I haven't used PA in a bit, but I still follow the thread. It's about time they got one of these. I mean how many times has that thread been cleaned already? Poor Pirateghost is answering the same questions at least 5 different times on the SAME PAGE, pretty much daily. Now those people can be linked here. Thanks for opening this, OP. Hopefully it does reduce OT in the development thread. Like I said, I try to follow the thread, but there are so many people who don't search and ask questions that are clearly answered like 3 posts above theirs + the people who flame them + the people who bicker back and fourth because of the flaming. It makes the thread a real pain to read. So again, thanks..
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
Hehehe, the one in dev section is even "Locked" now coz even the mods cannot take it anymore. At least this thread being in the "general section" they will be linient. And occasional off-topics won't hurt. :D
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
ohh these bugs !!!

BTW did you dirty flash it ?
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
Try a clean flash then see if those are still persistent. For theme issues, most themes aren't stable yet for Android 4.4.3(e.g. some themes will FC the dialer)
[Nexus 5 General] trawel:
I did a clean flash:

Wiped system, data, cache and dalvik, flashed pa, pa gapps stock, pa chrome beta addon, elementalx and supersu as suggested in instructions and these bugs appeared after clean flash

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 5 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
yeah, I've also read(in their PA G+) a couple of posts relating to few bugs like in chrome

for the mean time though

- we can use other internet browser since chrome is having issues with the build

- revert to default theme, if other themes are causing any FC or something

- stick with the stock kernel atm
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Definitely. Both the XDA thread and the Google+ page has to be one of the worst communities I've seen. Constant repeated questions to the point that the some devs are actively hostile towards the user. Can't say I blame them though. It'd tick me off as well.

Still loving the ROM though.
[Nexus 5 General] Lewis_eds:
Why has this thread only just been created? I have already found that i'm not the only one with these problems, in the first page.

This is the thread we have been waiting for.
[Nexus 5 General] DroidXAce:
It is written in the changelog on Google+, update of recovery, bootloader, etc. How to do that? During flash? Automatically?
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
It is recommended but not necessary.

bootloader hasn't changed

radio is here

TWRP recovery is here
[Nexus 5 General] DroidXAce:
Thanks Rycon ! :)
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
no problem, even though my N5 is not with me atm, I can answer general questions here and there whenevern I'm logged in here
[Nexus 5 General] Guzanni:
So, coming from a different 4.4.2 ROM, I can just do a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and flash away, without updating the radio? I don't want to update the radio, because I did that once with my N4 and it screwed up my signal.. even when I flashed the old radio back.. I already have the newest TWRP installed.
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
^Radio update is optional. If you do update and encounter issues on signal, you can always go back to the old radio baseband.

Edit: Well, I was expecting a barrage of posts now other than me but I guess most of you are busy setting up everything on your phone again, LoL. Hehehe.
[Nexus 5 General] skeamznz:
I also have the chrome fc but that is all. It feels smoother to me especially scrolling tapatalk.
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Getting the mentioned Chrome force close, as well as a force close when I try to change the wallpaper through the themes engine in settings.

Edit: Did a fresh install with nothing installed, and still experience the crash from com.wallpapercropper
[Nexus 5 General] trawel:
Guess this release was too early marked as RC. Will have to wait to test if worth coming from stock.

Quick question: how is battery life comparing with stock 4.4.3? Because I don't want ROM in which battery drains in the eyes.
[Nexus 5 General] JohnnyMontana_:
I don't think any custom ROM has the battery life of stock on any device. Being as there are more features than the stock ROM. Just something you sacrifice with custom software IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
We don't release patches.

As for art, get rid of xposed

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
P.S.-Read somewhere justnow..xposed framework is not letting ne switch to ART..!!
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
here mate, pls test and feedback, if anything goes wrong, an auto-generated revert-back(undo) zip of your original SystemUI.apk can be flash in /sdcard/UniversalFlasher folder

EDIT: those who flash the RC1 mods last time, pls delete the unused files anymore under that folder, it was an auto-generated for safety purposes. old undo zips can be deleted from that folder and you save some MBs :D
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Thanks man, will do when I'm done with my exam.
[Nexus 5 General] mokhdzanifaeq:
4.4.4

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Getting back to you to confirm that it worked with no problem man, thanks again.
[Nexus 5 General] Smallsmx3:
So if PA merged 4.4.4 and sources are up and anyone is building this would be a good thread to drop unofficial builds . just saying
[Nexus 5 General] TheCybertronian:
No unofficial builds in here period. People expect support which is not going to happen. Take it elsewhere.
[Nexus 5 General] yogosun:
I still haven't found the solution. Someone?
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
if you want swiftkey to be your default keyboard then just freeze google keyboard in Titanium Backup, or uninstall the ones you don't want

EDIT for non-xposed users who likes small nav bar:

Added small navigation bar height 40x32dip in my RC2 mods
[Nexus 5 General] yogosun:
Did that, but after uninstalling Google keyboard, it kept saying Google keyboard crashed. System was still trying to switch to Google keyboard. I froze the app now, will see how long it takes now! Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 General] maverick_hunter:
I started getting reboots whenever my alarm goes off. Anyone else?
[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
Holy crap thank you so much for this! It is the one thing I wanted to change in this ROM.

Is there any chance you could make a 36x32 DPI version ??
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
added 36x32dip to the same RC2 mod folder, try it
[Nexus 5 General] Smallsmx3:
Any why is that sir? This isn't the official dev thread, there is no support in this thread period, and where would you like it to be taken sir?
[Nexus 5 General] TheCybertronian:
It's own thread so the user who posts deals with it not anyone on the pa team.
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
I came in here to report this. You beat me to the punch. Thank god it reboots and the alarm just goes off again - I would have been late to work the past few days.

I can't think of any other factors to report. Running PA 4.4-RC1. I have two alarms, but usually reboots or I get up and turn them both off before the second one sounds. Umm... Have Viper4Android running, using stock GEL launcher, I have changed the DPI in build.prop to 320, and using Franco kernel #53. No unusual apps installed let alone running. Apps with root access: ES File Explorer, Cerberus, Franco kernel updater. Can't think of anything else that could possibly contribute.

Oh, quick edit: The reboot doesn't happen every single time the alarm goes off. I snooze a good half dozen times and now that I think of it, I think it only reboots on the first time the alarm triggers, not between snoozes. After first reboot, it starts up and alarm goes off as expected, and doesn't crash/reboot every time it goes off for a "snooze". Must crash on the alarm's ring event, but somehow isn't triggering after the initial reboot? Is it a different event that fires immediately after the reboot? One is initial alarm, the other is secondary alarm (that fires when you hit snooze and it rings again?) I dunno, just trying to help diagnose the issue. I'm a programmer, but not really for anything on Android (yet).

More diagnosing: Flashed Franco kernel #54 to see if that helped. Issue still there. Got it to reboot once out of about 10 tries. I can't do extensive testing right now, I'm at work. One thing I want to look into: first try I had headphones in and connected via USB to my computer. This didn't reboot. Second time, I unplugged everything and turned it off. This caused it to reboot. Tried to do it again with same conditions: nothing. Tried combos of headphones, USB, awake, asleep, even ringers and couldn't reproduce again. I don't think holds any weight: but could it be the phone waking up from sleep because of the alarm that crashes? I'll do more testing later today/tonight. One thing to note: when the alarm sounds, at the screen where you swipe to snooze or dismiss, isn't the background supposed to be your background on the launcher? Mine is just black. Could that mean that the alarm (clock?) app is malfunctioning, and could be causing the crashes?
[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
It works like a charm! Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] JohnnyMontana_:
Is anyone else's documents app force closing when trying to use it through another source? Such as picking an image for a lockscreen wallpaper through Theme Engine. Happens with other apps as well though not just Theme Engine. Running RC2.
[Nexus 5 General] pinter83:
Hey guys, I just installed the latest version as cm11 was a little too buggy for me. I am wondering how can I change the quick settings and how do I add toggles to the notification pull down menu? I like to pull down the menu and then disable gps or enable wireless etc and I am not sure how to do this.

Also, is there any way to make the icons smaller? They are huge!

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
Check the change log thread on feature usage.

What icons are huge? They are normal for me

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] pinter83:
I will check the changelog thanks. As for the Icons, they just seem to be fairly big to me and like alot more would fit on the screen if they were small. I guess it's the same as the stock rom however but still seems a tad big and was wondering if I could make them smaller.
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
I have to assume you are using Google now Launcher. Just use a different Launcher. With GNL being closed source we can't touch it.

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] pinter83:
I didn't even think of that. I have been on Trebuchet for so long I have to test out some other ones. Thank you kind sir
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
First rom I have installed and I have to say I'm liking how close it is to stock with some added functionality which is always good. I have checked the changelog but since I am coming straight to RC2 I might be a bit clueless on how to do some things. If you could answer or direct me to the information it would be great:

- I am liking Hover more and more, though I wish there was a way to blacklist some notifications (such as keyboard language, brightness and the like). At least I haven't found an obvious way to do this.

- Is there a tutorial on how to use the Themes feature? I noticed the Theme option in the settings but I only have the stock one. Do I need to download them manually and place them on a folder in order to load them or use a 3rd party app?

-Peek sounds like a really useful addition, though I wish I had more control over which notifications activate it. For example, I have a whatsapp group that texts +10 msgs per minute, so I obviously wouldn't want Peek to activate sensors that often, but for msges other than that group it would be ok. I know there's a paid version of Peek and it probably has more in depth options so I understand the reason for lack of customization.

Great work on the Rom, hope to see more from the PA team.

Cheers
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
Just like any other ROM, can turn off the keyboard notification in language and input settings.

For themes you need to install themes. Google CM11 themes and you will see lots of results on xda and Google play store.

There are no settings for peek.

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] TR2N:
The kernel thing. Wasn't it introduced ages ago, that Franco will build a kernel for PA?
[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
Franco kernel works fine with PA. I'm using it right now.

Also I'd like to add that it would be nice if PA incorporated some style of Autobrightness Adjustment.
[Nexus 5 General] brockkk:
I would KILL for quiet hours. Lol.
[Nexus 5 General] :
One word. Tasker. Now you can have quiet hours on every Android phone and every custom rom in the future.
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Hover and Peek both have blacklist options under each app's respective area under setting -> apps. There isn't a way to blacklist individual messages unless you perhaps snooze them in whatsapp? (I use hangouts and this is something you can do in hangouts)

Themes are just installed like regular applications, and then they'll show up in the theme manager menu. I use FI (Facade Interface) on the market, they're easily findable if you search CM11 theme on the play store.
[Nexus 5 General] SpasilliumNexus:
Is there any way to trigger Immersive Mode automatically when in certain apps? I use Tasker with Secure Settings but the option is unavailable as shown in my screenshots. And I can't use GravityBox because of obvious reasons.

EDIT: nvm. found a solution.
[Nexus 5 General] niv3d:
[MENTION=2659178]jxr94[/MENTION] hey bro hit me up on hangouts
[Nexus 5 General] uint8_t:
does anybody know the app to block from hover to get rid of the google now weather notifications?
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
Settings>apps>google search.

Black list it from hover and you should be all set.
[Nexus 5 General] imex99:
Quickest question, trying to get something cleared up.... I'm already on 4.4.4

If your on 4.4.2 base with PA, u have to update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4, PA doesn't do that for you, correct?
[Nexus 5 General] uint8_t:
thx! i will give it a try :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
The ROM is the firmware. Whatever version the ROM is on is the version your device will be on.

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
That is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

For some reason, long pressing Hover notifications doesn't give me any options (I'm on RC2), open any prompts, etc. Is this normal?

Now I only have to find a way to increase SOT/Battery Life without decreasing performance and my Nexus 5 will be just perfect :D

EDIT: On another topic, what are your thoughts on modified libraries/gpu drivers? Do these play nice with PA?
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
You can't perform the long press action on hover, it has to be the notification in the status bar.

Messing around with kernels is how you'll best find that combo, and I do not dabble in the modified libs/drivers, I just use ART.
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
ART on PA? I was going to change from Dalvik to ART but a scary msg popped up saying that PA might not support ART and I could get crashes and whatnot xD Will try it to see if it's stable.
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
Read that message carefully.

The TEAM doesn't support art the same as google doesn't support it. Its still in beta stages even from google....

Reading comprehension goes a long way with messages like that..

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
Read it, its just that I didn't expect a serious msg like that from a ROM. I know about ART being in beta (though supposed to be adopted by google by the time 4.5 releases) and have used it previously. Have to say, the seriousness of the warning made me balk :p
[Nexus 5 General] Pirateghost:
It's practically the same message cm says too.

I'm sure there are other Roms out there with a similar message.

I'm not sure how it could be taken so seriously. Its simple. Its not supported by the team and don't report bugs if you are running it.

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
I was just voicing my honest opinion as a first time user, not criticizing your support, or lack of thereof, of ART. Seeing that msg one could wonder if something will go horribly wrong by switching to ART.

Wouldn't know about other Roms, seeing as this is my first one. And of course I wouldn't dream of reporting bugs while running ART as it's specifically stated that you shouldn't.

As a first time Rom user I'm sure I'll ask or say stuff that is painfully obvious to power users or developers, but it will surely be of help if you intend to reach other demographics.

As said before, I'm enjoying the PA experience so far.
[Nexus 5 General] brockkk:
Art is running ballin for me
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
I am using PA RC2..from yesterday,hover isnt working in notifications..I reflashed rom..still no luck..I installed xposed module..but uninstalled that and reflashed the rom..still it isnt working..help plzz..:(
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
^^^ Even if you already activated it in the notification panel?

Tapatalked from my Xperia
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
Have you turned it on in the notification panel?
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
sorry..I just now get the meaning of that switch..thanks a lot bro :)
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
Its a me again! lol

I'm using Inmersive mode, but when I choose the option to make the status bar visible, I don't get notification icons (such as msg apps, email) besides Hover. I will get a msg, it will show up in Hover and after it dissapears, the status bar will be clean without showing the msg icon. It doesn't happen when using full immersive mode (icons will show up just fine). Normal behavior?
[Nexus 5 General] rohit25:
****ing awesome.... i left my phone overnight with wifi on... and location in high accuracy.... and my battery is down @ 4% in 10hrs 46mins... wtf...

this rom is bloody awesome....

[Nexus 5 General] dlsygaco:
Hybrid plz PA so that i wont have to use TSB module :'(
[Nexus 5 General] brockkk:
Have a kind of noob question. Been using the ROM for about a week and noticed that sometimes when I click a notification in hover it will open it up in a floating window and other times it won't. I'd there some sort of behavior I'm missing? Sorry I tried to troubleshoot myself.
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
which app notification?
[Nexus 5 General] brockkk:
Both hangouts and fb messenger.
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
my wife's N5 is actually still in very old PA build but our other two phones in the house also on PA RC2 and hover is working nicely(no tap issue in hangouts or FB)

anyways, wait for the new PA build to drop today then try and observe it again
[Nexus 5 General] Smallsmx3:
Maybe well get hybrid today. And maybe hover will be integrated with the heads up code
[Nexus 5 General] Nnyan:
Is it possible to turn off immersive mode?
[Nexus 5 General] Smallsmx3:
yes in quick settings
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
For Non-Xposed users, My center-clock/small nav-bar mods updated for PA-4.4_Final

Test and feedback as I used new apktool jar files in de/re-compiling and not sure if it will cause any issue in modding framework-res.apk(for small nav height). If any problem, just flash the auto-generated Undo zip under your "/sdcard/UniversalFlasher" folder or re-flash the ROM.

[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Folks, hoping someone can help me out here. I am on PA 4.4 RC 2, with 4.4.3 radio, do I need to flash 4.4.4 separately before dirty flashing latest PA? Or will dirty flash automatically upgrade my radio?
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
the ROM is separate from the radio/baseband

you can decide to remain on the old radio or flash the new radio, observe which one will give you better signal, you can always go back to old radio anyway anytime
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
Radios are only in the factory image ROM.

There is a radio zip for hammerhead in the android development section. You could flash only that to update your radio, then flash the latest PA.
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Awesome, thank you! So will I only have to flash the radio .img (coming from 4.4.3) or will I also have to flash boot.img, etc?
[Nexus 5 General] Rycon33:
It's recommended to update the radio but not really compulsory.

For boot.img, it is flashed also when you flashed the ROM(it is included in the ROM's zip).
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Thanks for the clarification!
[Nexus 5 General] fugn:
Small nav frame working fine for me.

Thank you!

[Nexus 5 General] apoorv24:
Since the last two updates (RC2 and final), I am facing the issue of launcher widgets and screens disappearing after a dirty flash... I did not face this issue earlier even though I have been dirty flashing this ROM since forever.

Are there others also who are facing this issue in these recent builds? Also does anyone know how to avoid as it is irritating to add all the widgets again after an update. :thumbup::)

Edit: I am using gel launcher.
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
I'd say don't dirty flash.

But even backing up with Titanium backup you still need to reset widgets afterwards. And if a widget is the only thing on a screen then that screen is eliminated.
[Nexus 5 General] baxadfrukt:
thanks. that was my problem [emoji13][emoji106]

[Nexus 5 General] viperguy212:
As soon as they announced the "heads up" notifications my brain instantly responded with "you mean hover?"

Guess I'm spoiled.
[Nexus 5 General] Sonone:
i had reported this before didn't get much response cause probably maybe its only me who might have experienced it!

when i install PA!

the steps i do is!

1) manually clean dalvik system cache and data.

2) tried normal factory reset as well!

3) install rom with gappps in queue

4) or do it individually

5) after installing wipe cache and dalvik

6) reboot

(installation is a success always)

i have tried t on an aosp rom and i have also tried it on a fresh install of stock rom by re seting everything!

now everything works well for the first time.

after i reboot i just loose everything on my sdcard

it DOESN'T get deleted or moved (cause after restoring nandroid backup everything is in place)

a couple of reboots or fixing permissions (idk which of them is the one that fixes it) i can see the contents!

the sdcard is like on a new phone nothing no images no other stuff!

most horrifying part is that after rebooting in the recovery the recovery also is blank nothing there as well!

(it even looses its theme)

so i reboot it and i go to the recovery manually after a couple of attempts everything randomly comes back to being normal in phone as welll as recovery

the sd card contents can be viewed when phone is connected to my pc,(viewed on pc)

this was accompanied twice by UID errors i goggled it but it doesn't seem both the issues are related

and it has happened without that as well.

this was on the beta version then on rc1 and also final release!

HELP

:(

can such issues be reported in the main thread!?
[Nexus 5 General] simonarturo:
I'd say that it qualifies for the development thread, though it's not my call to make.

You might want to add your current configuration: kernel, patches, runtime, etc.

You could try to flash your stock system.img and boot.img in order to go back to stock and try again.

I'm sure one of the developers will be able to help you sort out your problem
[Nexus 5 General] Sonone:
m quite stock now!

and was quite stock at the time of installation!

now for reliability purposes i have switched to stock!
