CM10.1 has a feature that's called "Expanded desktop" which hides the status and navbar. You can enable/disable this by pressing and holding the power button (like you do when you want to power off/reboot your phone), and you'll get the option there. This is available system wide, so it's always an option to enable them again no matter where you are (games etc.). That's a custom ROM though, and i'm sure there is a similar mod for the Xposed framework (100% speculation), so you don't have to flash a ROM, but being rooted will be enough.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zergslayer69:
Ah thanks for the clarification. I've always been weary of custom roms due to bugs (camera not working, GPS feature broke, can't make calls, etc) but that's for another discussion.

What are the best emulators to use?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zergslayer69:
Depends which system you're emulating. Which ones you have in mind
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdir:
most games are actually 1080p already smooth even for Adreno 320, you can tell by taking a screenshots and having a look at the pixels

- Shadowgun deadzone, 1080p + AA, 60fps on Adreno 320

- Modern Combat 4, 1080p, 60fps on Adreno 320

- Temple Run 2, 1080p, 60fps on Adreno 320

- Asphalt 7, 1080p, 60fps on Adreno 320

- Need for Speed Most wanted, 1080p, 60fps on Adreno 320

- FrontLine commando, D-Day, 1080p, very smooth on Adreno 320

- Fast and Furious 6, 1080p, very smooth on Adreno 320

- Ripetide GP 2, scalable from ingame options, variable smoothness on Adreno 320

- Beach buggy blitz, scalable from ingame options, variable smoothness on Adreno 320

- Iron Man 3 runs in sub 1080p, like 720p scaled up, variable smoothness on Adreno 320

- Real Reacing 3 sub 1080p as well, variable to average smoothness on Adreno 320

on Adreno 320 all the above games run liquid smooth already with the exception of Beach buggy blitz, Ripetidge GP2, IronMan 3 and Real Racing which seems to jump between 20fps and 60fps, these are the best games to test the new powers of Adreno 330 ;)

lots of info and pixel screenshots from my posts here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Important is not to see what about already existing games. Using a Nexus 7 with custom kernel and none of those games are lagy. The 330 is yet to have show it's power as there is no game using 100% of it now a day. Need to see upcoming games and upcoming custom kernels as well. This device is really promising, only lack as for any device is the time the battery last while playing. Almost time the only solution is to play while plug to the wall, but it kill the battery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Strategist:
Are there any upcoming games which are likely to put the 330 to full use?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Actually no, and I am happy about it. Would feel really bad if just after put my hands on the latest phone with latest GPU, the GPU would already be at its limits. But with time everything come.

Just wait until we get JB 4.3. The Snapdragon 800 supports OpenGL 3.0, which is one of the new features in 4.3. Games will look even better.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topherlook:
Quick question. I'm running jt1134's CM 10.1. It's great but Paranoidandroid has me interested. This ROM has a special partition (I'm not sure if it's commonplace or just a tweak for this particular ROM) and I was wondering if that would pose any problems when moving to Paranoid. Will it flash over just fine or will I have to do something extra (like flashing it twice or something)?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skepticmisfit:
the partition is the same, though the recovery is different, and you have to flash the PA Gapps instead of normal Gapps. the best thing to do is:

1. flash ROM

2. it'll probably boot into TWRP (the default recovery for PA) automatically, but if it doesn't, reboot into recovery and flash the ROM again

3. flash Gapps after ROM

don't forget to wipe data and dalvik cache before flashing PA. different ROM

oh and the MTD partition is commonplace, but don't try to downgrade to an older OS without an Odin back to stock, as cm10.1's MTD is different from the CM7 and ICS MTD partitions.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topherlook:
Thanks for the help and info. I go long periods of time between tinkering so it's a bit like the first day back to school after a long summer.

Man what the dev unjust released 8/21/13 PAC Man ROM go check it out. Its best CM AOKP PARANOID ANDROID get Pie = CM AOKP = Ribbon PA = Halo to me Halo is the best future I DG don't use Ribbon at all
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skepticmisfit:
You're recommending a 4.3 ROM, which by the way doesn't even have proper data working, among other bugs.

That's kind of not a good thing to do.

running this all day today so far.This is what i found

- issue coming out of sleep twice(after 20+ minutes of no activity each time) Had to force reboot.Wondering if this has to do with locket app?

- invalid package when installing a few apps.(clear playstore cache worked) This came up twice

-trecbucket FC a few times

Amazingly short list for something like this. Just trying to help.

Is there a way to assign camera storage to ext-SD?

As always THANK YOU Jamie

joverclock - Have you tried alpha 2 yet? If yes, are you having the same issues coming out of sleep? I was having the exact same issues as you with Alpha 1, but nothing that stopped me from wanting to keep using it. So today I installed Alpha 2, and I still have the issue coming out of sleep sometimes. Just wondering.

And in case anyone is curious, Alpha 2 seems to have stabilized some of the other issues. Focal does work for the most part. Problems with the front facing camera though. It will FC most of the time when selected, and the few times it has come up for me, it is upside down.

I have one app (zRadio) that will freeze when I start playing a recording, but I force close it, and then restart it, and it will play fine. It will do this again if I don't use it for a while. I'm sending info to the developer about that though.

GPS has worked great on Alpha 1 & 2.

Sound has worked fine on Alpha 1 & 2.

Bluetooth has worked great. No disconnects at all. (I use the app Bluetooth Auto, to do my auto-connect to my car when I get in).

I installed to a COMPLETELY wiped clean phone, so that may of been a help. I was having other issues (another thread in the Q&A area), and decided that since I was wiping my phone back to "out of the box stock", then I would just try this 4.3 alpha, and have been very happy with it so far.

Hope that helps anyone that is thinking about trying this out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
Jamie, I don't mean to go all OT on your thread, but you're one of the few true, true developers in this section, and you mention my topic in your OP, so I figured I'd ask.

In many a thread I see people saying give the ROM X amount of minutes to settle in. Don't touch the phone. Why? In no way is that meant to be snarky. I'm truly curious why that's always said. I had a theory running that someone sometime, somewhere said that and everyone else says it because that's what you say. But, I can't figure out the logical reason for why. Granted, Android is not slackware, or ubuntu, or redhat, or whatever, but I've run many a linux distro in my day, and I've never installed a fresh copy and then let the PC "sit" for 10 minutes. I can't imagine what process needs to be run, undisturbed, or things all fall apart. Perhaps I'm thinking way too PC related, but the only computer process I can think of that's hindered by active use is defragging a hard drive, and it just slows things down. Even something strenuous like compiling or rendering 3d is only delayed by usage, not broken.

So ya, I've been wondering and figured I'd ask a developer who could give a real answer. Is it voodoo and general Android old wive's tales, or is there a black and white reason?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Clean wipe and install 4.3 then go right away and try and changes ringtones and such, it takes a bit for all the media to settle after clean install for some reason so to stop people from asking questions about things missing or not working its just easier to have them settle the ROM in to avoid stuff :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NomaSS:
Could be just me but I can't seem to get the phone to go to Vibrate it's either Ringer on or Silent. I go in to settings>sound>Ring Mode the Vibrate option is there but it won't "stick". Also trying to change the volume with the rocker buttons just skips right past where Vibrate should be.

Alpha 3 actually fixed this for me.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

Just an update on my experience with Alpha 3 so far. Running it for over 12 hours now.

I am VERY happy with this new Alpha. It is very stable, and I have not had the issues waking the phone anymore, and I have not had a single reboot. 1 & 2 were a bit of a pain with waking the phone, and it would reboot about once every few hours, usually when I would try to wake it up, and it just didn't want to.

This thing is just very stable in my opinion. In fact, I plan to continue to test this, and feel that it can be my daily ROM during the work week, for now. All of my alerts (that I use), are working fine. I do have the issue with vibrate mode for the ringer not working, but I never use that, so I am ok with it for now.

I did *not* do a full wipe of my phone when going from 2 to 3, like I did when I installed 1 & 2. I just flashed Alpha 3 over 2, and flashed the standard GAPPS again, and everything has been great so far. I wiped cache of course when flashing each time.

Hope this helps once again with anyone looking at trying this Alpha.

Thanks JamieD81 for taking the time to create this for us. Keep the updates coming.

I've been playing around with this ROM today...very smooth and functional for an alpha release..thanks again Jamie..sure will miss you when your new phone arrives..

As nobody else is mentioning it, I take it that I'm the only one having issues with calendar synching?

There is a calander app with the ROM but I am unable to get it to synch with my gmail account. In fact there isn't even a calendar check box under settings accounts..Is this a known issue or is just a bad flash?
