WOW finally got 10 posts done to be able to post in here, great work guys! appreciate the effort!

I am quite confused about the status bar icons. Am i correct in thinking you guys dont believe there to be an issue? The screenshots posted havent shown it the best i dont think, when battery is low and during charging is where i notice it the most. it goes from two colour to monotone which looks more like a 100% full battery. I'll look at capturing it screenshots a little later.

I think i am also confused because i am a little unsure about what the different android system apps willl change if they are customised, ie what does systemUI change? android system? what screens will launcher changes affect? (desktop, but app drawer also?) i've not been able to find anything that helps to clarify this (please anyone point out anything you're aware of).

So if we want to customise an app, but just say the nav bar colour, setting other values to #00000000 should cause the default system values to be applied? so if i can get it working with stock settings, make my nav bar and status bar color changes, the status icons should remain unchanged (if set to 0's)?

also the "ugly holes" (i get what you mean better know, had them for awhile but didnt realise thats what you meant) are still there a little, any info on how to minimise/correct that?

Whats the chance the PA team members would post there normal prefs files so that people with issues can set it to exactly like the devs, which could help source the issue?

another question, any major reason for the change from 720dpi to 1000dpi for tabui? some apps still have 720 in there individual settings, will that be the same effect as 1000?

I'd also love to see anything that lists the various pref file values if any was about?

Anyway enough for now,

thanks again for the great work!

I remember with previous pa ROMs (pre-4.2) the otg support didn't need external apps like stickmount.. is it a feature that's going to be re- implemented? thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrBlackbriar:
The battery-icon is an issue. I hope the devs are working on that and will be able to "fix" it for 3.0.

Changes in systemUI affect the recents-screen. No idea about android system. The launcher also includes the app-drawer.

Yes. That's the way I've set it up now. Just make sure that you don't override any stock settings with the system-wide settings (Hybrid Properties -> Interface).

You (and anyone else) can always just reset your PAprefs be going to Hybrid Properties -> Tools.

This change just affects the navigation and status bar, because Google killed the "real" TabUI (combined bar) in 4.2, so the PA devs brought it back as the 1000p layout. The layout of any other apps is independent of that.

I hope I was able to help you.

so this propably means that after january we will have pa updated to 4.2 on every device that has cm10.1 and had pa for 4.1.2 by darknessys like for example gt-i9100
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
PA is aosp based so cm 10.1 has no relevance to anything. Its up to the pa team when they will open source the project again. Definitely not until after 3.0 is released though.

Guys, some help here. Have been using and updating every version since 1.6 had some issues but all solved. The last flash however got me into a strange place.

I just updated 2.99.9 from .8. strange thing is Google play only recognizes 105 of the 160 apps installed. I have reflashed 2.999 and flashed gapps, wiped cache and davlik, but still no dice.

I have never touched build.prop manually, no different kernel, and this is even the case before any settings change pa pref.

any idea where to start?

also, when changing in pa pref/ interface, and changing system/user apps to 220 dpi, not all apps change dpi either.....

What are the "standard" dpi values for phablet ui (600p)?

I mean, for instance, "standard" values for phone ui (360p) are 240 dpi, 320 dpi, etc, for tabUI (1000p) is 192 dpi...what is the optimal setting for 600p?

Also, would someone be so kind to explain me what those number represent? I know quite well what dpi is, but which calculations throw out those numbers? (360p, 600p, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

Ive read users posting "Keep on the topic" but always being ignored. Stay on topic. Do use PA packages to be safe. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrBlackbriar:
What are you referring to? I would guess that the Google Now Camera Search-crash is caused by the GoogleSearch-app included in the PAgapps because they include a lot apps and put them in system/apps. I'm not using the PAgapps and I am having no issues with this feature.

On a side note: thanks gautam_nexus, never even heard of that feature before. Good to see how everything is being integrated into GoogleNow.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ledoweb:
Quite severe bug found yesterday after a bit of testing. It seems that if you don't set anything in particular for a certain app, it WON'T stick to the system overall parameters set in PAPrefs "Interface" tab.

Take "People" for instance. I set my phone like this:

Workspace UI: 360p Phone Mode

System Apps default UI: 360p Phone Mode

User Apps default UI: 360p Phone Mode

System Apps default size: 240 DPI

User Apps default size: 240 DPI

User Interface size: 240 DPI

Navigation Bar Size: 100%

Lockscreen Size: 240 DPI

Under #SYSTEM PREFERENCES# I have NO STRINGS related to Contacts app or whatever.

Take a look:

What is that? Messy layout everywhere. Now I add com.android.contacts.layout=360 to properties.conf, and restart the app. Take a look now:

Much better. But in theory, nothing should have changed, because if an app hasn't any string in properties.conf, it should stick to default sizes and layouts. Actually, this doesn't happen. The very same thing showed up with several other apps, such as Settings, Etsy, PagineBianche and PagineGialle (apps for italian users), DSP Manager, etc. Most of the times you reproduce the problem because instead of having tabbed layout (where you can swipe left or right different screens), you get a top menu to tap where a list of all the "tabs" comes out. Weird.

p.s.: The hybrid engine slows down the system A LOT when changing colors. If I set custom colors for launcher, but nothing for settings, settings takes twice to start up. And this happens whenever you have two consecutive apps with different custom colors set.

Kind of off topic actually. What's the wallpaper/theme on the GN that's on the main page. The red stuff and the red on screen buttons. I know with PA 2.54 we were able to change it to different colors, but can't seem to find it yet on PA 2.99 beta 9.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drafgnjom:
I guess that wallpaper is NEW at beta 2.99.5. And about the buttons, you can find them at hybrid settings.

If you install the theme "hot cream sandwich" you get something similar.

I went to the Hybrid Settings, then Interface and changed the Navigation buttons color to red and other various stuff and clicked on Apply for each one. However when I went back to the main home screen by pressing the middle button, they were restored automatically to default.

How come?

Edit: It seems to stay with the new colors I set when I go to the Settings app. Otherwise it goes back to default when I exit Settings.

If you want those settings to stick on your homescreen you have to go to the launcher you are using in paranoidpreferences/apps and set the colors from there. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
oh no its mister toggle gate

you toy around with system wide settings, keep in mind apps gotta fetch these props. and they do at start up. just changing something up there might work or might not coz apps are probably running still, its up to android to decide - even when you quit them they might still run. thats why you have to FC apps when you give em props, to make absolutely sure they pick up. i cant ask you to FC 250 apps, including systemapps, you can use these global settings but use them with care. better reboot.

if your app changed then you did something to it, its that easy. it doesnt change by itself and it doenst change layout if you only touched dpi, its impossible. i applied the settings you posted and i get what i expect, slightly smallerlockscreen. slightly smaller user and systemapp. slightly smaller contacts app, no layout screw ups.

as for hybrid slowing down. it doesnt. youre holding it wrong man.

the buttons are simply tinted red via paprefs

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoesntPostAThing:
+1, this would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ledoweb:
I forgot how impolite you can be. But I won't do the same mistake again, I will only try one more time to explain you in basic english what happens.

Clean flash. I think default layouts are ugly, so I edit properties.conf and I delete the contacts string. I think this is allowed, isn't it? Well. REBOOT. I set layouts and dpi as posted in my previous post VIA PA SETTINGS and not editing properties.conf. REBOOT. I launch "People", and that ugly layout comes out. I set Contacts in 360p and I FORCE CLOSE it. Then I launch People again. Everything works as intended.

But, you know what? You're the coder, right? Everything must be perfect. It's always an user fault.

So, if you're so sure that this hybrid engine is bugless and flawless, take a look at this. Download and launch "Expedia" via the Play Store. Now find me a way to make it look almost similar to what's shown in the first pictures in the Play Store. There's NO WAY to make it look as intended, because that app always shows the tablet layout. No matter which settings do you apply onto it.

Expedia refuses to use the phone layout. I have several Android devices right here, and only on my PA Galaxy Nexus it looks like that.

But you'll surely say it's all fine and it's me messing something somewhere, so you don't have to fix this or that. And I believed that our duty was to be your best bug testers...stupid me! It's obvious that in a so called "developer section" , all what you have to do is

a) asking noob questions one billion times;

b) venerate developers;

c) insulting other users that find real bugs, and helping instead those who are so lazy to ask something one billion times until someone answers.

The battery icon has a thunder-shaped hole instead of a white thunder.

But...just ignore my entire post, I'm only a mister "toggle gate".

And you are mister "I-force-admin-to-ban-this-user-because-he's-pointing-out-real-and-documented-bugs-that-I-can't-test-because-I-have-a-SGSII".

Hybrid slows when changing colors, because every app doesn't load until the color engine has ender switching colors. So for instance instead of launcher->settings, you have launcher->black screen->engine resets colors and apply new ones->settings loads. And this is very noticeable...but maybe not on your amazing new N4.

It's funny. You said "you're holding it wrong", that sounds like a quote from someone at Apple. I think it would be more appropriate to you, and you know why? Because you and Apple behave the same way: "We're perfect and magic, the user is making something wrong, not us".

Users feedbacks should be like a bible to you, and now that you've dozens of posts every day, you ignore them. That's the way (an Apple) dev should work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] N1XM1X:
Expedia working fine for me.. must be something you have done? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quaff:
yeah works for me too, not sure what he did to his settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoesntPostAThing:
It does this for me only on the launcher, but only because I played around with kernel settings, and I had a million apps running and was out of RAM. On these settings I had no lag anywhere, and everything was perfect. Except the battery, which was why I switched to a different kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
Just dug through the thread because ironically since installing 2.99 I no longer have access to what used to be the sdcard when I go to recovery. It actually

IS

the ROM doing it, but there is a way to fix it. You would need to remove all the symlinks to the "actual" sdcard folder and recreate them while in the recovery to point to the right place. It seems to be a difference in how the system detects the mount points versus how the recovery detects them. When you go from a 4.2 base to a 4.1 base, the system reads the old versions and works just fine, but doesn't clean up the 4.2 stuff. The recoveries can handle both, so they think you are expecting 4.2 and default to that since it exists. The important thing is to remove the symlinks, not just delete the folder. That is how you end up taking out your files with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
which symlinks do you mean? i just did a clean start today and accessing my sd is no problem. if you know which folders and files please list - i can pass it along, this is not a part of the whole building process i know much about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
im telling you youre having something in check that puts apps into tabUI. im the programmer that wrote the thing, i should know how it works, but yeah, youre right whatever youre sayin.

ps. the other thing about colors slowing apps down is nonsense. it happens in systemUI, a separate app running in separate threads. its slowing em down, flash xylon, i heard apps start up real fast on that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
It depends on the PA version, the recovery type, and the recovery version. With the newest PA and the newest TWRP, moving up to the root of SDCARD and deleting the 0 folder will fix the links automatically. This is also directed at running a 4.1 build after a 4.2 build with a recovery that isn't fully updated for 4.2. That is when you may run into link issues and your best bet is to umount the sdcard (which will only leave the links), then remove the /sdcard and any other links, recreate them, and then mount again. You aren't going to have an issue accessing 4.2 links on a 4.2 build with a 4.2 recovery.

... I think I will give Xylon a try, too. I've heard good things about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
it sounds terribly dangerous, i dont think a rom should delete or wipe user data, i have never heard of any that does. as far i know its a recovery thing but to make sure im gonna ask aaron and jon, they really know this stuff well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
What are you talking about? I said the current versions of everything, when combined, did

not

have the issue. I also said nothing of wiping user data or that a build should perform this task.

NO

build should be performing that cycle while running. It is something that should be done in recovery when no data is being passed around. The simplest way to put it is there is

nothing

that your build should be doing about this. This is for someone facing issues to do themselves and should

never

be automated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
then i have no clue what you mean. what exactly is wrong now and what can i do to help you. users should install the latest recovery, i have a warning for that on the frontpage. i think that should be enough, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
its an optical illusion. it seems slower because you can see the bars animating. but they do that in another app and in another thread. b9.5 has an on/off switch for per.app,color. the switch goes deep and really prevents the signals from going out. if you compare - its the same. right now i had to do a factory wipe because i flashed my phone dead - so i could compare with stock. same again. but if you do feel its slower, even if its not but the feeling wont go away, just switch it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
I was leaving the information there for future readers who run into that issue so they don't end up making it worse or go asking the TWRP recovery thread how to fix the issue, since it's ROM-specific to a previous beta. It's more for those who can't seem to solve the issue to find when being instructed to search the thread. I don't quite understand the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
maybe i shouldnt go in here while hacking code (compiling takes a while on my laptop) - my braincells are pretty much occupied. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
Yes I can confirm the issue is still here. This requires a change in SystemUI.apk/res/layout/navigation-bar.xml

android.scale type="center"

needs changing to

android.scale type="fitCenter"

Under landscape back button properties obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] N1XM1X:
I think this caused the confusion..? on reading this it sounds like you found a bug in the current ROM that you have a fix for.. when really you found a fix for something that has already been fixed! nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
thanks pal!

its a derp actually, a leftover from an old test. no scale type at all does the trick. (-:

btw, you made the original mods for navbar height. this is directly related to that. you once sent me a piece of code. i looked into it but couldnt use it because it was fixed resource code. pa made it kind of complicated because resources must be able to change on the fly. i did manage to make the bar smaller, well, thats what all other roms do. but i wish i could allow it to grow bigger. thats where the center derp found its way in it. the problem was that all resources get handed out at app dpi by the package manager. systemUI at 160dpi will get 160dpi drawables. blowing them up to 320 dpi results in pixelsoup. i tore up the entire framework in search for a solution but at some point gave up. if you want to take a look ... trick a 160dpi sysUI to display a full size sharp button bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Moles, thanks for this ROM man. I can't go to other Roms, this is too freakin DOPE!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
Either way, as long as it works. :)

Just seen your edit.. Bit late, I'm not a programmer but I get the picture. Probably won't have the time to look at this before next week but I might give it a go. But seriously, blow it up? Have you seen the size of that thing?

Edit 2 got it. When going back to 320.. OK. Gotcha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
Just wanted to ask WHY do you manually edit properties.conf instead of editing the people app directly on paprefs.

Curiosity, nothing more, since doing it only on paprefs makes it imposible to get your issue
