[Q] P.A.C Man Rom & underclocking??

Hello, idk if I'm posting in the right area so please forgive me for any mistakes i made but i have two questions if anyone would kindly answer for me. I recently installed P.A.C Man Rom and for the most part i love it, the only problem i seem to get is the battery life drains pretty quickly & the phone gets a little warm when the screen is on. I don't know if that's normal but I'm wondering if i underclock it would that possibly fix my two problems I'm having and if so could anyone recommend what i should set it to and which is the best governor to use.
Thank You in advance for your guy's help with my newbie questions lol

You could try another kernal but it won't help cause we don't know what exactly your battery is.
I suggest going on Google and type, "Betterbatterystats xda" on Google and download the latest version. It's an app that tells you about your battery usage in depth so you will see what exactly is killing your battery.
Did you just flash the rom? If you did, wait a few days for everything to settle down. Battery should get better as a day or two progress.
I suggest taking a look at these threads. Plenty of great advice and tips for you to read.

Aldo check your baseband. If you are currently on MD5, try using the LJC modem. A few people have reported similar things when using this baseband with CM/AOSP based roms.

You do have a playstore right? If I'm not mistaken you need to flash gapps after pacman to get the playstore.

[Q]

I have 2 Wind Mobile GS3's and when I put any custom rom on my fiancees S3 when I am on the phone with her in between the conversation all of a sudden I will hear a loud noise that I can only describe as a transformer transforming in the speaker..It seems to be fine when it is running the stock Touchwiz with Root injected into it but as soon as I rom it the sound comes back. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and was able to find a fix for it. Thanks for the help

What rom, kernel, and mods do you have on it?

Stockorama V2 with T-Mobile (Canada): Stock Kernel and no mods. I was using this as well and I never get the issues that my girlfriend is having. I am currently running Hyperdrive RLS14 with its stock T-Mobile Kernal and no mods and have no issues what so ever.

That's strange. Have you searched the rom thread to see if anyone else reported the same thing?
If they haven't, and you want to still use it, I'd backup and then wipe all data, including internal sd. Then flash the rom from a new download. Then test before adding anything back on.

I looked for anyone reporting issues like mine and I didnt find any. I wiped the phone entirely and was unable to get it to work without the voice being all messed up. I think I may have to just keep regular Stock Root on the device for now but the thing that confuses me is the fact that my device is fine and hers isnt..

It could be a minor defect in a certain part, or just due to "no two chips are truely equal".
It is quite odf. Hopefully someone else may have an idea, but you may want to look into warranty options.
Actually, you could try flashing a custom kernel such as ktoonsez. See if that helps.

I tried the ktoonsez kernal and it still did it..I also put it to just pure touchwiz with root and it was worse then before..I am looking into warrenty options now because this is beyond weird now. Thank you for all the help with this!!

That may be your best option, especially if its doing it all stock now too.
If you wanted to try one more thing, you could see if flashing an audio mod would help. (beats ir something like that)
Can't remember what's available for our phone, but check the sticky in Themes and Apps section and you should find a link in there.

[ROM] [PORT] 4.3.0 CM 10.2 for d2spr

Hey ladies and gents!
I have ported a rom from our brother, d2vzw. I did some stuff so when you install this instead of downloading from d2vzw forum on this sight, your phone wont go into a boot loop or anally rape you. I really didn't need to do much work, since the hardware is identical.
1) since this from a Verizon device, will I lose service?
Probably not. I typed this topic on the cm10.2 build, and I can call and text.
2) is there focal included?
Yes!!
3) what should I do in case of errors?
Backup....duhh.
Finally, I'm not responsible for anything that you do. If you do anything that loses data, boot loop, or anything that you find an inconvience, well I'm not responsible, and you got yourself a beautiful paperweight.
And if you run into any issues/bugs let me know. I'll be happy to redirect you to the Verizon forums. I ported this. All credit and development go to damnyouwaffles and the fine folks at the Verizon forum.
Download (for d2spr): http://db.tt/cM970gM0
Finally if you want the gapps go to goo.im for the newest gapps for android 4.3

One thing to keep in mind when going from 4.1.2/4.2.2 to 4.3 - you won't be able to restore backups (ie. Titanium) after the upgrade due to changes in the file structure in the new version. This goes for both apps and their associated data.
However, you should be able to restore your apps at least when you run through the setup process and download them from Google (as long as you are keeping your phone synced up to your account that is).
Same goes for trying to restore apps taken on 4.3 to an older version.
Just something I thought I'd pass along.

Hey guys, sorry about the inconvience, but I never edited the build.prop to say that your phone is still a sprint s3. Here's the link for the updated build.prop
Download link: http://db.tt/aIMuO81N
Once downloaded you must replace the current build.prop in /system

Here's a source build for the d2spr, it was within the 10.1 thread but didn't warrant it's own separate thread as it's still early for it's own thread for anyone interested. Built today.

uh you guys, you can build actual d2spr build from sources.

You are totally correct. Titanium backup and related apps will work a lot differently when the appropriate updates come.
NOTE TO USERS WHO INSTALL THIS ROM. WHEN YOU INSTALL GOOGLE APPS FOR ANDROID 4.3, SOME APS WILL FC FREQUENTLY. THE FIX AROUND THIS IS TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE APPS.

Or you can do 1/10th of the work and port it and still have a fully functioning ROM.

DUDE - I DID read. I just wanted an update since a few hours ago to see how this specific rom was running. I can't stand people that just tell others to "read." You must assume that everyone but you is an idiot and I am sorry to disappoint you. I guess people like me completely ruin your day. Such a shame. I will be sure not to disappoint you in the future. Maybe you didn't realize that the person only two posts above yours mentioned the fix for lost root without even a link. Maybe I am not the one who needs to do the reading.
And...I am NOT a NOOB - I have been a member longer than YOU. Have a nice day!

So...I got a PM from a newer user who can't post yet but he wanted to make sure that I knew what to do to ensure flashing this Rom will be effective. Here is what he said:
"Apparently I can't post in the developer forums until I've made 10 posts, but I registered just so I could answer your question. Installing the rom and allowing it to boot, then installing gapps wouldn't let me use wifi either. In order to get 10.2 to work correctly I had to flash the rom, 4.3 gapps, and SuperSU all at the same time in one recovery boot session."
So if you plan on giving this Rom a run, give that a shot for the best results. Glad I got my answer.

did you try the root fix? maybe even have a link? can i use any su flashable zip?
thanks in advance

Apps 2 SD

Have a note 2 and didnt realize you couldnt move apps to sd until after buying the phone. So now I need to get around that restriction.
My device is rooted and on stock rom.
Can someone please point me to instructions for setting up apps 2 sd, or doing the internal v external sd swap?
Thanks in advance for the help

Foldermount can help you...

I think that's an Android jb issue rather than a fault of the phone.
I use the memory swap now, I used to use directory bind, and it works perfectly

It's a ROM related issue (JB). I'm using Clean Master(App), which allowes to move at least some apps to external SD.

im using a custom rom with the memory swap baked in. But im pretty sure this is the mod/guide that im using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796
it is really good and fools the phone into using your sd card as your internal memory so no need to swap on a per app basis.
enjoy.

Thanks for pointing me to this. Can you verify for me as I cant seem to find it. Can this be used on my stock rom rooted? Or will I need to flash a new rom? Id really like to keep it stock as much as possible. Dont mind if the trash has been removed though.
I know the thread says you need a rom and kernel that supports initD, but I dont know if this does?
Also, the initial thread indicates it needs to be a international version, mine is a US from verizon. Will this still work?
Lastly, im assuming I will need to whipe my phone and start fresh?
Again thanks for all the help with this!

I'm not a hundred percent sure to be honest. But I would expect it to work on a stock rooted phone.
You would need to do a complete wipe and I think it says in the op that you're better off using the mod as soon as you do a fresh install
However, seeing as you are with Verizon I would really advise you to Flash the rom I use, Which is the Jedi rom.
It comes with some trash removed, some nice eye candy, the swap already cooked in and the new kernel is giving standby battery performance of 1% an hour.
But if you do then I suggest you wait for version 18 which is due any day.
Good luck

Has the download link been pulled? Not seeing it?

Yeah it got pulled but they are getting it up and running again the link is on page 944 it above for ease.
It'll be on the main op shortly.
No worries on the Help I don't know much but what I do know I try to share lol.

Looking for advice

Well long story short my phone took a crap and didnt want to pay a replacement fee. So im using the epic 4g till end of contract.
Now im looking to see bout running cm10.+ but says if i wanna go back i need the S1 pit file. It leads to dead links. If anyone has a good link could they send the link to me.

You only need the pit file if you're going back to totally stock condition. To switch/revert to anything that runs on MTD partition format (i.e. all recent custom ROMs), including a few Gingerbread-TouchWiz-based ones, all you need to do is wipe and flash the package.
And for me official CM beats everything else in terms of stability.

They're all good with battery life, but we are using a very old phone. If you experience crap battery life, you may want to consider buying a new Samsung battery. I'd recommend the Epic 4G Touch's battery off Amazon.
Gingerbread will always have the best battery life on our phone.
There aren't many ICS roms in the first 5 pages of the dev forum, but they're ok.
JB is the latest set of actively developed roms. Each phone reacts differently to the resource needs.

Guess ill be getting a new battery. With very little use i lose between 5 to 8 percent an hour. Im hoping at least cm10.1 will work good enough for a daily. Honestly with an older phone its really not bad just battery been a bummer.
