If every happy user of this rom would just donate something I could invest more time in all these Android projects.



Issues

* Who knows... This build has been compiled using GCC 4.7 and includes "heavy" optimizations (O3, Linaro's strings, NEON memcpy and Linaro's graphite)



Instructions (first installation)

* Grab TWRP recovery from this thread, unzip it and put uImage_recovery in the root of the external MicroSD card.
* Put rom (pa_elf2-3.x-$DATE-$TIME.zip) and gapps (gapps-jb-$DATE-signed-ubifs.zip) files inside internal or external sdcard.
* Turn on the tablet keeping pressed VOL- and POWER untill you see the green droid.
* Flash this file that will format /system, /data and /cache partitions, and from "Wipe" menu erase "Android secure".
* If you wanna wipe internal memory content you can flash this file.
* NEVER flash this two "wiping" zips file posted above if you're using an EXT4 partitioned device, in this case just do a "Factory reset" from TWRP.
* Flash rom (pa_elf2-3.x-$DATE-$TIME.zip), gapps (gapps-jb-$DATE-signed-ubifs.zip) and, the required compatibility zip (and the eventual "MultiUser zip" if you're using a "MU" comp zip).
* Now select "Reboot system".
* Enjoy ParanoidAndroid!



Instructions (upgrades)

* Take a backup of Paranoid preferences from "Settings" -> "Hybrid properties" -> "Tools" -> "Backup preferences".
* Turn off the tablet and turn it on keeping pressed VOL- and POWER untill you see the green droid.
* Flash rom (pa_elf2-3.x-$DATE-$TIME.zip), gapps (gapps-jb-$DATE-signed-ubifs.zip) and, the required compatibility zip (and the eventual "MultiUser zip" if you're using a "MU" comp zip).
* Now select "Reboot system".
* After the upgrade restore Paranoid preferences from "Settings" -> "Hybrid properties" -> "Tools" -> "Restore preferences" and confirm the reboot question.
* Enjoy your freshly updated ParanoidAndroid!



Download links

2013-06-13

* Added fake serial number generator (if you had two devices, both connected to the PC with ADB enabled, you couldn't access to any of them because they were using the same serial number)
* Updated video playback libraries
* Updated upstream sources

FAQs

* If you don't like Nexus 7 fingerprint and wanna use SGS-II instead flash this zip. Remember that changing fingerprint may screw Play Store, if it happens you'll have to perform a "wipe data / factory reset".
* WiFi now can stay enabled with display turned off. Note that if WiFi is enabled the tablet won't enter deep sleep so if you're more interestead in battery life instead of an always on WiFi change policy (on "Advanced" WiFi settings) from "Always" to "Never".
* Internal memory is mounted at /storage/sdcard0, external sdcard is mounted at /storage/sdcard1. If you wanna swap them (and make primary your real microsd) just flash this file after flashing rom's zip (you have to do it everytime you flash a new version of the rom and it is incompatible with multi user)
* If you wanna format your internal memory (it's corrupted, filled of crap, etc.) just flash this file from CWM / TWRP.
* It's better if you don't change governor because the included "ondemand" has been customized to support "boostpulse" feature of jelly bean power hal. You can control min/max cpu frequency with display on/off editing these entries in /system/build.prop file (they're listed with their default value): "ro.sys.min_cpu_on=408000", "ro.sys.max_cpu_on=1200000", "ro.sys.min_cpu_off=96000", "ro.sys.max_cpu_off=1008000".

* Update some RIL related stuff: if your 3G dongle was working try it again and report. If it wasn't working (but worked on the stock rom) give it another try, just in case...
* Added EXT4/MultiUser for 1st/2nd batch Crystal (it looks like some 1st batch refuse to turn on WiFi, I can't help you without proper source code and some logs)

* Added a SCREEN_DIM wakelock when HDMI is plugged
* Devices running alsa (everyone but Hero and Fire) can disable alsa standby by editing "snd.card.alsa.standby=1" to "snd.card.alsa.standby=0". This will fix latest Skype (and possibly other chat apps) issues, but may lead to some "pops" when the device enter/exit suspend.

Compatibility zip

Fire with BMA G sensor (based on Feiyu JB, flash that rom before this one to fix partitions)
TM 1.2
QM 1.2

Fire with MMA G sensor (based on december stock, flash that rom before this one to fix partitions)
TM 1.1
QM 1.1

On Fire with MMA gsensor, if i use comp zip TM 1.1 does it's mean the battery problems will still there? So i have to use comp zip TM 1.2 and remove sensors.amlogic.so to fix the battery problem, just like on cm 10.1, am i right? Btw, thanks again CT.

Edit: using comp zip tm 1.2 and remove sensors.amlogic.so. Just like on cm 10.1. Solved battery bug but without light and g sensor. It's ok.

Bluetooth A2DP don't work...oh bummer :'(
Many thanx for ur work mate.

[ainolpk]

Oh Great work CT! Salute!

A little query, I have Fire which came with September build so which sensor should I have MMA or BMA????

[rdis]

There is no long-press item (shortcut in every key, what are they named?) on the keyboard and I can't find Volume key cursor control, so i replace the latinime with the one from cm 10.1. The long-press item then exist but still i can't find Volume key cursor control.

Check SN on the bottom of the back cover, if you have xxx201212xxx then you have MMA, other than that SN have BMA.

This guy claims to have fixed a2dp for the HD2.

Would it be compatible?

[highotguest]

because cm modified the AOSP keyboard, pa team right now is just tracking AOSP keyboard without any modification

It took me quite some time since PA team doesn't support MDPI devices (and I had to create the whole config from scratch) but here you'll find the first comp zips for MDPI devices (the other will follow soon but I won't be able to test them because I don't have such devices)

Aurora-II 1.0
Elf-II 1.0

[Steve8x8]

Um, what happened to the old.androidfilehost.com links? Is the fire QM 1.2 compat on mediafire identical to the one that used to be over there? *confused*

And, is the humble question allowed why "gps.enable=false" while "hw.nophone=false"?

I will test the crystal Batch 3 for you... I have been waiting for this rom, i love pa 2.99.

[Christian Troy]

steve, no it's different.

those build.prop entries are irrelevant, it's some crap from amlogic stock firmware, they don't do anything on this rom

[Christian Troy]

Testing compatibility zips:

Fire TM v1.3 (based on Feiyu 0130)
Fire QM v1.3 (based on Feiyu 0130)

Thanks for clarifying. I'll try to connect a BT GPS mouse this weekend (which worked with Flambe *after* setting gps.enable=true). Got to get back into geocaching as the weather becomes more comfortable.

You may need to install a third party app to be able to use it

[romanpih]

On Hero dont work.

For all the others, a report like this is useless. You have to explain carefully the 'symptoms' and possibly adding a logcat

BTW on the hero since it's based on stock 1219 you must flash that ROM before this and use the appropriate twrp recovery
