AOSPA betaEIGHT

Uploading ... "

Who knows if grouper will get it tho. Don't get you're hopes up
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HwyXingFrog:
Just posting the general changelog for Beta8 that was posted on Google+

AOSPA betaEIGHT

- Gcc 4.7, O3 optimization, optimized Linaro strings, memcpy, etc

- Pa prefs and gapps auto backup

- No reboots anymore, instant overall UI switches

- Navbar can be scaled separately

- Auto color, manual exists still and you even get to color the statusbar icons. Auto color reduces the hassle down to one color-picker, the rest is being determined. Should you not like a single color then you can always go in and make change.

- /// recents for tabUI

- New drawables all over the system that allow transparency

- TabUI panel-title revamp, we took out the garbage and gave it a layout similar to what youre used to in phone and phab UI

[Nexus 7 Original Development] aaronpoweruser:
Just kicked a build off via ssh. No idea how go get it on goo from there. Hopefully I will be home
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
Flash just the ROM, if it ever worked it'll work. Unless something has gone totally south, of course. You could flash back to stock, to rule that out.

Aaron (and co) thanks a ton for looking into and seemingly managing to achieve the changing of the navbar size independently! Be much happier to return to phablet knowing that can be reduced without having to make the notification bar tiny. Eagerly awaiting Beta 8 to reflash :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Flukester69:
Well b6 blew up on me today. No idea what happened. Tablet has been running great. I got home today, it came out of sleep no problems. I had 2 updates, Google+ and MX Player. No problem, I updated. Everything seemed fine. Decided to check out the new Google+ and it said it was resizing my pic. GooManager came up and started downloading the new gapps, 1212. No problem, nothing out of the usual. Then I went into Google Current and remember, oh ya they changed it up. Unfortunately it doesn't look so nice on my N7 so I went to Settings and noticed right away that the settings screen was like Phone style. Weird. So I clicked on Hybrid properties to fix that up. FC! FC? Haven't had a FC except for Calendar which I fixed when I installed the ROM. So ok, things look weird, so I rebooted. Now it's in a bootloop continuously. Is that not just F'ing whacked?!

I don't get how it just blew up? Can an update like G+ kill it or MX? Seems strange...

I'm more anxious for B8 now. LOL!

Fixed it by reflashing ROM and 1212 gapps.

You should make this android 4.2.1. Make it that much better.

Hey Aaron I just jumped on to say hi. I just love your work more then my life and anything connected to it!!! I really really would never ever in a million years ask you for an eta. I am such a fan of your work and I believe that we shouldn't bother you with questions that are already answered in these forums. BTW is your next update based on 4.2.1 and when is the eta gonna be? Bahahaha (If you haven't guessed I'm being sarcastic) Ready when its ready, speed kills quality! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Edit: PA is ambitious, it adds tons of customization and performance tweaks. And by all accounts beta 8 is a big increase in that. I understand all that, yet I keep asking GooMgr to check for an update, and keep coming back here to see if anyone knows anything more. (sigh). I really AM jonesin'!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimrodity:
Changelog for beta 8 was posted just a page ago
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
OK, I had to look. A few beta 8 uploads are (still?) in goo.im. A message in G+ said that Maguro went in about 18:00 and that it was the last one. An hour or so later it was pulled.

PA_Toro went in at 14:57 PST

PA_ToroPlus went in at 15:07

PA_Manta went in at 16:17

So... there's three.

Not grouper.

Edit: grouper's up! Uploaded 5 minutes ago. Downloading now.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] lordvincent 90:
When beta 8 is released (for us, the n7... aka grouper), the pa team will make a new thread for those with the 3g model.

That thread will have the 3g version. This thread is for the wifi only one... but there is a test version for the 3g model floating around here somewhere

I have flashed pa_gapps-full-4.2-20121127.zip for beta 6...so that's what I'm going to flash with beta 8
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
I flashed the 1212 gapps, then GooMgr popped up a notice that a new 1212 was available. I downloaded and flashed that, everything seems to be working so far.

M-Kernel A23 took almost a minute to get to the X. I was about to go try flashing it a second time when it finally got past it. From X to the lock screen was only a few seconds, seemed like. Everything looks the way I left it before I flashed Beta 8.

I feel much better now! :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] xfrancis14:
Loving beta 8 just wish you could change the nav bar color and buttons in all apps at once and not selecting each one at a time
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
From a little bit of playing around on Beta 8 this is what ive noticed

Not sure automatic colour is working, if you select it the 'apply' button doesn't appear. You briefly see it appear if you launch the app and when you return to hybrid properties it will have been deselected again.

If you choose to change the colour of status bar icons through hybrid properties you'll get an ugly looking wifi icon. Also once you open an app with a custom colour for status bar icons then the stock blue icon will also be changed everywhere to one that lack bars:

If you adjust the order of quick settings tiles, for me there is a blank option in the rearrange menu which doesn't do anything and when you move it it will produce duplicate entries (ie. Two battery options, though you do not get two battery tiles appear in the actual quick settings)

The lockscreen will still rotate even if you have not enabled lockscreen rotation.

The duplicate 'choose input method' problem which was fixed in the test builds has returned in beta8

Other than that have come across no problems, changing ui without rebooting works brilliantly and it feels pretty fast!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
I too have noticed that auto colour is not working on any applications. I get the apply button but no changes applied when I go to the app and to the switch is back to the off position when I return to settings.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Skyrocket2Paradise:
Did beta 8 get pulled theres nothing in goo?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
I imagine beta8 has been pulled, after playing around for a while a lot of apps started crashing. The same has been happening on other devices running PA.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonnyg1097:
Sure looks like it's been pulled since I went straight to the goo.im website and it wasnt in the list of updates there for download.

I was able to grab it though before it got taken down though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Skyrocket2Paradise:
back up now
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ir0nLy0n:
I've noticed the apps force close when I try to change the volume. Even when going directly to settings and trying to change it from the slider there it fcs settings. I can't get logcat right now and had to revert to beta 6

When changing volume, if you go down first.. Then up, it won't force close. No idea why

P.s. happy page 900 everyone!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keitaro:
Through the Goomanager app on your device, do a "Check for updates". I'm not sure why it's *not* on the Goo site itself though...

How big is beta 8 perhaps its an update not a full ROM, and need to have beta 6 on first?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] lrefra:
pa_gapps-full-4.2-20121214 or 1212

What is better for beta 8?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keitaro:
Beta8 is 143.45 MB and it's the full version. You can come from any beta version of 2.99 without doing a full wipe. If you are coming from 2.54 then you will need a wipe.

In both cases you still need to flash Gapps as well after flashing the rom BEFORE you reboot, otherwise you will have to re-enter all your login details etc.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kearkan:
Just use the latest one from goo.

Also, i think i saw someone mention this before, but the splash of colour thing in pa settings does nothing, it flashes like its applying but then no colours change. Besides that its excellent!

Update, i changed to tablet ,ode then back and some of the colours are there now =S

Update again, only Google now changes the nav bar, nothing else has changed as far as i see, settings, Facebook, are all still white on black

Actually it was available on both site and app, they are the one and same source. It has since been pulled and is no longer available. I'm assume that it got pulled as aaronpoweruser noted that he was testing earlier. So probably upload a test build in error. It is quite a buggy build so can understand him wanting to iron out some of the issues before releasing.

Changed ROM from eclipse to pa beta 6 and the beta 8 become available. For anyone else that can't see beta 8 on goo.

Noob question please don't flame

I have installed a different kernel (M-kernel) on top of PA 2.99 - do I still not need to perform a full wipe when upgrading to beta 8?

I've never installed anything via goo hence the question.

well i do like cm, i adore this rom. i know its rough but it will get better. eventually giving you the option to chose whatever you want has been always the best. on nexus i experimented with it, i included launchers, kernel, this and that app, and it always has been a huge headache because you get people that didnt want it, people whos preferences you overwrite, etc. my goal is to deliver a nice, clean rom, close to stock cyanogenmod, without hiding their name and efforts, with a hopefully flawless hybrid engine on top of it plus our countless additions and fixes to mold the hostile tab environment into something useful.

Yes, if you can answer the following question. When you click and unclick Google Photos in Settings>Accounts>Google, you get this from logcat:

So, how does one enable downsync? Google search is letting me down along with all kinds of digging in Manage Apps and Root Explorer. Nothing related to photos or picasa shows up in /data/system/sync/accounts.xml, but I don't know if it should either. Meh, it will come along I'm sure.

I'm not sure if it has the ability to push updates to the device. This has the ability to have a boot up check for any new updates which would be an interesting addition to the pa lineup
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stetsonaw:
Goo doesn't recognize PA as a compatible ROM for updates or even for searching for compatible ROMs, so that would need to be addressed first.

But is anyone having any trouble with the gmail app? Mine is just not syncing with gmail and I can't send any emails out I just get "sending" also even though the emails have been viewed on my N7 the emails are not syncing with the app, must be something wrong with the Gapps so I'll try to reflash that but let me know I can do something different!
