Wow, yeah, I had this happen a long time ago when upgrading from PA 1.5b to the PA 1.9+'s or so, that in 720px mode the whole status bar / notification bar area just wouldn't reappear after upgrading to the newer roms set - very frustrating. I remember somewhere in the PA forum that they mentioned this also, that you need to wipe your system, esp. for a certain version interval upgrade, though I don't remember exactly which - so I think it has something to do with the data for SystemUI.apk or the PA system hybrid system involving that, very step-change different for the version change, though not sure exactly what they did.

Anyway, I remember trying clearing dalvic cache and clearing the data to SystemUI.apk several times, rebooting a few times but I just still couldn't resolve that, until I flashed back to the older version rom - only then the 720px status bar suddenly reappeared.:crying:

So finally, I just went thru whole the hassle of flashing the newer rom and resetting it to factory default clearing all my applications, old data settings for the whole rom setup that I'd been dirty flashing over successfully for many, many rom versions, even from dedicatedly using AOKP only to finally trying and liking PA (PA is more stable, though soft keys aren't as developed as AOKP), and just re-installed all my applications to how I like them - and did a backup of that to recovery as a new recovery point with the newer PA rom sets just in case.

But that was overkill for me, as I never clear my whole system and re-install everything for avoiding the shear hassle of it, and never even do a task 29 either for that matter.

Anyway, since then re-doing the whole system I haven't seen the 'disappearing status bar' for 720px again:fingers-crossed:, just hasn't been an issue anymore, ..just had to go thru that one big hassle of step-change up to the 1.9+, 2.+ PA roms - that did it for me.

Anyway, good luck with that.:fingers-crossed:

I noticed this esp. with the latest Swype beta over the just prev. beta (not sure of the version nos interval) that the Swyp'ng function would fail after several hours which I use mostly with Jota+ text editor.

The Swyp'ng works, but just that after several hours or overnight of not using the keyboard, it will suddenly fail to swipe only allowing type. I thought maybe android's 'oom' memory manage might have somehow dropped part of the program out of memory as I hadn't been using it for a while and the swyp'ng functions couldn't recoup from that for some reason - anyway, switching to another keyboard and then switching back to Swype and manually killing the task didn't restore the swyp'ng either, and only forcing a soft-reboot resolved that - which seemed overkill to me.

Anyway, I'm biased to think it's because of the newer Swype beta, not the PA roms, because I didn't have this much issue with it on the just prev. beta on all the PA 2.+ roms.

Also, try using TouchPal 'curve' instead for Swyping, which will prob- work just as well for the messaging apps ..and it uses less memory, and though only that Swype's word correction is much better in my opinion.
