Nobody really asked about it in the last 10 pages, but is the status bar and nav bar transparency feature still not working properly as of r5? I did a clean install today, and everything looks pretty darn good except transparency. Every once in a while, I can get the status bar to be transparent (sporadically). However, the nav bar never offered any transparency whatsoever. I've tried this on both stock UI and phablet UI. I'll give Tablet UI a swing too, but I've had no success so far.

PS. I can get the status and nav bar to change to any opaque color, but any transparency does not show up. I used 3c000000 in case anyone was wondering.

Also, where can I find the circle battery w/ percentage option? I'm failing to find many of the old features that I miss and appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimson12:
I'll try out the zip later tomorrow after work and see how it goes. I know other roms have the functionality to change that quickly, but PA has always been a favorite of mine, so I'd rather stick around if possible. Thanks for the answer though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpjunior999:
So Display Rotation is still broken? That's too bad, hope it gets fixed for next release. Hopefully it doesn't still put all my calls to speaker too. Anybody know a good app to control rotation? Tasker doesn't seem to work but I can apparently disable it in Nova Launcher.

2.99.9r5 Update posted - Fixed Torch app

Minor update to 2.99.9r5 posted to OP (back to goo)

Adds a few recent commits and fixes the Torch app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerV:
Ultimate rotation control
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deenice:
I spoke too soon about no restore. Right after installing this version, restore worked fine.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmonjay:
Dirty flashed over other 2.99.9r5 from yesterday and everything works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
So to summarize bugs and/or missing features from the past:

1. Nav and status bar transparency broken

2. Home screen rotation (other rotations work)

3. Circle battery with %

4. Close all apps does not close ALL apps.

I am not complaining about the rom, but just trying g to summarize what I've noticed thus far. Great ROM so far tho. Daily driver worthy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyjohn:
Well im on 2.99.9r5 and transperancy works for both navbar and status on my homescreen and the close all apps is not a bug i remember reading in the maguro thread that moles and jesus said something about this implementation being better, it will close all apps but the one your using when you hit the recents while in recents view, if you want to close all apps just hit it twice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
Have you possibly messed up your charger or micro USB on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julio8a00:
The build is working great on my device, I am having none of these issues above. As stated on a previous post close all apps works fine on first tap second tap closes the last one (recent used app). :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaybob413:
1 - Conflict/carryover from old configuration? Seems to be working for others.

2 - Default Launcher does not rotate, so this is expected behavior.

3 - Not currently implemented. Intended for future release.

4 - By design, kill all should close all apps except the last/current.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
No issues here.

I love how people call things "bugs" just because something doesn't work how they want it to.

Great work PA team. Looking forward to a stable release even though this beta has no problem being my daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jays2Kings:
Since the same new gapps, I keep getting FC's in Google Now when I try to search with the camera. The G Now from a couple gapps back works fine, but just thought I should share.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
I call them bugs because they don't work like they did in previous versions of the ROM (or a majority of other Roms available). Addressing the kill all apps function, the former PA versions actually killed all apps, including the latest app. Either function works fine for me though.

Jaybob: regarding the carryover conflict for the transparency issue for me, how would I get rid of old settings to acquire transparency? I did a clean install from the op instructions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saber.srod:
Why is gapps bigger than the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfeman0101:
I tried searching this thread but I didn't see an answer.

Do you have to flash the gapps every time you update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpjunior999:
Oddly enough, after I put that on there, Goomanager told me there was an update for my ROM available. Rotation actually works perfectly now. Haven't had the chance to test the phone yet, but much happier now that I have some measure of control.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robwege:
this rom will be my daily driver once the text only battery mod is added back in. Anyone have a suggestion for an app that would mimic this? Looking for one that displays the battery text in the status bar and turns green when charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyjohn:
It has all google apps in there.

Yes

Just installed 9.5 and decided to use the custom kernel dax made based on trinity. Together they are running amazing on my gnex. Very smooth.

Sent from my AOSPA Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Look at it this way.. if I handed you a remote with a large red button and told you "this button will kill all of your enemies" but it kills all but the last one you saw you'd say it didn't work, right? It didn't kill ALL your enemies thus it would be a bug because it didn't work the way you wanted, or expected, it to. Once it was clarified, by the rom dev, that it is supposed to kill all of them except the last one you saw it would no longer be a bug and the expectation changes. To me that was a bug because, just leaving the EOS rom, their "kill all" feature kills ALL the apps with one touch so when this didn't, considering the feature shares the same name, it is an expectation that it will do the same thing.

I'm also not quite sure why it bothers you so much that people are reporting bugs or requesting features. While it may not be your intentions your tone is pretentious and if the devs are not offended or bothered by these statements there is no rational reason why you should be or why you should feel the need to comment on them unless you are providing some sort of support or guidance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmileti:
Well said!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyjohn:
Where can I find this kernel...thnx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt212308:
I am in the same boat as you. I updated to 2.99.9r5 and also flashed the gps.conf fix and ran today and Runtastic still shows that I run faster than cheetah. When I first started having the issue I flashed another rom and (I believe it was a 4.2 rom as well) and the GPS worked fine with Runtastic so I am not quite sure what could be going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramos247:
anyone have a mirror of the 20121231 gapps cuz the link in the op is having trouble
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
There is a thread with "Trinity" in the title. You should be able to find it there or http://derkernel.com/ is the dev's website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Here ya go. I think you may have to reflash PA in order to get stock kernel back if you are using trinity just in case this kernel has it's own ramdisk. If you are using any other kernel or if you are still on stock you can flash it without.

It is not a Trinity kernel so it would not be in the Trinity thread. I merely said it was somewhat based on trinity. Although it's there now just because I posted it for someone whom requested it. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yakitori2:
is this having the bluetooth disconnecting issues as with previous 4.2.1 roms? I gave up on 4.2.1 because I use bluetooth for music and phonecalls in my car, and they all kept disconnecting on me and reconnecting like every 5 minutes or so. Pretty annoying with a 30 minute drive every morning to have my phone disconnect from my head unit 6 times on the way to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Ha.. No coffee + just waking up + not reading correctly = MY BAD. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Lol, no big deal.

Sent from my AOSPA Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natef53:
I went back to 4.1 for a while because of bluetooth and rebooting issues. This has been rock solid for a while though. I had one random disconnect in 2 weeks (2+ hours a day in the car). I switched to the franco kernel 2 days ago and have not had any bluetooth drops or random reboots since then, for what its worth!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yakitori2:
I c. I had them happen constantly on 2.99 r1 and 2.99 r2...and havent even felt like trying a 4.2 rom since those.

I guess I can give it another shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerV:
Yeah android changed the whole bluetooth stack from broadcom to support bluetooth low power but now the bluetooth in 4.2.1 doesn't support all the old 4.1 features and depending on what your connecting to might not even work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yakitori2:
its connected before to my factory head unit in a 2010 camaro. It just periodically disconnects and its a pita
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
I am offering guidance. Just saying that 99% of errors are user error, or are not errors at all. Granted this is a beta ROM but nothing major is broken or else it would likely be in alpha stage. What I'm saying by that is, when flashing a ROM, if done correctly every time, things will work exactly how they are supposed to. In most cases in the android community, beta typically refers to the fact that not all features are added in. All of the basic android functions will work though.

I can also promise you that devs don't like to have people requesting this feature and that feature at all, let alone a day or two after they release an update.

Sorry if I seem pretentious, just being factual. I only post semi-sarcastic comments because it gets old seeing people post feature requests or false bug reporting. I bet this thread would have half the number of posts if people backed up, wiped and flashed just like they are supposed to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Saying "no issues here" would hardly be considered guidance if you ask me (but hey, I'm just some random guy on the internet). When members ask for certain features, it's a form of feedback. If enough people ask for a feature, then it's probably a feature worth looking into. At the end of the day, devs want more people to use and support their ROM. If your product provide the said features desired by many, the support and fan base will naturally come. To not appreciate the opinions of the consumer is one of the biggest mistakes of all.

Just to keep it on topic, what launcher (if any) do most of you guys use to achieve the transparency of the nav and status bars? Also, what color code are you using for both to achieve this? I'm using NextLauncher and have only achieved status bar transparency (no nav bar transparency, even on stock launcher).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
Nova or apex. Not sure what the hex is for transparency though.

This is not a launcher feature. It is done through the hybrid engine under interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbeezybaby:
#08000000 I believe does it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
This ROM + lean kernel and my phone is sleeping like a baby. Idle battery life seems amazing. Couldn't be happier with the performance of this ROM kernel combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
I noticed a few launchers I've used in the past simply did not support transparency settings whatsoever, so I figured there could be some kind of coding interfering with it.

Nonetheless, I'll need to try nova or apex then. Thanks for the prompt reply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enigmaisdead:
Anyone else having trouble loading Shopkick. Just installed 2.99.9r5 completely clean (as in, the only things that were on my phone when I flashed it were the ROM file, the Google Apps file, and the kernel file) and when I try to open Shopkick, it just hangs on a black screen. I've cleared the application's data and rebooted, both to no avail. The Google Apps installed are the ones from the OP and the kernel is leankernel 5.4exp2-230. Thanks in advance for any advice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
Nova was actually recently updated to better support nav and status bar transparency. They are really a horse a piece, but I suggest buying the full version of one or the other. Really allows you to fully customize your home screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
I actually have the exact same problem. It simply hangs on the black screen upon launch. I've also cleared cache and data, and reinstalled 3 times to no avail. I tried all that on the earlier r5 release, as well as the later r5 release. Nothing regarding shopkick is working for me at the moment. I was so close to another Target gift card too :(

update: I just can't get the nav bar to give me transparency even with apex or nova launcher... What is going on?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
I can reproduce this issue but I have a hard time believing this is ROM dependent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
I'm thing its the micro USB port. Its actually working better now I bent the port up with a tack and it slowly corrected itself x) thanks for the replay man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stastnysnipes26:
Hey, no problem. Unfortunately I have a feeling that fix won't work for long for you. Stuff like that usually helps at first but will eventually lead to it to stop working completely. Might want to think about contacting asurion. Might even get a gs3 out of it if you're lucky...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
I read on Lifehacker that many people have luck by cleaning the micro usb port with a sharpened toothpick. Lint typically works its way in there and the toothpick could dislodge it hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Battery seems to be dropping like a rock.

Ohleo - Look back a page or two for a post sk skusa93. He broke down what each meant for the kernel. That's how I figured it out.

I am using the 196 with 5%OC (overclock for processor) and 384? OC (for the gpu)

I was also havng the issue where I couldn't make calls due to the phone app crashing. I remembered moles giving instructions a few pages back and that fixed my problem. This community is awesome.

bill - which 196 kernel did you use? Basically I did a little FB and some texting today. Flashed to the new 1.5rc while at work and then fixed the issue with the phone. Tomorrow will be a more accurate test I think.

ETA- Ohleo I would have found you the post explaining the kernel but I'm running late to get back from lunch. If you can't find it I'll look if I get a chance later. It's within the last 2 or 3 pages.

Ohleo here you go. Here's the breakdown.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Thank you so much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
On the Franco kernel with the 1.5 cm9 one or whatever that you posted. Calibrated battery and its life is great so far. The speed of this kernel is great.

I was getting about 24 hours of battery life on 1.4 using the lean kernel. That life was great but I don't feel that that kernel performed to well. I guess that makes sense tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
I forgot that I had also been using the kindle app. That could been part of the drain too obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devator22:
Alright, I give up. Was running 1.4, everything was fine. Wiped, installed 1.5 regular(need GPS) reboot, installed gapps, installed Franco 196 linaro. Restored paranoid settings, reboot, went into settings for the first time, and paranoid settings force closes when I try to switch the mode. Also, is hybrid mode gone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthony92170:
didnt know if you if you heard but the nexus is getting updated to 4.1 (jelly bean) in mid july. i also have a apk for google play which is now 3.5.19 and if anybody wants i also have a working s-voice. with s-voice you may need to put apk in system before flashing or reflash. i got it to work with just installing .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Only on the regular build. Not the Linaro build...unless they fixed it since 1.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr4r4n:
rc1 better or newer to flash then nightly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Still waiting for the official version. This will tide me over until then. I figure if something goes wrong I can always flash back to the previous official.

Have you tried setting the colors back in pa settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Pretty sure that theme is not compatible with Beta 9 or 9.5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
Pretty sure its every theme including stock my friend. That just happened to be the theme I was on which was compatable on the previous paranoid android version. I just flashed the new update and it suddenly started happening
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
That's because besides a couple themes that were modded yesterday there are no themes compatible with any of the new betas. If that is the "Crystal CM10 Theme" then it is not compatible with any of the 2.99 betas, it has not been updated since the beginning of November which was before we even saw any AOSP PA. Aside from that little detail do you have the issue without any themes being used?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
Yes on regular system it still persists
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Did this just randomly happen right after you flashed r5? Did you flash the newer of the 2 r5's?

APPS

If you notice, your WiFi/signal bar and battery icon are solid and do not change, that is just one noticeable bug. There could be many under the hood issues that you can't see as well since that theme was last compatible with pa 2.54 which was still cm based. ;)

Fix for Status Icon colors bug

No doubt....

... yea that was my bad for not mentioning that, and it's fix. In order to correctly have the status bar icons appear as "normal" you have to play around with the AUTOMATIC COLOR option, or you'll have the icons set as "solid colors," as displayed in the screenshot below. Just turn the option off, then under STATUS ICON COLOR, select STOCK COLOR, then toggle AUTOMATIC COLOR back ON and hit APPLY(its a lot easier and quicker than it looks ;)).. EDITED: as you can see in the 2nd screenie posted below, the icons appear normal...

Thanks for all the previous replies about Shopkick. Anyone have any idea what may be causing it? Or any solutions I can try? It only appears to do it on this ROM (and on the newest versions) and no one on the Play Store has made any comments describing the issue, which leads me to believe it's not a 4.2.1 issue. :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
I flashed the newest beta, first time using paranoidandroid. For some reason, youtube is not working properly. When I open youtube it just keeps trying to reload and it says "This action isn't allowed". Does anyone know why this is happening? I have my phone in stock UI and PA colors.

Another question: Can anyone provide me details of their setups on their phone. I wanted to try paranoidandroid because I want to make my galaxy nexus more "flashy" give it more color and spice you know what I mean? haha. Just to make my nexus stand out more. This would be of great help with like screenshots or something. Thanks :good:

Anyone else notice a drop in signal? Feel like more often than not, I barely have any signal now on r5.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the258:
Same here. Little to no signal even outside.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I think that is a location issue or bad flash. My 4G and WiFi is perfect and has been on all 2.99 betas. Otherwise check your kernel, that might be a cause as well.

My phone does not seem to respond at all to GPS. When opening Maps, I get a notification that it will work better with GPS on, but the boxes are checked like it should be. The toggle is greyed out and unresponsive to touch.

Also, I cannot inject GPS data from my Car radio (Appradio 2, BT GPS injection). AppRadio App shows no GPS being injected and tells me to enable mock locations (which are enabled already!).

Can anyone shed some light as to whats going on? It's like the phone isn't even trying to receive GPS...
