Hello... from TALAPIA :)

I tried to pass through Paota from 3.99b2 to 4.0b, but it gives me error ... tried 3 times, in the end I always returned the RECOVERY MODE.

I reinstalled GAPPS 3.99b2 and September and all OK

Why Paota to some works and not others?

EDIT: ALL OK!!!

ALL OK ... SOLVED

You should be using TWRP 2.6.3.1 ... the 2.6.3.0 DOES NOT WORK :)

I installed via TWRP 2.6.3.1

pa_tilapia-4.0-BETA-20131223.zip and

pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131215-signed.zip

The programs are all there;), is to rearrange the desk :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] evaradar:
Didn't you read the instructions on the first page lol?

You need to have the latest recovery installed in order for it to work. Glad you got it working though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lolcopter:
I dunno about the PAOTA but TWRP 2.6.3.0 worked perfectly fine with a traditional flash
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MarcPo:
If you want to go to 4.4.2 without factory reset, you must use Paota and TWRP 2.6.3.1 ... the 2.6.3.0 is not working, you always brings in Ricovery
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Catchpen:
Same problem here, I figured that was my problem but I don't see where it says to have the latest recovery in the op. I'm on the xda mobile app tho.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MarcPo:
eheh...

1. UPDATE RECOVERY

2. FACTORY RESET (If coming from another rom or stock)

3. INSTALL ROM

4. INSTALL GAPPS

4. REBOOT

5. CUSTOM KERNELS (You need to flash STOCK one first)

PA 4+ UPDATES DO NOT NEED A FACTORY RESET.

as you can read

2. FACTORY RESET...

I had the 3.99b2, not 4.0b, but with PaOTA, I managed to install the rom 4.4.2, with TWRP 2.6.3.1 without a problem with gapps 4.4.2 of 15 December

Ciao
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lolcopter:
My bad, factory reset was implied. Flashing in recovery. Don't see why everyone is so averse to a reset tbh, sure restoring everything takes a little bit longer but the device is always gonna be in a limbo phase between ROMs regardless. I'd rather start with a clean slate than try to troubleshoot issues from not clean flashing.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MarcPo:
eheh

I might also agree with you ...

but as you know, all phones and tablets andrioid do the upgrade via OTA going from system to u no higher ...

Why we should ALWAYS do a factory reset?

If it were there would be no essential upgrade via OTA.

or not?

Hey guys. I'm currently running the 4.0 beta with Twrp 2.6.3.1. I just tried to make a nandroid backup and it hung up and froze. Has anyone else run into the same issue?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
OTA upgrades only work if you have an unmodified System, so the OTA knows what files you have and what needs to be changed, added, etc.

This is not the case between Custom ROMs, so it is recommended to factory reset of your changing Android versions or from one Custom ROM to another.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MarcPo:
I agree if the Roms were of different authors, but here we always talk about ParanoidAndroid ... then the author, just as you say, knows what files you have and what needs to be changed, added, etc..

In fact, even other custom rom you can update via OTA.

PA knows very well his version 3.99b2 and how it differs from 4.0b then the OTA update, which he proposes to USERS, works 100%.

Ciao and Happy 2014
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pirateghost:
you don't HAVE to factory reset to flash an update to PA, you never have. It has been recommended going from one android version to another, but I used the Paranoid OTA app to update my grouper without having to factory reset.

One thing you have to remember about OTA 'DELTAS' (I assume this is what you were really referring to), is that it is a lot of work on the server side to handle the load of verifying and providing a delta just for you. So many people will flash mods on top of the rom and it screws with stuff in the /system partition. if OTA Deltas are ever going to truly work, people need to stop flashing crap on top of the rom.

On my galaxy s3, twrp always breaks and I end up having to manually push over another custom recovery version from the pc. I kinda don't trust twrp. Maybe partition problems? I am using cwmr now. I feel like it's more stable. Although I miss some twrp features.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
I decided to try PA4. Switched from 3.99rc2 to purity to give KitKat a try. Which I liked. After realizing that the current state of PA4 doesn't have hybrid or per app set up or pie mode yet I wanted to go back for know to PA3.99rc2. Using the downloaded ROM I saved from before and doing a full factory reset I get a big red "failed" notice every attempt with TWRP 2631. Any thought on a fix for this? As always I appreciate any response and thanks for already taking the time to read this.

Hi I did a full wipe, flashed PA then gapps 4.4.2. Somehow I can't get to sign in to a Google account. My Internet is fine (can browse in chrome) but I can't add a Google account.

Also PA 4.0 seems stock with no customizations. No additional settings or anything is this normal? This is my first PA rom so I don't really know what to expect except for what I've read.

This is the first time I try PA and i have a question.

I switched to PA a few days ago (PA OTA not working - saw previous posts that suggested might be surver issues) and i see on their G+ page that beta 2 is now available.

What is the process to install it? Do I have to install it as if it is a new rom? Or can i dl, transfer to N7 and just flash that via TWRP over the existing PA? Just trying to do this in a way that avoids the normal issues of dirty flashes.

ive only ever used SmoothRom which didnt have beta updates at the time i switched from Stock android

[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
Google completely nuked the Tablet UI code in 4.4. To get it back, the PA team will have to re-code it from scratch, which takes time. Plus this is a BETA so it lacks loads of features. As soon it's STABLE or NIGHTLIES are issued more features will be integrated I think.

Hope that answers your question.

Well, i think the Team said they won't bring the Tablet UI back.

Can I install the latest Beta on SlimKat without wipes? Just I tried to a little ago, and it booted and then rebooted :D

Отправлено с моего Nexus 7 через Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pirateghost:
the well known general rule is that if coming from a DIFFERENT rom, that you need to do a factory reset in between. /data from one is not compatible with the other.

make a backup with titaniumbackup or helium, factory reset, and flash new rom....

it really is annoying to see these questions asked repeatedly.

try flashing without wiping:

doesnt work? wipe

works? move along

Umm... It doesn't work even with a clean flash... That's why I was asking.

Tried to use the OTA updater to go from Beta2 to Beta3, was told once my N7 was in recovery (CWM, 6.0.4.3) that my version of ROM Manager needed to be 4.4 or higher? I'm confused, any suggestions?

Also when I clicked Install through the OTA updater I was asked if I wanted to Backup, Wipe Data, Wipe Cache/Dalvik. Do I need to choose any of these?

Thanks!

Ok, I'll switch to TWRP. Thanks!

Switched to TWRP, still had to install the update manually once I rebooted into recovery, though I didn't get any errors. Is this the expected behaviour or was it supposed to be automatic? So far a very stable ROM with nice worthwhile updates!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] beerbong:
Closed source CWM is not supported in any case, just TWRP and cwm based recoveries (like the cm ones).

If you switch between recoveries you have to tell it to paota as it gets configured in first run and twrp and cwm work different. You can do it in settings-advanced inside paota

If you didn't do a factory reset switching to 4.3 that can happen. Also 3.98 is the current build so try that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keitaro:
I decided to make the leap from 4.2.2 based PA to this newest 4.3 based one.

I installed the latest bootloader, did a # factory reset #, formatted /sdcard to make sure everything else was gone (I know it wasn't necessary), applied stock 4.3 image, rebooted into 4.3, downloaded PA 3.98 and latest 8/22 Gapps on tablet, rebooted into recovery to install PA and Gapps, reboot into PA.

I then tried to load up Hybrid properties in settings and I get this message...

"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

I then decided to redownload PA and Gapps on the PC, transfer over and try again but I still get the same error message.

I read through the last 10 pages of the Aaronpoweruser thread and see that this error was fixed in a build on Aug 14th.

I checked /system/app and ParanoidPreferences.apk is there at 1.8MB. Is that the right size?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] TKruzze:
Our GApps package will install the Google factory Gallery (aka Photosphere Camera) for all the devices that have a Photosphere camera. Unfortunately, the Nexus 7 (Grouper) does not have a rear camera so you're stuck with the somewhat limited AOSP version from the ROM. There are some things happening that should allow us to add back support for Grouper and Tilapia, but in the meantime another user found a useful addon at this thread.

The nice thing about this addon is that it has addon.d support meaning you'll only have to flash it once (as long as you don't manually wipe the System partition)
