Paranoid OTA App Not Showing Up - Paranoid Android Q&A

Hey everyone, this might be a total noob question, but I'm relatively new to the whole custom rom thing, so bear with me.
I've been recently messing around with many roms just to see what I've liked and disliked. So far my favorite has been Paranoid Android. Today I flashed the beta of the 4.4.x release and have been very pleased with it. The only issue is that the OTA update apk doesn't seem to be anywhere. I've re-flashed the rom, but that hasn't helped. Any advice?

I'm not sure if non-nexus device maintainers build with PA OTA by default...they can include it but they would have to make some changes and upload their files to Goo.im
You'd have to contact your maintainer to see if it's included or not.

Ah that makes a lot of sense. The ROM turned out to be pretty unstable all around (at least for me) so I'm now running a CM 11 nightly. Once a stable release is made for PA, I'll flash that and if the app isn't included, I'll ask. Thank you for your time and help.

The app won't do any good unless the maintainer puts their builds on goo and modifies the ota app to point to it. The standard ota app only works for the devices the team has listed on their site

I extracted the latest ParanoidOTA.apk from PA 4 beta 3. Just install it like any other apk and grant it SU permissions. Take it.

There is no point in this unless your device is hosted on the official servers or the app is modified to look at some other server which hosts your device builds.
The only thing installing this would provide is updates for GApps

[ROM][AOSP][CDMA] gorilla_toro-AOSP-v1 4.0.3 UPDATE 1/2/11

JUST ANOTHER AOSP BUILD!
This is an AOSP Build of 4.0.3 I have made basically no changes as of right now. I have fixed tethering and market restore. I plan to add some useful modifications in the future.
Gapps-403_signed.zip
md5sum cf82c67056c31101cfed0f936cac29c1

Full wipe if coming from any other ROM. Especially if they have made framework changes.
Use my gapps if you want to make sure market restore works. These are the same as the latest that are floating around I just included google backup transport apk in mine.
Google Wallet - download the unmodified apk. Install as usual after full wipe. Seems to work, I haven't used it recently though.
Kernel - Stock for now.
Also I can't check any of the NFC stuff because I don't know anyone else with an NFC enabled phone.
Big thanks to everyone as usual, CM Team, RootzWiki, RootzBoat, Birdman, Pete of Bugless Beast fame, I looked at all of their vendor make files to figure out how to set those up.
Source Code: Google AOSP 4.0.3 Master Branch - my changes will uploaded tonight when I get off work to my github.
Post any issues that you notice. I don't expect many though since it is currently a pure AOSP build.
MD5 Sums are correct now.
Facebook Sync fixed, added reboot recovery menu.
Google wallet works. Do a fresh install of Google Wallet after wiping.
I am working on the camera panorama mode.
Reserved one more time
Post on Rootzwiki?
I shall later today. I want to get my source uploaded to my github. Otherwise I will get hear a lot of whining..as in source, source, source..... Just here for now. Upload there tonight or in the morning.
Thanks for this. I've been looking for a mostly-stock 4.0.3 ROM.
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thank you!
My only reservation is that I really don't want to wipe my device as I've only recently got everything sorted the way I wanted it on my phone. Is there a quick and dirty way to unlock the tethering capabilities with ADB or Root Explorer? Or is that part of the framework that would have to be properly flashed with the installation of a new ROM like this one?
It is part of the Frameworks. It is built into the system. There is no quick and dirty way. You could do a titanium back up and restore everything after the flash. The changes are minimal and should not affect anything from another build. I suppose there could be problems if you restore from 4.02 to 4.03 but you can always Nandroid and try it if you like.
Going to post an update today. It will have working FB sync and a file manager built in from CM otherwise no changes.
do i install this with CWM? can someone tell me how to install this?
I'll be checking this one out soon, been waiting for an all stock 4.0.3
A couple quick questions:
Is it rooted?
Does it have busybox?
Is it deodexed?
On a side note, the md5sums you have listed, are the same for both files

I sure do. Tried to fix permissions to see if that would help to no avail.
Can you rent and watch movies from the market? Each rom I try, it seems either tethering is unlocked, or you can rent and watch movies. I would love a rom where I can do both.
I am now working on Panorama mode. Just found that it force closes, because I never use it. The current release has the Facebook fix, thanks to team kang, also I added in a reboot recovery menu. Otherwise it is stock with working tethering.
I will let you know when I see why panaorma isn't working.
Thanks. I don't use Panorama much, but it's nice to have the feature available.
I will post an update to fix the camera it is simply due to a couple of missing libs that I didn't add to the extract.sh script. I will also fix it and post the updated rom tonight. I am not sure about movies from the market. I think that has something to do with rooted devices and googles agreements with the copyright holders. Probably due to piracy concerns.
Let me know if you notice any other bugs. There really shouldn't be many since it is basically a pure AOSP build.

While you're fixing the panoramic camera, would you be able (and willing) to add back the original live wallpapers and ringtones? Or if not in the build itself, perhaps a separate flashable zip file that would add them back? I tried (and failed) to modify your ROM with these original files added back in and, of course, I only got a bootloop.
If you need the files, I can adb pull them for you and zip them up easily.
Thanks again for your awesome ROM.

[Q] Rom Recommendations

Hey,
I had a horrible bootloop-infection on my phone today for no reason; maybe its the sign to replace the Rom; i had a milestone 5 from AOKP [ around june WTF??!?) installed and was enjoying it till this day;
I was waiting for the last 4.2 Rom update from AOKP but since no update for the last month i decided to get something new and fresh instead, so thought to come back here and ask you guys thos flash junkies or just people who realy enjoy their current ROM;
I wasnt here for 6 months due to studying in the university so most of the names are new to me in the Development section that's why i realy need the help to choose;
I dont need much only good battery life; option to remove the notification bar and to have the navigation bar transparent or invisible;
Currently sitting with 4.0.2 clean recovery Rom that i made on the start of February o0 build waiting for responses;
Thank you;
Well, I am not using any of these custom ROMs so I am always supporting the idea of going over the main thread of the most popular ROMs in the development section then choosing whatever seems reasonable to you. Try it, then if any complaints then go for another.
If you really want a 4.2 AOKP ROM, then check this
I hope you have a break from the university so you can play with these custom ROMs
Thank you ahmadallica;
I'm studying software engineering so my free time is for sleep only currently thats why i ask for guidance due to the fact i dont have much time to test each Rom;
The Rom you gave looks realy nice from the outside but sounds more of a huge nightly build instead of a stable one, with so many stuff missing and probably he just uses the AOKP frame without adding/updating/changing any stuff moreover the lack of changlog and an overall [work/not work] stuff that the rest of the Rom developers show suggesting its just an amateur one; i really appreciate this dude's hard work but i need something stable for half a year and not to be one of this Rom testers;
Highly recommend paranoid android, been through leads of custom ROMs and I've stuck with this the longest ... give it a go, excellent team and excellent ROM

Paranoidandroid is definitely the way to go. The new version is still in beta but almost completely stable in my opinion. Themes are hit or miss at this stage of the ROM but yes, you can adjust the colors for the navbar, statusbar, navigation icons and statusbar icons within each app. It can be found in settings/paranoidpreferences/apps.
I've been using this rom since v1.98, it's now at 2.99 BetaNINE and I have not looked at anything else.
*Sidenote, PA used to be CM based up until version 2.54, starting with 2.99 Beta1 it is now AOSP based for a smoother and faster experience with better battery life. This is why some features are not yet added back and other things are not fully perfected (i.e. themes).
The problem with themes is that with every new Beta of PA comes some new code and the themers cannot always keep up with every new release so a lot of themes end up causing issues. I would just customize as I recommended above for now and once AOSPA 3.0 is released PA will be out of beta and easier to find compatible themes.
Yes you can adjust the colour of the status bar and nav bar for each app individually from with the hybrid engine within the rom... Most play store themes support it too... anything else just let me know

Thank you dankblaze for all that info;
I realy dont need that much of customization just that all bars/system/screens be with the same color and to be able to adjust that 1 color myself;
Is that possible in the new 2.99 or should i get the 2.54?

Personally, I like TWRP so check this on how to install it easily. Take note that if you have CWM nandroid backups then they will NOT be compatible with TWRP because it has its own nandroid backups.
As for kernel, just try them till you find a suitable one
Thx bro, i might give it a try tho is there something wrong staying with CWM ? i dont care much for the backups im gonna format it anyway. but i read inside you say it not for Gnex and thats its only for the Nexus 4? is that true?

No no. That was for the other member in that thread who was mentioning a Nexus 4 version. TWRP works on both of them. Basically just download the Goo Manager app then it will install the correct version automatically just follow the steps to save some time for your software engineering studies
I will copy the steps below so you don't have to worry about that link in my previous post.
1- Run GooManager app
2- Click on the upper right 3 dots for settings
3- Click "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
4- Confirm Recovery Install --> Yes
5- Confirm download, reboot, and install --> Yes
6- A download process will start then it will be installed
7- (Optional) Reboot into recovery to ensure that TWRP is successfully installed and working.
And no there is nothing wrong with CWM, I just personally like TWRP
If you are staying with CWM, then just update it to the latest version before installing any 4.2 ROM. I think installing/flashing the latest CWM recovery can be done easily using the "ROM Manager" application from the Play Store
Jb sorcery latest is great and has every tweak you can think of, very stable and they have inverted gaapps!!!

I recommend using TWRP. There were some problems with multiple media folders being created when flashing with CWM. I know latest TWRP did not have this problem. Don't know if latest CWM still does this or not.

CM Version Updates

Hello everyone I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.I would like to know who handles the updates for the CM version of the phone. Is it Oppo or the CM team? Will there be OTA updates or do we have to manually download and install?
Thanks in advance.

CM will handle the CM version. Oppo will supply updates to their software, but CM will handle the actual ROM itself.
Right now there's only one build released. I have a new build that I'm checking out now, but it's still on 10.2. We should see CM11 very soon, and I predict that it will come with the official Google software built in, so there won't be a need to flash gapps. I might be wrong about that, but I think that's how it will work.
I'll post the link for the update very soon in the correct section.

Software should be coming out tomorrow, can't wait.
Cyanogenmod does have their new CM Installer software for Windows and Android. If you're not familiar with fastboot, installing recoveries, and all that....it may be the easier way to go....in fact, I'm curious to try it myself.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/oppo-n1-cyanogenmod,25495.html
I am more interested to see how this will work not only for the N1 but for future CM phones.
Imo if they want to go official they should provide the stable versions OTA to begin with.

I'm fairly certain that CM11 won't have included gapps until an official "stable" release occurs.
Only the released version of 10.2 has been approved by Google.

I'm talking about the official build of CM11. Steve Kondik has informed me that the build is almost ready to roll. They're just waiting on a few last details... Which I assume is the inclusion of gapps.

All People Update CM. there is the cm-11-20140724-NIGHTLY
First update to the latest nightly in CM page, after that you can update via OTA in your phone, there is Daily updates!!
O-Click, Works, meaby a second lag (while focusing?)
O-Touch Works, not as the touchpad of your lap but works, And for some reason changing the VM to ART works better for me.
3G works
Battery last very good, and its suposed to las more in stand-by if you use ART instead of Dalvik
ART works well by the way.

Out of curiosity, I thought that Cyanogen and Omni were separate since CM went commercial..? I thought that some of the CM devs (like Chainfire, XplodedWild, and Dees_Troy) were upset with that and decided to start their own ROM (hence OmniRom)...
Regardless, I'm very excited to see OmniRom has its own page now in our Android Development. It will make it much easier to see how each nightly performs and if there are any bugs that need to be reported.
Additionally, there's a lot of info/support/feature requests/etc here.
Thanks slick_rick!!

On Omni's page they talk about mulitwindow being up to the individual dev who brings it to each device. Is it possible to get that added in the future, or is that going to be up to Omni?
Thanks for the info and thanks for your hard work!!
Thanks for all your hard work and not given up on us like people's. Just downloaded and look forward to trying it out. On a side note I've been spending all my free time in the XDA University forums trying to teach myself how to compile and build. I've got Ubuntu and all the tools but having a 14 month old son n being a single dad in the evenings haven't given me much free time to practice and read.
So i can appreciate all the time and effort you put in to doing this all.
Thank you slick-rick for this great ROM. For me, everything is running flawlessly so far but I have a question. I used Phil's Touch to install the ROM originally and as I mentioned it's running great. This morning I checked for an update and there is a new nightly available. When I went through the process to install the nightly it said that it was only compatible with TWRP. Is this correct, or is it OK to continue with the installation even though I have Phil's Touch? Thank you again for all your work.

Just did a complete re-install of the omnirom zip file....seems to be back to normal. Of course, now I have to get all my apps back on and placed the way I like 'em....oh well.

Check your wakelocks...I saw it and made it go away by changing location to "Device only".

Tried this for two days - one mostly on WiFi and one out and about. First day on WiFi I got waaaaaaay better battery, but the second day I got not so good results with Google maps - it took a while to "find my location"....also with location set to 'Device Only', I got high battery use from the weather channel app I have installed, and Dashclock widget can't find my geo location and report.... I think I'll take the slightly higher battery drain with a fully functioning GPS setting.
Thanks for the tip though - it could be super handy for someone mostly on WiFi.

If you're not traveling, just set DashClock's location manually. Can't vouch for Weather Channel's app, but Weatherbug Elite plays fine with it and doesn't care.
The location pinging with Google Now is insane...and there's no way I know to stop the thousands of location wakelocks short of changing the location preference. Not even changing the app permissions for the location services does any good. And that isn't just an OmniROM issue, but for ever 4.4 ROM I know of.
