i dont know why this is happening but every do often my icon text in the app drawer gets thrown off to the right. Any idea why this would happen? Im using the latest cyanogen mod with kspec theme. My phones only having that problem along with the 3g/EDGE issues, but im no business person that has to have 3g all the time so my main concern is the alignment with the icon text. I will try to get a screen shot if possible on here. But anyone know what I can do about this?
Thanks!
has been happening for me since stock. Unsure why, reboot usually fixes it for me.
Mine too, it happens sometimes and it fixes itself sometimes. (Had to reboot sometimes too) Does the rooted user has any experience with these ? Mine is stock
This is a pretty common problem with near all N1s, looks like an update from google is needed
I restart the device and everything become alright. Thanx all
Yes my N1 is rooted and i am running CM 5.0.5 i have the latest Amon Ra Recovery (Green Care bear) and i have the black Menu bar installed...come to think of it i didn't have these problems before i installed the black menu bar, but that might just be me being picky. who knows.
stock N1 does this, usually it messes up the text on an application that has just been installed
give it a try for yourself
eventually it seems to fix itself
Heh, remember this happening the first time when I installed Cyans rom. Scared me a little, but yeah, never had a time when a reboot didn't fix it.
Mine is stock, happens to me all the time but lately every app in the drawer goes bonkers. Just add it to the list I guess, I do hope the copious software bugs are fixed before any big update come out (like flash/ 2.2 in general) . Im going to really love this phone once the UI is stable.
HI guys. I flashed the latest Nova HD build last week, and up till now it has a few problems.
Speaker not working (the normal one not the in-call speaker)
I tried playing videos on youtube and games and even my music but it does not work at all, I checked and all the volume settings are full. I have tried many solutions like rebooting the phone, reflashing the rom, blowing the speakers. It's worth noting that the sound works on my headphones when they are plugged in. HELP?!
Glitch-y notification bar
Sometimes the notification bar toggles cannot be seen and the whole notification drop-down is blank. For this one I have no idea what is going on but when I open an app or something like that and then exit the notification bar comes back. This one is just irritating, nothing much though.
Battery life isn't as good as claimed but small issue, I lived through a short battery life on my Motorola Atrix before the screen got smashed after I unbootlocked it.
Thanks in advance!!
Also..
It's worth noting that it's not a hardware issue I believe as the speaker was working on the MIUI Rom I flashed on it when I got it as a gift and never touched it until recently, and the headphone icon in the notification bar does not show up when the headphones are plugged in, and I can't remember if this is supposed to happen.

In cwm made three and flash ROM format. in aroma intaller not reformat and install the basic version (no custom). so try to find out if you have the same problem. What's important not to restore the system app with titanium backup.
Sorry for my English.
I'm sorry I didn't really get you. Are you suggesting that I flash a stock rom without backup and then switch back or flash a basic version of the rom without backup? Or flash cm9 stock without mods before switching back?

I dont have any bugs like you. Just try full wipe before flash the rom again.

Actually you need to format 2 cache and not the third (date format / factory) that will also clear the rom.In this condition do not lose anything of your information. From there, install zip from sd / sd choose zip and flash rom nova. In aroma installer asked you to select rom based (you choose the first three options) and install.
Inviato dal mio LG-P990
Sorry
Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I've been busy at school lately. Well I've basically redownloaded the rom, completely wiped the phone, including the dalvik cache, installed the rom free of any tweaks, before reinstalling the desired rom, and both have no effect on the speaker. I'm really lost but I can't really be bothered to unroot my phone and send it in, and still have to pay for it.
p.s. I have another problem. Sometimes while scrolling, the scrolling isnt smooth esp. when trying to add widgets etc. or change the app operations. Like the words all blend together for a while like it's laggin before returning to normal. Is this normal?
Thanks for all your input!
Did you try to match RIL? Download getRIL (search in google play) and see if your RIL is matching. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if what I'm saying is correct, hehehe.

Hey! Yea I would have done that if not for me being under 10 posts 0.o That's just because I never really found a need to use xda when I was on my Atrix as the Atrix forum was better.. thanks anyways ;p

I´m having quite a frustrating problem. Tried to search the net for hours, only finding a handful of people with the same issue but no solution. So, I wondered if anyone can help me out here? The problem is that my clock is not updating while screen is off. Naturally, this affects all alarms and notifications as well.
20:15 -> I adjust alarm to 20:30 and put the screen off. I press power right after the screen has gone off, and see the lockscreen.
Lockscreen informs it´s 20:15 and the alarm is set at 20:30.
20:30 -> Nothing happens.
20:45 -> I press power. Clock says 20:15 for a second. After one second, it shows 20:45, and the alarm starts ringing.
So the problem is quite easy to identify- the clock doesn´t get updated when screen is off. The moment I switch it on -seeing the lockscreen- it gets updated and acts accordingly if any alarms or notifications were to ring at the period it was not updating. However, it´s much less easy to find out what´s behind it. Could anyone spare me a hint here?
I´m running a rooted P7300 with CM10, 30/10 build. Using Tasker to underclock while the screen is off in order to preserve battery life. I thought that caused the problem, but while leaving the CPU untouched....
01:00 -> Switching tablet off, putting alarm at 9:00
09:10 -> Wife wakes me up instead of the alarm. I press power.
Clock says 8:48 for a second. After that second, it gets updated, shows 9:10, and the alarm starts ringing.
I´m getting a little clueless here, so any help would be appreciated.
Running rooted P7300 with CM10 (30/10 build).
Cheers, Henu.
EDIT: Ok, I´ve come to the conclusion that this freezing happens when entering Deep Sleep. If that could give anyone any clues?
Works on CM10 version 11-11
Hi,
I can confirm that it works correctly in CM10 from 11-11.
I only have one weird problem left: the device drains more power when turned of than in standby.
I have been running the 11_11 build since it was released and had not had clock issues until today. I am not overly technical and have no clue why it is happening again. But for as smooth as this rom is I will live with it.
When mine gets confused on time it will not reset itself once i wake the tablet up, it stays messed up until I manually fix it.

Launcher ?
Do you use the stock launcer? Mine did strange things when using the apex launcher. No problems with stock launcher from cm10.
I am using the stock launcher but have installed nova and thinking about giving it a try

You could try the clock sync app from the play store. It worked on my phone when it had clock sync issues with a rom. Unfortunately, i'm new to xda, so I can't post the link, but just go to the play store and search for clock sync. It's by Sergey Barinov.
Thanks, but unfortunately none of this methods helped- I´m still having the same issue even with the 11/11- build, running Clock Sync as well. Anyone could shed any light here? I wish I wouldn´t have to go back to some (yuck) stock version.
I don't know if this will help but I just resolved this issue for myself. I did a factory reset. And also wiped all caches and system before flash. Then immediately after flash before rebooting system I wiped everything again except system. And then I started up and there was no issue with the clock. I'm running cm 10. I hope this helps.

Sounds like voodoo but I´m all in for trying even that. I will post the results tomorrow.
To confirm:
1) Basic superwipe procedure (factory reset/ system, cache, dalvik)
2) flash OS -> don´t boot yet up to OS like normally
3) wipe cache & dalvik
4) THEN reboot -> to OS?
Voodoo, baby.
It worked. Seriously, what the hell. My wild guess is that some file(s) might be corrupted in the actual package- and when the system notices they are missing at the first boot, it will replace them with working ones. Then again, I´m no Android/ Linux expert.
With a clean install, I ran alarm after 8 hours. Worked. Then I added Apex Launcher, waited 2 hours. Alarm went on. Installed everything again with Titanium Backup, put alarm after an hour. Still worked. So I can confirm that it´s not app- dependant but OS- dependant. However, it worked, so thanks a goddamn zillion!!!
Congratulations. Just happy to help.

I´m going to snap this piece of junk into half soon.
The problems came back, no reason why. I´m now trying one more thing, which is completely disabling Tasker, as it´s basically the only thing running while the screen is off. If that doesn´t help, i´m clueless.
EDIT: What a surprise, it didn´t help. So, it´s either non- functioning CM10 or stock ICS. I could had settled with CM9 easily, but that gave me the battery bug after two weeks. Seriously, this whole me- buying- a- tablet- and- getting- it- to- work has been a living joke. I just would love to have a stripped down OS with a Kernel supporting "all sorts of stuff" like processor speed, running app restriction, tweakable backlight etc.
Ok, so I wiped cache and dalvik and it worked for a couple of hours. Then last night the clock froze again. And this was quite interesting..
Alarm set at 10:30
I wake up 11:15 (hey, it was New Year´s Eve )
I press power and the clock says 11:15 and next alarm is set "tuesday 10:30".
Two seconds later the alarm hops into "wednesday 10:30".
Two hours later I press power, and the clock is 11:15 for a second and jumps to real time. So it´s definitely broken again.
I was just wondering- maybe I could try replacing the clock with another kernel´s version, would that be possible? Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I also tried -once again- without automatic time& date (as my connectivity is set to cut off while the screen is off) and it still didn´t alarm me until I manually pressed the screen on.
EDIT2: Ran A1 kernel, no effect, still bugged.
EDIT3: Ran Tracid´s official ICS. Worked for a day, then bugged. Same thing with A1 kernel. I also had some serious issues with MTP connection and bootloader, so I restored stock and brought it back to the store where I got it for warranty repair. They think it´s a faulty MoBo.
I´m shamelessly bumping this. I ran the stock firmware with Odin and took it to the repair, as I wrote earlier.
Got the tab from warranty repair, seems that the only thing they had performed was "software update" . Very useful for someone who is constantly switching ROMs etc... like I hadn´t tried that before.
After returning to stock and all, I installed CM10 again. And "surprisingly", the problems started again. With or without apps, launchers, cachewipes, younameit. I´m now giving this a test with the stock ROM for a couple of days. I actually hope it doesn´t work, because that would be the only reasonable thing now. If it works with the stock ROM, I´m getting clueless. Does that mean I have some sort of issue which happens only in flashed ROMs instead of the stock one? That would be just....awkward.
Hey fellas, new to modding. Have a samsung captivate. Cutting right to the chase.
So i got this phone about 1 week ago. Used the stock ROM (2.3.5) for about 2 days. Then flashed CM 10. Then flashed CM 10.1. Now today flashed "Captivating (Xperia)" ROM. I've been facing one single problem in all the ROMS (That i didn't notice in the stock ROM), the colors are not proper in the custom ROMS. Like, pixelation (on a big level) at the regions where screen's black region meets any coloured region. (I know, difficult to understand & difficult to explain as well, so i've attached 2 images to show it).
I first noticed it on the CM 10 boot animation. It was highly pixelated at edges (both inside & outside the ring). Ugly to look.
& i know that it's not the resolution problem. (My friend is using the SGS 2, flashed CM 10.1 last night, has crisp clear graphics, same res & larger screen than captivate)
It's present EVERYWHERE. In bootanimation, wallpapers, videos, apps, etc. wherever black meets any color.
What is it.? How to fix it.? Is it any soft problem or a hardware problem.?
P.S. Going to setting -> advanced -> Color Tuning -> & setting-
Red - 1.000 (Default value)
Green - 1.000 (Default value)
Blue - 1.000 (Default value)
Red Gamma - -40
Green Gamma - -40
Blue Gamma - -40
does solve it a little, still the problem is there.
Moreover, it doesn't solve the prob of the bootanimation.
What to do.?
I have followed the same path from GB to CM10 to 10.1.
Never had any color shifting or LCD problems in months of use with CM. At one point I get a yellowish tint on a Semaphore kernel. I restored an earlier CM10.0 and the problem never repeated itself.
Do you have the problem on straight, stable CM10.0?
When you got the phone on GB, did it have the Corn kernel? What were the settings in Voodoo color? That might help you understand how to tweak JB settings.

As for I can see with the pics, your gamma is off the hook. That's not by default though, there's something that was changed. Did you play with Voodoo or color settings before and after flashing?
Did you try going back to stock and reflashing? (clean flash)
Did you try using different color temperature? (cold, warm, normal)
I see you reduced your gamma by quite a lot but there should be a better solution. Unless you have some overpowered digitalizer lol. Which brings me to think, was the screen replaced?
First off, the phone came with the official samsung 2.3.5 gingerbread ROM. At that time, i didn't notice any such issues (so i guess i can conclude that they were absent at that time).
Then i put in the speedmod kernel. Flashed cm10 (stable). Had this colour problem. I've now had this color problem ever since i flashed cm10.
On an unrelated note, m getting very poor battery life. I charge the phone till 100% (I've been leaving it at charging overnight since the last 2 charges, still the problem persists), & i remove the charger at about 7 in the morning. No music. A little (& very light) gaming (temple run, subway surfers, etc) for about 30 minutes total throughout the day. Screen brightness at lowest at max times during the day. very little calling. very little messaging. Oh, & NO cellular data connection (No GPRS, EDGE, 3G or anything for internet). Only wifi. That too for around 1 hour total. & still my battery goes flat to zero in about 12 hours (or even less). Is this normal.? I don't really remember how my battery was at the stock ROM, but it's like this on CM 10. Is this normal at all.? Is there any way to check battery.? Is it just a bad battery.? Or is this just the normal battery life of this phone.? (Cuz i read samsung galaxy S review on gsmarena, which is basically the same phone, & it manages to squeeze out around 3.5 days of battery life under their tests, which include pretty heavy usage with 3g enabled all the time)
& no, i got a new phone. So i really don't think the screen was replaced. Is it possible i was cheated through the dealer somehow.? I got it over at ebay.in.
M gonna flash stock ROM in a few hours. M currently downloading this one. Is this the correct one.?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
M confused, in settings now (in cm10), it shows Baseband version - I9000UGKG3. That ain't correct. Right.? How to know which stock rom i have to flash now.? I forgot to check my stock rom's baseband. I have to use the phone in India over the Indian baseband.
EDIT: Oh & i didn't change any settings (or any voodoo settings) for any kernel or anywhere at all. i noticed that colour problem in CM 10 boot animation. Many times. Then played around with display settings in cm10.

Oh god I hope I'm not too late. The Odin you've downloaded is a old version and contains froyo bootloaders.
You'll want Odin KK4 without Bootloaders to get back to stock.
If you already flashed the other one, you're most likely back on froyo or Eclair. You'll need Odin KK4 with Bootloaders to get back to stock GB.
As for the dealer, yes, it's possible that the phone isn't actually new or that the screen was replaced.

Battery problems are user specific, not ROM specific. I'd highly suggest you get BetterBatteryStats to see what's draining your battery. Also, after flashing, it does take a couple full battery cycle to get the best outta your battery.

Hmm. Alright. But.. Really.. I've read some reviews.. (& also, i've written my usage above, is that even real.? Cuz a few weeks ago i was on motorola Defy+ & i could easily get 2 days of battery life at heavier usage than my current usage) & according to reviews, m supposed to get even more battery life on captivate.! That's why i was asking. Cuz gsmarena claims it gets 3.5 days of battery life under normal average load (Which m not even putting on it most of the time.!) & with 3g ENABLED.! (which m not enabling at all, infact no data connection via sim, only wifi, that too very less). Still just 12 hours of battery life.
Anyway, flashing stock ROM soon. Will use that for a week i think. To test out my phone. Then will see what to do.
EDIT: Another (& probably the most important) question.! Will the device still stay unlocked after flashing it back to stock ROM (i bought it factory unlocked)
the i9000 baseband is correct for cm10 captivatemtd build. captivate is a variant of galaxy s series, as is i9000.
that isn't to say that you should go flashing an i9000 rom.
captivate lacks several pieces of hardware that are in other galaxy s phones.

Unlock is permanent so you don't have to worry about that.
Getting 3.5 days with data enabled is nearly impossible with how old the phone and battery is. That would mean no sync, extremely low brightness, no widgets, no GPS/location access, perfect signal (4 bars) at all time and absolutely no gaming.
I would personally get about 2.5-3hrs on screen with my cappy, that was with data, sync, auto brightness enabled and medium usage. Back when I didn't have data though (Froyo days, with Firefly ROM), I would get at least 2 days with medium usage.
You gotta keep in mind that if that gsmarena is on a old firmware, he has about a 1/4 of the features CM has right now and well, more features = more battery drain. Also, battery highly depends on your apps/widgets, the more apps that sync, the more drain you get.
One last thing, CM isn't the only 4.2 ROM out there, feel free to try a few of them.

Alright. Right now m back to stock (2.3.5). Will keep this ROM for a few days. Check out the battery life. The max battery life i can get out of it.
& i don't know if the colour problem is still here in this ROM, but.. i really can't see it anymore. So gonna play around with this ROM. Thank you for your help people.
Oh.! Now i understand it.! M getting what is commonly called "Black Crush".!
Here's a video demonstrating it (In galaxy note & comparing it with a normal captivate)

That's why my screen colors were problematic.! & maybe still are problematic. Although i don't think m getting the black crush at THAT level. Any way to solve this issue.? :\

First time I hear about this so I dunno if there's a fix or not (other than getting another digitalizer).

M not gonna get a new digitalizer for it. Definitely not. I bought this phone just for general usage plus listening music. The colour problem has almost vanished ever since i flashed the stock ROM. The battery has also considerably increased.
I will live with the colour problem if i have to. It won't be worth buying a new digitalizer & replacing the old one.

After your testing, feel free to try another custom ROM, maybe other than CM this time and see if you get better results.

Okay. will do.
just confirmed another thing. I just flashed cm10.1 (directly from stock)
Now, I can see the color prob. only in the videos though. not images. anyway, it's confirmed new w.. the problem is not there on the stock ROM, but present in the cm 10, 10.1, n the xperia ROM.
n I've also noticed changing gamma values (all to -40) will reduce the prob by a large margin. dunno what the issue is here.
anyway, flashing semaphore kernel with voodoo colour settings now. will post the result in a few hours (or maybe tomorrow morning). all of your help is really appreciated.
EDIT: Flashing with the semaphore kernel with voodoo settings made it much worse. It made that colour problem MUCH MORE noticable. I mean i could literally see thousands of flawed pixels in every frame.!
Will stick with CM 10 stock kernel.

PAC ROM on Tenderloin/ HP Touchpad
Hopefully, I am not the only one with this issue. I have searched around but no answers
I installed the latest PAC ROM on my Touchpad and have been able to update it to 4.4.4. I moved over from Evervolv and the performance jump appears to be significant. I do get the sense that the screen resolution/display is a bit reduced and not as high quality as the Evervolv version but it could be a simple case of my eyes deceiving me.
Regardless, here is my question - I have set up multiple users with me being the owner/administrator and the other accounts set up as restricted users .
The device works fine under the Administrator/Owner account. However, the restricted user accounts do not work. I have setup three different accounts and selection of any one of them after startup causes a reboot. Switching from an Administrator/Owner account to the restricted account also leads to a reboot.
Would appreciate any help/guidance/suggestions on how this can be fixed. Thanks.
My device take so long to reboot and also big lack when I use power or home button to wake up the screen. Other than that I love this Rom and using in severeal devices. Running latest 10-31 here.

Any one wanting to help me? Or do I have to post 10 of these silly notes to get to post to the real forums?
Hi
Thanks for the rom, I've had a coupe of issues, hope this feedback helps. The first one was after installing the 3.0 kernel 18 nov rom, mounting the ext partition on Windows 7 was flaky. Attempting to copy large chunks of data back to touchpad would freeze after about 100 to 300 mb. However, plugging in since had worked fine. Strange.
Trebuchet was scaling icons on home screens and drawer. Switched to nova and all looks better.
Next is the pac settings. Just enabling halo once has messed things up with the button bar. Back stopped doing any actions. The button settings section is broken, with buttons and lastly sub menu having top headings of rearrange/settings repeating every time you switch to the settings app. When it's like this neither rearrange our settings respond to key press.
After a reboot back button works for a while, and then stops working (across all apps and launcher).
Flashed 24Nov, back button issue still there, now considering to remove user data. If there's an option to restore pac defaults I might try that.

Or your issue is so specific that no one else has reported it, and since it's not repeatable, no one can help you. Most likely any issue with multiuser in CM11 is with Android itself, not the ROM. Try some other ROM and see if you have the same problem.

Very valid.........or it could be that there is a problem with the ROM?!
I had a different ROM about two months ago and multi-user worked fine on it. I switched to this ROM for performance. Although I was able to setup multiple users on this ROM, I cannot log in to the additional user accounts that have been setup
Hoping it is a bug with this ROM and I can get educated on the option to fix it. Please help and bump to the regular discussion thread where I can post my request.
Thanks
shumash, thanks for posting the query to the main forum....no answers but that is not the point. Thank you for being helpful and for taking the time. Appreciate it.
Hopefully, there will be an answer OR it might that the ROM does not support this feature. Via a terminal window, I have verified that Android is reporting the max number of users that have been setup. So, have to think it might be bug in the ROM.

I just setup another user account (not a restricted one). Rebooted and logged in with no problems. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be with the ROM.

Good golly, that is good news indeed!
So, I retraced all of the work. This time, instead of restricted users, I setup up regular additional users. Kept my fingers crossed, waited for the planets and the stars to align and watched the screen closely. No go. So, something is not quite right then at my end. shumash, thanks for the confirmation.
I did the next best thing. I updated the ROM from Oct 13 build to the latest. Cleaned the cache, installed the ROM and GAPSS and restarted......and then waited......and then waited.......and then some more......and then some more......did I say I waited for the boot process to complete?!
Finally, the screen is up, and I setup the additional users and then selected the new user to login. It worked! Deleted the new user and setup a restricted user. It worked! So, only thing I can figure out from this excitement is that the old ROM had a problem which has been fixed in the new ROM....or some gremlins were out to get me and they are now gone.
Either way, thank you. I have a working device. Will play with it some more and share feedback if u like....but here are a couple to consider - the start up process is taking almost five minutes....my PC boots faster! The Oct ROM was a snap to boot up but this is on the slow train to nowhere! Not sure what happened last night but I went to bed after the update around 2:30am....turned the device on at 9am and found the battery had run down completely. Not sure why.
Seems there are some compatibility problems with online audio streaming and blue tooth speakers? I cannot get TuneIn to work with external blue tooth speakers. The stream is lost and TuneIn craters......will give it a try for a few more days. TuneIn itself works fine. But when I try to stream to an external speaker via BT, it is goodbyesville.
let me know if you want me to share feedback.....and if u bump me into the main forum, I can post it right there rather than this rookie holding space!
A bit of an update......figured a few more things in life with this ROM
The battery issue was a one-time thing. Have not seen that drainage issue again. So, good news. What I did see is some thing is not quite right in how the battery is getting charged. My completely drained battery was fully charged in less than 30 minutes.....something that takes quite a few hours normally. I can only chalk it to something not quite right with the code in the ROM regards battery charging and capacity. Backing this is the Battery Doctor app.....while it states the battery is fully charged, the ROM indicates charging is not yet complete. Not sure which one or if both of them are getting inaccurate read on the battery in this ROM. Will keep an eye on it for a bit more time but no issue with battery drainage
Same story on the wireless streaming on BT. It was a bad call. All is fine but I seemed to have lost all of my bookmarks in TuneIn. Had to set them up again but will keep an eye on them.
Now if only I can get excited about watching paint dry or the grass growing while it reboots.....sigh!
Another update.....there is still something funky with the battery charging. I thought it was a mistake and a non-issue in my update yesterday. There is an issue. My tablet went to deep freeze last night. Cannot quite figure out what the issue is.
The tablet was at 65% charge when I was ready to call it a night around 2am. To be sure that there was nothing else that would cause problems, I rebooted the tablet and set it aside. The battery charge went down to 64% after the reboot. Set it aside for the night to check on its performance. Tried to turn it on @ 9am approx and the device would not come one. No sign of life when placed on the charging stand. Not even the dead/empty battery sign. Left it there for a few hours and still now sign of life. Did a hard reset of the tablet and it came one and displayed a charge of 13%. That is after it was on the charging stand for atleast 3 - 4 hours which accounts for the little bit of charge it showed. Took all day to get full charged. Did not touch it until it was fully charged. I am going to do the same tonight i.e. reboot the tablet and set it aside. Will see what happens.
Anyone experience this with the Dec release of the ROM? I installed the Battery Monitor widget to see if I can figure out what is going on. Will share an update when I see a bit more information.

Despite other claims to the contrary, the Touchstone charger has always been funky for me. Try using the usb barrel charger.

I will have to dig for it somewhere.....not sure if I have it anymore! I think I do, but not sure where it is.
I have been using the Touchstone charger for a couple of years now without problems......so, unless, we have an extraordinary coincidence, I would not think that is the problem. But again, strange things have happened......will post an update when I have figured out more clues.

The Barrel charger comes with the Touchstone you just need a decent usb lead.

Thanks, sstar, for the tip. Fortunately, I found the original charger cable and barrel. As I suspected, the issue was not with the Touchstone. I have charged with the barrel as well as the the Touchstone. I seem to have stabilized the issues with no more surprises. No more run down tablet with no charge left, no more blue tooth streaming issues. Have not played with the camera, etc. but that is not an active need for me.
Multi-user works well, device streams well, blue tooth works well, battery charges well (with the charger as well as Touchstone). All is well in PACROM land., atleast from where I sit at!
Open items from my end is the long boot time. As I mentioned earlier, the October release was a snap to boot/reboot. Less than a minute. This version takes almost 5 minutes - one minute of a blank screen followed by over 3 minutes of insert coin. I am sure there is a reason for this change and that smart folks are working to get this improved. I did notice that the boot sequence often fails and starts over once or twice before settling down to complete the full five minutes of startup.
Now to the mystery of what could have discharged the battery completely - I have no clues here. Atlease once, I did not see it complete the full boot sequence, so perhaps, it crashed during the boot sequence and bled the battery dry. Other times, I know it was a fresh boot that had completed fully. I have installed battery widget to monitor the battery charging/discharging and have noticed an anamoly atleast once which could be simply attributed to an application/measurement error. The widget reported a battery charge during the middle of the night when all creatures big and small in this home had gone to bed.....excepting the gremlins who volunteered to plug in the tablet for a charge for a brief moment!
Thanks to all of the good folks behind the PACMAN ROM. It is a wonderful and capable ROM and is an excellent demonstration of the community putting its best foot forward for the betterment of life! Thank you all again. Kudos and keep up the good work.:good::good::good::good::good:

Probably not a ROM issue. With latest build, mine boots in 40-50 seconds. Don't know what your problem is, but sometimes it's a network issue. Turn off wifi, boot with it off, and see if the boot time improves. If not, you may need to go the complete clean and install via TP Toolbox.
Disable NavBar on HPTouchpad PACMAN Rom
Hey All,
I've installed PACMAN Rom KK RC-3 dev recently with kernel 3.4 and it works very well. Battery live is very good and everything works a bit smoother than with my old CM11.
I choosed PACMAN because there are a lot of customisations... so i liked to get rid of this navbar! Can't count how often i hit HOME instead of spaceon the virt keyboard.
i planned to enable pie on the bottom border left side.
Now i have trouble getting rid of the navbar. In the Past pacman had customisation oints for AOKP, paranoid settings now there's only PAC settings. After Googling i can't find these settings (maybe because these posts where from jan-jun and an earlier pacman version)
ROM control > navigation bar > menu location > don't show
Hybrid Properties --> Interface, under Workspace drag the slider for "Navigation Bar Size" to 0%
installed build: pac_tenderloin-userdebug4.4.4KTU84Qeng.shumash.20141201.130846 test-keys
Can someone point me to the correct settingspage or give me a hint?
Do i have to wait for a newer release?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work, you've gained a follower for this ROM
