A suggestion that might help is for someone to write up a detailed process for issue reporting and stick it on the OP. I manage software implementations and we have a checklist and process for submitting issues to allow support to recreate and trouble shoot problems.

Example:

Description of problem and how to replicate:

Hardware:

PA version:

GAPPS version:

Full wipe or dirty flash?

Logcat (include instructions on how to pull and parse)

bla

bla

bla

Then whenever someone posts a issue you just link to the OP and say follow the instructions to report an issue.

Just read all the postings came from a dirty install beta3. Catalog attached for pa prefs

[Nexus 7 Original Development] RealPariah:
Great Idea, but you must be newer to open source software communities. As noted we have a hard enough time getting people to post ANY information AFTER SEARCHING and they cant bother to even read other posts on the same page as their own reply in some cases. You would have a VERY hard time implementing a template type approach. It would be awesome, but difficult to do and you would end up scaring off some folks who would want to post but felt put off about formatting.

Not trying to knock your approach, but that would require we had a more technically focused community, and that they had the will and energy to follow the request.

Really the big thing is LogCat, in a lot of cases even if the user is unaware of the specific language involved or needed to describe a problem the technician or developer can usually glean what is truly going on from the log. NOW I AM NOT ADVOCATING JUST POSTING LOGCATS PLEASE AS REQUESTED IN OP INCLUDE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE. I am just saying that LogCats can usually get the correct data across even if the user is unaware of exactly what that data is.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I think they should. And I think if you don't follow the guidelines with reporting, it ignored.

gapps and fix link not work...please reupload
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pharpe:
I've been following the android community for a while and it always seems to me that the lack of structure is one of the most challenging things for new people. I find that people are better able to provide you the data you need if they are given with a framework and introductions with which to do so.

Ambiguity and re-inventing the wheel are the killers here. Many of these dev threads are thousands of pages long with the same questions asked and answered over and over. All I'm saying is instead of asking for logcats, explaining what logcats are, and asking for basic info over and over why not write up a detailed post one time and just link to that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] philburkhardt:
The gapps link worked fine for me. Just downloaded about 2 minutes ago. The fix link also worked, but there is no fix to download.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leoniedelt:
I am new to logcats - i have the right app, i can generate a log, but i dont know how to trim it nor what information Aaron wants, and since he never did tell me, I didnt do one this time. The logs the app generates are enormous - i also don't know how to get them onto the forum.

More than happy to help if i knew how :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
You just need to start the log then make the bug happen and then stop the log. I'm sure Aaron can figure out where it's happening.

Are you using Catlog to make the logcats?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] o0boiboi0o:
OMG. After spending my time reading back the pages, all I got was "PA FC'ed". No offense, but WTH?! Ppl here dont read? Is it very demanding for us to read few pages back especially when update is released so as to check for any bug or problem reported by kind souls here that bother to share?

What I suggest is that while dear Aaron is busy checking on this issue, we can just flash beta5 and live with it for now. I believe this is caused purely by PA apk itself (which is why nothing to do with full wipe or not). Thus when it is ready, Aaron (hopefully) will just post the updated PA apk and we can just replace it.

Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leoniedelt:
I've got system tuner, like Aaron said to get, but no more info than that I'm afraid.

Its interesting that I can't download TV catch up from the play store either. Incompatible with my tablet it says.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] RealPariah:
Yeah, many who are here who are enthusiasts who will try to do anything you ask, but an even bigger number are just we shall say general public where they here about this cool thing they can do with their phones and when they pull up here [or other forums sites etc.] they seem to just want everything done for them, and if something doesn't go exactly right they want personalized hand holding help and don't bother to read the full install instructions let alone bother to note any other information being left.

From working on XDA, ModMyMobile and other sites I have found the following generally is tech support 101 for Development sections [QA sections are more relaxed and where the newbies and others who aren't sure should be posting these same help me this dont work type posts]...

Issue/Problem Brief [Like One Line Subject type deal]:

Issue/Problem Details [What Apps were running when whatever happened, what actions were you doing, etc]:

Attempts at or Full Resolution [What did you try to do to fix / address the problem soo far?, Have you read anything that you feel may help, etc?]:

Device Model/Name: [Here not soo much this thread is device specific but still good idea to put in]

Device Specifics [What Version software, is there anything you have customized (ie kernel, radio, framework files, etc.)]:

Then Attach a LogCat (I usually either attach the text file or zip it and attach it if needed to the post itself [pasting a huge logcat in to a post as post text is not a good idea [at least use (code)blah(/code) [dont forget square brackets I used parentheses so the tages dont get parsed and used], or you could use something like an online pastebin if that floats your boat) [Visit market nice app named CatLog that is free and even has a home screen widget to start/stop recording if you want to re-create the issue and create a text file in /sdcard/catlog that has only actions from between the time you start recording until stopped].

That's about what any developer is really asking for. Of course your specific issue/problem may not hit ALL the points here but MOST do and DON'T FORGET THAT LOGCAT LOG!

Hope this helps...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ken_P:
Should we switch to the new 1128 gapps or keep with the PA specific ones? I'm going to flash beta 5.1 when I get home tonight and I want to use the right ones.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] D-m-x:
Yeah i got the same problem. If you set Youtube on 800px it doesn't load after opening. Besides that everything seems to work fine, thank you!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Flukester69:
So what if your device reboots spontaneously? What is a logcat going to do? Does it actually capture when the device rebooted? Is there something else you can grab?

I agree though that these guys and anyone making rom's would benefit from logcat's and stuff. Just saying this doesn't work with nothing is not a help.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Fallon9111:
That's why hybrid mode is only experimental but allows per app settings.

But if we're gonna rant, YouTube won't allow share > see all

Still my favourite android rom tho xD
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ereader:
YouTube working fine here... The only problem I have, if you can really call it a problem is when I boot up the device I always get "clock has stop responding"... But all in all for a beta this runs like a dream... Great work
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Anthonok:
I know. I was only stating it because i didn't know if it was new bug or not as I've used PA before and been able to change it to tablet
[Nexus 7 Original Development] 0355:
Not ranting, just reporting hybrid mode not working for that specific app. Very happy with the ROM, I think it's the best ROM available for Nex7 hands down.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] smelkus:
When it comes to logcats, I found this comment from Dianne Hackborn (Google engineer) encouraging when replying about the 'adb bugreport' command, which basically runs dumpsys, dumpstate and logcat at once (emphasis mine):

So, it'd take a while to learn everything about logcat and more than Aaron could just provide via reply. A Google search of "how to logcat" naturally comes right back to XDA though. The fun part is noticing a bug, running a logcat, posting to pastebin for the developer and then trying to read through it to understand what happened. No one can understand it at first, you just keep reading and learning from it as you go. :D

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ezas:
I can't believe I just read this. If you can't be bothered to read back even two pages. . . Why are you even flashing a beta if you can't be bothered to "read backwards. You are in a dev thread, original Dev at that. They bust their humps for us. . . But you are admittedly to lazy to read even one page where you would have seen the answer.

It may sound like I'm trying to rip you a new one, but it's more amazement at what you said, than being pissed off. I'm just a reader like anyone else.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
I agree with this wholeheartedly. It takes a serious amount of audacity if you ask me. There's a 'search this thread' link at the top of every page. If you're too lazy to use it, please do the rest of us a favor and don't flash this rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
The first time, I flashed beta 5.1, M-kernel A16, then the new gapps in that order all at once. I wiped the caches and rebooted, and it seemed to go well. I went directly to PA Settings to see that it worked, and changed the default user apps setting to Tablet. It prompted to reboot, which it did. Ten minutes later I looked over, and it was stuck on G. So, back to recovery (TWRP).

The second time, I flashed beta 5.1, wiped caches, and rebooted. Then back to recovery and flashed A16, and rebooted. Then back to recovery and flashed gapps, and rebooted. This time I got the gapps setup, which didn't run the first time. After I got through that I went to PA Settings, changed the default user apps setting to Tablet, and let it reboot again. All good!

I changed too many variables, so there's no telling what made it work the second time and not the first. Just filing the report.

Too lazy to even read how to do something right? SERIOUSLY?? Go buy a friggin iPhone, you don't even have the right to want to customize your device. Go on Craig's list and find one of those douches who sell ROM flashing :laugh:

Beta 5 and latest gapps = no FC anymore with GTalk, thank you !

Minor issue - try to add shortcut on the "desktop" - you will see icons only without text with Tablet UI (wasn't testing others)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
Its not the ROM its a16 kernel. LP core is overclocked to 700 mhz, so your device is probably locking up. Try francos r30
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
Or a16 446/620...

Also, if you flash PA and GApps without rebooting, you won't get the google setup stuff (because the info is still there (unless, of course, you did a factory reset))

So I was able to flash 2.99 Beta51 no problem but as I went to go do a restore of my apps backed up I noticed that in the 0 folder of the sd card has what looks like previous sd cards built up on previous versions flashed to my N7 (which was where the backups was placed).
