[Q] Questions about PAC-man and debugging - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Newb here,
Couple of quick questions:
First, how can I get involved in debugging problems with roms.
For example on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 with the latest PAC-man rom installed:
1) I get a timeout error when I use the stock cyanogenmod file transfer utility to try to move a 1.8 Gb file from the sd card to my device's local storage.
2) My phone crashes when I use my smart dock.
I'm asking not to get my problems fixed, but moreso because I would like to give back to the community by helping out.
Thanks in advance.

I'd guess your issues stem from aosp not having the drivers to talk to the smart dock.

Yeah I figured as much.
I wanted to see if there was something I could do to get it included.

Any roms that use UMS?(USB Mass Media Storage).

I have a ICS rom(Blue Kuban) on my Epic Touch that has USB Storage built in,it functions the same way it did on Gingerbread.With this i can connect and copy files to my PS3 and 360.
Do we have any roms with this hack?

Im talking about Mass Storage mode.On Epic Touch they have roms with it baked in.
Regular ics does not have Mass Storage mode,so we cannot connect it to ps3 or xbox like we was able to on gingerbread oand froyo.
To answer your question short and simple, No. And tbh, I don't see it coming soon. MTP is a much more efficient AND faster way to transfer files between your computer and the device. Hence why it was used instead of UMS.

Funny you say that because most Epic Touch roms have it baked in,and there is threads all over internet because people are asking for it back.
It might be more efficient but you cant connect it to any other device besides pc and pc's are getting used less and less nowadays.

[Q] [REQ ROM PORT] This is a CM10 plus S Pen support ROM we NEED IT!

Above is the link to the 7100 ROM it looks amazing.... What does it take to make this flash-able onto our T Mobile devices... If it doesn't include a radio couldn't we just flash it? I am too scared to flash and try...its less scary to post a new thread ask you to try...haha. If a devo could shed some light or a brave soul could "test" it that would be great.

You can flash it. If you want to lose your radio. Unfortunately even if the 7100 rom does not include radio we have significant differences in our hardware that causes the radio not to work. Most likely something in the ril or kernel I believe (I could be wrong about the reasons). We dont have an AOSP kernel for the 7105 or tmo version.
Thank you sir... man, I really want that ROM. Was using XquiziT's ROM but the was having a couple problems with it and now the future for it looks bleak. (What I liked so much was the AOSP parts added in) Going to give Saurom a go now I guess.

I am TRUSTING you!!! Don't let me down.... LOL (Ref: "..but we will catch up..")
we need some devs solely working on what needs to be done for porting from one device to another. the fact that the ROM even functions on our device without modification should be a decent indicator of how close we are.
look in the US SGS3 section, 4 variants all with small differences and porting roms between those 4 is a piece of cake.
if someone could make a stand alone CWM.zip that we flash after a N7100 ROM that gave us back the radio it would be perfect. then we could just run any N7100 rom we wanted, no porting needed.

well as much as i love the note 2 if we don't get any aosp love soon ill probably swap devices with my wife. at least her sg3 has cm10/aokp. again not complaining, i just hope development picks up. i was thinking about getting a nexus 4 to tide me over but i hate lg. if anything i still hope the note 2 see's android 4.2.
I am curious. I have had CM/AOKP for years with my other phones. With this one seems a lot of the features I really love are here. What do you feel is missing from TW that AOKP/CM gives you. I am not a fan of TW colors but overall it is good (and I xan theme colors away). Only thing I really miss from AOKP is the wigets popup from nav bar.
Aosp is lighter and for me runs better.

I would agree on most older phones....this one I have not had any slowdowns. ....that I did not cause (changing files in system causes FCs sometimes lol)
Im not saying options are bad or that I would not flash AOSP but just wondering why people feel they need it.

Personally I really look forward to having a ROM with mass storage support. Since Google removed it from Android, I am no longer able to connect my phone to Linux for easy transfer of files and have to use all kinds of alternatives.
Not sure it can't be done on a TW based ROM, but CM/AOKP ROMs seem to more commonly introduce it like the one mentioned in this thread.

I second the motion for USB mass storage functions. Maybe wi-fi direct or other technology will supersede it, but it would be nice to have the capabilities meantime.

This I can understand I really wish google made ums/mass storage an option. I understand why they went with ums but options are always nice.
Reasons why I think they went UMS
1) ability to keep sdcard mounted while connected to computer
2) ability to mount /sdcard on /data/media making the internal sdcard the same as the internal data memory
3) most people people use windows
4) the option to turn it on/off may confise some people.
The only one I disagree with is number 4. Stupidd people will find a way to be stupid no matter how much you coddle them.

Thanks for this. Always great to see other options.
Any chance on you building Paranoid Android nightlies? I'm sure that alone would get you a hefty following and would qualify you as "DA MAN!" :good: Great idea on the one stop shop thread and thanks for using your time and resources for the community :highfive:

I think the PA preferences is closed source for now. If I remember correctly from the build instructions on the PA site if you want to build you need to take the PA preferences .apk out of their ROM packages & put it in the zip manually ('er something like that).
Ya on there site it says to drag and drop in the paranoidpreferences.apk from an existing rom. So use the one from their Rom please

I put it into my gapps package so I wouldn't have to do it for every nightly, but it didn't work. When I go to ParanoidPrefrences in settings it seems to open (white screen and says ParanoidPrefrences at the top, but almost immediately disappears back to settings. I used to use PACman ROM and it also didn't include ParanoidPrefrences and the method I'm doing now worked for that, so I'm not sure why it's not now. I'll do more investigating with logcat and such, but if anyone else gets it working I'd appreciate if you tell me how.

EDIT: I attached a logcat of opening Hybrid properties under settings and it closing (like I said, not a FC... it just disappears.) I know you're just building their source so there's probably not much you can do but perhaps it has something to do with the way it's being compiled. Or maybe there were just some bad commits in this particular instance. Who knows. Anyways, I haven't had a chance to look at this yet but I'll try to tonight. In the mean time perhaps someone who actually knows what's going on could look it over.
quick question is droid concepts 4.2.1?

Installing stock Android on a Galaxy Note 8.0

Hi, I've never done anything with Android. I recently received a Galaxy Note 8.0 as a gift and I want to install stock android (i.e. Nexus 7). Can anyone here either explain the steps I will need to go through or point me in the right direction? Is this even possible?
Since I've never done any Android rooting, I don't exactly understand much of the lingo used here. If someone could say "to put stock Android on a Galaxy Note 8.0, you need to use X and X" that would be great. I can probably figure it out from there.
Thanks!
Do you realise that if you did this, then the pen would no longer function? And this is the feature that you have paid the premium price for.

It's possible but are you sure you are really wanting to do this? It will remove all the pen functionality from the device which is what the device is most noted for. Just out of curiosity, what are you wanting to achieve? A cleaner or leaner ROM?

I hadn't thought of that. I don't really need the pen anyway. But how could I get a leaner ROM (get rid of TouchWiz) and still use the pen?
What are you expecting to get out of rooting?

If there was CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM for Note 8, the pen would probably work - it does on those ROMs for e.g. Note 1.
But all the stock apps don't work there - no S-Notes, S-Calendar etc.
Anyway, if I'm not wrong, no such ROM yet - so far development forum contains two modifications of stock ROM.
There are other options for those apps in the play store, they are fairly good options too. That being said, I'm sure it is quite a task to bring AOSP to this device as we barely have working recoveries at this point.

Absolutely yes (e.g. Papyrus), but each thread of non-stock ROMs is filled with questions on "how to have TW apps working here", and the answer is always "can't be done".

This here is your best bet if you want any solid pen functionality. The reason the apps wont work with aosp is because the s pen relies heavily on tw framework. Its difficult and fairly redundant to port if over to a aosp rom. Im working on an up to date version of the rom i used to maintain on the att gn2 but havent had much time do much but itll bring.a.fair.amount of aosp apps when its complete.

I can't be the only one

I LOVE the feel of vanilla android, which is why I had a nexus 4, and a GNEX before that. But at the moment I am using a galaxy s3. First thing I did was root and start going through custom ROMs.
The problem I am having is EVERY aosp, aokp, cm ROM I have tried I have serious issues with WiFi. Tends to work fine during set up and for a while after that, but after a seemingly random amount of time it will shut off the WiFi and fail to turn back on until I reboot.
I have been searching for a couple hours for a solution with no luck. Has anyone else been having this problem, and if so is there a solution?
Thanks in Advance.

I had the same problem. Try LiquidSmooth.

I have tried liquid smooth, pacman, dirty unicorn, and a couple others. Every touchwiz ROM I try WiFi is perfect.
I use twrp to wipe data, cache, system, and dalvik several times. Then I install ROM, wipe dalvik again, reboot system. Let it be for usually 10 minutes or so, restart the phone and go. Works great for a minute, then the WiFi issues...
Update your bootloader possibly? Change your modem.

It's certainly an option. Haven't used the ROM, but it looks good.
I was mostly responding because I always insisted on using AOSP ROMs also. I just got fed up with all the issues (at the time), and went back to TW. I don't particularly like the way it looks, but I don't really see the menus. The homescreen is the exact same (Nova). All the apps are the same. What I'm saying is the aesthetics can be overlooked.
Stuff from sources are always more stable than when there isn't , understand that and you'll know the troubles that comes with it.

I'll stand by this, great rom and super fast. Personally, I haven't had any wifi problems with liquid smooth though.
His rom is amazing and all, but there are differences in AOSP and twiz no matter how much we try to separate them both.
