[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Give it a spin

Don't let my brain-dead post from earlier about Paraniod/PACrom settings missing. My dpi settings changed and the menu was rendered in two columns. The ones I was looking for were one screen to the right. :rolleyes: My bad. Not sure how my settings changed but I've fooled with so much testing this thing since taking all this on, who knows what I did between flashes. LOL. I'm not really seeing any more FC's myself than any other 4.3 ROM I've tried. Really not many actually and I've not been able to duplicate any that were reported thus far. It's only going to get better.

:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Larry94:
Anyone have any idea why the power button isn't locking the phone? SCreen won't go off and the power menu can't even be brought up. It went away earlier when I tweaked the kernel settings but it appears to be back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Wish I could duplicate this. Any chance you can snag a logcat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Larry94:
Just left his house an hour ago. it was fine then, but he just texted me saying he can't shut the phone off or lock it. I'll be out with him tomorrow so I'll try to use alogcat. I will note that 'Phone' was keeping the device awake for long amounts of time. I found something similar when googling and found this. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41855

Just like his device, Android OS, System, and Phone are at the top. This was also happening with the stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Well, both. There's an issue with the build system that's being worked on. The phrase "Blame Tyler" is an inside joke. It's a FC. One of PAC's core devs has a sense of humor. ;)

How?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, installed rom and gapps, wiped dalvik and cache again. Used pa stock gapps and also tried again with micro gapps. Unless this rom takes more than 10 minutes to boot, both resulted in boot loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
10 Minutes? That would be unusual. I've only encountered one loop with KK on my device. I hold it while it's coming up so I can feel the "buzz" if it does boot loop. Dunno if this will help.... but you might try this GAPPS pkg https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4htxgsk1cxkgnx/pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131114-signed.zip

I've had some strangeness with early versions of PAC-Man KK but not for a long time. I don't flip ROMs much though since I'm always working on the thing. One thing that seemed very odd to me once is that I could NOT get the blasted thing to boot if I flashed the ROM and GAPPS together. Had to flash the ROM.... let it come up by itself. Then reboot into recovery and flash GAPPS. That was quite a while ago and hasn't happened since. What's really frustrating is that I cannot explain why......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
Weird problem. I would suggest switching recoveries but you already tried both :/ Have you been flashing a lot of different ROMs lately? My phone tends to act really stupid over time as I flash over and over. When it is feeling less than fresh I go back to stock with Kies. Seems to wipe out many problems I have. Also maybe try to download the rom onto a PC and transfer over to phone. Sometimes you get a bad DL and don't even know it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Possibly very good advice if Windows is involved. Haven't used it myself in almost 20 years. (Am I missing anything???) LOL Ok seriously. I work on PAC so I'm almost always dirty flashing. I'm always sideloading. This is very convenient for a developer but might not reveal lurking problems that a Windows user might experience. Contemplate this, I must! :D

All kidding aside a very valid question has been raised!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Been staying on one ROM for the most part, though I did try some new KK while trying out gimmeitorilltell's TWRPs. Always have a few in rotation to keep them all up to date...occasionally dumping one and flashing from scratch when I've modded them a bit too far. Spent the last week with my daughters xperia J. Wow. That made me appreciate the "built" roms from our devs, vs the "spins the wheel and takes his chances" "ports" of the xperia community. Not bashing them, they were very helpful, I just don't have time to try out 12 never been tried procedures and end in failure. I found a ROM she liked in the end!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Haha! Funny, I've always thought of flashing anything as "spins the wheel and takes his chances". I like how you put that. With a little research, preparation and common sense seems we can almost always prevent disaster. Helps to be able to JTAG though I never have. Not once. Like you I keep a couple favorites around one of which is a de-bloated stocker. Flash them every once in a while just to keep them current. Amazes me to hear people say they never bother with nandroid backups. The I717 is a very forgiving device. Some aren't so lucky.

Just wish you didn't have those troubles with PAC. I've had some strangeness from time to time but like you, I always leave myself a way out.

Best!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
If it helps, this is the sequence I follow when flashing a ROM: Factory reset/wipe, cache/wipe, format /system and wipe dalvik cache. Install ROM, wipe cache and then install gapps (in this case PA Micro).

The ROM works fine thus far. Had one FR on wakeup. Uptime since has been 16hrs. If it lasts over 72hrs the phone will be promoted as my daily driver.

PS: I use CWM Recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Make no promises as to battery life (yet) The custom kernel as a bunch of useless stuff shut off. It also replaces the mpdecision and thermald proprietary vendor blobs. The stock (nightly) does not. But if you use the custom kernel version and crank the clock or voltages up......... well, it's simple mathematics at that point. :D

Off to try to find out why nightlies haven't built.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
gonna find

yeah my phone died in 3 hours ... but after i charged it , i got 10 + out of it with the custom kernel

now im just gonna play my music and pull a log to see if you can see anything for the G Music App
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
!!Perfect!! ::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
The ROM lasted for about 50 hours and then rebooted when trying to wake it up. I would say that is the biggest issue. Phone at times does not wake up when the power-button is pressed. It seems that issue carried over from 4.3. I recall, changing the CPU Governor to Wheatley fixed this issue. However, that governor is not available unless you install the UBER kernel?

So, what can I do at this point? Shall I change the CPU Governor to something else, install UBER or wait for a newer release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
Don't flash uber. Flash his custom kernel build instead. Runs like a champ. http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/quincyatt/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
Agreed! I've been rocking it since release. WOW its awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
You mean wipe and install the Alpha ROM or the latest build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
I'm using the alpha! And besides a few random reboots in the beginning after it settled in its been killer. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
If you are having lots of problems, you are better off wiping and installing the alpha rom in the custom kernel folder on basketbuild. I was running the 04/05 nightly (which was running perfect) and dirty flashed the pac_quincyatt_4.4.Alpha-1_20140406-222944.zip. I haven't had any reboots, everything I use the phone for works perfectly. I should note, I have 5 extra batteries, so my phone is never up for more than 5-6 hours. I really don't care about battery life, but I have actually noticed an improvement with this ROM. I should also note, I am a firm believer of clean installs, and dirty=very bad. But this combination is proving my firmly held beliefs to be wrong :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Finally got the Aprl 5 nightly flashed and up and running. Gonna put it through the paces tonight. Thanks for all the help folks but either my phone didn't like the straight flash to Alpha build or it was a bad download. This nightly is running sweet so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Wheatey is available in the custom kernel build. It's my own kernel but based heavily on C3Kener's and Jamie's work in UBER. I've heard flashing UBER on PAC does not work any longer due to the differences in ramdisk layout. You can try UBER if you wish but I suggest trying the custom PAC kernel and using the Wheatley governor. Subsequent custom kernel builds will default to Wheatley but for now it's interactive. You can get it by going to http://www.pac-rom.com and navigating to the quincyatt device under the downloads tab. It's in the custom_kernel directory. I'm working with our new build system (Jenkins) to see if there's a way to make my kernel the default for quincyatt and quincytmo nightlies without messing up any of the other msm8660 device builds. With our earlier build system (DIBS) this was not possible. It may be with Jenkins. YMMV of course but I have none of those issues you describe. That damn video problem is making me nuts though. Using an app from the play store for video recording myself for now......

Good luck with it!

[MENTION=5372846]AD5GB[/MENTION] Thanks for the new kernel build. I tried the 4/15 nightly yesterday but it does not compare to PAC with your kernel. I do not overclock or mess with anything, it is just all in all more stable for my phone. I guess if you made it flashable I would gladly start using the nightlys, but until then, I'm happy with your test builds. Thanks again for keeping this alive :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juju2011:
I've had the same problem on all my ROMs tried so far... Music switches to external speaker if I switch apps or open something different from what is it open on the screen.

I'll try to find some time to work with this over the weekend. I have a headphone device similar to what you describe but it's back at the house. I'm away from home at present but heading back this weekend. If I can duplicate the problem we can probably fix it.

Thanks for the additional details! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Glad to hear you're liking it and it's working so well for you. Have to give credit to Cl3Kener and JamieD31 for their work on UBER as a very large part of this kernel comes from their work on UBER. I've thought about making it a flashable package separately but am afraid of support nightmares from doing that. It's so much easier to integrate a kernel into the build process of the ROM itself than deal with differences between what different ROMs do with the ramdisk and such. I may do this at some point. I'm still looking into looking into making this kernel the 'default' for quincyatt and quincytmo nightlies if it won't mess up the builds of other msm8660-based devices. I'll keep the custom_kernel builds as fresh as time permits. Still trying to get a bootable up-leveled kernel for quincy. Keep running into 'issues' and recent events have left me little free time. I'll keep hacking at it though.

Thanks for enjoying PAC-Man ROM!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
What the difference between the custom kernel and the nightly downloads?

Is the custom the rom with a custom kernel or is it just a kernel? How can we get just the kernel since there isn't and other custom kernels that work for this anymore?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clepperM:
same issue here and when trying to hit power & return to lockscreen, no dice. have to battery pull.

glad you brought this up because i'm poor at describing such events. :eek:

other than that, ROM runs buttery smooth when not freezing up.

Dialer stopped working for me except when I use my bluetooth in the car. I can use the car's bluetooth dialer but not directly from the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
It is the current PAC ROM with a customized kernel - based heavily on Cl3Kener's and Jamie's work with UBER. I'm not packaging stand-alone kernel packages yet due to the differences in ramdisk and boot image configurations between ROMs. (the reason flashable kernel packages sometimes work with one ROM and not with another). It's a support nightmare to sort all that out... I may offer on strictly for flashing on top of PAC on our Note 1s. Not sure yet

Edit: Oh yeah.... the video camera works too....

Is their anyway to get the LED lights to work when I receive and email, text etc...

I had a SIII and this worked great.

Realize this is an older model, but it would be nice to look over at my phone and see that I had a new message without turning the screen on.

ROM works great, except for the flickering screen.. But I fixed that by turning on the "Disable HW overlays"

If I can only figure out how to leave it disabled after reboots..

Great ROM.

Its an Aroma installer so you can choose what to install. it can permanently disable HW overlays and I think there is also an older version of Uber kernel that may support BLN for LEDs flashing that you can try if you choose to.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Raleran:
I'm having an issue with Maps, specifically google navigation rebooting within 5-10 minutes after launching it.

This problem isn't specific to this ROM but seems to be an issue with my phone and every 4.4 ROM that I tried. I hope someone in this thread may be able to shed some light.

I started with a clean flash, let everything update, then install a couple of my critical apps before going for a drive using google navigation. Within 5 minutes the phone reboots. After it reboots itself it tends to shut itself off during the load sequence so I have to start the phone again before it fully loads the OS

I've tried reloading this (and other 4.4 roms) with various amounts of wiping the file system... though I haven't wiped internal and external storage. I've also done everything from loading all my apps to none of them. Tried looking at the logs but didn't see anything obvious. Navigation works in my home or when I go for a walk. But if I get in the car and drive 5 minutes out, bam! I don't have any navigation issues if I downgrade to a 4.2.2 ROM... but who wants to do that?

I'm at a loss as to what to try next...any ideas?
