Hello, I have been a member for a while, but mostly read, do not post on this site so I cant post in the development section yet. I have an EVO3d I am trying new JB Roms on to find a new cool rom , but every one I find I am having an issue here and there. I recently updated my Kernel to a different kernel, and that fixed some of the issues.
I am trying Paranoid Andriod JB and got everything to work, but receiving SMS messages. I cant find the setting for changing the Proxy like suggested in one post I read. Could someone point me in the right direction? Sorry if this is posted, I searched but was unable to find it for the Sprint Evo 3d. I found something for Cricket, Called APN manager. Would the settings be the same except for the mycricket inputs be sprint instead?
Any one know any other ROMs to try that are cool and customizable for JB?
Thanks for all you developers do, Love ALL of the work!
Chris
Hello, first and foremost I know where you are coming from. I've been playing around with jb ROMs for weeks now. You are using paranoid jb correct? The problem you are having is the developer ported this ROM over from another device meant for another carrier and thus the APN settings are not coded for sprint correctly. Generally, ROMs built from source typically have MMS and texting working specifically for that device. While no ROM is best and due to moderator preference we cannot have opinion threads on which is best. However I can point your to a few ROMs that have those things working. You can try gangnam style, king kang, unofficial jb aokp. Hope this helps.
First of many, many thanks to all the devs at DRH for their efforts in porting Androids latest and greatest to our grab. You guys have done an amazing job. In particular, installing this ROM was a breeze (once I found the right zip).
I need your help getting GPS navigation to work. I have a GPS Bluetooth dongle which is paired but does not seem to communicate th. coordinates to the nav app. For verification I used 'GPS Test' but even though it says that GPS is on no coordinates are shown. This was a problem with a previous ROM I tried based on 4.1 which didn't communicate with my dongle either. A few months back I was on HC and
installed a file called bluetoothprovider.apk which made it all work but I can't use it here. I only mention it to point out that the problem is not due to a faulty dongle.
I hope someone knows anything about this and is able to help. I'd certainly would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
I just found that there is a build 2 available. I'm gonna try that one.
Didn't work either... (insert expletives here)
Talk to herbert1. See if his BlueGPS4Droid works with your BT GPS.
Thanks for the suggestion but before I do I found that I need to enable 'mock locations' in the developer's option but that option is missing from the settings menu. How come it's not there?

Good news: having found the developers options menu I was able to check 'Mock Locations'. With the 'Bluetooth GPS' app I finally saw location data on my tab. Now I can take on the road with me as a trusted navigation companion. All is well that ends well!
One more post and I can finally participate in the dev forums .....

Q&A FAQ

FAQ
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See THE Developer's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520978
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest

Q&A
kuzibri said:
"Hi dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM, etc, etc
Hope to have given you enough information,
kindest regards, Kuzibri

My Bug List
I am posting my bug list in order to help with the ongoing development of PAC ROM 4.3.1 for the HTC Amaze 4G. :fingers-crossed:
I am having issues with WIFI, as it will not recognize my home network. I must mention that the network is hidden, and I must add it manually to the phone. In addition, while using mobile data, I am unable to attain 4G, as 3G is as far as I can get. Also, USB Debug mode is laggy, and battery drains at a ridiculous speed. I have placed my specs below.

Replace build.prop from this system.zip attached to pac_ruby_4.3.Build-1_20131211-204642.zip > system
reboot into recovery, wipe cache data/factory reset(or format all partitions except sd card in 4ext), flash the ROM again and gapps, wipe cache again, reboot your phone
this should fix the data acquisition(it did for evervolv 4.3 ruby), I tested myself for EDGE, can't test for 3G or 4G not available in my area
I removed
Code:
ro.telephony.ril_class=HTCQualcommRIL
ro.telephony.ril.v3=skipbrokendatacall
and added
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=0
DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1
according to evervolv 4.3 ruby
http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/9374/1//COMMIT_MSG
http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/9374/1/system.prop
this wouldn't be possible without evervolv team and jeepers007 all credit goes to him fixed in latest build thanks to jose, no need to replace anymore
Also settings > Wifi > menu button > Advanced > unchecking all options here(network notification, scanning always available, avoid poor connections, Wifi optimization) should fix Wifi connecting to your home network.
USB debugging has been laggy for me too and battery drains in debugging mode because it's using more power than what it gets... try to refrain charging with usb, use original charger should fix the battery drain if your getting any...

Thanks for the information. I will give it a try.
some info
i have bluetooth a2dp working properly with my computer (win7) using the following program http://www.filedropper.com/btw6209700
and the "car music connector" app from play store.
i know its a common problem for us to use full features and test bluetooth connection with our computers.
i found the link above and it gave my computer full bluetooth capabilities even with my generic USB BT dongle
A couple bugs to report here too
Big thanks for this ROM. I just installed yesterday after getting my Amaze back as my daily phone, so not fully tested, but also pretty much out of the box settings.
Having a couple odd glitches...my stats are below.
T-Mobile US
Unlocked Bootloader
Recovery: 4EXT
ROM: pac_ruby_4.3.1 JLS36I
SuperSU
GAPPS: pa_gapps-full-4.3-20131102-signed
S-ON
Battery drain is pretty rough, but I'll give it a few days to even out & get my settings in place to minimize.
About half the time I turn phone on & unlock it to the home screen, all my icons are gone....If I go to apptray and then back to home screen they redraw. ... Any idea how/why? THIS is more and more annoying as I use.
My big issue at the moment is that the email app won't open emails...they're they, but when I try to pick one to read it, 100% of the time it crashes. I've tried the force stop / clear cache, etc. to no avail. THOUGHTS? SHould I try booting into recovery, wipe cache & reinstall GAPPS?
EDIT: This has fixed itself with me playing with some settings!
One other odd "bug" I can't seem to fix is the weather app on the homescreen won't display in F ... always in Celcius. Luckily I can do the math pretty quick in head, so not a huge issue, just an annoyance.
I've not messed with tethering or bluetooth yet.
Don't seem to have any data delays & don't have any problems with WiFi either.
Looks good all around. If I can fix the email app issue, I could live with the odd glitch with homescreen icons.
@tbonezx11
1. Battery drain is pretty much normal, you've just installed the ROM, it will take few days to settle up.
2. This is an issue with Trebuchet launcher, I'm trying to find a solution myself, only workaround at the moment is to use another launcher.
3. I have no crashes with Gmail or Y! Mail app, EDIT; didn't see you got it fixed.
4. This is not a bug, Drag and Remove the clock and weather widget. Go to menu > widgets search for cLock and drag it back to home screen, cLock settings will open up select Weather panel and uncheck use Metric and touch right sign up 2x Done, now it will show up as Fahrenheit. Hope you enjoy the ROM thanks to Jose.

Hi friends
How do enable USB OTG this rom?
Sent by htc amaze _4G using Tapatalk
ROM : PACman 4.3.1
recovery : 4EXT
Amaze doesn't support OTG cable at all ... I've tried almost all romS!
the only issue is the bad battery drain, even after charging the phone with the plug charger it eats up battery like crazy. any other solutions to this?

In 2012, OTG was not working using OTG USB Helper [root] app from play store:

OTG USB Helper [root]:

Kernels are different now, so it "might" work. One can try it.
It may not work ...

That is a clever and relevant question. Ask it at google.com.
just bought the htc amaze 4g used off of ebay. took me a while to understand why standard troubleshooting wasn't applicable to my phone before i realized it came preloaded with this custom rom. now that i get it, i'm really liking the usability and interface, but i am noticing a few things that may or may not be caused by it:
1. terrible battery life. i've seen this mentioned a lot on here - got the battery doctor app which seems to help a lot, and i hear this tends to be a problem for the amaze no matter which operating system is running.
2. the camera/video shutter buttons on the side do not function at all. they're supposed to launch the camera and take the picture, but they do nothing. bummed about this because they were part of what i liked about the phone.
3. can't connect to the mobile hotspot. have to troubleshoot this more extensively, though.
4. poor reception, not getting 4g speeds. they're part of my plan, are offered in my area, and are picked up by other phones in the same location and on the same network. t-mobile couldn't figure out why i wasn't getting them, so not sure if this is the fault of the phone?
otherwise pretty happy with it, so far! hopefully if any of these bugs are the fault of the rom, they can be fixed in the near future.

At this point in time none of the after-market ROMs newer than those based on the last HTC ICS builds are fully functional. All have some type of issues whether they be camera, WiFi tethering, or bluetooth related. Unfortunately, this severely limits your choices if you desire to utilize all of your handset's functions.
If this is what you're looking for, then check out the various ROMs which are based on the stock ICS w/ sense. There are several and all are reliable. Check out the Dev threads and the info in the Amaze Wiki page for more details. Good luck and welcome to the forums.
