I've gone to the previous build and almost all is good again ("almost" because now I have to fight Google Services for the battery again).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
New build coming.

*Fixed Phone FC & battery drain from that when trying to make a call

*Updated sources.

*No MMS compression (Up to 1080p or 3mb)

Also there is a new build coming after this one today as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gevans01:
Bilibox, are you telling me to use your 4.3 PAC rom with power amp to test out the random pausing when playing music from SD

or

Use your 4.2.2 rom with power amp that may have corrected the problem. Please advise. I will try it to night.

Thanks,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
This 4.3 Pac rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ess.boyer:
Guys, I understand how much of a pain it is when things like the Phone on your phone don't work, but take a second to remember that the Holiday is OVER 2 YEARS OLD, and shipped with Gingerbread 2.3! It got a minor GB update, then 4.0.3, then 4.0.4 (much later), then 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, and finally 4.3. Not bad for a devices who's official EOL was at version 4.0.3!!! It's nothing short of a miracle that we ever have AOSP roms for this phone, considering how crippled the kernel was originally. Just thank your lucky stars and be glad we have it!

Also, with all that said, these Jellybean builds are GOING to be unstable. Period. If you MUST have something reliable, perhaps now is not the time to trust PAC as a daily. I mean that with absolutely no disrespect to anyone on here - devs or users - I'm simply trying to point out that these JB builds are going to be volatile while the devs work their magic to get features working, so there's nothing wrong with going back to a more stable JB build, or heck, even 4.0.3. I STILL find Holics 1.3 a pleasure to use, even after running JB 4.3 for months. This is what your recovery is for! Makes it very easy to jump between ROMS. Try out the latest versions of the JB roms, then flash back if there are still features you can't live without.

Anyway, this is so great to see so much enthusiasm over this platform, which I had predicted would be dead in the water 6 months ago! Keep it up everyone!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
I like what you said and you have a point... Truthfully I can say that everyone has a different definition for "daily driver" truthfully the phone not working was fine for me.,.. I used it as a daily perfectly fine. It wasnt ideal but I was fine with it xD

I'm truthfully surprised we got 4.3 working on the vivid this far. thats 3 whole OS updates its gone through since the official 4.0.3 ... sure it isnt sense but its the best we can do. Maybe Albino and I can experiment getting sense 4.5 on this device? I doubt we can do it and if we did nothing would work right most likely.. But right now i'm only doing AOSP builds. pure android. I'm trying to get rootbox 4.2.2 to build. Planned 4.3 builds are AOCP, Mokee, (dirty unicorn if mazda doesnt wanna do it) and any rom I had supported for 4.2.2

With that. I'm giving one last update to all my 4.2.2 roms. Dunno when but Whenever i can during the weekend
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gevans01:
Hi Bilibox, Great rom (4.3) I've flash the boot.img 3Xs, then install the rom and gapp last night. It did minimized the pause while playing music. (1/2 sec. every two or three songs or 10 minute intervals) When I install power amp and increased the audio buffer to the max, the pauses were slight, every 15 minutes. The buffering was noticably when switching between songs but the pausing was less frequent. (Thanks for great advice)

Ok, testing....I noticed after 3 hours of opening and switching applications, the entire display turned to a orange color (text was slightly readable). Then the display brightness was reduce to half. (barely displaying the characters) First I tried to reset the brightness (no luck), Reboot (again no luck) and finally totally shut down and start again (no luck in increasing the brightness). My next options when I get home later this evening is to try a (first backup) reinstall. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Also ess.boyer comment about extending the life and expanding the features of the vivid is so true. If anyone truly need a 100% functional daily use phone, then this forum is not for you, but if you want to maximize your phone experience with new playful features, then enjoy flashing and be respectful to our developers when reporting issues. (Our developers look at reported issues as challenges with possible solutions)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Good to hear about the audio. Thats a great increase to what it was on 4.2.2 roms.

Odd about your display.. maybe you hit a setting somewhere. Been running it longer than anyone with no problems
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gevans01:
call issues

bilibox;

I thought this was fixed in your new built. Have you notice calls issues. When I get a call and pickup, the person can't heard me. When they call the second time, when they can hear me. The same thing happen when I can them. The is happening with you new release.....9/5 rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
This happens in all AOSP based roms. There hasn't been a fix for it yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Your 9/6 build broke both internal and external storage...

*sigh*
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mbze430:
I feel like a newb here. I am trying to flash this PAC rom, but after flashing and wiping all I get is a HTC white screen. I can still get in to Recovery and Bootloader...

What am I missing??

I am on HBOOT-1.85.0025, TWRP 2.4.4.0

EDIT: NVM... Figured it out.

---------- Post added 7th September 2013 at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was 6th September 2013 at 11:09 PM ----------

how do you fix that ? I can't access the internal or the ext SD card right now....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
This. Shame, love the way it looks and feels.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
I was stating the bugs. No Phone app is a major issue; a critical app. It's discovery was distressing. I am happy of the dev's great work and the constant fixing of issues, and I am happy having an almost completely working, great rom.

Also, I came from the incredible S which was shipped with Froyo 2.2 and I used it up to JB 4.2.2 as my daily driver before coming to the Vivid.. THAT is a phone that has far surpassed its EOL!

Anyway, another Tyler. I turned off notifications in the Gmail app but can't turn them on again. Also, data does not switch types when signal for that is low. Example, 4gsignal is low; instead of switching to 3g or g it drops out completely.

And the sms message pop up does not have the option to go dark,r is it now supposed to be connected to the PAC make it dark, because that isn't working then (just like the calendar issue before).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Uninstall gmail reinstall gmail

Data dropped to 3g and Edge for me already ... Not true

Its not connected to make it dark nor has it ever been.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
mbze its a bug in the current build and its already fixed in the latest build I have. Wasn't anything I did.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Maybe a bad upload to dev-host?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Just curious, have you uploaded the fixed build already or not quite yet?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
No.. Not a bad upload. Like i said. It's now fixed in the build I have.

No . the date will change once it is done
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wolfhawke:
Bluetooth?

Is Bluetooth still broke? That is the only reason why I have NOT tried any of the 4.3 ROMS yet... Bluetooth was an acceptable workaround for the volume bug that's plagued us since the 4.1's...

I did also want to say THANK YOU to you and albinoman for what you guys have done so far with the Vivid/Raider/Velocity...it seems HTC forgot us as soon as they raised us out of the pit of Froyo...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Seems you misspelled gingerbread... :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mbze430:
I am going to assume that it's the hardware driver issue. Just like anything in this android world, if the OEM don't have source for their hardware for a specific android release, things has to be "re-engineered".

considering how dwindled the Vivid forum is I doubt there will be a "fix" for the bluetooth anytime soon. Unless of course you find the same bluetooth hardware from the Vivid that is also being used with another device that has 4.3 sources for. But even then I think it would need to be from HTC (my guess).

I believe this is also goes true for the Camera problem.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
I had bluetooth working not that long ago.. then we decieded to do some stuff with the vendor files and that ended up breaking bluetooth but made wifi stable. and more people want wifi over bluetooth.. we will figure out a fix. it's just that no one has time right now
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mbze430:
That's good to hear. Glad there are people working on it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Is it possible to get a link for the September 5th build? I'd like to try this ROM but I see that the one from the 6 has no storage working.

I found sept 2 build on dev-host thanks.

Edit: Is it normal that some apps like gmail and web browser are shown in a kind of tablet mode?

And is their a way to make the recent apps open faster, it looks like the side icons are making it slow but I don't find setting to disable it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Yes, its due to the Paranoid Settings that change the DPI of the app you're using. With gmail open, pull down the notification bar, go over to the Quick Settings, and select where it says 600dpi/200p Gmail or whatever it reads. There you can change the resolution for each app you use, making it either phone or tablet mode. Tinker with the settings to get a resolution comfortable for you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
Three more bugs. One probable bug is the phone "charges" really fast to "100%" then accepts no further current through the battery. However while it displays "charged" it has not been charging at all and soon dies. It does subsequently charge while off. I have changed batteries and the problem still exists. I will now change chargers and report back. The min/max clockspeeds are default, governer is badass, and IO is vr.

Second bug is the unreliability of mobile data (default is LTE and I live in a very well covered area in Sydney, Aus) I sometimes struggle to turn on data through both the quick settings and in settings. Sometimes it will not turn on while others it will flash on and off the first time and stay on the second time I toggle it. It sometimes bombs out instead of casting to 3G/G, but not often. I have seen someone report this on the CM Kang 4.3 rom. I have noticed the huge performance increase since 4.2.2 using speedtest.net (max dl speed was 20Mb/s and now is 35Mb/s).

Last bug is the wifi text display in the statusbar is inaccurate at times, ahowing neaer 0% or actually 0% while I am near a hotspot and the quicksetting tile/ settings show signal is strong.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
http://d-h.st/bxl

1: Stock settings do not do that. Only had this happen whn using battery apps. I charge overnight all the time.

2: It drops out but eventually connects back. we are still trying to fix it

3: Stay near it for 90 seconds. wifi refreshes every 60 or 90 seconds. If you want it to refresh every 5 i can allow that. Though your battery will hit 0% in no time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Thanks for the link!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
What would be the recommened cpu settings for texting, wifi, facebook, instagram, and just social apps only? I don't play games or anything, and I'd like to get the most out of my battery.. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I personally like 384 - 918, sio
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Yeah when doing music i like settings mine to 192 - 918 CFQ . So that is what i would recommend
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Thanks Guys. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
1. I've deleted the battery stats app I had, though I've had it since 4.1.1 and never had a problem like this before. Will test.

2. Excellent. This is the one thing that makes me want to give up on this phone sometimes. Hope you can get it done! :D

3. Nevermind then (still doesn't explain why the icon is accurate while simultaneously the text isn't [yes looking at them at the same time]). The wifi connection works fine anyway. I just prefer accurate numbers over inaccurate icons.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Switch to a 4.2.2 ROM....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
Umm okay. Why would I want to do that? I am happy with this rom otherwise. 4.2.2 roms had the same problem with data alongside the no signal bug, magic string of numbers for signal bug, static signal icon bug, etc. This rom has been a huge improvement.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
4.2.2 data never randomly dropped.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
Instead all signal was lost. *airplane mode: on. Airplane mode: off. Signal and data returns*
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
That is a completely different issue then the one in this rom 4.2.2 had stable data. On every reboot/boot the radio didnt turn on. I'm pretty sure we added that to 4.3 and it can be added to 4.2.2
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wolfhawke:
Bluetooth soon?

Hi billibox,

Was wondering if there were any breakthroughs on the Bluetooth...I tried the ROM and the only dealbreaker (especially with the known history of audio bugs) is bluetooth... The SD card access thing is a bit of a pain, but this is a phone, not a multimedia device.

Keep up the good work with albinoman887...you guys rock!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
A new version of pac will not be released until pac has decided to fix their sources. Right now it doesnt boot when it should be booting perfectly fine. I uploaded my test build form 9/12 which works as well as any of the other builds

New 4.3 roms will be coming to this device soon thanks to that
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
Almost there!

Looks like the Internal memory and SD card now working. Camera won't focus or take pictures, or it will on first pic? And the Media Scanner Service is not working. No Music in Apollo or Photos in Gallery. Anyone else? (You can open pictures in Gallery via any browser, but opening the Gallery shows blank)

Great job! Still Love PAC...Is CM10.2 getting updates faster? or are these the same issues? :cyclops:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Cm will have more updates until PAC gets fixed. Also did you do a full wipe? I'm running it with no problems
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] c0de_junkie:
I absolutely love the latest release(pac_holiday_4.3.Build-1_20130912-001441.zip), but I seem to be having trouble with my signal. It only shows 1 bar no matter what, even when I go to signal status under "settings -> about phone -> status" it only shows my signal at -108 dBm 32asu and it never changes no matter what I do... I have been using my HTC Amaze for the last few months and I felt like a change, so I figured I would give my Vivid a go instead of letting it just sit there collecting dust :D , so I haven't really been using any of the new 4.3 or even 4.2.2 roms because the amaze doesn't have any roms with that version, so I am not sure if this is a common issue with 4.3 or not so I am sorry if this has already been discussed, I tried searching/reading this thread but I couldn't find anyone else talking about a signal bug/issues except for "KarlKognition" on post #69, but there was no real info on why or if there is any fix for it.

Normally when I am at my house I have all 4 bars and almost never have less than 3 when I am pretty much any where in the city that I live in. I'm not sure if it is just the icon not showing but I have been having problems with sms's not being sent and my received sms's coming in slightly delayed because of lack of signal also my calls seem to be not always connecting due to lack of signal so I am pretty sure it is more than just the icon not showing the signal properly.

When I flashed the rom I did a full wipe several times before I flashed the rom and I am pretty sure I did everything the right way, so if anyone could shed some light on this for me then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys

** EDIT ** I forgot that I have also been having an issue every time the phone boots up, an error pops up saying this "ME returned a temporary error" with the option to press either ok or cancel, I am not sure what this means and I am not sure if this is anything to worry about because other than the signal issue that I stated above, there doesn't seem to be any other issues. so any info on this is greatly appreciated, thanks again guys.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
That error always happened on my inspire. I just ignored it.

Signal works fine... Not sure why it wouldnt be working for you. Maybe try reflashing?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] c0de_junkie:
ok, so I tried doing a full wipe and installing the rom again, and I still have the same problems with signal strength, I wanted to make sure that it was not my phone causing the problem so I did another full wipe and flashed your 4.2.2 rom and it too had the same problem with the signal... so I then downloaded 3 other roms, the first being the Slim Beam rom, second being BoRKeD rom 3.7 and the third rom being Pegasus_2.5.0a, after a full wipe all three roms show the normal signal strength that I normally get while I am in my home, 4 bars and no connectivity issues what so ever, so I now know that the problem is not with my antenna or my phone, so it has to be something with your roms.... I really like your roms and would really like to continue using them, so if you could please look into this issue then it would be greatly appreciated.... thank you very much.

** EDIT ** I am now going to try flashing this rom "| CyanogenMod 10.2 - Android 4.3 - Jellybean |" to see if it has the same problem or if it works, I will report back in about 1 hour on my findings.

** UPDATE ** well after trying "| CyanogenMod 10.2 - Android 4.3 - Jellybean |" it too had no problems with signal and I get all 4 bars while sitting in my living room.... so my issue with signal on your rom must be caused by the rom itself and not an issue with the hardware of my phone... out of the 5 other roms that I have tried, your roms are the only ones that have an issue with signal, and out of all the roms that I tried, I liked your rom the most :) and I would very much like to continue to use it, so if you can look into this then it would be greatly appreciated...

I hope that you don't think/feel like I am signaling you out(no pun intended :) ), I just wanted to be sure that my issue was not a problem with my hardware and that my phone is still functioning as it is intended....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Its just the bars showing the wrong signal, so if you get service, it just works. All is good
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] c0de_junkie:
that is so not true though.... on this rom my signal strength is -110 dBm 32 asu to -108 dBm 30 asu with 1 bar I have lots of connectivity issues like calls not connecting and sms's not being sent and on other roms where i have all 4 bars it is -80 dBm 20 asu to -60 dBm 17 asu and I have no connectivity issues at all, so this is not just a issue with the icon not properly showing the signal strength
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Ok
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
He is correct... At least with my experience...

If you live in a fringe service area and are constantly switching between 2g, 3g, and lte... You will have issues with data... I proved it to myself with BBS and tons of phone.apk wakeups...

If you live where service is good... You'll never notice...

It appears to only be an issue on 4.3... After the ril from source was put in place... And as far as I care... Its only a minor annoyance...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] c0de_junkie:
I don't think that I could have said it better myself....You make a good point, and for that, I'm gonna have to agree.... :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
I didn't do a full wipe :rolleyes:

So I took a leap, and did a full wipe. Or atleast I think I did :eek: I wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System, SD-Ext, Android Secure, and Internal SD using TWRP 2.6.3.0 Advanced wipe.

After doing the wipe, Media Scanner service started working :cowboy: Gallery is working after the wipe and so is Apollo.

What isn't working is Camera focus. Seems to be glitching still. Try to focus, and the screen turns white while being able to see faintly the area your trying to picture. The LED flash stays on and doesn't want to shut off. GPS works in Google products, but doesn't want to work in cLock or and other program requiring GPS. Locations Services are turned on as well as the Share.

Now the odd thing... After doing the full wipe, somehow my Profiles were still set after the re-install??? :confused: Did I miss something?

Thanks Bilibox for all your help! :highfive:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Those profiles are saved to your Google account... And are restored after you login to google
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Sdext wipes your SD card :/

Yes the cameras auto focus is broken... Just like Cm...

Personally Focal works better on our device. You can try the new app from the play store.

For a full wipe you do everything except sdcards... But that is a pretty good wipe;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] c0de_junkie:
so am I the only person on this rom that is having connectivity issues????? does it matter that my Vivid is actually a Bell Canada "Raider" that has been CID unlocked to use Telus here in Canada? could that be why I am having such a hard time with signal? please any actual help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much...

** UPDATE ** I was FINALLY able to fix my signal while using this rom by following the steps in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2150435) and editing my build.prop file!!!! Now my signal strength is what it normally is with every other rom out there 4 bars all the time and no more connectivity issues what so ever!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
My signal for the most part has been fine. However, using that link you posted, I was able to boost my download/upload by about 33% according to the Speedtest app. Multiple attempts to confirm.

** NOTE: If you were having trouble with the GPS like I was, the is a post on the CM10.2 which helped me. Turn your GPS off, reboot, turn GPS back on. Fixed all GPS issues. However, a reboot with the GPS on, seems to have issues again. GPS needs to be turned off for some reason when rebooting or shutting off. Hope this helps someone.

Still having issues with the camera, and focal. :crying: But, I still love it, so I will wait patiently and look for other ppl's solutions if any.

How's battery life on the latest build? cm 10.2 I was hardly getting 2 hours after off charger, and forgot how this build was... I love 4.3 Pac, but didn't wanna chance flashing it and not having decent battery life for school tomorrow, so went back to 4.2.2, just curious what everyone else is getting on this rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] c0de_junkie:
So far I have been getting about a full day out of a full charge to 100% with very moderate use, a few phone calls, a lot of txts and some internet usage but not a lot...
