[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Ashade:
Thank you very much for your advices. Perhaps, I never said I had ramdom reboots, but I wanted to answer because I solved the problem. I am going to re-explain my problem for the record, just in case somebody else is experiencing the same.

My problem is that after a certain period of time, I was running out of RAM, which lead to forced closes and ramdom crashes of apps and the launcher itself, in addition to a general slow down of the whole system. This meant that I had to reboot my tablet periodically to get it back to a normal working behavior. If you looked at the running processes, you couldn´t see any or almost any of them. As I didn´t have enough RAM, most of the basic processes where sporadically dissapering, killing the basic functionality of the tablet, and getting and overall freezing. I hope this explained the problem. This bug is known since 4.2 and got worse with 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, and since any ROM as been updating accordingly, all of them where dragging this problem. Basically it remained in the fact that the memory dedicated to graphics was increasing continuously, not cleaning up and devoring the free RAM. If you use to shut down your tablet at night, you might not noticed this problem.

Now, that said, I solved the problem by moving to AOKP, that apparently had solved this common, and known bug from google side. I installed Revolt (no clean installation needed, by the way) and everything has come back to what it should have been from the very beginning. Now, if I clean apps from the recent app list, my RAM memory comes back. Therefore, I am now able to load webpages of more than 100mb, because I passed from having from 80 to 20mb of free RAM memory, to constantly have between 400 and 500mb, as it should have been from the very beginning for a device of 2gb of RAM.

I hope somebody finds this useful. I am running Revolt + KTManta. In any case, I think nobody should have to move to a custom ROM to solve a factory software defect, and I am still of the opinion that this problem should be addressed and solved by google.

You should basically try another launcher. Try nova, apex or go launcher, perhaps somebody else can give you other recommendations.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
want a real big update really... it might be skipped. though apparently some bug with windowed stuff like xda was fixed but idk what it was
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Ashade:
As stated before, they didn´t fix the problem. It works much better and the problem is delayed, but you can still find some RAM leakage. The way to see the problem is to massively use youtube, you will see how the RAM keeps going down keeping the same amount of processes or less.

Is not bad as a temporal solution either, just try avoiding Youtube, or restarting once a day.

Latest updated build of PA 3.55 (HALO6) is available on goo, and the link has been posted to the OP.

Apologies to the flashaholics for the delay, had some technical issues.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Carter0108:
So the biggest two features of this ROM, tablet mode and halo, can't be used together? Seems... odd...
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] leeznon:
Do I need to factory reset from original to halo ROM?

edit: nevermind. how do we use halo?!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
Google music hinges on a different context than its own, its always been this way.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

yes they do. you dont get ticking from halo since tablet has a ticker already. but it functions the rest just the same

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

yes :p

in phone/phablet ui, look for the halo trigger in the notification shade
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] leeznon:
Thanks

Ok, it doesn't work in tablet UI at first.

So you need to do phone ui.

Then switch back to tablet ui and halo's still there! It also works in pie mode
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
hehe, told ya you should a skipped the a6 update :P
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] leeznon:
Warning, you can't install apk with halo enabled. Disable it to install them

Update: PA-3.56 HALO7

Latest updated build of PA 3.56 (HALO7) is available on goo, and the link has been posted to the OP.

Link to updated gapps (22-May-2013) version also posted.

FYI, I will be on holiday for the next week, and expect to be somewhat network challenged, so probably no additional updates here until I return late next week. Of course this means that you can expect new features like powering your phone from cosmic background radiation to be released during that time.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Carter0108:
I'm sorry but there just isn't any way of activating Halo in tablet ui. It just isn't there.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
no, not activating, but once its activated, you can switch back to tablet ui. just dont disable halo or make it auto hide since it will not tick while in tablet ui
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I enabled halo earlier while in phablet UI, then switched to tablet UI and it disappeared. No biggy since I can use phablet and mess with the dpi. (I also switched to expanded desktop when attempting to go tablet with halo

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Carter0108:
I now have an issue where in tablet mode, notifications constantly flash at me. I'm assuming it's something to do with halo but I can't disable it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] creedicd:
How do you disable halo?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] leeznon:
Phone ui, notification drawer, push the Halo button top right
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] creedicd:
Thanks for the quick response. I might be too dumb to use this... So I switched to phone ui under settings / hybrid properties / interface

I've also tried changing by going under launcher and picking default UI

In either case the notification Window doesn't contain the Halo box/button

Obviously the button was there to enable it.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] leeznon:
If you switch to phone ui you should see it. The notification drawer (not quick settings) has a halo button. That button is on the top right corner near the button to clear all notifications.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jaykeeley:
really wish I'd checked here instead of spending an hour working it out on my own :eek:
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
yeah, updates to notifications there aren't being ignored. not sure why but mole I'm sure is working on it
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rrand:
Hi guys. Have a quick question.

When I turn on halo and switch back to tablet mode, halo no longer shows notifications. I can only get halo to work when the notification panel is at the top left of the screen. (Landscape mode.) The problem with this is that the quick buttons on the bottom dock slide to the middle. That's one of the main reasons I switch to PA, was to move the buttons by my left thumb so I don't have to reach at the center all the time.

Isn't it possible to use halo and have soft keys on the left?

Thanks.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bhake:
Not yet. It's early preview alpha stage. See screenshot below.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] creedicd:
Still don't see the button to disable. however I did figure out that if you long press halo itself a little X pops up I will the middle of the screen. You can drag halo to the X and remove halo.

Thanks again for the help!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
yes, you need to turn on halo, make sure the options that hide halo are turned off. halo will not tick because tablet already ticks....

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

you dont see the button there cause that was never the way to disable halo.(who told you that?)

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

elaborate?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rrand:
It doesn't seem to work for me. Halo never shows any icons. Is it possible to see it work by taking a screenshot? Because that's the way I'm using to test it. Thanks for letting me know it's possible.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
yes. any currently present notifications will show through the halo.

it will not tick however. this means if its auto hidden, it will not bring itself up. try switching to phone ui, disable auto hide, and go expanded desktop. trigger a notify, then switch .
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rrand:
Thanks, that seemed to work. But I can't slide between the notifications. It looks like I have to pop them off the stack one at a time. Is that how it works?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
halo presents two sets of gestures.

swiping to go through them with double tap hold/longhold to move.

the option to revers gestures just flips those.

use the halo))) app to fill out some notifications to play with.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rrand:
I kind of know how it's supposed to work because I played with it a while in the phone layout. Using the halo))) app just kind of confirms to me it's not working because I can only select the last app pinned using the same gestures.

Thanks for your time and help.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
no problem. next suggestion isn't as pretty but full wipe and try again?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rrand:
You're right. Not pretty! lol. But what the heck. Maybe I'll try it.

Thanks.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Reginalb124:
Did you turn it on in the notification bar?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Vashypooh:
That's what I mean. There is no such option.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Reginalb124:
You disable halo by grabbing it, like when you're moving it, and drag it to the X at the top of the home screen. Same way you would remove anything else from your launcher.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] iamikon:

Hi,

I've the same problem with the last alpha release....

But i never tested before because I didn't have cable.

Try test with a Nandroid (stock rom) when i can.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] purmou:
There are other factors in charging speed besides the milliampage...I feel like the max input on USB has been turned down. That's the difference, by the way, between USB and Pogo-- the pogo allows more input and therefore a larger inflow of electrons.

Has anybody else's launcher been weird after 3.55? Pic attached. It's down to seven icons in the dock versus 9, and each home screen takes up the whole screen rather than having a slight margin.

Remote Update

Happened to end up somewhere with a minimally functional network connection for a little bit, and I am working to build and upload to MediaFire. I currently don't have the time/bandwidth to test, so will need people to try it out and report back to the community

Currently pushing updates to MediaFire via the following link:

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/y286s1ovd8gy6/PA-HALO

The toro, toroplus, and manta builds are up.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] purmou:
I have around 1MB/sec. A bit of fluctuation though.

EDIT: Finished and installed--now the Halo app keeps crashing.

EDIT: Okay stuff is better--I figured out the launcher error (dumb mistake...) But now every time I change the rows/columns, it reverts to 5x8 (I keep trying to change it to 8x5)

Sent from my Nexus 10
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] je55ter:
I noticed the same thing. I don't mind the lack of margins, but I've been scouring the options trying to figure out how to go back up to 8+1 icons in the dock and have had no luck so far.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] purmou:
I figured that out--touch and hold on an empty area and then click launcher settings.

I fixed everything else but now it's stuck on 5x8 instead of 8x5...ugh

EDIT: FINALLY. I got the grid. But now the lack of margins makes it so that if I drag an icon to either edge, it switches to the next page.

this whole ordeal was really frustrating. In the grid editor, it switches the rows and columns every time you change them. Even though I have 5 rows and 8 columns, the grid option says 8 rows and 5 columns. Very frustrating. And the lack of margins, or at least the option to have them thereof, makes this nearly unusable. What went wrong? Or is there an easy fix?

FINAL EDIT: okay, I think the problem is that the ”stretch home screens” feature is always on for some reason, even when unchecked. Anybody know a fix?

Guys, I think I'm going cray cray. I can't get Halo to activate no matter what I do. I've done a fresh install. When I set it to Phablet or Phone mode it just doesn't seem to take. Same thing with setting an app like Youtube to 720. There are no changes after applying. Even after reboot, the changes that I've made are back to the original settings. What the hell am I not doing right?

I am. Having issues beaming from my S4 to the N10. :/

Edit: To be more specific, I CAN beam. It just takes a lot more fiddling around than it used to. Takes me like 2 minutes to get the sensor to work, and then even then, the connection gets lost almost instantly unless it remains perfectly still.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dakunesu:
this sounds like a weak signal to the NFC chips. I've had no problem with n10 vs other devices, so my natural assumption is an issue on the s4 side.

make sure both devices NFC are at their closest points to each other and try again .
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bhatbhai:
Although that would be the logical assumption, I didn't have problems with NFC until flashing PA two days ago. My S4 hasn't changed, so PA seems to be my issue unless it's just a very odd coincidence.

But if others aren't having problems with NFC, I'll certainly reflash it and see if that does the trick.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] purmou:
It is nearly impossible for me to beam to my mom's S3, but I can beam fine to my brother's N7, which is also running PA. Haven't tested with other non-PA devices. With the S3, it's exactly as you described (connection takes forever and is instantly lost).
