transparent navbar

hey vertigo i wanted to set the navbar fully transparent on the homescreen. i tried stock and many other launchers but it seems that it doesent work. im not a noob used PA before and on other ROMS / Phones i could set the navbar transparent.. however on this rom it remains black. i can set it to any other color but transparency doesnt work at all..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
Works perfectly well for me on Nova Launcher :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ONE!:
damnit, i forgot to mention that i use tablet mode^^ can you try it in tablet mode and see if it still works for you ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jusada:
Vertigo, I noticed another mentioned aosp, just wanted to see if you're up to date with broodplanks aosp as its now about 70-80% aosp and from personal experience it runs smoother and cooler than cm10. I really think it could be worth a look, he has got everything working, he just needs to fix a translation error. Even mhl works great. Just thought I'd mention it.

Does anyone have a problem with calls? after a few hours when I make or receive calls no-one can hear me. A reboot solves the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
Not really looked at Broodplanks AOSP as this is up to date with PA so its as up to date with AOSP as this ROM is going to get, but I will take a look and see if there is much difference... Just remember that they are different ROMs so they need different amounts of CM in order to function properly
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BabelHuber:
So, after using this ROM since 09/27 I can share my experience

- In general, everything works (including the Samsung HDMI-adapter)

- Battery runtime is good

- Three minor bugs:

- Phone crashes sometimes on reboot (only removing battery helps, then)

- Camera does not work when, after a reboot, I start the app for the first time from the lock screen

But if I open the camera app from the desktop or app depot after reboot, it works flawlessly until the next reboot

even if I open it from the lock screen afterwards!

- When using the Phablet UI, the toolbar is in front of the desktop, not above it.

Workaround: I use the stock UI, but set everything to Phablet in the settings. Works flawlessly :)

Bottom line: I like this ROM, I have no problems using it as a daily driver. Also, I do not miss settings compared to the PAC ROM.

I know its possible to change the size of Halo itself, but I don't think its possible to change the size of the floating window.... I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] apkanthony:
Just wondering if it is possible to change some numbers in a file somewhere? That might get the handcent emoji-keyboard working in floating mode again, which could be nice!

Great Rom so far, works like a charm!, really like the customization it provides!

Thanks for helping me out with my sdcard's partition, system now recognized the external sdcard.

Got some problems with my display staying black after calls, so turning of a call is really annoying. (have to push home button like 3-4 times before i'm able to end the call)

Can anyone confirm this, maybe a solution?

Thanks! :)

//edit: Just reflashed the ROM, works fine now. o0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Azundris:
[Solved] No PA for me. :(

OK, I followed the instructions (wiping everything, etc.), and I get a beautiful pA 3.99,

but my SIM is not recognized (and no networks are found), leaving me with an undersized tablet. :(

(Camera is also not recognized, "can't connect to the camera", possibly other stuff too.)

Diagnostics:

- I have custom ROMs on all my devices, including a Paranoid Android on a tilapia;

so I like to think I'm not always too stupid for this. ;)

- I was able to re-flash the i9505 to current CyanogenMod, which solved the camera

issue and the SIM issue, indicating that the SIM issue is not a hardware problem.

Also, this of course is once again the i9505 / jfltexx ROM, suggesting that I'm not

delusional about what model I have.

- I tried to re-flash to PA 3.99 (again wiping cache, data, dalvik, and formatting system, etc.,

and using latest clockwork recovery, as per the instructions), in case of user error the first

time around. Again, the SIM is not recognized, so if this is user-error, I commit it consistently. :(

- I was in the UK when trying this, with a "three (UK)" SIM.

- I tried to get cell radio both before and after flashing GApps, just to make sure. :-/

Since it works for some people, I'm not sure whether it's a user error in some way I just don't see,

or what. :(

The CM works fine, but all things being equal, I'd prefer a working PA to a working CM, so any help

welcome, thanks!

Azundris

[Solved] after downgrading CWM from 6.0.4.4 to 6.0.3.6 (from CM) and reflashing, by suggestion

of Vap0r. Thanks, excellent! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Vap0ur:
If you used the wrong recovery to start with (like I did!!) it's quite likely you'll have wiped your baseband. There may be several ways to solve this, but in my case I had to download a stock image and reflash it via desktop Odin to recover the modem. The newer CWM shouldn't wipe the baseband again, but if you're in doubt revert to 6.0.3.6 (which I'm still using without problems) and go from there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Azundris:
PA, I have it! :) [Solved: No PA for me. :(]

Don't you know it, I downgraded CWM from 6.0.4.4 to 6.0.3.6 (from within CM),

flashed PA again, and it works like a charm! (At least it was something relatively

non-obvious -- I made sure that my CWM wasn't too old, but "too young"? :D )

Thanks a ton, Vap0ur, and thanks a ton, [vertigo]! :)

You rock!

Which version of CWM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] h4x:
PhilZ Touch 5, CWM Base version: v6.0.3.7
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] codenamezero:
Hum... coincidentally, the person posted before you downgraded to 6.0.3.6 to resolve his issue:

And I just booted to my recovery, and I am also running 6.0.3.6, no issues whatsoever as well. Perhaps you could try 6.0.3.6 and a reflash + full wipe (to be safe).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] h4x:
Iḿ on it ;) Hope that will fix that curious issue, it's annoying hard, really .<

Everything else works fine for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rallyfan1986:
probably a stupid question - if i wanted to try this out can i just flash over the PAC rom that i am currently running, or do you recommend a full wipe?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Vap0ur:
I'd always recommend a full wipe when swapping between roms. Whilst PAC takes some pieces of PA, it is still a different base, and includes various AOKP and other features.

Having said that, no harm trying... providing you have full backups of course! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rallyfan1986:
Thanks mate, im good with flashing roms and changing settings, but dont really understand what goes on underneath all the settings!

i'll make a backup and give it a go!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] h4x:
No success.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BabelHuber:
Did you do exactly this:

Especially this:

I use CWM 6.0.3.6 and stuck to the point to the instructions. It worked for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] h4x:
Yes, exactly in this order, no luck with that too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BabelHuber:
:confused:

This seems weird. Something on your phone seems to be messed up. I would completely put the device back to its original status:

- Backup all of your data outside of the phone. Backup all your important apps with titanium backup outside of the phone - but no system apps and no tools. I would only backup the most important stuff, e.g. Games which I already have played for a few hours.

- Install an original Samsung ROM via ODIN (be aware of the KNOX issue!). Set the flag 'reformat partitions', so that the phone is completely wiped.

- Test this ROM. See if your problems are still there, in case they are, you have most probably a hardware error.

- If everything works, you can give PA another try :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] codenamezero:

It feels snappier than the previous build, battery life is much better. Thanks Vertigo!!!!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simondavies315:
Sorry for being a noob haha :)

Is there an option in Paranoid Android to kill all running apps like in PACman?

I'm getting Settings force closing a lot. Anyone else experiencing this?

Setting the global status icon colour is also broken in Paranoid Android so it's down to them that it's not working in PACman. Unticking per app colour does nothing and the Global colour doesn't work with Next Launcher

Can you get hold of the devs for Paranoid Android Vertigo?

if im using the recommended settings in PA settings the statusbar cuts the screen off .... so in whatsapp i just can read half of the name, rest is under statusbar
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] footsouljah:
I broke the ROM by restoring with Titanium Backup. It won't boot.

EDIT: Reinstalled the ROM. Restored apps with Titanium Backup. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM APPS or you will have a bad time ;)

EDIT 2: Okay, after using this ROM for a bit, is it possible to turn off the hardware buttons and use only the nav bar? Giving it a nexus feel. And as stated by remygo above, the hybrid settings seem to have the status bar cutting things off. A way to get around this is with full screen mode for now. Hopefully this will be fixed.

Aside from those few things everything seems fine :) Runs fairly similar to the galaxy nexus version.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
Yeah I'm going to have a look at the properties.conf that deals with the DPI settings for the rom, I think thats is what is causing the issues on this

That is absolutely no help at all..... What process did you go through to flash the rom? Have you re-downloaded the rom, just incase you have a bad download? Did you follow the installation instructions in the OP?

Just posting a comment like that my friend will get you no help in here....

Hey vertigo,

many thanks to you for bringing those great ROMs to our S4!

But i got a question. Do you know if there ever will be an official PA Rom for the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
I had this once on another rom... try a battery pull and restart... or maybe try to reflash the rom and let the rom boot up and settle down before you flash gapps

I think there probably will be, but it will be no different from this rom as I'm using the same sources and I've been talking to the maintainer of the 'tmo' S4 and I'm more or less using the same build procedure too...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simondavies315:
Are you submitting the bugs we find to Paranoid Android devs? If you don't have time do you have any contact information for them?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] footsouljah:
I think I found another bug. Pie Controls seem to still be on when I don't have expanded desktop mode on. That doesn't happen in the Nexus versions I don't think, unless there is a way to turn that off which I don't know about?

Just a heads up for people in the same boat as me

If you get this error or something similar:

Code:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "thunderc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "thunderc"

You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR

Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!

In the ROM go to:

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux

2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well

Do not go past the first semiclon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sosquidtaste:
Yup, was gonna come in and tell you the above.

This ROM is built for the international version of the Galaxy S4, so if you've got a US carrier-specific S4 (mine is for T-Mobile US) it stops you from flashing the files since it's technically for a different device. Gotta fiddle with that assert line.

vertigo-- is there any way to strip out the assert check in the script? I think we're all big boys here and know to flash our carrier's kernel before we boot :]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
Isn't there a version out for your specific model, I know that Ayysir looks after the T-Mobile version.... But what I can do is upload 2 versions one with the assert lines removed so that all you guys can flash but put a massive warning on it lol.... I know that some of you guys have common sense but some people will just flash without THINKING or READING at all and then when things go wrong will blame me for it not working :D

If you guys can let me know what needs doing to the rom when you flash it on a US variant I can put that in the warning ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] waqsuk:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rmeletti:
Is there any way to add photosphere to the camera in this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sosquidtaste:
Yeah there is a TMOUS-specific build, but the last few times I've peeked at that thread, ayysir seems a little ornery (if I were less of a gentleman, I'd be inclined to call him a **** in much of that thread). I also haven't confirmed, so I don't recall if IR support is in that build.

After thinking about it, I think it's too much of a pain to ask you to build two separate install zips. Not only for your time when compiling/packaging, but for the inevitable complaints from folks who might accidentally flash the non-asserted version onto the wrong device, heh. I can stop being selfish and continue spending the ten seconds it takes to modify the binary script myself :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xsycox:
No nightlies here? I am using your PAC but the latest problems

(reboots, when starting an app and other bugs) are bugging me

a bit, so I thought, I could try PA instead.

Second question, is there ANY other ROM out there, using the

PA main feature (I mean the density changing)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
I think there is a couple of ROMs out there with the hybrid engine... But you will find this quite stable, when I had my s4 its what I used all the time... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BabelHuber:
I installed RC2 yesterday. Works great so far:

- Camera bug is gone

- Reboot now always works

- Feels smoother overall

- Google Apps updater works (I was immediately pointed to the GApps from 2013-10-24)

PA is my favourite Mod meanwhile.The SGS4 with its 5" screen just needs the Phablet mode. Also the contacts, settings, GMail etc. look so much better with smaller fonts (per-app DPI), when I see an SGS4 with stock ROM or GE I always find the fonts to be too big meanwhile.

I do not miss any feature from PAC BTW.

[MENTION=262147]vertigo[/MENTION]: Do you plan to support this ROM further? I would love to have a Kitkat version of PA on my phone in the future...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xsycox:
Great, really great. Not one single reboot with Paranoid Android.

With PAC I had one every several hours.

I miss some features though:

- no profiles

- no way to center clock

- no long-pressing back button to kill an app

- double-click home to open camera does not work

- while talking on the phone the screen gets black and I can not enter it again, only by ending the call

The last two points are bugs, I guess.

Are there other ways to get back those features?

Thank you.

Btw, which phone did you get after S4? I have it now for only six weeks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BabelHuber:
Cannot confirm this. My phone's screen turns black when holdig the phone on my ear, but when I put it away, it takes one second or so, then the screen switches on automatically. In general, the ROM is not as smooth as the various GE versions, but more then compensate this with the additional features.

But I have noticed two bugs meanwhile:

- When an app asks for root access, you always end up in the settings when pressing back (but this is a very minor bug I can happily live with)

- When connecting the phone to a TV via the original Samsung MHL adapter and connect the charger, the device discharges faster than it is charged while playing Asphalt 8. It seems the ROM charges the device like when plugged into a PC via USB, not like connecting the Samsung charger without the MHL-adapter.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
I got the LG G2 which is basically a bigger screen and better camera version of the Nexus 5 :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xsycox:
Sounds nice. Are you using PAC or PA or something

different?

Btw, I flashed another kernel (Chronic 2.1) and the call

black screen problem is gone.

So, those points remain:

- no profiles (CM, I guess)

- no way to center clock

- no long-pressing back button to kill an app

- double-click home to open camera does not work

Does anyone know how to get these features back?

Thank you, guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MadCobbler:
Using PA on it at the minute...

As for those features, as far as I'm aware they have never been in PA... Its kept simple so that its stable, the only thing I kinda miss is the centre clock, but then again I generally have the status bar hidden now so I don't notice it

For some of those features, keep an eye on AICP because LorD ClockaN was on about adding the hybrid engine to that on his twitter the other day
