I tried 5 KitKat roms nowdays.... quickest, smoothest ROM so far!!!! Good Work! :good:

I tried kitkat roms because looking for LEAP authentication implemented in rom like 4.2 or 4.1 but unfortunately not in any kitkat roms

Hey, just asking if an update is in progress, as this is a great ROM, that seems to be forgotten. No pressure, just a question. ;)

Tanks for the great job BTW.
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Has development stopped for this ROM?

Just asking cuz paranoid team has released the latest build with pie.

And I definitely wanna have a slice of pie :P
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
It hasn't I am just bogged down with deadlines ATM.... Will update in a WK or two. And I don't think they have updated their source with that yet as it's just a teaser.

Let's Go ^_^

Has any one tested the the june 23rd build ??
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
There is no june 23rd build. They just seem to be reuploaded but the filenames still say, that these builds are very old. Latest is 18/01/2014.

No new builds of any AOSP-roms for months now :( Seems the defy is hitting the end of the road. CM11 is just too heavy and no real option for me.
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
Hi there,

i'm trying to bring to you a fresh build of paranoid android (with 4.4.4 source tree).

As far as i'm talking, i have a working build but it has some bugs/lacks such as not working theme engine, reboot when setting a new background image (o.O), defy parts not showing up in settings, voice quality filters and maybe other things i'm not noticing.

The last two should be easy to bring because we can use Quarx2k code.

About the first two i really don't know what to do, i will try with a clean build.

I will keep you updated
[Defy Android Development] jassi32:
Thanks for your hardwork

Will be waiting for it :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
The'll be waiting, work is appreciated .. thanks ..! :good:
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
Ok guys, i did a clean build last night and now theme engine is working.

I merged the commits that add 'Advanced' settings and voice quality filters.

There is just a problem i don't understand: su/root is not working.

logcat shows this:

D/su ( 2850): su invoked.
D/su ( 2850): starting daemon client 2000 0
E/su ( 2850): connect failed with 2: No such file or directory

I will try to use the su binary included in cyanogenmod, but paranoid use the same source.

update: the problem is su daemon. it's not starting on boot. I may have found the solution.

I used the wrong system/core (which is for cm) and doesn't not include init.pa.rc

Thanks [MENTION=4128517]carlo93[/MENTION] for your great work, please post a download link after completing your work, I am waiting for it desperately :)
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
Root fixed too (ramdisk problem).

You can download the flashable zip here: pa_mb526-4.45-20140802.zip Mirror: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567722193

Sources on my github (i have still fews commits to push): https://github.com/chuck-

If for some reason you don't like mega or the link it's not working, please suggest another good host for uploading roms.

Remember that in order to flash the zip you need at least the recovery "defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip".

Note that the zip has no valid signature because the build system i used, so i modified the updater-script with Quarx's one for the moment -> disable signature check, if you have it enabled.

If you're coming from other roms, remember to format /system too.

You can use banks minimal gapps.

Credits to Quarx for his awesome work which makes all this possible, Kayant, Blechd0se and everyone who contributed at AOSPA, cyanogenmod, Defy development. Thanks a lot guys :victory: Donate to them if you can/want.

Let me know if it works, how it works or if something is missing.

Do you think i should open a new thread? I'm not sure because i don't know how long i will support this (slow connection + laptop to build = bad combination = a lot of time needed)
[Defy Android Development] Zeroemd:

[Defy Android Development] DroidBot:
Hi all, I am running latest PA build (02082014) since yesterday and I have a short description about its performance:

-> Firstly, when I flashed this build, it was running quite slow for sometime (but it became smooth after some time).

-> When I was installing my first APK that is Titanium backup, some graphical glitches was appeared during installation progress (after this, NO glitches was there even at installing other apps).

-> Build is running very smooth NOW, and its performance is also nice.

-> Battery backup is little bit less as compared to CM11.

-> Overall I am happy with the first build after PA's comeback. :) :)

It's a request to [MENTION=4128517]carlo93[/MENTION], please consider this feedback.

And my intention is not to focus on negative points, I wrote for just a feedback so developer can consider them and do his best for the next build.

Thanks a lot for your work [MENTION=4128517]carlo93[/MENTION] :)
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
It looks very promising, I recommend opening a new thread for the new version ..!
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
in newer builds i will use the same toolchain (gcc archi 4.8) that uses Quarx in his build, maybe perfomance'll get better who knows.

sure, i think it's better a new thread :)

today paranoid 4.5 beta 1 was released.

i don't think they pushed their changes on github (except from android_system_vendor_pa which modifies the build number). i have synced my repos and built but i still cannot use the new "recent card stack view" :confused:

[MENTION=4128517]carlo93[/MENTION] -- you did a awesome work , running build from day1 of release , no problems ,

I'm making a request to add bootmenu in next build because i hate aero controls , which 7/10 makes my device bootloop coz of vsel settings , in bootmenu i used to experiment till i get the stable one , but on aero control device won't even boot up ......

Build is stable -- make next build when some major changes comes and stable cm11 nightly is released ....

if u can , please rebuild the same current build with bootmenu if possible for you .....

Many Thanks
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
i did nothing special, all the awesome work has been done by quarx and all other developers ;)

About bootmenu, i don't know. There was a flashable zip by YetAnotherForum user which adds the bootmenu to safestrap.

But he worked thanks to recovery.sh script which is now removed from safestrap.

Anyway, i'll keep in mind your request
[Defy Android Development] jassi32:
hey thanks , i found the YetAnotherForum post where he explained about it ,

as i have no knowledge of linux , i didn't understand some parts ,

i am posting the link here , whenever you have time, please check is it safe to flash on top of the current rom ,

because if i messed up in bootloop or anything i don't have my laptop to start from rsd ...

Hi all and gongrats for this really awesome site!

I have a Huawei Ascend g510-0100 bought in Greece with Vodafone rom B171 as a stock rom. I did some messing around with rooting, system files , etc. and now I want to revert back to the stock rom.

I did find a rom for Ireland Vodafone, not Greece.

I have to ask:

1. Is it ok to flash my device with the Ireland rom? will it be compatible?

2. How on earth am I going to revert back to stock rom?

P.S. I havent done any backup at all.....

P.S.2 Should I have an unlocked bootloader? How do I get it?

You must have a file manager installed on your phone. Go to Play Store and install ES File Explorer. Start it, and in the upper part you will see sdcard, click it and select sdcard1 (this is your sdcard).

Go to the location in your sdcard1 where you put framaroot, click it and install it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
I am unrooted and on stock 4.4.

I have tried installing the 4.4.2 OTA 3 times, failing every time on 20-30%.

Then I tried to go to recovery mode and wiping cache partition, and after that I immediately got another OTA 4.4.2, but that also failed.

I have no idea why this is happening, and what my options are.

Do anyone know about this problem, if it is with my phone or a general problem, and how to fix it, or get 4.4.2 some other way.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
did you install any mods, kernels, change any files? if so its been documented all over the forums.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
No, the only thing I've done that might be causing a problem (I've just now learned), is that I had Google Keep deactivated, which apparently is a no-no since it's a system app.

I've re-activated it now and waiting until I get another OTA, then trying again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
It didn't work. I have no idea what to do, can I sideload the APK?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theory:
Something similar happened to me to my wife's Nexus 5. Not even manually down loading the OTA file and flashing it using CWM worked properly (it flashed all right, but the phone became unstable after). So in the end, I downloaded the factory image for 4.4.2 and did a flash-all. Detailed instructions for doing that are available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513701. It seems to run fine now. If you would like to preserve your data, unzip all of the factory image file and flash one component at a time, skipping userdata.img (as doing so wipes your data).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
I've never had a problem flashing an update because system apps were disabled. Deleted yes, disabled no. If you were at one time rooted and deleted Keep from system/app sideloading it will not install it in the system, it will be installed as a user app. Also, if you put Keep back in system/app it needs to be both the apk and the odex files or it will fail again anyway. If you delete anything from the system you need to save those files somewhere because that will affect being able to do updates. Instead of deleting a file I would just rename it by adding the number 1 at the end of the name (Keep.apk1). At this point you would need to be rooted to replace anything in the system. Or you could use adb to flash the system image. Anyway... all this is conjecture on my part because it's not very clear if you have EVER been rooted or not and what exactly you mean by "deactivated," then asking if sideloading would work. If you "Disabled" Keep you don't need to sideload it because it's still there inside system/app. The update does not care if you have system app updates installed or not as long as the original is in system/app.

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

I believe you can open the flash-all script and delete the -w part and it will not flash the userdata image. I have a new original version of the 2012 N7 I'm going to try that with here in a minute to update to 4.4.2 but like you mention doing each image separately works great.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
Sorry for not being clear, I have never rooted, un-locked, flashed anything, etc. I am using the phone very stock-y, not messing with anything.

It boggles me, that I can have such a problem, when I am going completely stock.

The most "extreme" things I've done is install an adblock apk and flashplayer 11.1 apk, that Dolphin browser suggested.

I don't know if the only solution is to do a factory reset, which I hate doing, since it took so very long to set everything up the way I wanted it.

I've read of other people having this problem, and no solution, and some have tried a factory reset but that didn't fix it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
What is the error when the OTA fails?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Adblockers usually require root, which in turn edits the hosts file, so that could be the culprit. I'd go the factory image way and edit the flash-all.bat using Notepad++ before running it to remove the -w flag so you don't lose your data
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PremierGT:
try incremental install

try sideloading 4.4.1 first. .and then sideload 4.4.2 after that. see if that works.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
I just updated a new 2012 N7 from 4.1 to 4.4.2 and I couldn't get removing the -w flag to work. I think the script needs more editing than just removing the -w part. Something new I had never tried before which I actually don't personally have much use for because it still flashes the stock recovery over a custom recovery if you are using one. Anyway.. flashing the bootloader and radio separately and then flashing the update zip with "fastboot update image-hammerhead-kot49h.zip" would be a little bit of a shortcut versus flashing ALL of the images and you don't lose data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Never had an issue myself, but I always prefer to flash each image manually one at a time
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
I've always flashed each image separately also, I was just being lazy and experimenting. Removing the -w from the .bat and/or the .sh wouldn't work for me.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

If you don't want to try a factory reset (can't blame you) you're probably going to need to use adb. If you don't have it setup this is a good video showing how to setup adb.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
Thanks a lot.

I followed his steps and got it to show me the phones serial number when I wrote "adb devices" in cmd, in SDK -> platform-tools but... now what?

The guide just stops, and I don't know what to do.

I've done everything in this other guide ( http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/12/...-4-4-2-kitkat-update-nexus-4-nexus-5-nexus-7/ ), but when I get to "adb sideload kk.zip" it just says "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file" and I'm stuck again.

What to do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Your path to adb isn't correct. Put the zip file in the same folder as adb
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvago:
Thanks, that was it, got it to begin.

Unfortunately it didn't work, it gave me an error about 30-35% through (like the normal OTA).

2) allow number X from 12h to 0h

Can the application do this automatically?
