[ROM][4.2.2r1]p6800/p6810/i815](5OCT2013)PAC-Man ROM 4.2 Milestone1 release

[daniel_hk]

PAC stands for ParanoidAndroid + AOKP + CyanogenMod. It is mainly a cm10.1 base rom with the PA features and AOKP settings.
I decided to port PAC to our GalaxyTab 7.7 after testing it for a few days on my Nexus 7. It has the status bar in Extended Desktop that I want...Although it is harder than I thought, it is done.
Cheers!

You probably need a factory reset (even from my cm10.1 and pa3) to let the AOKP services working properly.
Do aware of the eMMC brick bug!
Good luck!

It is quite a while that I haven't update the ROMs. We are having a long holiday which allow me to work on my belove 7.7 again. Stuggling for a few days with cm10.2 on the flu. No luck for 4.3 yet! It just reboot after showing the lock screen...
The least I can do is to upgrade the existing 4.2.x. The cm source is mess up alot when trying 4.3 so I go directly to PAC. It is the release version of PAC now and probably the last 4.2.2 PAC. I'll try 4.3 again when I'm free...

FAQ

Q: Where is the developer options settings?
A: the "developer options" is hidden in 4.2.1 (cm10.1, pa3.0)
　to show it in settings:
　in:
　　settings > about
　hit the "build number" 7 times (hints will be shown after the 3rd time)

Q: How to avoid the emmc brick bug when flashing
A: if coming from stock ics. Here is one of the easier way:

1. flash the rom (and gapps) in recovery. don't do factory rest and any wiping!
2. reset to recovery again.
3. do factory reset or wipe data
4. reset and enjoy!

Q: How to set the InCall screen to protrait?
A: In 4.2.x, the InCall screen orientation is determined by the calling card which doesn't handle rotation.
　Hance remain at 0 degree (Landscape for our tab) all the time.
　To set the inCall screen to portriat, you need an external app (eg. Ultimate rotation) to force Contact.apk to portriat.

Q: How to avoid error messages after a dirty flash from PA or cm10.1?
A: After a dirty flash (without factory reset), you may encounter a series of error dialog (mostly the xxx.acore.xx process).
　This is deal to the mismatching layout data when attempt to sync. You may try this:
　　Settings > Apps > ALL
　Clearing the data of Contact Storage, Google Contacts Sync and some other apps might need sync...
　If still doesn't work, it's about time to do a factory reset...

I am thinking of trying erobot rom but I notice ur new PAC man rom. Will consider trying since my PA3 with v6supercharger will freeze and reboot after using for a while.

Awesome surprise

Outstanding effort as always. Thank you Sir.

Exciting work, Daniel. I'll be trying this out this weekend. Very curious to see reactions to battery life, WiFi, GPS, etc.

Hey Daniel, super excited about PAC for 7.7, thanks so much for your hard work!

Which kernel did you use for this ROM, and are previous kernels still compatible with it (e.g. kernel-a and -s from 2 jun)?

It is the kernel-s at Jun 2. The kernels I posted earlier is woking on this rom too..

Wow, great ROM(s)

Do you ever think you'll build an AOSP ROM with stock Android?

Quick share of my first impressions:

quick share of my first impressions:
Pacman ROM is booting fine on my 6810. Had been short in time and therefore just tested for 10-20 min.
I came with a dirty flash (no wipe) from PA 3.60 over (again for one day) cm 10.1 to Pacman Rom + the linked PA-gapps from june.


As usual when doing a dirty flash and experience problems with processes like “package helper” or “android.process.acore” or else: it is always useful to quickly remove the google account and clear all app data for everything which is google and framework related.
(Clearing contact storage solves for example the “acore” problem. I always clear all of the rest like package helper, google playstore, all backup things and so on and so on. – it is faster than making a full wipe)

Coming to the rom:
Everything I tried out in this short time is working fine. Wifi, Camera. Performance is good, similar to PA 3.6 (I always felt that CM10.1 is more fluid). In performance settings I had not been able to go >1400 MHz but with other tools I went back to the OC value of 1600 MHz. Hybrid settings work as they should. For testing GPS I had no time left, work was calling me back to office.
Ram consumption is a little bit high!
But next time I will choose different gapps package, because this installs tons of gapps, which I actually do not need on my tablet. And then I will look what else apps integrated into the rom is eating memory. - I like tuning!

As obviously expected “pimp my rom” is working fine and the mali-status from the i9100 brothers is not working (think it is kernel related).
Since performance of hybrid roms as PA 3.60 and now PACman increased near to a CM10.1 level, personally I think I found a new daily driver rom.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Great work Daniel! Our savior and protector of our loved 7.7 tabs! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It is very nice to know that you now use a new rom code basis and continue the highly appreciated work. – So thankful!!!!!!!

PA3 is an AOSP base rom. Some of the cool features like PIE is not in stock AOSP rom.

 

[TarjeiB]

Great - going to test this one out!

One thing - does it have Fast Charge in the kernel like most AOKP roms?

 

[hillzx]

Can not change APN, com.android.phone error

Can not change APN, com.android.phone error

Oh.. It might use CM‘s APN settings. The phone app need a patch then...:cyclops:

Will be fixed in the next release. Or may be a patch..

Briefly tested this last night. I did have to do a factory reset because of the FCs. Upon doing that, I restored my user apps with Titanium, and all seemed OK. However, I had some weirdness with the UI. For example, I did not get the "holo style" menu buttons (at the top right of the screen) in my apps, even where I'd gotten them previously (in PA 3.6). Also, PIE did not show all information (like connected hotspot and notifications). I also had trouble resizing widgets, etc. within ADW. So, I restored PA 3.6 for now so I have a usable tablet.

I'm not sure what happened. If/when I have more time to experiment, I will try again because I love all the settings options on this ROM! Seems like the best of all worlds!!!

 

[Espen96]

[Diabl0z]
