Had a little play too

1. This doesn't happen to me on a clean install, I had to do one because even coming from stock 4.2 it wouldn't boot without a full wipe.

2. The bars are tiny because by default the UI is set to tablet ui rather than the stock Phablet ui. If you change it in hybrid settings they are back to normal.

3. I can't really see what's different? Does anyone know? All I could see was if you long hold an app in the recent you have a 'hybrid properties' option where you go directly to that apps hybrid dpi changing menu, which is nice (no more waiting for the app list to load up in paranoid settings)!

Gapps package works with 2.54?

I have the opposite question:

Can I flash the 4.2 gapps package (pa_gapps-4.2-20121117.zip) over 4.1.2 (PA 2.54) to get updated versions of Google apps, or some of then will only work with 4.2 base?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizgnome:
Checkout this thread - updated 4.2 apps for 4.1.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991734&page=20
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Thanks I have tried that one, I thought they are 2 different things: gapps package containing just pure apps, and the modded package you mentioned which has modded system level apps for 4.2 (like camera and photosphere) , or do they contain the same thing?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizgnome:
The modded package updates an existing 4.1 install of gapps to 4.2, replacing the 4.1 versions.

The complete package (elseware) is a complete install of the 4.2 gapps rather than updating 4.1 to 4.2 - not tried it but would probably work on a new install of the 2.5.4 PA Rom. - the update removes old versions with different names.

I have not run the update package, although I have manually installed the 4.2 gapps that are contained in it and they do not appear to cause any issues.

This way I got all the nice things in 4.2 without any of the bugs (I don't want to loose December).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Thought I would share my experience in case it's useful to other people here:

I had a nandroid backup of 2.54 so I took a shot and reinstalled 2.54 with the new 4.2 gapps, results: Google Play not willing to connect with server connection error, gmail doesn't start...so I did not even continue testing after this, I went back to recovery and right now recovering my 2.54 backup.

Is it normal for this ROM to wipe everything on the whole tab because it did :) also no email app is there a stock email app available for it. Runs very nice and no issues:)

I should probably have made it more clear. I'm coming from stock rooted 4.2. Going to try flashing it again and see what happens.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mslatter:
I "think" I flashed the latest CWM using ROM Manager - I'm going to have to research this more.... Here's the story so far:

I figured I'd do a backup in Recovery to see where it stored the backup...it references /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup...which is where all my old backups are. So I reboot and look at that location using ES Explorer, and only my original 4 backups are there - no new one. So I open ROM Manager, (6.0.1.9 I believe - don't have it with me now), and it shows all my old backups - but not the new one??!

So I boot back into recovery and go to restore, and all that's in there is the new backup I'd just done....none of my old backups.... weird. If I hadn't invested so much time int the other 4 backups, it wouldn't be an issue, but I really need those back! LOL Again, I guess more research is required - I'll post my findings for anyone else that may have this problem.

Thanks again.

Just tested and I don't have either of these issues from a clean install. Did you flash the correct gapps? You need to use the specific Paranoid Android 4.2 ones
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zipredictive:
I am not able to use the true tablet mode. The upper status bar is always there. I am not able to add widget to lock screen too; there is just the clock

Guys could someone helped me, i saw the update on the goo.im app on the morning and decided to update, I flashed the gapps from android 4.2 but im getting the gapss fc (unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped) error when booting and every now and then and my Mail app is missing (not the Gmail app but the general Mail app)

how can i fix these things?

Ill suggest you guys to wait....

[Nexus 7 Original Development] dSlice:
December is there for me...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
Yeah, I certainly wouldn't flash anything on my device without looking up the changes etc, I guess its more of a problem with Goo hosting because it will popup to all Paranoid Android users as an update so people who haven't looked at the thread may flash it as usual with the old gapps and run into plenty of problems. It may have been an idea simply to rename the new build as pa_grouper_2.99_BETA-EXPERIMENTALBUILD so that people wouldn't blindly update.

Edit: duh. Email is an aosp app, not a Google app. Should be in the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zipredictive:
Yea your right! I know it, but you know sometime people flash blindly... sometimes because people love to take small risks sometime because they never had a problem with a rom... and because of this change from 4.1.2 to 4.2 that is a pretty sensitive delicate or tricky change... I wanted to give an advice:

This is not the same flash you did before when everything was perfect out of the box

Same for me, the FC got fixed after I installed the gapps from http://www.mediafire.com/?7ol71rce9k80k3i thanks to @mslatter but I still dont have my Mail app

How do we flash it?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Apocalypse487:
I followed the OP. I always do a clean wipe, but I'm not sure whats going on. It's not a big deal. 95% of the stuff is in working order.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
I want to add that restoring apps from backup isn't a good idea either. Lots of fails, and you end up uninstalling and re-installing from the Play Store anyway. Oddly, and I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, on my N7 the Clock app fails at boot and again if you open it and go to settings or try to set an alarm. That one can't be uninstalled/re-installed, of course, so every boot I see "Unfortunately Clock has stopped" which is kind of zen, really.

I like the narrow, tablet-mode-size nav and status bars in phablet mode. I think you should keep them, though I really (really!) prefer true tablet mode.

Keep up the great work!

And many, many thanks,

Dave

Random FC on pretty much everything I have, titanium back up pro, batman, clock, gmail, FB, Email, Chrome, twitter, my god lol crash like theres no tomorrow!

I tried fix permission, did a clean install, nothing works. I guess there is a reason why its called beta.

I saw the comments above though, I can only hope the non beta version comes out soon :)

Reverting back to original version now.

Also, the wifi crashed twice while i was re-downloading all my apps n stuff from the store. And Launcher FC'ed twice.

I dont care! Its PA - i'm happy enough! :D

edited cos this stuff is fairly standard for me, i always re-install all my stuff rather than relying on crappy backups, and its no biggie, cos i'm used to symbian phones - 7 years of symbian crashing left right and centre. Now i have a meego phone and this android tablet, and the stability of these two platforms is such an improvement, i dont even mind a few FCs!

It's not technically disabled. It's still there, and kernels such as Faux will still allow them etc. The issue if that the apps that you would then use to access the usb device (stickymount, es file explorer, etc.) all need to be updated to use the new architecture.

I was able to access them even before unlocking and rooting when i had pure 4.1.2 stock.

I have this problem because of the PA ROM or the kernel?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kearkan:
A few points to make about a lot of common complaints I've seen in the last few pages.

1) before you complain about any problems, make sure you do a full wipe, even coming from 2.54 (or more, especially) they are different bases and dirty flashes have a high chance of causing problems. Do this now, pa 3.0 should be a straight upgrade.

2) we have known for ages there are problems with usb otg at the moment. (stick mount has reportedly been updated to work again now)

3) we have also known since release that 4.2 changes the Internal memory to have a /0/ folder, it's normal, and is due to multiuser, if it is causing problems with your apps (mostly backup app) point them to the new folders, rather than trying to change your file structure back. Personally I've seen no problem with it, most apps seem to adjust automatically.

4) tablet ui is gone, everyone knows it. Devs are busy figuring out if it can be resurrected but for now, no.

5) there is a separate gapps file for 2.99 (Aaron maybe it should go in the op)

6) Aaron has done an amazing job here, as far as I can see pa is the first custom rom to move to 4.2, make sure you thank him and if you can, donate to show your appreciation.

After all that I do have one request/question the change to the change apps button (whatever it's called, the one next to home down the bottom) is cool, but is there/could there be a way to choose if pressing the button again removes all recent apps? Or could it be made as a separate button? Quite a few times I've pressed it by accident and got rid of all my recent apps when I didn't want to.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:

Did I flash it wrong or are those features admitted in the beta?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blucmal:
No tablet ui as this is an aosp rom not cm10 based, they are working on bringing back tablet ui. For developer options go into settings/about and tap build version number bottom option about 7 times to enable developer options :good:

I got the aosp email from scrosler's stock 4.2 ROM because I already had it on my tablet. I was getting exchange force closes, so I also pulled the exchange email app from the same ROM.

Installed them the same way I always install system apps. Put them in /system/app/, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. You will want to rename the existing exchange app.
