ParanoidAndroid3.69

V1.4

Q/A thread for the ROM

After a few months of work, I present you the one and only original ParanoidAndroid ROM brought to our beloved HD2.

It is compiled from source including all the great PA features.

Make sure you check out the PA team's G+ page for news, updates, tutorials, etc!

​

Download v1.4a

(please do not mirror any of my files)

Recommended system size:

with TWRP recovery on NAND: 290MB

with any other recoveries: 400MB

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.

i almost had first post ^^^^^ :( ^^^^^

been waiting for some time for someone to port the new paranoid, and to test halo

THAAAANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS for your hard work!

PS: i may not be able to download/test this week

EDIT: PixelFreak has it :p

re

yes [MENTION=3907492]gilbert32[/MENTION] i have the rom on my computer. tomorrow i have a free day and if i have time i will install this rom :cool:

i meant you have the first post after op :p you posted it while i was still typing :D

still, can't wait to try. downloading @ 73%

ahhh

ahhh okay.i also wants to be the first time.LOL

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Number 8:
So if anyone could compare this ROM to Slim ROM V3b (smoothness, animation transitions, etc.) it'd be great.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

young ... this rom is based on an entirely different basis, and you can not always change something or the system expand with another matters. if you need the slim rom you must work with slim rom. please read the first post:

So please test my ROM, report bugs and stange behaviors. Please attach a logcat if possible. Keep in mind that this ROM is based on pure AOSP sources so some features are missing that you might be used to when using CM-based ROMs like AOKP, Xylon, Slim, etc.

Be kind as this is my very first project.

this is the first compiled rom from NxStep and you ask thats make this rom to other "rom". have you installed and test this rom???

please more recognition

pixelfreak

P.S.

i cant wait for the install. LOL. My feadback for this rom

- clean instal with non problems

- the first screen is black and delete with the HOME button. (the same in my 4.2.2 roms)

- the dpi is to big for the navbar menu (i can not see the last icon to 100%. this menu have 3 icons. with dpi 200 is perfect)

- WIFI and mobile network works perfekt

- the big animations make the rom to slow for me. this we can change in the menu. i have installed the Nova Launcher and the rom is fast and good

- from time to time the touchscreen not responding properly

tomorrow i will test more this rom
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
To be honest, the framework animations (transition when switching app, etc) are not as smooth as on Pixelfreak's or macs18max's ROMs. I compared it to mac's Xylon-EV as I used it before this one. Although I don't know the reason behind, this might depend on the framework which is totally different in the two cases as stated above. The PA framework has to deal with the per-app transitions, Halo notifications, while the features of a CM-based ROM are mainly "fine tuning" things like middle aligned clock, etc. These settings are not too complex compared to Halo for example, often just a variable needs to be changed to get the result.

Anyway I'm really curious about the new features in CM (per-app privacy guard already merged or secure messaging WIP) and what effect they might have. It seems to be a new (nice) way for CM regarding feature enrichment imo. :)

I will do my best to speed up my ROM of course as I personally do not like laggy things either. As for now, it's worth to press yourself throught the developer and performance options just to find out what settings fit you the best. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Many thanks for your feedback, really appreciated!

Regarding touchscreen: Where exactly did you have problems? On the bottom of the screen when e.g. applying superuser rights you cannot click the small button? That might be caused because the PIE trigger area is too high and the framework handles it as if you were going to open the pie navigation.

If you guys can, please test the GPS as I'm not sure wether it works well or not. :)

Many thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
i installed with dataonext, for some reason /data was not mounted. not sure if it's an installer problem or initrd.gz all it said was there was 0 bytes in settings>storage, and data didn't appear in qtadb. which caused very random errors (first time setup many times, apps not installing...)

i will reinstall tomorrow and test, after some BIG SCARY exams.

now i gotta sleep, else it would be 5 hours of sleep for me :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -pixelfreak-:
yes i say it. the small mistakes is only fine-tuning. i have see you have insert the DSP-Manager and you have no Musik Player insert in this rom.

[MENTION=3907492]gilbert32[/MENTION] i think the problem is a missing data folder.

this is write in the updater.script: package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

and the rom have no data folder in the structure.

best regards

[HD2 Android NAND Development] bzhmobile:
the same for me (clk dataonext) As Gilbert32...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Suhaib10:
AMAZING!!!

My feedback. (NATIVESD)

really smooth rom

on 1st boot during setup USB mass storage came up for some reason ( just kept pressing back eventually it quit).

a bug with superuser some reason i have to click slightly above the allow button( probably due to hybrid settings).

Not sure if its a bug but does anyone know how to hide the status bar on the lockscreen in tablet mode( because you can still go to setings and other options from it).

HALO and most other stuff works perfectly.

Other than that AMAZING

Thanks

p.s. anyway to have regular mass usb storage like the one in regular roms
[HD2 Android NAND Development] eliaskammas:
Hey NxStep, great work, thank you very very much...I have been waiting for a PA Rom...I have to report something by the way...I have a Tmous HD2 and tried to install it to nand...my bootloader is clk...I've tried several partition layouts from 200 to 400 but it does not boot...goes to htc logo and reboots...not even to bootanimation...tried with data on ext and works but slow(I guess is because of my sd card)

Again thank you very much for this rom...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Thank you for the feedbacks guys!

Yep that's what I was afraid of. I simply could not get GPS to work no matter how I tried. I will pm you Pixelfreak later if that's okay. :)

If there is a lockscreen pattern or pin enabled, you cannot pass the lockscreen from the status bar. Anyway I think there is no option to disable the navbar as there is no separate lockscreen app in hybrid settings.

As for the issue with superuser, try setting the pie trigger area to small as it covers a part of the screen.

I tried to port the USB mass storage natively but it gave me FCs so for now the best way is the included app. Highest priority is GPS now but after that I will give it a look again. :)

I haven't tested it on clk but tomorrow I will have some more time and will test it definitely. Thanks for your patience! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nitro_123:
THIS IS AMAZING MATE

I've been waiting for a long time for this

many many thanks for porting this over :D

Keep the amazing work up :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
i can confirm nand only install didn't wotk fo me too.

apparently after installing. i reran the install and it showed the same free space as before setup. my guess is that it didn't install from the first time.

so i couldn't boot on nand (clk too, eu hd2, reboots after boot too). NativeSD works. nice rom
[HD2 Android NAND Development] coolsid8:
Awesome rom. Becomes really smooth after settling down. No major issues so far !!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Thanks for the feedback! I will have some time tomorrow and will test the ROM with clk thoroughly.

Where did the installer show the same free space? System or data partition?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
both :D

edit: system partition was 300mb, data about 94mb.

system free was 30M with last rom and data free 93 mb

after flashing, it would reboot without showing anything after kernel.

second time when i came to flash, the same amount of free space was shown in aroma installer
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
Just installed, don't seem to have superuser permissions... Do others?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] derschnelle:
I installed via native SD, everything working well so far. Maybe its the native sd, but it seems a bit laggy, especially when typing and scrolling.

Thanks for your great work!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kajoe:
Hi NxStep

Did you allready managed it to get GPS to work?

Can someone let me know if this rom is like other 4.2.2 roms a battery drainer?

I went back to boxmax 3.5 rom after using several 4.2 roms, because battery was empty in less than 1 day. With boxmax 3.5 rom I can use battery allmost 2 days with same programs and settings.

Thank you very much. Kajoe
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jurgen99:
Guys i need help please.After installed the rom (NativeSD) with 4EXTrecovery,i reboot,and it's stuck on the nexus Logo

For partition i used a 8GB Sony Class10 UHS

FAT32 Primary 5,05GB

EXT4 Primary 2,11GB

Why?Please help me,because i'm very curious for testing HALO.

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kajoe:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] gasanpride:
Download Supersu from playstore. Encountered the same.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
Something went wrong with installer (native sd)

No superuser app and now that I look there is no folder within NativeSD folder with kernel etc and the folder which held the zip file has been deleted...

Edit: installed super su manually and I get message binaries need to be updated (update fails)

Have constructed folders within NativeSD folder but NativeSD app also fails to run

Edit finally all working, needed to flash full super su zip not just install app
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
The first boot takes some time up to 5 mins depending on SD card etc.

It works fine for me. But try deleting the mass storage app (system/vendor/app) from the zip before install.

Are you sure you have enough free space on ext4?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
Yes plenty of free space I have large ext4 partition...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Yes I think the problem is because of the USB mass storage app although it worked for me well. Please remove it from the ROM zip file, and reinstall it. You can try it without wiping data, but with wiping dalvik cache.

Meanwhile, I tested both cLK and Magldr NAND installation and it seems to be broken in both cases. I'm planning to roll out a build today or tomorrow with some new features ported from CM, I will try to fix the initrd as well. Just a small heads-up guys, thanks for your patience and bug reporting, it is really encouraging! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gilbert32:
Thanks For YOU and devs like you who keep giving rebirth to the HD2! :good::highfive:

i wish i knew how to compile roms from source etc.... but i'm a bit lazy and compiling seems disturbing to me.

oh btw, i saw a 4.3 leak on S4 forums... hope when it's open source devs compile it for HD2, or someone ports that already ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
New build is up!

Still no success with GPS...

I will try to replace the camera app with the 4.1.2 one to make camcorder work.

Time to sleep now though. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jurgen99:
Thanks very much for your rom!

Now i test always on my HD2 all on NAND but it's not work,and i using a HTC HD2 European (non t-mobile)

I wrong?I select Data on EXT?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Hey,

I flashed that thing and it's bootlooping, I attached a logcat, notice that it's repeating and you can just look at the last part.

It's interesting, I got a similar logcat when I tried to "port" PA from other devices (but tytung's CM10.1 ROM worked fine)... Maybe I should format the ext partition?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Did you guys flash the latest V1.1 or 1.0a?

Magldr or clk?

I tested the latest build (1.1) on magldr nand and nativesd and everything worked fine for me. (with 300 mb system partition)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Oh, sorry.

Magldr, 1.1, NativeSD, about 400MB was remaining on the partition (using Xylo's PAC for now, takes some space), so it should be enough.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
I do not really know what causes the problems then. I use the exact same version, I promise. :D

My config: magldr, 300mb system, koktas' latest Extended TWRP 2.5.0.5, class6 16GB Kingston card, 2GB ext4.

Works well on NAND and NaviveSD as well. :confused:

You might try to redownload the file, maybe it's corrupted.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Oh, so there's a small suggestion from me: use a checksum tool to get SHA-1/MD5/CRC32 (whatever you prefer, mostly SHA-1 and MD5 are used) hashes to check if the file has been downloaded correctly.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

test the instal with recovery from munjeni

i have test my first 4.2.2 rom with TWRP and have problems and with Touch Recovery beta 8 i have no problem.

i hope this help you

pixelfreak
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Oh, thanks!

I used TWRP and if that's the problem...

Well, I'd love to use that recovery, but it's not available for nativeSD... I'll try other recoveries tomorrow.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

i work only with HD2 Tool, Mini Tool Partition Wizzard for my phone and sd card and for the CWM i work only with the Touch beta 8. i test all my roms with MAGLDR, CLK, NAND, DATA2EXT and nativeSD and all works perfekt.

install MAGLDR with the system and cache for this rom with HD2 Tool and you have automatically the CWM Touch

search thats you have the exact patitions on your sd card and install the rom vie Touch CWM

this is only a test with other CWM !!!!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Kuzibri created a nice Q/A/Discussion thread for the ROM, make sure you check it out here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43139747

General guidelines described in the Q/A/D thread. Though I haven't had problems with out-of-topic post in the dev thread yet, so just keep it up guys! ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Installed it through MIUI rec (couldn't get CWR touch to work), it's working well now. Except GPS, of course (logcat doesn't tell me much about it unfortunately :( no errors pointing to libs or anything).

I wonder if it would be very hard to change the PIE search button into a power button. I can't use the physical power button for obvious reasons.

It's nice and fast and when I find out how to make a software power button somewhere, I will move finally from Xylo's PAC.

Also, do you know if you can access Quick Settings from status bar in Phablet Mode?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
I'm glad you managed to install it successfully! :)

I will take a look at the search button replacement, nice idea. It came into my mind once as well as I do not use search either so it would come handy. If you have time you can decompile the SystemUI.apk and create a mod, like there is one for tytung's cm rom, I would put it in the OP. :)

Regarding phable quick settings: quick pull down works for me but indeed no button or swipe method to switch. Not sure if it's a bug or feature...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
I'll be tinkering with SystemUI.apk tomorrow - for now I can see that it will need to be decompiled; there's a chance that I might find something. Maybe I will learn something about java or xmls in the way.

What's weird for me, I can't find the creators of PIE or whoever is managing this project now. I'd ask them since they should know better than that guy who wanted to reverse-engineer their things, but it seems impossible.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] partho roy chowdhury:
I am new to the HALO feature on PA. Could you give me a step by step. I installed on NativeSD. It works smoothly as of now. I have not tested it thoroughly, but swiping through screens, opening & closing apps work smoothly.

I could not find how to start HALO. I am really interested .

Partho
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Creator is the PA team, here is the original thread: [link]

But I don't think you will get an answer soon (or any...), they seem a little bit inactive now. You can take a look at the mod for tytung's rom though: [link]

The PA team has just published a little how-to on their G+ page: [link]

Here is a video review a well: [link]

Hope it helps, make sure to check out the other G+ posts on their page. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dhruna:
Hi NxStep,

i wanted to install 1.0a, is that version was based on 4.1.2 and everything is working?

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] partho roy chowdhury:
Right. Got it. Using HALO now.

There is also an add-on application of Halo named "HALO)))" in the Google Play Store. With this Halo can be used as a launcher

for your favourite apps. Brilliant.

Thanks.

Partho.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] eliaskammas:
No my friend...It was the first release of this one.

Read the changelog in the first page and you will see!

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Hey NxStep! Me again! :) have been using your rom on and since 1.1!! Excellent!!

Ok i have notisted an issue that i would like tou tell you about...pinch to zoom(zooming with two fingers) In browser, gallery etc

Is not working properly for me...don't know if is just for me...can someone else report if its ok for their devices?

Also the 720p patch works great!

I have a tmous with clk, system partition 300MB, all nand installation

Again thank you alot for this rom!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
nice.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
I have installed on nativesd via CWM hd2 tmous..

rom wont boot :(

boot animation keeps animating for long time e.i 10min i waited
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
Try another recovery brother! I know for sure that TWRP doesn't work with it, but I succeeded with MIUI recovery! I don't remember where I downloaded it, but I'm pretty sure this one is the same.

I also noticed that while it's impossible (without access to the source code at least) to modify the search button into the power button, you can add a "go to sleep" icon to the Quick Settings. And in the phablet mode at least, if you slide your finger like you'd want the notification area, but from the far right (from the WiFi icon or futher), the QS show up! You don't need the QS button in the notification area. Magic!

I'll also give GPS a try. It's the last feature keeping me from moving on!

[Edit]

Also Paranoid Preferences backup tool seems to be broken for me. Does it work for you maybe?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
I use koktas' extended TWRP and it works for me.

PAprefs backup seems to be broken indeed so as for now make sure you back it up manually from system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf file.

I will have time to build again in the weekend and I will continue working on try to fix GPS and take a look on the backup tool too.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
Hi, Thank you for the reply. But i am scared to flash a new recovery again.

Could you please make it working for CWM as most of the XDA HD2 crowd uses CWM ?

thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] macs18max:
it is difficult for developer to satisfy all, You are most may be using CWM but there are variant of cwm recovery and some aren't compatible.

[MENTION=4901065]NxStep[/MENTION] Hey sorry I didn't have time to test your ROM. but just now I installed. Seems good, congratulations. Will test.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
You don't have to flash another recovery, just get a NativeSD version of the recovery and run in from SD, assuming you're running magldr or WinMo.

To make it working for CWM first he'd have to know why it's not working and since it might take lots of time it might be just easier to tell users to install something else.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
hey peace everybody! :)

I have a Android ROM installed in NAND and mutiple NativeSD ROMS in SD card.

I flashed all those nativeSD roms using the same CWM i flashed this PARANOID ROM, thats why i have no idea why this ROM isn't working. :confused: It flashed fine. no issues on that. When it boots it stuck at Boot animation and never proceeds.. So i think we cant blame CWM on this case.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
I'd still recommend trying another recovery from SD (no need to flash another one on NAND!) because I had the same issue and changing the recovery helped.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
No problems at all, unfortunately I'm really busy too. I'll catch up a little bit in the weekend hopefully. :)

Can you please attach a logcat? That might bring us closer to the problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
Hi here's the Logcat i took, thank you for the help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5843413/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Spaqin:
You might want to notice that your logcat is the same as mine was when I had a bootloop. You might also want to know that my bootloop was solved by flashing the ROM through another recovery, in my case - MIUI Rec.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
hey i didn saw that, thanks for the response, I will check with another recovery then.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] harshadura:
Hi Finally i got it working under koktas' extended TWRP. Thanks for the hint! :cowboy: (after trying with CWM, 4EXTrecovery are not working)

Amazing ROM, kudos NxStep!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NxStep:
Thanks for the log and the compliment! I'm glad you managed to install it! :) Your life will be much better and easier with TWRP, you will see! :D

I think the problem might be a derp or typo or something similar in the installer script which could be handled by TWRP but not by CWM (or 4ext which is based on cwm). I will give it look!
