[Paranoid (in RootBox)] System UI crash - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm having quite an inconvenient bug on my Nexus 4, when using the Tablet UI in Paranoid. The UI adapts well, but each time a notification arrives, I have this annoying pop up "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", and then the UI restarts.
I don't have this bug when using the stock UI, or Phablet UI. But I'd really like to use the Tablet UI, it looks way more practical for my use. So, if anyone has encounter this bug before me and has the answer, that'd be very cool.

Tablet UI vs PhoneTablet UI

Hi guys,
Just want to bring a question here, so what do you guys think about the stock 'PhoneTablet' UI vs Pure Tablet UI in nexus 7?
What do you think are the advantages or disadvantages?
I personally quite like the stock UI and with how the hybrid UI looks like. The only thing that i'm missing is the bottom right notifications and settings bar in the tablet UI.
So how about you guys?
I actually like it as i have used 7' honeycomb and ICS tablets and it always seems squished down at the bottom with the buttons and notifications, it doesn't feel squished at all on the N7
I would prefer landscape mode- because most of my apps run in landscape- so I wouldn't have to rotate the tablet after launching, but I'll wait it out till Google officially offers a rotation option for the home screen- hopefully in an OTA update.
I really like the pull-down notification screen in JB over the old pop-up box in ICS, etc..

Agree. I guess that is one of the reason why Google decided to use different UI on Nexus 7 than on previous uniform tablet UI. And i found the placement of the three bottom buttons in the center instead on the left corner was quite convenient too. It makes the bottom bar much cleaner and easy to reach with either thumb.
I'm just waiting for Chameleon to be released
I'm still using the stock UI but I've locked it in landscape, so everything runs in landscape mode, can't see any reason for me to want the tablet UI.

The Good and Bad LG Software Features

This is a thread for those coming from an AOSP ROM like Vanilla Android or CyanogenMod or even from other OEM overlays like Sense. What would you say are the good and LG features?
For me, good:
Heads up display implantation of incoming calls when screen is on that ensures you don't break your workflow.
Little hovering window to show a call is in loudspeaker in the background with the time on it
Though almost standardised, having call controls in the notification drawer
Bad:
Auto expanded notifications
Unable to disable the clips tray
Unable to remove toggles from within the drawer
Battery percentage being to the left of the battery
Unable to customise lockscreen
Implementation of software navigation keys breaks functions like hiding the keyboard
Customisation of the share intent with everything being ticked all the time
I only had my phone for half a day, but already some software feature I really like:
"Clip Tray" (Multi-clipboard).
Double-knock to wake and go to sleep (I don't use knock-code, haven't tried it yet)
And something I really don't like:
Keyboard sluggishness. When I type (using flow), it's always 1 or 2 words behind... I'm going to replace it quickly with Google keyboard or SwiftKey

Agree with you about the keyboard... I hate it. I was using s4 with keyboard ported from s5. Is sluggish and i keep typing space more often..
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
I've noticed that the keyboard is sluggish with more than one language selected.
I really like the keyboard. Haven't tried swipe input on it yet. Overall i'm really impressed by the UI. Its got great flat icons, beautiful selection of wallpapers and lots of options to customise.
Knock on and knock code are great. Clip tray is a very useful feature and the popup reply notifications for the messaging app are really handy and have stopped me from using Hangouts as my main SMS app.
The downsides so far are no search on server within the email app and no option to show the weather on the smart notice widget without turning on GPS. Also for some reason LG took out the wireless storage feature from the G2 which was very useful. They should have kept it.
Bad:
When adding contacts, the default option is to add to "Phone" with no way of changing it.
Oversharpening of text. More obvious on certain fonts with black text on white background.
Camera options are way too limited.
Overall I'm quite happy with the software. Looks pretty good and some of the added features are quite useful.

[Q] ROMs with DPI switching?

Hey there,
I'm just coming to the note 3 from the S3. I hope I made a good choice
I've always used AOSP ROMs with the ability to change dpi, else my device just feels clunky. Having more information on screen, akin to a PC, really boosts productivity.
Which ROMS (either AOSP or TW) support DPI switching? What's best from your experience?
With Note 3 however, TW or at least Samsung Keyboard seems to be necessary for just one reason - one-handed keyboard mode. Otherwise it seems AOSP can do everything just as well. I don't need any of the pen stuff personally, smart stay, etc. Is there a way to get a one-handed keyboard on AOSP?
Otherwise the TW apps are just slow and bulky IMO (for example messaging can't handle 10k sms without lag)
The S3 with paranoidandroid worked very well to force the browser to think its a 600p form-factor tablet and show tabs at the top of the window. SMS convos would show 10 messages in one window and same goes for email or contacts. This was super efficient and worked well! Why isn't this the norm?
you have many rom with multi dpi
just look in title of the thread

[Q] yoga 2 830 UI stutter on lollipop

Hi all
Has anyone got a fix for the slight ui stutter that seems to happen on nova and apex (and most launchers) ? is only a little but enough to annoy me have tried turning on GPU rendering , disabling hardware interface and loads of different launchers.
Its only a small issue for an otherwise great tab ! but just feel it shouldn't happen. everything loads at lightning speeds so makes no sense ... guessing its poor software optimization.
The Lenovo launcher is terrible and its clear they sped up the transitions to hide the choppiness.
Next launcher etc work very smoothly but the wallpaper bugs if i rotate the screen.
Would rather not root the tab as it will stop me watching NOW tv etc.
Ps tried super touch but no use
I discovered the same issue - switched to Action Launcher 3
I have a Yoga 2 830, manually updated to Lollipop 5.01 using the Intel tool. I always immediately replace the stock launcher with Apex. It was with Apex I saw saw the little graphical glitches. There appeared to be no pattern, occurrence or reason for it.
At any rate, I switched to Action Launcher 3. You get all the same features and functionality, plus it has a smaller memory footprint.
For the record, I'm rooted using the Intel FBRL and also used it to install the current Xposed Framework ZIP. Everything is peachy so far!

Lag pulling down notification drawer

Is anybody running into a major lag when pulling down on the notification drawer. It's weird because everything els like switching between apps is super fast but sometimes the notification drawer lags badly.
Sometime if you have high resource apps pending in the notification bar it does that. Like maps running alongside with music playing.

Not really the notification but going into settings panel from hitting the gear icon in the notification shade lags and will take a sec before the settings page loads.
I am getting lag everywhere and reboots
For anyone getting lag or stutters, be sure to check in Settings >> Accessibility, to see if any apps have access. If they do, it will definitely cause a significant amount of lag or stutter. This affects all android versions but is a bit more noticeable in Touchwiz.
@whittikins That did indeed fix the issue for me on my Samsung S7, Nova Launcher was the issue in my case.
