1. I didn't restore using TB. I downloaded every single app off the play store, same results.

2. I'm telling people, again, that TB ISN'T the culprit. Restoring from TB and downloading from Play Store yields the same results. The real reason of the bootloops is system@framework@android.test.runner.jar@classes.dex. It's a file in /data/dalvik-cache. Delete it, and no more bootloops.

3. My way to "fix" the bootloops?

busybox rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@android.test.runner.jar@classes.dex

I made that script with ROM Toolbox Pro in the scripter, and set it to run at boot. The file is created during the boot process, but is otherwise unnecessary during phone usage. So, as soon as the phone boots, the script runs and deletes that file. That way, the next time I boot up, the phone "upgrades" 100 or so apps (the number depends on your data apps) and then it boots up fine. The script then deletes the file again.

Anyone else having trouble saving APNs/connecting to data?

I dont see any existing APNs (which i usually do) and i cant connect to the net either. :(

wifi works,.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rotary Heart:
That's cache, if you remove it you could have FC or issues with some apps. If that is the issue then everyone should be having it. Try it, remove everything inside the folder data/dalvick-cache/ and see what you get...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melloyellowkc:
nevermind a reboot worked and APN came back. now my data just greyed out. err somethings wrong. >_<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rotary Heart:
Try battery removal, or wipe cache and dalvick-cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fzr-r4:
just once. things were okay again after a reboot.

I noticed that message around Halloween too. I don't think it's related top the ROM, I think T-Mobile recently changed their terms of service. Quick tethering doesn't seem to trigger the message, but if you download anything significant, the message pops up.

Too bad, it was nice while it lasted :(

Just a quick question ....when this rom hits 3.0 we will have all the features we had in 2.54 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
we might not have all the features by then but everything will become as stable as it was with 2.54

I know removing a cache file is risky, but there's no difference so far. It prevents me from 20-minute-long boots, and sometimes not even booting up at all. I'd say it's worth it. Also, I've noticed that with no apps installed, and that file there, still normal boots. After I install all my apps from the play store, the boot animation plays 1.5 times, it still boots within a reasonable amount of time. The file is also still there. After I configure all my settings for those apps, aka manually "restoring" data, the strange boot happens unless I remove the file.

Also, if you're worried about FCs, just delete the file before powering off. That way, you won't be using your phone between deleting the file and it regenerating again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bostonbassman78:
And on another note I have not experienced any bootloops or any long boots except my first took about 2 minutes I personally have experienced no issue what's so ever on my nexus 7 and my gnex I did a fresh install restored apps and all my info manually thanks pa for ever improving these fantastic Roms y'all produce :thumbup:

did you use custom kernel? I got bootloop when installing trinity. but when I dirty flash again with stock kernel everything is smooth. much smoother when I'm in 2.51 +trinity (I think). so for me the culprit is the custom kernel.

Sometimes the colour of the navbar changes to green while downloading from playstore. Is it a bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Doesn't the script achieve the same results as wiping dalvik cache during every reboot.

I have haven't had a single reboot yet, since I ditched TiBu. Maybe it has to do with a specific app we're restoring that causes this? Because I've only downloaded 1/3 of the apps I had in my tibu backup from the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmbabu:
That's the per-APP Nav bar color feature that this ROM invented - strange it appeared as a bug to you :confused:

Didn't you notice the change in color of NAV bar buttons when you go to Settings for example?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoesntPostAThing:
Nope, I'm on stock kernel.

Wiping dalvik cache wipes ALL the files, and like Rotary Heart said, would likely cause FCs. The script, however, only removes one file, that so far doesn't affect any of my daily usage. No FCs, buttery smooth. Also, wiping the whole dalvik cache would mean "upgrading" about 100 more apps than the amount of apps that needed to be "upgraded" every boot by running my script.

Also, I think it is likely that a specific app doesn't play nice with PA. Because, I can restore most of my apps using ROM Toolbox Pro or TB, and not get the bootloop issue. Once I restore them all, however, it starts booting strange. I don't have time this week, or else I would have restored them batch by batch, with a reboot in between batches to find out which app is causing this. It also could just be the sheer number of apps installed. I have about 200 apps, data and system included.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
You know, I thought about that as well. So, I deleted a bunch. I left 4.2 though. I'm thinking about heading back Lord willing, since it seems as if v3 is around the corner. When I was on it, TB did not affect anything. So, it probably really is app related??? *shrugs*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoesntPostAThing:
Here's a logcat of my bootup, when I deleted "that file" before I rebooted. Not sure if it has the details you need, it's my first time taking a logcat, so I'm not sure if I did it correctly. Anyway, here it is.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Yea, I'm pretty sure it's app related. Maybe a certain app writes something to system@framework@android.test.runner.jar@classes.dex that makes the phone bootloop? Not sure. I posted a logcat, will post another one tomorrow. Hopefully moles or someone else can make sense of it and fix the problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
thank you for your reponse, but I think I havent explained well my doubts. 1st I do want the status bar to autohide, but I also want some way to click on back button whenever it is hidden (throug the power menu or whatever way I can get it from anywhere in the whole system). 2nd I don't want to only change the DPI, I also want to change the layout of some apps between tablet and phone, like for example in chrome that both layouts are different, independent from the DPI.

Maybe I could change the layout for the apps in the pad.prop, but I don't know how. I think that the feature I want is what in the OP is called per-app-layout which is said to be upcoming, but I guess now there is some way to do it manualy and the upcoming feature is a graphical and some kind of automated way for doing it, like the one for per-app-density
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I don't think the 1st can be done and conflict or you'd have to get creative with frameworkres.apk to mod it yourself. 2nd you may have to now you explained better. Chrome definitely looks better in mobile version

just installed the 0.5b and I have an issue with Apex and the app Drawer : I have only 3 icons by raw , I had a perfect drawer ( 4 icons per row) with 0.4 ROM (my settings is 9x6 in Portrait)

and my icons seems a little bigger which is not very nice

tried to set Apex to 192 , 240 and 320 : same issue , even after reboot

so I came back to the 0.4 Rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Try 220 works well for me. I use 4x5 on home screens and in app drawer I get 6x4 in app drawer

every launcher does that, no matter if phone, tablet, rooted or stock, i have yet to see a launcher that does not cut widgets for example. a phone has a resolution of 1280 height and 720 width, thats a pretty weird format to just turn around like that. it would be possible but unfortunately they all base on launcher2 and that thing has a rigid fixed layout. if launcher could actually shrink content to make space it would be something else. small peanuts though like a tiny bit of an cutoff for folders will be ironed out when i have time, dont worry.

the latest (from 13-05) fix should fix that

1. it is standard behavior. you longpress the powerbutton and get your menu back, press home and youre out. normally a tablet can not have fullscreen, cm allows us to have it with that small caveat.

2. this feature is in the making, take a look

why not, as long you dont overwrite them since some of em are hacked.

not so sound arrogant or something but dont wet ur bed over a damn launcher. its their job to make them work in tablet space and they havent cared for a long time. now they're finally waking up one by one and make them tablet ready but its still far from perfect. if a launcher does not do what you want screw its functionality, just throw it away and take something that works. trebuchet does not have many features, still a good launcher and we optimized it for the space we're running it. that being said, you must have missed the most important feature that came with 0.5, per-app.density via panel. just finetune the apps as you like them to be.

Hey moles just a little convenience. Could you make the paranoid settings a little bit higher in the column, for example there where usually the aokp rom settings where, since its easier if you dont need to scroll that much in the settings^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
OK thank you. I hope there was some way to do it manually editing some textfile like the pad.prop, but well, I will wait for that feature :P

About the back button... I think it will be very useful to have the navigation buttons in the power menu, or at least the back button, like they are in the AOKP and other ROM. I can't port it because I am not into this ROM development and also because now I don't have time as I am on exams period.

BTW, great work with this ROM! is simply awesome!

Under some circumstances SystemUI will be in the wrong orientation in regards to rotation. This is actually an AOSP bug, and the reason why Google changed rotation of some apps, but with the modded recent apps menu this is back.

i got my apps back from market, no problems. testrunner seems to be part of the framework, and if it is there must be a cache file for it, android generates these. i see nothing wrong with it. i checked cyaNogenMod and it has got the file aswell so i think deleting may work but thats not the root issue. it looks to me as if tibu manages to corrupt it. or its simply an app thats buggy, an app which you have and i dont. i restored 100 apps back, none ofbthem created bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
phone ui, curtain fills screen, bars cling to the side when in landscape, one finger swipe gets notifications, two finger swipe toggles

phablet ui, curtain has margins left and right, does not reach the Bottom, left one finger swipe notifications, right toggles.

tablet ui, combined status and navigation bar, curtain goes up, tap on the header yields honeycomb quicksettings.

thats how google defined it. you choose the one that works best for you' as rotary heart said, phone and phablet are alMost the same if you give them the same size. phone ui does what you want.

Is it possible to implement that into the phone UI? I really wanna use the phone UI (with 320 dpi) but with THAT behavior of the notifications bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alahkel:
Tested on 299.1, working good. Dirty flashed beta 3, working even better (the dsp manager).

Results about beta 3 itself, stock kernel:

no bootloops, no TiBu problems, no gapps problems. Rotation bug (systemUI fc, read my latest post before this) fixed.

Overall UI feels faster, smoother...eyegasm xD

More tests to come, in the precedent release (beta 1) I deactivated the maps app 'cos it was working even if not used, so I'm gonna reactivate it and see what happens with beta 3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
well you can just switch to that UI. keep in mind size and layout are separate in this rom - you change dpi but that will only affect the actual size. so you can size up phablet up until it reaches the same size of what youre used to in phoneUI, and then you'll have that behavior. the interface header in paprefs can do it, its the statusbar slider. but you could of course also use the "apps" section and finetune the actual app that displays these bars, systemUI - that slider does the same thing but for convenience we've given it an extra space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Um...define 'phone ui'. Do you mean the launcher? The nav bar (with the back/home/recents/menu buttons)?

I have my phone the other way around from what you want, i.e. system UI in 'phone' UI, but have my launcher in phablet (600px) layout at 192 DPI. There's no reason why you couldn't do yours in reverse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Does the current version have the option to revert to 4.1.x's lock screen shortcuts rather than use the new widget based lockscreen of 4.2? Also, are cm10 style toggles available rather than 4.2's double finger pull down toggles? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
4.2 standard widget lockscreen, we're not sure if we should include the targets

4.2 quicksettings made into toggles, cm's toggles will not go in we're sure of that one at least. the new toggle system is great though, easily extendable

double finger pulldown is standard 4.2 behavior, does not need to be implemented
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I tried setting the phone to phablet UI and increasing the dpi to 320, but the nav bar and status bar were.. umm... cut off. They didn't maintain the growth ratio, they grew to the right and off of the screen, if you know what I mean.

I remember in previous versions of PA, that wasn't a problem, you could adjust the size of phablet UI without the nav bar and status bar going crazy. I suppose it's an AOSP-related thing?

I can tell that I'm not very clear. I'll try to post a sceenshot to let you know what happens when I set my phone to phablet UI and increase the dpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
every app cuts off at a certain size. even your desktop browser does, try making the window smaller. thats the exact reason why we give you a dpi slider, so you'll be able to find the sweetspot. phablet UI needs more space because it wants to maintain its margins, but if content is pushing it out of bounds then that is standard UI behavior. same goes for tabUI, you can make it as big as you want, but somewhere around 270dpi i believe the notification center grows so big that portions of it get cut. find a setting that works for you, save that and youre good. :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bioturbo:
I agree. I tried both tibu and rom toolbox pro, they are all leading bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
would be interesting to try adb backup aswell. you can access it via gnextoolkit. its usually a nice way to do it because google has included it already on your phone. it would also be great if you could somehow figure out which app it is that makes a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Okay thanks. If definitely appreciate the old style lockscreen. It's clean and simple and it actually serves as a lockscreen. Don't understand lockscreen widgets at all. Cumbersome. That's a shame. Cm10 toggles were clean and simple and didn't need a whole secondary drawer dedicating to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
Any thought as to why when upgrading and dirty flashing from 2.99+2 to +3 I lost data? Hoping my Nandroid can restore this functionality...if not maybe time or XDA :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
when you make a design decision you'll always divide - its inevitable. google has made bold decisions before, but they think differently. the rom scene is shortsighted, it includes that which it percives does not exist and by doing so it fragments the heck out of android. when google includes something they have longterm goals in mind, API connectivity, extensions, 3rd party hooks, etc. the new toogles are more than the chain of dead images that cm had, they can be anything and even now, in this early state, theres toggles that show up when they are relevant, like the alarm clock - which is such a nice invention. think of what will be possible through this interface when the extensions come. same goes to the lockscreen - you say now you dont like it, wait until programmers release their interpretations of it. just look at how the lockscreen manages the camera and imagine the cool toys this will host in future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alahkel:
and themes are working just great =) at the moment the battery usage doesn't show a maps crazy usage xD let's hope...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitalsunshine:
What? Rom toolbox too? Anyone tried full nandroid backup restore on 2.99? Any trouble?

And what's the problem with random missing apn? I guess its technical problem. I wouldn't understand. Hope it will fixed soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
Same, can't test wifi, but I assume it works as it recognizes networks. You are getting reception bars, but no data (maybe no calls too)? that's my problem, just wont connect properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i did. np. in my opinion these apps are not updated to 4.2 yet. same as the recoveries which also made a mess first. i havent had any trouble at all simply by avoiding these apps. i wish though gapps would restore as before - this really hurts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmbabu:
I didnt' face this. Did you push gapps before the first boot? OR is your recovery latest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parthipanramesh:
I tried a adb backup with the gnextoolkit. I'm having boot loops. :( I think it's a AOSP bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fiftyclick:
I had the same problem, but it was resolved by flashing a different radio. When 4.2 came out I flashed the new XX radio, but later reverted back to the UG radio. So, check which radio you are using, make sure it is Jelly Bean compatible, and ensure it is for your region.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yeah, I know that there's a sweet spot for that, and yes, it's somewhere around 270, but even that is too small for me. What amuses me is that in previous builds of PA, increasing the dpi in phablet UI did not render the nav bar off balance. So I was wondering if that's an AOSP thing.

Btw, find attached what my nav bar and notifications bar look like with a dpi of 320 with phablet UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
it could still be the twrp recovery issue. users would loose their data connection sometimes, some suggested the recovery corrupted the partition that stores the relevant data. this happened on all roms, still its rare. in the twrp topic theres some guidelines to avoid it. otherwise we dont touch the radio or any part that would have anything to do with it. we fetch the repos for it straight from googles servers, but only for compilation, we dont have them on our git. since its basically the same that we had 1 month before on 4.2.1 i'd say the recovery maybe has still that little kink sometimes.
