[ROM/DISCONTINUED] ParanoidAndroid 1.5a for Vision — version 0.5 beta (09-Aug-2012)

NeverGone\RU · Jul 21, 2012

So this is my very first attempt in ROM porting.

Some of you may have heard of tablet mode and if you have tried it you know well that it smashes your phone. Apps are small, their layout is screwed, things overlap, crash or stop working, Google Play forbids you to download, if you tried AOKP you cant even use launcher and phone. In short, it is a mess.

PARANOIDANDROID changed that. It does not "heal" tablet mode, it obliterates the boundaries. You define how big or small apps are, you define in which UI they display, no matter if your phone runs in tablet or phone mode, which also you can define. Customize every single entity on your phone, lockscreen, navigationbar, system-components, widgets, apps. If you prefer stay with your three bearpaw buttons + drop-down curtain or switch to a combined navigationbar + drop-up notificationcenter, enjoy Youtube in 3D, Gmail and settings in 2-columns, Chrome in its better mobile UI, etc. Nothing overlaps, nothing crashes, everything works as you'd expect. This is completely new ground and has never been realized before, it is lightyears from tablet mode.

Install ROM: http://d-h.st/ufK
Install Google Apps: http://d-h.st/wCo (and only these! other GApps will have Play Store broken in tablet mode!)
Wipe caches, factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom than CM9

If automatic brightness is disabled, button backlight doesn't turn on after Power button is pressed

Maybe something else, you tell me

I used jerl92's CM9 build as a base, HWComposer libraries and kernel from Andromadus Mimicry (these made this ROM insanely fast) and hdorius' DHD port. Sorry for being a "winzip dev", as I'm yet a complete noob in Android development

Thanks to:

ahjavery for his ROM porting guide
blk_jack and the whole Andromadus team for their great work
D4rKn3sSyS and molesarecoming for such a great ROM
Xylograph for his tips and porting help

Version 0.5 beta (09-Aug-2012)

Terminal Emulator, Gallery and LatinIME FCs/UI bugs fixed.
GApps removed. Use a separate package to install them.
Default UI is changed to "Phone mode (optimized)".
Button backlight bug not fixed yet.

Version 0 beta (30-Jul-2012)

Keyboard bug fixed
Removed apps: Adobe Flash Player, Apex & Nova Launchers, Dropbox, ES File Explorer, ROM Manager. Google Apps left, but probably will be removed later.
Improved automatic brightness accuracy
Dual-band Wi-Fi support enabled
adb remount error fixed
UI lagging is gone — now using kernel and libs from Andromadus (hope blk_jack won't kill me for that)

... can I call this a beta now?

So any chance you already patched this rom with pDroid [android privacy protection patch]? (otherwise not sure where the 'paranoid' comes in

)

I don't know why did they decide to call this ParanoidAndroid (maybe with the exception of this), but it doesn't have pDroid patches installed.
The main feature of this ROM is to switch between Tablet and Phone layouts selectively for every application.

Ahh, musical inspiration. Though I suppose if someone wanted to make this work with pdroid would simply use the auto-patcher (would just have to know if its aokp, cm9, etc and the rom date for it to make an appropriate pdroid zip patch).

Speaking of which what type of rom is it based off of for the ICS? Sense, CM9, AOKP, AOSP? Looks almost AOKP from the screenshots.

It is based of jerl92 unoffical cm9 wich is stated in the first post.

Guess I was expecting to see it in the largest first paragraph, missed it under credits (for some reason that post placed credits under a scrollable box in my window so was missing if I didn't use my mouse to scroll within the post).

For hardware-software keyboard fix, use the instructions provided in my rom porting guide about patching android.policy.jar.

It is there in the first post of the thread, patch the android.policy.jar and it will be fixed.

I already tried to, but this file section already looks like this:

Code:

.line 1311
const/4 v1, 0x0

iput v1, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mLidOpen:I

...

.line 1313
const/4 v1, 0x1

iput v1, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mLidOpen:I

...

.line 1315
.restart local v0       #sw:I
:cond_15
const/4 v1, -0x1

i.e. exactly as you've stated it should be edited. But maybe I've just found wrong place.

By the way I went ahead and made the pDroid patch for this release (1.5) of ParanoidAndroid for Vision. I had to use the 20120706 rom date in order to get the patch to work.

Patch Log (you can use the same command to just patch it yourself)

Code:

flash update.zip to install the modified
flash restore.zip to restore the original

I've renamed it to paranoid_pdroid_on.zip and paranoid_pdroid_off.zip (off restores the 3 jar files back to the way it was in the original zip, and on puts the patched .jar files into the system to work with the pdroid app)

[Files moved to attachment]
MD5 (paranoid_pdroid_off.zip) = 49d7bf9a2d2bdceb750d6dd95ac44705
MD5 (paranoid_pdroid_on.zip) = 0fd1764ee447424e67c1f96e39d68072

You can grab the pDroid app (free) itself from the market place (but it won't work until you patch the system).

even though there's a restore/off patch make sure to do a nandroid backup just to be on the safe side

I installed the following via recovery:
Paranoid Android 1.5 for Vision Rom
paranoid_pdroid_on.zip (pDroid enabled patch)
TitaniumBackup (So I could just quickly restore my pdroid app instead of signing up to google)

Then rebooted (love the boot animation by the way), and tried out pDroid. Screenshots attached.

So ya now can have more paranoia in your ParanoidAndroid

i.e. exactly as you've stated it should be edited. But maybe I've just found wrong place.

My guess is that since this rom uses a tablet UI, values need to be reversed. If you would have changed anywhere else, softkeyboard might not appear but since that is not the issue.

One hit is to try with reversed values, i.e. 0x0 with 0x1 and 0x1 with 0x0.

Try and reply if you find sucess.

awesome, love the rom

strawmetal · Jul 22, 2012

Thanks a lot for porting this to our device. Also could you make the launchers optional. Try using aroma. You could take this script in a pack i made as an example.

Love the Paranoid Android, very lovely, haha~
