[Q] Nexus 7 Hide Home Screen Border?

Hey everyone, i'm a fresh member to the forums.
I got my nexus 7 yesterday and managed to root it and all that fun stuff with all the research i've done on this forum (you guys are amazing btw)
I have a question
When scrolling between home screens on my tablet the border of each home screen shows. Is there a way to hide it?
I'm running Paranoid Android (original) for Nexus 7 (jelly bean)
I've tried going through the settings and interface options but i've had no luck with such option.
Thanks!

You can't hide the blue border on the stock launcher. The only way is to switch launchers to something like Nova or Apex.

Ah, thanks!
So Nova and Apex's are themes? I'm not quite familiar with all the lingo just yet. I seemed to have found Nova in the Google Play store. Install and i'm good? I'm guessing i may have to play with the settings?

I have one more question, when a new ROM update is up.
Will backing up my stuff keep its settings? Cause when i flashed the updated ROM i had to flash GAPPS again and then it asked me to input my google information as if I were doing this for the first time.
Or is this something that i'm just going to have to get used to?

If you you flash gapps at the same time as the ROM update, you shouldn't have to re-enter your info.
So the sequence for flashing an update would be: reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, flash ROM update, flash gapps, reboot.
You shouldn't have to re-enter your Google info again if you follow those steps.
Also, you can backup your paranoid app settings in settings>paranoid settings>backup and restore. That way when you flash an update, you can just go back to settings and restore your paranoid settings for all your apps.

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Disable HALO if you want to install apk`s.

Geez. You know how to flash paranoid android but not how to search? This has been mentioned many times..

Disable screen filter if you by any chance using it
It happened to me yesterday and it was found it was caused by file screen.

Disable Halo, then you can install it.
If you actually looked through the PA thread, you'd see this has been answered over 50 times within the last few pages.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.

thanks

AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.

There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

[Q] Need help installing play store and other things on rooted NC 1.4.3

Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!

Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!

Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.
Follow this guide to replace your stock.

Fire HD 10 - Rooted but I wiped it and lost nova launcher

How do I get Nova launcher back on? I did a wipe to set it up for a new user and I forgot that I lost all the apps I had. It is rooted already and I still see kingroot but no launcher exist.

Hi - Fire HD 10 5Th Gen - the tool in the above link works perfect for me.
I just hate the lockscreen photo that I cannot change and I wish I could pout SU on instead of kingroot but it doesnt work for me. I removed Kingroot - its for my mother in law and she wont need root for anything
