Sorry for the late reply but I had to check some settings. Here are my latest findings.

The animation control is part of the ASOP ROM and is integrated in the Pac man ROM. The current behaviour is therefore one of the features of the Pac man ROM. From the technical perspective, this can be changed quickly but then would this Rom not longer be a Pac man ROM.

I tried the Xposed framework to modify but the settings are the same. For avoiding any problems, I didn't made any changes via the framework. Only in origin settings dialogs.

With the following changes, I am only able to modify the default behaviour and I am not able to turn off.

First, I checked that for every option, the default behaviour is really selected.

Second, I reduced the animation duration to 75 ms.

Third, the option prevent app overrides is marked.

Then will the screen be fast, so that the kind of animation will not be a problem further.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
One remark for the Nova launcher user, in their settings is also an option for the app animation. There you can choose between the system settings, you can setup as described above, or you can use predefined profiles.

Please try out to find your best way to change.

1st - great ROM, I really like it.but coming from JB Carbon - this leads to the next point:

2nd - who the heck is Tyler, and why does he/she keep ruining this ROM?

3rd - in choose nothification background, how do I select 'no background'?

(settings - PAC-MAN - general UI - choose notification background)

4th - in the lock screen app choosing - how do i change the browser and camera and music apps to ones that i have downloaded?

(settings - PAC-MAN - lockscreen - hold lock buttons - select option - select application)

and can anyone tell me what setting i changed to disable tho volume rocker from adjusting the ring volume?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Sanj3k:
This worked perfectly for me :D Just ticked 4.1 Jelly Bean animations and it seems nothing is flying anymore :) I ve got another question, I would love to have BLN on the S4 Mini, usually I use vikinger or f4k kernel therefore but can I flash it over the pac rom? Because there are so many roms and rom information in it, I dont think I can just flash it, do I? If not can you explain me, how to get BLN working? :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] user1829:
when i flashed vikinger my wifi stopped.

that is why i found pac-man ROM!

i would like BLN too, but not if it stops wifi working....

[MENTION=5350363]gremly[/MENTION] when will you compile the new pac rom? it seems you are compiling and uploading every week once the last was from the 15th, so will you upload something today or tomorrow? and can you give us a hint how bln should work?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Within the last days, I had a lot of private and business related appointments, so that I was not able to take care of the questions, raised up.

I planned for today to upload a new build and also answers, as far as I am able.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
A new build with updated sources is online now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Sanj3k:
And what do you suggest us to get bln working?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Bln is not working due to decisions by the CM team. The modifications for the build are not so complex but without a maintainer status for the S4 Mini, I am not sure about the acceptance by the Pac man team.

In that connection, I am looking forward to having an reply soon.

In Pac man ROM 4.4 should be the bln support integrated again. Yesterday I build nearly the whole evening but I had to much errors to get any working version. In that we have to wait for the beta versions. Then will also the limits for the distribution of the alpha versions loose.

Beside the points before, I like active display much more than bln. First, it is already part of the ROM, second I will get much more information as by the button led and third with right setup, I do not have any heavy battery consumption.

But the decision will be up to you. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Fine, that you also like this rom.

I don't know.

Within the settings - General User Interface you have an item for that.

Press to the application name and a new dialog for selecting the right app will come.

I do not understand, what your matter is because I am able to setup the sound volume separately for the music, the calls such as the loudspeaker. For that, I changed the volume panel style to "Expanded". I hope that this will help you with your problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Sanj3k:
Quick question, so I know want to try out active display :) and it seems pretty difficult when I get an message on viber nothing happens, but when I get a sms then it shows up and only some seconds is that it? ... So where is like an option to add apps, which can activate the active display? to the show up only a few seconds it also seems there only exists a maximum of 25 seconds... With BLN it was like forever and when the buttons lighted for an hour it cost like 1% so almost nothing at all :( Very strange alternative to BLN :( :( but please give ma a hint how to add other apps :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] user1829:
thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] 96DANGER96:
S view cover support?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
For my use, active display fits my demands, but you are right, the setup is tricky.

First I setup the notifications in the miscellaneous section. When the limit for the messages is too low you will not get all. Here you have to consider, that there are many kinds to place notifications and active display will not take care for all. :(

I have the normal notifications in use.

In active display, I have all notifications and hide low priority marked.

For the time out, were in old builds also longer settings then 25 seconds possible. Why this had been changed, I don't know.

I will take a look to modify the kernel to support bln. If this will really would work, I have to see.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Please try yourself and provide feedback.

In my eyes, I don't see any benefit in s view. In addition, I do not like most of the Samsung apps. Therefore I don't take care but you are welcome. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Sanj3k:
Somehow with your setup, for example when I get a message in Viber nothing happens :D

Limit of notifications: 5, checked all notifications in active display settings and of course enabled it... Very strange :( Because for example for SMS it works...

Seems that I will have to wait for BLN :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
I'm in progress with implementing the BLN support but as far, I am not satisfied. Until BLN works fine;I'm going ahed and update the sources without BLN support on at least weekly base.

I take also a look to the 4.4 sources, where the BLN support is implemented by default.

I'm not sure, which option will be faster but we will see. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
I've been using CM for ages, got bored felt like flashing lol, tried slim unofficial but didn't feel right, few bugs, currently on carbon, always loved carbon but I'm finding it's causing WiFi problems, my signal isn't as great as it was with CM, also battery is draining faster compared to CM, so was thinking of going back to CM but searched and found this thread.

I've never experienced PAC before, all the others I've mentioned I've used in the past on other devices, so I've just downloaded this but my battery is low so I'm not going to flash it atm, but will do tomorrow, I've noticed regular current updates on this, so that's good, I've downloaded the latest build, will flash tomorrow and report back on how this is and any findings, always looking forward to flashing new ROMS lol thanks for the port, I do feel this device has been left out from much development but don't know why, it's a lovely lil device, I've got S3 and S4 but I use this as my main device, hope the OP keeps developing, thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] user1829:
can this be explained? am i the only one getting this:

it happens on several applications, including messaging and calls!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Ok, so I flashed this, but for me, I didn't like it, the main reason why, was the animations, slide in, drop down, fade out, hurts the eyes, there's no option to select "none" only default, tested it out for 2 hours, got a headache, went back to CARBON.

Hope to see future builds of this with no animations option! Apart from that was ok but for me personally I like carbon better, was nice to try this thou.

Thanks for your hard work and support

My favorite ROM has to be CARBON now, followed by SLIM then CM, this ROM looked promising with all these combined but unfortunately the animation movement killed it for me

Sent from my GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Sorry to hear, that you are back to CARBON. The animation matters were already cleared as described in post 21 - default behavior and post 22 when Nova launcher is in use. It is only a question of configuration. Mayby will you go back to PAC-MAN.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
There could be many reason, that you had got this kind of internal crash. Do you have more information to analyse?

- Which build you have used?

- In which way you have restored your apps and data?

- Do you have any logfiles for further check?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
It was all stock launcher, never had nova installed, the default animations I mean like going from settings and sub menus options etc etc, pressing a button example quick tiles, then it will slide down from that menu into tile options, pressing back it will slide left etc...

CARBON ROM 4.3.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
In PAC-Man forum, information was posted, that with this weekend, PAC 4.4 is expected, when everything goes fine. http://forum.pac-rom.com/Thread-PAC-4-4--471

When the updated sources are available, I will go ahead with building for the S4 Mini. In the 4.4. tests, I run in the past, I had a lot of errors, so that a running build, I never got.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Don't restore system apps from previous ROMS or data, just the apps, i found this generally to be the best thing when flashing onto a DIFFERENT ROM then the current one your on, example from CM to PAC, but if your going from PAC to PAC, it's still recommended never to restore system apps or data

Sent from my GT-I9195 CARBON ROM 4.3.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] user1829:
ahhh, i see!

so using Titanium i choose "restore missing apps with data" instead of "restore all apps with data"?

i will reflash PACMAN and restore apps like this?

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
For getting log files, I use aLogcat. It is pretty smart and simple. Errors are highlighted in red.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
No, just install apps without data and exclude system apps

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
I can only agree kamikaze702k.

There are differences in the internal structure and during the restore, will data placed at the wrong location. Be careful, when you restore data. At the SMS and WLAN restore, please choose the XML option. Then will it be better and you avoid further problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Please be careful with the release from Monday. I have noticed problems with the status bar and the keyboard settings.

During the day, I lost the status bar and a reboot is needed.

The keyboard settings will go back to the default settings and I have to switch back manually.

I will check further.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
The problems with the keyboard were caused by my limitations in the access control. The status bar matters should be fixed by the updated release today.

trying now

well im about to try this rom and i hope it goes over the top of cyan-mon 11 good rom but cant get any google apps i need for it and its pain looking but lets see how this one goes
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Pac-man 4.3 is based on CM 10.2 and when you try to install above, you will get a lot of problems and I do not believe that your mobile will runs fine.

The better decision would be to perform a factory reset and install afterwards. Then you will loose all data but you will start with a clear system

How to do:

1. Download the rom, you will find in the download section in this threat

2. Download the Google apps, you will find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387878

3. Check that both downloads are on the external storage and not at the internal

4. Run backup of the apps you will use further with the old data

! Please take care that for system tools are backups not recommend!

! For SMS and phone list, use XML backup functions which can be restored easier!

5. Run a full NAND-backup

6. Perform factory reset

7. Install PAC-man-ROM

8. Install Google apps

9. restart and when you will be asked for fix root access, please confirm

10. restore and re-install missing apps and data

11 enjoy PAC-man-ROM

Hallo

First of all this is a great rom and great work. But I have a problem or bug with this and with a CM 10.2 rom. Im coming from a stock 4.2.2. rom and after flashing when i have mobile internet connection can't recive calls and cant' send a call. Maybe on the second time. I tride several APN settings and sim card's. When i use APN settings with data, have no call's, switchig of mobil data, call's working fine, but no internet.Any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
The problems can be caused by mismatch of configurations. A detailed check is really tricky because there could be many reasons.

Has you wiped the phone after flash? Reset to factory defaults, cache and Dalvik?

The best choice is run a backup of non system apps, clean up and setup again and restore as far as really needed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Whosat:
APN should not affect calls as its meant for data communications. Did you try a clean flash and then test? It could be an app causing it or old files (remember to wipe cache)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] colonado:
Thanks for answers. I did everythig was written in the first post . wiped dalvik, cache, format System, And the issue was there befor i restore anya ap.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] impactor:
I am curious why not upgrade this rom to 4.4. There apparently is S4 mini PacMan based on KitKat, as evidenced here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2680185

The problem is the other ROM at the moment it is quite useless because it breaks Modem so no phone functionality.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] impactor:
Is there some working custom kernels for this rom yet? The rom is great, but the kernel not so much. The BLN is important, but more important is low frequency range.

It would be great to get a k4 kernel working on it, but as it is now, the phone won't boot after flashing it on Pac-Rom (tested on both 4.3 and 4.4 Pac-Rom).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Ezylife:
There is an easy fix for the modem problems, in the post you quote.

F4k's kernel works fine for me.

Just have to let the phone boot once with default kernel then install F4k's,

I have pac 4.4 with F4k's kernel as my daily driver.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
Under which circumstances do you have this behaviour? I haven't seen before and when you have further information or log files, it would be easier to analyse and/or go ahead.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
First, this is a PAC-MAM 4.4 problem, which still has the Alpha Status. This build has been made automatically and can run fine or with a lot of problems. You had the problems. :p

In the log, I can see, that 4.2.2 parts are in use. Why I do not know but they should not be there.

I hope that you made a full backup before or at least have you backup your data. As long as the recovery mode is working, you havnt't bricked you phone.

Take an external SD and copy a valid and known working S4 mini release on it. Enter recovery mode and perform factory reset and install the release afterwards. Then can you start from the scratch.

If this will not work, then we have further options, like the delete of the whole ROM at the phone before you install again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] munnibhai:
Hello...

I can't provide and logs or even any screen shot because of not being able to do anything without keyboard.

1. The error "the Android keyboard has stopped working" pops up and vanished automatically ayer every time there was any need of keyboard.

2. Back and menu buttons didn't work too. Just the home button to go back to home screen.

3. I forgot to mention the nightly build earlier but that was the latest one that day. Can't remember which one exactly.

I did a clean install, wiped the data and cache and dalvik cache too, 2 time but all same.

This is really a nice rom, I wish it had a stable release for I9195 LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gremly:
First a short remark. The Pac 4.3 builds are pretty stable and real problems I haven't seen since many weeks.

The 4.4 builds has still the alpha status and may cause problems. Therefore exist a separate thread.

I assume that you have a mismatch of different releases on your phone.

A solution I will post later because I have to test before.

I had the same problem with if I remember well enough with Liquidsmooth rom or what its name.. anyway I was just trying to flash some other custom roms cause i had some problems with my wifi connection, liquid was just a try, but had wifi problems with that as well so I turned to this rom and after i realized the wifi issue was just with my home wifi, i let it be on my phone (Pacman 4.3.1), if you have any keyboard problems with this rom try several updates maybe one of them will be good enough with no keyboard problem and after doing a backup on that rom/update wait for the future-coming updates and try them as well, if not then you have to try another rom. :/ :)

For some reason he text size is extremely small in gmail and the aosp browser with this ROM. I have tried different versions of these apps and had the same problem. Increasing the font size in system settings helps a little bit but makes everything else in android too large.

Oooooh got it, fixed! I had no idea I could set the DPI independently per application. That is awesome. I have one more question however.

Sometimes the signal is dropped. No data no calling out...nothing. I have narrowed this down to the the minimal dBm threshold being set too low. What I mean is that Android seems to allow the signal to become too weak before it switches the network mode to something with stronger signal. The signal should not go weaker than -110 dbm. However it goes as low as -125dbm before android decides to downgrade to a different mode with stronger signal. I can't get any data or even call out when the signal goes below -115dbm.

Is there any way to change the weakest dbm threshold for the network mode switching??

Shame on me, didn't try this option. When connected via usb the recovery just didn't start for some reason, I thought I damaged it as well.
