I tried to find out something about the background of PA. But nothing except a few hints.
What's the story behind PA, the people, nation (initially Germany? Is this right?), etc...

Hi,
I've been using my own builds of 4.2.1 AOSP (i.e. jb-mr1-release), and AOKP (jb-mr1), and have been receiving a great many signal 3s (appearing in the log as: many 'threadid=3: reacting to signal 3' entries, and which cause a bugreport to be built and saved to the SDCard, as well as the phone vibrating, etc). Since I've been doing custom dev on the framework, I originally thought it was my code, but it turns out this happens with or without my custom code.
My AOSP builds include the additional binary drivers taken from the official 4.2.1 image, and AOKP includes them by default so I haven't added them to that myself.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else is similarly getting a lot these messages. Also, if anyone has a good source for how to better interpret bugreport txt output, that would be excellent too.
Cheers.
So, I'm thinking I broke my phone or something here. After playing around with paranoid android for a while, and trying different sizes for everything, my screen is now super grainy, even when back to standard settings. I've played with stuff in the performance tab, and nothing seems to change it. I even tried a system wipe and reflash, and it still looks like ass. Any body else experience this?
Hmm ... ask in paranoid thread
no problem at all with stock 4.1.2 LL7 Rom
Hello everyone!
I've been busy lately flashing different roms to my t989, trying to solve the problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161262.
I've tried some of the newest roms and kernels (All-star 4.2, CM10, 10.1, AOKP) but the issue is still there. The attached APK on that thread does not work And I have no idea how to do the kernel modification ;(
Anything that can be done to solve it? The touchscreen sensitivy option is grayed out on the roms I've tried so far. It's annoying on games like Modern Combat, or TeamViewer (mouse is jumpy). Or do I have to modify an existing kernel? :crying:
Thanks!
I have just noticed this problem.. no wonder the touchscreen sometimes jumps in Dead Trigger
Thank you for bringing this up, hopefully the kernel devs will take a look at this and probably fix this
It could be a slider or something like that :laugh:
I just noticed that, I was noticing lag, mainly in the youtube application when i'm scrolling, thought it was my rom or phone. I notice it as well with the ripple lock option in embryo 6.
Hello all, I'm new here so I apologize if I may be posting in the wrong area. I have the SGH-i747, running on the latest cm10.2 nightly (10.2-20131005-NIGHTLY-d2att) and I have been having strange issues with some applications, mostly games. Upon opening an app, the screen just goes black and nothing else happens. This happens mostly in a lot of my favorite games, like Subway Surfers, Army trucks driver, Zombie Highway, etc.
Is there a fix to this issue? I browsed around the forums and many other sites and couldn't find anything related to my issue. Is it just my phone?
I should also mention all mentioned apps work perfectly on tw, it seems to just be AOSP-based roms.
Hey guys how are you doing?
I don't know if this is supposed to be normal but my Nexus is becoming really slow. I've compared it with my father's Samsung Galaxy Gio (yes, that damn piece of brick) running a port of CM10 called Xperia Jelly Bean with an overclock to 1GHz (without messing with the low freqs) and my Nexus running CM11 was slower in terms of opening the SMS app, the contacts, the settings and so on.
I've tried everything, wiping every partition in the phone and installing many roms (CM12, fresh's AOSP Lollipop, CM11, Vanir, LiquidSmooth, CarbonRom, SlimRom, etc) and I even tried different kernels (DirtyV, Fancy and Franco for KK roms and BSmitty's kernel for L) but my perfomance goes from bad to even worse.
Most roms come with many apps I don't use like apollo, stock camera, stock messaging, aosp email app, lancher3 or trebuchet (I like google now but I tested not changing the launcher and it's about the same performance) and the default browser app, so I usually delete them with titanium backup.
I heard some weird sounds when I was with lollipop roms that worried me since I've never heard those sounds (looked like something tiny blowing up) so I am a little worried that those things caused some hardware to start malfunctioning or even stopped working. I am also having now troube with flashing a rom and it being stable. I usually wipe all the partitions, install ROM then Gapps (the most minimal ones) and then Kernel, wipe Cache again, reboot. Set everything (Gmail account and custom rom things like notification bar, locksreen, etc), reinstall the apps I need from google play, change to ART if needed/avaiable and go on. But sometime later the phone starts freezing and ends up turning off and when it turns on it stucks on the boot so I need to reinstall the rom.
What am I doing wrong? What can cause my device to behave like this? Is it a likely end of my device? I am worried and have little knowledge xd. Should I flash a stock rom? Which version is the more appropriate? What do you recommend for custom ROM, am I flashing them and applying everything alright?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I did some benchmark tests and it does well as espected. Goes up to 20K with Lollipop, 15K with KitKat (1.5GHz) and 13-14K with KitKat (1.2GHz). I've tested it in FML 5.0.2 (last build) + Bsmitty kernel (about 2 weeks ago) and the KK ones I did yesterday with CM11 and fancy r60. The problem here is the menus that are freezing constantly and the basic apps that take too much time to load when compared to the time I bought it (I'm talking about Settings, Camera, Messaging, Dialer, Contacts, etc)
I feel the same way about my phone too! Btw, is installing new app on your phone slow? My phone takes about 15-20 secs to install an app.
I am by no means an expert, but the "weird sounds / stability of ROM flashing / constant freezing" that you're reporting, regardless of the ROMs that you're using, it sounds like your device may be on its last legs. How long have you had the device? Is it possible that some of your hardware components are failing?
In my own Gnex experience, I was using CM11 Snapshot ROMs for about a year. About 6 months after installing CM11, I started noticing massive slowdown and lagging. Similar to what you reported: slow launching of apps (even simple ones like the default SMS Messaging and Camera), freezing/crashing in Gmail and Chrome, very slow multitasking/tab/app switching, etc.
Google officially stopped supporting the Gnex at 4.3 so I would recommend that you try returning to the 4.3 Stock Nexus Image, and see if that improves your stability. I did that for my Gnex and installed the Xposed framework on top, and I've been happy with the results. I no longer use my Gnex as my daily phone so I can't speak to longer-term usage, but you may want to try this first before writing the device off entirely.
Well, after some time I finnaly put my phone working nicely again
I flashed and tried over and over again many combinations of rom, gapps and kernel until my phone worked nicely with something. I am with CM11 + PA Stock Gapps (with gapps-config.txt written of my own to avoid installing things I consider bloat) + Fancy Kernel (everything in their respective last versions).
Well, just an advice from me to anyone who starts having problems like me. If you are flashing much and testing many roms per day and your phone starts getting slow and not booting like it should boot (and having weird sounds) just stop for a while. Find a stable rom+kernel combination and let the phone work like that for some time. Then when you think you are ok, start flashing to your content again
