Rom tether works just fine. Jan6 built. Did not bother to try 3rd party app as ROM tether works.

I just noticed that chrome installs and works. I installed it after installing just symlinked gapps, and it just fc'ed, but I just went and installed google now offline and symlinked gapps and it works. Can anybody else confirm this? I thought we had issues with chrome working on our phone.

Edit: I think it was a dpi issue, I just set to tblet everything and it fc'd, good thing for app specific settings in Paranoid Settings. just set the dpi to phone and the ui doesn't matter.

Have had no issues with chrome on you or g60s builds

I didn't try on Jan 6 build but on the jan13 build tether on the rom and third party apps reboot my phone. I even reflashed a few times to make sure it wasn't a bad flash. Obviously others are getting the same results.

See previous post, post #48, pic 2, lower right hand corner, there is an icon for wifi tether.

Native wifi tethering on PA Jan 13 build, when set to WPA, doesn't work and when using third party apps like wireless tether, it reboots the phone big time.

Netflix makes it reboot too. Nice work though, the tablet UI is very flashy and I just had to show everyone I talked to when I got it.

Am now using Jan13. I noticed that foursquare will reboot the phone if wifi is turned off when you go to checkin. If wifi is on, it will work correctly. (This is the same behaviour as CM9). I really like this Rom. Now headphones work am using it as my daily.

I used foursquare yesterday wifi off and it seemed to work fine for me. :thinking:

I am not getting any force close error messages. Everything looks great but i am getting slow 3g speeds.

jhonka232 · Jan 17, 2013

I was getting wakelocks mmc0, mmc1, and mmc2 and no reboot or disabling wifi/gps/etc could fix it. Only after pulling the microSD card while the phone was on, waiting a few minutes, and reinsterting it was I able to eliminate the wakelocks.

Bsydz: You may want to look into this commit whyzor made to address this issue.

https://github.com/Whyzor/WX_435_Kernel-CM7/commit/4b08cf49db4cacdb37e5a9639e61425f343f3dba

I looked at your code on github for the CM9 kernel and it did not have this change.

Cyta · Jan 18, 2013

Im not getting good 3g speeds with this rom. Is there a setting i need to change? I re-installed the sharp rom from the same location and i get good 3g speeds. I install this rom and its like i am on 1x. Pages take so long to load if they load at all. Really would like to make this my daily but i cant be without 3g. Great battery life btw!

It seems to be when I'm at work (in a TV station in the room with no windows and an antenna on above). Maybe its no GPS signal and no wifi that reboots the phone.

could be heat build up

willister · Jan 22, 2013

Did I miss something or is the combined ui gone? I did a couple of fresh flashes this morning and now I can't find combined, the only status bar modes are phone ui and tablet ui. I had it before and I'm pretty sure I used pa_triumph-1.6a-13JAN2013-024650 both times.

Edit: I'm dumb lol. I forgot that the nav bar control option was in a different area. Everything is good again!

Is it safe to remove the ParanoidOTA app via Titanium? I haven't because I realized it could be crucial but thought I'd ask. It FC's everytime I open Messenger (Facebook) or get on the net. Seems to crash when I use my keyboard. I'm not positive that's it, but it seems to happen on those occasions.

Otherwise, I've been using this since your first release in this thread and it's been great! I haven't updated yet to your second release because it seems to work very well. I still get pretty high RAM usage, but I've only had one random reboot and haven't been able to pin down why nor has it happened a second time. I honestly think it was because of the RAM basically locking it up but I love the ROM, it's fantastic!

I admit, I sometimes need my camera though and consider CM7 again but I just can't get over how much I love ICS on my Triumph and the tablet interface of this.

kth2011 · Jan 26, 2013

Please help.

I have installed this ROM but can't access to my voice mail because it does not recog my pass code. Can someone help to walk me through?

Thanks!

ParanoidOTA can be removed it will just make settings crash if you check for updates. I removed it from the second build. I believe that almost all of the random reboots we are getting are from wifi and/or gps, and kernel related, I have been working to find a solution, it is related to all ROMs not using the stock kernel base. I am also still working on the camera, I have been working on the kernel, to incorporate things from the 3.0.8 kernel in hopes of making it more compatible with ICS.

Sorry to say, but I don't think many people have faced this problem, and it is hard to tell what might be wrong. I would do a backup and flash another ROM to see if it is ROM related or not. Then if that doesn't work I would go to the virgin mobile website and check your voicemail password, or reset it, if there is an option to do so. Last resort is to call virgin and have them reset your passcode, you may want to be on Stock ROM when/if you call though.

Sorry I can't help more, those are just the things I would do if I had the problem.

connorallen · Jan 28, 2013

I don't usually comment, but this ROM is the best I have ever downloaded. Google now works very well, so far as well. Thank you and keep up the good work. What you guys do is amazing.

SemeteryRocker · Jan 29, 2013

The proximity sensor is driving me nuts. Haha. Every time I get finished talking, I take it away from my ear to hang up and as soon (no matter how long I wait) as I hit the power button to manually turn the screen on, it acts like it was just about to come on and cuts it right back off. If they don't answer or don't hang up first, then I end up leaving a voicemail for them of me trying to get my screen to come on and hit the end call button. Basically, I have to hit power, wait a second for it to go off, hit power again and then hit end.

Is there a setting I need to change or anything I can do to fix that? The screen feels a bit unresponsive at times, I'll hit an icon and it won't take, I'll have to hit it multiple times. Feels like that's probably a setting that I need to tweak in the settings panel but I couldn't find one.

Davetsu · Jan 31, 2013

Thanks for this ROM. I am using the 13JAN2013 version and really like it. I looked around to see if anyone else is seeing this problem but couldn't find anything in this thread or the CM9 ROM threads. It isn't showing a milliamp reading in two utilities that I have been using in the CM7 builds. Both Battery Monitor Widget and Cool Tool show a 0mA reading. I can see the reading in Elixir2 when the screen is on but it doesn't track a history like BMW does. Anybody else seeing this? Any recommendations for a utility that tracks battery current usage in this ROM? I'm going to try another CM9 ROM to see if they have the same issue. It's a minor issue - just making note of it.

I hope you get the camera working!

Has anyone been able to use Navigation with this rom? Every time I open the app it sits and waits. Then I have to force close from not responding. Just wondering as it's the only feature which is going to make me revert to another rom and I don't want to do that.

Thanks

It happened to me as well. What I did was wipe data/cache and re-installed the three zip files and it worked after that. Hope this help.

BSydz, thank you for everything that you've done. It's a great ROM especially the battery did not drained that fast. I think I like to see improvement on is the signal.

I don't have this issue, are you using a case? I can pull the phone away from my ear at any time during a call and the screen resumes fine. I have seen this issue when my friend got a new case that was blocking the amount of light getting to the sensor. I even tried cutting the hole a lil bigger, but it didn't help.

The unresponsiveness is getting a little annoying, I can't update the touchscreen drivers in the kernel without loosing the touchscreen altogether. There were some changes made to CM9 from CM7, and I haven't figured out how to rewrite the driver to work yet. Right now I believe we are using a prebuilt file that is causing the problem with updating the drivers.

I'm back working on this ROM, I got tangled in a CAF ICS mess, it is crazy how much stuff is kernel dependent in the build process for CAF sources. It is almost a how to guide on what is needed in the kernel, except it doesn't tell you how to add it.

I'll be posting a new release in the next few days.

Thank you for the feedback everybody.

I believe it is an issue with space and Gapps not being installed properly, check if google maps jar in system/framework is the same size as the file in the Gapps zip, if not replace it. That fixed it for me, I have only seen it happen twice, and through a ton of testing have found that different files at different time don't get flashed correctly, there seems to be no consistency as to which files do or don't. I am gonna try to build a Triumph specific Gapps that calls our partitions by name instead of using busybox to install, in hopes of better flashing consistency.
