How do you get halo to start. Shouldn't there be an app to control what apps you want to add in it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hiquin:
simple search on the appstore for halo gives you the following:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLnBhcmFub2lkLmhhbG8iXQ..

it's just the app that lets you pin apps to halo(so it's not just notifications), it's not halo itself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex2x3:
Check out the halo app in the play store, it lets you pin apps to it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo

How is everyone feeling about halo? It's kinda cool but not as convenient as I thought it would be, but that's probably because I'm just getting used to it. My phones crazy hot and is charging pretty slow though anyone notice any differences in performance or battery life?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
The Halo app from the market allows you to have constant apps in it, by default its only for notifications.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai7314:
Gotcha. I wasn't enen getting it to be able to start. Had to change to stock ui to select it on. I like the glass look to it. Much better than what comes with pa to me.

This Rom has the same Game Issues that CarbonRom was having, when I try to play Shadowgun Deadzone the game will Randomly Close out on me. I can't even get into a round before it kicks me out the Game.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Yes it does work to use it go to system settings --> apps ---> "Select any app" ---> Then check the box labeled "Blacklist HALO notifications"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] qowndnjs1:
Actually, it's not only Shadowgun. I had problems with Infinity Space and one other game (which I don't remember the name since I removed it :P), as they kept kicking out of the game giving me a FC message.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
Yes, its a Games Issues. Idk what it is but Carbon got it fixed even though the games seem to freeze a little still. Hope this issue can get fixed soon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 850T5m:
You're awesome lol, thanks

Another question tho, my halo stopped working...it shows, it pings, when I click to open whatever notification, they open as they should, but whatever was running in the background closes. It just started doing this out of the blue...kinda opposite of what should happen lol

Any ideas?

HALO FAQ

HALO FAQ (some most discussed topics after day #1 with HALO on RootBox):

How to configure HALO?

There are three places where you configure HALO behavior:

1. Settings > RootBox Settings > HALO Settings where you configure basic HALO Notifications behavior

2. Settings > Apps > [Any App options] where you enable / disable concrete app Blacklist / Whitelist entry

3. Paranoid Android HALO))) App from Play Store where you configure apps for persistent notifications in so called floating mode.

What are options in Settings > RootBox Settings > HALO Settings?

- HALO policy allows you to choose between Blacklist (default) or Whitelist policy. In Blacklist mode are notifications from all app ON by default and you can explicitly configure some of them not to show HALO notifications by entering them to Blacklist. In Whitelist mode are notifications from all app OFF by default and you can explicitly configure some of them to show HALO notifications by entering them to Whitelist.

- Hide HALO after activity (disabled by default) allows you (if enabled) to hide HALO circle shortly after notification appears.

- Reverse HALO gestures changes behavior of dragging / tapping on HALO circle. Better to play with it or watch some youtube videos than describe this... Basics are: If enabled (default), then dragging is for tasking and double-tap swipe allows you to position circle or delete / deactivate it. If disabled, functions are reversed.

How to Blacklist / Whitelist apps?

Go to Settings > Apps > [Any App options] and there right under "Show notifications" checkbox you find either "Blacklist HALO notifications" or "Whitelist HALO notifications" according to policy set in HALO policy options.

What can I do using Paranoid Android HALO))) App?

Add some apps like Email, Gmail, Messaging, etc. using "+" button, press ">" button and you will see... You will have persistent notification in floating mode for those chosen apps. Try to drag HALO circle and you will get it.

How can I disable / deactivate HALO? (I don't want to see the circle on my screen)

Depending on your "Reverse HALO gestures" option:

- If enabled (default), then try quickly double-tap & swipe the circle. By this you will be able to position the circle or deactivate it by moving it to "trash".

- If disabled, then you can directly drag the circle. By this you will be able to position the circle or deactivate it by moving it to "trash".

How can I enable it again?

When HALO is deactivated, you can see special button in upper line of Notification drawer, that will activate it.

How can I uninstall HALO completely?

You can't. It is integral part of the ROM. You can only choose not to use it.

What if I cannot install .apk?

Wait for the next Nightly/Stable build. This will be solved. If you can't wait, then disable HALO, install what you need and enable it again.

Where can I find further information?

Take a look at this video by Oode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex2x3:
Thanks for the FAQ really helpful. The video overview is awesome too.

I'm still having a problem with apps closing when I open something through halo, let's say a text message while writing this post. Xda will close and I'll be sent to my home page. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this still just early problems?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I'm still having issues with "trace" keyboards (swype, android, etc) randomly they'll just freeze while i'm swyping and close and i'll have to reopen them. I did a 100% clean install of the latest nightly. Not sure what's causing the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex2x3:
I'm using Swype and having absolutely no problems. On today's nightly coming from the stable release, with a full wipe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Are you using the stock kernel? And/or any themes?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex2x3:
Latest Bms current, and no themes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Hmmmm i wonder if its because i swype extremely fast. I'll have to slow it down and see if that fixes it.

6/11 Nightly

Seems to be the most stable but I don't understand why when I review the change log, does not look like much has changed ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai7314:
So I'm having a hard time installing apps that I have saved on my sdcard. It was fine when I updated but I kept getting a few errors right after boot. So I tried a clean install and the errors are gone but now I can't install the apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
If HALO is activated then you won't be able to sideload apps, disactivate HALO and then you'll be fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hannibal226:
New builds will get builded (20130612)

But I can't upload it to my mirrors today. So use goo.im downloads or the basketbuild servers, as far as they are finished ;)

I have one more question about the camera. I'm on the 06/11/13 nightly. I did a full wipe before flashing.

True View is on by Default, but when I check the settings its not turned on. So I toggle it on/off. Is this normal?

Also, even after I toggle it on and off, the camera seems to be distorted, assumed it was hybrid settings but its set on default size. Any ideas?

If this issue is only concerning me please let me know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Tick use external on then off and it should be fixed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Having the exact same issue. Clean install of 6/11 nightly, using Swype from play store. Dang keyboard freezes s lot, I'll try to generate a log cat.

Also can't seem to install any apps except via play store, came here searching for help on that issue.

Edit: I see above that the install issue is Halo related.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I knew I couldn't be the only one with that issue. The beta worked flawlessly and I had to verify the issue with a clean install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yeeahnick:
I have the exact same problem and i also have to toggle True View on and off to get rid of the black bars but my image is still distorted. The only way to fix the image is to rotate the camera and it fixes it until you close the camera app. I have tried the external sd fix suggested but still did not fix the distortion. Im about to try the camera from another ROM cause i know i did not have that issue on PA

HALO is f'n money folks, seriously! it takes the multi-window function from TW and adds a sleeker and innovative spin on it. I suggest reading up on it and making urself familiar..

just a tidbit, you have to DISABLE HALO if you want to install apps from your SD card.

After keeping my phone unplugged and going on a phone call, my phone battery has not drained near as fast as it did previously. However, I was sitting in the same spot with a good signal, so it seems like there was some weirdass thing where the fluctuating bad signal could have caused a nasty battery drain. Next time I see it I'll get a more comprehensive report.

Sometimes during the phone call the signal goes away and I have to wait a minute for it to reconnect.
