the next release.

@ allhttp://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=535343 havin problems with USB mass storage: PA is based on AOSP sources right from google which does not have this option built-in. I tried to port it from CM but had no luck yet. (Same with perf. options btw.) You can use the app linked above, but be careful it messed up superuser for me once that's why it's not included by default. Alternatively you can use AirDroid or a similar app for transfering files via WiFi.

Hmm Android 2.3 is completely different with different libs. Have you tried it on other 4.2.2. roms? As a reference, can you try the app with tytung's CM10.1 build? I've inserted the video lib files from tytung to enable 720p, so the playback capabilities should be the same - still worth a shot to try it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] De11:
I tried many Android 4.x of insertions, including NexusHD2 and nothing.. Black screen:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Looks like a problem with ICS+ drivers and there's nothing we can do really about it. Try contacting the developers of the app and tell them there's this black screen thing on your device, maybe they would know how to solve this problem.

If you're using NativeSD, I would suggest installing a lightweight CM7 ROM (like Rick_1995's Barebone CM) just for the purpose of Twitch.

Hello :)

What's the godd conf for this rom ?

Thanks !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sambafr:
Hi

Great work for this rom,

Again, i have a new phone !!!

Small question :

It is said that developper options have been ported but i can not find the menu, am i missing something? (i am searching for the very useful long press kill option)

Thank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Robbie P:
go to settings/about/build number and tap it 7 times (then click your heels together and say "there's no place like home") and you will be a developer;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sambafr:
Thank You for your response.

Maybe i ll need more than this to learn to cook.

I get a stange error . I have reinstalled this build on Nand/sd ext for the second time .Everything is fine than suddenly UI system keeps force closing even after reboot wipe cache.fix permissions...

Therefore build become unusable

IS there a "dev" tweak or do i have to do a hard reset. Do you want me to send a logcat?

Thanks for the help
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Robbie P:
Hi sambafr, this looks like an installation problem. It would be better if you posted in the Q&A/troubleshouting thread for this rom (link here). But I suggest that since you are using dataonext that you increase your system partition size to around 390Mb and try again.

Edit; OOPS, I just read NxStep's post in the Q&A thread, it says "I do not want to have a strict dev thread in the dev forum though so bugs, errors, issues, install problems, general usage reports or anything development related, etc should still go there."

Sorry for recommending that you post install problems there, my bad.

Also, sorry for calling it the "troubleshouting" thread :)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dheerajk27:
Have been testing this ROM since past two days and have found the ROM very interesting. It's good to see the PA development going on and I have found the Pie and Halo features really interesting. Though initially showed some display glitches, the ROM has settled in well over a course of time. Though it's not as smooth as Pixeldroid's AOKP ROMs, it's really a great step in ParanoidAndroid development. Haven't had a single reboot yet. Hopefully, this ROM gets more updates. Thank you NxStep for your great efforts...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
What display glitches?

I know that the Maps app behaves very weirdly, like twitching or something, makes it unusable.

Photos with flash also come too green, just see this pic.

System not boot normal

Hello to everyone!

I have EU HD2. I decided to install this ROM, instead my PA2.57.

I have started AROMA Installer via MAGLDR and CWMod. (Using option "Install ZIP")

Installed with "factory rest", with no errors.

Rebooted device, and now I can see boot animation, but device can't stop booting.

It takes almost 40minuts, and nothing changed.

Is I'm missing something?

Please help, and sorry for my English...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] scadl:
Problem solved

Sorry for my yesterday panic...

I figure it out, how to solve my problem.

And this can help anyone who get the problem, same as mine.

So, the problem is - a size of partitions.

I have: 'system' = 250M, 'cache' = 4M, recovery = 3M

This ROM needs (I think): 'system' = 400M, 'cache' = 5M, 'recovery' = 10M

After I repartitioned my device with this sizes, ROM installs and boot successfully.

NxStep, thank you for great work.

But I think, you could add this requirements into ROM description...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
i just wanted to say, thanks a LOT for this rom!

one thing tho, maybe you should set pie trigger area to small by default, as it may seem like a bug to most people who don't read the OP
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dhruna:
Hi All,

I had downloaded previous version 1.2 few days back and today trying to install it on NativeSD which has 800 MB space free.

after installation when i am booting the it shows boot animation and does not move to next level. i had tried it two times but no lock.

any solution ?

Installation Type : MAGLDR, NativeSD, RMNET

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
What recovery did you use?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dhruna:
4EXT SD Version.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
Odd, works fine for me with the same combination
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Please try the one suggested in the original post, TWRP-Ex, or if that doesn't work, I would suggest MIUI Recovery since that works for me. If it still doesn't work, please attach a logcat.

Funny thing is that suggested by OP TWRP-Ex doesn't work for me and I had to use something else.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Robbie P:
What size is your ext4 partition? 800Mb free space may seem to be enough, but remember that android limits write access to memory (ie sd ext in nativeSD) when free space falls below 10% of total storage. Also some roms have a minimum recommended space for them to work. I would think of increasing your ext4 partition size or backup and delete a rom that is already there.

Updated the OP with recommended partition sizes based on user experience, though it's still under investigation why the ROM behaves strange sometimes...

Guys, I'm still on 1.2 and I installed that new fancy card-based YouTube and videos don't load. Do you have this issue as well or is it just me?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Shadow_Nexus:
Hi, thanks for Paranoid v1.4a ROM.

A little feedback from me on partition size.

Because I'm using magldr/cwm recovery, I thought that 400MB system partition size is too big for me, so I took experiment with it.

Here it is:

- System partition 300MB, 20MB cache: Stuck at welcome screen, right after "This phone belongs to....".

- System partition 330MB, 20MB cache: UI response is slow, got FC on settings.

- System partition 360MB, 20MB cache: UI response is better, got FC only on settings -> language & input.

- System partition 370MB, 20MB cache: UI response is much better, no Fcs at all.

- I haven't try with 380MB, 390MB, & 400MB system partition.

After 2 days testing with all PIMs loaded & 3 email account synced still running fine at 370MB system partition, no FCs, & no hangup. :good:

For an unknown reason, any NAND ROMs whatever it is (sense, gb, jb, miui, aosp, aokp, etc.) I just can't get it boot if I set small cache (below 15MB), even if I change the recovery.

I'm using EU's HD2 (magldr) with Transcend 64GB UHS card.

Oh, just 1 question.

Is it possible to change DNS settings for mobile network?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
You can try Mounts2SD which has the same effect. (not tested though)

Yes it was reported on different devices and ROMs too (including tytung's), so please do not update youtube from play store. You can revert to an older one from the rom install zip. (just copy it to system/app, set permissions and reboot should be fine)

Hey, many thanks for your feedback! :good: I think I will update the OP with 370 MB. You can try Mounts2SD (link above) and move cache to sd-ext to spare some more space on nand. Or you can trim the rom zip by deleting unused sounds, bootanim, apps like apollo etc.

About DNS: quick google search gave me this: Set DNS You can try it and report back if it works (not tested yet)! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
1.4a boots up now (NativeSD) but root is not working properly (su binary shows as nil size and supersu can't update it). Any idea why?

EDIT flashed again, all seems good now
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Shadow_Nexus:
Since I have free spare time so I test it.

Installed, configured (need busybox to run), then reboot.

And it give me an error message saying "The sd-ext device /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is already in use by another script!" :confused:

Log file attached.

And about changing DNS settings, it can be done from "ROM toolbox lite" apps..

Ring when receving calls

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Super ROM is there a way toi have the ring centered when receiving a call?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Since few days ago the screen of the phone won't come back on unlocking (just buttons light up) if I don't put the phone to sleep manually after/during charging so I need to be careful when charging, else I will have to reset the phone. I guess (and hope) that's not a hardware issue. Phone works even with no screen - I can receive a call with the press of the green call button and end it with red and I can reboot with adb.

There's also a possibility that I messed up some settings and I'd just have to start from scratch which is not something I'd want to do :x Or some software. Dunno, maybe one of you had this problem as well.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
It was first fixed in 4.3 sources, but if you adjust the phone app's dpi (try 200) it will appear correctly.

I had this problem after dirty flashing a lot of updates (=upgraded from prev. versions with only wiping dalvik cache all the time). Now reinstalled it with full wipe after backups and it flies again. :) (Still not sure whether it's not caused by nativeds, all the system I tried became laggy etc after some time on sd-ext...)
