[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Shouldn't be necessary. Just flash PAC. Let me know if there's an issue.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
Ok I am have a really strange issue to make a long story short I was having some problems I thought were my fault so I flashed back to the rom I was using untill I was able to download a newer nightly. I tried to install the 26 and basicly I can install witohut any issues but I can reboot. Ever. Oncce I flash if I power down for any reason when I try and book my phone just locks on the bootloader unlocked warning bootscreen. And since the isssue started I can't do anything to make it stop. I have tried flashing cm then the 26 nightly, cm then 17 then upgrading to 26, formating system and starting from 17 then going to 26, starting from 26, and even the 17 is doing it now it happened once or twice when I first downloaded the 17 but now its 100% of the time. It was never a dirty flash I'm just describing things I have tried most of the time not only did I do a full wipe but even the full /data/ repartition that nukes internal storage content too.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] idimitro:
I had the same issue with the 08.18 version. After. Flash it worked almost ok but when I restarted it was freezing on the boot logo. I had to restore a TWRP backup of the whole system to make it work again.

After that I decided to dive the PACman more time to mature :cool:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hm, that is unfortunate, but I understand your stance.

Do you have issues with any other 4.3 ROM's? Especially CM-10.2, which this ROM is based heavily on.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
I have not used any other 4.3 rom my last rom was a a port of cm 4.2.2 I realised what's happening pac is corrupting my /data/ partition I was trying anything I could via twrp to make it work and I tried fix permissions and it told me it could not mount anything related to /data/ the only way to get anything to work was to format, not wipe but the total format that nukes stuff in storage too, /data/ and reflash my old rom.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
What recovery are you using? Have logs?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Hendrik212:
The rom works great for me, it's stable and fast.

I've only one question concerning lockscreen options.

In CM 10.2 I could check "Minimize Lockscreen Challenge" and "Enable longpress unlock", but the second option is missing in the PAC rom:

Is this intended? I read somewhere that it could be connected to the Phablet UI Mode, some options get disabled when switched to Phablet mode. But I'm also missing the "Enable longpress unlock" option when set to phone UI mode.

Are these options stored somewhere in an xml file that I can maybe enable the longpress unlock there as a workaround?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Interesting... I think it wasn't intentional, but more of a "whoops we missed that one".

I'll talk to the PAC team and see about getting it implemented. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
I dont have logs I havent ever saved them and and am not positive how my recovery is twrp 2.5.0.0
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] idimitro:
I also used TWRP 2.5.0.0. No logs saved. The other interesting thing I noticed during the PACKman installation was the total lack of output in the console window. Other ROMs and gapps for 4.3 output is visible.

I haven't tried other ROMs as I am reading that the CM10.2 is having bad battery life and I can not afford it to get any worse that it is now with the stable Carbon.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
I cant use carbon when i tried last any time any game i opened almost instantly froze my phone and the main reason i am so excited about pac is some of the paranoid features in carbon like the pie menu when i had pac working it had good battery life though about 1.5 percent an hour idle
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Hendrik212:
Thanks, if you have news about it, let me know...

I know it's a minor thing...but as this rom combines the best of 3 roms, it would be nice to see it getting implemented :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] idimitro:
I decided to give the PACman one more chance. This time I deleted the data partition as well and there were no problems with closing applications or with the restart. The phone was hot while charging though. Maybe I will have to play a bit this ROM during the weekend :fingers-crossed:

BTW the latest GSM build is 08.26, but there are logs from the next 3 days. Is this problem with the build or am I blind?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Unfortunately you are not blind... PAC has not build for any devices in the last few days...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
You know the both of us having the same recovery and same problem could twrp or at least 2.5.0.0 be the problem? I tried a cm 10.2 rom because of you asking and got the same results as pac so i am going when i can to try another recovery. Would you recoment clockwork or the q specific one that uses qwerty?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Why aren't you on the latest TWRP? 2.6.

Other than that, not sure. I no longer have my Q.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
The latest twrp is 2.6. Open Recovery fits our qwerty. You should try it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
No PC right now to flash an img and I cant get it to work via terminal every time I try I get error: -1
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] j_rivers:
Can I use the rom for gsm ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yes, there are two separate downloads... One for GSM, one for CDMA. Please read the OP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
So aside from screwing my phone over by accident (unrelated user error) it seems I was right since using the clockwork app to flash clockwork recovery I have not had the issues that I and the other guy who said he had twrp 2.5.0.0 were having flashing 4.3 based roms
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
bawk bawk

So...I flashed the new 20130901 and was playing in settings and tried to select gingerbread signal bar and systemUI crashed...over...and over...and over. I tried to reflash 20130901; still crashed repeatedly. I then flashed 20130826; same story. I cleared dalvik and partition every time. I had no navigation bar or status bar so I eventually nandroided back to CM. Tyler has some explainin to do.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] spyderkoz:
Flashed last night after another rom crashed loving it, just saying thank you
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
lol.

When you say cleared dalvik and partition - this is how you should wipe.

Format system (not always required, but a GOOD idea before flashing).

Factory Reset (wipe data/dalvik/cache/dalvik-cache)

Flash ROM

Flash GAPPS

Profit

Did you do this? If no, then you are dirty flashing and potentially introducing issues from previous ROM's.

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
So no word on why system broke?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I responded to your post... I asked you a few in my response.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
Ok so far I've clean and dirty flashed and still the same thing. Not always when I change the signal status but when I'm in settings 80% of the time systemUI crashes and never recovers.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Just going into settings causes the systemUI to crash?

Do you have a logcat?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
I've never read how to do a logcat, so I don't know how...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 4runneradam:
Stupid question maybe, but I'm still on Android 4.0.4. I have CWM 6.0.1.3. Can I flash this rom? If not, do I have to go to stock 4.3 and then flash?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 4runneradam:
I got antsy and installed anyways :)

It worked, but there are some major bugs. Upon first boot, trebuchet crashed. No home screen. 3 buttons on front but cant access app drawer. I can pull the notification bar down and access settings.

Where do I go from here?

I also could not flash gapps. Said installation aborted.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Mordannon:
Well there is no stock 4.3 but as i recall this rom is based on the CM 10.2 rom. That one specifically says that it uses many base components from the stock JB rom so you need to flash that first then flash this rom. Hopefully you have a backup you can roll back to but if not you can download the stock JB rom and flash that with RSD Lite or whatever your preferred method.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
So i dont make many calls so I did not notice this straight away, but i have no earpice audio i can only hear and be heard when my phone is on speakerphone. I had this problem on the last build before the 9/1 and i am having it on 9/1 as well. I did not dirty flash when i first installed pac I did upgrade and wipe dalvik/cache when i moved to 9/1. Is there anything but a wipe and fresh install that might fix it? I did not have this issue when I first installed pac when i was on twrp before i realised twrp was causing my problems I was having before.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Either with a logcat app, or using adb...

If you've ever used adb before, by far the easiest way to take logs (IMHO... I prefer it to apps).

adb logcat -v time -d > logcat.txt

Will create a logcat.txt file with your logcat, timestamped.

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

Will create a dmesg.txt file, with your kernel logging information.

There's a few apps on the Play Store that do the same trick, if you prefer that method. CatLog, aLogCat, LogCat Extreme, there's like a thousand more I'm sure.

Basically recreate the issue, and try to pull logs as quickly as you can after recreating the problem.

Hm, not sure to be honest.. That's a strange issue. Anyone else having earpiece problems?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] solitarywarrior1:
I had that happen after a clean flash. I wiped /system in recovery and did a factory reset. Then reflashed and everything was fine.

Sent from my Photon Q
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 4runneradam:
OK So I RSD'd back to stock 4.1. Worked great. Flashed this and GAPPS. Now its stuck on the boot screen animaton "insert coin" "game over" over and over

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

I got it to boot, but now same problem as before (trebuchet crashes, no home screen/appdrawer)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Perhaps just try CM10.2? If that works for you, then perhaps there is an issue with PAC...

If you have issues with CM, maybe something is wrong in the process/something corrupt, etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 4runneradam:
Installed 10.2 and it works great. I'll stick to that. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kolmeck:
Do you still happen to have that APN backup? I'm on Ting as well and facing the same issues with my data on CM-based roms
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] antonyfirst:
Hey guys, I'd like to try PAC-man after having got acquainted to CM10.2.

As of today, are there any problems with PAC (but not present in CM10.2) that I should be aware of?

Thank you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] spyderkoz:
The only thing I have a problem is the camera gives me a blank screen, but after a reboot all is good.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] antonyfirst:
Hi, I have finally installed PAC-man. I am quite liking it, but I have noticed a couple of things, and I don't know where to change configurations.

When I use PAC-man, compared to CM10.2, the animations when switching between apps are slightly different and a bit slower. Is there a way to change that default animation?

I am using Apex Launcher, but if I switch to ADW launcher, it doesn't change things. When using either launcher on CM10.2, I don't have those slower and more sofisticated animations.

Second thing is, if I swipe quickly down to top, at the navigation bar area, I get a force-close on the navbar, which disappears for a few seconds and then appears again. I guess it's working like an action on the navbar (similarly as on Carbon), but I cannot find the configuration option that triggers the force-close.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!

PAC is waiting to merge the animation options.

This is odd, others do not seem to have a problem installing this ROM. I assume it was the most recent nightly? Have you tried any other nightlies? How 'bout other ROM's?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] il Duce:
They're probably not using twrp. There latest binaries have more error checking than others. It was the most recent nightly. I flashed cm and it was fine. Maybe diff the scripts?

Problems with "appbar"

Folks,

I am having problems with the appbar - it is working just after booting the phone, but after some time of phone usage I cannot start my appbar by wiping from the side of the display any more. Then I have to go to appbar settings, reset the trigger width (i.e. to 30px), and after that the appbar can be started from the display as it is supposed to...but again after some time this is not possbile any more...

anyone having the same problem? any ideas how to solve it?

I am on today's build with the latest arrrghhh's kernel...

A few Questions

Okay so I am on carbon 4.2.2 right now. I am about to flash this but first can someone please answer these questions:

Does Hardware Acceeration Work?

Does Chrome Work?

If you go into a game (temple run for example), Does it crash?

Thanks so much for your help.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] alexwoellhaf:
Alrigh, I have had this rom on my phone just over 24 hours now:

HA works

Chrome Works

No Crashes

Issues I have found:

Sometimes the apps on the home screen wont display and you have to click the app launcher circle thing then the home button to properly see the home screen

When an ap asks for root and the SU prompt comes up when you click accept it will send you back to settings rather than to the app that asks for root

Not sure how to change weather settings for weather widget under clock

Notes:

Roam Control Works

Great UI

Best battery life of any custom rom

Thanks to all developers
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hey, thanks for the thoughtful response. Sorry I didn't respond before, I don't really game much and felt I couldn't answer all of your questions ;).

As for the redraw issues, are you using the stock launcher (Trebuchet?) I am, and don't really experience many redraw issues.

The SU issue is odd, I just tested with ES File Explorer (didn't have 'root explorer' enabled) and this worked as expected. Maybe you had the settings app open? Hum. It happens every time?

The weather settings are a bit annoying. It's tied to the cLock application, which I don't see how to change its settings - unless you go to another desktop, add the cLock widget to another desktop. When you add the widget, it should give you options - configure it as you wish. Remove it off this second desktop, and the main one should reflect the settings change. You can probably remove & readd the widget too... Annoying, not sure why this is - I think it's an issue with cLock, but I'm not positive.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] alexwoellhaf:
Thanks For The Reply,

I am using the launcher included in the rom (Trebuchet)

Here is a link with my issue

Video Here

As for the SU request, I dont really mind it. Just throwing it out there

I will try what you recommended for the weather widget issue.

I am currently on nightly: 10/16/13 and I will flash latest nightly and give it another try.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] alexwoellhaf:
Sorry about the delay of a follow up post I am hoping to flash latest nightly and post back today but I have been really busy.

WiFi-Problem

Hello,

i am expiriencing a strange wifi-problem.

Most times i leave home the wifi-connections seems to be still online but without any reception.

I have to turn off / on wifi to make it realize its not connected anymore.

Furthermore when driving to work, the phone does not connect to the ap there automatically. i have to switch wifi off and on again, sometimes i even have to reboot the phone. The networks are found in the scan but the connect silently fails without any authentication or dhcp-action. The status-description (WPA/WPA2-protected f.e. under the network-name in the list) just disappeares.

I noticed that deleting the wpa-supplicant-related files in /data/misc/wifi (??) and turning wifi off and on again fixes this problem.

Also i get random reboots, once every one or two days.

Is someone experiencing same issues?

Kind regards, Stephan
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] alexwoellhaf:
Sorry for the late reply,

I don't have any of these issues and my nightly is 2 weeks old.

I plan to flash the newest nightly really soon but I have been really busy.

I would recommend that you flash latest nightly. (instructions in OP)

I will keep a note of these issues though.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] turkbot:
Could you mirror the link for the release please
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Edit - nvm, what do you mean release? These are nightlies... Haven't done a release yet ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] alexwoellhaf:
Just installed the 11/2/13 nightly (latest) and dont seam to have any issues with anything. More time is needed to process rom.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
I'm using it too and I can't see any major bug.

There are some glitches, but all are minor, say the colorize option on the navbar customizzation menu.

Wifi during phonecalls

Hello,

is there a reason why my wifi is not working during phone calls?

The wifi does not disconnect, but i can't see any data coming trough.

Are there any switches or files where i can set parameters?

Kind regards,

Stephan
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Works great here. What version are you on? xt897? xt897c? What date? Have you tried to make any changes?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sub205:
I'm using 2013-12-05, xt897 (gsm+umts)

I already tested the generic wifi settings (keep active during standby, optimize power level) but does not matter.

I only realize it during longer phone calls while my opposite cannot send me f.e. pictures via whatsapp simultaneous.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yea, I use wifi during phone calls all the time...

I see data flowing & all. You are clean flashing?

Have you tried any other custom ROM's? Specifically CM10.2, curious if you have the same issue there?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
Well done!!

Many thx for this ROM!!!

This fixes so many bugs in my phone:

Since one month the PC connection via USB didn't work anymore (file system & ADB driver): fixed

After reboot the time is always set to January 2007: fixed

High battery drink, in idle mode. The battery is empty after 12 hours: fixed

At this moment I'm not really sure, but it seems that LTE is working also here in germany??

One of the best results is that my second XT897 is also working again. I’ve tried the great SIM-Card MOD from CornholioGSM everything is working fine, but as newbies always do: After playing around it seems that I had set the wrong frequencies and the phone did not except a second change. So no connection to my provider was possible. I’ve bought another XT897 and did this mod again. In this ROM the change to the german frequencies are exepted and everything is working fine again!!

But that is not all. I have tried some other ROM's but this one is exactly what I need. Everything is working quite well. There are only some minor issues.

Btw I'm still a newbie so I must ask: If you release a new nightly version and I want to install this, need I always to make a wipe of data and do a factory reset? If yes, is the actual version close to the planned final version?

Thanks again for your work!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Glad it fixed most of your issues.

As for the clean flash question, it's not *always* required - I have gone from nightly to nightly without clean flashing for quite some time. All I can say is, if you start having weird issues - you might need to clean flash (like apps/Android FC's, force closing, on you a lot).

Final version? It's never finished :p. Besides, PAC is working diligently on 4.4.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hijkl:
Sorry, but what kind of 'frequencies' did you change?

Gesendet von meinem XT897 mit Tapatalk
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
In the sock Rom I tried the hidden menu with #*#*4636*#*#. Here is the possibility to set the frequencies to US. But it seems that you cann't undo this action. With the PAC-man Rom you can change this back to the european!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
May someone can help. After installing und configurating all apps I tried to backup the system with TWRP 2.4.4.0. But here is an incridible high DATA usage (79266MB). It would be nice to have so many internal storage, but I thing here are some (or one) files not ok. While trying zo backup the massage is shown: Not enough free space on storage.

Any ideas to find this file or to solve this problem?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You have a xt897?

Why aren't you using a newer version of TWRP?

I assume you're on PAC... do you have any other backups you can restore?

I'd say your best bet is to wipe the thing clean and start over. Backup what you require with Titanium or the like...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
It is a xt897

I will try an update

Yes I'm on PAC and no there is no other backup witch would be useful

I'm not firm in the use of Titanium or others. Most times I have used TWRP.

But now the time has come to try this. (I spend many many time to configure the system :crying:)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Techman666:
I flashed this rom a week ago, updated it a couple of times - but i have one problem.

A couple of times a day my phone freezes after unlocking - usually when i pull the notification bar - it freezes for like 10 seconds, after that it stops showing my wallpaper (there is a black screen with my icons and widgets on it), after that it shows my wallpaper but no icons, and after that it goes to a locked screen, and after an unlock it works fine - this happens randomly a couple of times each day - and to be honest is quite annoying.

I thought that this is a launcher problem so i installed Smart Launcher - but the same thing happened.

I tried re flashing, clearing cache but the problem still remains.

PS. the same happens when I delete my widgets and everything - thought that one of the widgets does this.

Please help !

EDIT: Now it crashed instead of displaying the lock screen - it frozen, then all the icons disappeared, then the wallpaper disappeared and the only thing left was the clock and battery on the status bar with a black screen... had to hard reset it...

EDIT2: Additionally from the moment i flashed this rom my phone started to reboot randomly about once/ twice a day...

Edit3: I did not change any settings in the status bar, or anything else apart from adding a wifi network
