Foreveryone asking about Halo in tablet UI or any other FAQ, here is PA's post from Google+:

1. it disappears after tapping the button in the shade. yes. its supposed to. it comes up when there is something to report. the empty bubble you have seen in the oode video was an early built, this one doesn't show the empty state.

2. the last message stays. well obviously. if you read what we wrote today, this is in phase two. if i hide it just for this alpha i will have to remove/retouch that code later on when it becomes a notification switcher that simply must be present on the screen. the X is meant for situations you dont want to respond to notifications.

3. it does not react for this and that situation. it simply reacts to the regular ticker, the one you know from the statusbar. ticker has its own rules implemented by google as to not tax the user too much. HALO reacts every time androids generates a genuine tick.

if it doesnt repond at all, not even to your touch you have some crazy hacky stuff installed. get rid of that!!! TOUCH CONTROL, kernels that mess with responsiveness and overlays, etc.

4. it duplicates behavior. it does not. its the notification shades missing half. shade is a hub/aggregator for things accumulating, you get through that whenever you find time. HALO is for responding to tasks on the spot or later switching between onging tasks. thats why it sits in the notification shade, see it as notifications made alive.

5. no intergation in tabUI and PIE. yes. first it gets completed by reaching a stable, then comes integration.

6. The install button-gate. Google disables that button as a security measure to prevent apps from installing stuff via overlay/virtual click. without it apps could install trojans without your interaction. HALO is an overlay. no way we could have seen that - although im not sure if switching it off is the right thing.

7. speech bubbles can look garbled (on nexus7 for instance)- resolution differences. must find a way to calculate the bubble with a nine patch drawable.

... list is growing i guess.

anyway, alphas will come more often now, probably daily or in 2-3-4 day rythms until this reaches beta and stable. there is a lot of work to do.

Halo reacts to everything that triggers a tick in your notification bar.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Eneco:
On N4 yes, but on my N7 I can't find the option, so it's probably not implemented (yet?)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Eneco:
Probably a corrupted zip file. Try downloading and flashing again.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] why always me:
Before flashing ROM again try to enter recovery then do a factory reset and reboot. Used to have that boot loop problems many times before and by doing this it just solved my problems every time.

But only in case your ROM.zip is not corrupted I guess.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spankymo:
Eneco could be right. to make sure that you've downloaded the zip completely, check the md5 sum. use the md5checker app from google play.

Thanks ppl for the help despite still not able to pass that boot screen. Ended up flash back to stock and then flash PA and it works now *still don't know what is wrong.

Again thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
I rebooted with pie on and halo stayed, which I appreciate. Obviously, there is no way to turn it off/on without switching back to non-expanded desktop
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MasterJ87:
Adding buttons I believe is a ROM requirement. If the ROM doesn't support it it can't be done. But for changing icons, you can try using these. I used softkeys from here before going full-time PIE.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] threepwood960:
Thanks, it is ok, but I wanted change and add button as I do with the AOKP ROM.

I've flash the 4th May version. Do I need to factory reset in order to flash the 5th May version or just by doing dirty flash is succifient enough ? First time using PA ROM here
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stranger97:
If u were Perviously using a PA ROM no need for a factory reset. But if u want to flag any PA rom on some other ROM then a factory reset is needed :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] olygopoly:
Since Im on the 4thMay version and want to flash the 5thMay version then I do not need to factory reset. Just dirty flash & flash the 5thMay version on top of the 4thMay version right ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JLishere:
That's correct, you don't need a factory reset to update to a newer PA rom. Just install PA + gapps, wipe cache and dalvik.

No matter which UI mode I use, I can't find it!

Does it even have settings or is it automatic?

There are no settings yet, you can just activate and deactivate it.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ofer6483:
Is it only me or halo makes causes transitions to be super slow?

Looks promising though!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Suggestion: in notifications, make it so that holding down on one opens the app in halo, alternative to the regular click action determined by the app. for those times you have multiple notifications.

Messaging kills app in background

I know halo is still very alpha, that being said it seems to work pretty well. Keep up the good work.

For me it seems to work well when I get a google voice text, email, google talk, etc but when I get a regular message and click the halo it closes the app i'm in instead of letting it continue to run in the background. I think maybe this is because I'm using the cm10.1 messaging apk? Can anyone confirm this? I like cm's messaging because it allows for group threads in mms. As far as I know aospa messaging apk doesn't have a setting for a group mms message thread (similar to the *cough* iphone *cough*) is this true or am I missing something? I use group mms threads a lot with my family so it's kind of a must for me.

anyone shed some light on this? or is it just way too early to be worrying about little things like this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] joeavery2:
I'm having an issue on on my n4 with both the may 4th and may 5th builds. Halo is working well but I'm not getting the notification bar option to turn it on/off.

I'm just not sure what I did, it was there when I installed may 4th then goo manager updated me to may5th and it was gone. I've reinstalled both and it's not coming back. Any ideas?

I didn't have a problem installing an apk with halo enabled. Try using ES File Explorer to install the apk.

I couldn't install apps using titanium backup a few were fine but then it wouldnt let me press the install button.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Quetzalcoatl:
Yeah it's something built into Android for added security. The developer of the glovebox launcher ran into this problem as well and found a way to autostop the app when it detected the install screen and resume it afterwards
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cliniclyinsane:
If its built into android why have i never had this problem with dozens of other android roms?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Quetzalcoatl:
I don't know the exact reasons since I'm not a developer but I do know a lot of devs for apps like glovebox have run into this issue
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spankymo:
I guess the overlay should stay on top while you're trying to install an apk. that's when android's security feature kicks in. how many apps with overlays behave like that? perhaps those post-it apps, I'm not sure.

also, #6 here https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/Bct6hW93B7n
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
...because it is a safety feature off android that prevents layering apps from tricking you into installing malware. Imagine an app that made an overlay like halo over the installation window of an apk that made it look like a different question, tricking you into choosing yes.

You would have known this if you looked a few pages back

Yes it is and I don't think you can disable it.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] dotnetnightmare:
Lmt is much easier to activate. You touch the screen, no swiping and finding pie moved to another side or wont respond. The only draw back is the notifications does not tie in to the rom properly and shows nothing. I like pie, it's still very beta though. Prime's rom has a setting to enable or disable pie and to have expanded desktop with or without notification bar. Sound like that's what you want.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bso44:
I prefer to stay on PA. It would be nice if I could manually disable pie but it's not a deal breaker.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] KevinGee:
I downloaded last night and I flashed it without a problem. I'm running everything just fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ima.monstaaa:
Have you thought about making the Pie activation area really small and moving it to a side you don't use, then set LMT where you would prefer? Its hard enough to activate the pie with normal activation area while on the bottom, if you set it to the smallest its like its not even there.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Haano:
I havent got whatsapp on it, i just asked as this is the main thread for the paranoid android rom. i am using an s3.

however if you want whatsapp on your n7 theres tutorials on xda somewhere. I think the main concept is backup whatsapp from phone with tb, delete or freeze from phone and restore backup on tab. but i havent tried it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bso44:
Figured it out. I set Pie gravity to the top but for some reason it was staying at the bottom. I didn't know it took a reboot for that setting to take.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ima.monstaaa:
Those crosses that show up on the sides of the screen, if you hold down and drag to that location and continue to hold, the cross will grow until the pie snaps to that spot. thats the easiest way to change locations for me.

Can't find my halo no more! I had been using it for quite a while. Then, all of a sudden it disappeared and I can't put it back on. The little bubble in notifications is gone. I rebooted but nothing. Any ideas?:)

Halo more then 1 message

Love this new Halo message but when I have more then 1 message for example an email and a talk message it will only open the most recent one, how do I switch between the different messages? The Halo icon has the number 2 next to it but I couldn't work out how to go the 2 message.

About apps install button dont work, for me it was the busybox issue. As soon as my backup of busybox get installed other apps wont install except from play store. Reflash and didn't restored busybox and every thing seams to be fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] KevinGee:
You'll find it when you get another notification. If you can't find it in the status bar then is because you have it enabled.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] StrangerWeather:
Thanks, but I have had several notifications now and no sign of the halo. I wonder if I should reflash the Rom... Can't think of what else to do. Any more ideas?:)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
this is a hybrid rom, youre not forced into this and that, but you can get it anyway, if you want it. set you launcher as you prefer, make it phone, phab or tablet mode. same goes to systemUI which projects these bars. think of android as modular, everythings controlled by apps. define these apps via pa control panel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
settings/paranoid/apps/launcher. its not only the dpi, he's set it to tabUI aswell. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
its cool that you explore, thats what its all about. theres way cool stuff hidden everywhere. try setting youtube to tabUI for instance and you get a 3d interface, etc. a whole bunch of apps transform to the better. you can scale keyboards and widgets even on your homescreen (although for widgets you need another option which is not yet in the panel, you can unlock it in pad.prop though by using .force=1 after the apps name.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tremblingwater:
Just wanted to say a big thanks, this is by far the best rom, period, for this tablet. It just makes perfect sense in every department. Setting individual DPI's and modes for each app, for example - keyboard (something that was important for me as i like the layout better), is sublime.

Thank you

dont forget, its basing on cm10, which is still an infant. many functions havent been merged yet. theres toggles for phone and phabUI, but not for tab -yet. other features are merged but can be rough as things get past theit gerrit almost unchecked (for tablets). as a daily rom it should be stable, all of aosp's features should be there. cm's extras can be dinky at times. but that will change soon as they're constantly pushing updates.

im uploading a new build right now. it resets the boundaries from 160 to 360. again, this is a blind build - hope things work out.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] demandarin:
the level of customization is insane in this rom. I understand you can play with each apps dpi or whatever to experiment with different looks. is there a default button just in case the experimenting goes sour? to default back to default dpi values.

so we have choice of using one of the preset UI modes such as Phablet, Tablet or phone. or we can set each app dpi. lets say we don't want to go that deep into messing with each app dpi. so if we put it in tablet mode, that's only for the homescreen UI, right? all apps in stuff will be in phablet/stock Asus UI unless ww change dpi for those particular ones?
