I like paranoid android because of the ability to change the ui of individual apps without needing with ppi

I like Cyanogen Mod. You should maybe try it if it is on Jelly Bean/Nexus 7.

I installed glazed jellybean almost an hour after receiving the nexus 7. And, to be blunt. It is AWESOME. awesome is not enough credit for it. It has not crashed once on me, and the beats audio, xperia play engine, and more just make it worth while for me. It is overall, quicker than the stock.

thanks for the input ima try thing one out

The multi window ui is Dependant on the touch wiz framework. Its not impossible. But who knows, maybe someone will take it on eventually

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.

Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.

You need to refer to the other annoying threads asking the same thing. You want multi window, get a note 2.

[Q] Lag, lag, lag...

I love that there's a great selection of ROMs for the Find 5. My problem is that they all run really smooth at first but then start to lag badly after installing apps. I barely modify any of the launcher settings. I've experienced this with every ROM I have flashed. I am using TWRP and always reset to factory settings and wipe the system before installing a ROM and I still experience lag. Am I doing anything wrong or any ideas on what to do to get rid of the lag?

You getting lag on stock also? I haven't noticed any real lag anywhere :-/
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

When I was on stock I would get a little lag, and the UI in general would be choppy, some frame drops. Its worse when I flashed any of the ROMs. At first its smooth, then it starts to slow down.

Stock firmware.. Either the betas or "official" releases.
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

On both Official and Beta firmware, I get the same experience. CM 10.1 has been the best for me so far bit it still lags quite a bit. I see people post that some custom ROMs are as smooth as a stock Nexus 4 but I can't get close to that at all with any of them. I have a Nexus 4 and its buttery smooth. I just wish I can get my Find 5 to be as smooth....then I'd be extremely happy.

Well if you think about it. It's never going to be as quick as the nexus 4
Oppo find 5 = Qualcomm s4
resolution = 1080 full hd
Nexus 4 = Qualcomm s4
resolution = 720 hd
The processor is getting pushed a lot harder.

I've been on firmware 5/14 and 2 days lag free....

Pure Stock Project

Hello guys!
After trying and trying to get cdma stock rom working on gsm I realized that it was impossible LOL.
So I decided to start a new project instead: I called it the "Pure Stock Project".
It is a rom based on. 79 firmware, modded by me to look like cdma.
Let me know what you guys think, and if I should release it, screenshots in attachment!

Thank you man :good:
The only thing is that some semc apps use a button reference in the SemcGenericUxpRes, with a white text color, so in apps like dialer text is sometimes hard to see in some buttons
I'm trying to find a solution, since it's impossible to decompile and correctly recompile that framework.

but 1 question
have you tested any games on it?
why free ram is that much low
are you using a 720p kernel?

gaming on GB is always good, ram depends on your kernel, 720p kernel on GB is recommended (or doomkernel)
i have usually 240mb ram in stock GB - never faced any problems in the heaviest games. ram and benchmark-numbers (especially antutu) is just numbers-porn.

And yeah, 720p kernel there

It's not only the look:
most of the code is taken straight from the 2.3.3 sources that google released, that's why we cannot port it

fixed grid_selector
changed SemcButton text color to black
Still To-do:
try to mod lockscreen to be like cm7
mod dialer to look like AOSP

Well, I think that the easiest way for now is to mod the drawables themeselves (sure I'll have to resize them).
Btw, next time you logcat, search for Errors (logs that start with "E:" ).

Actually, I tought of implementing ADJ tweaks and adrenobooster v0.7 by default, since it's still a stock rom, not an AOSP rom like cm7
In other words, I've changed most of the png's in the framework-res.apk (hard work lol), systemui.apk, most of the app to match cdma's icons, and other changes that I don't remember, so I don't think it should be easily used as a base rom

Well u made it so u mess with it,

[MOD] 8-BIT and Super Smash Bros. SOUNDPACK (updated 11-1-14)

UPDATE 10/2014
Hi All, I was asked to share my 8 bit sound pack with you all. I always enjoyed the simplistic 5 channel sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System (80's Baby) and since I have 8bit icons, wallpaper, etc I wanted matching sounds. Any comments are welcome the aren't perfect for everyone. If you have an idea for a better sound for a specific action or other ringtones or notifications, I am all ears.
Included in this .zip are all ui sounds, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Warning this .zip DOES replace your ui sounds, but DOES NOT erase your notification or ringtones simply adds some 8bit ones.
I used this mod with my nexus 4 and been using it forever with aosp based rom (RASTAKAT/L Preview) on my Nexus 5. I am only posting now because the forum is quite quiet lately. If anyone would like to take my little mod and use it in their work just give credit where credit is do.
All the zips are in one folder please ensure that you select the right one for your phone.......

Sup everybody, I just completed the SSB soundpack and I was wondering if anyone would like to give it a try and give me some feedback.
So the pack is inundated with SSB sounds from the UI to the alarms, and when you get a call the crowd cheers for your main SSB character.
If you like SSB Melee, PM, or SSB4 this might be for you.
Feedback is really appreciated.
--quick notes-- works with Lollipop or Jellybean. revert is now in main post^^. revert works for Lollipop or JellyBean.
