^ can confirm this bug was coming here to report it also

Play store icon keeps disappearing from bottom row. Happened on the 4.4.1 build as well as this latest 4.4.2 version

Just seems to disappear randomly, can't replicate the disappearance anyway

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Running Art + latest Franco kernel

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Also fwiw it seemed to start happening after an update to Google Search app which somehow also changed the number of landscape icons across from 6 to 5 and ditches the search bar in landscape mode

Could be completely unrelated just something I noted

For me Chrome disappears every time I restart. I move the shortcut back to my home screen on the bottom right and every time I restart is gone. Not big deal. Just strange.

I use TWRP as well, what is the error message? can you tell us more details.

For your nexus 4 maybe look at the bootloader thing , I personally use andreson's ROM,

is quite stable and nice, for my Nexus & i use this purity ROM
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xR3BorNx:
As far as I know about flashing ROMs. You should first flash the stock android 4.4 on your 4.3 (adb). I know it will erase your internal sd. But if your ROM was built in 4.3 then upgraded to 4.4 I guess you can just dirty flash it. Btw. You should get TWRP 2.6 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sk8erbg207:
What's the easiest way to upgrade TWRP? I'm the kind of person who gets their bootloader when they get their device and then only flashes roms/kernels and forgets how to do it lol.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SITH16:
Down load flash image gui from the play store, and do a google for TWRP...Once you get the recovery image from TWRP you can flash it with flash image gui right out of android.

Yoh everyone,

R U using the new 12/14/2013 pa gaaps 4.2.2 version released (and linked) the same time purity was updated to 4.2.2????

I'am and have none of the phantom issues lots of folks are talkin about with regards to this release

I'm using m-kernel a65 with no runs, drips or errors...... solid as a rock here.....

Using Banks standard gapps and Franco r76 here with no issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lolcopter:
i am using the 12/14 version of the pa gapps

i'm like 99% sure this was my setup on the 4.4.1 build and i still had the same issue.

just did a fresh reboot of KK 4.4.2 KOT49H build, 12/14 PA gapps, running ART, franco76 and the play store icon disappeared again from the bottom row. as previously mentioned, not a deal breaker by any means just a weird quirk / minor bug

(chrome icon is fine fwiw, only play store disappears)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lembang:
Same here 4.4.2 of GApps (12/14) with oxydo kernel, basically I tried, the stock kernel, franco kernel and oxydo kernel, all the same issue. I agree with lolcopter, is just weird not a major issue, but it will be nice, if it can be fixed :victory:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bonzer2u:
must be cuz Im not runnin ART.....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CruiseMod:
Anyone else with the same problem ?

I have updated also to 4.4.2 but this bug insist to exist.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lolcopter:
the missing icons big appears to possibly be related to the Google Experience launcher and not a specific rom/hardware going of this post on Q&A

I know the bootloader thing has been mentioned again and I am sorry to bring it up again, but I have a problem. I am currently on 4.2.2 with bootloader 4.18.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
I use to use adw and nova all the time. No problems. The launcher on 4.4.2 is causing some minor issues so I reinstalled nova and ads. It will launch, but pressing home doesn't give the option to select nova or adw. I go into apps to clear defaults for the stock launcher and they're greyed out. Any thoughts? Did you run into this?

disappearing icon/launcher

it appears the issue is the launcher as many have reported. does anyone use an alternate launcher? i can't change mine. adw is installed, but hitting home does just that. takes me home. no option to select which launcher. the option to clear defaults under apps is grayed out.

as i said it's grayed out. i have root privileges, but can't switch launchers.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] uzi2:
Just by activating Nova from the app drawer should set it as default, but there is now Settings->DEVICE->Home where you can select your launcher. Is it this that's greyed out?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
No. What's grayed out is "clear defaults" under settings, apps, launcher.

How long is the first boot supposed to be?

I just installed this ROM after a full wipe, ~7 minutes have passed and I still see the boot animation.

Is ART pre-activated? I don't know too much about ART, but I remember reading that the boot up ( especially the first time ) it can take very long.

EDIT: I let it like this for around 15 minutes and nothing was happening. Just the boot animation. Eventually I rebooted it in TWRP, wiped cache and dalvik cache and now I'm at the second attempt at booting up.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
rebbot time

for ME if i switch to ART and reboot (or reflash the rom and reboot) it takes 30sec to get to and pass the

kitkat boot animation. then it starts the processing of each app as it optimizes them. for ME it counts up

from 1 to 168. (number of apps i guess.) that takes almost 30min before i get to my home screen.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] NetFluke:
USB Audio volume control option

Dear DariosF,

This is one of the best ROMs I've tested in last 3 weeks and now use it as my primary. I was able to patch services.jar (many thanks to jacknorris) to enable USB DAC hotplug and it worked perfectly. However, there is a common weakness in all ROMs, because there's no option to control AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_ACCESSORY volume (it's either max or mute). Again, jacknorris proposed a small patch to AudioPolicyManagerBase.cpp, which can deal with this issue:

// if volume is not 0 (not muted), force media volume to max on digital output

if (stream == AudioSystem::MUSIC &&

index != mStreams[stream].mIndexMin &&

(device == AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_AUX_DIGITAL ||

device == AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_DGTL_DOCK_HEADSET ||

device == AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_ACCESSORY ||

device == AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_DEVICE)) {

return 1.0;

}

If the line shown in red is removed, Android will be able to adjust USB DAC volume, according to jacknorris. However, his volume control patch is not compatible with 4.2.2 and later Android versions (audio_policy.default.so module does not load).

I'm wondering if you may consider implementing this patch in future releases or, maybe, it's possible just to make a custom audio_policy.default.so. Unfortunately, as a noob I do not have necessary skills to compile this module myself.

Thank you again for all your efforts and an excellent ROM.

Happy Holidays!:D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] andrew9292:
How did you patch with jacknorris's? I either get 'no suitable patch found for 4.4.2' or 'unable to parse'... Both in which it does nothing?

Plus i needed to pull the latest adb file from the android sdk or it will be suck at 'waiting for device'.

Mind sharing how u did it? What kernel you use it with?

Also, +1 for a full usb audio framework incl volume control.

IMO no 4.4.2 rom out there is smoother or as reliable as purity.

My daily driver alongside timur's cm10.1 rom on multirom when i use usb audio which is a hassle plus its nowhere as smooth n lacks all the updates.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NetFluke:
Patching services.jar

This is what I did:

Installed LeanKernel 3.0 (oxydo v14 works too)

Verified DAC operation when connected before boot - worked.

nandroid backup - A MUST!

Installed JRE 1.6u45 on my PC and added C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\ to PATH (location of java.exe)

Unzipped attached "apktoolmod v1.5.2.zip" into any directory (I used c:\1)

Retrieved services.jar from Nexus 7 (use root explorer and copy it from /system/framework to /storage/emulated/legacy/0)

Copied services.jar from Nexus to c:\1\

Make a copy of original services.jar > services-new.jar

Decompiled services.jar using "apktool d services.jar ./out"

In c:\1\out\smali\com\android\server dir you'll see WiredAccessoryManagerxxx.smali files

Open attached "4.2.1.zip" from jacknorris patch and unzip all smali files into c:\1\out\\smali\com\android\server. Some old ones will get overritten.

Recompile services.jar with "apktool b ./out services.jar". Disregard "Could not find resources", it's normal.

In c:\1\out\build\apk\ dir you'll find new classes.dex file. Open services-new.jar with WinRAR or 7zip and replace classes.dex inside with new one.

Transfer services-new.jar to /system/framework on Nexus, change ownership to root:root and permissions to rw-r-r-.

Rename original services.jar to services-old.jar and services-new.jar to services.jar

Reboot to recovery, clear cache/dalvik and reboot.

To fall back use nandroid or just rename back the original services.jar file (deleting new one first) and reboot.

I know it's a dirty method but this is only one I was able to use with my limited knowledge. I'm sure there are better ways.

Results:

1. USB DAC hotplug works!:good:

2. When DAC is unplugged, speakers kick in.:good:

3. Volume control for speakers works, for DAC it's either max or mute.

4. Headphones DO NOT work anymore.:crying:

OS is stable, no FCs or spontaneous reboots.

It's possible that replacement of smali files is not a perfect solution, but again, that's all I can do with my non-existing knowledge of this subject.

Hopefully jacknorris can give us a hand...

Happy Holidays to all!

great ROM!

if this request is not too much, could there be a battery icon for percentage only?

i havent tried gravity box on this, but it would be great if it was already cooked with the ROM.

I always have this "Optimizing apps" message for every reboot. Any fix for this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xR3BorNx:
Do you have any custom kernel? Or did you enabled ART? What version of Purity did you used?

It happened to me after i used a custom kernel and enabled art on purity 4.4.1
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Finner42:
Running the latest version with Oxydo and is working great, very smooth!

A few questions/requests though;

- Would it be possible to add other battery icon options back in? Even the CM battery options where you can choose to add the text over the icon..

- Another CM feature which would be awesome to have is Quiet Hours, is this possible? (rather than having to run a whole separate app just to silence notifications over night)

- I've tried a few ROMs, and I suspect it's not possible on 4.4 yet, to add 'hold' functionality to nav buttons, eg. press back to go back, hold to kill.. press switcher to see apps, hold to switch to previous app.

Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
I'm interested as well. 12/14 version of purity. ART enabled. If I have to reflash the ROM it will optimize all 168 apps. Take nearly a half hour. If I flash a kernel it only optimized 2 things. Which is weird. I hardly ever power off and only reboot when I make a major change. So it not really a big deal for ME.

I realize that you didn't ask me personally, but that's what I did. Depending on how many apps you have (168 for me) it will take a while for the 1st reboot after turning ART on. Took about 30min for mine to optimize all the apps after the 1st reboot.
