I'm still using the 20120810 GApps since it has the Picasa Web Album sync for the Gallery, 20121011 does not.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dazzuh:
Mkay this is becoming more and more annoying.

trying to update to 2.5, every time I do It gets stuck at the boot image.

The way I've been installing it, Flash stock 4.1.1, update to 4.1.2 via android, root, install PA 2.5, Install the latest Gapps, clear cache, Clear Dalvik Cache. Reboot, stuck at booting screen.

Anyone help with this? been trying since last night..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hopscotchjunkie:
Clear data/factory reset in recovery before installing PA?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
Try skipping the step to update to 4.1.2, installing the ROM will do that for you. Also do a factory reset after you root before you install PA 2.5.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dazzuh:
Well, that worked. why I didn't try that before, I have no idea.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jhondidfool:
tried other gapps package, still didn't work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] .torrented:
You should already be rooted (never take OTA's no matter what anybody says) It doesn't matter what your android version is as long as you follow the steps below:

This is how you SHOULD do it.

1) Factory Reset (first thing no matter what)

2) Clear cache and dalvik cache

3) Wipe system

4) Flash ROM

5) Flash Gapps

6) Reboot to System

I promise you that if you stick to what i'm saying to the letter (and keep the order like I have it), you will never have any problem flashing anything ever! (unless its a bad download, wrong device, or a beta test)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jhondidfool:
I really love PA, but not being able to flash gapps is ennervating. Also, there are missalignements on the edges of the grid in tablet mode: the nav bar eats part of the lower row icons, and the icons on the side get half swallowed when I use portrait mode. :(

Strange issue with latest update

Google Navigation will not get a fix.. Says waiting for location .

Google maps will show where im at on the screen when i click the arrow to go and type or search location google Nav sits on waiting for location.. It does the same just clicking the Nav app only..

Co- Pilot works fine so does the gps with gps test apps.. I have reboot device cleared cashe dalvik uninstalled re-installed the app. Then totally wiped my device in recovery and installed a total fresh copy of the rom and google apps..

It worked fine last night . Only thing changed is this rom..

Im sure its something simple. Please check this to see if its just me..

Thanks Erica..

Unfortunately I get absolutely no GPS-Signal with PA 2.5

I came from a freshly flashed factory image and installed PA and GApps, wiped and everything works fine - but not GPS.

I tried editing the gps.conf and installed a binary driver update (here from XDA) with no success.

Anybody an idea what I could do? I test with GPS-Status from market.

I've had mine on all night and all day with no shut offs. Having said that, I'm running on the stock kernel, so I guess it would have to be the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
You have to enter in a hex code for the color and transparency you want. When you change the navigation bar color code change the "ff" to "bb" or "aa" to get the transparency. "aa" is more transparent than "bb".
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ed33:

I notice the height of my combined bar is higher when in portrait than when in landscape. Is this by design in the new version? I like having the shorter bar in both portrait/landscape.

Using Tablet UI.

Is it normal that i have to hold the power button for like 15sec if I want to turn my tablet on? When I just bought it, it was like 4 sec.

I would also like to know this.. is there a way to disable this custom nav bar color thing without changing it in every app?

EDIT: It looks like if I set it on the Demo mode and back to the default/phablet mode the custom colors stuck however setting it again seems to have put it back to default.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Are you sure is GPS and not location measured from WIFI? Have you checked woth a GPS status checker app (GPS Checker, GPS staus, compass pro, etc?) . Google Maps is able to sense my approximate location based on wifi data, but whenever I try to use one of the above mentioned app, it is unable to sense satellites, altitude, longitude and latitude. I think GPS maybe broken in this build.

Does anyone else have to enable/disable the status bar clock after every reboot?

I always keep it disablede but after a reboot it shows up. The setting isn't checked when I go into settings so I check then uncheck it.

Not a big deal...just a little annoying. I've done a clean install. It's happened on every build for me. Could it be from the theme I'm using?

Great ROM!!

Been using PA 2.5 for a few days now. Haven't really found anything problematic so far. The Nav buttons flicker sometimes specially in the Settings. Is this really supposed to happen? I've been playing with the transparency of the nav bar.

I'll have to look at my settings on my break, I'm at work on my phone, I think my grid is set to 6x7. If you use paranoid settings and change it to 720px it'll enable the classic honeycomb style tablet mode. I then increased dpi because icons were a tad small

Hey guys, quick question. I just got my nexus7 second hand, he was running this(i've got it on my Gnex, and love it). Then reflashed stock rom and sent it to me. It's still unlocked, I've gotten Rom Manger off the Play store. Tried to flash CWM but it says I don't have the permission, what do? Also when I try and boot into recovery from power off it freezes up for 5 minutes before going back to restarting.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] shamal:
the best way i found to get the color taskbar to work is by selecting PA Demo in the Parandoid Settings, then after reboot go back to Parandoid Settings and go to interface and set the workspace to table mode and then after reboot go to Apps and find Trebuchet, then change the size to 180 and layout/UI to 720x, and it should work fine now..

Hope it helps..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cor-master:
Ok my nova grid is 5x7, width and height margins set to small.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Foxhounnd:
Well this is weird. When I open up rom manger it says i need to root the phone, but when I go into boot loader it says "Lock State-Unlocked". Whats the best course of action??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] walaway:
The unlocked state has nothing to do with it. But that's a start.

I'm guessing you're still on stock rom but unlocked bootloader.

Now, download the necessary pa files and put them to your sd card. And don't forget to get a custom recovery as well.

Re-read and redo the instructions in the OP and if it doesn't help just search the forums on how to install custom recovery.

When you've successfully flashed a custom and working recovery head on to installing the PA rom through that recovery.

If that doesn't.. well I can't help you put that much unless I can remote your pc and do that for ya which i don't have the luxury as of the moment

[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Can any one please confirm that GPS is REALLY working under PA 2.50? I am not talking about Google Maps sensing and fixing the location from WIFI. I am talking about real GPS data, like : Exact coordinates (latitude-longitude), height (altitude) , number of satellites sensed, etc. This can be checked through many apps like GPS Status, GPS checker, Compass pro, etc. Another way of checking this is trying navigation under Google Maps or other GPS navigation app , but in real time, moving at least 1/2 mile (1 km) etc.

Remember location can be "fixed" by WIFI, and this data remains in the ROM, even if you turn WIFI off it will show the last location fixed, but that doesn't mean it is actually measuring the location through GPS.

My opinion is that something broke GPS data reading in this version, and I would like this to be confirmed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sean.trinidade:
Doesn't work for me (using GPS Status)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
This is what I already suspected. It also happens in other ROMs using PA (like dark PA for example) I installed the dark PA 2.50 version just out of curiosity and the same issue happened, so most probably is due to the 2.50 PA compilation.

Aaron or Moles can you please have a look at this? Thank you!

working for me - maybe something is broke in the PA 2.50 kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
I'm on PA 2.5 and using the stock kernel. GPS works fine for me using GPS Status. The first time I tried it took quite a long time to get a fix 30-40s, but since then I get a GPS fix in any app as quick as normal
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Good to know, but I tried the GPS with the stock kernel and then with Franco r23 kernel, it did not work in any case. What I did use was a different Gapps , inverted gapps as of 23 October , which was working well with the rest of the ROM features. I did not think of this, as I couldn't imagine a gapps package breaking the GPS signal...is it possible? It would be good to know if someone is using PA 2.50 with the same gapps you have and still not having GPS signal, to exclude Gapps though.

Anyway thanks! :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I've seen people talk about having to hold the power button to start the tab and that it not wake up.

Are you using Trinity kernel? Since the new 4.1.2 kernel, morfic is having a hell of a time figuring out what is causing the tab to sod (sleep of death).

Dirty flash the ROM and it will replace the kernel with the stock one.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
Just a heads up for those trying to get the transparent navigation bar. I messed around with it last night and you can easily adjust the transparency by leaving the last 6 spots as zero and using a 2 digit number from 00 to 99 for the first 2 spots, 00 being the most transparent and 99 the least.

00:

99:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] y2whisper:
how come you use two different gapps? shouldn't the picasa version be all you need?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Alex240188:
just to point out that 00 is the most transparent and FF is the least (not 99)

these are hex codes

so fully transparent would be 00000000

and fully black would be FF000000

and GPS working fine here using

PA2.5

latest faux beta kernel

gapps 26/07/12
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Thanks, by the way the GPS satellite app is pretty cool, what is the name of it?:confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
GPS working fine, here 11/11 locked.

Apparently, hex is like kryptonite to people around here...

Let me try to explain

The hex system breaks down into two bytes per character, ranging from 0 to 255, representing a full 256 character map. The lowest hex is 00 and it represents 0. The highest hex is FF and it represents 255.

A standard color hex represents three numbers, each between 0 and 255: one for red, one for blue, and one for green. #FF0000 would be completely red (red @ 255). #00FF00 would be completely green, and #0000FF would be completely blue (remember the hex is read RRGGBB).

A color hex with alpha transparency will have a fourth hex at the beginning of it, making the format AARRGGBB where AA is a number between 0 and 255 representing the OPACITY of the element (NOT the transparency - transparent and opaque are opposite ends of the same measurement). A completely transparent element would be #00RRGGBB and a completely opaque element would be #FFRRGGBB.

Hex uses 0 - 9 and a - f to represent 0 - 255.

It's not black magic or anything you need a decoder ring for, it's simple math.

Hope this helps some of you out :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] prestige777:
Transparency only works with trebuchet, with apex or nova, you get half of black bar or the wallpaper doesn't go all the way down in portrait. Anyone know how to get this to work?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizgnome:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Which clock widget is taht?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
You're not seeing a transparency failure, you're seeing wallpaper trim.

It has to do with DPI vs container size for any launcher. You rarely if ever see it in landscape, but always see it in portrait, and applies to trebuchet, as well.

Try this to see what I mean:

Set Trebuchet to container 720px and dpi213 while System is set to tabletUI 720px) and 160dpi - notice the ridiculous wallpaper trim in portrait?

Play around with different settings between your launcher and your system apps and look at all the different ways you can affect wallpaper trim in portrait (a few even affect it in landscape)

PA and recovery have

nothing

to do with one another, whatsoever...

Here's an idea. Don't rely on toolkits. Instead, install the android sdk on your pc and learn how to use adb and fastboot. This is a nexus device; There is absolutely no reason to use a toolkit, just like flashing an older version of PA has nothing to do whatsoever with being able to boot in and out of recovery...
