Right

i dont had a Problem :good:
[HTC Sensation] VAHIDHAVASBEIGY:
excuse me again! you mean install another ROM without Wiping on ViperS? I am using ViperS for about 1 years, Are you sure? now i should download another ROM like Android Revolution HD for sensation and install it on my phone without performing full wipe and it can fix boot problem?
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Oh no, I thought you wanted to flash viperS. Flash the ROM you had before flashing, whichever ROM that was (but flash that specific ROM, not a different one. My advice from the previous comment was if you came from stock ROM). If you flash the same ROM you don't have to wipe, and then you can back up your phone.
[HTC Sensation] VAHIDHAVASBEIGY:
ohhh , in my first post i said ( i reinstalled Rom without wiping and again ...) i mean i did your advice , but it doesn't fix my problem... :crying:
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
I hope you can operate adb, because the solution I found requires it.

Go to recovery, and use adbto pull the contacts database with the following command:

adb pull data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db

It might give an error for a protected directory (but I don't know since it's going to be done in recovery), if that happens, use 'adb shell' and then 'su'. then exit, and you have root access to the device (do it only if required).

Once you obtained the file, it should be on your adb folder. you need to open it with a database app which supports SQLite3 (I won't reccomend anyrhing since I've never used them. but from a quick search I found a few. and searching in the context of reading android databases would give some recommendations.).

Good luck :)

p.s - It's hard for me to believe this is the simplest solution. It might work, but it's not easy. So others might give better solutions.
[HTC Sensation] VAHIDHAVASBEIGY:
tnx , if i try i can do it. i can operate adb easily . but a person said me to backup /data partition with recovery and then perform a full wipe and install viperS again then restore /data . do you have any idea abou it? can it help?
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Yes it'll help. You can try and report back the results.

[HTC Sensation] VAHIDHAVASBEIGY:
THANKS....

THANKKK YOUU . THANKK YOUU THANK YOUUUU . i restored my contacts . now i have full access to the /data partition . i made a .tar backup of it and now i have all of this but when i restore it after full wipe and fresh ROM again my problem happens , i mean the problem is from /data partition . the problem first started when i was using cracked ZDBox anyshare, and again after a full wipe and in fresh rom i installed it and when i started anyshare again the problem started , so can you help me to delete or edit sth in /data backup and restore it again ? or help me to restore my messages too?
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Messages should be about the same, but the path should be this:

data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

Again, open with an SQLite viewer and you're good. I'm not sure about this, but you can try replacing the file on your new ROM with this one. But remember to make a backup first. You can use ADB commands for this or use a root explorer.

And as for ZDBox... I didn't find anyshare, and I'm not familliar with the app. You mean the task killer?

Anyway, for this you'll need to use adb, and I'm not sure if it will work from recovery, but let's hope it will.

Use the following command:

adb uninstall com.zdworks.android.toolbox

If that doesn't work, you can use adb shell and navigate to data/app/ and delete com.zdworks.android.toolbox.apk (you need to know how to get around a linux shell for this).

Another way I found across the web is this command:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.DELETE -d package:com.zdworks.android.toolbox

Good luck.

And as for thanking, you can just press the 'Thanks' button.

Have you tried to post the "bug" in the forum of pac-man like here said:

Maybe it is fixed or someone can help you or it is a know bug ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
On JB roms and above the max. partition size for apps to be installed is decreased from 1.95GB (or 1.86 in most cases) to roughly 1.5GB (slightly smaller than that), probably to allow more space in /system for things such as system apps and so on.

When you flash back to GB, the data partitions will change again and so you'll have 1.95GB, but when you flash to JB, this will naturally decrease.

1.25GB does seem to be less than usual even for JB roms, so do ask around to other users and see if they have the same amount of storage. If they do, then you know its just how the rom is naturally.

Hello folks! Here is PACman ROM, a great mix of all the best ROM's basically.

It should build every single night, unified build works for both GSM and CDMA.

Let me know what you think!!

FAQ​

Read ALL of this before posting in this thread! Thanks.​

Q: I don't use the on-screen softkeys. How do I remove the navigation bar?

A: Go into Hybrid Properties --> Interface, under Workspace drag the slider for "Navigation Bar Size" to 0%.

Q: How do I disable the dual-pane layout that is preset in some apps (Settings, Gmail, etc.)?

A:Go into Hybrid Properties --> Apps and choose the app that you want to change. In the top right hand corner, click "Reset" and it will change the DPI and the layout of that app to the Workspace default that you have set. If your default Workspace is phablet / tablet UI but you want a specific app to not have the dual-pane layout, then go into Hybrid Properties --> Apps and set the specific app to phone UI.

Q: Some ROM Control options do not work?

A: ROM Control is still a WIP as of right now. The frameworks part of ROM Control has yet to be merged, so that's why some settings are blank. Please give some time, and it will be fixed in the near future.

ROMControl is now fixed and mostly working.

Q: Why did some of Hybrid Properties options disappear in the new update?

A: Go into Hybrid Properties --> Tools, and check Expert Mode and more settings will appear.

Q: How to I disable the PIE controls?

A: Go to Toolbars --> PIE Trigger Size and set that to none.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
I love PacMan ROM. Been using it on my Razr. It's the most complete ROM based on AOSP. Hopefully,sdcard swap storage will be added soon. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I asked about Carbon adding it, and they want to wait and see what CM does with it... if it is revised etc.

I bet PAC will have a similar attitude.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Great! This is awesome. Thanks a lot for your work,arrrghhh. We owe you so much. Will you get a Photon Q soon?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Not sure, still kinda on the fence about it to be honest. Hoping something else is announced... but nothing promising yet.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Yeah..LG Enact is the next side slider qwerty and the specs are oudated. Photon Q is the best out there. Hopefully,it won't be the last qwerty side slider. I'm dreaming of Droid 5. :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wyvern123:
Great ROM. Specially the integrated UI switcher.

For me the HDMI is not working. When I connect Lapdock 100 the phone screen rotates automatically but there is no image on lapdock screen. Is there a way to get it working?

One more thing I always missed from custom ROMs. The Motorola favorite contacts. Is it possible to port it from original JB.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I'm not sure about the contacts - you can try?

As for HDMI... does this work on stock ROM I assume? Have you tried on CM10.2?

Unfortunately, for the most part, if the bug exists on CM it will exist on the "other" CM-based ROM's. Carbon, PAC, AOKP, etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
Wow, you are a true hero... what a commitment!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Comet1966:
System UI keeps force closing, great rom before that though!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hm. Which gapps did you use? Did you factory reset? No dirty flashing...

Which build were you on? 8/23? Do you get it from doing anything in particular? I think someone else was talking about a FC when going to a certain setting...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wyvern123:
I've tried original CM10.2 and lapdock doesn't work even if the description says HDMI working fine.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
I love the rom from what little i have seen of it but i have run into a major issue for me. I dont use sprint and so i need a custom apn for data and since in most custom roms and all cm roms the ##whatever# codes dont work so the only way i know how to set the custom apn is a zip i have. This method has worked on every other rom i have tried but not this one any advice?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I think ## codes work on these ROM's, they are just #*#* commands instead if I recall correctly.

But what is the error when flashing the zip? Are you on another CDMA provider?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Comet1966:
I used the gapps that were in the thread, but I'm not sure what the last option I clicked on was.... I was on 8/23 when I made the FC, so I tried to update to 8/24 to see if it fixed it, and still a FC.

Edit: arrrghhh are you using a Samsung epic 4G?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
There is no error it flashes just fine but when I get back into the rom my connection icon says "LTE" I assume that's the same as other roms saying "4G" but when I try and use the browser the loading bar stalls it doesent even 404 out and the market won't load etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
is there any buglist ?

and how is the battery life in this builds ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
You can format the card with whichever filesystem you want. With the mentioned application FAT32 will work also.

NTFS I also wouldn't use, it's not a flash card filesystem. But if the phone supports it (I don't know), you could use that too.

RC3

anything notable on the rc3 version? i checked basketbuild and its on there now.

edit: its here for anyone else who wants it :)

http://pvyparts.com/?device=moto_msm8960

RC3 is for 4.4 bootloader only? has anyone flashed the photon q successfully using the rc3 from here? im already unlocked and rooted and have been running RC2 for a while. i did wipe cache and dalvik but not data and didnt do a factory reset.

edit: ended up just flashing nightly

What recovery are you using?

Needs to be OpenRecovery or TWRP, I don't believe CWM has been kept up-to-date.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] roopull:
I'm using TWRP... Photon Q.

I can get CM 10.1.3, but this ROM looks pretty sweet.

Guys, is this compatible with my XT897? I'm getting pretty confused, though I read it all...MSM8960jbbl or without?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yes of course this is compatible with the Photon Q. That's the section it's posted in...

Use the moto_msm8960_jbbl version.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DigitalWarS:
Thank you. Problem is that I'm getting an "Error 7" message... Do you happen to know an updated recovery for our devices?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you not see the questions I just asked above your post?

What recovery are you using? Specifically the version? Are you able to flash any KK ROM's?

There's really only 2 recoveries for our phones which are getting updates. TWRP or OpenRecovery - OR isn't getting many updates anymore, but it's stable. TWRP, some of the latest versions there were some issues. I recommend using the version I list in the thread title, 2.7.1.2.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DigitalWarS:
Hi, sorry, I've missed it....

Only rom I can flash those under 4.2 and a CM 10.2.1, nothing above seems to work as I'm getting "error 7" message.

I'll try the recovery you're suggesting, mine is pretty old....

EDIT: I can confirm it's working with the recovery you suggested, thanks a lot!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tzuba12:
What's with the nightlies lately? They are only a few kbs in size when I download them, and won't install. I'm downloading via the PAC console, and using twrp to install. Was working fine before a few weeks ago.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Try downloading from BasketBuild. I just grabbed the Jan.1 nightly, ~230mb. That new peer5 feature in BasketBuild is great too, I hit 10MB/s. Over 100mbit, great download speed!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] roopull:
The best/newest ROM I've managed to get to work is CM 10.1.3.

TWRP version 2.7.1.0

Error simply says "Flash Failed."

:confused:

My best guess is that I've gotten a ROM for the incorrect device. I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot after following the links.

Thanks for the reply & apologies for my slow one. I'm a driver for UPS... kinda' busy this time of year! HA! :silly:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] roopull:
Fairly certain I downloaded the wrong ROM... going to try a different one & get back with you.

---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

Yep...

Completely my mistake... I didn't realize that the quoted text in the original post with links had TWO different links. One for JBBL & one for later. I downloaded the wrong stuff.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Hi Guys, I've been using this ROM for a little while now & am on KK RC3 from Dec 4.

I have issues with stoppages (dialler etc), lagging & general slowness - especially when in the official car dock.

Slow/no response to screen selections, 3-5 second delays once a screen press is registered etc.

Looking for any suggestions/settings that may improve this, or I will look at going back to a simpler/faster ROM.

If you have done the same, what ROM have you found to be efficient??

Is it worth downgrading to stripped stock?

Thanks in advance, & don't take this as criticism - keep up the good work!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Clean flash, no apps installed (other than the built-in ones), still happens?

CM11 is pretty stripped down compared to PAC (unless you really want stock...)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
These are the apps I'm running - not many, & not that often.

Will try cleaning it up & see how it goes.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I noticed you mentioned slowness when in the official car dock... I remember slowness in general on the Q when charging. Never did figure it out, but that is a bit beyond my knowledge anyways...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
I'm charging right now on an old Moto 550mA charger & it is fine, but when using some chargers (HTC etc) it can lag badly.

The dock registers car mode on the phone even when the charge cable isn't plugged in - I'll test & see if it only does it when actually charging. If so, I'll try a different cig/USB adapter. I'm using the genuine adapter from the kit.

Might try my spare Q & see if it does the same in the dock - it has no extra apps installed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
What format do you guys recommend for mSD cards in the Q???

Should I just insert it & format through the storage function of the settings, or via computer, or recovery?

Asking because this ROM is black screening when I browse my pics, on mSD card - I installed a new card after my previous one failed, and just copied the files across from a backup. Didn't set any particular format beforehand.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
FAT32 is the most compatible, although you won't be able to save individual files larger than 4gb.

On the computer I suppose is "best" but I don't think it really matters.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Using ext4 with no issues except with OpenRecovery (you have to mount manually) and with encrypted phone (mSD have to be pulled out while booting).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Thanks for the responses - I was also having issues with mounting the mSD card when in TWRP, which meant I had to tx the files to the internal SD for flashing etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
adb sideload <3
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
I have to correct me a little.

While I still have to mount manually the mSD (with ext4 FS) in OpenRecovery, I don't have to pull it out when booting an encrypted phone. Instead I have to wait a minute or so without (!) StandBy the phone. The screen has to be on. After a while the password entry field appears and it boots normally.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Ok, I've formatted the card to FAT32 (it was NTFS ffs) I will see how PAC goes like this. Already able to browse pics etc without BSOD.

Thanks

How has battery life been for everyone? Versus 4.1 stock.... I'm running pacman build 2014 12 31, and the latest arrrghhh kernel for kitkat 2014 11 15

Seems a bit worse to me. I haven't benched it or anything.... just seems to drain faster in use and while idle.

I toggle 3g/wifi/bluetooth on and off as needed. Actually I'm on airplane mode with wifi for a while as I have no cell service. Does anyone have suggestions about changing app permissions?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
I'll let you know today - since formatting my 64GB sandisk to FAT32 I have not had any stoppages of dialler or evernote or other apps that I was having before - seems to have fixed a number of annoyances I was having with this ROM.

Will see if battery performance improves.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Can confirm that SD format fixed a number of faults - however I still get a dialler 'stop' from time to time.

I've been having issues with the two builds of pacman rom I've tried. I was running it on my backup photon q for months, using wifi only on airplane mode. It was rock stable and fast. I was running the 20141231 build for most of the few months, with arghhh kernel 0.19. I had to activate it in place of my primary photon q and start using it normally. Since then it randomly freezes after several hours, I have to hold power and volume down to reboot it. I tried setting the clock speed back to the stock, I was running it at 1.8GHz with no issues before. I then tried 20150128 build and have the same issue. I used RSDLite to restore a factory image to the device and it works fine. I then went through the process of rooting/unlocking my other photon Q and installed the 20141231 build on that. Same issue when running it not in airplane mode, random freezes.

I flashed arghhs kernel for stock 4.1 and overclocked to 1.8ghz and its rock stable now with cell phone network connections. Anyone else experience this?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] boxes:
I think I found the problem. I flashed the latest pac rom without arghhh kernel and the phone is stable now. Not as snappy but no issues.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yea, it's a loner... my Q is dead.

So is there anything that initiates the FC, or is it random? Can you get a logcat?

Who is your carrier? Did you try the #*#* codes instead of ##?

Bugs are pretty much the same as CM, as far as I know.

Battery life should be about the same, but everyone's usage patterns are different.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zDisturbed1:
The carrier is ting i did try #*#* just so i could awnser for sure and it does not work i read that the ## stuff never works in cm based roms and most any custom roms. My carrier is ting its basicly sprint at a cheaper price. I did find a fix though i used an app called APN Backup & Restore if you make it a system app with titanium it can work even on 4.0+ and i backed up the settings in a diffrent rom then restored them in PAC and now everything is working.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] antonyfirst:
Hi, sorry if it's already answered: I am on Carbon from 1 August, I would like to flash PAC-man. On the CM 10.2 thread, I see one should flash stock JB because some proprietary files of 10.2 come from JB.

What should I do to flash PAC-man? Should I revert to stock JB and then install it? Or it's enough to go into the recovery, factory reset and flash it?

Thank you.
