I think it might be to do with recent updates to google related apps rather than PA itself as it happens on some of my other android based devices as well.

I noticed a high idle drain on my N7 in standby and decided to look around Settings -> Apps -> Running. I tapped on Google Services and saw one named something like NetworkLocation was always running even though I didn't have GPS turned on or use any apps the explicitly make use of my location. It was running amongst other ones like Google Messaging Service and GCM Service. I stopped the NetworkLocation one, left it for about 6hrs and the battery drain was much lower.

I also went into app drawer -> Google Settings -> Location and disabled Location Reporting and Location History.

This might not fix it for everyone but it did for me. If your location related apps still work after changing these settings then great, enjoy lower battery drain. If not then just revert the settings.

Kernel option

if this is out of line to post, please delete. i understand. i tend to bounce from kernel to kernel. i recently saw the xperience kernel.it was written for specific roms. PA not being one of them. i tried it anyway. my tablet seemed to be smoother and slightly faster. no video stutter when streaming. i also ran a benchmark. i know a lot of people believe they are bunk and that's fine. when i ran Antutu benchmark xperience kernel outscored M kernel, Faux123 and Franco by more 1000 points. maybe i'm seeing a placebo effect. seeing a better score and i believe it's going to run better. all i can tell you is that with it it runs great for me.

someone here uses launcher at 720p res ? does it impact performance? i do feel a little slugish but can't tell if its the res or the widgets

also, enabling tablet ui should set launcher to 720p too

Hi all,

Good to see the Paranoid OTA functionality become active; however I'm not sure where it's storing the downloads...

Although currently there's only a Gapps update available, when I download it (presumably to the default paranoidota folder), nothing ever appears. There is also no download progress notification that I can see, so not even sure if it does in fact download.

Can anyone enlighten me as to where gapps packages are stored by default, or if this is abnormal behavior and is affecting others?

Thanks...

[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Settings have everything to do with your results. OC/governor/gpu clock/ etc... Download trickster mod and look at the default settings. They are probably set extremely high and are battery unfriendly. Also, there is no such thing as a kernel that is optimized for a specific ROM. That's a load of BS.

I've used smooth rom since I rooted my Nexus. Wanted to give 4.3 a shot so I decided on this rom. I got everything setup but the only app looking odd is hangouts. And is there a way to turn off halo?

Nevermind I figured it out. Thank you so far rom is very smooth.

how do you turn off Halo?

ok its double tap bubble then hold and drag to X. Why can they just put a toggle in Halo settings duh.

antutu not running

Hi,

did a clean install pa 3.98 flash all including sdcard. All running well except Antutu is only "initializing" and after a while the nexus reboots, also the "Wahr oder Falsch" app is not working (white screen only) , App2Zip Pro cannot create zip file "Could not access sdcard".

Now updated to 3.99 the same. Any ideas why this happens in pa (tested with stock rom all works fine)? /mountingpoints?

JWR is the latest official OTA Update, but JSS is still the newer stuff in AOSP.

Games

Anyone faced some issues playing games?

I tried yesterday to install PA-3.98/Gapps (Clean Install, Full Wipe); I was liking so far since i came from CM, until i faced some issues when my son tried to run some games, Real Racing 3 , Pudding Monster HD, Sky Safari, Run in the Crowd. None of those games ran, they stuck on loading screen.

On CM those games ran fine.

So i wanna to know if was my bad flashing stuff, or something on PA isn´t optimized for games or is an unknow issue.

I still wanna to change CM to PA, but i have a concern about it.

Any help is appreciate.

Tks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mp1405:
Can you check if Antutu is running on your nexus, I cannot run some games too, maybe something with the dpi or the mount points i think we need more feedback from other users.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] qu3becker:
I can't stand using my tablet with stock kernel. It's crawling slow. There's no problem flashing a JSS kernel on PA. There's only some issue on the Nexus 4 AFAIK. Go ahead. Flash a custom kernel to your heart content. Over the Nexus 4, we tell people wanting to flash a JSS kernel on JWR to disable hardware overlays in dev options but I'm sure that it's not necessary on the N7.

PA OTA is a little broken right now so that makes sense. It seems like the site is under heavy load right now so try again in a bit.

EDIT: I just downloaded 3.99 and the md5 and it matched. Try a different browser.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bamaredwingsfan:
I installed the opera browser, an redownloaded the md5 file an that was the problem. Somehow chrome browser was corrupting the md5 file

*question should I update to the newest bootloader or does it matter
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheHighlightGuy:
My guess for the App2Zip Pro problem is that it's being caused by the internal storage having been moved to /storage/emulated/legacy

This move has been causing issues with Titanium Backup for many users and my guess is also causing your issue.

If you can change the location of the sdcard in the options somehow, change it to /storage/emulated/legacy and let us know if that solves your issue.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sharingan92:
Yes I have the latestbTWRP and I also tried your method but still no luck

This is very odd maybe it could be the themes themselves?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
If you are getting errors in theme manager then yes it's the themes.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Fobz:
Wondering anyone else's lockscreen takes a few seconds to unlock, had this during the first 4.3 versions went away after flashing francos. Now its there even after custom kernels.

Yes I know about that. I'll look into it as soon as I can.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Fobz:
No worries, just thought it might be my end. Was going to full wipe, but asked just incase. You just saved me some time. =)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bd177:
You need to apply the theme while you are in Stock UI. After the theme is applied, you can switch to other UI's.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sharingan92:
If you read my previous posts I tried all possibilities and EvanA and I concluded it was the themes I was trying to use

Not anything I was doing
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spankymo:
a quick fix would be to slide all the way down in halo when doing cpu-intensive tasks so that it won't pop up until you manually invoke it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Exactly what spankymo said. That's why the hide and silence until woken feature is there for. As for PA Prefs, I'll pass it along.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Fobz:
Just realized why custom kernels helped before!! Turning off fsync removes the lock screen unlock lag completely. Don't know if this is any help.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Ahh thanks! I forgot fsync was enabled on my device. Must be the age showing...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bcvictory:
Totally agree with all of this. HALO slows the frame rate of the UI way down. I've used other overlay things and there was no frame rate lag.

So is that the only fix? Personally I prefer to have fsync enabled.

Password on Recovery?

I've been using PA for a while now on my Nexus 7. I love it, and love the ability to customize on there. this morning, i just flashed 3.67 and it worked great. Just a couple of minutes ago, my Nexus was freezing up a bit, so I restarted it and went into recovery, I am using TWRP recovery, but all of a sudden, it's asking me for a password. I don't remember ever setting up a password for my recovery, but because I can't figure out what the password is, I can't reboot my tablet to system or even recover any files on there! Has this happened to anyone and anyone with any ideas how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keitaro:
This is the wrong thread to ask for help regarding recovery but...

I'd imagine if you use fastboot to install TWRP again should overwrite any settings. If you don't know how to fastboot into your N7 and manually flash TWRP then use whatever automated toolkit you used the first time round.

Finally a stable build (for me) of 4.3

Latest nightly 09-02 v 3.99 has been great and is the first ROM I've been able to run without multiple System UI FCs whenever a new notification comes on through HALO.

Chrome Browser is still acting up (constantly refreshes itself whenever I try to scroll the page), though I suspect it's a problem with Chrome on 4.3.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Flukester69:
The ROM is great but it kills your save game for Plants vs Zombies and other games. Not sure why. Tried changing the UI to no avail. Probably not even a ROM/kernel bug probably just crappy EA to blame. If you run into the same problem where your games crash, hate to tell you but the only way to fix it is to clear the data for that app/game.

Never had this problem on 4.2.2. Seems to only happen with the 4.3 roms.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
It's not strictly required. I never do. If dalvik needs to be re-built it will do so automatically.

EDIT: [MENTION=2775921]Pirateghost[/MENTION] be me, haha
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Flukester69:
If that is the case, how come it does not re-configure all apps? If I do it manually, it reconfigures all apps and I find the rom works better as well. Re-configuring your apps is key to everything working properly, and performance. My opinion and observations.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Because it only needs to re-do apps that have been updated or changed. There is not going to be a noticeable performance difference between wiping and not wiping.
