As a primer for myself for ROM modification and development, I'm currently (early) in the process of building PA 4.2 for the evita, and I had also seen elsewhere that brotherross was winding down on keeping up multiple ROMs, possibly just keeping PA. If I can personally test a build that's current up to the PA 4.2 b1 that just came out for officially supported devices, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

Also brotherross, I was in no way trying to muck up your topic, just chiming in that I am attempting to build the ROM too, using your awesome aospa_evita device tree, and that hopefully I would be able to help you keep up with PA official releases if I can get everything working properly. Thanks for keeping the Evita alive!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
Awesome dude! Id love to help if you need anything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Good deving guys. This ROM is sweet as heckle..only issue is soft reboot when force closing third part apps. Other than that...fast...stable. And super dope. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
I had some build errors related to the qcom wlan files (I hadn't synced enough times I guess haha, they weren't there), solved those, then had issues with the spn_conf and selective_spn_conf not existing, grabbed those from the CM repo and started the build again.

I'm a professional web developer for my dayjob so I've got an Ubuntu 13.10 VM setup on my workstation and the Terminal showing in Windows through VM Unity, and it's been building for somewhere around an hour now without erroring-out again, so I've got my fingers crossed to at least get some flashable output this time.

What kind of system were/are you building on? Just looking for a time-estimate on the build, I'm in a VM so I know it's definitely not optimal, but I could roughly guess it may take around two hours if it goes all the way through.

If I run into any problems that I can't figure out through a mix of Google/GitHub/XDA, I'll be sure to drop you a line via PM, I'm sure I will have some haha. Thanks for the vote of support!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Hey HTC One X / evita folks who are interested in Paranoid Android, I've got a build together as of last night that is running beautifully on my phone (which I rely on every day, dangerous development! haha).

Anyway, I am looking for a couple more people who would want to test the build out for a day or two before I post it for the public and take over updating this thread and the ROM. If you're interested, just PM me here on XDA or tweet @ me on Twitter (@cryptecks) and I'll get it to you. I'm really excited that my first time building a ROM went so well, there are only two tiny and inconsequential bugs as far as I've found.

There will be time for proper thanks later, but huge thanks to brotherross for the device tree bringup and the pointers along the way. I'm hoping to hear from some Evita users soon and just confirm that it's flashing and running well for people, then I'll get my build up on this thread ASAP!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oranget:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Replies sent to the few people I've gotten so far, I wouldn't mind at all sending it to some more, so if anyone else is interested feel free to PM me, I think I'll post the build I have tomorrow sometime, and then I'll try to resync and build another one for the next official PA weekly release.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pandasa123:

Download PA 4.2 Beta 1 now!

Okay everybody, here it is. Until brotherross and I get the thread transferred over (or I make a new one, still undecided), this post is where to find the latest build.

Paranoid Android 4.2 - Beta 1

Build date: March 24th, 2014

Some of the new stuff

hboot 2.18 supported

Charging LED now working

Paranoid Android 'Lightbulb' app, tile, and widget now working

Instructions:

Follow the current OP: clean flash if coming from another ROM, Gapps as you see fit (Banks or PA).

Deficiencies due to not being an

official

PA build:

PIE hasn't had its source released by the PA team yet into the public repository, so it is obviously not included.

^ The same for the new Peek feature (which I am very anxious to try out honestly)

(The PA team says that both of these will go public in the repos in the next couple/few weeks, after they have most of the kinks worked out on official devices, at which time we'll see how they work on the Evita, and hopefully get them built as soon as the sources are out.)

All credits, thanks, and links from the OP I'll keep from copying here, so in short:

Thanks to brotherross for the device tree bringup for Evita and for being my adviser through this process

OK. Clean flashed this. Running good and can confirm charge light is working. Will keep ya posted. Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pandasa123:
This is PA 4.1 BETA 1
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Beta 2 has been posted in the OP! For those of you who hate Dev-Host, I will always try to put mirrors from Mediafire at the bottom of the OP, and also past versions.

Various bugfixes, updates to the Dialer from CM, the QS 'Sound' tile is back, and of course, PIE 2.0!

It's more than a little pointless on the Evita with hardware buttons, but the new implementation of it is very clean and nice regardless.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
I'm very happy to report that after talking it over with some of the Paranoid Android Legacy guys, it was swiftly decided to make the HTC One X / evita one of the OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED LEGACY DEVICES! This just means quicker access to the features that are coming to the Official PA devices (non-legacy), and better support for myself in developing.

A re-build of Beta 2, with PEEK INCLUDED, is coming soon!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
Dude that is awesome!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Should we clean flash this cryp?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
For the time being, PLEASE DON'T FLASH THE BUILD IN THE AOSPA-LEGACY DOWNLOADS SECTION!, we're just waiting on a fixed build to be put out before it's ready to go. It's not the end of the world if you do, you'll just be stuck at the HTC boot screen...trust me haha.

Sorry about that, I'll be sure to post here once the build is well and truly working, should only be a couple of hours tops.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
OK. I downloaded the beta 2. I will delete it. Thx again cryp

What do I do if it says update available beta 2?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Okay everyone, the OP has been updated with a new build which includes Peek!

The issues with the initial build have been fixed, and we should be good to go moving forward with the PA release cycle.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Do we do the ota on paranoid ota in settings, or just download on op?

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

How do we access blur?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
They're both the same build, so do what you're comfortable with, I personally just always flash things myself, but the OTA should work fine as long as it grabs the 3/27 build.

Check the change logs for info on how to access features.. Lock screen blur is on Settings > Security > See Through
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Peek isn't working :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pandasa123:
Do you have a log? Since it's a new feature, we need all feedback and logs
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:

Okay with the reboot its fixed..but it only comes on once..without touching device..then I move phone and IT won't activate
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Did you read the info about the feature? Mine is working fine here, once you hear a notification go off, you have 10 seconds to move the device to see Peek, otherwise it will just not show. There are definitely still some kinks to work out, but it's been working great for me since last night.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
I understand.. Thanks. I did read it. I was also told that it will reactivate when device is touched or moved
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
Someone told you wrong, it doesn't reactivate. You have a 10 second window and that's it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Maybe I'm thinking active display.......?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Thanks brotherross! And that's the intended functionality, they're still tuning but it seems to be pretty consistent.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
You could be thinking any number of things, including AcDisplay, but Peek won't reactivate like that.

I hope everything else is working well for you!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Yes..it is very sweeeeet!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oranget:
Does PA do weekly builds? Just curious i know each dev team is different. Rom running great so far!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Yes weekly, a couple days behind main PA. Be sure to read over everything on the Legacy G+: https://plus.google.com/communities/103106032137232805260

and this post from PA: https://plus.google.com/+ParanoidAndroidCorner/posts/VcD8eB7KSD6

I need to update the OP with those links, but yeah, we're going to try.

Edit: OP updated
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Rom is running good. No more reboots when closing apps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
It's still running good.. Just really bad battery drain. I have not many apps so I know that that isn't the case. I will try 384 and 1200 on performance

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Let me know if this paste will show you something

http://pastebin.com/zsESpNbF
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
You need to give a ROM at least a few days and a couple of charge cycles during daily use before you can start making judgement about battery life, your phone does a lot of checking, syncing, and staying awake in the first couple days after a flash.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Yeah. That's what I figured. It's been two days so far. Don't get me wrong this ROM is really sweet just thought I would let you know

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Do you think that I should use the default settings on performance before I change the settings?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
And just by Googling 'playlog.service.PlayLogBrokerService' I discovered within a few minutes that you have Location Reporting turned on.. And/or Facebook not Greenified. Turn off reporting and Greenify Facebook, and Google is your friend!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Lol. Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

My location services is off.. Hmm... Odd
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Maybe try to clean flash if it's still giving you issues after settling in for a little while, or get BetterBatteryStats going and get a log on their thread on XDA, they're excellent over there at diagnosing battery issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
OK cool. Another thing.. I don't have fb on my phone. Haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] G4 Man2:
I recently switched from brotherross' latest build to this and the only bad thing I can say about it is that battery drain seems to be much higher, I'm using the same apps and services and I'm seeing approx 42% higher battery drain.

I'll wait a few more days and see if this gets better. I also want to ask if anyone else is getting random drops of service ? The only way I can get reconnected is to reboot the device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Hmm, there really isn't any difference now other than there is more up-to-date PA code incorporated. You can of course give it a couple of days, but that drain sounds out of the ordinary, so I think that a clean flash would be the best way to move forward trying to figure out what's going on. Also check the usual suspects: Location Reporting, NFC, Google Now settings, etc.

Then charge it up to 100, make sure there's no apps or anything running in the background, and get BetterBatteryStats installed, then just leave the phone to idle (full directions in the BBS thread on XDA) and try to track down exactly what service or app is causing it.

I truly think that clean flashing + fixing permissions in recovery would solve the issue though. I clean flashed the first build to come from the AOSPAL buildbot because of possible differences between my virtual machine and an actual server, and I haven't seen any of these battery drain issues that you guys are talking about. Also check your Peek settings. The PA team fixed up quite a few wakelocks with it for this Beta, but you never know, it could be keeping you from deep sleep or something (again that could be due to not clean flashing, if you didn't).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] G4 Man2:
Well my first attempt at dirty flashing your build from brotherross' ended up with strange lag so I ended up clean flashing. I have location reporting off, device manager off, voice listening on Google now off, also NFC off. One thing I forgot is that I haven't switched to ART yet on this build. So for now I'll just assume it's dalvik plus how recently I flashed the ROM causing issues. I will try BetterBatteryStats though. Thanks for the help and thanks for getting Official PA on the Evita! :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
That sounds like a good plan. Once the ROM has settled and if you are still noticing the issue, head to the BBS thread and follow the directions there for getting a good log reading EXACTLY, at least then we'll know where to look for the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Do I need xposed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
I'm pretty sure something changed in KitKat in relation to the access to Battery Stats, and one of the easiest ways around it is to use the Xposed Module that "re-unlocks" those stats. As long as that's the only module you download and install you shouldn't see any ill effects from PA, but yes, that's going to be the best way to get legitimate numbers from BBS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
OK. Thanks very much
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Got this on logcat... I'm running pa beta 7. Can't find op for this ROM..thanks cryp
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
You need to clean (or at the very least dirty) flash the build from the OP. There are links next to "Install ROM" in the instructions in the first post, and mirrors at the bottom of the post.

The "Beta 7" was one of my first builds...ever, and could have some issues for all I know. The new build and going forward are coming from an official PA buildbot.

I'm pretty sure Estrongs is ES File Manager though..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Well this build rocks

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I seen fatal signal 13 and was wondering what it meant.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
I'm not doing to be able to provide support if you're not using the newest version of the ROM and the same one as myself. If the build rocks, then great.. but if you're seeing battery drain, then it doesn't rock, and you need to upgrade.

The fatal signal you see there has literally no other information with it, so I have no idea what it could be, there's no way to tell when the only info is a thread number..

If you're seeing battery drain, upgrade, I really don't understand.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Sorry. I do appreciate your help. I will flash the newest. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Once i run bbs, are u wanting to see the results?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Yeah you can post it here, but you'll probably find much more skilled help by first searching the BBS thread here on XDA to see if your culprit is already talked about or just posting your log there. I will, of course, take a look too, but I don't have as much experience with the logs as the people in the thread for the app itself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] G4 Man2:
I'm experiencing the exact opposite, it's hard to hear what anyone is saying unless I plug in earphones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Same here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
That's pretty strange, I've noticed that my phone earpiece was loud, but bumping the volume down a couple of notches is enough to take care of it. I'm not sure what would even cause the issue. You guys aren't using any audio mods are you? I don't even know which ones are still around... Viper? Yeah get rid of all that if you have it. We're going to have a fresh build out in the next couple of days (on schedule, right behind main PA), and we can see if it takes care of any of the problems.

For G4Man 2, I've heard from dozens of people on this device's forums that small bits of dirt and dust can get stuck in the holes in front of the earpiece, making the volume noticeably quieter. I'm not saying it's that, but taking a CLEAN toothbrush or something to it seems to be the way to get it loud again...maybe too loud!

This latest version of the ROM (built the 27th) has over 180 downloads, which I think is decent, so hopefully we get more and more users to get in here and report bugs and the like.

How are your two's battery drain issues going? (@ ChrisB and G4Man)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chris281987:

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Idk about battery drains....after downloading that xposed, it seemed to mess up my device so I went ahead and did a clean install...all running good now. I will report in a few days about drainage as I reflashed the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] G4 Man2:
Thanks for the tip. After testing some more I don't think it was my phone causing the issue, just a combination of my grandfather holding his phone upside down and my girlfriend using an old iPhone :P I guess I was just calling the wrong people. It does seem a little loud on the top setting but it can definitely be taken care of by turning it down a little, not sure that's a bug.

After switching back to ART and giving it a couple days its been a lot better. After looking at battery stats it's not getting as good battery life as before but pretty close, I came up with the assumption that it's peek causing the slight battery life dip than the old builds. But the huge difference I had when I first flashed was probably just me needing to break in the ROM. Again, Thanks for the work on our devices!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:

Question.. If I download update via paranoid Ota, could I reboot recovery and do a clean flash? Last time I did that on my inspire from a nightly, I had issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Beta 3 has been added to the OP! You should hopefully also see it in the OTA app if you want to go that route. Not a ton of new stuff this week, but some welcome bug fixes for sure.

I don't think that the PA OTA app does the "delta" downloads, where it just gets the different files from one update to the next, OTA downloads the whole ROM from Goo. So if you know where the app put that file (or just look in a file manager), then yes, you should be able to clean flash that from recovery. Check the md5 of the file OTA grabbed against the md5 I always put in the OP, just to be sure.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] G4 Man2:
Probably shouldn't have tested it in the first place but the OTA and ART don't mix xD but if anyone does make that mistake, just flash an ART2Dalvik zip and you'll be golden :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] d3thstalker:
Got myself on BETA 3 and I don't see Peek anywhere. Not even under display settings. Is it just me or am I totally missing something? :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryptecks:
Wow, you're right... I'll see what I can do about getting it rebuilt, but for now Peek is definitely not in the build.

I know why (I think), but there's not a lot that I personally can do about it, in order to get the Peek code the build has to be built with certain ssh keys by certain people.
