To those calling to customer support asking when the update is going to come out, they don't know! I used to work for as a supervisor for escalations for sprint and the carrier doesn't disclose that kind of info to the csr and whenever customer call we just tell them either we don't know or that soon. So don't even bother as the csr don't know.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Hell half of the ones ive spoken to over the years didnt know what a bootloader was or when you refer to the OS by name ,i.e. icecream sandwhich, jellybean, they dont know which version it is 4.1, 4.2, 3.4, etc. I believe I read some where that T-Mobile has officially said that the flex will update to 4.4 but it didnt specify when. But for customer service to tell the guy above that it will NOT update, thats the recorded call that will make it into the training course of things not to say or do.

Same goes for retail. Most of the people selling phone don't know 1/2 the stuff that phones have or do. I learn more from the the video reviews from the likes of phonedog, techno buffalo, pocket now, etc. Xda is the best source to find out when the update will hit as someone will post up the news.
[LG G Flex] Android6190:
thats cool so t mobile said any day now. well i hope its soon kitkat was awesome on the nexus 5 and it was pretty good on the s4. I am hoping for the same results for the G Flex. but can anyone confirm about the whole battery drain. That would ultimately be a deal break if it affect battery life. defeats the point of a 3500 mAh battery.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
The link I posted back a few posts was a Flex user from somewhere not in the US. He noticed a slight drop in battery life with KitKat. It does kind of suck but battery life will still be good just not as great. I'm thinking in a day or so AT&T Flex users will say the same as that guy.
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
I've said other wise multiple times now. The notes on AT&T kit Kat said it had battery improvements and i for one definitely notice them, when using the phone for instance i went 52min before dropping down to 98%? 2% with a screen on time of near an hour is good even for the powerhouse battery the flex has.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
My friend said he noticed a drop in battery life with his S4 after KiKat and same goes for the G2. I guess will find out soon enough with the AT&T Flex. Something seems to be draining my T-Mobile Flex a little more lately. I think I read Lookout drains the battery some even when you disable it. What is a good battery app to see what's draining?
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Better battery stats is the best
[LG G Flex] mr pnut:
To be honest there's no battery app that makes your battery last long lol i never used those apps there always running in the background.

[LG G Flex] sweets55:
First time I've used a battery app. Battery seems a little less but still good. Figured I test now and after KitKat. To see any difference.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Some of those actually work, but they cripple your phone by shutting everything off. On the lg spectrum we all used deep sleep app, it actually did make a huge difference. Anyways BBS isn't an app to extend your battery, but lists everything that is keeping your phone awake or even partially awake. It's an awesome app!
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
The thing about battery saving app and task managers or task killers is whatever they might save if any at all is eaten up by the apt doing the savings. We have a Snapdragon processor and there is an app made by snapdragon on the Play Store called battery guru it works better than anything I've seen. Are you do is install its free and it takes two to three days of learning how you use your device and then it will let you know when the battery saving start and I guarantee you to get you two to three maybe four hours more then you're used to. It's really the only battery saving app that I trust to actually work due to it being made by the people that make our processor so I figure they know best. Check it out it's free what can it hurt

I really can't figure this one out. My calendar widget stopped working and for some reason, I don't even have the option of selecting "Sync Calendar" under any of my Google accounts. I have tried deleting and re-adding each individual account, but to no avail. Settings say "Sync is experiencing problems. It will be back momentarily." But I cannot find the source of the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] R4NDR01D:
Make sure you have the Google Calendar app installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beefweef:
I do. I've tried using both the Google Calendar app as well as Samsung's stock app... Still the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beefweef:
I finally found the Google Calendar Sync Troubleshooter.

Here's the step that fixed it for me. Several layers deep in the Troubleshooter, but finally resolved the issue!

We recommend proceeding with these steps only if the above steps don't resolve the issue.

Open your device’s Settings.

Select Applications, then All.

Select Calendar Storage.

Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.

Turn Calendar sync off and on in Settings > Accounts > Google > [your affected account], or from within the app using Menu > Refresh on newer devices. If you receive an error message upon opening the Calendar app, close and re-open it to re-activate sync.

Bugs:

PAPrefs is currently experiencing issues with hdpi devices, this has been reported to the PA team. Check this post for the workaround.

Some functions of Rom Control do not work, one example is Signal/WiFi custom colours.

PACman FAQ​

PIE FAQ

Q. What is PIE?

A. PIE is a new way to interact with your notifications. It provides easy gesture based interaction with all your system information without taking up valuable screen space. PIE is what you see in this image.

Q. How do I access Pie?

A. Swipe your finger from the pie gravity edge (default is the bottom) toward the center of your screen. While keeping your finger on the screen, drag your finger to the desired button and release to click.

Q. My PIE doesn't look like the ones in the screenshots. I don't see the Clock or notifications.

A. Notifications work either through the status bar or PIE. If the status bar is enabled, PIE reverts to just the softkeys. To enable the full PIE experience, enable Expanded Desktop by going to Settings -> System -> Power Menu -> Expanded Desktop (Status bar hidden). Access the power menu and turn Expanded Desktop on.

Q. How do I change PIE colors?

A. Go to Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> Interface and change the Navigation bar color.

Q. Buttons or keyboard rows near the edge of my screen are nonresponsive.

A. PIE's trigger area overlay is covering the edge of your screen. Change either the Trigger Area or Pie Gravity in Settings -> System -> PIE Settings.

Q. I don't like PIE, how do I turn it off?

A. To disable PIE set Trigger Area to None in Settings -> System -> Pie Settings. Remember to disable Expanded Desktop to turn status bar on again.

ROM FAQ

Q.Do I need to do a full wipe before installing this ROM?

A. Unless coming from a previous version of PACman it is highly recommended to do a full wipe before installing. This includes coming from ParanoidAndroid ROMs.

Q.What do the settings in Hybrid Properties do?

A. ParanoidAndroid has an extensive guide to the settings at this thread: [GUIDE][PARANOIDANDROID] A Complete Compendium on ParanoidPreferences [PA-Settings] Please do not post questions related to PA Settings in this thread, they are not ROM specific and all we'll do is point you to that thread.

Q.How do I turn on the Navigation Bar??

A.To enable the NavBar open Hybrid Properties, swipe the screen to the right to peek through to the menu.

Select Interface, now set your desired NavBar size with the slider.

Q.Something isn't working. What do I do?

A. First, make sure you are running the latest stable version. For i9100 users, try using the latest Dorimax kernel, for i777 users stick with the CM kernel provided. That should solve half the problems. If it persists, backup data using Titanium and do a full wipe reinstall. If the problem persists, report what it is and what triggers it so the dev can duplicate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
So here's the story... these 4.4 builds are automated; I am NOT the maintainer nor the developer

I know there are several of you who have known about these builds for a while, but I (and others) felt the right thing to do was to create a new thread pointing to their existence. Think of this as a "portal" thread.

Have fun, be respectful and enjoy PAC!!!

This has been my favorite ROM for the last couple days
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Been on this ROM for over a month. Only thing I notice that is an annoyance is when your are using messenger and you put the phone down and it goes to the lock screen. When you go back to unlock the phone the swipe circle is way off the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
That's bc it locked in landscape mode. I've seen that on other ROMs. Are you the latest nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Ah. Just tested again and locked the phone in landscape. It was off the screen when I unlocked it. Good find. Yes I'm on the 4/17 nightly. It has happened on every night as far as I can remember. Been using pacrom 4.4 since it came out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
Just installed it today (4/17). I can confirm the above as well. But other than that it has been doing great so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
I have the same problem as I have since I found PAC ROM, I can only use it first time install and boot after a shut down or reboot it always got stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy SII" boot screen and does nothing else. I was hoping it would not do that this time around.

Well what I did was the following

Used a ROM wipe script

Wiped davlik, system, and cache

Rebooted recovery

Installed PAC and gapps

Wiped only davlik and cache rebooted recovery again

Wiped davlik and cache and rebooted into system

I have rebooted with my breath held and the three times I rebooted it came back but my trust is still low on each reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
ART? I found it in dev options, but do you have to do anything else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I'd Google this before you try it if you don't know what it does. It's very experimental
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
I went back to 3/31/14 build because I thought it was a little faster. Not much. I'll try enabling ART for the 4/19/14 build. I see it is a newer/replacement runtime for dalvik. I didn't know if there was any manual config that needed to be done via scripts.

EDIT: So I enabled ART. Took about 10 minutes to fully boot up. Seems to run smoother and not as jerky than using dalvik.

Almost time for a new phone. Going to wait until the LG G3 hits the stores to decide.That looks like it is going to be the winner though.

Is there any way to fix the landscape lock screen bug without flashing the new nightly?

Sent From My PAC Phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desteele:
Truth. There are still enough little "oddball" behaviors that I'm wondering what to try first. I might try going back to Dalvik and enabling the JIT compiler, but I'm going to overlay another nightly or 5 first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Flashing a new nightly doesn't fix the lock screen issue. It has been an issue in every nightly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
Well, we can't use an xposed app for the lockscreen fix because it installs but it's useless if I can't use a module to semi fix the lock screen or isn't there a option to use rotation lock screen?

Google it and you'll understand. It is a reference to a bug in the old Atari pacman game. It's an interesting read

OK, but does that mean the little built-in game is causing the problems to the system? Or that's the joke and it's just stopped working?

Updating nightlies

A quick question. Do I need to download the entire .zip file in order to update a nightly? If I am doing it from the PAC Console is there a way to download only the updates and flash that. Downloading the entire file every time doesn't seem very efficient to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desteele:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Just a joke. Has nothing to do with anything in the ROM called split screen. Kinda misleading. My first thought was that it had some sort of multi window app causing problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Nope. Never.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
I have a mini fix for the lock screen

1. Install the latest Xposed framework

2. Install Xblast tools

3. Install the framework for Xposed

4. Enable Xblast in the modules list

5. Go to XLocky and enable Lock Screen rotation

6. Soft reboot using the installer side of the xposed framework or using terminal emulator,

"su"

Confirm superuser request

"pkill zygote"

I use soft reboot but a normal reboot will work too

Not a forever fix but PAC ROM 4.4.2 is still in alpha right now

The battery drain on this ROM is ridiculous. It takes a very long time to be fully charged, practically all night, and it drains really quickly. I am wondering what the issue could be or if anyone else is experiencing this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pepe100:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
This is most likely caused by a rogue app. Install Wakelock detector or better battery stats so you can identify the offending process.

Has anyone ever tried to flash Renderbroken's kernel on this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I don't think it'll work properly, due to ramdisk differences. Best to stay on stock Pac kernel for now, to avoid issues.

When I first flashed this, I had problems receiving and sending mms until I chose a different APN settings.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Great great ROM. Best one I've ever had actually.

Only problems I have are the battery drain but I installed wakelock to check if its an app.

When I'm texting on messenger, mostly Facebook messenger on the Chat Heads version, the phone freezes up and then goes to lock screen after.

The phone also freezes up every now and then when I'm running it too much I guess, having too much apps open and switching back and forth and whatnot.

I've only had two random reboots and that happened while 'doing too much'

Also, I can't get Netflix to play, keeps force closing. Really don't want to switch to Art but will try it after I do some more research.

Will be flashing the latest nightly later today.

I flashed 5/8 last night, got a call from my wife, and we had trouble having a conversation. Cutting out and echoing on her end. Unusable.

Went back to 4/17, but on that one I get bluetooth abends after a call in my car. Will probably have to look elsewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
These sound like symptoms of the mic-swap issue that we just had in omni, and slim-i777 as well.

The symptoms were as you described (caller can hear you, but not loudly or clearly), and the issue was caused by a merge of "smdk4412: sound: update soc & codecs", pushed on or around May third.

For Omni and slim, the commit over-wrote a few mods written specifically to swap the bottom and rear microphones for the i777. Unfortunately I am unable to navigate pac-roms' gerrit well enough to find evidence of that commit, so this post is only speculation based on your description of the phone call issue.

RB kernel was a great workaround for Omni, but I read recently that it doesn't play well with pac?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:

This was in the cm thread but I have no idea what it means

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63862/

Is the problem fixed or does something need to be manually changed via adb for those of us running this rom on a i777? I only played with some command line stuff a long time ago so I don't remember what I need to do if this needs to be changed manually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
Well, maybe the old versions of his kernel but I flashed it on the new Beta of PAC ROM and no issues so far.

So you are running 05/14 and it went to beta. interesting. How are your voice calls?

I haven't been getting any reboots but I haven't gone past 4/28 as there were voice issues due to the above problem with the mic swap.

EDIT:

I just flashed 5/15 and voice is working normally. Mic swap issues seems to be resolved. Yes it looks like PAC is in Beta 1 now.
