PA Colors- Automatic Color per App Settings

Hello, I'm kind of new here in XDA, but I've been using this ROM for the Nexus 7 for a long time now. I just have a suggestion(not a complaint) But I don't really know if it could be in any way feasible.

At the moment You enable the PA Automatic Colors per App the navigation and notification bars change colors, and that is awesome! :) I mean just look at these screenshots:

or

But, when you decide to Edit some text, which brings up the keyboard, or maybe just pull down the notifications bar. This is what happens:

And

This just takes off the beauty of it all right? I mean, why bother making App Colors changeable if the input applications that overlay on them will screw everything left of beauty up. Yes, I know, you could just enable Pie, and the notification and the everything wouldn't be that bad. The question is, is it possible to maybe for the dev team to look at this a little bit more? how could it be solved? I am interested in building PA from source myself, but I cannot figure out how to change the color of the notif bar when it's pulled down, nor the color of the default keyboard. I'm sure the source is out there, and there should be a way around this but I just don't have the sufficient amount of knowledge to solve this myself that's why I wanted to ask as a petition for the developers :) Thank you for all your great work.

I used goo.im to download the rom and gapps today and got a decent download speed between 750-1500 KB/sec. Yesterday I had 100k/sec and it would download for 5 minutes then stop.

Hello, so I tried to connect my Bluetooth keyboard today and my Nexus 7doesnteven see it. Then I did a search and found out there is some kind of bug with the Bluetooth...

Is there a way that I can get this working?

[MENTION=2820613]funkpod[/MENTION] Yes, sir.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AGx-07_162:
I've experienced a good number of the problems others have reported here but none so breaking as not being able to access the directories of my storage (not the ROOT ones either). I've gotten used to having to go in to the \0 directory to find things but since flashing this I cant even find that.

What I'm getting is this: Internal Storage\Android\obb\

I can't find my downloads folders, backup folders, music, DCIM, nothing. It's there because if I mount I can browse to it through my PC but I can't access it at all in any of the Android explorers I've tried. I couldn't even find the download folder where I downloaded this ROM to so I could re-flash, it doesn't show up in recovery either. Thankfully I had a Nandroid to revert to and I'll give it a go again because I'm really enjoying Halo.

A word to the wi... To those who complain:

Logs, or it didn't happen. Straight up complaining doesn't help anyone.

An analogy I like to use is this: I can go into am auto repair shop and complain all day about how my car wont start. Due to his like of knowledge on my situation, the mechanic is essentially unable to truly diagnose my (cars) problem until I give him details that potentially give him a way to truly know what led up to my car not starting. What happens after that? If the problem isn't too serious, he will be able to successfully fix my car. Moral of the store? Help us, help you.

are there any mirrors for paranoid android because I've been trying for days to download from goo.. It gets so far then stops. Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MBQ_:
Mirrors are generally looked down in the Android community.

Unless the OP specifically verifies that mirrors are okay, I wouldn't ask for any, regardless of the situation.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lbroksle:
Read back a few pages and you will find a mirror link.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keion:
Wow, that's really stupid. Some "community".

(B b but muh stats)

No. Most other filehosts provide download counts and I highly doubt anyone needs stupid download counts for anything more than bragging, and moreover, they aren't indicative of the number of users at all.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MBQ_:
Didn't get the (B b but muh stats) reference. Hahah;p

And yeah, I understand. Some devs, and I'm guilty of it, like to keep track of their download count(s), and it generally isn't a good idea to mirror something prior to asking.

However, you did make some good points man.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AGx-07_162:
I'll say this once and then leave it alone. The "logs or it didn't happen" thing is nice to say but isn't always applicable. I test software for a living and I've come to find that a lot of the issues that people report and always be found in logs, sometimes you have to take the information provided and attempt to reproduce the issue to discover the real problem. Example, the issue I reported with my directories not showing. What log is going to show how I have my directories laid out or why they aren't displaying in an explorer? Fact of the matter is any information is good information for the purposes of troubleshooting (unless it's false). I don't want to argue about this so you need not reply but what you said has been said before and will be said again and all it does is frustrate the people having the issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Are you using the current bootloader and recovery? TWRP or CWM?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MBQ_:
I actually completely understand what you mean from a developers point of view. The best experience is always going to be first hand. Because who knows? Maybe the aforementioned problem was an isolated incident. And if I ever have errors reported by users on my ROMs or apps, Ill always ask them to pull a log, and try to reproduce their error myself, on my device.

And I'm not looking to argue, its just a silly phone to be honest, but yeah. Most people would (try to) argue!

You made some solid points though man, and I'm definitely not going to argue with those who are right AND have first hand experience. :good:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keion:
Download counts really don't mean anything though. First because the hosts sometime crap out, and second, the android download manager is even worse. Example: I had to download PA 5 times (from different IPs too). That would show up as five downloads. I am not five people though (I'm pretty sure about that). I'd imagine this is the case for many people, with all the complaints about hosts I've been seeing.

Installed the latest release, and Faux123's kernel on top of it. Running like a charm (including Halo)! But I was wondering: if Halo can call a small window with another app on top of the main application, wouldn't it be possible to modify this to get a Cornerstone-like feature on Jelly Bean?

3.6 is brilliant HALO wise, it is now totally useable!

the performance is still horrid compared to cm10.1 though, even with franco's r999 which elevated my nexus to super techno levels! :D

EDIT: Also you know what would be really cool functionality? being able to open a link within halo when you click it say in facebook. for example clicking a youtube video someone has posted a link to on facebook could open it in halo instead of just opening the app :) i reckon it's near impossible to do though.

PA GApps - 0610 UPDATE

I have uploaded a new PA GApps.

This update contains only compatibility changes for legacy devices. If you have a Nexus device and are curently on the 0607 GApps there is NO need to flash this.​

IMPORTANT: There are no application updates since the 0607 version. The changes made were to accomodate legacy, non-Nexus devices that were experiencing compatibility issues with the Gallery and/or camera app. If you are not experiencing any problems with the 0607 version then flashing this will provide no benefit whatsoever.

I have also provided a mirror to help those having difficulty downloading from Goo. You can >> CLICK HERE << to download from MediaFire.

Hi, I've installed the last build of Paranoid. My problem is with Halo. I can't get that Halo works properly, it doesn't get my notifications until I drop Halo to the right.

I've configured the ROM in phone UI and stock UI and PIE on, but it doesn't work.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] eddiehk6:
you've asked this before in this very thread ;)

as with any 'best' questions...there is no need to ask them. try a few combinations and find out what works out for you, not what works best for someone else. flash a few different ones and test your own experience, that way you get the 'best' answer :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dictionary:
^^This is correct.

Sadly, all devices are different. On top of that, my use may vary from your use, as well as climate, proximity to WiFi, interference, etc. There are so many variables that really at the end of the day, comparing to someone else is useless. I know it can be a pain, but the beat way you'll ever find out what the best kernel for you is, is to flash them, and test each out for a couple of days before flashing a new one.

Sidenote: 3.6 is running amazing! First time in a long time I can run PA with absolutely no lagging. Don't know what changed if anything, but my n7 is happy. Great work.

Hi there paranoids,

1st thing 1st: 3.60 feels smooth as ****, after like 4 laggish builds (using stock, m-kernel and Franco)

That being said, I couldn't see any download notification from Halo, like when you DL smth from the browser as a zip, image etc..

Never done a clean install though, since the first aosp build I've always done a dirty flash..

Any ideas?

Edit: this is not a 3.60 issue: I've never had such notification on Halo..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bassie1995:
I think I had it somewhere (early Halo build), but it pinged constantly, as the notification gets updated constantly.

Annoying as **** :P.

MBQ mate so this is where you've hidden yourself, I remember you got a N7 and thought you must be hanging out somewhere :)

so... Hi, I am guessing this is your ROM of choice now?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] MBQ_:
(I feel so popular :p)

Frankly, I've never been a fan of PA. I'm quite astonished at the fact someone would disrespect (even potentially inadvertently) such an amazing dev team that PA has by mentioning and suggesting the use of another ROM in a different ROMs thread. Its blatantly disrespectful and greatly looked down upon in this community.

With that said, I just flashed DHOs Commotio B52 ROM. That ROM is more my style. However, I have nothing but the utmost respect for ParanoidAndroid, and the team, or teams, that are involved.

Oh, and I don't post very often in the N7 thread. Maybe I should chime in more often..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Honestly, not bashing this ROM or the team but I have never really used PA ROMs either. This though I had to try, and its AWESOME. Its been a while since I've used PA and the colors with halo, not to mention pie ands the hybrid engine this ROM is actually the coolest thing feature wise I've used in a while

I'm big on using ROMs with original features and I am liking this so far. I haven't even got a custom kernel loaded on it yet :P

hold the power button till the menu appears and disable pie (I'm assuming it is enabled), now pull down from the top and you can tap and enable halo.

also go into settings and adjust Pie size etc under Toolbars.

Hope it helps :)

By legacy do you mean non neon? I have PA 2 on my photon and an even older gapps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TKruzze:
Not quite sure what you're asking.

Prior versions of our GApps were overwriting the gallery app on all ROM's. This change leaves the Gallery and camera app untouched on all devices except those that natively support the photosphere camera - which is how it should have been done in the first place.

As PA has grown to support more than just Nexus devices, we've made the GApps more universal as well.

So I finally updated to 3.6 from 3.15, and I'm sorry to say but HALO wasn't working out for me.

While playing a game I got a notification, but the HALO still remained hidden. When I pulled it out, it was still the empty blue colour, only when I swiped to the side did I see me notification. And it didn't launch the app in a windowed interface, it opened the app full screen. When I returned to my game, it slowed down, a bit of lag.

At the moment I disabled HALO but will give it another go if I can figure out what's wrong. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JaZart:
Strange, try rebooting and reenabling halo.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
If rebooting doesn't fix it, you might want to clean flash. 3.15 to 3.6 is quite a bug jump.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] arophie:
Has anyone else tried the 3.15 to 3.6 jump without clean flash with any success? Ive been contemplating it for a few days. How big of a risk would it really be?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Why not just make a backup and do a clean flash, test it out... Then restore your backup and dirty flash to see what happens. That should give you a good idea if a dirty flash is ok or not.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] arophie:
Hm thats actually a good idea...but if I do that much work I might as well backup and do a fresh install for halo. Thanks for the input. Do you guys know if the app Carbon (now Helium) is the same as a nandroid, or how it compares to Titanium when restoring data for PA?

First I want to thank the dev team for this great ROM. I'm loving it.

I'm having a difficult time finding a way to configure Halo, add apps, move the Halo floating icon, dis/enable Halo to name a few.

1. How do I configure Halo to always have certain apps there.

2. For the life of me, I can't seem to drag the Halo icon to move it.

3. Once I enable Halo, there is no way to disable it.

Otherwise this ROM is so smooth and I'm running 3.6 with stock kernel but am using Nova Launcher.

Just a quick report.

I gave HALO another try as it previously caused lag on my tablet. Re-enabling it again caused lag, and disabling it returned performance back to normal. In addition, removing HALO caused a system UI FC, twice.

Can anyone reproduce (or has experienced) a system UI FC by disabling HALO in tablet (mid) mode. If not the problem may be unique to my situation.
