[PAC MAN] Dual panel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, first time user here!
Alright, so I've searched high and low for this question but can't find a decent answer.
What I want to do is to enable dual panel with PA Hybrid. Is there a way to do it? I've tried to change my DPI and change to Phablet and Tablet but I can't find a way to enable it. I've seen a lot of people using it but I can't really do anything to get it. Compared to other phones, I don't have the option to enable it under General UI. I don't really know if it has something to do with my version (using the latest) but I haven't seen anything in the changelog that they have changed it or removed it.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

When you say "using the latest"... are you on the Milestone build? That's the last stable build. The dual panel for settings and PAC settings only came with nightlies after that build. They're 4.3 builds, and not officially stable yet (alpha build). In saying that, I've been using PAC 4.3 nightlies for a week or so now as a daily driver, with nothing to cause me to go back to 4.2.2.
Although, I'm not sure you can use dual-panel settings with hybrid (happy to be corrected, I don't use the hybrid settings a whole lot). I know that running the settings app as 240dpi, 360p and standard phone settings (vs phablet/tablet) should let you use the 2 panel settings on the latest nightlies.

[Q] Spike's Pure ICS Rom Queries

Hi,
There is a package in Spike's thread for v5.0 for the battery percentage. My question is, can that be installed on v6.1?

v6 is a different base. So maybe wait for him to come out with one for v6 first. Should be any day now.

Thanks for the answer...
btw i have a little more questions...
after using v6.1... i realise that i am no longer able to take screenshots on my sgs2. the home + power button does not seem to work. is there a different way on this rom to take screenshots? or need another app?
also is there a way to remove homescreens? by default it has 5 screens, can i disable one or more of it?
last question, how do i configure to set the USB connect on default as usb storage instead of media server?
UPDATE: seems like the battery percentage for 6.1 is released: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22790151&postcount=492

I really missed the days i can take a screenshot just with home + power buttons .Now i'm using a app to take screedshots(do a search in the market then you'll find many). Hope the CM9 team intergrate Screenshots in their work.
Are you using Trebuchet launcher ? If so you'll find the homescreed settings in Trebucher settings(press menu key in homescreen and select Trebucher settings) .
The media server is annoying to me too but now i'm trying to get used to it.Maybe you can try this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375

thanks to your reply i now know about trebuchet. now that helps me to reduce those unused homescreens. but some of the options does not work such as Dock and Icons. Ill have to start googling about this anyways...
but yeah i hope spike will add the screenshot. i dont want an app for that. better to intergrate it with the rom i think.
SPIKE, if you see this, i sincerely thank you for this awesome ROM. you have done great. I am loving every bit of it. thank you!
Guys,
I was reading the development thread, and now there is a 6.1 version. Somebody said that he updated from ROM 2.3.6 to Pure ICS 6.0...
I would like to be sure if this can really be done without having to install stock ROM first or something like that. I have stock ROM 2.3.5 with root, and I would like to know whether I can go straight to flashing Pure ICS 6.1 with Odin or not.
I am asking cause I have seen many different comments on approaches people have followed, and I want to know whether I can do this first or not.
Thanks!
The trebuchet is far from complete and still under development(pretty stable for a alpha release ,though). You can have a try at Nova launcher and see if it fits you.

I suggest you flash a sammy leak ICS ROM first , it won't take you so much time.

There should not be any issues. I flashed straight to 6.1 from a stock official release of 2.3.6. worked fine for me. did not have issues. just make sure to follow the steps provided carefully.

http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9100-xxlph-android-403-firmware/2/
I just flashed Pure Special Edition straight from one of the KI or KJs, everything works ok (Great rom btw) but I noticed the colors are slightly off. Almost like overexposure?
The color looks slightly faded and runny in and is quite obvious in videos and games. Wonder what's the issue here? should I reflash?
Cheers
Check Display - Screen Mode to see what it is set as. It is in Settings. You can make or more punchy there.

Screen Mode was set to Standard, and setting it to anything else make it look worse... However, the screen did look slightly better once I turned off auto brightness and adjusted it manually. Totally forgot that ICS had a problem with this!
However, I noticed that stuff like font edges isn't as sharp as when I was running stock. I guess I'll flash stock ICS tonight to check what the problem is...
pure ics 5.0 vs 7.1 battery life.
Hello. Why is my battery life 100% better with Pure ICS v. 5.0 than 7.1? is there a way to make 7.1 as great (im my opinion) in terms of battery life as 5.0? of course 7.1 is fully functional and I would like to keep it.
Thanks.
Transparent lockscreen
Hi all,
Does anyone know if spike is planning to get rid of the samsung lockscreen?
It would be so much nicer to have the stock transparent lockscreen as on the galaxy nexus.
Hopefully it will come round with 7.3.
For those who want to install AOSP Calendar in Spike 7.2, maybe can try flash AOSP Package for Pure ICS v7.0
ICS call screen
I wanted to know if there are plans to incorporate the in call screen from ICS into this ROM? I switched from CM9 to Pure ICS and so far it's the only thing about CM9 that I prefer.
You can ignore my above post, apparently this is a future theme change. Looking forward to when it actually gets implemented.

[Q] CoolHoney-3D v6 ROM - some questions

Hi
I am enjoying running CoolHoney on my Flyer - thanks to all devs involved. It's really stable and everything works, as far as I can tell.
Three things I am apparently missing.
On the ROM development thread it says it supports cpu scaling but I can't find that in my settings anywhere. Do I need to flash a particular kernel?
Also I would like to be able to activate 270 deg rotation please, as I like to hold the tab with the headphone socket at the bottom. I think I had this option when I ran dexter's Jelly Bean ROM but CoolHoney doesn't seem to have the option. How can I enable this please?
[edited to remove q about lockscreen: answer found already on forum, sorry]
Thanks for any advice.
CPU settings are accessed in the app "Daemon Controller" (or something like that, I don't have my Flyer with me right now).
Thanks for that, yes there is a daemon app pre-installed. I was looking in the settings instead.

[Q] SlimBean 4.2.1 Beta 1 Vibrant missing menus

I apologize for having to start a whole thread for this small issue, but I couldn't find it addressed anywhere and I can't post in the Development Forum.
I recently installed Slim Bean 4.2.1 Beta 1 on my Vibrant after having CM10(stable) installed for about a day. Perhaps this was just a bad install, but there seems to be some menus missing from the Vibrant port of Slim Bean. For instance, there isn't a lock screen menu under the Interface menu. I also don't have the OTA or Performance options under ASS.
These are the only ones that I've noticed. I have not tried reflashing it because other than the absence of those menus, it's working great. I'm also not even sure it's an issue at all, it could have been intentionally omitted.
So I just wanted to point it out in case it's an error in my install or the port. If it's not, then as you were. If it's something as simple as a menu toggle, I apologize for being a n00b.
Edit: I found the Performance menu (by tapping the build number a few times) but the rest are still MIA.
Hi folks,
I have the same issue but on SGS i9000. Otherwise the ROM is doing very well.
Boom goes the hammer of realism.
The 4.2.1 based SB builds are still in BETA, this is clearly noted in the OP, even the title of the thread.
This means that it is not yet complete (hint: BETA). The dev is working to port the normal SB tweaks to the new version of Android (4.2.1).
The advanced menus and options will be showing up as the build progresses towards a final release, for now, enjoy what they are doing for you, and be patient for updates as they work hard to port their changes to the latest and greatest android OS.
Thanks for the response! I realize it's in BETA but I wanted to clarify that those particular menus are not supposed to be there.
I'm looking forward to future updates as I love this ROM!
There is also no option for USB debugging yet, am I correct?
Google "how to enable developer options in android 4.2.1", and you'll then be able to turn on usb debugging.

[ROM] MiGusta (build 130803) [MIUI]

MiGusta - MIUIv5 for the Droid DNA​
MiGusta is a port of AdyScorpiusMIUI for the M7 to the DNA, ported on to a freshly built CM with a couple kernel changes to make it boot. This is only for the Droid DNA on Verizon.
If you download this rom and flash it to your previously rooted/unlocked/s-off device, I take no responsibility if something bad happens, it's all on you now. However I'll probably feel bad and try to help...
First and foremost, special thanks to...
AdyScorpius - for porting MIUI to the M7
chad0989, crpalmer, and the CyanogenMod Team - for getting CM on the DNA
lbxmobbin_1 - for helping me out with RIL issues
What works
Data (4g, 3g, calls, texting)
Camera
WiFi
Wireless charging
Mostly everything, but I haven't tested things like NFC or bluetooth, so they may be broken (if you can test this and let me know, that'd be super)
What doesn't work
Anything that's broken in CyanogenMod (by theory)
Bugs and Solutions
4g isn't enabled at boot - dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information, scroll down to Set preferred network type and change it to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), then toggle data off and on (via Settings or the notification toggles)
Performance may not be as great as stock AOSP roms. That's because this is a port, and not entirely built from source, not to mention it's MIUI. It's been smooth for me, but this rom may not be for you if you're into intense gaming. Also, if you're going to bring up benchmark scores, don't bother posting because benchmarks aren't worth anything.
Superuser isn't enable by default - This isn't really a bug, but since I'm sure MIUI is new to a lot of people there will be issues with this. Go to the Permissions app, go to ROOT, and enable permission monitor.
Led doesn't flash unless plugged in - go into Settings > Led and change the colors to Green
Making phone calls to numbers that begin with 1 don't work as expected - remove the 1 from the beginning (this is an MIUI issue)
All sent text messages will display as "failed" after a reboot fixed in 130717
I'd like to mention that I turned the recent apps button into the menu key, mainly due to the fact that MIUI doesn't have any settings that could enable menu functionality in the hardware keys.
Questions and Answers
Q: does this work on GSM/will you release a GSM or Butterfly version?
A: it might work on GSM, I personally don't know since I'm a Verizon customer. I am not going to release a GSM/Butterfly version of this rom. I am not going to risk doing something wrong and breaking someone else's phone that I can't personally test/debug on, sorry. If someone wants to release a mod that will make it work for GSM, then by all means go nuts and I'll add it to the OP, but I cannot provide any kind of support for it.
Q: will X kernel work on this rom?
A: short answer - no, long answer - maybe, I haven't had time to go and test every single kernel on this rom. This is an AOSP-based rom, so if you're going to test a kernel make sure it's for AOSP. I personally had to do a couple of small kernel mods to make this rom boot, if you tested a kernel and it doesn't work, ask the kernel developer to contact me and I can send them the goods.
Q: how do I do X?
A: Google it. I am not going to answer any questions if you haven't put in enough time and research to look it up yourself. MIUI is an entirely different system from AOSP, and there are different ways of doing things (such as permissions/superuser). If you Googled it and came up dry, then leave a reply and I'll try to help you out.
Q: X force closed/my phone rebooted out of no where/I'm having some other issue, how do I fix it?
A: explain what went wrong, what was the procedure to causing the issue, and most importantly provide a logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat, Google it. Explaining the procedure might be enough for me to fix it, but a logcat will drastically help in me getting a fix.
Q: when is the next version coming out/when is this feature getting added/when anything?
A: no
Q: can you add X app in the next update?
A: no, I'm trying to keep MiGusta relatively slim, and unless there's a VERY good reason, I won't add it.
Q: I get an error when trying to flash, what do I do?
A: make sure that the md5sum of the file (which can be found next to the download link in the OP) matches the md5 of the file on your computer. I flash the rom personally before uploading it to make sure it's smooth sailing, so if it doesn't flash then chances are you just got a bad download. If you downloaded the rom more than once and the md5 of both are the same, but doesn't match the one I listed, then let me know because it means it was a bad upload (and my fault more than anyone's).
Q: do I need to flash gapps?
A: nope, they're included!
Q: can I use your rom as a base for my rom?
A: I'd prefer if you didn't, mainly because I spent days learning how to do all of this by hand, and I'd prefer if all my hard work wasn't kanged. If you want to try porting MIUI yourself and you've run into an issue, shoot me a PM and I'll gladly share my knowledge
Please note - I am a human, I have a life, I have a job, and once the summer is over I have school. I'm doing this as a hobby, so don't expect me to be lurking this thread all day and answering questions on demand. I can't promise this will be updated as soon as a new version of MIUI/AdyScorpiusMIUI comes out, but I can promise that I'll try my best to release updates as soon as I can, and that I'll try to answer as many questions as I can.
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS POST IN ITS ENTIRETY.
This is your only warning. If you ask something that has been addressed above, expect to be ridiculed.

Performance on the home screen is slow when moving icons and folders, but everything else seems relatively smooth. I changed the I/O scheduler to deadline in performance options which seemed to smooth things a bit. The games I've tried run without lag. I noticed the MIUI Weather widget isn't installed, and the status bar shows 'Verizon Wireless' in front of notification icons. Has anyone been successful in activating their Xiaomi account?

Was your phone plugged in when you switched to battery percentage? I noticed it doesn't show up when you're plugged in, but when you unplug your phone it works correctly.
And I didn't even realize the HTC One settings were there, I'll get rid of em' in the next release, thanks

[Q] Color Hacks Preset

Hi, I am running cm10.2 but can't find screen color adjustment settings? Coming from GNex i am quite used to my own settings so basically this is one of the main reasons for me to go the custom rom route on GS3.
I've searched and read feature list of MOST roms listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220154 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440132 but can't find what i'm looking for. If it's not yet implemented (or whatever) in cm10.2 can please someone recomend me a AOSP/AOKP based rom which has this feature?

Thanks for replying but its not there. Are you on 10.2 or 10.1?
I'm on 10.2, can't find color adjustment too
This is where mine is and my rom version.
However, I use Trickster MOD for my color adjustments, so I don't even bother with the color calibration that comes with the rom
