Note 3 Dialer problems

I have a problem with the dialer, but this was my first time flashing a ROM and I'm not sure whether the dialer was part of this package or the Cyanogen ROM.

I can initiate a call fine. But once the call is going, the screen goes black and I can't do anything with the dialer. I have to place the phone flat on a bench to even be able to get a screen to come up - it stays black otherwise, so it isn't using the proximity sensor. Even when I have the screen up, I can't input further numbers, hang up, anything.

Who'd think you use a phone for making phone calls? But I do need to sometimes, so this is pretty annoying.

The install was on a clean phone, with cache and Dalvik wiped too.

Thanks.

Full modular pack

Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
Update to a nightly and see if it helps. If not, problem might be hardware related... You will essentially have to disassemble your device to clean the proximity sensor.

Guys, I really know this is not a package issue, but a Google Camera problem...

When shooting pictures at night inside a place that doesn't have so much light, but, at the same time, it's not a dark place, the images are so dark.

Isn't any kind of night mode (even if it's a mod) to the Google Camera to correct this?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Gungahlin Al:
Dialer not working

Thanks for your thoughts on this. The proximity sensor and making calls worked perfectly prior to flashing the ROM.

If I change to a nightly, that means I have to do another clean install right? Rebuild everything from scratch again? (Sigh...lots of apps, hours of work...)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
you shouldn't need to do a clean install.

M8 is just a nightly but older that the latest nightly... you should be able to just flash the rom and upgrade.

I understand that your proximity sensor worked fined before... but if the proximity sensor is just on his detection edge, maybe the rom that you are using does not have the same threshold compared to the stock rom.

you can get more information on the proximity sensor problem here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2568003

I had to disassemble my "old" Note 3 to clean the sensor...

before cleaning, I had all sort of problems with the stock rom. Cleaning it fixed everything.

Today I flashed the latest (at the time of posting) Gapps Micro Modular package.

Not because I have a legacy device; my Note 2 is just over a year old now.

Just not a big user of Google products.

Promptly proceeded remove everything within said package except for Google Play Store/Services even before rebooting.

(I'm not in a stable enough job to warrant Calendar, I use a different Gmail provider, I use Nova launcher,

I do Google Searches through a 3rd party browser and you can get out of my face with the Pico/Google TtS bull.)

Once booted up, I installed Lucky Patcher and, subsequently, installed their multi-dpi variant of the Play Store.

I'm not entirely sure why I used this package in the first place.

In any case, 10/10, would flash/install again. Great dev support and solid performance throughout.

Would recommend to both friends and family.

Cheers all round.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sambastrakan:
Hi,

Well, I'd like to understand better the changes on kitkat gapps (I installed the micro one):

I use firefox, a 3rd party email client, and a 3rd party calendar, 3rd party launcher. So, I'd like to delete gmail, browser, and calendar. I'd like also to delete the launcher and velvet and tts, etc. as I don't use them.

But if I do that, I loose the sync function (and there are a lot of google errors in logcat).

So I'd like to know if there is a way to do that. Getting back GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter for example.

I also see in priv-app: PrebuiltGmsCore. I received an update of google service and put it in /system/app. But, is it the same thing than PrebuiltGmsCore ??

Thanks !

Hello, hi, since I have not been able to make use of the gapps-remover (I believe it's because I am using BMM), I have tried to repack gapps in the way I wanted.

I hope it's not a dumb question, but it's mainly a curiosity...

I always hated to dirty flash ROMs, but my actual lack of time ia forcing me to dirty flash lately.

If I decide to dirty flash Stock Package (just to try to force the Nexus 5 Gallery version) alongside the ROM latest build, all my personal settings from Google Apps will be lost or not?

I mean downloaded books, movies, personalized apps' configuration..

Edit: All my apps are already updated from Play Store. The unique reason I would dirty flash Stock Package is to force the Nexus 5 Gallery version, just this.

PA GApps Update Announcement

PA GAPPS - AUGUST 25 UPDATE

AUGUST 25, 2014 - 20140825

Chrome Beta updated to v37.0.2062.94 [Chrome Beta Addon]

It's actually a good thing that Google didn't do much in the way of updates this week. After another busy week, I lost a hard drive and spent the weekend rebuilding my desktop system. Nothing was lost, except time, as my data is backed up regularly.

I'm not going to update the date in the OP title as there were no GApps updated this week. Unfortunately, this will likely lead to "Where's this week's GApps update?" questions. However, I thought that would be preferable to the "How come I can't find the latest GApps?" questions if I had updated the date.

To summarize, other than Chrome Beta, Google released no new application updates this week, so the 0818 GApps are current as of this writing. If things lighten up this week, I hope to resume work on finalizing the new GApps packages.

Hi [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION],

I just created an aroma based package of pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20140818-signed.zip

Benefit : There are few apps that user wants to install but it is not included in micro package, rather it is included in mini package. Now It occurs sometimes that user doesn't wants to install all the apps from mini package (micro packages suffice the need with missing one or two apps). This is where user can use aroma based gapps in which user can choose which apps to be installed and which to skip.

I can also build the same for other packages. (like Full package, mini package and so on).

Do I have your permission to do that and release? :)

Users are free to give it a try. :)

I have flashed Google Camera addon, is there any way to remove it?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
all described in the FAQ I think...

you have to wipe system, reflash rom and reflash GApps that does not include the Google Camera (or add the corresponding file to prevent the installation).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SleemLDJ:
Mini modular works fine on cm11 nightly. Thank you.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] linux-void:
when you flash rom, it a priori wipes system. so there is no need to wipe it manually. there is also no need to wipe cache because it will automatically regenerated upon boot
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
no 100% true for system...

if you only flash rom, without wiping first, the system/addon.d scripts will be kept... and all GApps packages will be kept they way they were installed before. So that means that if one of your GApps package was removing one of the rom's apk, the same apk will also be removed after flashing your rom without wiping system first.

You could also manually remove the "offending" script and reflash your rom...

For wipe cache, it helps to do it sometimes... dalvik is regenerated... not necessarily the cache partition.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Hmm. New maps rolling out. Just noticed. Didn't pay much attention due to all the News and Weather excitement. I wonder if this fixes the issues you were having bundling the new Google Plus? What exactly was the issue, anyhow? Any way I can test? Like making the updated G+ and Maps system apps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Unzip both and pull the conflicting lib file out. Hex compare to see which has the higher version string maybe (if that's possible, never looked into it). Then see if both work from /system with the latest lib in /system/lib. They weren't before. :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UncolourTV:
Finally a new version of News and Weather! It looks very good.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
To do that, I'll need more information. Such as what actually was wrong with Google Plus in the first place. And what file is actually causing the conflict? Also I haven't exactly messed with Google apps zips before, so can you please explain step-by-step? I also would need the proper APK for my device, a Nexus 5. Even though it's rolling out, I don't have access to it yet. Sure I can download it online somewhere, but I need the proper build. I'll try gappsearly.com.

Edit: No APK there. Is the APK from the XDA Portal the correct one? If not, anybody have an APK from Play on a Nexus 5?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
apks are just zips, so rename it to zip and look inside. You'll see a lib folder. Google had multiple apks with conflicting versions of the same lib. I seem to recall someone saying the app that didn't like the lib from the other would just force close. AndroidPolice should have all the new apks in fairly short order so I'd keep an eye there. :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
It's a stand-alone apk (I believe). You should be able to just extract the apk and sideload it.

It's not likely a CWM problem. Read FAQ #4 for information on finding the proper file location.

I don't have a problem as long as you 1) give proper credit where you've used our scripts and 2) You provide support elsewhere.

You could also use Micro Modular GApps and just remove all the stuff you don't want/need. Read about GApps Remover for more information.

Full GApps doesn't replace your messaging app. Stock GApps does, however. There are options available in Stock GApps to avoid removing the stock/AOSP messaging app. See the Advanced Options post for further info.

Nope. Read FAQ #6 for the proper method.

The PA team pulled Beta 3 due to multiple FC issues. It's not GApps related.

Read the advanced options to accomplish what you're trying to do.

YES! It does fix the problem as the libs are now the same! I also saw that Google updated the current date on YouTube. Assuming the conflict with YouTube is fixed in the upcoming update, we should be able to, once again, have properly updated GApps! Yippee!

EDIT: Turns out I was comparing it to the lib in the previous version of Google+ (the one currently in GApps). so this DOES NOT fix the problem after all.

As noted by someone else, your information is NOT entirely correct due to the addon.d backup scripts that are executed BEFORE the wipe. Following the steps outlined in FAQ #6 is the proper method to use.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Now that Google News & Weather is available on the Play Store, I'm thinking of removing it from the Mini and Micro GApps packages and just leaving it in the Stock and Full packages.
