[ROM][ZTE Skate] Paranoid Android - CM9 - Tablet UI (15/12/2012)

[Guest jaumesala]

Really thank you C3C0 your job is amazing

[Guest LPK_CZ]

C3C0 thanks for your work - hat down. Unfortunately, after a weekend update also observe strong battery discharge.

[Guest C3C0]

Could be some application that's preventing the device from sleeping.

Try using better battery stats. It will help you to track down the cause of the drain.

And here is my current battery history.

GPS is not "working" with me (no location in Google Maps/Navigation and approximate location (50~70 km in Mappy GPS Free...), it's normal ? x)

[Guest Schwedenbitter]

This is a known problem. But I'm not sure if it is really a problem with the ROM. Meanwhile I don't think so.

...

Another problem is the GPS. It worked just fine with the ROM from03OCT2012. The later ROMs need 5 minutes and more to get a stable GPS signal, which makes it impossible to navigate in time. As it worked I'm asking myself what happend with the GPS?

...

I helped myself with a fresh install of the ROM and the gapps. So make a backup an try if it works this way for you.

I have this problem every time a make a ROM update, because I don't like a fresh install, losing all my settings. Even make sure that there is a GPS source selected within the system settings.

In my opinion some GPS apps don't get current AGPS-Data. In this case I use the app "GPS Status".

[Guest mhstrijbos]

Thanks for all your efforts. Really a nice rom!

Cool !! Any updates on fix of messaging app. When i type name in contact it gets written in opp order.......for eg. jack gets entered as kcaj...... and you have to exit compose sms and try again.......

[Guest C3C0]

Well that's strange. I didn't touch messaging app myself - it comes unmodified from CM. So I have no clues what's going on there.

Any special steps how to reproduce??

[Guest Schwedenbitter]

@ C3C0

I append new or much better translations for the german language. For me it made a big difference between just reading and translating the text an to see it on a real running system. That's why I made some changes for a better understanding.

Sorry to make you do extra work. I don't need to be named in the changelog again; just merge it with your next good ROM.

Thanks a lot!

C3c0, forgive my boldness, but I corrected the spelling mistakes that contained the file .... their hard work deserves a proper translation ...Please do not be offended my Spanish colleagues!, Not my intention.

thanks!

[Guest C3C0]

Ok. Thank you, guys.

I will take care of it as soon as I manage to find time for it. Too busy with android development at work, again.

Messaging --> New Message -->Type contact name in 'To' field.

It starts typing from left to right instead of right to left..........

[Guest C3C0]

Works OK here, just like any other text box...

[Guest conicio]

Am I the only person missing cyanogenmod settings on this update?

Also the ucam pro apk is not working: properly as it shows a fixed image...

Thanks

[Guest jtharmor]

removed messaging from task killer working fine now :)

[Guest sc3ne]

someone tried this on this room?

Its a easy "installer" for google now, on ICS.

[Guest Redstarr1]

Been a while since I flashed a rom on my loyal Skate (that's being used by my mom :P). PA has become the perfect rom for even technically challenged people (like my mom), big thanks again for that C3C0 :).

removed messaging from task killer working fine now :)

That's why I haven't used a task killer ever since I'm on ICS and JB, it'll just conflict with the built in task killer or give other errors.

[Guest WiiSky70]

Ok tested the latest Paranoid and i don't like the lag to open the apptray , the Touch Screen response could be improved

in the next build .

The rest , everything works OK .

[Guest utternoob]

Lag could be because there is a media scanner going on at first launch. It should be better after a reboot

[Guest C3C0]

Also minimum cpu frequency is set to 122mhz by default and potentially it may cause slowdowns. So I suggest increasing it to 200mhz. Anyway, trebuchet itself is not as fast as e.g. Nova launcher.

I've actually found trebuchet to be smoother than nova for some reason.

[Guest C3C0]

Well, might be but only in case "Cube" or "Card deck" transition effects are enabled.

Since Nova 1.3.1 the devs changed something regarding those animations and they started to be laggy compared to 1.3.0 version.

I also wrote a feedback on Play Store but nobody seem to care about it. Looks like there's no problem with devices with better hardware :)

I have turned off transition animations so I am using the basic one which is nice and butter smooth.

Hm, I'll definitely give it another go then, thank you.

Small update containing Settings.apk and ParanoidBackup.apk with updated German and Spanish translations can be found in the second post.
