I'm new to PACMan but i've used PA before.

I couldn't find the per app dpi settings anywhere and not even the Different UI Modes .

Moreover, When i flashed the rom with the fix the sound output was horrifying.

AdAway + ViperFX fixed the in call quality.

While, Synapse has certain preloaded gains on Speaker Equalizer which distorted the Speaker Output.

I also noticed-

-this ROM is hungry for battery.

-Nice Performance

-Camera quality is low, 13MP quality rendered 570KB file.

[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] As far as the bugs ar concerned

The ROM is flawless apart from

-Battery Drains

-Random Reboots that happen at strange occasions(Can Be Completely Ignored)

-InCall Quality Sounds(Kernel Issue, Seems like we'll have to be living with it for a while)

-I tried remapping Home key to recent apps switcher but it opens Google Now anyway

-Camera Quality

-Inverted Colors sometimes during Video Playback and gaming

-Sound Output(Fix: Synapse Gain Corrections)

-Call Log doesn't log any calls. Neither incoming nor outgoing.

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

-Wipe Data/Factory

-Install ROM

-Flash http://d-h.st/GDN right after that

-Flash Gapps and reboot system.

You'll be good to go.

[ROM][OFFICIAL][KitKat 4.4.2][i9500] PAC-man 4.4.Alpha-1 [AOSP]

<font color="Black">I'm new to PACMan but i've used PA before. <br />

I couldn't find the per app dpi settings anywhere and not even the Different UI Modes .<br />

Moreover, When i flashed the rom wit......
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] amigorox:
I used the latest ROM and it worked good .

Problems etc :

1. By default the processor has been over clocked to 2000MHz and this may cause instability in most phones so I'll recommend using ROM toolbox or set CPU or using synapse (persues kernel) to change it as it can't be changed through the system settings

2. The buttons setting is not working. I was not able to change what long press menu would do etc so I used ROM toolbox and uninstalled Google search for good. similarly titanium backup or clean master can be used

3. I don't know if that's how it has to be but in settings all the extras are under PAC pellets and there are no sliding drawers like it was in previous PAC ROMs

4. Battery life was good after changed clock speed . at the default processor settings its comparable to CM ROM

5. Video recording did give the bluish inverted color effect (toggling HW overlay didn't work)

6. OK call quality ( TW ROMs much better in this case)

7. Battery life comparable to CM ROM (on default processor settings)but I'd recommend changing it.

8. Holo glass theme didn't work flawlessly neither did transparent CM . I'll try other 'transparent ' themes ( coz that's what I like) and report .

Overall --> it's an amazing rom, and I've deleted my mokee and paranoid ROM nandroid backups and have started using this as my daily driver .

Any idea when pacfix.zip will be included in the nightlys?

Tks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] amigorox:
I don't think it matters ;

And one more glitch perhaps :

The tweaks I tick mark in the init.d functions reset on a reboot or ending the systems application. Does this mean that the tweak has been applied or do we have to tick that every time

Perseus kernel works no problems there.

No random reboots since 30 hours and very little over heating

Problems already mentioned in the previous post and this init.d functions

Flash the rom zip

Then without rebooting flash the fix zip which has been uploaded in a previous post .

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Then if u want gapps flash it or just reboot

If u had flashed gapps again wipe cache and dalvik

I used cwm version 6.0.4.7 but any version will work

Then u have to wait for 3-4 mins after the boot animation at a screen which says loading and then they will show the rebuilding of cache of different apps on the same screen and then u boot in :)

Basically all u have to do is

Flash ROM

Flash fix

Flash gapps

Wipe cache and dalvik

Reboot

Do a ROM cleanup which includes formatting cache,system, dalvik.

Then flash PAC ROM then PAC fix . now wipe user data( wiping only cache and dalvik will do)

Then reboot

If it does not then ur best bet is waiting for the next release or though it doesn't matter use a different recovery.

P.S. --> I got success with all recoveries.

@Garak

Sir even with Fix it sometimes boots sometimes not. There needs to be some actual solution to the problem, it boots 2 out of 5 times, so that we can be rest assured boot issue is no more with us. Booting into ART is not there, we get a bootloop. Hope bootloop issue is resolved permanently in next build so that everyone can enjoy your hard work as this ROM is really awesome.

One more issue is FC on applications, as already stated by few people in earlier posts. We also need to resolve this issue to make fellow members rejoice your hard work.

Don't hesitate in flashing the PAC fix twice . before and after. It will work and it takes time so be patient . give it at least 5-6 mins (by the clock)

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] joelteixeira:
So, maybe I'll wait a little longer to use it as a daily driver. Like Grarak said (2nd post) there's many others little bugs besides camera and random reboots.

Here's some of the issues I noticed:

1 - Small screen glitches when scrolling (not always).

2 - 64Gb cards seems to be unsupported.

3 - when answering a call sometimes it seems to switch to loudspeaker.

4 - Sound works but overall is somehow distorted.

That's all for now. Everything is being sorted out faster that we expected. So is just a matter of time. My huge thank you for all the hard work providing an alternative to crapwiz.
