Why bother? If you're already installed, updated, and running there is no point. Just download the package and when a new release comes out use it. I wouldn't waste time flashing something that you already have on your phone. Do what ya'want'though....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp917:
I think the bug fix is for the date not showing correctly in notifications (see this post). Seems to work on mine so I think toro is all set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Hot damn! I can run PA again! I was having some severe battery drain issues with the last Alpha. Tried a few different kernels, but ended up flashing over to Slim Bean. Couldn't resist trying Alpha 6 when I saw it posted though. Battery life is a hair shy of what I was getting with the 2.99 build (best battery life I've seen on my device), but well within reason. Running with Kubo r46 and everything is snappy and responsive. Many thanks to the PA team! Keep up the awesome work!

So far, battery on this has been atrocious.

I'm running with AK 250 and my battery life has been better than when I was running Alpha 5. Battery life on that was terrible.

It is probably the most popular kernel for the galaxy nexus right now. There is also a newer version available as well.

Update: PA-3.56 HALO7

Latest updated build of PA 3.56 (HALO7) is available on goo, and the link has been posted to the OP.

Link to updated gapps (22-May-2013) version also posted.

FYI, I will be on holiday for the next week, and expect to be somewhat network challenged, so probably no additional updates here until I return late next week. Of course this means that you can expect new features like powering your phone from cosmic background radiation to be released during that time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbear6708:
Lol...hear that neph!??? Lmao... At least we have an eta when Jay Bob will be back!!!! Are new gapps required? I've got the prior version...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kdmhong:
Nevermind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roidsmith:
Do you just flash the kernels like a mod? Do you have to wipe anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Anyone have a mirror of PA Alpha7 and the new May22 Gapps, Goo.im is the worst website to ever exist when it comes to download speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbr05ki:
Wipe cache and dalvik then fix permissions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Flashing a kernel requires no additional wiping. The only time additional wiping is needed is when a prior custom kernel had it's own ramdisk. You never need to wipe cache/dalvik or fix permissions when flasshing a kernel. You may however have to flash the stock kernel to clear custom ramdisk before switching to a new kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbr05ki:
Good to know. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Absolutely. :)

Running alpha7, seems to be running pretty well with AK! First time on AK and I like it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbear6708:
Running great here. Its really odd tho. If I follow links and DL from goo website it's very slow. If I use the goo app.. Very fast.. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Should have left the stock kernel alone. Dirty flashed yesterday's update and forgot to flash the Kubo kernel afterwards. Battery life is back on par with what I remember from the 2.99 days. No lag or any other trouble for that matter. This is why PA rocks. I knew that with a little bit of patience the kinks were going to be ironed out. Thank you jaybob for getting the new update kicked out to the Toro community so quick!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
having some serious lag on the latest alpha with AK kernel. camera freezes first use, google now takes for ever to load, browser locks up, day dream locks up the system. reflashing again with the stock kernel to see how it is. and my battery life is horrible. lost 31% in 1hr
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cowsquad:
Clean flash or dirty one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
it was a dirty flash, as i always have done.

New to PA. Is 3.56 (HALO7) considered and alpha?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
The PA team is still referring to it that way, though I am getting daily driver stability with it. The last post I read on their G+ page indicated that they are getting ready to start assigning Beta status to new builds. Not sure when that starts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
3.56 is not alpha... the code involved in HALO is alpha. You should be fine flashing if you have any concerns around that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
Can't wait til halo goes on beta and all the chop issues are smoothed out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blacklight1025:
Yes, according to the Google+ page, it will be in beta soon. And I haven't had any problems with this rom. Pretty stable for an alpha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
interesting little thing I have been testing/noticing lately. It does not seem to be ROM specific as I at times jump around for fun little testing purposes but it seems that google nows initial use is incredibly slow in comparison to a stock rom or stock android on another device. This I have noticed since for the past....2-3 weeks? The initial use is dead slow but once it loads then every search that follows is its normal quick self. If you then clear that from the recents history and the very next time is apparently then considered its initial use and is slow for the first time yet again. I do clean and dirty wipes, and I even did a full wipe and went to a stock rooted rom and did a full setup to sync up perfectly before wiping and clean flashing to another rom. I am not positive what could be happening. The strange part is that out of my multiple daily/weekly use devices which currently consist of my toro gnex, nexus 7 and galaxy tab, my gnex and galaxy tab are the rooted ones with custom rome. My nexus 7 is pure stock and yet both it and my galaxy tabs google now runs like its normal fast self at all times. I know its not a connection thing since here where I am in NY we have great LTE and I even tried it over wifi on numerous occasions.......I may make a video to detail these exact findings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
i did a clean flash, seems to work a lot better. i never experienced the google now issue with other roms, but then again, i was running PA 3.15 for a month or so. i still got lag when i opened facebook, then closed it quickly, nova launcher was really slow and unresponsive until i turned off the screen, waited a few seconds then turned it back on. camera did not freeze this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Anyone notice with tablet UI the "back" and "home" navigation buttons lag when drawing? I'm on HALO7 with latest AK kernel..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AznInertia:
I did a clean flash of PA 3.56 (Halo 7) but I noticed that some of the icons are off center when it shows in the Halo circle. Does this happen for everyone else?

I.e. When I get a gmail notification in Halo, the gmail icon is offset to the top left part of the circle and not directly in the center.

Is there any way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Yup, I'm seeing the same thing with AquaMail.. System icons like "connected as a media device" seem to be centered though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itslels:
Count me in as well. Can't remember what icons they were but I have seen a few off centered icons in the halo bubble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simonbarsinistr:
I generally dirty flash too, but my rule of thumb is not to report anything unless it can be replicated after a clean flash.

Too many variables that can cause issues with dirty flashes. Any problems are most likely my own fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
even after a clean flash, i'm still getting some choppiness, lag and really bad battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simonbarsinistr:
Well good! You clean flashed and got the issue to replicate, so you've eliminated some possible complications.

Now, if you find that one operation tends to act up and really cause lag every time, something that you can consistently depend on to be an issue, then you can start a logcat in terminal, and initiate that activity. If it indeed has the same lag you've experienced, then you can end the logcat, and share it here! Then maybe the devs can get a better idea of the parameters of the issue. And you could really help out and participate!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrillMouster:
I've been having the same problem, and Play Store reviews indicate that others are too. Google Now's initial search and voice detection is twice as fast my wife's stock unrooted VZW GNex than it is on my VZX GNex running PA. However, on my rooted, but STOCK, Nexus 7 it's just as slow as it is on my PA GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
or i'll just fix it myself.

it seems that disabling the app data back up and people details sync reduced the battery consumption. installing AK Kernel seems to fix the lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simonbarsinistr:
Even better! I like the initiative. If only everyone were like you, the threads wouldn't end up cluttered with the same useless posts over and over, way to set an example!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbear6708:
I have found that if I have trickster set different CPU speeds etc, I get lag. If I install a kernel and don't change things... Perfecto!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
The one CPU thing I change anymore after installing AK experimental is switching to ondemandplus. I seem to get better battery life without any noticeable lag compared to the default. I also change the color settings to the "anarkia" setting. When I start playing with other stuff I start getting significant lag and SODs (frequency settings), and force closes/reboots (undervolting).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
I'm on alpha 7 and just noticed a major security issue. HALO is running and functional from the emergency dialer, meaning someone can use it to bypass your lock screen to access your data. Is this the best place to report this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlsesler:
Anyone else freaked out by the fact they are posting on page 666?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azrith:
PIE!

Am I overlooking a setting to make the notifications/extra text appear in PIE more quickly? I had that setting on Axiom but not seeing an equivalent here. Not really a deal breaker since this ROM is so polished all around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itslels:
Yeah you are. Settings -> toolbar -> pie style

Anyone have a mirror since goo is dead again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
3.56 here with 5-22 gapps.

I get everything working and when I reboot the phone halo disappears and never comes back. It I taggle phone UI mode halo will come back, but if I click or move it, it disappears and never comes back.

If I factory reset the phone it works again until I reboot.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Did you enable the setting to hide after inactivity? If so turn it off.

No help. That's the first thing I tried to toggle.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Just figured this out too. Thanks. Its working fine now. I read this after an long process of elimination :(

I normally have these three things off because my phone is so laggy. I finally turned off encryption and dont use expanded desktop on select apps anymore. I run expanded desktop 100% of the time now.

Having PA reload the launcher when switch apps makes for a laggy experience on the gnex. The Nexus 4 might do a better job in that department.

Thanks again. I hope this helps others.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
I noticed on 3.56 sometimes the launchers gets choppy with Halo active. If I dismiss Halo, it's butter again. I noticed sometimes when I have a floating window and the keyboard is shown with Halo, it seems equally choppy. If I then dismiss the keyboard, it's smooth within this floating window.

I noticed with JB if I use certain overlay apps (before I even got serious with PA and mostly ran AOSP stuff), recents would be choppy.

Button Savior is one of those such overlay apps.

Goo is just terrible lately, I get that their stuff is free for devs but I'm currently looking at literally 10 hours to download the ROM zip and 8 for GApps at a whopping 4.1KB/s each. It's just unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Yep, I'm sorry but when they say things like "Please consider helping with goo's server costs and enjoy priority downloads and no-wait pages for life!" and then it takes 9hrs to download a 154mb file! That is just plane ridiculous. I know alot of people have been telling me that they started small and did not expect it to blow up but seriously, if they want to ask for donations then they should accommodate the users with something worth donating too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
Ugh! I did donate and it's a donation I regret cause it doesn't seem to have gone to a good cause. My speeds are atrocious
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Seriously wish there was a decent mirror for the updates, it's not like this is the first time goo.im messed up, I figure it would just be easier for maintainers to just add the mirror just in case.

Anybody know the what's different in the second 5/26 build?

Long time cm user.

This ROM seems rad because halo makes it so I can go full screen and not need the status bar.

Curious about a few things.

Does it have that stock swiping keyboard?

Can halo do calendar notifications too?

What are those stock hacked gapps? Are there limitations to that? No updates?

In the OP it says dont restore system apps. Does that mean the setup wizard restore?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elliot2112:
can someone tell me if im doing something wrong or if halo is not working right? im running the latest may 26 build. if i hide halo it wont comeback with a new notification. right now i have hide halo unticked and reverse halo unticked. the only thing i can do with halo is tap it and it goes into the app as it should, but are there more gestures to do more things? double tap or swiping it does nothing. i can only tap it to go to the app or i can just drag it around. im guessing theres more to it right? at least it seems there is because of the reverse halo option right? if you have multiple notifications arent you suppose to be able to cycle through them? some help on this would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmileti:
Download the halo app from market. Then pin the apps you want to work with halo, press start and that should help you out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droidlovinyogi:
Thanks! That's fantastic! I look forward to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Has anyone experienced choppyness in the launcher? The only way I have found a way to fix it is by turning off halo or restarting.

When I say turn off Halo I mean dismiss it. If I summon Halo again, the choppyness returns.

However, in the latest build I have seen it magically fix itself without restarting.

The choppyness seems to happen after a few hours.

The second issue I have is sometimes when I click Halo it doesn't multitask in the current window. It jumps back to the launcher. I found this to happen too when I allow a superuser permission it jumps to a random place like the settings screen instead of jumping back to the requesting app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droidlovinyogi:
PA users that use Kroz Hue themes, who have had to install an alternative MMS app to avoid the black text on black background that occurs with the native PA MMS app. Here is the PA MMS app fixed to accept Kroz Hue theme (it may also work for other dark themes, but I don't know; I use Kroz Hue themes so I can vouch that it works).

I can confirm that this MMS accepts Kroz Hue theme on Toro PA 3.56 5/26 build, works exactly as it should as overlay and doesn't close the foreground app:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41896715&postcount=2159

Make sure to hit that thanks button for MrDSL who fixed the app, prepared and posted the zip.

Also if you haven't already done so, check out Kroz Hue themes. He's a master themer that puts out amazingly beautiful themes in a range of colors!

Apparently for the next build of PA the MMS app is fixed to accept themes. You can use this one until it drops.
