Q&A for [ENRC2B][ROM][4.4.4] Unofficial ParanoidAndroid 4.43

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ENRC2B][ROM][4.4.4] Unofficial ParanoidAndroid 4.43. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[HTC One X+] mcnukem:
yes!!
[HTC One X+] xda_ftw:
I still use this ROM and consider it very much handy and useful.

I have got this problem - my Chrome browser stuck in floating mode and runs in floating mode always and even if Hover is off. Un/re-installing and clearing its app data did not help. And so far no other app had this issue. Any thoughts how to fix?

Thanks!

P.S. Looking forward to updates, too - would be great to have newer Paranoid Android for HOX+
[Paranoid Android Q&A] BigBallsac:
Since the paranoid android team sources their code from aosp, which got the lollipop push on the 3rd of November, when can we expect a final 4.x and work on lollipop to begin?

Furthermore, when's the earliest we can expect a beta push? (Note 2 user here)
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
Expect? Never.

We still don't have everything we need for fully supported aosp builds on nexus devices. It would be great if people would just be patient.

#stayparanoid
[Paranoid Android Q&A] BigBallsac:
Well, CM12 it is then. Shame though. You guys have the best UI out there. Way to go Arz Bhatia. :good:
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
You asked for an EtA, and I told you to never "expect" it. We don't even support your device... So how can we give anyone an EtA when we have no idea how long developing something will take?

I really wish people understood the process here and the fact that asking for etas is frowned upon and discouraged

#stayparanoid
[Paranoid Android Q&A] dallas220:

[Paranoid Android Q&A] mattgoldey:
So will the next update to PA be based on 4.4.4 or 5.0?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
Well, considering all work on 4.4.4 has been dropped, you can expect to NOT get a 4.4.4 build again

#stayparanoid
[Paranoid Android Q&A] mattgoldey:
Any idea on the timeframe of the first 5.0 based release? I've got the 5.0 release on my N7, but it's so slow. I'm excited to give it a try on my OPO.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
We have never given etas because we don't know....

#stayparanoid
[Paranoid Android Q&A] ArchieTor:
Hi,

I know I'm annoying, and I'm sorry for that.

But we need an ETA. I understand you can't provide such. But you can provide approximate times where it will be done, for example:

"We're 50% sure it will be done in <month>, and we're absolutely sure it will be a rather stable beta by <month>. But don't think it will last so long, it will be probably available much, much earlier, those are just the worst scenarios."

Thanks for what you do for us,

Michael

P.S.: Nexus 4 owner here.

P.P.S.: Can you tell be if I have to wipe data to update to Lollipop? Because I would be able to test such things as CM12 meanwhile.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
No. We cannot provide any approximations at all. This shouldn't even be questionable.

A. We don't have time we can set aside for development. We fit stuff in when we can in between real life functions and responsibilities.

B. Everyone has a part of the development process. We all have to coordinate these efforts in order to produce something.

C. This is not our job. We try to do this for fun. A hobby. Would it be appropriate to ask when you will have something for me to play with from your hobby? Take RC cars for example. Let's say you like to build RC cars and some cool new gear was just released. Should I come to you and ask you, nay, tell you that you need to give me a date that I will be able to play with your new toy?

So, no, we cannot tell you a date or an approximate date for anything. It lands when it lands.

[MENTION=5343869]NBruderman[/MENTION] we are expecting 5.0 for S4 i9500 very soon. Have you made any progress so far, can't wait! You make the most stable builds till date.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] h4z3d:
The reason there's no ETAs given on things like this is because it's all superficial. For all you know, they found some drawbacks and you'll find a slightly disgruntled community that was expecting it then and didn't get it. It's best to just wait it off.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Özgün Özerk:
pa colors

Wil pa colors be able to use in 5.0?

I want to recolor my status bar (clock, battery etc.) but cannot in 4.4.4 version, would be so happy if we get back this option in lollipop???
[Paranoid Android Q&A] ArchieTor:
Wow, as I sometimes read my posts, I'm gettin' even more motivated to prevent myself from getting in any contact with alcohol for a lifetime (Disclaimer: Never had it so far.)

Last time I had Internet access (I wasn't having it Dec 2—15), I wanted to write that I'm sorry, and I of course appreciate your work, and that I understand it's not your job, just hobby (I know there are people who think that all of the open-source software is created by companies employing programists for a cash and having profit from it in not-well-precised sources, and I ain't one of them), I wanted to highlight it with "Thank you for what you do for us", so you wouldn't think I expect an ETA in a way like a money-paying consumer would.

I was thinking about your response once again and now I understand you that you don't want to give an ETA, as it might become somehow disinformation, and some people involved would take it as inappropriate, as you can't just say for the whole team of volunteers how much work you're going to do during a certain period of time. When I tried to compare to compare the situation with my case (I'm creating simple Python programs (still just learning (the best way of learning to code is actually trying to create something new with just the very basic knowledge)) with just ~160 clones every month), in which if somebody asked me for an ETA, I might give one, but it would be inaccurate, and usually also be disinformation, and if I'd work with other people also considering it as a hobby, I wouldn't be sure whether to try to even very inaccurately estimate the time until next release or some fix.

So there, I know I'm being annoying, I'm sorry for that and I'm gonna try to stop it.

Cheers,

Michael

P.S.: Maybe you can't actually give a date, but can you provide a link to, for example, a stream of commit descriptions best to follow if I'd want to try to estimate when it'll be ready?

Has somebody managed to install Minuum on the SmartWatch? I tried it via ADB bluetooth because the normal ADB doesn recognized my Watch, drivers missing and i dont know where i can get them.

Best Regards
[Sony Smartwatch 3] XorZone:
1. To get the driver to work just click update driver- browse- let me pick and manually select Google-Adb composite device

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

For installation I just followed the instructions on the minuum page.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nobunnysapro:
Make sure to allow it on the phone as well, the Wear app will prompt to allow.

what's the last version of minuum for wear? I subscrive to to newsletter but i don't receive the mail with the app!

Also i installed one from xda and i can't reply to the messagge with it. why?

also i'm unable to download different language from english
[Sony Smartwatch 3] djgodlike:
I did receive a email:

Sony SmartWatch 3

Thanks for your interest in putting Minuum on your SmartWatch 3!*It’s*important to note*that Minuum for Android Wear isn’t yet a very useful product, as there aren’t any text fields in Android Wear apps - this APK is purely for testing purposes, and because you*joined this mailing list we’ll keep you updated as we improve how it integrates with the Android wear system. If you haven't used the Android SDK before it is*not recommended*that you continue.

The steps below will help you test the Minuum Keyboard on your Android Wear compatible device as seen on*minuum.com/typing-on-android-wear.

Not fully familiar with the Android development tools? Here is a good source to get you started:

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know

If you're not comfortable with the link above, we don't*recommend*going forward without asking a friend, doing a few more tutorials online or waiting until we have an alternate way to get Minuum on your smart watch.

----------------------

Prepare your smart watch*

1. Setup your watch for installation - go into Settings -> About -> Tap 7 times on “Build Number” to become a developer

2. Enable ADB Debugging in Settings -> Developer Options -> ADB debugging

Prepare your computer (with your watch plugged in)

1.*Install Android developer tools

2.*Access the APK from this link:*https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0a0XyLZjfUxQmdLVDhVTHB2ME0/

3.*Install Minuum onto your watch by typing e.g. “adb install MinuumKeyboard.apk”

4.*Type “adb shell ime enable com.whirlscape.minuum/.MinuumKeyboardService" to enable the keyboard

5.*Type “adb shell ime set com.whirlscape.minuum/.MinuumKeyboardService" to set the keyboard as default

Run Minuum

1.*Tap on home screen, scroll down past Settings to choose “Start…”

2.*Tap “Minuum Settings”, which should appear on your list of installed Android Wear apps

3.*Go to the Cheat Sheet from within Minuum Settings, and type in the text field there to test Minuum

﻿Troubleshooting instructions:

1. After installing, confirm that com.whirlscape.minuum is listed when you type `adb shell pm list packages`. This means that minuum is installed.

2. After enabling/setting, run `adb shell ime list` and confirm that `com.whirlscape.minuum/.MinuumKeyboardService` is listed as an available input method

3. If the keyboard still isn't functioning properly, make sure you disable any third party launchers.

Best,

As the title mentions, I would like to know, if there is a way to save the the settings for the default luncher, including homescreen setup and so on?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aavion:
save as what? a backup for restoring after a factory reset? (apps like helium or titanium backup will help)

or just to make them stay between reboots? (that's not neccesary as the app data should be saved by default)

please explain a little deeper

So I am trying to build AOSP 5.0 for Redmi 1s. I downloaded the AOSP source. I also downloaded the device tree and vendor tree from github. Now what changes I have to make to build AOSP????
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaticStryder:
You need to edit the make files, edit .sh and vendor.

I used this answer to get my AOSP running on my G2 using CM sources. It's not very hard to manage this because CM is not quite different in these aspect, but you need to know some stuff about programming and solve the errors. Good luck.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjal:
Has anyone gotten the Amazon Instant Video app working on the Nexus 9?

History: Amazon released an official android app to get amazon instant video but it says "device not supported" on Nexus 9. Amazon support said that tablets aren't supported which was a surprise to me as I was using it on Nexus 7 ever sense it was released.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwenthold:
I ran into the same issue last night when I wanted to try out prime video. Worked fine on my phone and nexus 7...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjal:
Exactly. Maybe somewhere the Nexus 7 is classified as a really big phone? Amazon customer service said they will forward the message as a feature request and then gave me $5 account credit which is nice but still...

I was wondering if this incompatibility is a simple platform white list check or if something is actually broken. If it's a check I'm thinking someone smart here might bypass that for us.

Sometimes I just don't understand peoples thinking, why should the app be OK for phones but not tablets?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Munyuk81:
For those 6828 users that used to use a dopod like me and likes Microsoft's picture viewer better than HP's. I like it better cause it seems easier to use, more flexible and being able to edit picture to some extent is an added bonus.

I use resco explorer, but I'm pretty sure other file explorer could do just about the same thing.

go to the windows folder, locate the file "pimg.exe" tap and hold it then select send to, then tap on start menu as shortcut.

when that's done, still in the windows folder, go to programs, and find "pimg.lnk" you can rename it to whatever you want it to appear on your program folder. DO Not delete the extension.

close the file explorer, go to your start menu, in programs you can find the picture viewer.

I hope this is useful.

bricked Jiayu G5S+ (Elephone P6i)

Hi!

I tried to change the ROM for a friend's fake Jiayu G5S+ phone (a have some previous experience with flashing ROMs but neither me and especially my friend didn't know about this being a fake) so I tried to flash a G5S ROM and the phone now is bricked. The SP_Flash stops after the red stripe, "DA Download 100%" and that is all. From time to time I hear the sound of a new connected device in my PC speakers and the MTK USB port reappears in Device Manager.

Any idea how could I revive this phone, even it is a fake :)?

My friend is very sad as I ruined his phone. Anyway, he couldn't use it with the original ROM because the touchscreen keyboard wasn't calibrated, he could not type almost anything.

L.E.: I tried to flash the backup that Gr4nDT3R0R posted above, now I get this error BROM ERROR: S_CHIP_TYPE_NOT_MATCH. I guess the ROM is not for my chip(set):
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreambo:
In the picture, I see that you do not provide the preloader.bin, you must give it (it is a part of the backup).

Then you have also to provide android, cache and data images, even from other ROM (system.img is in the backup, and you can extract cache.img and userdata.img from an p6i ROM)

Use, as you do, "format all + download" and it must works (if your phone is JY-G5S+, otherwise, use an entire ROM from elephone p6i)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futurebreeze2014:
Yes, it might be wrong what I showed in that picture, I guess I tried a dozen of times to flash different ROMs. Today I finally managed to flash the original ROM provided by the author of this topic. It seems that after plugging in the phone to the USB port, right after the "ding-dong" sound you have to insert the battery. So I could see the so long waited yellow bar. After this I used the MTK Droid Tools and which showed that in fact the phone is a Quad Core MTK i6, 4.4.2, ALPS.KK1.MP1.v2.13 phone (instead of Jiayu G5S+, full HD screen, octa core...). I don't know how but after repeated tries now the phone is showing the real specs in About phone section.

Anyway, the reason I tried to change the ROM is that the touchscreen is acting weirdly, it is not calibrated, it is impossible to tap a text using the virtual keyboard. Even the menu items are very hard to tap as they don't respond to touching but the ones from vicinity. I have found a few recent videos with the same problems on Youtube but none have the solution. The screen is 540x960 and I guess the LCD driver is not the proper one.

Right know I am glad I managed to revive my friend's phone but I am pretty sad of his loss (I recommended him to by another trusted phone but he wouldn't listen to me).

Maybe in time, some smart guys will find any workaround for these Jiayu G5S+ fakes.

In addition to the files for flashtool is in this post, add the two missing (cache and userdata) of this rom.
