Because when people spend $600 on a phone they shouldn't have to wait half a year after a new version of android is released to get it upgraded.

It should also be supported for more than a year.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blucmal:
Again blame the oems Google provide the source its up to the oem to get it to work on there hardware. But I agree I have a acer a500 wich will not see any more official updates and I have not even had it 12 months. From new. Which I think is why google is getting more into hardware like nexus tablets. I think oems are using hit and run were each new version of android is used as marketing to sell a new device hope google support their devices better than other manufacturers.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p-slim:
For this you blame Google when source is released very shortly after any software announcement? Lmao
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veroby:
Just an observation from the fence. Read, there are many flashers having problems since release of 4.2.

I have been flashing with the htc one x. Chasing hack software because hboot is s off. Unofficial updates to firmware fix one problem and bring many more. Personally I have stopped flashing and have decided to live with the wifi hogging bug until official release. High temperatures to hardware tell me it is not good. It concerns me the same problems pop up in one update on the nexus product.

You claim to have zero problems perhaps because you are careful. I do not think flashing is to difficult a process with all the information out there. So unless you haven,t read a forum you must be in denial.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p-slim:
I feel sorry for the pa team, I feel like you have all the whiners in your thread. After a while you just have to block out the idiot comments and complaints. Half don't have anything to do with the rom, and the other half of people haven't donated a penny, smh.

Sorry i did not mean to offend. I just wanted to know how other people thought of what i was reading in the forums..Again sorry.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blucmal:
I said I have zero issue with bluetooth wifi and bookmark sync these are functions I use and rely on in the rom. Because I use it to surf the net. Bluetooth I only use for my headset as I listen to music while surfing. I also said I have never bricked a device, which is true i have had roms that wont boot but imo bricked is when adb or apx mode is needed to bring a device back to life. A lot of the time caused when incompatable kernals and dirty flashing is done. If you read my post I also said no rom is perfect. But compared to my a500 the nexus works like a dream :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PATRICKismyHERO:
Wow this 2.99 / 4.2 update really messed things up on my N7.

My Titanium didn't even work, now I have to do everything manually again. I like the new look of 4.2 though.

EDIT: Just discovered that my Titanium Backup folder was moved into the /0/0 folder section, as with all of my other stuff. Decided to move it back and the Backup went smooth as butter. Will update on any apps that experiences any error on 4.2 through this method.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blucmal:
Google doing this on purpose is ludacrious. What could they possibly gain by that do you think they want their product to fail so they can watch all their mony and time they have invested in android go down the gurgler. ?

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

All new major releases have bugs that get fixed on all platforms in all operating systems and 4.2 will be no different bugs will get fixed :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veroby:
My nexus is a dream on 4.1. I wanted to update to 4.2 and give paranoid android a go because it seems to be the one and just because that's what you do. But couldn't help but notice a lot of problems out there. Not just here but on all the updated roms. Glad to here these do not affect everyone.:good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blucmal:
Think a lot of the problem is this update broke a lot of apps as well and devs are working to get things working again 4.1.2 was a great rom and butter smooth but things keep moving forward. Also a new bootloader came with 4.2 maybe there are some problems there dont know im not a dev. But i have had zero major probs with 4.2 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veroby:
I don't want to get in trouble and this will be my last word on it. Ask your self, why would the largest company in the world by market cap release the same phone twice. Introduce another phone calling it 5, have a longer screen but the apps come out the same size as 4. Not losing customers but making customers get lost while navigating. Leaving out nfc and sticking with an arduous OP that is clearly outdated or not updated. If you wanted your company to drop so far $180 are these decisions you would be making! Tin Hat......Watch Nokia take off.....Sharing the lv. Bugs will help windows.

To squeeze every last cent out of product/consumer :) but what does apple have to do with 4.2 having bugs?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] capez:
Hi all. I have a problem: i installed the latest paranoid android (with android 4.2) and i got a sort of bootloop, in which there is the screen that flashes, instantly passing from max brightness to min.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Again, its not googles responsibility to support every freaking phone made...that is up to the OEMS...if you don't understand that...you don't understand open source, or you want Google to operate like Apple.

I am happy to say that I have had zero issues, not a single issue thus far. I'm trying to think if I did anything special.

I backed up anything important and moved it to my PC and then wiped SD....booted back up, pit the PA ROM and gapps on the SD card and then wiped everything...system, data and factory reset. Flashed and profit.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blucmal:
Wondering, people having trouble what version bootloader do you have? Only thing I can think I did that others have not mentioned is I flashed the new bootloader before I flashed this rom. Bout the only bug I have is screen brightness fluctuations but that is also in stock 4.2.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Knightsofwar210:
Does anyone else here miss some of the CM features? Like the theme chooser?

That's great :banghead: pa is no longer built off of cyanogenmod
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Seriously I am having trouble UNDERSTANDING why are people flooding the thread with complaints and moans about 2.99. What part of the "BETA" ROM did you not understand? Every single bug has been described, and everyone should know what risks and nuisances to expect when flashing it. You are all adults thus you flash at your own risk, and you should at least know in advance the bugs, and the concept of a "BETA" ROM.

I myself for example have stayed at 2.54, running smoothly and OK, and will only flash when PA 3.0 comes as a stable version. But If I had flashed 2.99 I wouldn't be moaning and groaning here about it.

We can only thank the developers for their dedication and hard work!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aaronpoweruser:
beta 2 is up sorry feel asleep last night try these gapps http://www.mediafire.com/?n775xw7qthh928c

report bugs here https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/ParanoidAndroid_bugs/issues?state=open

change log coming in a few but fixes are fixes
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leoniedelt:
I think my FCs were related to the gapps. I got the latest one, plus 2.99, reset everything (except user area, didn't wipe that this time) and flashed again. Whatever caused the hybrid settings to FC last time isn't doing bit this time.

Many many kind thanks again to the developers. Happy thanksgiving guys x
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SwiftLegend:
Then complain about the OEM, not Google. When Google says an upgrade is coming out, it comes out. When Moto says an upgrade is coming, it's either pushed back or not ever mentioned again.

You can't complain to the farm/distributor that the restaurant doesn't have chicken, when the restaurant just isn't cooking it (kinda lame). Same goes here, Google's providing the chicken, the restaurant (OEM) just ain't cookin'.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:

Can't wait to try out BETA 2. Thanks Paranoid Android team!

It might be a good idea to change the instructions at the start of the thread to link to the new gapps. The old instructions still point users to download the latest from goo which don't work on 4.2
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p-slim:
My 32gb Nexus will not install this, I keep getting symlinks failed. Is this a bad download?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gbohm:
old recovery? try to update it and install again. check your download with md5 but shouldn't be the reason
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p-slim:
Actually it's a brand new recovery now that I think about. I got prompted to update cwmr, I will downgrade and see if that helps. Thanks for the idea

Edit: worked perfectly after downgrade
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
...and another bad upload (gapps)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrDrift42:
Worked fine here. Must be a bad download. Beta 2 running great with calendar fix gapps posted above.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gbohm:
yeah that symlink stuff is usually a recovery thing.

usually an old one (seems logical) but well you saw the problem now :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] najaboy:
It didn't mess anything up. Had you done your homework, you'd have known that the directory structure changed under 4.2 to support multiple users and that you needed to point TiBu to the correct path. Instead, you flashed blindly and then got befuddled by the OS doing exactly as it should. For future reference, all you should have done to fix TiBu is point the app to the correct directory rather than moving directories around. If you moved other folders as well, you may have unintentionally broken some other apps.

I hate to seem harsh, but it needs to be borne in mind that you probably should refrain from flashing beta software if you don't have a firm grasp of what you're doing. It's enough for devs to track and fix legitimate bugs, we don't need to waste their time with issues that are 100% user error.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aaronpoweruser:
You mean like this

I thought about it a while ago . its no where near ready expect in pa 3.2 at the earliest but it works just needs tweaking . you got caught in our morfic field

[Nexus 7 Original Development] p-slim:
You failed to read only 4 post before yours. I had the exact same problem and it was because I had upgraded to the new cwm recovery. If you go back to 6.0.2 instead of the new 6.0.9 it will work

Maybe a stupid question - will be there CM features?

I know the base had changed but I really miss all the features which are now missing in the settings.....

No tablet UI, no CM tweaks....- I am affraid that its gonna sucks as much as the stock one if its gone forever :(

Or did I missed something?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VoluntaryMan:
Yes, some CM features will be added but they probably won't be until cyanogenmod 10.1 is available.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dSlice:
Got it to work, for some reason mounting the system in TWRP causes a failed install.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] yankele:
Hey guys, I just flashed beta 2 with the good gapps but I'm missing the email app. Was that expected or known on beta2? And if so does anyone has the apk? Other than that ROM is running flawlessly!

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
I don't usually chime in with "me too" but I think this deserves reinforcement. The stock N7 works as advertised. I had zero failures or unexpected behavior running stock. Folks talking about problems in the xda forums are a hugely unrepresentative sample for reasons that are perfectly obvious.

Custom ROMs and kernels are another story. Bugs and other issues are the price you pay when you play with those.

Talking about the deliberate introduction or acceptance of significant flaws is beyond nuts, it's insulting. The developers working up the code are professionals, and there must be a flaw mitigation effort that runs right alongside the development effort. To suggest that all these people are malicious is definitely "tinfoil helmet territory".

I am on pa 2.54 , should I flash the new beta version or wait for 3.0
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mike02z:
I have been flashing multiple devices in the last day but I believe the version of gapps I linked to above may be missing the stock Google email application. You can find that in this post. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30411832&postcount=2

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Apocalypse487:
Wait for 3.0
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
My opinion is flash the beta.... Nothing about this release screams beta to me, I would never have known it was a beta if it wasn't stated. I'm loving it.

Plus you can always go back if you don't dig.

Email is an AOSP app, not a Google app. It should be in the ROM. Technicality, but there ya go. Either way it was missing.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] sean.trinidade:
You can use a file explorer or there are various apps in the Play like ROM Manager or System Tuner
[Nexus 7 Original Development] krazeecracker:
Someone should just upload a stock build.prop for use until this gets fixed?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
Angry Birds star wars not being compatible is a mistake by Rovio, it says not compatible on a stock Nexus 7 as well.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
Its never usually in gapps anyway as its available from the Play Store, the first 4.2 gapps that was posted for PA contained a lot of apps that didn't really need to be there because they could be downloaded easily from the store.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
You can still install it from the play store.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
What are you talking about? Angry birds works fine on stock n7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
The game was updated on the 19th of November and its now listed as incompatible with the Nexus 7. Doesn't mean that it doesn't work, if you installed it before the update the old version will still work but you won't get the option to update. You can't install the free version at the moment on a Nexus 7 from the Play Store, it'll be fixed soon I'm sure.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
They've already said that they will be including the CM Theme engine http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33670193&postcount=16174, but seeing as cyanogenmod 4.2 doesn't even exist yet it can hardly be expected to be present in PA yet. Leaving CM doesn't mean that cyanogenmod features can't be added, they definitely will, its based off aosp itself anyway.

Any CM10 themes would need to be updated before they can be used on a 4.2 ROM because of the changes to notification bars and quick settings. If you're missing themes a lot head back to the previous version of PA or CM10 and wait a little bit, there aren't any 4.2 ROMs available that work with the theme engine anyway.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Thanks.... I'm aware that there aren't many 4.2 Roms that work with themes.... I knew before flashing 2.99 that I wasn't going to be able to use my themes. I honestly much rather try the new updates, see what's new, play around, etc.. than use themes right now. I can use the themes I have on my other phones, but they look better on the N7 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PATRICKismyHERO:
Just wanted to point something out in the new beta 2.

In beta 1 the recent apps windows were small, not sure if this is part of 4.2 or PA. But beta 2 restored the Windows to their original size from 4.1.2, which is fine, but if you look closely at the animation it looks as if it wants to go to the small size from beta 1 but is forced to restore its size from 4.1.2, I'm not making much sense but I'm sure some people know what I'm talking about.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] najaboy:
It has absolutely nothing to do with the switch to aosp.

I got the same issue - clean wipe and flash the beta2 + gapps-jb-20121011-signed and upon first boot, all sort of gapps force closed error and not able to do setup wizard.

Isn't this the 4.2 ROM, so perhaps we should try flashing the 4.2 gapps instead of gapps-jb?
