Something absolutely weird is happening at my end.

So, I flashed v0.2 and by default it has the storage swapped. I swapped it back and now I have a freaking mess right here!

1. Files from the external SD have magically transferred to the internal SD.
2. I have both DCIM and TitaniumBackup folders in both the SDs.
3. Some folders from both the SDs are missing (this could just be a media scanner issue).

To, sum it up -- I'm really confused. I haven't slept in a while so earlier I thought I was dreaming or something. Now, I just feel bad that it wasn't a dream! :(

UPDATE - I let the phone sit for a while and let the media scanner do it's thing. Everything's fine now! *phew*

Yeah i noticed this too. Just choose "Custom" and hit "Apply". The numpad will then pop up.

Sometimes when modifying an already custom dpi it still does not show up after hitting apply, the only way is to set to one of the list choices (like default e.g.), hit apply then after that choosing custom again :)

But I must say, incredible work imilka :) perfect ROM I dare to say :)

OK I am super tempted to flash this ROM and can't wait to use it but reading the feedback I can't help but to wait for the next release to fix the issues with battery and what not, correct me if I'm wrong but since this is v0.2 am I wrong to assume that v1.0 is a stable update with little to no bugs??

Did you reboot after swapping? All files are intact here, sorry

Issue no. 2 seems logical as they were probably created when the device booted up with the swapped directories

Quoting from the FAQs which u were supposed to read urself in the 1st place:

"You can switch the mountpoints at systemsettings->storage->storage configuration.
Switching to "use extended internal storage" has the following result:
/mnt/emmc = external sdcard
/mnt/sdcard = internal storage
"use extended internal storage" is the default setting!
Do a reboot after switching, otherwise the setting doesn't get applied!!!"

I only seem to have 'Use internal Storage' as an option under systemsettings->storage->storage configuration. Any ideas?

Apparently, it's all fixed now! I did the swap half hour back. It was all messed but due to the media scanner. Now it's scanned and everything's back at it's place -- except for of course DCIM and TB Folder for obvious reasons.

*phew*

Guys, I use the keyboard on landscape a lot, but the statusbar's getting on the way. Is there any way to automatically disable the statusbar when switching the keyboard to landscape, so I won't have to do it manually?

I got SODs with all the CM9 nightlies I've tried so far, therefore due to the rock-stable kernel (LP5) in Imilka's meanwhile depracated CM9 I keep hanging on to that ROM.

This ROM's hybrid mode is very appealing, though, and I've tried to use it with the LP5 kernel.

The kernel boots, but I get error messages and the ROM is unusable.

Does anybody know how to properly replace the stock kernel with the LP5 kernel? I don't want to start a discussion about whether this is reasonable, I'm well aware of the potential danger inherent in the leaked kernels.

I have a thread in general section regarding sod's and if you use the app wake lock they go away. You take a bit of a hit on battery but nothing too extreme. I've been using it for approx. 3 days now and have not had an sod since. Give it a try...

That ROM sounds horribly cool, I am tempted to try it. Any ideas yet as to how it deals with battery consumption? Better or worse than an optimized Gingerbread? Does deep sleep work?

Thanks for your work!

CM9 is pretty decent with battery, and yes, it deep sleeps.
I highly doubt it is as good as optimized gingerbread (CM9 is still a WIP after all), but certainly no worse than stock gingerbread.

    This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

    • DON'T flash FROM ANY SAMSUNG ICS OR ROMS BASED ON SAMSUNG KERNELS (my CM9, AOSP, etc)
      Flash any stock GB rom with odin / or any GB kernel [instructions] root device [instructions] and reboot into recovery once again before flashing this
    • Install Rom: http://d-h.st/3cK
    • Install HYBRID Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
    • Wipe caches, factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom than CM9
    • If your statusbar is gone after the first reboot: longpress Powerbutton > Toggle Statusbar
    • Reboot and edit your Apps Dpi under Settings/Paranoid Settings/P.A.D. Hold the powerbutton to see the new fullscreen-togglebutton



    paranoid_hintsu4kjw.png

    • FAQ & HELP - Read before asking!
    • Go to Settings, System, Font size, set it to NORMAL
    • Check "Auto Hide" in Settings, System, Statusbar, to finally get Fullscreen (or Hold power button, and press "Toggle StatusBar")
    • Launcher Settings: margins: SMALL (If youre using Apex / Nova), show permanent searchbar: YES, resize all widgets: YES, Wallpaper scrolling: OFF

    paranoid_changelog.png


    v1.6a

    Stable final ICS PA release.

    v05

    Based on latest CM9 nightly
    Improvements on frameworks, fixed for once and finally all DPI related crashes
    SystemUI mode can be configured now
    Cleanup and speedup of hybrid code via native libs (I'd say 25%)
    A lot more of changes, you can check them here: https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid

    v04
    Gps fix, i hope it works fine (i just catched 14 sats)
    Long-pressing menu button shows recent app lists as before
    Some adjustments
    Improvements on OTA app, scheduled checkups
    Improvements on Backup app, now it automatically launches on startup after you install a newer (or older) version
    Hybrid speedup, less lag, considerably faster list scrolling when pad/pal is in action
    Keyboard scaling, an androids first
    PAD/PAL bugfixes for apps that still crop images in lower dpis
    Settings revamp, speed preferences to switch between modes without having to set up anything, less clutter
    Trebuchet extras: 3x4 widgets, speed dial menu button, ... and some weird rocket button which im sure will be very useful to most of you
    Pad.prop revamp, new preferences that should pretty much nail it. Im sorry but this trashes your old settings again, do not attempt to restore them unless you do it in a text editor

    v03

    New Hybrid code, keyboard troubles should be gone, apps that crop images or display weird, that should be gone aswell
    PAD/PAL work in phonemode 100%, no weird toggles and stuff like that. you get full tablet apps without caveats
    Settings cleanup, most of the garbage dpi options are gone, should be more intuitive - i ask you to not bring your old pad.props though some things changed. if you know what you do take a look and edit by hand
    Trashed our LatinIME repo - not needed anymore
    Speed improvements, all launchers are buttersmooth now
    Has all the latest CM9 additions
    New PAD/PAL code allows system-scaling finally, that means you can scale the lockscreen, dialogs, toasts, etc.
    Trebuchet comes with new menu options: 4x4 grid grid folders, options for backgrounds, tablet effects
    New cool backup app for pad.prop, *maybe* even an OTA app, either 1.2 or 1.3
    New panel options and descriptions
    Hide status-bar clock doesnt hide HOLO clock in notification center
    Number of notification icons definable in settings
    Tons of fixes and improvements

    2) New feature - Per App Layout, allows you to force each app to work in your desire mode with tablet or phone layout.
    3) Improved settings panel
    4) Fixed keyboard/camera/etc layout bugs, basically all layout bugs can be fixed using PAD/PAL settings.
    5) Home button long-press now works in tablet mode

    Included all settings/options from GS2 build like these:

    4) Statusbar Transparency
    5) Recent apps options + Sense recent apps layout mode
    6) Ability to disable physical keys
    7) Sound management panel
    66
    Reuploading v02 package without format commands.
    I'm waiting for clarification of this situation from CM9 devs because their packages contain same update scripts and binaries.

    As for update - I'm hoping for today's evening if everything goes fine.

    Summary of Kernels - Updated 21/07/12

    sorry guys,
    what is the best kernel to use with this rom?
    thanks
    ^^ As such there is no single commonly acknowledged "best" kernel for Paranoid Android.
    But i can list the choice available currently.

    1)Kernel_CM9_RC2_20120719_CWM_Flashable
    The recovery is updated to latest version - CWMR 6.0.0.2, without the lag found in previous 5.5.x.x bundled with CM9 till now.Moreover performing a Nandroid backup is now super fast and is only 30-35mb large!, for a ROM which already has one fullbackup. It may also incorporate the 5.6.x.x protection of chainfire in recovery against emmc bug (maybe redundant in this case as CM9 already has protection against it).Finally its the release candidate 2 (RC2), so we can generally expect improvements in kernel characteristics compared to the bundled kernel of PA 0.5 (AFAIK its based on 10/7 nightly). This is assuming Imilka has not made any PA specific modifications to the bundled kernel to go along with the PA ROM - but this has to be confirmed.

    2)AniDroid (links below)
    This a version of CM9 kernel which supports Overclocking by NovicDev.It is super snappy and fast (quadrant scores maynot always show this). However, apps cannot be installed on SD card on this kernel(yet) - (imo, this is not a big nag as Note has lot of RAM). But this kernel is new and holds a lot of promise in its future iterations.
    AniDroid v5
    AniDroid v4

    3)Asylum BBQ Kernels
    This is a variation of AniDroid v4 - it has been optimised for framework of Asylum ROM - its fast and snappy with good battery life on Asylum ROM. No one reported its effects on PA 0.5. But i think it doesnt have the SD card installation problem of AniDroid.
    Asylum BBQ v19 - Based on CM9RC2
    Asylum BBQ v18 - Based on Anidroid v4

    4)Old CM9 Nightlies (links below) - as with all development, bugfixes frequently tend to break code somewhere else - so improvement is definitely palpable over long periods but is not guaranteed in immediate iterations. So if your latest kernel update has broken your previous good functionality (wifi,gps,battery etc) you can revert to an older kernel. However this zeroing onto the kernel which works for you is a trial and error process completely.

    Kernel_CM9_20120707_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120708_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120709_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120710_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120712_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120715_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120717_CWM_Flashable
    Kernel_CM9_20120721_CWM_Flashable - Recovery updated to 6.0.1.0 CWM

    5)Thor kernel v17 - it is a Kangbanged kernel (i.e palgarised from various sources without acknowledging the original devs - it is not opensource so you cant be sure of your privacy - your confidential passwords may get pasted over the net ! - lol) ,however it supports OC . Another nag with it is it has a "Thor" customrecovery bundled with it - its compatiability and performance with previous nandroid backups is unknown. IMO AniDroid kernel is as good if not better. Only advantage of Thor is that its latest iteration incorporates some form of Spen offset correction - which is a novel feature and deserves appreciation. Iam not going to link to it as its against xda rules.

    6)Bundled Kernels
    After flashing one of the above if you want to revert back to the kernel originally bundled with your PA rom you can choose it below(incase you dont have a nandroid backup).
    ParanoidDroid kernel v0.5
    Staxxtanium 1.6aF

    Quick walkthrough on flashing kernels
    1)Backup your ROM.
    2)Flash Jbroid Kernel cleaning script.
    3)Wipe Cache
    4)Wipe Dalvik
    5)Flash Kernel.

    Edit: Special Thanks goes to Chasmodo for extracting and linking up most of the kernels. Dont forget to thank him in one of his ubiquitous posts for this.

    Just to let you know - I'm working on an update.
