I've installed this ROM and was looking for BLN option, according to Paranoid howto it should be in:

Settings -> Display -> Notification LED

but I don't see any option like this, can someone confirm that BLN is running? Why I don't have this option there?

Also is there any way to add profiles to Paranoid? The same that are in CM? I don't see anything like that in here.

AOSPA v4.42

Latest build is up. Builds were skipped last week due to compiling errors. This build is mostly a maintenance release. No major features were added; just some bug-fixing. However, Settings was restructured for legacy devices. Most of the device-specific/CM settings were moved to the Legacy Parts menu. On the kernel side, there are charger patches to allow an increase in charging speed and to allow deep sleep when charging.

I've been trying to update through the paranoid OTA from pa 4.42 to 4.43 but getting a blank screen after twrp installs the rom. Up-to-date on gapps and twrp. Any ideas? Thanks

Aside, 4.42 has been great. except for whenever listening to music and the screen turns off, music cuts out for a split second.

AOSPA v4.43 [Stable] & AOSPA v4.5-alpha1

This week we have two releases for you. First up is the v4.43 release which adds more stability to the 4.4 branch with a few bugfixes and ThemeEngine patches. We also have the v4.5-alpha1 release. This release includes a preview of the new recents menu, similar to the one in the Android L preview. You can see a demo of it by watching the video in the G+ post below. This is an alpha release so you may expect some issues with the new feature.

I also added back Advanced Settings with a few new settings. This can be found in the LegacyParts menu.

Thanks bryan2894 I was trying to install the 4.5 alpha. I came from cm11 did full wipe used latest philtouch cwm recovery but getting black screen after the Samsung logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jiijima:
bricked!

The latest ota has bricked my phone. I can't get it into recovery. When I attempt to boot (normal or recovery), it will take longer to vibrate once (about 10 seconds of holding the power button). Sometimes I see the Samsung logo flash briefly and go dead again (when attempting recovery) or it will vibrate a few more times and then go dead. I also got a dead battery animation briefly, but charging or switching to a charged battery does not make a difference in the outcome.

Is anyone else bricked with the latest ota? Not being able to get back into recovery is distressing me.

edit: [MENTION=3756476]primod808[/MENTION] have you had any luck fixing yours? I use the latest philz touch recovery as well.

edit: okay, panic resides. After reading some other comments here and re-reading the newbs forum on how to go into recovery, I realize that 4.43 has black screen/booting issues and also that I had the wrong button combo memorized to go into recovery (seriously feeling quite daft). I booted into recovery and flashed 4.42 since that is stable.

Flashed 4.43 then the new kernel... But same black screen result.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I am using the latest 6.48 /CWM V6.0.5.0 one and I haven't had a problem with flashing the 4.5 Alpha. I have the i727r so not sure if that is the reason why some people are having the black screen issue while I am not, but hopefully the problem can be narrowed down. I haven't needed to flash the newest kernel posted by [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] because of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryan2894:
One last test. Try flashing the kernel in the first link. If it doesn't work try the second. If neither works then this is most likely a user-related issue. Make sure your using the latest recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0 or Philz 6.48 /CWM V6.0.5.0.

Okay, the kernel in the first link did the trick. I'm using CWM V6.0.4.3 and had tried to upgrade from 4.42 to 4.43 but ended up with the blank screen. I just tried again, this time flashing the new kernel and it's booted and is upgrading as I type. I'll post back if I encounter any problems, I moved back to PA from Sultan's ROM mainly for Hover and have been so impressed with the battery that I haven't switched back. Thanks for all your work!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
I've never been a huge fan of PA and it really have never let it run on my good ole SR. I think this may have changed my mind. Ticks like a clock. Battery on the first day has been awesome. Nice and simple. Still trying figure it out and customize it, but really good job. Is there an option for quiet hours or anything. Really got used to that. If not I could always Tasker my way around it. That ms for keeping the SR alive for a bit longer. It has definitely out lived its expectancy and will run pretty close with the big boys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jackbandit73:
Just wanted to reconfirm kernel from the first link works like a charm. Thanks again for hashing it out!

And I second the great battery life on this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
I have no idea if this bug has been fixed on CM's side but are you able to switch to ondemand with this?

All these..well..two..comments of the battery life is enough to get my attention :laugh:.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I have never had that problem on PA or sultans ROM. It is only confined to stock CM kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Honestly, I've been so far out of the loop lately. I guess I thought PA used the cm kernel for whatever reason.

Anyways, thank you!

[MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION], is there anything that can be done in regards to bluetooth? Doesn't stay on and keeps dropping. I have no coding knowledge whatsoever so I'm of no help but I know Sultan has managed to make it work with his kernel.

Aside from the bluetooth issue, this is a great rom. The battery life is astonishing.

AOSPA v4.44 Stable / AOSPA v4.5-alpha2

We have another dual release today. First, off the v4.4x branch has been bumped up to v4.44. Nothing new except a couple of theme engine patches and the ability to hide the battery icon in the status bar. We also have today, v4.5-alpha2. This release has more improvements to the new recents menu. The clear all bug is still present. As a workaround for the button, you can use the navbar or PIE. Also, the black screen issue should be all fixed in today's release.

Builds are up. For the stable release there are just a few bug fixes and theme engine patches. For those who like the old style recents, you can now choose between the stock style recents and the new card stack style via the on-the-spot dialog. This is present in the alpha build. Today's releases also include improvements to bluetooth (credit to Sultanxda).

Ok guys I've been a long time lurker here and flashed a million roms from you guys. I need some basic help.

Last night I went out for a smoke and my phone fell out of my pocket. Death! Cracked from the bottom left to the top and a line across the soft keys.

now my question to you guys is. If the screen is still visible but the "touch" functions are non responsive, is it the digitizer thats broken? If so would I run into any problems trying to install a digitizer from a white one to my black one.

tldr; phone fell cracked screen. can see my home screen. no touch response. its the digitizer right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
The LCD/Digitizer Assembly are combined, sorry to say but you have to replace the entire screen. Costs about $100-150 for screen doesn't matter white or black. If you want a shop to repair it $200-250 after taxes. Just don't use Gopermods I shattered my black G2 and they replaced 4 screens because they couldn't do it properly and eventually refunded me with a screen that started working after a while. It costed $239.xx for me. I used the refund for a white one one eBay.

Actually if you don't mind waiting about a month turn around time LG may do it for about a $100-150. They won't give you a quote till they see it.

If my bootloader is still unlocked after the stock flash can I use flashify to flash recovery ? Or will that not work without the root access..

I suspect the preferred method is the fastboot flash recovery.img

As for why I did all that.. I couldn't access my internal storage anymore because of the twrp issue where on boot it asks for a password no one set because I didn't reboot bootloader during my initial root & recovery process..

Hello, this is my first thread. I am having a problem where every boot takes me to ClockworkMod Recovery. It all started after updating my android to snapshot M3 (something like that I forgot), left my phone on my bed, looked at it, and now I'm just stuck here. It reboots once where the galaxy s3 comes up and then after that it repeats but takes me to ClockworkMod Recovery. I cleared cache and factory and everything, but I'm still here. I rooted and flashed my phone once and that was the last time I ever did anything more than just getting cyanogenmod into my phone (I'm a beginner). When I tried to look into my backup folder, nothing was there and tried to look into the sdcard to find any .zip to install but nothing is there. How can I boot back to normal? Thank you very much.

Right now I have Clockwork Mod Recovery v6.0.3.1

[HTC Droid DNA] coolwiththecool2:
I am so serious about this I have been sitting here for 3 hours trying to find a way to unlock the bootloader without code, or terminal, or other stuff a non-coder would know. I have read about moonshine and some jcase exploit a bunch of other ones I forgot the names of. Windroid looked good but cant download and doesn't work on windows 8.1 or software 2.something

Mines is sadly still on 4.1.1 with software number 2.06 (whatever that is)

At this point all I am looking for is a way to unlock with one click or a way that won't have a ultra high risk of bricking my device if something as simple as a space or comma is left out of whatever it is. I'm not a noob at android or any other os but whatever hacking or software edits I've done never involved command terminal.

If there is no easy way to unlock the bootloader, I am going back to Samsung after being a Samsung person for 4 years, I never had to do this and I've gotten so use to installing custom roms I can't live without doing it....

[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
Rumrunner is what you want, good luck with 8.1, it does not like HTC drivers. There are several threads about both topics.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Use rumrunner.

It is rare to brick your device with it, and the good thing is you can always start over and get it working.

As far as command line knowledge, I have none, but the devs have put everything you need on "paper". Just copy and paste.

I'm not sure why you're doubting yourself or want a one-click method. First, I have no command line knowledge and have done a bunch of things as long as I follow the dev's instructions. Two, the only truely bricked DNAs I've seen ended up being hardware related.

So unlock that sucker and report back with your success. Use a Win7 computer.

This is a new take at improving Android and reducing GUI lag.

It's lightweight and won't consume battery. Users have reported drastic improvements in usability and battery life. It will show noticeable improvements.

All you need to try it is custom recovery. It is for all Android devices. ( not x86 ones ).

[Nexus 5 Accessories] lanwarrior:
When I had my Galaxy S4 Active with removable battery, I always carry a spare battery in my wallet. It's small enough and I don't want to carry my brick-sized Anker 10,000mAh battery. With the Nexus 5, I've been looking for a small,

credit-card sized external battery that fit my wallet

.

I found the Enerplex Jumpr Mini - it's exactly the size of a credit card and have a built-in USB micro cable

AND

full size USB port. It's only about 3 credit cards thick.

Capacity is only 1350 mAh, but that's good enough for me since I will always have this with me (I leave my Anker at home most of the time). Output is 850mA but charges my Nexus 5 just fine. From 52% to 91% in 56 minutes.

This may not be for everyone, but if you have the same needs as mine (external battery that is portable enough to put into wallet), this is a good find. I got mine from Fry's Electronics but you can also get it from Amazon here.

Nice find. I think it's a bit pricey though considering I got my anker 6,000 mah for 30. I think 15-20 would be a more fair price. It does seem really convenient. I carry around my anker in my bag, but I don't always have that with me.
