Coming from beta 6, seems my battery is taking a beating on beta 8.

Also Lockscreen rotation option is still irrelevant (broken).

Still enjoying PA and tablet-mid mode.

That's what expanded desktop is for, right? Thats how I use it anyway. Setting the nav bar height to 0 eliminates navigation altogether. Seems like an unrecoverable oopsie waiting to happen.

how do i reset it, is it in the pa settings?

you can always reflash the rom to return it to stock settings, no big loss if you dont mind losing all the app prefrences

Does anyone know how to fix the date not showing with am/PM (small) enabled with tablet ui. I fixed it previously by disabling it then re enabling it with small. But now it doesn't work with that quick fix. Any tips appreciated
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Rrrracer:
Thank you, I will give that a shot, hopefully it works. At this point I am about ready to just pay the six bucks again to regain functionality but I will wait to hear from Titanium and see what the official take is :)

Thanks everyone for taking the time to try and help me out. Normally I am able to figure this stuff out for myself (thus my low post count lol) but this one has me stumped.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jombo2323:
err, you could try what i did instead of using the tablet settings, you could just go and set everything to 1000p in settings and it automatically puts it in tablet ui without changing the dpi
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CharFalco:
I agree that it could be dangerous, but the navigation bar is equally unusable at 10 or 20 percent normal size as at zero. Plus as long as notifications show, its easy to get into settings, paranoid settings, interface, and change it if something goes wrong. I'm not suggesting that its a good idea for everyone, just that when you do use that setting, recent apps and launcher spaz out.

Edit. Additionally, used to be that when you hid navigation bar without using Expand Desktop- part of CM which I know isn't in this anymore- you'd get a little `clear recent` button up in the gradient area. That doesn't happen anymore, at 0 percent Nav Bar or any other size. Any chance of that coming back someday? I'm sure its not a priority, but...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kazemitsui:
You know funny thing. I restarted my tablet for the umpteenth time and it finally worked. I honestly have no clue why it works now...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] 0355:
Just updated to beta 8 few hours ago.

No issues, seems smoother than beta 6 but it could be a placebo effect....

Enabled colors and ended up with stuck battery/wifi indicators, then touched again on paranoid colors and indicators are again fully functional while colors seem still enabled....

Lockscreen setting for portrait/landscape still broken.

Very pleased with this new beta, kudos to Aaron and paranoidandroid team in general.

EDIT

after a while battery/wifi indicators went again haywire... There's no way to have colors and them both functional at the moment.

My battery icons etc werent relating to the actual stat.

Try restarting a few times.

PS - Loving PA!! first proper custom ROM installed and love it.

I stuck at 2.54 for a while, but took the plunge to 2.99 Beta 8. Love it !
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
I was thinking a reboot would get you back to the home screen, so its not that bad. Still, it seems illogical to choose to eliminate the nav bar that way, as opposed to the existing expanded desktop, when a reboot is the first and only recovery option should things go awry.

Dave
[Nexus 7 Original Development] 0355:
Thanks but I tried many reboots and the solid icons tend to come back sooner or later...

It doesn't bother me too much as I have a battery widget on home screen and wifi strength is something I just don't look at. Is just a cosmetic flaw to me, but I obviously hope it will be fixed.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nosferatu.:
I don't know if it's a ROM bug or Kernel bug but I found an issue.

When booting device with headphones in any attempt to adjust volume by either the hardware buttons or settings causes said app to force close. Unplug headphones readjust volume and plug them back in and works fine. Weird but reproducible.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] o0boiboi0o:
There is a known issue which is when trying to raise volume, certain apps (Like MX Player) wil FC. Apparently there is a gitch that disallow user to raise volume.

Also, kindly refrain from reporting issue with WiFi/Battery indication error when u are using PA Colour function. Its a known issue already. When using colour per app, there will be an issue with the icons.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
For me, Apex will FC as well if I try to raise the volume with the headset plugged in.

O also figured out why. It happens when your headset volume is already above the safe level when you plug it in. If you lower the headset volume to below the safe level before you unplug them, when you plug them back in there's no FC

Maybe I'm being an idiot...which is more then likely...but, installed yesterday, everything working perfectly. In fact my Nexus 7 is running better then it ever has since coming out the box. But when I try to set a wallpaper from the gallery, no matter how I set it, it's always off centre, and zoomed in. Is this a known issue, or just me being stupid?

What's that on your notification bar? How do I get one?

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

A workaround is to lower the volume first and THEN raise it, it will ask you if you're sure you want to raise the volume above safe levels.

That said, the issue seems to be gone (at least for me) in Beta 8.

I'm kinda new to PA, but I do notice gradient banding on a few gray and black screens. At work now, but I'll see if I can get screenshot when I get home. Normally horizontal bands. That is, left to right when in portrait.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
Did you adjust the crop tool? When you set a background image it asks if you want to use the gallery crop tool. If you do, you'll get a screen with your background image and a crop tool with drag points. Adjust it how got want it to look. The center of the image will be the center of your middle home screen, if you have an odd number of screens, or between the middle two if you have an even number. From there the OS will try to fit what you picked into your current screen orientation.

If you already knew all that, my apologies.

Yeah I used the crop tool. Weird thing is the portrait wallpaper is fine, it's the landscape one that gets messed up!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Stuphologist:
I had a weirdness. The Play store was updating the Make Your Own Clock widget application and the N7 locked up tight. Rebooted, and it wouldn't come back up. Went to the boot loader and restarted, only got to the Google screen. Reinstalled the kernel (twice, because that's how my N7 rolls) and it came back up.

I posted this over in the M-Kernel thread, because it seems more like a kernel issue, but I really don't know so here it is. Could, of course, be a random oddity too.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ezas:
I noticed the same thing but since I couldn't swear it wasn't there before, and I don't notice it during normal use, I just chalked it up to one of those things.

Slow boot appears to be due to running boatloader 3.14 with a 4.2 kernel. Boot into.boatloader and check version then if necessary update the boot loader to 4.13. Google 'nexus 7 bootloader 4.13' for info.

Just make sure you are using an up-to-date recovery and you will be fine. Everything will be moved to /sdcard/0

So don't freak out.

But a backup is always a good ideas when making a big jump. You never know. Backup your apps and your media. And backup to a cloud or to your home computer along with your local backup. Then do a nandroid backup in recovery. And you will be pretty well covered.

Oh and just to be clear its the flash to android 4.2 that fools with your storage not this ROM.

Safe volume warning

Reported here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40365 - and how could a developer know if the volume was too loud - it depends on what I plug into the headphone socket - some headphones need a higher level output for the same volume, and when I plug it into my hi-fi system, I am not even wearing headphones - this warning is pointless and should be removed.

How can I move the three buttons on bottom (Back, Home and Close) from center to the left hand side, while still keeping the Stock UI and not changing it to Tablet UI?

I flashed two different zips that claimed to have bootloader 4.13, and my bootloader version is still 3.14. (Anyone else notice that the version numbers are palindromes?) The first one I did a few days ago, and it corrected the problem of having to be attached to my laptop to get to recovery after a hang. I located, downloaded, and flashed the other one (bootloader-grouper-4.13.zip) just now, to no noticeable effect.

There's another thread, and I'm going to have a look. Thought I'd share here, though, since the issue has come up.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrDrift42:
That is incorrect. It will be moved to /data/media/0/

The data will still be in /sdcard/ since this is just a symlink to /data/media/0/

If you have a /sdcard/0/ folder, something went wrong along the way.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bmakk2055:
I keep getting that 0 folder for some reason, with twrp and cwm recovery. I notice some roms make different directors. What method did you use to root?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
It's your recovery. You need to be on either TWRP2.3.2.1 or CWM6.0.1.9, as they are the 4.2-friendly versions. Any recovery prior to those will not handle the new directory structure properly.

It's not that some roms make different dirs, it's the difference between 4.1 roms and 4.2 roms. 4.2 introduced multi-user support, which swaps the symlinks for user-specific directories depending on which user is logged in. 4.1 didn't have multi-user support, so those symlinks were static.

You can't have independent data for two different users in the same /data directory.

Question: if I extract the image file and flash via the bootloader, does that erase everything on the tablet? I may be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that it does.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ezas:
I have to disagree. I have had /sdcard/0 (but never more than that) since flashing 4.2 and have seen many references to /sdcard/0 in posts all over the N7 threads. All I can say is I find more of what I'm looking in /sdcard/0 except for boat browser which is in /sdcard. Some people copy their data up to /sdcard but I never bothered.

/sdcard/0 is for the original user even if there isn't any other users. I haven't added a user but I believe they get get /sdcard/01 but I am not sure about that.

Multiple /sdcard/0/0 files like this are not right and happens when flashing with an old version of recovery.

But since they're symlinks it doesn't really matter where you go get your files does it?

But I'm always open to corrections if I'm wrong.

If you completely flash all those files in the Google factory images, you will lose all your data (because of the userdata file that you would flash).
