[HELP] Building Paranoid Android 3.90 on Grouper - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I was building my own personal PA 3.90. When I flashed the .zip, I booted up normally, until the bootlogo screen. Instead of the Shark or whatever it is in 3.90, I just got a black screen. I got no errors while building (or else I wouldn't be able to flash it) but this keeps on happening. I even rebuilt, but to no avail.
Help appreciated!

I guess such questions are worth posting in the Dev thread and are serious questions . I'm surprised this happens even with our device. There might be a possibility of you downloading the wrong branch but n7 won't use the legacy branch I think.
Are you using a prebuilt kernel ? Or compiling your own ? Seems like display is derped to me. Display drivers may be an issue.
@aaronpoweruser any help ?

You don't have the proprietary binaries. I'm doing an official 3.9 build now

Thanks. Also, @aaronpoweruser, it seems you broke the auto-rotation stuff. Was playing Asphalt 7 and wouldn't detect my turning. Do you know about this?

Ubuntu boots to black screen?

-I am using Multirom
-My internal rom is stock 4.2.1
-I also have PA 3.0 installed
- using Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (stock 4.2)
When I install Ubuntu it will go to the boot screen (where it says 'Ubuntu' with the little loading squares flashing) then it eventually just goes black and doesn't respond. Any ideas on this black screen of death? Let me know if you guys have any info, tried to google around but can't seem to find this specific problem.
Haha a nice number of views but looks like nobody knows yet huh?
I've since wiped off ubuntu and tried to install the rom several times. I've downloaded new images, re-applied my kernel, all sorts of crap but it doesn't seem to a make a difference, still the same scenario happens.
Something else I've noticed is that if I wait a while at the blank screen, eventually I hit the power button I will see "ubuntu" flash in the center real quick, then back to blank screen.
I have excat the same behavior in exact the same configuration. Yesterday flashed Multirom to a stock Android 4.2.1, with Ubuntu image nightly from 14-Feb-2013 + kexec4.2.
I see the initial Ubuntu bootscreen which turns black and that's it....
Any ideas are highly welcome.
Im not dual booting and the same thing is happening. I tried a new download from today with no luck.

Just re-installed 4.2.2 and got that back working. Tried to re-flash Ubuntu from scratch and same thing.... Fade 2 Black
Same here...
I'm also having this same problem. I've just bought my nexus, my first android device to help out with Ubuntu dev but cannot get it to load. 4.2.1 stock ROM with kexec 4.2 and multirom. It could be me doing something stupid but have reinstalled Ubuntu several times with no joy.
Still, first post here and good to meet you all. Looking forwards to getting all this moving. Exciting times

Same here. Ubuntu used to work in an earlier version (build of 12 Feb or 13 Feb), with Launcher crashes very often. Then, begging from the 14 Feb build, ubuntu just boot into black screen. Retried many times, changed MultiROM version ... just doesn't work, always end in black screen.
Hmmmm, is it just users with multiboot or can people not boot in running native? I guess I'll try again in a day or two and see if anything has changed. I'll update if I have any success or hear anything.

Nope. I am trying native install with no multiboot and I just get black screen.
I am performing manual install each time..has anyone done the Ubuntu based auto install?
Same problem here...
I get the Ubuntu animation with the red and white balls animating then the screen goes black and nothing...I have let it sit for 30 mins.
Stock rooted 4.2.2 with a37 M Kernel
Same problem as OP
I have the same problem as the OP
Nexus 7 32g wifi only
Multirom v8
Android 4.2.1
kernal_kexec_42-2
Using the 15 Feb 2013 build
Does anyone know where I could get a hold of an older build to see if that solves the problem?
Edit: Is everyone here using a recent build of ubuntu?

Same problem here... very sadly. Stays black after see logo some seconds. I will test n7-ubuntu-16gb.2012.10.26.tar.xz now...
Update: Black screen has been confirmed by the devs and its under the class of "critical", I bet it will be all sorted soon.

Sorry I miss read what he meant. We need to find the build 3 days ago (13/02/13) which isn't affected, only if someone has it by chance.
Nice, glad to see I am not alone at least. Thanks so much for all the info thus far guys.

EDIT: Probably best if we move over to this thread to discuss this issue now.
Hm ... some people has reported that the latest images is now working normally. But I am using the 30-01-13 image and it works just fine as well. I just want to know whether it makes any difference if I issue an upgrade via sudo apt-get update && suso apt-get dist-upgrate comparing to flashing the latest working image. Anyone knows about that?
I should have posted behind the MultiROM thread in the Nexus 7 Original Development forum, but I don't yet have right to post there.

Dual Booting Nexus 10?

I have not been able to find any threads for the Nexus 10, but I was wondering if it were possible to dual boot the Nexus10?
My goal is to try and install both Android and Ubuntu Touch preview on my nexus 10 tablet so I could try out Ubuntu touch without losing all of my android functionality.
Are there any resources on how to do this and has anyone ever attempted to do dual booting on the Nexus 10.

I found MultiROM for the nexus 7, which seems to work exact how I wanted, even supporting booting from otg cable. However, there was no release for Nexus 10, or planned, and there was one thread asking about its existence on the Nexus 10 but was locked by a moderator for being in the wrong sub forum.

What's the thread for it? Maybe we can get some developers to port it to Nexus 10 .

Yes it mostly has to do with kernel and recovery but rom must also be edited to work on dual boot. On my xperia play I can boot up to 4 ROMs using turbo kernel. The kernel creates slots on the SD card where the other ROMs are installed. I don't know a lot about how its done. But its very useful to have especially when you have a low ram phone so you could boot different android versions. Now if someone could get that done for nexus 10 it'd be awesome. Cosmicdan is the developer who did it for xplay

[Q] Push Notification solutions?

Okay!
Could I just get some sort of final solution, not only me, but the many others on xda that are suffering from the same problem as me. Why am I not getting notifications!? I've tried almost every kernel on here, from Franco to Air kernel and no luck! I've tried using the PNF app, no luck there! Is there just one solution!?
I restored a nandroid from when I fresh rooted my nexus. Is this a kernel issue or a ROM issue ?

This is an issue Google needs to fix in the upcoming android release. I believe someone in the android development forum section is trying to fix it so you could try to find and visit the thread if you need more info or can provide help...

It may work for you, just make sure and be careful to choose which one. I myself haven't tried any of them (keeping stock for sometime)
I've been using a +motley kernel found on his thread that someone modified with newer prima drivers. It has worked fine for me for months now.

I haven't touched the device in so long I would have no idea where to begin.
I suggest doing a clean install with an eng build, since those enable ADB from the beginning. Since you're at least getting bootanimation, ADB will be up in eng builds so you'll be able to see what's crapping out.

MIUI 8 Nexus 4- Any Interest?

I've been learning and figuring out how to port MIUI, and I have a general understanding of it, would anyone be interested in a port for Nexus 4? I do not have a Nexus 4 on the ready though, so it'd have to have others testing it.

Me...
Would be great to have a Miui8 for N4! I will be glad to be a tester.
im so interested
Miui 8? of course
Somebody tell me the procedure... I can port it...
I was reading the porting guide myself the other day... but it seems to be quite a bit of work!
Count me in. Currently running the last version.

Past monday I've made one version based on AOSP 6.0.1 from xda
I can't test it yet, because I've only one nexus 4 and it's used on my work.
I've tried to flash but, I can't, get stuck on the begining of updater script. I think it was because I'm on TWRP and I need to change to Clock Work Recovery.
I have no time to flash it beacuse I need to travel out from home this week. All rejects should be repaired.
If some want to test, i'll put a link to my drive. It's a heavy zip about 650 Mb, I think some apk's should be removed like FM that will not work on our nexus 4 but I can't do it today..

It's not a problem with TWRP, it's a rom size problem. Fullota.zip is too big and compatible with TWRP 3.0.2.
I'm reducing his size deleting sounds, apk's inside the zip.
I've made a first version that can be flashed (takes really long long time it's about 550Mb).
