Hi Everyone,

I had been running an older version of PA from September/October last year (can't recall the version right now) and I decided to update to the latest build mainly due to a screen responsiveness bug while playing graphic intensive games. I did the usuall nandroid backup with CWMR then proceeded to reset/install PA 2.99/wipe cache/wipe Dalvik. I rebooted the system and was greeted by the normal "X" Nexus boot logo, not the PA boot logo and then a nice bootloop. I hard reset and it booted normally. Setup went normally. I then attempted to restore my apps/data and was greeted with a horrible surprise. All of my sdcard contents have been moved into a /0 folder within the new "sdcard". I attempted to copy the backup data out of the /0 folder with both ES File Explorer on device and externally with a PC to no avail. I guess I'm resigned to the fact that I'll be starting fresh on this one (which isn't the end of the world). Any pointers on this so I can recover my app data? Mainly game progress that wasn't stored on the cloud.

One HUGE annoying matter, though, ( and it may seem minor to some of you) is that I can't for the life of me find the custom launcher settings for Trebuchet (or whatever the baked in launcher is) as I found it before in the previous version I was running. I HATE HATE HATE the dock and I'm trying to get rid of it. I could have sworn that the settings to change that were either in the launcher settings or due to a change in the DPI/Layout in PA Settings. I thought all I did before was change all of the layouts to Tablet and it reverted back to the regular

"app button in the upper right corner" layout. That didn't work this time and the only way I can figure out how to get around it is to install Nova. I was happy with the stock launcher before as I really didn't care for all of the customizations of Nova, althought they are nice!

Any help on this one? Am I just not setting the Hybrid Settings correctly?

Oy....

Make sure your recovery is current. Older recovery won't work right with the new filesystem structure, which changed to support multi-user. Do that before anything else. If you're using goo manager, just have it download a new recovery image. It'll install TWRP.

The /0 folder is normal, but you shouldn't see it (unless you go hunting for it). What shows up as internal memory to the user is the /n folder associated with that user. The first user is /0. This caused some consternation at first. So install a current recovery before anything else.

After you get a current recovery, make sure you have and flash the latest PA build (http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/grouper/pa_grouper-2.99-12JAN2013-130920.zip) and the latest PA gapps (http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps). I don't remember if there's anything else you need to do - it's been a while since people were having this problem, and I never did.

The launcher is the stock launcher. PA shifted from being CM based to AOSP based, so most of the CM-specific stuff went away for now including Trebuchet. I like Nova, myself, but others are equally pleased with Apex. You can even install Trebuchet if you want to.

I don't like the dock either. Some do, but I think that by default it's ugly and pointless when you have a multi-screen launcher. If you're using Nova then hide it. Nova also lets you set it to work as an overlay, which IMO makes the dock kind-of acceptable. But here's something to note, and it's the one useful thing I've found for the dock: Shortcuts that don't launch apps. One of the things that Google changed was how automatic brightness worked. I've never liked it, but now it's even dumber than it was before. I use RootDim to control brightness, and I added the RootDim brightness level shortcuts to the dock. Tie the cycle-dock Nova action to a gesture, and it's easy-peasy to change the brightness.

Note also that there is a PA app (a key, really) in the appstore that unlocks some features in Hybrid Settings. And speaking of settings, if you go into settings and tap 7 times on the build number in the "About" dialog, you'll get the developer options. I like to change the window animation scale and the transition animation scale to .5, which makes the interface seem much snappier.

Lastly, it's not in any way essential, but modded kernels work well with AOSPA. I like M-Kernel, but others have gotten good results with Trinity, Motley's kernel, Bricked, and others. Trickster MOD is a favorite for tweaking kernel settings.

I'm not a fan how PA handles the app switcher button, is there a way to change it? I keep double tapping and clearing all my recent apps.

wondering if anyone has the same issue: the status bar icons would revert back to stock colors in the lockscreen. I have no app with separate colors (eg: they're all using the global colors which i have changed to white). In the lockscreen, they're stock blue. only after unlocking do they turn white.

I'm using tablet layout.

Other than that it seems to be working fine! Thanks for the awesome rom!

You cant fix the scaner..it always scans when you install new rom..but you can trick him ..that is what i do..just delete .thumbnails folder in dcim and create fast a file with same name and ser to read only and it want be able to recreate..and that saved me 1 gb off space witch was size of that folder.

I'm guessing you would have to toggle the expanded view so you can use the Google now. But it wouldn't bother me switching just to use Google now or see notification. I would simply use it for games that i play on expanded, allowing me to go back to home quicker than toggling expanded view and maybe for other things :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CrimsonVelos:
I've been using Paranoid Android almost exclusively since I've had my Nexus 7. I love the rom and though I only used the cm based version for a short time, I agree with the move to AOSP. The AOSPA team has done a great job and I want to thank them for their hard work.

I'm currently running the beta 9.9 Jan version with m_kernel a28. I also get a fc in the YouTube app while using headphones when I first try to raise volume. The only other problem I noticed was the lack of a mount usb storage option under settings>storage. I had the option in the previous beta 9.9 version. I did a clean install twice and still don't see the option.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] adroidx:
Dave, thank you very much for your response. I did download the latest build of PA as well as the latest GAPPS. The odd thing is I didn't see the /0 folder first time I flashed the lastest PA build. In my frustration with the new PA build and dock etc, I rebooted into recovery in an attempt to recover to my previous setup while I read more. It was a frustrating surprise to find out my recovery wouldn't work. So, I reflashed the same PA build IAW the instructions to get back to a working Nexus 7. Now I can see the /0 folder and all of the contents within the /0 folder appear to be locked down. In otherwords, I can't seem to copy anything off of them. The first time I flashed the latest PA, I was able to get ROM Manager Pro to see the backups of the app data I had so I can only assume I didn't have the same /0 problem.

I think my next course of action will be to flash back to the stock 4.2.1 build. Then I'll flash PA/Gapps from anew.

What do you think?

EDIT: I understand my issue is because I haven't updated to the latest TWRP or CWMR releases. I'll do that first and see how everything goes. I still don't understand why the contents of my /0 folder can't be copied, though, from on the device or from a PC.

Very buggy. Tablet completely freezes up when opening up the keyboard or sometimes Google now, or any app for that matter.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Grizzly6117:
Well I don't know what your doing cause I don't get any freazing or problems and most people don't. Did you clean install, always clean install before saying a ROM doesn't work. Did you add anything to the installation, like a kernel or mod etc.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
I don't have any of those issues while opening the keyboard or Google now. As a matter of fact I don't have any freezes/lag/stutter/issues at all on beta 1/12 9.9.

Wipe/Reflash maybe? If you haven't already.

Just curious, I have lk and PA on my gnex, are they compatible?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Grizzly6117:
Edit: LK is compatible only with a stock based ROM , as the OP on the thread warns you about, and PA uses AOSP as base so I recommend using a different kernel as I've know LK was problematic for me as well. I use the motley kernel and is smooth and fast for me.

Right I'm asking this again because I'm tired of searching :P

Does ANYONE have a fully working Gallery with Picasa Sync? Mine syncs to and from Picasa just fine, but when trying to use Picasa photos for ANYTHING (setting profile picture, sharing picture in an app, editing the photo in the gallery, etc.), the gallery force closes. The only thing I can do is view the photos.

I can't even find the gallery taken directly from the stock rom :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Grizzly6117:
Mine works fine, any photos from picasa don't cause any problems for me when editing or setting wallpaper, are you using the latest gapps from the OP?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TigTigerTig:
Yep, positive. I might just have to do a clean install but I reaalllllyyyy don't want to. :L

How long has yours been totally working for can I ask?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Grizzly6117:
Only since latest 2013 gapps from OP, had the same problem before that though :(

Edit: though I always do full clean install for every release of PA to make sure I don't have any problems that shouldn't be there

Hope you can read this instead of adding more replies lol, I'm running latest TWRP as clockwork mod did give me problems every one in a while for some reason, also I like TWRP :D

I'm totally lost then. Right, clean install it is then.

Yes you need Pro, but only for the BETA builds. It'll be released for everyone in the full builds.

Edit :Already loving it, I like how the button are relevant to the placement of your finger from the bottom of the screen, so if I swipe up a little to the left from centre I'll be on home and same with recent but on the right. Also hovering your finger on the button doesn't select the buttons but rather where your finger is horizontally on the bottom of the screen which I actually prefer

Thank you, now if only there was a way to quickly swipe up the notification panel and it would be flawless, say from the side or corner of the screen maybe?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] gokart2:
Found a couple little things with the last beta, not sure if it'll be in the new release as I'm DL'ing now. First I was playing NFS with expanded mode on, and when the battery was low enough to shut off it had trouble with shutting down the running apps, which was only the NFS game. The screen was flashing on and off between the ea screen and a blank sytemui screen. Did it for about 30 seconds before it eventually shut off. Seemed weird and never seen anything like it on any device before. AND....after charging and rebooting, I turned expanded desktop off and none of the button color preferences will go to what I originally had. Wiping caches and rebooting does nothing, the original grey color is all it can do.

Yes, thanks I know it, but since I'm not using the stock launcher it's not an issue to me as I stated before, I just confirm the issue ;)

With the stock launcher right? Because I didn't have any issue on Nova (on homescreen and lockscreen)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] n0need4introductions:
I had the same problem, fixed it just by updating the recovery (mine is TWRP) and after that just booted in recovery>restore, and then your backup should be visible.

I know that's the work around but that was fixed in the moles 12 Jan build, including the issue adding lock screen widgets
