[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Thanks for keeping this phone alive bro.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
Great work :) .....Download not yet available??:(
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
Downloads are available on pac-rom forum, there are two builds one with working camera but exposure sensor fail, second one has a not working camera.

Thanks to jose :)

Edit: Just installed the ROM and i'm loving it, totally worth the wait...some people may fall back because no camera/broken exposure sensor other than that everything works great so far.. :D

nightly just popped up on basketbuild downloads! on pac-rom website.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
I was really hoping that jose would have found a solution to exposure senser :( .did u test the rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kaleemmks:
thanx jose for new kitkat rom

downloading and going to flash
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Flashed the ROM, just awesomeness, fast very fast, gonna use this for a few days, to check it out completely.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
nightly now!!! check pac forums!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
The Nightly i just flashed,

the NFC won't turn off, which might explain the battery drain ... (i've a new battery, never happened with CM-11)

the camera, there's no application for it, tested it with ICS camera application on playstore, exposure issues

other than that, all's good for now , great work :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=4200595]josegalre[/MENTION] I've now tried all 3 of your KitKat releases, thanks for the hard work and effort in producing this ROM.

Am I correct in assuming that the reason for the camera / exposure related issues is because you're cloning the CM-11 git for you hardware tree? I ask because if this is indeed the case, then this means that whatever hardware issues are affecting the latest CM builds will also affect your PAC-ROM builds too. This also means that until these camera / exposure issues are resolved with CM then you won't have solution(s) either, correct? TIA

Keep up the great work!

Thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Odysseus1962 no I don't think he is using CM 11's git, cause he wrote that he made this ROM from scratch.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I hope he chimes in later when he's home from school, but I believe what he means by made from scratch is that this is compiled from sources and not ported from binaries prebuilt from another device. I say this because as I look at the instructions in the PAC-ROM forum here (at XDA), there is mention of cloning the CM hardware device tree as part of the setup process for preparing to build. Further illustrating this point is that the camera bug(s) that are afflicting this ROM are very similar to those affecting [MENTION=2681593]sportsstar89[/MENTION] and his recent CM-11 ION builds.
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
very fast and nice work i respect that

Bugs

1-

A) Camera not found.

B) Camera bottoms not work

2- FC when reciving calls can not see who is call

3- call history not show any missd call

4- Bluetooth FC

5- Battary drain fast

6- Start boot animation is not a professionnel one

7- Music widget FC
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
Does anyone know if WiFi tether for root works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
if the nfc not turn off, restart the phone and then turn it off

the camera does not work on the latest changes in basis and application frameworks camera, still working to discover a solution to skip the new changes, but still not merged into Arc-Team, give me a few days and hope to fix this

correct I used the repository by sportsstart89 ruby (without their work would not be possible)

although I have also used other repositories of devices MSM8660 , I understand, most devices 8660, is the error in camera exposion, but I'm not sure

pacman uses many repositories of cyanogenmod you can see the full list here

I've heard that the camera works well with kernel 3.4 but I have not personally verified this, these build with kernel 3.4 test days, sorry if I slow to respond but in university it takes me a long time, I'm more than 10 hours in college, I know that's no excuse!

Good, I'll vouch for the items!

1 - I still have problems with that, there is a version where the camera works, look at pac forums

2 and 3 - call yesterday to my brother (he is the owner of my beloved ruby) and I do not report anything, when you place saw no evidence that error will report the error in forums pac,

4 - yes, I'm aware of it, and I have prepared the solution but this creates conflict with systemui me patience ... or use the version 7 FEBRUARY

5 - Please turn off nfc and gps

6 - you are right, the boot animation is misconfigured, I will tell the creator or repaired

7 - this is error from latest version apollo, I hope it fixed soon
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Thanks again Jose for your hard work, timely response and answers to our questions. We all know you're busy with school and that task is much more important than this ROM. We all wish you continued success both in your studies and in progressing with this great ROM.

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] josh2020glacier:
I'm reading through this thread and seeing complaints about battery. I've been running this since last night. Been running perfect all day been at work come home play on phone battery still up.

Now that said: you can't say anything about the battery until you use it for atleast 2 days to allow kernel to settle in.

Awesome ROM very fast and snappy gonna use for few days. I'll get logcats if any problems. But as of now only issue I had was GPS not really locking like that. Other then that thanks great ROM

[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
looks good, what changes did you make?

you still can't advocate towards the battery before installing applications here and there...
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
turn off nfc,

turn off gps,

disable lockclock

change 3g to 2g

use art

reboot

this will help the battery life

Greetings!
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
After switching from ART to Dalvik again (to use Gravitybox to get a battery icon that isn't included; the circle with percentage in it....) I got rather quick percentage drops, plus I tried witching back to ART and it just failed on me. :/

Gonna do a wipe and fresh install, will report back with results.

ART though. It really makes the difference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
Xposed not work in ART! [emoji20]

If you use art, xposed be useless

you choose, art or xposed
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
Umm.. the circle with percentage is included in Rom itself no need of Gravity box. It's in Pac pellets > status bar > show battery text or percentage. select circle on battery icon and tick on show battery percentage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
I know lol

I just remembered that although I disabled Gravitybox I forgot to disable the Xposed framework.

Will try again and let you know when it reboots
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
I tried that but didn't get the percentage inside the circle, like in the picture
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
I see. I'll see if I get the percentage usually I select battery text only instead of circles.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
.... I should have clarified, the picture shows the icon that I want without having to use gravitybox.

I was using gravitybox to get that icon.

Maybe when the phone finishes it's reboot and switch to ART I'll check again to see if I missed anything.

Okay so update; I'm an idiot.

I completely missed that option to tick "Show Battery Percentage"

Which is weird because I looked at it before, and I swear that it just kept the circle and had a big percentage right next to it as a completely different icon in the status bar.

Maybe I need sleep.

My apologies for the unnecessary posts.

Thank you for providing the correct information.

ART broken on 7/5 build

On, 7/5 build, with a clean install, no gapps enabling ART is broken.

It reboots, acts like it's only compiling a single APK for a long time, then goes into the OS only to have several force closes that come back as soon as they are dismissed (blame the split screen) and is therefore unusable.

6/28 build APPEARS to work fine, but dirty flash from there to 7/5 is no good (probably because it would have to rebuild the elf).

Link to bug reports in the OP is dead.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
art is not officially supported in cm, if it is use at your own risk

is likely that any changes in pacman do this, will review more night

Weekly version 12/JULY/14! built in my HOME! Kernel 3.0.101 ION With Linaro GCC 4.9 Cortex A8 and O3 optimization​
[HTC Amaze 4G] edhenry59:
Thank you, Josegalre! Is the theming issue resolved?
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
yes! :D

Note: systemui closes sometimes, but recovers, by optimizing Linaro, fix that in a few days
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
This ROM is amazing josegalre, thank you for all of your hard work. The ui feels smooth, and my WiFi finally works reliably. I was happy with the battery life on stock but will have to see how much better it is here!

[EDIT:] just an update a day and a but in. The auto brightness seems to work only sometimes. I get the scaled up sensor value in lower light environments. I also an setting a lot of crashes even after a full wipe including internal sd. Some restart the UI, but I've had lock screen crashes where the screen stays black.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
See if it works better (not necessarily perfect) when you're on the charger and the battery is mostly charged. I had a lot of crashes too and blank screen instead of the lock screen. But I think my completely worn out battery is making it worse (in addition to randomly shutting off or rebooting when the battery gets below 50%). The 7/5 build I'm using doesn't seem to ever put the second processor to sleep when the screen is on (doubling CPU power draw under non-intensive use). I was able to fix it by disabling and re-enabling mpdecision in android tuner (but I have to do it after every boot). Due to my battery, I also have to underclock a bit, but then I don't have any problems and the amount of underclocking controls what % I can get down to before it powers off. I think it also fixed some phone call weirdness I've been having.

The amaze can have really high current draw when everything is going. When you add that to how it damages batteries current capabilities by charging with too high a voltage, you get weird flakeyness.

For the brightness, I think the sensor issue is known. It basically has two readings, no light and surface of the sun. If you want intermediate states, enable the status bar brightness control in pellets.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
I am testing this and think it helps!

Hey,

I just installed latest weekly build, and I got to say that it is pretty darn good. :good:

Snappier than previous build I was running (over a month old), and camera is somewhat working as well.

There are times when camera view is black, but exposure is fixed when focusing with touch. Moreover, google camera manual exposure seems to work as well.

Great work so far :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
In my case I have battery drain ;( gonna flash the latest build I diddnt see that linaro in the title last time I was here hehe
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
I'd avoid using the interactive governor, cm power save profile, and 1512/384, disabling cpu2. That combination gave me a boot loop. I was able to recover by powering up in safe mode and changing the settings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
dalvik cache full

The 7/5 and 7/12 builds have a script that bind mounts /data/dalvik-cache to point to /cache/dalvik-cache. The /cache partition is too small to do this on our device. It is only like 300MB and mine was full when /data was only using 800MB of 2.5GB (but I did also have full gapps on /system).

If you're using one of these builds and having problems with:

apps taking literally forever to install

app install/updates failing

can't enable ART

some applications always force close

and probably some other issues I didn't encounter, but come about due to /cache being full

Then delete /etc/init.d/01dalvik and reboot. When it comes back up you can delete /cache/dalvik-cache

Heh, yeah, that'd do it. I hadn't gotten around to looking into it cause I had a workaround.

Is there some reason you removed the thermald line instead of just uncommenting it too? On a lot of phones a good thermald setting is required to prevent crashes and filesystem corruption when it gets hot. Leave your phone charging in a hot car and watch how it barfs without it.

When I was playing around with it, I didn't get a bootloop, but the power save profile seemed to override the governor settings to conservative. However I was using android tuner to set the governor (to interactive) and frequency (1.13/384). I was manually fixing mpdecision instead of just disabling the second core. Maybe having both inside the same setting caused problems.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
* the cache partition is 315MB and the maximum size of dalvik-cache is 288MB, even has extra space to use ext4 and recover, apks and data always kept in the data partition // please make full clean

* art not wortk with xposed.... also art is somewhat experimental, may or may not work

*Then delete /etc/init.d/01dalvik and reboot. When it comes back up you can delete /cache/dalvik-cache // my brother has more than 100 applications (a lot of useless things) but has no problem with dalvik-cache, you are within their rights to delete the file

*thermald is not yet fully configured for ruby, maybe in the future, also as I said before the branch is cm-11.0 for experimental changes
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazykas:
Love the rom..It is balzing fast..Battery life is ok..But whwenever i tried to play a mkv file,app keep force closing..Any help?
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
What app force closes? I'd recommend to play .mkv or any video file with MX Player or VLC for Android beta available freely on play store.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
It's impossible to set the maximum size of the dalvik-cache. For every .apk installed, the dalvik cache must contain the bytecode unzipped from the .apk and optimized for the device or the app cannot run. This means it could be as large as 2x the .apk size if there are no other resources there (like fonts, pictures, etc that do not go to the dalvik-cache). Usually it's about 1/2 to 1/4 the size of the .apk.

Are you referring to setting dalvik.vm.heapsize=288m? That does not set the maximum size of the dalvik-cache (or have anything to do with dalvik-cache). That sets the maximum RAM size that the heap for the dalvik runtime can grow to. When a running app creates a new variable/object/etc that is not statically compiled it gets created from the pool of memory in the heap. If there is not enough space in the heap, the heap either grows (fast) and/or garbage collection is run to get rid of unused variables (slow, especially with larger heaps). I believe this setting is not even used by most apps, just ones with android:largeHeap="true" in the manifest. Most apps only respond to the dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit setting.

Ok, I'll look into thermald and see what it needs.

bsplayer works too
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
if not using dalvik.cache in the cache partition that's up to you, works for me as well this!, I have more space in the data partition! :D

I had understood that this is the maximum size for the sum of the sizes of all dex files, excuse me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert

and I mention it because when I was 256m not let me install more apps and when I go up to 288 if, but hey, it works for me and I am happy! these free right to delete the file if you do not like!

regards
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazykas:
Thnkx..Im using Diceplayer
[HTC Amaze 4G] edhenry59:
Hey, josegalre! I once used to run a rom on my HTC pico. Cm9. The op used a similar tweak to the dalvik cache, but he only moved the dalvik cache of system apps to the cache partition. Normally downloaded apps used the data directory. Wouldn't this be better? Thanks :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
you could also use it if you like, the dalvik-cache of system weighs no more than 80MB ( if you use my gapps package )

do not know why they do not want to use 310MB (partition size is 314MB, but 310MB are free)

you are free to use it as best consider :D how much is the partition cache for htc pico?

if I could use this in my one xl be happy but my cache partition is 252MB one is not enough for dalvik-cache :crying:
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
There must be something else at play here. I went back to stock again because I'm seeing more than double the battery life as on this ROM for the same usage and app load.

If it helps anyone, the stock CPU settings are:

CPU On demand 1512/384 MHz

GPU 2D 200 MHz / 3D on demand 266 MHz

SD deadline 128 cache, entropy 64 read 128 write.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NooBOnTheBlock:
I too noticed heavy battery drain
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Yep, that's the reason I ended up switching roms again, battery would drop way too fast for no apparent reason. Even with stock CPU values it would drain so much. Even tried turning Wi-Fi and Mobile Data off and still got nothing. Wiped battery stats and completely killed it then charged it overnight and still won't get a good 12 hours standby.

I have no idea what caused it, but I needed all day standby time so I ended up restoring an old backup I had.

Any leads as to why this is happening?
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
The battery life is exactly the same what cm11 for amaze offers. Will look into it when Jose posts weekly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] edhenry59:
Hey josegalre, the last two weeklies have a settings app that looks like it hasn't been optimised for the amaze's screen resolution. There are bars on the left and right sides of the screen. Weekly 1 didn't have those. Not a very big deal, but could you please correct this in the new weekly? Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:

does camera/video recording work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
Light/proximity sensors

I'm having problems with the light (either bright screen or dim, no in between) and proximity sensors (screen shuts off). I think they're not being calibrated correctly when the driver loads (it's the same chip). I have to figure out the interface better, but I've got proximity working for me. Look in /sys/class/optical_sensors/proxmity, cat ps_canc. Mine was 0x8 and the sensor always said "near". If yours is near, make the value larger, 0xa worked for me. It resets every boot when the sensor recalibrates.

I can't figure out how to change the gain on the light sensor, but I'm looking at that too.

What does "embed tag" mean?
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
please give me a logcat, I can record video properly

sorry man, my English is bad and sometimes use the translator of google when I leave home, (as most know my native language is Spanish and my English is very bad!)

the problem is the sensors can be for pac changes in glacier and evita, have that problem, please give me a logcat
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
No te preocupes. Sus inglés es mejor de mi español.

I was not posting as a bug report. I just wanted people to know a work around while I tried to figure out what was going on. I will dig through the logcat, but I do not think it has anything useful and post anything that might be useful.

[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
I have been using the 19/JULY weekly for a week now and came across some minor issues(some of them have been reported here already)

1. Battery drain. My phone drained battery for no reason with no apps running on background. Also when I used the phone with screen on it drained much more than stock rom. The battery drain lasted for over three days, on fourth day it cooled down, showed real percentage of battery and battery lasted more.

2. System UI closes with no message, leaving phone not usable for 20secs until lookscreen is not shown.

3. My phone did not wake up when I received a notification, don't remember how many times but I had to take battery out and then turn phone on. Sometimes it did wake up with System UI closed.

4. Very rarely Status bar would get stuck when I pull it down. Rebooting the phone fixes this.

That's all I have, I'm going to try Jose's cm11 this week.
[HTC Amaze 4G] edhenry59:
