Gmail Sync issues

Gmail/Inbox app won't push emails in real-time and at times when I check sync settings it's stuck rotating but sometimes it's not and simply not pushing emails but they are in the inbox when I check

- Paranoid Android Alpha 5.0

- Franco K70

- Latest Gapps

Any clues?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bastafari:
1. Posting the same question in two different ROM threads should tell you its probably something you did, like flashing a custom kernel.

2. Its been said that some kernels break things like theme engine.

3 Thank you for bringing to attention that Franco kernel may have broken push notification in android 5.0 you probably helped someone else who may have the same problem as you.

4 Probably should post in Franco kernel thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paragon_X:
I did post in Franco thread as honestly I wasn't sure where the issue lies. But thank you for your input, just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else had a similar issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shinesthru:
If you flash a custom kernel, your best bet before posting bugs in the rom thread is to flash the kernel that shipped with the rom and test. If you still have the bug, then report it to the official PA bug tracker, because the team doesn't track issues in this forum. Good luck.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ricola1989:
Which theme are you running?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] phin586:
This has been rock solid. Far more solid then stock. Great job guys!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kevtrysmoddin:
That looks like deep darkness
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ryanbmw51:
Thanks a lot for the input!!!

I actually just had to return to stock and start over. Kind of rough since I lost SMS and lots of other data but I'm dealing and moving on. Went ahead did a clean install/setup of beta 4 and its all set. Looking and running good. Going to stay away from Google dialer for now. Maybe pa will implement it officially in the future. Not really a feature I need to survive.

Kind of feels good everything being fresh and clean though. After the revert I mean.

Thanks again.

Still has no pie and hybrid ui? Then why PA?

Why not ...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] scandalousk:
I don't think the google dialer is included in the PA gapps package. As far I as I know they use the aosp dialer. Unless they've changed that in the recent gapps releases.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
has anyone noticed that the built in custom notification LED works sporadically?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
on b4? didn't notice it on b3 and (for now) didn't notice it on b4, but running it only for few hours..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
yup, b4. Wanted to see if anyone else noticed it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
well there is one change merged on gerrit as far as I can see, will observer more closely and report back :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
Awesome :) hopefully it's just a placebo... I will keep an eye out today too as I get more emails/txts
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cskamoskva:
Super excited for Beta 4. I'm so happy to see quick updates like this. Beta 3 was rock solid for me, I would have reported any issues, but I didn't have any!

Recently switched from my HTC One, to a Nexus 5. Gotta say, Paranoid Android I can't wait for more. Will report any issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tsoby:
How does xposed framework gravity box work with PA?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cskamoskva:
So does anyone know if Beta 4 includes the Bionic and Dalvik optimization code referenced above already?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nibrwr:
I've noticed it. Thought it was just me. I can't reproduce it because the hit/miss is so sporadic
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
It uses regular dalvik.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cskamoskva:
Awesome, thank you for the quick reply.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
Yup, I just turned my screen on and had an email - but the LED was not flashing... :confused:

Guess it is a bug...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexuus:
Worked perfectly, thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blinqipa:
What was that special thing that was being baked for us,op?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Alternative for Google dialer :-

Open source google dialer (AOSP) with non intrusive mode and fixed full screen caller picture .

Also has nearby places and caller id by Google .

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy4w8o4qvg1970f/Dialer.apk

Push into /system/priv-app/ then chmod 755 and reboot .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marf28101995:
Yes
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] apocalypserisin:
I think this is an issue with LP in general, before I switched back to LP PA I was on cataclysm 5.01, and I had the same issue. I just got the Nine email app off the playstore and it it pushes correctly.

Edit: was on elementalX kernel when I was having push issues with the stock apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
You need to configure it if you want to get notified about received mails. Go to Gmail>Settings>click on your gmail, then scroll down and enter "Manage Labels". Now you will see all available labels, click on them and configure them as you want :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] M1cky:
Anyone know if navbar height is adjustable? Very tempted to flash but that is a deal breaker for me. The stock navbar just takes up to much screen real estate for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ast00:
There is no feature that allows you to make it smaller, but there never was in PA. However, you can find the solution by using the search button.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paragon_X:
Cheers mate. It's a weird issue to have but I'll just wait out the next update from PA and Franco.

[MENTION=2775921]Pirateghost[/MENTION]

Paranoids heads up support only apps have it natively integrated in or all apps like slim?

Thx for answering
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ashwin988:
On the other hand, code blue kernel works like a charm with no issues what so ever. I believe it's because that kernel supports cm12
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kaydin:
Anyone else having trouble with APN resetting ONLY after two reboots? APN change determines availability of 4G on my network (Orange Romania). It doesn't appear like the APN changed, but I have to reset to default the list of APNs and select the one in there again to get 4G.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HdSht:
Hello guys :). Is there a way to remove theme engine ?

Because I use a kernel that supports only stok\aosp. Ty :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Blac Caesar:
You sure you're not using a CM kernel? If it's an AOSP kernel, it should work fine with PA.. since PA is an AOSP ROM
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
Well, no. You can't exactly remove it, but the fact that the theme engine is in the ROM doesn't change the fact that the ROM is in fact, based on aosp. It is not a cm based ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HdSht:
theme engine is implemented by cm in the kernel if I'm not wrong. In fact I sometimes have some crashes of theme engine itself ;).

---------- Post added at 06:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

I'm using stock\aosp based kernel and everything works fine..but when install apps from play store or rebooting i have some fcs of theme engine so I suppose it's due to incompatibility :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] luisangel89:
If you're using Franco you're going to get FCs. This was already explained. I think Francisco Franco is aware and it's up to him to update his kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Blac Caesar:
I would suggest clean flashing then, n see if you still get the FCs
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
No, cm didn't implement the theme engine in the kernel. The problem is with sepolicy, which has been worked around by most of the kernel devs. We were discussing with Franco for the last couple of days what to do to fix the issue with his kernel.

We warned users about custom kernels and the new theme engine...

Just wait to use a custom kernel until the issue has been resolved or wait to use the ROM...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HdSht:
Thank you all for your quick replies :).

I'm running on Mirage kernel (nexus 4) which doesn't mess up with sepolicy or alters in any way the behaviour of stock kernel. And if PA didn't modify the kernel maybe I'll just have to assume that this rom is still in Alpha stage so bugs are present :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] doggie13_:
Smoothest rom on xda but with worst battery life :/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
our kernel is straight STOCK, we don't modify it. You say you are on nexus 4, but this is the nexus 5 thread. :|

if you like stock kernel, just stay with what we provide, it is unmodified stock kernel.

oh? I always find battery comments absolutely subjective and it is all based on too many factors. There is nothing in the rom that would drain the battery any faster than stock... or any other rom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HdSht:
...I feel so dumb :( ..Don't know why but I thought it was the general thread about PA..still u have answered to my doubts and thank you for that :angel:.

There's one minor issue; The account picture can't be changed however small the crop is. Can live without it anyway :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Akath19:
That's on your end, I've changed mine at least 3 times since last week, all on PA

u need to change it via g+ photo app.. otherwise it won't change
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BigUps:
I'm hoping someone can help me out. After flashing PA (which I love) I'm having some odd battery issues. My phone is dying with around 50% battery left. It's odd. I plug my phone in after it dying and when it reboots it says I have 50% battery left.

I assume I just need to calibrate my battery, but I don't really know how too. I tried the app Battery Calibration and it didn't help.

One other thing, when flashing PA I did a full wipe, so that shouldn't be a concern.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
There is no such thing as a battery calibration

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BigUps:
Thanks for the reply PirateGhost. Got any ideas of what I could do?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eddiehk6:
I would first backup and flash a different ROM and see if you get the same issue, though I predict it should be the same.

Ultimately you should backup and flash back to stock and rule out software from the equation. If you get battery issues on full stock no root, then you have a hardware issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ast00:
Some older phones did need battery calibration. My old Galaxy Mini actually did benefit from doing it. And phones before the Li-Ion/Li-Po.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 350Rocket:
The nexus one and HTC desire needed it. There was a root app to do it. Battery would shut off at 30% before calibration. I haven't heard of it since then.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
Right, but this is a thread for the Nexus 5 and that type of hardware/technique isn't the same as it used to be
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] phin586:
anyone want to recommend some dark themes that work well for this?

help anyone ?

i am guessing i need to reflash from scratch with alpha 1 ..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
Did you actually do a factory reset before updating to 5.0? As was indicated you should do in the change log and the release announcement?

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tattedupboy:
I don't know if I can call this a "bug" or not, so for the time being, I'll just refer to it as an "issue." Anyway, I've used nothing but Lollipop ROMs since October or November, and last month, I got a message from T-Mobile alerting me that my 5 GB tethering data allotment had been exceeded. It's not just with this ROM, but with every Lollipop ROM. How can this be? Granted, I do use a LOT of data every month (over 40 GB most months), but this was something I never worried about previously because my phone is unlocked, not tied to a particular carrier, and I thought that if it was rooted and running a custom ROM, the carrier couldn't detect tethering. Any way I can continue tethering without T-Mobile being able to detect it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danbrown162:
I'm told this ROM now has the function that volume controls control media sound only. Is this true? Last time I checked paranoid could not do this! Ta
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Circaflex:
This has nothing to do with paranoid android and has been an issue dating back to kit kat. There is a build prop tweak you need to implement and an adb command/sql edit. It is widely documented so a google search will get you the info. You get the message because tmobiel plans only allow 5gb of tethering, your old roms went around this so you wouldn't get the message, it isn't a bug.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Noob911:
Sorry ghost I didn't mate .. All sorted .. Sorry for being dumb ass haha .. One question tho .. How do I change the colour of the writing below icons in the start menu .. The back round is white and the writing is also white lol

Ta

Steve
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ast00:
It should be black. I mean it is for me and I guess for everyone else.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Noob911:
Probably because I'm using apex launcher :( .. Fair enough ..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] relax24:
I have my GPS on High Accuracy mode all the time. It's the way I've always had it on PA. Does anyone else notice that every time you switch your screen on, and unlock the phone, the gps icon goes on for a second then goes off?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d1n0x:
That's probably Play Services. Have you enabled Smart Lock with trusted location? Or Google Now?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] relax24:
Nope, and google now is disbaled.

Also, I installed AppOps, and the apps using location are:

ES file Explorer - Not sure why this needs location? There are no settings to turn any location off

System UI

Dialler - Why does this need location? I've turned off local business features etc

Google Play Services

Android System
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d1n0x:
That's weird. I always found ES File Explorer kind of sketchy, it asks for a lot of permissions and palces weird folders in the internal storage.

System UI I think is normal, when I look into AppOps it always shows up as "running" for some reason, but it's always been like that IIRC.

Dialer I can only imagine uses it for the lookup stuff, but since you have it disabled it shouldn't do that. Try disabling Location in App Ops.

Google Play Service is needed for Maps etc.

Your best bet might be to disable Location for these apps one by one and see if it changes anything. (Don't change Play Services)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ast00:
Of course it shows running! If it wasn't running you wouldn't have a status bar and a navigation bar.. As for it asking for location, it's Google. They don't need a reason.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crian:
Can't wait for a new alpha build, because theme engine isn't up to date with the newest cm12 themes around.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
The PA team is generally on a weekly release cycle but it can sometimes be done every other week. With it being so early in the alpha process though, they might skip 2-3 weeks on builds unless there are significant changes
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Circaflex:
There is no current schedule. The team has yet to decide on that, yes previously it was a weekly basis. If you have the ability to build yourself, the theme issue is fixed on gerrit.

Im going to try and crank out a build for hammerhead, PM me if you want it. Should be ready in the next hour or two (my upload sucks)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
Do you(or anyone else) have the details needed to build your own PA from source? I've been dabbling in this for CM12 and I guess I am looking for the .git file location as well as the local_manifest.xml file
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] phin586:
I cannot wait for the next build! :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
It's right there on our github. Manifest readme explains how to build

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Circaflex:
This link provides you with the necessary information: https://github.com/AOSPA/manifest

assuming you have a build environment already setup:

mkdir ~/bin

PATH=~/bin:$PATH

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo

chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

mkdir ~/aospa/system

cd ~/aospa/system

repo init -u https://github.com/AOSPA/manifest -b lollipop

repo sync

./rom-build.sh DEVICE (replace device with device codename, so nexus 5 is hammerhead)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
Thanks for the help guys. I started the build and it downloaded the dozens of GB worth of files, started the build but then it errored out

You need java 7 to build

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
Would that be the "sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk" command?

I do that have that installed

Desktop-Linux:~/storage/paranoid$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
openjdk-7-jdk is already the newest version.

edit - I think I got it. I just found a guide that said to do this

"“sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer”"

So now I'm trying to build the ROM again. Sorry for all the noob questions

edit 3 - alright. After going through a ton of troubleshooting I am finally seeing java 1.7 instead of 1.6 when i do a java -version. testing the build again and crossing my fingers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] phin586:
You need to make sure you use update-alternatives to ensure you are pointing to the correct version of Java. Seems you found it, though. ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
Yuss, it finally built properly(thank you for all of your help everyone), and it flashed to my Nexus 5 perfectly.

As a side question, I know PA only officially supports Nexus devices and the 1+1, but I've been seeing a couple of threads for you guys in the LG G3 forums. When things start rolling out, will building for the G3 be as easy with this ROM with a simple "./rom-build.sh d850" command? Or is that when things get a little complicated and a custom local_manifests will be needed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
You would need legacy source for that. So no, you couldn't just issue a rom-build command from the source you are currently using.

You would have to set up another build Dir, sync legacy source, fix up your manifests and room service and build.

The G3 might get support from legacy which means you could just issue rom-build from that source and it would take care of that for you, but the legacy guys haven't decided yet if it's going in the mix.

HI [MENTION=2775921]Pirateghost[/MENTION] :)

I was just wondering is the next build going to be released when 5.1 comes out? Oh and have you planned out any new goodies for lollipop if you don't mind me asking :D

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pirateghost:
We will release another build as soon as we deem we have enough additions/fixes to release another version.

Do you really think I would divulge on our plans for features? Nein

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanjp:
I'm sorry haha. I'm still new to the nexus 5, so still learning
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ast00:
We don't even know when 5.1 rolls out. I mean it's already on devices somewhere else, but it's not available on Nexus devices and it's source code is also not available. Without that, nobody can build it and no developer is going to wait for it before building.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pep0te:
As the rest of PA ROMs, it works like a charm, and it's only Alpha. It's amazing. Xtreme hype with the next updates :D

Thanks [MENTION=2775921]Pirateghost[/MENTION] & the rest of the team.
