[EDIT] I meant GAPPs. Damnit.
Hello,
I'm at a loss for what's happening and how to fix it. My GoogleFU is failing and nothing I try seems to work.
Basically, WiFi does not work for me in CM 10.1 RC2 and it's something to do with the GAAPs. Everything is initially fine on a fresh install [edit: I don't know if it matters, but when I flash the latest milestone of AOKP WiFi never works. At the initial set up it connects but fails to authenticate over and over] and it's all going swimmingly at first. When I open the Playstore in these first few moments, it's the last version. Eventually the Playstore updates itself and that's when WiFi stops working. Nothing can connect to anything. In the Playstore I just get a 'failed to connect' message and a 'retry' button that doesn't work. The browser doesn't pull anything up and I can't get any sort of connection until I turn WiFi off and go to data.
I'm really at a loss. If it helps, I'm on the Sasktel version, but it's still the I747 [i747m in the stock ROM] which is the same as Bell/AT&T, right? So that shouldn't matter. I'm flashing the 20130301 GAAPs and even tried the 4.1.2 ones (they didn't work at all). I'm using CWMR 6.0.1.2. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with ROMs on my S3 when it was so much easier to root than my old One V (which is still running CM 10 like a champ with 0 errors - I gave that phone to my sister).
Sorry for the long post, but this has been melting my brain.
so what all are you wiping before these flashes? i would recommend data, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data when changing ROMs and especially when changing android versions (4.1 to 4.2, etc). If you have a micro sd card, place your ROM, gapps and a backup on there and go through the above wipe procedures.
you should also consider updating your recovery. 6.0.3.1 is the latest. you can flash this in recovery, go to Advanced and reboot recovery for this to take effect.
Greetings,
Starting with the first release of the combined PAC/PA/AOKP rom I have been unable to install most AOSP roms for the T-mobile Note II. Currently I was able to get AOKP 4.3.1 installed but no Paranoid, Illusion, or PAC/PA/AOKP hybrid will run. They install fine but I get all FC's once it boots. I have updated recovery, tried multiple wiping including sys, cleared cache and dalvik just before first boot and after flash, tried fixing permissions which always fails, and I tried flashing without GAPPS as well... still no dice. Any ideas? On a side note, do any of you have a good S-pen app setup while running AOSP roms. I dloaded a handful of apps but nothing feels cohesive.
Thank you
EDIT: This issue just went away on it's own. For some reason I can install whatever now and I changed nothing.... crazy.
Hello guys,
I've been using the Beta 4.0 for a while now and it works brilliantly, so I saw an update beta 3 I had to download it.
It has some bugs, not much apps like how you get in the beta, gapps not installing and my data is off but it is switched on.
Having a android phone with no gapps and data is useless, it's like having a nokia 3310, just phone text and that's it.
Please fix if possible.
Thanks

I installed PA 4.0 Beta 3 as well (yesterday) and I have none of the bugs you're describing: data (3G/2G) works, and Gapps not installing, that depends ENTIRELY on which Gapps you are using. I'm using the latest PA Gapps complete package (23/01/2014) and they just installed for me. So both of the bugs that you're experiencing are only on your end. Are you absolutely sure you set the Data icon correctly, because since Beta 3 PA uses a new Quicksettings systems. See in your systems if it's really working. Also check if your APN is still correct. Download and install the latest version of PA Gapps. If that still doesn't work, you should do a clean install (even though I didn't, I'm coming from CM11 Beta 3, just flashed the latest Gapps and PA 4.0 Beta 3 and everything was good to go).
To be honest you're being rude here and you obviously only tried installing everything once. Well this is a custom ROM scene and you need to do an effort yourself. What I see now is that you're using a "thumbs-down"-icon which is extremely discouraging, comparing this phone to an old dumb phone is also completely out of line because WiFi still works, and there are a ton of other things you could still do even without Gapps and data. This post just smells of you having a sense of entitlement, but don't forget that we're not paying deedwar. If a dev decides not to release a ROM that's very sad and it's all due to threads like these.
So what I'd like you to do now is rephrase your OP, use a positive icon and maybe we can turn this wasted thread into a discussion thread for PA Nozomi instead of a shouting contest.

That is very well said redstarr1 but i dont quite feel as strongly about it as you. I just see it as a logical statement. However it would help if you can expand on your issues somewhat. Did you do a clean install (wipe data / system / cache / dalvik) or just a dirty flash over the top. What network do you connect too and have you tried Changing your carrier in "access point names". Creating a whole thread for an issue but not elaborating on what you have and havent tried really makes it hard to help.
Beta 5
Hi guys,
The latest update beta 5 works just fine but a few bugs.
Sometimes the back button doesn't work, have to restart the phone for it to start working again.
When charging the wireless is activated, and the battery takes longer to charge.
The phone lags now and then but other than that works fine.
If anyone who can post this on the Xperia S development thread I would really appreciate it, I don't have rights to post on the development thread as yet.
Thanks
Beta 6
Hi guys,
The new update of Beta 6 for Paranoid is brilliant.
After the 1st boot the phone is a little slow but after the rom has settled it's very smooth.
So far all I have tested works perfectly, don't like the launcher much though, so I have my own custom launcher, Next launcher works brilliantly and very customizable. The new launcher's that are added aren't very good and would like if they could get the original launcher if possible.
Other than that all is well.
Thanks Paranoidanroid.
Pa beta 4.3 13052014
Thanks deedwar...the rom(PA 4.3 Beta 13052014) works like a charm. My battery lasts for a day...with data on(3G)....although there is issue of random reboots and the date setting to 1972th year...but i think it will be resolved in the next version i.e. Beta 5/6....Love your work..really appreciate it. :good:
Beta 6
Beta 6 is out..!! Great...!! Trying it now..!!
What about VOIP apps(Viber, line etc.) ? do they work on the latest build ? Cheers.
The latest build
Yes, the VOIP does work..(Viber, Skype etc.,)on the latest builds ..however, I am having a few system UI crashes while using option of any app from the notification bar..like when you're downloading an app from Playstore and which you wish to stop or pause from the by pulling down the notification bar. or using controls of the stock android walkman app.

is this room can accept for xpeeria sl lt26ii
plz help me ti find room to my phone 4.4.2
and how can use this room to my phone
I had installed beta 4. A few days ago I installed beta6 but after install and reboot sony logo appears and mobile does nothing more. I restored a backup and today I tried to install beta7 with the same problem. Has anyone the same problem or have any idea to solve it?
How did you install the ROM?
I assume you did wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing any ROM since you've installed several ROMs. If not, please do so.
Try flashing (with fastboot) a new kernel (twrp or cwm) followed by: (1) factory reset, (2) wipe cache, (3) wipe dalvik cache and then (4) install PA Beta 7.

I did factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik but It didn't work.
I had some troubles trying to restore an old backup after the last failed installation. After the failed restore I tried to install Beta 7 again and It worked. I do not know why, but now I have beta7 working perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, ant+ does not work with android version 4.3 and onwards. This has something to do with the drivers I believe (not sure though). So it doesn't matter which ROM you try: all 4.3.x or 4.4.x will not have ant+ support...
Having FCs updating from beanstalk to paranoid
Hey guys! I recently have the beanstalk rom of deedwar for the Acro S and using the current stable build of the rom which is 4.4.278 then i want to try paranoid so heres what i did

Hi,
I was on the paranoid 4.4.4 rom on my I9300, everything worked fine.
I did the last update with paranoid 5.1.1 but it didn't worked well, i have multiple error and Google service won't work anymore.
The thing is, i can't do anything at all, like restore my last backup because i lost the root access with the update.
I can't load in recovery mode, i tried the HOME+VOLUME DOWN (or up) + POWER, it won't work.
I can't fine the debug mode on this version, so i really don't know how i can at least restore my last backup to go back to the 4.4.4 version.
Any help is appreciated, thaks for your time.
Root doesn't ship with any 5.x build of paranoid android. To reset you need to boot into recovery and restore your backup or flash a different ROM.
You don't need root access for that.
It sounds like you installed an incompatible gapps....
Thanks for your reply,
I managed to boot in recovery, using a method i found on the web, i pull the battery then hold the combination keys when i put it back, and it load in recovery just fine.
I think i couldn't install the proper gapps because i was in clockwork recovery, i installed the latest TWRP, but i still can't manage to install the latest paranoid rom prpoperly.
here's what i did so far:
- wipe all/ factory reset , install Paranoid5.1.1 + Gapps 5.1 mini => paranoid load but Black screen once it's loaded with the message "Android.phone interrupted" (gross traduction) popping every 2 sec, it disapear if i put the phone on airplane mode => make me think the Google service can't connect.
- Restore my last 4.4.4 backup then => wipe cache/dalvik=>install Paranoid 5.1.1 + gapps => same as the previous problem, but this time i have my old app and i can call and receive sms.
My guess so far is a problem with the Google service who can't synchronize, the Gapps i try to use are the pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip
Any guess ?
Yeah. The problem is you are using old gapps. Use banks gapps
I had trouble with a clean install of PA 5.1 + Gapps on my S3 (i9300) and similar issues to yours, not sure why but I found that if I used th full fat "Stock" 5.1 Gapps the phone was fine and has been for a day or 2 now, the pico/mini/full seemed to be problematic (at least for me). Also moved to Philz Recovery using the "Rashr" app as my old CWM kept throwing an error of status 6 on any Gapps I downloaded... Must admit though that once stable PA Lollipop runs well on the S3 and battery seems better over the past couple of days too...
Coming from stock rooted / unlocked Touchwiz KitKat
Cm12.1 installed just fine but when I rebooted and went to flash gapps I get a non-stop error saying "there's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory data reset."
So I factory reset the device and even installed CM 12.1 without gapps and it still gives me this error.
Factory reset again, try my recovery and I get an error mentoning UID's being messed up (I did this and it did not help http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...on-finally-t3151579/post61729442#post61729442 ) . So I factory reset again and flashed CM 12.1 without gapps and everything is fine.
Boot into recovery and flash gapps and boom the error again. Seems like the only way to get rid of the error (After many trials and errors) is to Restore recovery -> factory reset -> flash rom. The only problem is when I also flash gapps the error comes back.
Now here is the part where I can use YOUR help, in TWRP I keep saying red text that says
"E:error opening '/data/data/com/google.android.gms/files/images/games/de7f5650'
E:error: Not a directory"
on everything I do, from formating the system to flashing a rom. I think this is where my problem lies.
Other notes: No sd card,
when CM is working, I am getting no reception (Looks like a full but has ! next to it)
When CM is working, the messaging app does not even open and just instantly closes
OK I'll break into parts I see 1: gapps 2 signal 3:msg app.
1: GAPPS
cm 12.1 is android 5.1.* so you need to verify you have correct gapps. Use gapps for 5.1 hopefully that will fix problem. Factory reset, flash cm 12.1, flash gapps 5.1, wipe dev/cache, and reboot. Should be working fine after.
2: Signal is due to rom bugs but usually due to bad/wrong apn settings or bad efs/modem pretty much all the time from my experience. So I'll break that down from easiest to the latter and hopefully we'll fix it.
a: check you apn settings and see the attachments. I'm on lte tmo so if you aren't the Google apn setting for your carrier.
b: flash back up of moden/efs
3: msg app might be fixed since gapps was installed but if not only thing I can think of is clear data/cache for msg app.
Hope I could help
these days I'd use LineageOS for the Note 3/SM-N900T (I use nightlies and my note 3 used on wifi only) I can't test the normal 2g 3g 4g or lte cuz I dont have a compatible sim card (I have a nano sim in my j7 prime so it won't fit) it takes a bigger sim so yeah......I have gapps installed for my android version and they work fine for me

lineageos 16.0 is what I've been running on it, i needed a newer os cuz stock 5.0 was the last official version, and pokemon go was dropping support for the note 3 with stock roms, now switching to LineageOS 17.1 on my note 3 i'll update whether gapps works so you know
LineageOS Downloads
download.lineageos.org
LineageOS 17.1 is android 10
btw I have sd cards in all my spare phones 8gb normally, so I am recommending a small sd card 4gb-16gb because it makes it easier to flash roms with twrp
google play works, gmail works, yt works, sound works, flashlight works, and camera works on LineageOS 17.1
note 3 sm-n900t
i used the nano gapps from opengapps
the newest file version of lineageos 17.1 on their site
