Could just be me, but I have had better results with certain settings than others. I did have FC's with Gmail before I got it right, worked ok on opening screen but FC'd when viewing search results. Played around with it and it was ok. And with Facebook it wouldn't upload photo's with custom dpi but did with standard. Maybe there was some other reason but now I've got everything running so I'm happy! :laugh:

One thing I want to ask: I'm not moaing about battery life at all. very happy, but I am seeing about a 2% drain every hour on standby, with hdspa and sync and push and everything on. I have betterbatterystats and I'm not getting any unusual wakes, everything looks OK, but this 2% does seem more than I got with other normal ROMs (that I ran for about a week before discovering paranoid!;) Just wanted to know Is this about normal for others?

That's weird, I've done clean install of 2.16, backuping apps with GNex toolkit (with Nexus domestic backup, not with TiBu as it said have cause some problems with restored apps), I did experienced a smoother scrolling all-round, except when scrolling through/into widgets tab.

But maybe it's just the Holo HD that i used, what launcher did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
Treb or nova its smoother. Not a fan of holo for exactly that reason I find the app drawer stutters at times. Holo is smooth on the home screens though. Can't win em all! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erups:
Regarding my back button problem:I discovered the touch area is misaligned with respect to the button image.

Ie if I click on the actual curve of the arrow (to the right) it gets registered perfectly and always.

If I click on the tip of the arrow most if the time it didn't get registered.

I'm using phabletUI with 250 status bar size.

I'll try phone ui and see if anything changes.

Edit: just restarted in phone ui and the back button misalignment is gone!

So it has something to do with phabletUI.

Edit 2: after rebooting in phabletUI it's much better, still a bit off to the right of the button image, but much more usable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dee8905:
Garh dilemma..I've tried Nova and I have to say the homescreen are as smooth as well, but, how do I say it, it's fast but a bit jittery. Not lags, but jittery.. :silly:

Maybe I'll just go back to Nova, the lack of icon pack support other than GO's has been a downer for Holo. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bostonbassman78:
With the new update for apex seems good no lag no jitters
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dee8905:
Yep, I've been using Apex until 3 days ago, was hoping the struttery widgets drawer to be smoother on Holo, but I see no difference.

I was switching to Apex from Nova because of the jittery homescreen I mentioned earlier. But it seems right now I'll install both of them and do apple-to-apple comparison (no pun intended) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
Apex runs fine here too. Only the appdrawer stutters from time to time. Well homescreens too but this is Android it will never be totally lagfree.

Is this JustUnBean JellyBlack theme? How is it on 2.16? It was perfect on 2.15, but even with transparency at to 0% status bar still flickers from gray to white.

What kernel are you using to get good battery life? Mine is draining very fast and I'm on low light and inverted apps. With the screen on I lose 1% every 5 min, with screen off 5% an hr. Dunno what happened, but wasn't the case with older build and I got an extended battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
Maybe it's smoother "in app", but it's the same "all around", at least with the stock kernel and zram on 26%

I can't find this

Tablet UI: "Notifications" in the notificationpanel/settingsview will now control the nag-overlay. Switch it off and you wont be bothered by it anymore. Notifications still come in with sound, icons show still.

Should it be an option to set somewhere in settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
The theme is Black Infinitum from the Play Store. The best dark theme I have came across so far for my taste. Clean and un-cluttered.

I'm using the CM kernel that comes with the rom. Though I have it underclocked to 700Mhz at the moment since I'm no speedfreak. And I emulate a lot and it still plays PS1 games in 60fps at 700Mhz so I do not really need any more speed. Battery life has always been pretty good for me even when not underclocking. Stand-by time is great with about 0,5% loss per hour. Usually 4% loss overnight.

Does your phone go into deep-sleep?

Isn't it the notification toggle on the expanded notification bar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
Stock cm kernel? Zram enabled? How much uptime?

I just disabled zram and rebooted, it's flying for now, but as I said, with zram in 26%, after more than 12 hours of uptime, it got sluggish for changing apps and getting back to trebuchet

Thanks! This theme is very similar to JellyBlack, without the flicker effect on status bar.

My phone does go into deep sleep, but I'm not sure why battery drains so much. With I'm on stock kernel now, but I do have sync on few accounts if that is the main cause.

I have this always on phablet, figured it was combination of adding an extra button and messing around with the size.

It looks so nice and you get used to pressing the "wrong" part of the screen...

PA 2.16 + all inverted gaps from team ice + a63 trinity kernel is god like.

Superb job :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] team56th:
Does using stock CM Trebuchet instead of Nova Launcher make the phone "snappier"? I fresh flashed 2.16 and while there seems to be some improvements it is not as much as what others say. I use Trinity kernel and that might be the reason as well, but I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BurnOne77:
I use Holo launcher HD, I think it's faster than all other launchers and I pretty much only use trinity kernels.

This rom, the instant I loaded it felt so snappy and buttery smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erups:
Wasn't happening back with 2.1 so something has changed...

Moles do you know anything about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
what happened between 2.1 and now is that cm's dynamic button control got merged. i have no problems in phabUI though, i cant fix the issue until i can replicate it somehow. tell me one by one how you upset it starting from a fresh install and fresh hybrid props.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live-evil:
Was it the same person who compiled both 2.15 and 2.16?

Because mhl/hdmi didn't work in 2.15 but does in 2.16 and there is no reason code wise that would change that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
your launcher was propped artificially to be fast, simply because aosp lacked speed, but fast doesnt matter much --- go back to trebuchet for a moment now and you'll see just how ugly it feels to swipe a page in the alternative, they're so fast they'll fling two pages at once, but lack the buttery feel of googles launcher2, which is finally able to take advantage of aosp's true capabilities. - and that hasnt always been like that, cm has had a drastic speed bump, it is up to par with any other rom out there. in the end it doesnt matter, if it works for you thats all what counts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blac Caesar:
I'm not sure if this has been asked already.. I didn't search thru the pages. But I've noticed that my Google search, thru Google Now or widget, FCs every time I try n use it.. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
install gapps. if you dont, there is no google now. if you do it will run like always. each time you install this rom (or any aosp rom, most of em at least) the sys partition is wiped, that means no google apps anymore. you install gapps right after the update, then you boot up. you will keep your accounts, you wont need to log in again and everything will work like always.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blac Caesar:
Indeed, I've done that each time.. from 1.92 on up. But this is a recent issue that just started from when I flashed 2.14. Not sure what the issue could be, bc PA is flawless all around never had issues or the lag problem people spoke of earlier either. I'll try reflashing everything again shortly..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bostonbassman78:
Try a different set of gapps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah this could be it aswell. im using goo because im tired of searching. havent hab much problems then except picasa and gmail-phabUI-search-tap result.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] team56th:
I just lowered animation speed to Relaxed (slowest option) and immediately got what you were saying. It wasnt like this even with Liquid 1.5 with Linaro optimized kernel. Looks great. BTW, does this solve the issue of overly emphasized speed in animations and solve the issue? I mean, Nova Launcher will still take advantage of Project Butter implemented in recent CM10 build and Paranoid 2.16 right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blac Caesar:
Reflashed the goo one I had.. seems to be working smoothly now! Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shandy Shadow:
2.16 is superb !!!! no lags at all, and the improvement is noticable. battery isn't too bad with franco here. 2h 30m screen on, 1h phone calls, 22% battery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NathanielCaron:
Some details

I tried many things this evening and it seems like, if I switch workspace to hybrid off, reboot, then phablet, reboot. Everything's back to normal. Then I change size of navbar, reboot and buttons are offset. Tried many sizes, sometimes it feels right again, reboot, the problem is back.

It's always the same offset, having the touch region being a bit more centered than the icon. So, if I put my finger right on top of the icon, the action is not triggered. (maybe I have big thumb but still)

It was a clean wipe install since I'm back after a while on Zenon. The only thing I see could be some preferences brought back by Titanium... Since I had some navbar mod installed before, but still... it's a clean wipe.

Also, it'd be nice to be able to size the navbar independently of the status bar.

If there's some precisions I could bring, i'd be happy but I can't do a fresh install right now (at least until thursday) to test it prior to titanium restore.

Anyhow, the quick fix seems to put the work space in phone mode in the user interface section.

Frankly,I can't really tell the difference.

question:

- any way to have smaller icons with apex? Except with multicon widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antoxin:
Hi everyone!

I've looked through the thread but it seems that the issue I have never came up.

I'm running 2.0 version and if I'm updating to a newer version (any) without full wipe I'm getting wifi connection problem (it always stays grey no matter what). Is there a solution that allows me to update to a newer version without this issue and keep all my apps and settings as it was before update.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drean:
Quick question about this ROM; will it allow me to purchase a 'tablet app' in the Play Store?

I'd like to buy "Cut the Rope HD", but can't as it's not compatible with all my devices. I'll be getting an Android tablet soon, and would like to snag this while it's on sale.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
im not sure, but i think u can always change your build.prop settings to tablet settings and do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drean:
Can anyone recommend a simple guide that I can read to figure out how to do the above? I'm currently running CM9.1, and when I lowered my LCD density below 200, the UI failed to load. Figured I could just flash another ROM that might be easier to modify to buy this app.

Thanks.

you need to install gapps after flashing any version of pa ;)

that grey color is not a problem per se, it just means your phone is not connected to Google servers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erups:
This time I flashed the latest update over my 2.1 but with an older version (say 2.14?) I did a clean wipe before flashing.

Then steps are just to select phabletUI and do the asked restart.

After that back button touch area is misaligned from the underlying image.

Same result with both dirty and clean flash.

I also changed the status bar dpi to 260.

Not much else I can tell you I'm afraid.

It's so misaligned in fact that a touch halfway between home and back results in a back getting registered...

And the menu button to the right is hard to get registered.

If I reset to phone ui everything is fine.

Don't know, can I do anything to help debug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
play store will work. but it will have its rules, if things are not made for your device or are not available in your country it will behave as always.

its not just the dpi, play fetches more than that. could be the marker in build.prop tat says tablet or phone for instance. download build.prop editor and edit it. or just get a hacked market from xda, although i havent seen one that can download HD apps. i hacked one in the ics days and it could, but it wouldnt work with todays google framework anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
doesnt it exist? i mean when i got to system/notification drawer i see 2g/3g. i dont use toggles but i can activate it, doesnt work?

and even if not, my goodness, install "power toggles" and have your toggle, wheres the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
finally i see it. its the statusbar-size setting, which is nothing else but sysUI's dpi. looks like i must rewrite cm's button panel for that. it works in the standard setting though. go to workspace and tap "phablet UI" ... this should run like always, does it?

im actually surprised you can edit the statusbar size. before cm's mod you could not, it would make the buttons go out of bounds. should i be able to heal the offset problem i will integrate a new setting in paprefs, phabletUI big.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erups:
Hope you can fix that Moles!

But a curiosity: for me the statusbar is the upper one (in phone and phab UI) where notifications are displayed.

Does it also affect touch buttons?

Didn't know that, normal is 225 dpi, I'll try that and report.

Edit:

ok it's better because optically you aim for a smaller target, but to me it appears it's always a little offset.

If you try touching around the back icon, you see that it gets recognized a lot more when you move farther to the right of the image than to the left. (don't know if I'm clear when I try to explain this...)

Don't get me wrong it's not that I want it to register in ideous places, it's just that for the way I use my fingers I often end up to the left of the back (millimeters, but my thumb is evidently enough ot move the touch point farther), and there I have a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
2.16= perfect

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the problem is that the navigationbar in phablet mode works differently, it is made for bigger devices. the buttons have padding, which originally made them go out of bounds. in cm's implementation they dont go out of bounds, but the views eat each other up and overlay one another because the space is simply not sufficient on a small galaxy nexus. nexus is a device that really has only 360dp. phablet buttons were written for 600dp devices likes nex7. but 225 dpi at least shrinks it down a bit and it seems to work out just fine, to me it was the sweetspot that made it possible for all views to fit in nicely, thats why i chose it for the preference.

what i am asking myself is, what do you gain when you set phabletUI to 260dpi? that is the same as phoneUI in 260 dpi, the only difference is that the notificationdrawer does not reach to the bottom.

i will make some further tests and decide later ...

but i am not sure if i should heal it right now, the only way would be to kill the padding. but that could look crappy on a nexus7 then. another way would be to rewrite the implementation and determine the padding by code and measuring the actual screen size, but that would be alot of work and really i dont see the benefits right now. dpi is not bulletproof, you have found a setting to upset your environment - i would suggest you go back to default 225 or use phoneUI in 260 dpi.

btw, if you want to see what i mean, go to settings/dev settings/show layout bounds. you'll see exactly where the buttons are overlaid, the views left and right overlap and swallow half of the touch-target.

edit:

i made another test killing the 600dp layouts alltogether. it works, well, it should - same implementation as in phone mode. i test it on my nex7. if it looks ok we have a solution.

The game I'm looking to install is "Cut the Rope HD", which is on sale today for $0.25.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to find it in the Play Store, even with PA2.16 and the above settings. (You found "Cut the Rope Experiments HD" instead, which is a different game).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmean:
i can see it on 2.00 with inverted market. did you try resetting play store to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i dont see cut the rope HD. i see cut the rope, for 25 cent. bought it aswell. this is normal though, this is how the market is programmed, it has nothing to do with this rom or any rom for that matter. market is an external app and has its own rules. if you want to break these rules you gotta search xda for a solution, there are hacks out there or build.prop tweaks, etc. i dont feel the need though to stuff that into the rom because you never know what it will upset on another end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekMcLeod:
I followed that link, it did take me to Cut the Rope HD but, it isn't compatible with any of my devices and I'm sure the site always says if it is, even if the phone thinks it isn't. All the devices linked to my account are a Gnex. N7 and Note. Unless the site is being screwy with me, you'll have to just get a non-HD version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erups:
Thank you Moles for trying that.

The reasoning behind that is simple: i tried PhabUI and, due to my sight, the status bar was way too small for comfortable usage.

So I liked the layout, but necessited a bigger statusbar and so I used the dpi setting.

Nothing special :p

I now set it to phoneUI with 260 status bar, I can say that I like the narrower dropdown and smaller touchbuttons of PhabUI a lot more, but if it's too much of an hassle (I tried the show layout thingie, and saw the heavy criscrossing going on!) I can easily live with phoneUI :)

In my experience you need to do it from your browser. I thought I had heard that the play store would now let you buy any app in a browser, but if it doesn't work, chrome has any extension that spoofs the play store to let you buy, and download the apk for any app you want. Then you can side load it. I'm not at home and I don't remember the name of the extension, but it works great.
