[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennysu:
I have an Android phone but I felt it got slower and slower than it is used to be after couple months. Maybe the fragmentation of the file system is an issue but I know it is harmful to defrag a NAND-based file system due to wearing out issue; however, I proposed a method to defrag my Android phone and I would like to hear about the feedback from you guys.

1. First, use CWM to backup your whole system.

2. Format your /data partition, maybe you can ignore /system since it is a read-only mount point and fragmentation is seldom. Formatting is necessary to rebuild the file system, not deleting or overwriting only.

3. Restore your backup file to the system via CWM.

4. Reboot your device.

Is it a good way to defrag your system, especially /data partition?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkwr27:
I say no because what are you doing but making an image of an already fragged data partition then wiping it clean and putiing the fragged image back. best way would be to use TiBu and save tthe apps/data you want then either factory reset or wipe and reinstall your rom then use TiBu to reinstall your apps with the data you didnt want to loose already there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neighborhoodhacker:
I have to agree all you are accomplishing is reimaging the partition with the fragged hard drive image. Also Linux doesn't so much care about defragging as windows does. The drivers are probably coded quite differently and I know windows machine can definitely use a defrag from time to time but I have never heard of anyone defragging a Linux machine
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkwr27:
Come to think of it, in the 10 or so years I've been having an affair with linux behind windows' back, I have never defragged a linux drive (ext2,3,4) nor had the need. Though win7 ultimate x64 seems to defrag as it goes and doesnt frag as much/bad as older versions, so I've never had to manually defrag that os either.

i think a full wipe will do :)

Hi all

I'm running CM7.2 on my Defy MB525 Red Lens as best stable ROM for me but I'm really missing stock Motorola Multitouch keyboard (not swype one)

Is there any way to get it works on this ROM? Please don't suggest third party apps as I've tried all of them. Where to find any Moto keyboard apk or flashable zip? thanks
[Defy Themes and Apps] TSHIP:
Dear topic starter,

did you find that keyboard ?

I would like to look at it.

My Defy came with swype initially, thats why I am asking
[Defy Themes and Apps] osstis:
I got new Moto now. Unlucky to find stock Defy keyboard.
[Defy Themes and Apps] AnTerNoZ:
Isn't it that from froyo or eclair Roms? Than you just have to unpack sbf and mount system partition in Linux. Than u can copy the apk.

Bugs & PAC FAQ

Bugs

PAPrefs is currently experiencing issues with hdpi devices, this has been reported to the PA team. Check this post for the workaround.

Some functions of Rom Control do not work, one example is Signal/WiFi custom colours.

PACman FAQ​

PIE FAQ

Q. What is PIE?

A. PIE is a new way to interact with your notifications. It provides easy gesture based interaction with all your system information without taking up valuable screen space. PIE is what you see in this image.

Q. How do I access Pie?

A. Swipe your finger from the pie gravity edge (default is the bottom) toward the center of your screen. While keeping your finger on the screen, drag your finger to the desired button and release to click.

Q. My PIE doesn't look like the ones in the screenshots. I don't see the Clock or notifications.

A. Notifications work either through the status bar or PIE. If the status bar is enabled, PIE reverts to just the softkeys. To enable the full PIE experience, enable Expanded Desktop by going to Settings -> System -> Power Menu -> Expanded Desktop (Status bar hidden). Access the power menu and turn Expanded Desktop on.

Q. How do I change PIE colors?

A. Go to Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> Interface and change the Navigation bar color.

Q. Buttons or keyboard rows near the edge of my screen are nonresponsive.

A. PIE's trigger area overlay is covering the edge of your screen. Change either the Trigger Area or Pie Gravity in Settings -> System -> PIE Settings.

Q. I don't like PIE, how do I turn it off?

A. To disable PIE set Trigger Area to None in Settings -> System -> Pie Settings. Remember to disable Expanded Desktop to turn status bar on again.

ROM FAQ

Q.Do I need to do a full wipe before installing this ROM?

A. Unless coming from a previous version of PACman it is highly recommended to do a full wipe before installing. This includes coming from ParanoidAndroid ROMs.

Q.What do the settings in Hybrid Properties do?

A. ParanoidAndroid has an extensive guide to the settings at this thread: [GUIDE][PARANOIDANDROID] A Complete Compendium on ParanoidPreferences [PA-Settings] Please do not post questions related to PA Settings in this thread, they are not ROM specific and all we'll do is point you to that thread.

Q.How do I turn on the Navigation Bar??

A.To enable the NavBar open Hybrid Properties, swipe the screen to the right to peek through to the menu.

Select Interface, now set your desired NavBar size with the slider.

Q.Something isn't working. What do I do?

A. First, make sure you are running the latest stable version. For i9100 users, try using the latest Dorimax kernel, for i777 users stick with the CM kernel provided. That should solve half the problems. If it persists, backup data using Titanium and do a full wipe reinstall. If the problem persists, report what it is and what triggers it so the dev can duplicate it.

A BIG thank you to IconRunner for putting together the FAQ!! :good:

Experimental Build

PACman 4.3 Alpha build 0 (updated 14/08)

Based on Android 4.3

Upstream from CM10.2

Upstream from PA 3.95

AOKP Milestone 2

Current bugs

Focal doesnt work

Some devices stuck at samsung logo after first reboot (limited to I9100 only)

other than this Let us know

Install instructions

Copy rom and gapps to phone

Reboot to recovery

Wipe system, and factory reset

Flash PAC

Flash Gapps

Reboot to system

Once boot is completed, reboot your phone

If stuck at samsung screen, factory reset again

Reboot and setup your phone

The bug with phone stuck at samsung logo is limited to few devices right now and the cause is not known, before factory reseting to solve this try wiping cache and dalvic cache alone, if this fixes it for you let me know

Note: Android 4.3 based builds are in alpha phase and are still not fully stable so be patient, its good enough to be a daily driver. Help us find the potential bug and help PAC get more stable.

I'm still using this ROM, and im loving it ^____ _^

Found bug i guess,...

Custom Notification Background can't be change,

~Once i select a photo from the gallery, cropped then saved, nothing happens with the SettingsUI which normally restarts itself after changing the background, it only restart when i try to change the ALPHA, but still nothing happens,

~also if i select a third party explorer to select an image, it force close the settings after i cropped the image then save, it also force close the Built in File manager if i select an image,....

they all came from the Custom Notification Background,

also, i think the DPS manager is messing with me, cause i can't play any music... nor change the ringtone and the notification sounds, media storage always force close....

but after i tried to install a different DPS manager, the audio works perfectly, even the media storage is not force closing anymore,...

More power and more beer :highfive:

Gonna find more bugs for our SL's Road to 4.4 :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aulterra:
Ok so a mate has an SGS and I'm wanting to buy it, but the only thing holding me back is the fact the power button is so sensitive that even if you bump the button slightly it turns on or off.

So my question is, is there a way to turn the button off and replace the power function with something different like sweep to wake? Or?

He's asking 50 for it, or he has an SGS2 4G and wants 100 for it, no issues with it either.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] thefunkygibbon:
Hi all,

Just wondering which ROM I should install to get the best out of the old t101? I've tried a whole bunch in the past few months and all of them seem to run pretty damn sluggish despite them claiming to be "fast". I'm sure that it didn't run this horrid when I first bought the device when it first came out.

I don't fancy going back to honeycomb, but if thats the only way to get things running nicely back again then I guess there isnt much choice.

are there any 4.0/4.1/4.2 roms which run good enough to use as a daily driver? Currently running the Paranoid Android port.

many thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frederuco:
Highly recommend the KatKiss 4.2.2 or 4.3 ROMs.

Be sure to use TWRP recovery and do a factory reset from recovery. I would HIGHLY recommend a FORMAT DATA as well as this will speed up the IO performance of the /sdcard/ that can make it slow. This will wipe all data.

If you do not wipe data it will take some time to scan the media on the tab on first boot. Maybe 15-90 min.

If you don't for at data, be sure to run the two optimize scripts in a terminal to help with the slow IO issue.

/etc/kat/optimizedb and /etc/kat/optimizestorage
[Eee Pad Transformer General] csb5731:
Honestly, I haven't seen anything like this with any ICS-onwards ROM vs stock. 100% the opposite.

When you say sluggish, what do you mean? Desktop transitions, animations, load times, specific app performance? With EOS/KatKiss 4.1 ROM's onwards, everything about my TF is improved. Desktop transitions, scrolling browser smoothness, etc. are all seriously improved since honeycomb.

With KatKiss 4.3, I haven't even bothered yet to overclock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jsight:
I run KatKiss 4.3, and so far it is the best ROM that I have seen for this tablet. It is much faster than stock Honeycomb ever was, and has been extremely stable for me. My tablet has currently been up for fourteen days with no issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] railshot:
I have the same problem as OP. The stock was pretty smooth, but after upgrading to KatKiss 4.2.2 everything is sluggish. Animations/transitions are choppy. Browsing the web is becoming an exercise in frustration with long page loads. The subjective feeling is as if the processor became slower or there is less RAM available. I compared this with a first gen Nexus 7 and that thing runs the way my transformer used to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] railshot:
Well I stand corrected. I upgraded to KatKiss 4.3 and my Transformer just flies. So it was either a bad installation or something about 4.2.2 that it did not like.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thefunkygibbon:
cool. will try to install katkiss then. I think thats probably one of the few ones i havent already tried :)

will come back later with a trip report.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmukhin:
Probably I missed something but all unrooting guides here mention whole stock reflashing and factory reset... But I would like to keep my app data. The story is: I have stock, rooted using CF-Auto-Root and decided to move to original state - flash counter not set and status device says official. I did the following:

1. Extracted recovery.img from my original stock (downloaded from Samsung-Updates site), tar-ed and flashed via Odin PC. Thought it is needed to replace custom recovery that CF-Auto-Root contains and prevent further counter updates due to custom recovery. But now think it is redundant since it seems treated as non-custom... Just interested: could somebody confirm that CF-Auto-Root recovery is safe for the counter?

2. Used TriangleAway to reset counter and it is OK now, I see this when go to download mode

3. Removed root from SuperSU settings (something like "remove root permanently"), checked: it uninstalled SuperSU and removed su executable. Wiped cache from recovery. But when rebooted device status still says modified

4. Extracted system.img from my original stock, tar-ed, wiped cache from recovery and flashed via Odin PC. When rebooted device status still says modified

This is where I stuck, should I really wipe data to get rid of modified? But if I should wipe data how could I restore my backups: Titanium Backup requires root, so, I should get root again to restore and then wipe to remove:laugh: Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The modified status only goes away after a factory reset. Sorry. There is no way to restore your data using a root app. Maybe you can do some backups using "carbon" or "KIES" which do not require root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmukhin:
:crying: but thank you! :) Later I'll look to Helium (new Carbon name) but for now I return root then (but reset counter - at least I shouldn't do it in future before factory reset)... So, could you please tell me if I really should restore recovery as I did in #1? Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you used "CF Auto Root" it flashes a stock recovery anyway so there should be no need.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmukhin:
Well, changed status to official:

1. In terminal executed "su" then "pm enable com.sec.android.app.sysscope", rebooted. Status already changed to official

2. Removed rooting using SuperSu settings (to prevent further status changes)

While it is not safe for service (think those guys could find some trails still), I could have now OTA, right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Interesting. So no wipe required?

They only check download mode for traces of root. They don't look deeper
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmukhin:
It could be firmware version dependant, my is XXEMA2 (O2C)... Also if something requests root on reboot in #1, status will be changed again...
