Installed 4.2.2 - Disappearing Keyboard - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The AOKP build works great except for the constant disappearing keyboard that is about to make me kick puppies. I saw the note to install the wingray google apps to avoid the disappearing keyboard that is synonymous with the recommend gapps to use, but my dumb ass forgot and installed the recommenced apps and I surely do have the constant disappearing keyboard issue. I have flashed the "gapps-jb-20130129-P75xx" zip but still have the issue. Do I have to wipe everything and start over? Does flashing the new gapps zip not overwrite the "gapps-4.2.2-jb-3.4.2013-signed" I originally installed? It seems not to, but wanted confirmation before wiping everything again.

You should wipe everything and start over. IMHO.

Full wipe and used the "gapps-jb-20130129-P75xx". Disappearing keyboard will no longer boil my blood.
For reference, never use the "gapps-4.2.2-jb-3.4.2013-signed".

Glad I stumbled onto this thread. Exactly the problem, keyboard, (well one of them anyway) I am having.

Well for me I can't find anything to fix the disappearing keyboard issue. I tried using the suggestions above. No help. After finding more and more posts in the same subject on different boards it seemed only the Wingray gapps is the one that works properly. Just tried that one and it doesn't seem to fix the issue either. Tried several of the newer nightly ROMs too.
One suggestion was to download the Go keyboard. That didn't help either.
Dang how hard can this be? I have flashed and wiped cache so many times lately. lol

The problem why is exactly explained in nakedninja's 4.2.2 thread, you should read before you install anything

Unfortunately that thread content has not helped in my case. I found that thread early on and have tried to follow the directions. So either I'm missing something or not doing something correctly it appears.
Someone in another forum suggested I try the free Jellibean keyboard.

I had this issue too with AOKP 4.2.2. I have not reflashed another new gapps yet, as I found re-installing a third-party keyboard which I liked from previous use solved the problem.

Well whatever I did I finally fixed it. I ended up simply formatting the internal SD card. Poof, everything gone. Had to restore from backup default ROM. Once the stock firmware was up and running I followed the procedures again. Wiped, cleared cache multiple times and when it was all done installing there is no more keyboard issue as of now.
I loaded the 4/08/2013 nightly ROM and Wingray gapps(which I've already tried multiple times). So all is well in Tablet land again.

[Q] the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly

Gtab- Stock 3358.
Previously I had Stock 3358 and rothnics enhancement pack. I installed an app from the market. As soon as I started the app the gtab screen went blank. Then the TapnTap logo as if it was rebooting then within 2 sec I was back at the home screen. If it rebooted it was a heck of a fast reboot.
then I started getting the error. Everything except stock email and settings work. But the error message pops up every few seconds. I can't go to settings and wipe. So I attempted to install stock 3358. it went fine but problem persist. Still can;t go to settings to check version or do a afactory reset.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I had same problem and after debating the right courses to take, I nvflash'ed the device and started over again.
Still would like to understand that caused that error ?
This usually occurs as the result of contacts in your contact folder with blanks in the name fields. Delete any entries with blanks and you should be good to go.
PS. You will get faster resolution if you search before posting as this has been asked and answered several times in past week.
I have same problem...."The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I went into my google account, deleted or put names in contacts that didnt have names, rebooted and still having problem. I tried going into the data/data file, but there was no data file to delete as indicated on other threads. There is not an easy to find thread for this problem. Please help or at least direct me.
Thanks!!!
I never had any contacts saved. Regardless I cannot even open the contacts folder to add/delete anything.
I am having problems with, email, contacts, settings. as soon as I attempt to open any of the above it gives the FC message and takes it back to home.
On the other hand I called Gtab support. As soon as I told the probelm the lady asked me if I could go to settings. Once I told her no I cannot she said you have to send the unit back for repair. She said that she helped another individual yesterday with exact same issue.
On aside note I was able to delete most of my apps using ES file explorer.
@Bekit @rothnic or other senior members is there any solution beside nvflash. I am a newbie.
thanks.
I had the same problem in February and fixed it by searching this forum and finding pieces to put together a solution. The rest of this message is what I posted back on 2/24/11. I think the important part is to repartition your SD card and clear all user data. I have had no problems since I did this fix.
Good luck.
I have had my GTablet since early December and have been running the Stock Enhancement since early January. I have had no problems except for a very occasional unexpected stop. It was never a real problem.
Yesterday I started getting the android.process.acore error literally anytime I tried to use any application. To my knowledge, I had not installed anything recently that would account for this.
The good news is that I followed multiple threads here and came up with what seemed to be a reasonable solution.
I installed Clockwork and reset the partition to 2048/0 as suggested by several posts. I also cleared everything that I could clear using their menu.
Then I installed NVFlash which I believe put me back to the plain vanilla factory OS. (I also think this wiped out Clockwork Mod but I'm not positive.)
I got the "update available" message and did the OTA update of the OS.
Then I installed the TnT Stock Enhancement update and applied the Market Fix.
Everything seems back to normal now.
I want to thank all of the forum members who posted the various instructions that allowed me to piece together this solution.
I realize that not everyone has the same issues when problems occur so there isn't one single fix that is right for everyone. I didn't really understand that until I had this problem. I feel lucky that I've had relatively no problems.
I have to admit that I'm looking carefully at the Motorola Xoom because I suspect it has a much more stable hardware/software infrastructure but I would rethink that if the Viewsonic folks would be more forthcoming about their plans to support upgrades for the GTab. I can live without 3G if I have stability.
Thanks again to all of you experts out there in xda-developers forumland.
Stuck SD card
I am having the same problem and tried to do the restore from the SD card and now the card is in the slot and I cant access the settings to eject it. to run the clockwork mod is there any way to force it to boot the clockwork mod?
For me, Clockworkmod "wipe data/factory reset" eliminated the pesky force close message about android.process.acore that several of us seem to have. NVflashing & Contacts data field corrections did not work for me. The problems seemed to come up after downloading an app from market.
Running VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement, and happy!
got this last night/this morning as well. from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
after wiping the data, everything has appeared normal.
hope that helps.
I called CS yesterday. They help me delete most of the apps that I downloaded to see if that will fix the issue. That also helped in eliminating any personal data left behind in case I have to RMA the unit.
that makes my tablet completely stock. I don't have market any more. So can't get clockwork rom manager etc. Bigger probelm is the onscreen keyboard doesn't work either gives the error message.
I did some reading on how to NV Flash the device. Still trying to understand the process.
I have two options
1. NV flash the device and hope that everything still works.
2. I bought sears insruance. Just return the device and then be done with it.
Any help is much appreciated.
My experience level is limted to flashing stock and enhancement packs using the Power and + buttons.
You don't want to use the clockwork in Rom Manager. It doesn't work for the G Tablet.
Here are a couple other options off the top of my head...
1) cwmod for install from Micro SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
2) Try calkulin's format all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705

same thing with me. I downloaded a few apps and then I got it. Did the data wipe thing. Came back in and I am still getting the error. Not happening every 5 seconds, but still getting it.
okay, this is strange. I did the data wipe and I was still getting this error. After doing the market fix and got all my downloads available, I noticed that I am only getting this error when I hit the HOME button.
I hit the Home button and the error comes up, then the Android Market comes up. This only happens now when I hit the Home button. Error, Market comes up and I have to hit the Home button again to get home.
HELP!
only the home button
confirmed. Working on this the last 30 minutes, I am only getting this error when hitting the home button.
@ K J Rad
I downloaded caulkins format all zip. Now this may sound a silly question. Do I flash it like changing its name to update.zip and include the recovery file?
2nd question is if I am able to flash it successfully can I install the stock rom?

Just wanted to say this single step worked for me as well.
Ok. Finally got rid of the problem.
First I attemted NVFlash. After some intial strugle setting up the drivers etc on windows got it to work. Everything worked but still had the exact same process.
B/w I noticed superuser still there. I thought NV Flash will bring it to out of box. Used Bekits image.
After some more reading took the plunge and did CWM internal. Dide wipe data. Rebooted and got it working again.
Again pardon my ignorance but do I have to manually update to 3358. And if I do it go stock would it get rid of CWM. How do i get it off the machine?
I would like to prepare for the OTA.
Please advise.
B/w it was fun going through the process.

Glad you got it working. Installing the stock 3588 update will replace the bootloader and removes CWM. That should leave you as close to real stock as you can get.
Oh, and welcome aboard ;-)

[Q] Market Apps Fail to Download

A HUGE thanks in advance for any help you can offer:
I have a Viesonic G-Tablet, and I've flashed a couple of different ROM's on it - TNT Lite 4.4 and VEGAn-TAB 7.0 RC1.
LOOOOONG story short:
Tried to install Ubuntu, no luck.
Downloaded ZPad to try it out, installed. Didn't like it, used ClocworkMod to recover to a previous TNT Lite 4.4 install. From there, reflashed to Vegan...
And that's when the problems started. Namely, Market no longer works properly. None of my downloads are successful. It gives a "Download error - Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
So, after trying again to go back to TNT Lite and having the same trouble, I NVFlashed back to stock, wiped EVERYTHING per the directions on XDA, in the order prescribed - did everything by-the-book, and still no luck on any ROM. TNT Lite, Vegan - both of them adamantly refuse to download anything from the market.
I've searched to my wits end not only in this thread, but others as well. I've reset the data, reset the cache, uninstalled the market update - you name it, I've tried it.
Could it be your internet connection? Do other devices on your network download from the internet fine?
Thanks for the question. I guess I should have been a little more specific: Yes, great connection. I can browse the web fine, even download from Amazon's appstore - but that's where it ends. The weirdest thing is that I have noticed that I can download Firefox from the Marketplace, but literally - that's it. Nothing else, and I've tried close to 40 different apps now. All fail to download.
I've tried clearing the cache, etc...
I was even desperate enough to pretty much do a system wipe and come up clean. I used ClockworkMod to format everything - even the SDcard. Made sure to set the partition size to 2048/0, the whole nine yards. Wiped all the data, cleared/formatted cache, so I'm at a loss.
*UPDATE 4/18/11 - On a whim, I decided to use ClockworkMod to reset my User Data, and signed my tablet in under another Google account I had. As I type this, I'm downloading all the apps that I was unable to download with my "usual" account. So maybe there's a bug on Google's side? How would I even go about fixing that?
I'm having this same problem. NVFLASH and reFLASH numerous times and still no luck can someone please help. Can't install anything from market at all. it download and as soon as it finish dl and start to install it will restarted itself and nothing happen. please help. THanks
Exact problem I'm having. I've tried five different roms, from Vegan to CM7, to older TnT's and Calkulin's, nothing will let me download and install from the market. I did yet another full NVFlash last night and repartitioned the tablet, still no luck after flashing CM7. It started off allowing me to download a few dozen apps then giving me the download error, but now the first app I try gives me that.
Did anyone else here come down from TwoTapsX or another 1.2 based rom? Seems to me the issue started right about the time I NVFlashed down from that.

I just tried this myself, sure enough I can download with another Gmail account, but not my main one.
This has to be an issue with Google...I am having the same issue also.
How the hell did I quote myself up there?
Mine is downloading again, all I did was sign in as my backup account, wipe data and dalvik cache, reflash then fix permissions. When i logged in again it worked. Don't know which step actuallly fixed it.
I just deleted the data under app management and they started working again for me.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I had the same. Uninstalling Flash player seem to have solved the issue for me
Me too
I seem to have the same problem however I do not get an error message at all, I just see the application in the notification bar preparing to download except instead of even downloading it basically just disappears. I had this problem ever since installing Vegan tab 5.1.1.
I had the same problem...drove me crazy...finally figured out that you can just log intp the market on my laptop and install everything from there....

[Q] AOKP 4.2.2 (Task650) ROM, missing lockscreen and notifications

I've recently installed AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2) Task650 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808015) and the basic install seemed to go very well. I came from stock 4.0.4 (rooted) and for the record I'm using Recovery 6.0.3.0 and I did a full wipe including format system, data, cache, dalvik etc. I installed the new gapps after the ROM, and later restored apps using Titanium.
I have a few issues I can't quite sort out though, and I'm not sure if they are JB, Nova or AOKP related so I thought I'd start a new thread.
1) Lockscreen doesn't appear. At all. When I wake the tablet up, it just comes straight back on to the previously used screen. I've checked all the standard Security settings (unlock mode set to slide or pattern, lock on power button, etc) and also the fancier AOKP ones, but whatever I do the lockscreen just does not appear. I've re-cleared cache and dalvik.
2) Notifications are not showing in the Notifications area. I can see the AOKP 'Toggles' icons/tiles for wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc; the clock; the battery level; the wi-fi SSID, etc - but no general Notifications at all (e.g. list of any updated apps, any download statuses, Poweramp mini controls, new emails/facebook messages, Samba active display, etc).
When these various notification are issued, I do see them appear briefly in the lower-right corner in a grey rectangular box which covers the clock/battery area of the status bar (so the notifications do appear to be triggering) but as soon as that brief message disappears, I can't see any of the notifications within the pop-up notifications area where they should be.
Does anyone familiar with JB, AOKP or this particular ROM have any suggestions, as I'm as a loss at the moment?
Andre
Ah, no-one with any ideas of where these issues might be coming from then?
I might have to try another full-wipe install, and if that fails just go back to stock 4.0.4 until (if ever) Samsung releases a JB update for the original 10.1 tab.

I'm not familiar with that rom, but there are a few things you can try.
1. Try posting in the development thread, it might be a known issue that has a quick fix.
2. If you really want to stick with that rom try the full wipe again. But since you already started with one I don't know if it will fix the problems.
3. If you want to stay with jb I would recommend Aopk build 6 by djmatt604. It runs smoothly and the dev is pretty active.
Hope this helps even a little.

Many thanks for the reply. I have searched and asked in the dev's thread, but I get the very clear impression that if it works on his hardware and no one else has the same problem, his opinion is that it's 100% up to me to sort it out - which is entirely his prerogative, of course: his ROM, his thread, his rules.
Thanks for the recommendation of another AOPK option (I assume you mean [ROM][P7510][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] AOKP Build 6 :: MR1 :: Mar 29 Nightly). I think I might go down that route since, like you, I'm rather dubious that another full-wipe will be any different to the first one.

Yup that's the one. I'd recommend doing a full wipe on the first install to avoid issues. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I went with [ROM][KERNEL][RECOVERY][JB4.2]Infamous AOKP 1.4 (14-Apr-13) in the end, from the same dev you suggested. I added Nova as my launcher and it all works like a charm (well, after I recovered myself from a stupid near-brick when I decided to format the user sdcard in order to clear out any remaining junk from old installs; it cleared out a lot more than I wanted!!!)

Yeah, I usually just wipe data / Factory reset when doing a full wipe and then go in manually and clean out folders that I don't need to clear space. SD maid is a good app for clearing unused space too.

Yeah, I'm normally the same but I thought I'd be nice and thorough for once and get rid of any remaining legacy ICS stuff which some JB updates shove into hidden folders when you upgrade. In hindsight, I shouldn't have bothered.
Still, at least when I finally did get the system recovered enough to install the new ROM, the free space was amazing!

I think the problem may have been with something that Titanium Backup restored from my previous setup, but I never found out what. I had to do a factory reset to clear it in the end (although not a full ROM reinstall).
As I'd already gone that far though, rather than risking re-installing apps again I actually chose another ROM anyway - Infamous (see above) - which I'm very happy with, and the devs there seem much happier to talk to you in general. Just my observation anyway, your experiences could well be quite different of course.

[Q] android.process.media error after CM 10.1

First, I apologize for the inevitable incorrect use of terminology - I'm trying my best.
After hours and hours of reading up, I finally attempted to internally install CM10.1 to my Nook Tablet 8GB v 1.4.3. I appreciate all the helpful posts on this forum, and primarily used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 to go through the steps. I hit a few snags along the way, but in the end I think I was successful.
Now I get an error message every time I boot: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." I click okay, then everything seems to work fine. I have tried some suggestions from here, including clearing caches and stopping google's automatic syncs, but nothing has fixed the problem. As far as I can tell, everything works okay otherwise.
Any ideas on how to fix this message? Could it mean that I did not successfully complete the installation process? (Are there ways to tell if the installation was not successful other than not having a brick?)
Android Version 4.2.2
CyanogenMod Version 10.1-20130421-NIGHTLY-acclaim
Happy to provide any more details that would be helpful. And many thanks in advance.

This happened to me after I dirty-flashed CM 10.1 over another CM 10-based rom. Let me see if I can remember what I did to make it go away... I think it has something to do with a file or process that Android uses to index/keep track of media files on internal and external sd cards, and deleting or wiping the cache or data on that particular process fixes things. I will do some checking around and post back here if I (re)find more specific info.
EDIT: Found it, I think... Do a force stop, clear data, and clear cache on the "Media Storage" app, then reboot and see if it goes away.

Sorry...long week.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I had also seen suggestions on the forum of similarly stopping and clearing Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, and a few others (can remember them all), but those didn't do it either.
I have now also had an error message about Themes not responding - can't remember the exact wording. It's happened 2 or 3 times, doesn't seem to have any other consequences other than requiring me to acknowledge the error.
Could I have strayed somewhere along the installation pathway and inadvertently made this a dirty install?

You need to load into recovery and do a factory reset/wipe data, clear cache, clear dalvik cache. If you dirty installed (installed over another ROM that's not in the same version) you'll have problems with the ROM. If you're using an older cm7 or cm9 I'll suggest you update to cm10+ succulent.

I tried to go back to the beginning to see what I did wrong - hoping to fix the problem but also trying to learn. I'll explain in a bit of detail...
Tried to follow the process outline here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368. I was able to access root using NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img, but was unable to get any further as it kept saying "No files found" when trying to flash rom and gapps zipped files. After trying multiple reformats, partitions, etc, I abandoned following this process. (Of note, I did make sure that debugging and allowing installation from unknown sources were active - to no avail.)
I then followed this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626. In addition to Step 6 - "Wipe data and factory reset," I also cleared cache and dalvik cache as suggested. Everything else went very smoothly. I've now been running CM 10.1 for a few hours without any error messages. I'll report back anything that pops up over the next few days.
I tried to improvise a bit and flash CWM recovery internally as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958. I was never succesful using flash_CM9-10_CWM_6.0.2.5_8-16gb_emmc.zip, though I'm not sure it's really necessary. (In trying to do this, I modified step 2.b from Digixmax's guide - rather than using the recovery image from CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip, I tried using the flashable emmc.zip noted prior. In the end, I just followed Digimax's steps without modifications.) What do you think? Is there any reason to continue trying to flash CWM internally?
Thanks a million to all.

(In trying to do this, I modified step 2.b from Digixmax's guide - rather than using the recovery image from CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip, I tried using the flashable emmc.zip noted prior. In the end, I just followed Digimax's steps without modifications.) What do you think? Is there any reason to continue trying to flash CWM internally?

As long as you have SDcard-based CWM available for recovery purpose (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31) you don't really need to flash CWM internally. But if you'd like to flash it internally you can grab a flashable CWM zip file from Succulent's repo http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery and install it using SD-cased CWM (just like you had installed the ROM/gapps zip files except there is no need for wiping cache/data & doing factory reset in this case).

[Q] Pac-Man 6.11 Unrooted

Would post in the pac-man thread, but have less than 10 posts.
Recently flashed the latest version of pac-man from pio (6/11). Did a clean flash. When i went to install titanium backup, I got an error that the device isn't rooted. Looks like there is no superuser app installed.
Is this an issue where pio accidentally failed to include superuser? Is it something i can download and sideload?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Its integrated into the ROM now, I couldn't forget it if I wanted to. This happens on occasion, you can either flash it yourself as suggested or flash the ROM again, either should get it going.

Thanks! Worked great. i flashed it myself, but I see from the main thread that I should delete the app before flashing the next update.
Didn't mean to impugn your awesome dev skills by saying "forget." was actually meant in jest, but i see that didn't come across in the OP.
Thanks again for a fantastic rom!!!

I didn't take offense to it, just stating its built in now, where it used to be an app by itself, which could be forgotten lol

Pio- I'd post into the Pac Man thread but I'm still not at 10 posts yet. I downloaded and flashed your ROM maybe 20 hours ago, and I don't have SU either. Was it updated between then and now? My time zones are off...
Also, I'm getting some app FCs, specifically Google Play Music>My Library. I did a clean install and I'm using crpalmer's kernel. I've seen people talking about this specific bug as far back as 5/8 in the CM thread, but no one's posted about it recently. Do you know if this was fixed/is it CM/is it crpalmer's kernel? Music is probably one of my most essential apps...
BTW great work this ROM is awesome

The issue you mention aren't app FC, they simply close, vanish, no FC message, you have a different issue that requires more information before I'll hazard a guess. If you read anything in the PAC thread you'll see what I want in a post saying there's an issue.

Well, this is what I came up with as far as bug reporting in your posts:
Q. I want to report an issue, can I just post it in your thread without reading or doing any basic troubleshooting, googling, reading or wiping?
A. Well you CAN, you may be ignored or flamed for it. Please read above, and please read the Bugs and Change Log lists before reporting anything. Please flash a clean download, flash a clean wipe, and don't restore stuff from TiBu, thats basic troubleshooting, check if the issue persists, if it does, then feel free to post about it.
I always read the bugs and change logs, that's one of my criteria for picking a ROM. I downloaded your PAC-Man ROM last night, put it on my SD card, along with inverted and regular Gapps. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then I flashed your ROM, then the inverted Gapps and rebooted. Decided I didn't like the inverted, booted back into recovery, wiped data, cache, dalvik again. Flashed regular, most recent Gapps. Rebooted again. Thought about it, and then decided to try crpalmer's kernel. AGAIN, wiped data, cache, and dalvik before flashing. Everything seemed fine, I began installing apps from the play store (I don't use anything to back up apps, no TiBu or anything) and went to bed. It wasn't until this morning when I was setting up my BT in the car and opened Play Music for the first time. I can play music, I can search, I can go to radio, etc. It only crashes/closes/disappears if I go to My Library. I don't have SU either which I noticed at work today, which is what lead me to post here in the first place.
That's as descriptive as I can be. I hope it helps

Very nice lol
The most recent PAC has a broken super user, flashing a super user zip will work or you can use the previous build where the integrated super user works. There was a link posted in the main PAC thread as well as here in this thread I think.
Google music library does seem to be problematic, though it may be halo related, Google music has had issues on alot of the AOSP type ROMs from streaming to vanishing to now having library issues, it seems to occur more on local files vs cloud, though.
Does this occur on the stock kernel also? I know you mentioned flashing crpalmers kernel, just wondering.

Well I know very little about Halo, but I can say that I was able to stream just fine over 4g if I played the music without going through the My Library tab (search, Listen Now, etc.). I didn't have any local files at all since it was just after a wipe.
I did another clean install of your ROM last night, flashed the Gapps from goo.im, and DID NOT flash crpalmer's kernel. Same issue

I assume you mean Play Music. All my apps are up to date, though. I'm on my lunch break now I'll try wiping the app's data and cache, see if that works, and if not I'll uninstall it, reinstall and see if there's any difference.
UPDATE: Neither of the above attempts solved it. Also Play Music > Radio causes the same kind of close. Now I can't remember if it did it before or not. I also noticed that there was a "blacklist Halo notifications" option, I tried that as well to no effect.
OK so for the developers, the apps just closing like that, was a few commits to cm10.1 source, particularly bionic and dalvik, some optimisations regarding krait CPU stuff got applied to all phone types which caused the issue,
Superuser pac-man source fixed that issue a day or 2 ago in vendor-pac and settings

Yeah this is all known, for whatever reason the changes made weren't merged like I thought they would be so the issue persisted and I just haven't had time build another one, the workaround for now is sufficient.
