Homescreen Bug

Hey I have the latest Paranoid Android 3.55 Halo on my Galaxy S3 I9300. I have a homescreen bug that has been there since I installed the update. Everytime I change my background, the image comes to the homescreen as normal but then the background becomes black and everytime I scroll through pages the icons, widgets everything! Get's copied like some kind of painting. I love this Rom so please help me :(

I can't post a link of the screenshot, because I am new user :/

Same Issue here, i think it happened after flashing the PA Gapps, I'm going to try flashing the standard Gapps package later to see if that fixes it. The options that the CM team added to the camera app is crucial if we want semi decent looking photos when compared to stock sammy roms.

Hi hi!

Just installed PA 3.55 after a full wipe and I ended quite disappointed... but wanted to ask here before as it could perfectly be some error on my side!

I did full wipe, installed PA 3.55 and booted just fine... Then it started the nightmare, when installing any App or anything it was LAGGY as hell, couldn't even interact with the device, and after installing any App it wasn't... as snappy as I'd have expect at all, far from usable...

It shouldn't be like this at all, but I really have no idea on what could I have done wrong, just Wipe from recovery, install pa, install gapps and boot... nothing else :S

Any idea, known issue? Perhaps a bad flash? Switching kernel may help to solve it (if it's i/o scheduler issue or sort of...)

Anyway will try to reflash it during the week just in case after downloading again!

hey guys!!

first things first, i must say that i'm on the i9305.

secondly, i've been trying to install version 3.55 but every time i try and flash it, it says in recovery "failed". I've downloaded it multiple times, even downloaded it from the goo manager app straight onto my phone, still to no avail.

if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it as i REALLY want halo lol

thanks

Hello all

Great rom but I have a question.

It says "Multi-Window Integrated" on rom page. Does that mean that samsung's multi-windows feature is now present in this rom? I mean, I cannot activate it by long pressing back if its present, or does it mean something else?

Yeah a little stupid question but trust me, i really dont know the development stuff and I haven't seen thread since ages so I really dont know, please clear me this point.

Multi window is the window that pops up from Halo. So yes, it is a part of Halo.

Then I got another question.

The pa team has done such extremely wonderful stuff. But why aren't they integrating multi window (samsung)? I mean, for them, it should be a piece of cake. Right?

I suppose there is some other limitation...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michaels1980:
Probably not so easy, if it was they would have already done it I guess.

I too was mistakenly thinking PA now has Samsung style multiwindow when I read the description on the first post.

So so glad to hear this! Will then try with re-download, re-wipe and re-flash! :D Did you change anything on your procedure or just... did it again?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yet the multi window feature is touted separately and will work independently of halo.

If you watch the video, it may well suit the asker's needs

https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z123jnlgzzmud1p3o22gjdub1zm1up4ng

If multi window was part of halo, it wouldn't get a separate billing on their change log

Sure, halo can work with multi window like all other apps but they are separate functions, independent

Is this just on Nexus devices then? Another google "proprietary" system like photosphere?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuertoKo:
Ermmm I guess nothing to do with that, but the googler telling CM team not to implement that as a part of they ROM, as it may turn to incompatibilities and a nightmare for developers, arguing that this may turn CM from a development on android to a fork, with it's consequences :D So guess we won't have that, just wondering why did they let Sammy implement Multi-window when it clearly needs to be adapted on the developers side (ok, you can run it with a mod, but theoretically apps should adapt to Multi-Window)... Go wonder!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Jesco-:
Sammy multiwindow will not work with ALL apps AFAIK , IF cornerstone is implemented ALL apps can be ran on it , thus causing resolution problems and API(?) problems . and Sammy multiwindow apps is really limited . (don't kill me if I'm wrong teehee :P)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunde:
I actually didn't even flash or wipe again. It just went away after a few reboots and a recharge.

To me it seemed like the lag was mostly caused by the Play Store or the process of installing apps.

It's almost like everything just needed to "settle" :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuertoKo:
Well will give it another Go, but it's quite weird it acts this way when installing apps or having huge i/o load... Maybe it's general behaviour? i was just installing a 20Mb game while (I guess) it was synching with my Gmail account.

Anyway, worth re-retrying!

+1 Yep, that's what I thought it may be the cause... But still... quite strange, anyway they know better than we do and they dropped it, so let's trust them!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michaels1980:
You can get an app in the play store that enables all apps to use Samsung multi window. I have not seen any problems so far with the apps I use in multi window mode.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well it wouldn't need porting if the sources are available. Would just need compiling, so I have made an assumption that like photosphere, the sources aren't available..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuertoKo:
But the project itself went OpenSource, that's why CM planned to implement it and was google itself who stopped them from doing that for the forking forking stuff :P

Photosphere was Google stuff on the first place and it's quite different from this case I guess, even though could be nice to have both implemented some day, but better not to make Google angry as I kinda prefer a strong AOSP/CM community "accepted" by Google than a fighting one :D

Anyway, I guess on Steve could make this clear in the end but huh, quite hard he actually reeds this, or even Xda :P

Using the latest available version of paranoid, I noticed 2 problems regarding the camera though I'm not sure if these are known problems (first time paranoid user here). First is sometimes, it seems like the camera confuses landscape with portrait. When opening the camera in portrait orientation, I would randomly get a distorted image that seems to indicate that the camera is in landscape mode, crearing a stretched image. Same goes if I rotate my phone to landscape. Closing and opening the cam app seems to fix it but it randomly comes back again.

Second problem is video recording doesn't work for me. Anyway to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Froz:
Video recording works for me.

But I have another problem related to the camera. Well, it might be a whats app problem (did not test on other apps): when I launch the camera from the share button, after shooting the image will not stand still (i.e. showing the shot in order to give it the OK ). Tried it in a gnex with pa3.56 and it works as intended.

Has someone the same problem?

Flashed 3.55 yesterday and using GO SMS for my messaging. When I get a message the led blinks green like I am used to, but stops when the screen turns off. How can I prevent it turning off?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysterVie:
I'm not quite sure if this is the right forum, but I guess it should be as I cannot post in Dev PA thread. And I also tried to search within the thread and couldn't find anything so I hope this is not a repeated question.

After a fullwipe I flashed PA 3.55 onto my S3 and it seemd like everything worked fine. But I encountered a problem with my touchscreen. As I have some APKs from XDA forums I wanted to install them but I couldn't tap on the "Install" button that shows, if you are about to install a third party APK file. I checked the box in the settings to allow installation of third party APKs, so that shoudn't be a problem. Unfortunately this also happens within some apps like "Helium - App Sync and Backup".

So after some time and reflashing and wiping and stuff I accidentially found out it was due to PA's Halo app. If you swipe down the statusbar you can click on the Halo icon, so that it starts to float or bump up if some notifications come along. When this happens my problem starts with the "Install" button and some other apps. I just can't tap the hole "Install" button, but everything around it works just fine (I attached a screenshot for better visuality).

So it when the Halo app floats on the screen it seems the right bottom corner of the touchscreen is not responding/working. When you disable it, so it's back in the statusbar if you swipe down, everything seems to work as it's supposed to. But still it kind of feels like the bottom right corner of the touchscreen is very slow to understand responses. It seems like as if sometimes there is a "lag" in the response or no response at all if I touch the right corner of my touchscreen.

I attached a screenshot where I highlighted the area that I mean. Is there a workaround for it?

It's not really a question per se, but I wanted to point that out and think that I may not be the only one with this kind of problem.
