Nexus 7 PA 2.12 Wifi issues..

Posting here as I'm a noob, and consequently can't post to the P.A page directly.
Since this 2.12 update i've been having wifi issues, like from where i am positioned normally I get 1 bar, but its a steady one bar, now i'm often finding i have no internet connection in the same places as i would before.
I did do a dirty flash, so that is most probably where all my problems are arising from, but i'm still really new to this, and any step i take, i worry and fret over.
had some tablet ui bugs after running games, along with all applications running twice when i open recent apps. I don't know where why or when this recent apps double bug occurs, but i've come across it a few times. I believe the tablet ui bug may be related to when i set bobclock (widget) to force, adjusted the size on restart, but then would encounter the icons dropped off bottom of screen, and everything just out of place, like its reverted to old ui.
oh another issue, which has been mentioned many times before, is inability to use google play store, i've fiddled with all the different dpi settings and size, nothing seems to work.
a clean wipe would include
backing up apps/data/p.a sys pref(?)
wiping
cleaning cache's
flashing the same 2.12 p.a zip i dirty flashed before
caches again? or gapps
any dumbing down would be greatly appreciated

Just to say version 2.13 is out. You might want to try updating in the first instance...

oh.. so there is. well i guess i can just skip over 2.12
if doing a dirty flash, when reinstalling gapps, do i have to have deleted them prior to this? or will it just replace/update the old files?

No, you don't need to. Just wipe both caches and install the new version and gapps.

What sort of help are you looking for? I can try to answer any questions you might have, but your best bet is to search the paranoid android forum in the 'Original Development' section.

Wouldn't Kernel be more specifically tied to WiFi issues? I don't know what PA does to the kernel they include, but if your up to it, you could try another kernel, like franco.Kernel

Oh. Yes. i've been on that page and have trolled through a few hundred pages.
I think I just need to become a bit more familiar with everything in regards to roms flashing and such, its not difficult but i fear i'm sure to do something in the wrong order,
yes i've read guides before you point me there.
gosh this 5 min wait timer for new people is getting on my nerves i didn't think i'd be wanting to reply so fast, but when you guys are on it like this, i can't turn down that kinda service!
another question while i wait for my timer to finish.
initially i flashed pa. 2.11 then gapps along with doing cache business.
since then i flashed 2.12, but not gapps, and consequently having issues with play store (cant open)
can i just go to flashing 2.13 when it finishes downloading and then flash gapps after?
is the latest gapps jb-20120726-signed?

a kernel is one of these things i have no clue about.
i had a mac many years ago, and that got a kernel error, so my knowledge is limited to that its something root related, or there abouts anyway xd
How does one go about implementing one of these kernel do-hickeys?
on a side note, my wireless icon used to show grey and blue.
blue meant connected, grey, i'm not sure.. sometimes worked sometimes didn't
ever since going to 2.12 i've had nothing but grey, seem to have connection as i am downloading from goo, but as mentioned in initial post, connection is definately worse than it was before hand.. any ideas?

Sorry I took a while, I was in class. First, you always have to reflash gapps when you flash an update or a new ROM.
When you change to a different ROM (i.e. from Slim Bean to Paranoid) it's recommended to do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing the new ROM.
So the procedure for new ROMs is this. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.
The procedure for a ROM update is the same, you just omit the factory reset.
The latest gapps is gapps jb-20120810. You can download it in Goo manager.

A kernel is what governs your CPU clock speeds and voltage levels, as well as some other things. To flash a kernel, you don't have to wipe anything, just flash the zip file. Whenever you flash a new ROM, it changes your kernel to whatever is stock for that ROM. So if you use a custom kernel, you will have to reflash it.

p.a 2.13
might anyone have any idea why after;
wiping both cashes and installing p.a 2.13 then gapps
my youtube comes up with an error from the beginning, unable to start, same goes for if you click it in the app drawer.
i fiddled about with dpi size force and such, but to no avail.
some settings transferred but not all, like the ui, after switching ui back to what i wanted, tab small/mid
i started to recieve trebuchet has stopped working, this keeps popping up but you can just leave it in the back ground and work around it..
wish i could post this in the correct thread..
ah well.
thinking of just re-flashing them both, will do whatever i did this previous time, see if the error returns.
edit: just finished the reflashing of both, no trebuchet error as expected, the youtube one is back, same as the previous flash.
i really don't think i've done anything wrong, but i haven't seen anyone else reporting this error..
edit edit: simple uninstall and reinstall for youtube and problem solved.
hope its an issue localised to me.

Yeah I would reflash. It could also be a corrupted download, try re-downloading paranoid android 2.13 and then flashing the newer zip to see if that fixes it.

Likelyhood of seeing a 4.2 ROM for the Tab?

Does anybody know if 4.2 roms will be worked on for this or is pretty much dead with development for this device?

Are you asking if from Samsung or XDA? As far as on XDA; 4.2 has barely finish merging for CM in the last few days. I am sure we'll see it when it starts coming out for other devices. We'll definitely not see it from Samsung.

We have great developers who will work on this.

No no I didn't mean from Samsung. Lol I wouldnt expect much from Samsung any more. Upgrading to 4.2 would be too generous on their part to do for us. I did mean from xda developers. I guess I am just impatient because I thought something would have popped up now from someone even if it was just an aosp based rom.
I guess I will just wait a bit longer and hope something pops up sooner rather than later.

Samsung has already said that they would not be releasing Jelly Bean at all for the 1st generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7xxx. There are already couple of Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 unofficial builds out. For example, Pershoot has a CM10 and Triptosyll has published an AOKP build.
4.2 AOSP has a bunch of quirks and bugs that are just now getting ironed out, I also have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.2 has been a bit of a rough road. Triptosyll mentioned in his thread that he wouldn't be working on 4.2 until AOSP has stabilized.
From a user perspective there isn't that much different between 4.1 and 4.2, the biggest changes are framework support for the multiuser feature. Since our Galaxy Tabs have only 1GB RAM, don't expect that feature to work well at all in 4.2 anyway. The other big feature is the 2 finger swipe for quick settings and toggles. However, coming from CM10 or AOKP, you already have better toggles available in the base notification shade. So don't get too impatient for 4.2. 4.1 has most of the goodies already.

I just installed that one, works well, haven't tested the microphone yet. You guys should give it a try

Ok I finally tried a 4.2.1 build, the one form DDyno. This is the best this tab has performed. Its not as smooth yet as my galaxy nexus, I expected something comparable but I still have faith.
Everything works except for the new "voice search" from google. Video playback is awesome, and the stock android browser just flies. This is how this tab should have worked in the first place.

I got it a few days ago.
Although it looks and runs smooth I have an issue where I cannot add any data to the device.
Can't browse the device in windows explorer, download, update, take pictures, receive files through BT, etc.
Very strange, been reading and searching for the last few days but haven't seen anyone else comment the same.
8 more posts and I'll be able to ask for help in the correct thread.
Till then the tab is the most expensive clock I ever bought.

Perhaps you should clarify what you are unable to do on what android version. Are you using a nightly? If yes, then you need to enable USB computer connection using Settings > Storage > USB Computer connection (using icon on upper right corner) > Connect as Media device (MTP).

I already did that.
But since you asked for it:
Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 - GT-P7510 16GB
CWM Recovery v5.8.3.1 (not able to install higher version)
Previos ROM version: "boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-102411.zip"
Installed ROM version: "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Trough some other website I got some instuctions on installing the latest nightly.
But either the instructions weren't very clear or I skipped a few steps. (probably the later)
I did however take the roms from Cyano website. The wikipage did not have installation instructions yet.
Should have come here in the first place.......
Anyway,
After updating CWM from 4.0.0.4 to 5.8.3.1 installation went smooth. (install file was named "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" but no touch and no 6.0.1.0. Text color changed to babyblue and menu is slightly different from the previous version)
Wiped data/factory reset,wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache.
installed from zip file "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Reboot and everything looks good. WiFi, bluetooth, etc all seem to work.
However....
1-
I can access the tab through my computer. shows up as "Galaxy tab 10.1" somethimes as "gt-p7510"
IIn Windows explorer I see "internal storage" but can not browse this storage.
2-
I can not download anything. It force closes the browser.
3-
Bluetooth:
Pc and tablet pair nicely but sending files to the tab is not possible. "Storage issue"
4- I cannot download new/old nightly files.
5-
At first startup it did not ask for my google account. The one you need to access the market. Did not see/find the option under settings.
Have to log in through browser to download from the market. Which doesn't work because the operating system is convinced that there is no fre space resulting in a force closuse of the browser.
So in short, it seems I cannot add any files to the device. (5.3 Gb free)
Is there a workaround for this?
I do have access to the folder data/media/0/0/0/0/0/0 with my old files including the above mentioned droid installation roms, "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" and "US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip"
No Logcat sorry.
Any help on how to reverd back to my previous ROM or to get this one working would be highly appreciated.
Old ROM is prefered. Since I got whatsapp working on it.

Did you flash the recommended gapps package (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6e8kowyuc59zjc) after installing the ROM? This I would say are at the heart of your issues? However, if you are still having issues it might be worth following the instructions in this thread CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly Discussions. At worst, you might have to Odin back to stock ICS using this thread. Hope that helps!!

Now could be the problem.
I didn't since I read somewhere that it was optional.......
I am however now running correct CWM version 6.0.2.7 (recovery.tar.md5 file)
Tried reinstalling the rest but no improvement.
Is it possible to get this Gapps package on the tab via Odin?
Odin seems the only way to get anything done at the moment.
Thanx for the help. Feeling I'm getting closer to a solution.

Don't think there is. I think your best option is to flash a stock ICS ROM and start over. On the plus side, it should already have the ICS bootloader and recovery that you flashed. Follow the steps in nightly threads once you are back to stock.

Thanxs for the tip regarding flashing back to stock ROM!
I was so busy reading/searsching several threads about the problem that I never thought about starting from scratch.
But....
After having gone to stock ROM I tried again a few times.
Followed the instructions from the nightly thread.
Same issue,
Since I have to work again next week and don't have time to struggle with it I've decided to go back to Task650's V14 for now.
I'll wait a bit more for the "official" release and give it a try again.
Thanks again for the help!

It's a CM10.1 based ROM with a few customizations. I've changed to it from Task's and I don't have any regrets.

[Q] Help me pick a ROM

So, I just got my Nexus 4, and before I start playing with it, I'd like to go ahead and ROM it.
I want really good battery life, and lots of customization options for the UI.
I don't know a TON about ROMs aside from how to install them etc. I've done that a bit with several phones.
My big question is nightlies. I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall a new ROM every day, or even every week... I want one that I can install, and use for a long time that updates itself (like the stock ROM does with Google). My understanding of nightlies might be completely wrong, but it sounds like I have to reinstall the ROM every day?
What are your thoughts/opinions? I'm leaning toward CM10.1, but like I said, I don't want to have to reinstall every day. Does it auto update these "nightlies"?

If a nightly rom is fine you don't have to update it if you don't want to.

It wont auto-update. You have to flash it. And when new nightlies come out, there usually arent huge changes to the rom.
You can dirty flash the rom and all apps and settings should remain, however thats not the best way to install a rom for stabilty. Its recommended that you do a full wipe.
On a side note, if your looking for lots of customization options i wouldnt go with cm10.1. Try roms based on AOKP like carbon, liquid smooth, etc.
They have tons of settings to play around with which cyanogenmod lacks.

Well, most people that flash nightlies consistantly dirty flash the rom so that their stuff isnt wiped.
I honestly dont see the point of flashing nightlies every single time they come out.

When a new nightly comes out and you was it, just flash the new update rom on top of the old one. Don't worry about installing your apps again. As long as you don't do a factory reset your apps should be on your device.
The latest PA rom is May 26 in the alpha folder of goo.im.

Indeed, I cancelled the other downloads, and grabbed the May 26th one.
If I flash it on top of the other ROM, will my google account still be sync'd with the phone? That's how I update my contacts etc. Also text messages will stay? Settings will stay the same? Ringtones? All of it?

If you are coming from a different ROM you should probably do a full wipe.
Dirty flashing may cause bugs. But if you are upgrading the same ROM dirty flashing will allow you to keep everything.

What exactly is dirty flashing? I'm guessing flashing over the top of another ROM without doing a factory reset?

Yah dirty flashing is installing a ROM without fully wiping the previous one.
A lot of people seem to be complaining about goo.im download speeds. There's a couple mirrors on their g+ if its unbearably slow.

Leaving for movie with the wife, so they'll be done by the time we get home. They are mad slow from goo though:/

Indeed, I cancelled the other downloads, and grabbed the May 26th one.
If I flash it on top of the other ROM, will my google account still be sync'd with the phone? That's how I update my contacts etc. Also text messages will stay? Settings will stay the same? Ringtones? All of it?

Yes, everything will still be there as long as you don't initialize a factory reset.

Sweet. Including widget placement and alarm clocks etc etc?
That makes this ROMing thing a deal better to me. I was worried that i'd have to set everything back up every time, and that was a major turn off.
Thank you all so much for the very helpful input.

One of the cutesy things PAC does is blame every problem on something related to the old PAC-man game (I had to ask the team myself). So the FC refers to the split screen on the old PAC-man arcade game. It's not in the latest builds. Can't help you on the actual problem.

Hey shumash, unfortunately seeing apps quit (netflix on boot) with July 7. I'm going to dirty flash to Aug 12th and see if that stops the crashes. At first I thought it was caused by my xFloatingWindow mod from xposed! I lolled.

Don't dirty flash. I speak from experience, it really screws things up, to the point that only a complete TPToolbox cleanup fixed it. Suck it up, clear the caches, flash, and you'll find most everything works.

Surprisingly, the Aug 12 dirty flash fixed many issues I had. However, the SOD happens quite frequently. On the next PAC build, I will clean flash and post my results. Thanks for the hard work!

Oppo find 7

Hi,
Any suggestion for a stable ROM ?
Thank you all

You are asking what ROM to run in the paranoid android forum section.... What rom do you think we would suggest? Paranoid android of course....
#stayparanoid

Sorry and thanks

Paranoid is by far the best rom I had
Can't live two days on the stock rom (Sony)

Anyone with OPPO find 7 is running Paranoid ROM can tell us how is it and if there are any issues . thanks

I'm using The latest version of PA 4.6 beta on my find 7 QHD as my daily driver and love it.
Haven't noticed any major issues, battery life is really good. Wifi, 3G, and bluetooth all work flawlessly. (I haven't tried LTE because I haven't got it on my mobile plan)
The only issue that I've encountered is that, on a couple of games I have, sometimes they become slow and unresponsive (family guy game and 2014), I didn't have these problems on ColorOS.
PA 4.6 is currently beta so I'm not really concernecd and I think the minor issues will be ironed out in future updates.

Thank you very much

I have tried PA 4.6 Beta 5 today

Had a very bumpy ride with the first installation. I think I forgot to reset to factory settings, so it might be my fault.
Second installation was better. There are certain things I don't love:
Chrome browser runs on windowed version, no matter what setting you try to change.
Battery seems very short. I need to recharge halfway through my day.
I can't get the gestures to work when the screen is off. (double tap works great, nothing else).
Everything else is buttery smooth. Maybe I'm just unlucky with a few glitches here and there.

Chrome issue happens on any ROM with floating mode implemented. Its a google chrome issue. They have fixed it in their latest beta.
#stayparanoid

I just can advice you to use PA. It's my personal favorite

PA Lollipop where?
I have searched high and low. Where can I find PA 5.0.x for my Find 7?

Error downloading rom
Whenever I try to download the latest paranoid android rom for the find7s (qhd), I get an "error executing updater binary" message. I looked up and saw that you had to install the latest cyanogenmod nightly first, which I did, but I still couldn't get it to work. I first wiped everything (data,dalvik,cache) then I installed the cyano nightly, then I wiped the data, then I installed paranoid android and I still get the error. I am also running the latest twrp recovery (2.8.6.0). Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me out
