Pie slice thingy on paranoid - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can see all the settings for it but can't see how to actually enable it. I didn't want to post on the thread for fear of it getting lost amongst the sea of posts on the paranoid thread
Cheers to anyone that chips in...

If you enable expanded desktop mode (in the power menu) you should automatically get Pie controls. I don't know if there's a way you can have them while the softkeys are on but then again I don't see why you'd need them .
If you want the pie controls but still want your notification shade, check out this video (and subscribe to the guy too, he deserves it).

Enable expanded desktop (by long pressing power), it's "always enabled"

I did just find it....was googling....thanks very much for that

Pie will start working when there is no nav bar. Whether you achieve this by enabling Expanded Desktop or by changing nav bar to 0 dpi is up to you.

People won't thank anymore, eh..

Have you done this? I tried adding that line to my bulid.prop, but it had no effect. Reset the phone and still had a navbar. I know he was doing this on stock and I'm on PA3. Would that make a difference? Any ideas?

Set nav bar to 0 dpi in settings. It's built into PA.

I'd like to know if this is possible too.
Set Orientation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation
Pull down the notification bar and press the screen with spinning arrows icon, it will change to a padlock once it's pressed.
I have my DPI set to 160 which puts it in tablet mode, and still the lockscreen is only in portrait. I don't want an app that locks the orientation because I'm still about 50/50 on using portrait and landscape.

The Set Orientation app lets you set it to auto, the lockscreen will rotate with the tablet.
This does work. However I use widgetsoid in the notifications drawer, and with screen krien. enabled, I can't adjust brightness. Just and fyi, but figured someone else must use this combo as well. The screen orien. also makes some apps tough to use in landscape, such as songza.

if you have root, add this to your build.prop file in /system/build.prop/ and reboot.. launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

You could also flash a ROM like Paranoid Android which gives you control over what interface each app uses like phone, phablet, and tablet. This is probably not the solution you were looking for, but you did say any way to make the lock screen rotatable.

Tap and hold the notification, go to App Info and uncheck "Show notifications"

Thanks for the info, but after some days I have uninstalled the app as it has been the reason for short screen-freezes every x seconds which was kind of annoying.
CM10 supports lock screen rotation.

I use Ultimate Rotation Control. It rotates everything, including the lockscreen, & has different settings.

[FEEDBACK] What do you want in a ROM?

Hey Guys/Gals!,
Just wanted to make this quick thread and ask everyone what would YOU like in a ROM? I've been flashing all types of ROMs for a multitude of devices and have never made one before. That has changed, I'll be making and releasing my first ROM for this device.
It'll be built from source and will have any additional/available goodies I can bake in too So please let me know your thoughts and/or requests
Requests so far:
- Undervolting
- Button changing toolkit (Shapes and positions of the nav buttons so that everyone can choose their favorite )
- Ability to have the buttons and notification bar at the bottom, to save space
- A permanent menu button
- Combination of SuperNexus' battery life, ParanoidAndroid's hybrid modes, DPI central control, status bar and navigation color control, AOKP like ROM manager and tweaks
- SetCPU like control with profiles, system app mover built in, optional choice to click which apps to pre install
- GPS lock tweaks for faster GPS connection, undervolting (which was already said), custom vibrations, tablet style notification bar on bottom of the screen, center clock, custom led indicators for different apps, any other speed tweaks you can bake in!
- Expand desktop feature like on paranoidandroid!
- Built in boot loader changer.
- Paranoid Android, tablet mode + keys. Boss.

How so? Like for the nav buttons on the bottom?
Ability to have the buttons and notification bar at the bottom, to save space.
And a permanent menu button.
More specifically, being able to launch different shortcuts from the navigation buttons.
Possibly even having the ability to toggle the navigation buttons either by long pressing the back button or whatever, while returning with a swipe up from the button type thing.
Just some ideas that I've used on my TF201 running Eos.

It was supposed to remove the nav buttons when in full screen mode, but it never worked for me (Nexus 7)
Thanks again for the feedback everyone! Keep them coming

2 Features that I think I had in MIUI-XJ on the desire:
1. The ability to lock apps with a password / swipe code.
This was great for me as I could just swipe to unlock my phone, then lock down email and social networking apps. I wasn't concerned about the dialer or contacts.
2. In the same vein, MIUI also had private mode. Hit the button and your call history is hidden as well as all your SMS messages. Microsoft WP8 has the child mode. Something like that would be nice for those times when you hand your phone to someone else.

How to get an HD Widgets widget on the lock screen of 4.2?

Hey guys, I unfortunately upgraded to 4.2 and want to get rid of that awful clock on the lock screen. From what I've heard, you can get an HD Widgets widget on the lock screen and I want to do so, but I have literally no idea as to how to do so.
Can anyone help?
On the lock screen swipe right until you see the plus sign, tap on it and the unlock your screen the option for HD widget should be there if you have it installed!

When I swipe to the right, the clock tilts, but nothing else appears (the animation is similar to when you try to swipe to a homescreen but the one you're on is the last one, so it just stops).
I have also tried to add HD Widgets to the lock screen but when I swipe all the way to the plus sign it's greyed out and I cannot do anything other than log in. Strange.
Before I installed HD Widgets, I could click the + sign and I had the option to add the clock and a few other widgets.
This baffled me for a bit too.
You have to go into HD Widgets Settings>Widget sizes and enable lockscreen.

Already tried that myself, infact mine was already ticked for tablets, unticked for phones, so perhaps the latest version detects a tablet.
Anyway, this didn't work for me either. I can swipe to the plus sign, then that is about all I can do.

OTA update. And it solved the issue. I had the lockscreen state to disallow widgets. I'm dumb.

[Q] Paranoid Android Hybrid Settings color change?

I can't change any of the custom colors in Hybrid Settings for the apps or nav / note bars. I can get into the small menu with the options to change the colors but when you actually press them, the color menu where you pick the color takes up most of the screen and there is no way to "confirm" or "apply" the color that you picked. If you hit the back button nothing changes. Anyone know if maybe I'm missing something here? Or is this a bug? Maybe a bad flash? Help me out please.

Try making your modifications to the Hybrid Properties in Portrait Mode, rather than Landscape.
The Stock Color, Active Color, and New Color options should be visible that way.
Thank you so much. That should be fixed... I find it odd that things get lost to screen resolution because of orientation layouts are forgotten or just straight up not optimized for the device one builds it for. That's a bug one would think would be avoided at this stage being well into developmental builds. Thanks again for the tip. I'll report the bug and look for others like it.

Yes, Q Slide would be nice if you could put a flashlight in there, or something like that even though a whole other row of crap isn't needed. The main mod I would like is flashlight from the lock screen. Had it built into BAMF for my Nexus... so convenient.

Can't you do this already? Download an app like Flashlight - which gives you the ability to have a widget for a simple flashlight. Press once to turn on, again to turn off. Then, swipe left from the lock screen until you get the + Tap to add Widget, and add this flashlight widget.
