Installed the 2.13 and again the paranoid setting preferences can not be restored, should we apply the patch that you made for 2.12 moles?

NeXusS i9020T - ParanoidAndroid 2.+ - Air Kernel r1

NeXus7 - ParanoidAndroid 2.13
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
definitively not. i dont know how far jesus is in his work, as long as you can set dpi youre good. the restore function is nice but not such a big bummer if its out of order for now as long as he's working on it. just copy that file yourself if you want. it goes to /system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf

another thing i have just learned. cm's navbar controlpanel has still issues. you might experience swapped buttons in phabmode/landscape - dont wonder. the feature itself should work though. i'll observe the situation and when a fix comes you'll have it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DakiX:
Changelog 2.13?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] madAdam6LOVE:
I'll take the heat for that. But I was actually also wondering about the surfaceflinger fix, and also wasn't sure whether the fix linked in a post here yesterday for 2.12 was still needed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GeekMcLeod:
Was just about to report that. I've also experienced overlapping when adding a search button as the third button (4 in total). When I add it as the fourth, and move it to third it works so no biggie. Could have just been a one time thing too. I also can't set 2 always show menus, 1 on each side. I know it's still a WIP, just wanted to share what I found.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
no problem. it went through a long review phase but maybe not long enough. i guess they'll sort these kinks out soon anyway.

i can also kill the entire feature for now if you guys think its the best.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
make it a habit to just try things and see how it works out. with a monthly/weekly nandroid in check you're safe to whatever you like. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] El Nino1977:
OP what's that? This is xda we are talking about. Nobody reads it... :);):P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
i kinda feel obliged to mention it, though. to be honest, i never read other peoples intro pages aswell, just going for the download. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GSLEON3:
LOL... I don't know if I'd consider a jail break technical or techie as 90% of it is to use pirated apps, but anytime you mess with firmware you have a chance of bricking. The chances are pretty minimal, to almost non-existent, however if you follow the steps laid out & stick to firmware & kernel mods published by longtime member or recognized developers that are in good standing. The status of RD or RC are not post based & are decided upon by a group of moderators & are carefully reviewed & considered. This is not a blog where just anything can be posted. If there are issues in something that gets up'd to XDA, it almost always gets caught pretty quickly & is removed. That's not to say you don't have to take some responsibility & use discretion when making decisions, but you can feel pretty comfortable knowing that there isn't a bunch of garbage posted at XDA, especially in the high count threads.

I hate flashy roms & usually build my own everything that is close to stock. In this case however, I used Moles PA & it is one of those few times where it fits all my needs & is just plain awesome. Just read thru threads that interest you. You will get an idea pretty quickly about who knows there stuff & is good about updating & supporting their releases. Some people keep releasing new roms that are cool, but are never finished, they never have a final version because new stuff is more important to the cook than stability. This happens to be one of those rare times when you find great new features & incremental stability built on an already pretty stable base. Mole's PA rom is really great & you won't see too many posts from me with this much praise.

Just a word on stability, Kernels can greatly affect stability & make a near perfect rom seem horribly unstable. This is the case with PA. Use the stock Kernel or check out a few others. There are a few kernels out there that tout all these great features, but the kill the near perfect experience of PA because of bugs or other compatibility issues. Nothing that is likely to brick your device, but if you are using the wrong kernel, you may incorrectly come to the conclusion that the PA rom has serious issues. There are at least two kernels out there that cause stability issues with this rom, but when using the stock kernel (& one or two of the others I tried) it is just great.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sensory:
Yes, please. Can we get an updated changelog for these past few versions? I'm not going to do a blind update just because a new version is out.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] noobandriod:
I'm not sure if it's just me but I can't seem to be able to download 2.13.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TRSolebum:
goo.im seems to have server problems
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
one or two pages back. as i wrote jesus will write the official one as most features this timecame from him. dont flash it then and wait until he's finished it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sensory:
Appreciate the quick response, the changelog you mentioned is here for people looking for the same: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31661605&postcount=3152

If this was a first time thing I'd understand, but the changelog hasn't been updated since 1.95. Even a quick and dirty rundown posted in the OP would suffice; rather that than having to waste developers time with multiple people asking the same question.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sean.trinidade:
Moles, any chance of fixing the Lockscreen shortcut? It's still doesn't allow you to put any apps in the bottom half of the circle.

It's not a big deal (just an annoyance), and otherwise, this is a great ROM! :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kueber:
Tiny question - new to paranoid.

Is flash somehow disabled? .. I can't get it to work the usual way. Boat browser + latest flash *.apk worked every time .. until now.

Sorry if this was asked before, I've searched the thread but haven't found anything related.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
still not? wow that sucks. normally we dont change cm's stuff assuming they know obvious bugs and change their features but this one they must have overlooked.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Small bug report, no descriptions on hybrid ho's
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
no, i dont think its disabled. but i dont know if its still working on jb. if it does it should do on cm/pa aswell.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sean.trinidade:
Working fine for me using the AOSP browser.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
thats what you mean ... i was sure i had it there but apparantly i had not --- updated now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] genetic608:
Been using since 2.11. Flashing 2.13 now. As my first experience with PA I must say I'm extremely impressed! Thanx for this one :D

Now to just decide which kernel to use as my daily
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kueber:
That's strange.. which paranoid version do you use? I'm on 2.13 - did a clean install, sideloaded the latest flashplayer.apk - installed it.. and no browser is able to run flash.

Update: Tried another *.apk and now it works.. I don't even. Thanks for the quick feedback :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tonyp:

I hate to be that guy, but does anyone happen to have a mirror link for 2.13? Goo.im is definitely not working so well for me at the moment.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jordanooo:
Some new options in 2.13. Good so far.

Just getting a bit of lag on dead trigger every few seconds, even after applying lag fix

Also, lock screen shortcuts are not working

Flicker issue has gone though!

Great work though, thanks :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
If that one doesn't work, I have one I can upload.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Rody2k6:
WOW Thanks for all help, was a pleasure reading it :D

but what is Mole's PA? I am lost here
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Zeros:
PA is Paranoid Android, the thread you are in right now. Moles is MolesAreComing, the guy who's thread we are in right now.

It's there a way to remove the Notification on/off switch from the notification drawer?

2.1.3 is good to go for grouper. Not yet available for maguro from my gDrive.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
He's wanting to remove the slider for notifications that shows up in the notification drawer in tablet ui mode. Conversely, I would like to be able to actually use/have it while in phablet mode (which I've decided to give a fair chance.. Actually quite like it, so far)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jordanooo:
Getting the 'insufficient storage' message when i have >3gb and the apps 45mb

Tried clearing cache, dalvik

Anybody know a fix? Otherwise ill do a full wipe
[Nexus 7 Original Development] maxmax0:
I would also like this. Generally more customization of the tablet ui notification menu would be nice!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] vagelis:
A 2.13 fyi

I still had to flash the 2.12 fix on top, to be able to restore PA settings.

Thank you moles, for the excellence this Rom embodies.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
Yes, I would like the option to not have the notification on/off switch constantly present, you can remove or add any of the other switches but not this one for some reason. Hopefully it gets added in at some point.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Novalis31:
I noticed that face unlock no longer available, is there a reason for this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
these are probably carryovers from the CM10 base this is built on :(

Face unlocks working here
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xari228:
Ditto me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Well 2.13 fixed my icon placement issues. Fabulous...simply fabulous!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mtxx1:
2.13 has a bug.

when the navigations button in portrait is

(back,home,recent)

but when i change to landscape mode it becomes

(recent, home, back)

i tried reboot but still the same issue.

if i go settings to change the navigation button,

regardless how i change, back&recent will always swap position when changing orientation.

reverted back to 2.12
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
I'm not having that issue. They stay back, home and recent for me in portrait.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ellingsoc:
Mine does this as well when in stock mode with hybrid on in tablet mode they are fine

[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
I just tried it....I'm pretty sure that's how it's suppose to be. Is your recent key the one on top, back is on the bottom, while in landscape?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ellingsoc:
Pretty sure your keys should not switch sides when you rotate
[Nexus 7 Original Development] D4rKn3sSyS:
Y u no Colombia phone providers sell Nex7 so I can buy mine too :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:

what does the Center Clock option do? I don't see it doing anything and I even rebooted and what not.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NoTnERb:
Is that the one under lock screen->clock alignment? That changes the clock position on your lock screen. You can move it to the center, right or left. No need to reboot for changes to take effect

Hey guys.. Does any one play agent dash on this rom? I used to play it just fine on stock.. But in this rom in like every 30-40 seconds the screen blacks out for a second and comes back while playing this game.. Anyone facing this issue? What can I do to fix this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shpatar:
I'm having the same issue, with virtually all games, and PDF readers, etc. Tis flicker/ black out, sometimes for milliseconds, sometimes for a second... Anyone know what's going on? It makes anything with just a little more complicated graphics unusable.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] toker_X1:
just try it, flickers are now worse than before.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jshashwat93:
You mean to say but got worse after flashing?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] djricekcn:
the newely added one....i don't see a difference though. again, i'm on tablet mode for all three. still have the annoying top and bottom space empty as well. and grid is only 6.x7, not 7x7 even if i set it that way.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] toker_X1:
sorry my error didnt wipe cache.

seems ok now. will test with my usual games.

web, email & xda apps no flickering since flash fix.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jshashwat93:
Can you tell me how the games work?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mtxx1:
yes, this is exactly the problem i'm having.

reverted back to 2.12 to avoid this issue. thank goodness i always do cwm backup before flashing ANYTHING.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
as i wrote, the buttonswap is due to a bug in cm's new navigationcontrol, which allows you to define the number and function of your buttons. its a pretty obvious flaw and i think this will be fixed soon. tabUI is not affected, nor is phoneUI. im building right now to see if its gone already.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jshashwat93:
Thanks a lot.. Everything works perfect now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] toker_X1:
tested asphalt 7, dead trigger and virtua tennis all working, no flickers on screen.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jshashwat93:
Does 2.13 need this fix too or just 2.12? If i flash for 2.12 to 2.13 do i need to do full wipe? Will my kernel remain flashed after flashing 2.13 or will i have to flash it again?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] toker_X1:
I went from 2.12 to 2.13 via dirty flash

My steps...

reboot to recovery

wipe cache & dalvik

flash 2.13

flash Gapps

boot in Android

Reboot into recovery

wipe cache & dalvik

installed patch

Reboot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kueber:
Is it possible to add a shortcut somewhere to just disable software buttons? Like the 'expanded desktop' function shortcut?

As a lazy person, it's uncomfortable navigating every time to settings/system/navigation bar .. :D

And.. wasn't it possible to enable lockscreen landscape mode?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jshashwat93:
So 2.3 needs the flash too? Or you did it without checking?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] toker_X1:
i was still experiencing flickering with 2.3 and some lag on launcher so i flash the patch. it has signification reduce flicker on web surfing with media content. launcher seems quicker too.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bushpilotwannabe:
For expanded desktop, try holding down the power button. If it's not in the menu, go to Settings > System > Power Menu and check the box.

Lockscreen autorotate can be enabled under Settings > Display > Rotation, but I'm not sure if there's a way to have it on landscape by default.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kueber:
Yup, I know about the expanded desktop shortcut... I want one like that, but just for the navigation buttons. There is a function in settings/system/navigation bar to turn those off.. but a shortcut would be awesome.

Thanks - totally forgot about the rotation setting at 'display'.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bushpilotwannabe:
Ah, now I see what you're saying. Hadn't had my coffee yet when I read that the first time. :p I haven't seen anything like that, but it would be cool.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zimphishmonger:
I thought this was added already \ fixed in CM. Not sure this is needed anymore. Can someone please confirm?

On another note:

Noticed Apex is very funky on this version (or it could be the new beta for Apex). Can someone suggest a app drawer layout (5x6, 6x5) for TabletUI at normal (213) dpi? Its either shoves too many icons on each drawer or puts so much space in between them that it looks quite odd.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
yay, finally got my nex7. building for it will be so much easier. im using up the 20$ i got as a gift from google and then i'll install PA and see what i can do. :D

btw, im shocked how laggy google stock is. its bad. its still 4.1.0, though.

What kernel are you guys using with the nex7 version of this rom?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
I'm currently using Motley's 484 GPU kernel undervolted 50mv across the board.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
I'm scared to death of asking this question for fear of being pounced on, but I have to. In the op it says there is a patch, and to look for the link that says "bug fix" and to make sure it'sfor the rom I'm on....once I select "grouper" I do not see anything in the link that says "bug fix". Don't want to flash the wrong one. Does I select the one that says grouper? I'll be safe with that one? And yes, i read the op and the whole thread...I've downloaded some links people have posted for others but i always get "download unsuccessful". Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] BakaPhoenix:
Can you use the nav bar mod from aokp instead the cm10 one? I think that the nav bar on the n7 is too big and i like how i can easily change the height in the aokp
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Chronzy:
I don't believe it's needed anymore because I've installed 2.13+gapps with no problems. Probably the smoothest android experience ever for me, or at least as good as AOKP on my SIII, which is saying a lot.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Salv0:
You have to choose grouper and download the ROM. Then if there is also a file with "FIX" in the name and with the same build number ( as example you are about to dowload ROM 2.13, the fix will be 2.1.3_FIX or something like that ), then you have to download and flash it :)

If it doesn't exist, don't worry, there's no patch or fix, so flash only the rom then gapps :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adamhlj:
I am glad you asked because I was wondering the same thing. But did not want to ask for the same fear, lol.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jordanooo:
Sometimes there may not be a patch/bug fix for a version.

As long as you flash one that says grouper in the name, you will be fine.

You could get the goo.im app. That will show you all the available roms for your nexus 7 so you wont be able to download the wrong one.

Incase you didnt know, you can change the size of the nav bar in settings/paranoid settings/user interface
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Thank You so much! I'm already on 2.13 and have my gapps installed...I have only been using PA since 2.11, I came from another rom....I just keep reading about a "patch/bug fix". I guess there isn't one because I'm not seeing anything with "fix" in the link, although the op does mention one but I believe it is for 2.12. Thank you again. I do have goo, I just have never seen a fix on it. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] BakaPhoenix:
Thanks, i tought that it only changed the status bar not the nav bar too
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Haaahaaa! I've been wanting to ask for two days now! After multiple Google searches for "paranoid android 2.+ bug fix/patch" and going through countless threads I had no choice :) We shouldn't have to feel that way but hey....it is what it is :)

That is the biggest downfall with these forums, people giving other people crap because they asked a question that may have already been answered previously.

Available Fonts in PA?

I do not want to theme the PA Rom on my Nexus 7 at all, it is PERFECT! however i would like to be able to use the Rosemary Font for example. Where can I Change the Font or add Fonts only in PA? - I did search the threads albeit not exhaustively. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DanielEGVi:
OK, this is the first (!) ROM I'm flashing on my N7.

If I'm running stock, do I still have to do a full wipe?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] troffers:
Yep, full wipe.

Download ROM & gapps to the sd card (look for any bug fixes too)

Boot into recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Flash ROM, then gapps

Wipe cache & dalvik

Reboot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DanielEGVi:
Oh, well...

I'm used to full wipe on my phone, but I carry 6GB of photos on it, my dropbox, mediafire, minus, etc accounts are all full, its a mess, and doing a pretty large backup and restore everytime I flash a ROM its exhaustive. I guess I'm having to deal with it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Do you have "Rom toolbox pro"? If not grab that in the play store....you'll be able to change your fonts, (there are a whole slew of them on there too) as well as change other things like boot animations, theme manager,etc.
