[size=+1]3.5 What’s the best kernel for this rom?[/size]
In moles's words: "the best kernel is probably the one that ships with the rom."
But in general it’s totally up to you which kernel you prefer and want to use. Make sure you read the corresponding kernel threads and don’t listen to „…this kernel is the best, for sure!“. Maybe try them all and see which one fits to your needs.
[size=+1]3.6 Which kernel is included into this rom? / Why the colors looks different than they used to?[/size]
Starting with PA 3.92 4.3 JSS15J of 3rd of August we are back on calibrated halfbreed kernel again (pa_mako-Kernel-4.3_JSS15J_HALFBREED.zip).
Use the following one if you want Googles colors on PA: pa_mako-Kernel-4.3_JSS15J_GOOGLESTOCK.zip
Use the following one if you use any STOCK 4.3 JWR66V ROM: pa_mako-Kernel-4.3_JWR66V_HALFBREED.zip
before:
[size=-2]posted on G+ 18.05.2013[/size]+Francisco Franco will make dedicated kernels for this project. Think of it as a friendship or an endorsement on both sides. We will not add kernel tweaking to the rom but his custom made PA kernel will expose all needed interfaces if you want to go into that. If not you can expect a faster experience, usually better battery life, all the things people love about his kernels. This should theoretically happen for all Nexus platforms which is great.

[size=+1]3.7 What’s the difference between the kernels uploaded?[/size]
They have a different color calibration (halfbreed and Google). Besides they are stock kernels made by Google. For more information in terms of gamma settings n stuff, visit the linked thread to Let's calibrate Mako…
[size=+1]3.8 I flashed a custom kernel and now I'm experiencing graphical issues?[/size]
[Size=+1]Make sure the kernel u're using is made for JSS15J builds if you're using PA! Check the OP of related kernel threads[/size]
For more information on different kernel builds check:
[INFO] Android 4.3 JSS15J vs. JWR66V, Custom Kernels and Screen/Graphic issues]
[size=+1]3.9 How to enable PIE?[/size]
a) power menu, then choose Full Screen (PIE)
or:
b) open quick settings and press the PIE tile
To customize PIE in matters of gravity, style, size etc. go to settings-->toolbars into section PIE CONTROLS.
[size=+1]3.10 Is it possible to use PIE with status/notification bar?[/size]
1. disable fullscreen mode (PIE) using tile or power menu
2. SETTINGS-->HYBRID PROPERTIES-->INTERFACE and set the navbar to 0%
Note: You will only have the bare PIE as a navigation replacement without any further information and actions due to the fact these things can be found in the status bar.
[size=+1]3.11 How can I disable PIE and NAVIGATION BAR in case I want to use a different navigation replacement?[/size]
1. SETTINGS-->HYBRID PROPERTIES-->INTERFACE and set the navbar to 0%
2. SETTINGS-->TOOLBARS-->TRIGGER AREA and set it to 'none'
Now you have no navigation buttons either on expanded (without status bar) or non expanded desktop (with status bar)
[size=+1]3.12 How can I change the colors of PIE?[/size]
PIE is using the colors you define for navbar, navbuttons, status icons etc.
You can change colors for almost all apps in a stroke:
1. SETTINGS-->HYBRID PROPERTIES-->INTERFACE-->GLOBAL COLORS
or
you can change colors individually app per app:
2.a) SETTINGS-->HYBRID PROPERTIES-->APPS
2.b) using the quicksettings tile HYBRID PORPERTIES within the app you want to change-->Swipe to colors.
PER APP COLORS overwrite GLOBAL COLORS for the apps you changed individually. Unchanged apps will take the GLOBAL COLORS.
[Size=+1]NOTE regarding 'enable per app color':[/size]
DISABLE it means you fall back to the default colors given by PA Team.You can't change any color!
ENABLE it means you can define GLOBAL COLORS or individual colors on per app basis.
So most likely you have to enable it!
[Size=+1]NOTE regarding 'small style changes to PIE‘ since build of May26th:[/size]
Status icon color is linked to the navbar color for PIE from now on! There’s no chance to change navbar color for PIE individually.
[size=+1]3.13 How can I set the navigation bar and/or status bar transparent?[/size]
For STATUS BAR use the quick settings tile HYBRID PROPERTIES within the app, go to colors and use the alpha slider within status bar color
For NAVIGATION BAR it is only possible for your launcher due to the fact your launcher is the only app that can draw underneath. Use instructions above.
HEX CODES FOR TRANSPARENCY
#00000000 - 100% transparency with black
#3F000000 - 75% transparency with black
#7F000000 - 50% transparency with black
#BF000000 - 25% transparency with black
Note: IMO statusbar transparency only makes sense for your launcher. A full transparent statusbar within an app means you getting the background color of it (at its best). This might work with PIE and STATUSBAR but in any other mode or UI it looks weird if you ask me. In fact some apps like maps even going crazy!
[size=+1]3.14 When PIE is activated the bottom part of the screen becomes unresponsive. How to fix this?[/size]
SETTINGS->TOOLS->reduce PIE trigger area
[size=+1]3.15 How to enable HALO? I can't see HALO anywhere on my screen.[/size]
1. Change your Interface layout to PhoneUI or PhabletUI and disable full screen
2. Press the blue circle in notification bar.
3. You can 'hide HALO after activity'. If ticked HALO will show up on an incoming notification and hides after a few seconds. Find that option in SETTINGS-->TOOLBARS in section STATUS BAR.
4. If it just disappears out of nowhere the following post might help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41650766&postcount=26070
[size=+1]3.16 How to disable HALO?[/size]
by default with checked 'reverse HALO' in SETTINGS-->TOOLBARS:
double tap the bubble, hold and drag it to the 'X' on top of screen
or
with unchecked 'reverse HALO' in SETTINGS-->TOOLBARS:
tap, hold and drag it to the 'X' on top of screen
[size=+1]3.17 Why HALO does not react for this and that situation?[/size]
[size=-2]posted on G+ 05.05.2013[/size]
It simply reacts to the regular ticker, the one you know from the statusbar. ticker has its own rules implemented by google as to not tax the user too much. HALO reacts every time androids generates a genuine tick.
if it doesn't respond at all, not even to your touch you have some crazy hacky stuff installed. get rid of that!!! TOUCH CONTROL, kernels that mess with responsiveness and overlays, etc.

[size=+1]3.18 How do I prevent getting notfications on HALO/How to create a blacklist?[/size]
SETTINGS-->APPS-->[app name]-->check 'blacklist from HALO'
Note 1: blacklisted apps do not pinging HALO. Though the notification will still appear in the bubble scrolling through notifications.
Note 2: blacklisting persistent notifications has no effect on HALO. You have to uncheck 'show notifications' in settings-->apps-->[app name]
[size=+1]3.19 How can I create a whitelist for HALO?[/size]
SETTINS-->TOOLBARS-->HALO POLICY and tick 'whitelist'
To add apps to your whitelist just do the same steps as you would do for blacklisting apps.
Note: Think it's quite clear but I will mention it anyway. If you choose whitelist all notifications are disabled by default but the ones you checked for whitelist.
[size=+1]3.20 How do I clear a recieved notification from HALO?[/size]
Simply tap the bubble and swipe up.
[size=+1]3.21 Is it possible to theme HALO?[/size]
Not included in PA ROM right now. But there are threds on XDA on how to theme HALO.
[size=+1]3.22 How can I add Facebook Messenger to HALO)))?[/size]
Google messenger (G+) and Facebook messenger (FB) sharing the same name when adding apps to HALO))). You can add only one at a time: By default it is G+
-->freeze G+, add FB to HALO))) and unfreeze G+
[size=+1]3.23 Why I'm not able to install any .apk from sdcard?[/size]
The install button-gate. Google disables that button as a security measure to prevent apps from installing stuff via overlay/virtual click. without it apps could install trojans without your interaction. HALO is an overlay. no way we could have seen that - although im not sure if switching it off is the right thing.

[size=+1]NOTE on G+ for the builds starting from May 26th:[/size]
Googles anti overlayprotection that blocked the install button is temporarily fixed in this one.

[size=+1]3.24 How can I turn on wireless display on PA?[/size]
change the layout of 'settings' to the default of 360p. Press apply and you should see the activation switch.
[size=+1]3.25 How can I switch users when I have enabled multiple users?[/size]
1. enable lockscreen rotation in SETTINGS-->LOCKSCREEN-->check 'allow rotation'
2. turn display off and on
3. turn device to landscape mode and choose the user you want
[size=+1]3.26 Where is the Theme Chooser?[/size]
It's gone for now and maby will never come back, since the dev wanted 'to get rid of theming engine sooner or later. [..and] would have not merged it in klp - its out now because it messed up googles 4.3 code so badly'
Alternatively you can use Xposed Framework which has a plugin for cm's theme chooser. Search on XDA
[size=+1]3.27 Do I have to flash SuperSu or Superuser to get or keep root permissions?[/size]
For most apps, no. For others, yes.
For example if you're using a custom kernel and it's related tweaking app you have to flash SuperSu (recommended over Superuser by most of the devs from kernel threads) to keep root permissions.
Flashing SuperSu on top will become obsolete in the future when code is cleared entirely.
Link to SuperSU by Chainfire: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
steps:
flash PA ROM
flash SuperSU
flash PA Gapps
wipe cache and dalvik
reboot
[size=+1]3.28 Touchboost and UNITY 3D what does that mean?[/size]
Touchboost = A raise in processor frequency upon touch event
Unity 3D = game engine
[size=+1]3.29 How can I disable dual panel mode for settings app?[/size]
SETTINGS --> HYBRID PROPERTIES --> APPS --> choose SETTINGS app and change layout to 360p (phone UI) on the first page. The default size for phone UI is 320dpi if you want it all stock like.
You can do all that even faster if use the QUICK TOGGLE for HYBRID PROPERTIES within the settings app.

That feature isn't available yet.
I've read this, still confused. Where exactly do we theme the pie?
I can't find the "app" for the pie in the list...
edit, realized that it takes the colors from the nav bar for each specific app.
Thanks mate

Re: ParanoidAndroid Help Thread and FAQ
I've asked this over in the PA thread to no avail. So hopefully someone here can help me out. I'm a user that loves themes. Unfortunately pa doesn't pay well with them, it doesn't allow contacts, messaging, or the keyboard to be themed through the chooser. Anyone have a flashable zip that has the themeable versions of these? I would really appreciate it.

Re: ParanoidAndroid Help Thread and FAQ
Hi,
I've been using PA for many weeks now and I think it's the best ROM for the N4.
I got a question about the quick toggles.I know that you can't access them the usual way in expanded desktop but nova gestures also don't work. Is there any way to access them?
Audio I can't get the per app color for pie to work. It works fine when I use the navigation bar, but when I switch to pie it doesn't change.
Thanks

Hi! I have two huge problems. I'm on latest pa with stock kernel and multi touch isn't working for most of the time. Second problem is that the navigation bar buttons nearly don't work: I see the animation for pressing the buttons but nothing happens. Sometimes I have to tap long and sometimes I have to tap rapidly again and then it suddenly works. I'm on stock view.

Nope, sorry. I think this has something to do with PA being AOSP. Either that or the gapps package. Can't remember which was the cause.

Multi touch works fine for me. Nav bar buttons work fine too. Try a different rom and see if your touch screen works properly?

i wiped all, including the rom, and flashed again. now it works all fine.
only issue that occur to me right now is that the storage is displayed two times in windows explorer when it is connected to my win7x64pro
Im running the latest version and things are going well for the most part.
However, when the keyboard is open and the screen locks, the keyboard will stay open on the lock screen so I cannot unlock the phone. Only the menu button from PIE unlocks the phone. Is this a bug? shouldnt the keyboard always be minimized on the lockscreen?

Are you sure you are running the latest build? I had this in the 18 JAN build, but it's been fixed in the 21 JAN build. Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache if you are running the 21 JAN build.

Hi guys,
Not sure...if this is been discussed earlier or not....or if this is a common feature across all the roms...however just wanted share....
When we pull down the notification bar....you can get both power widgets or quick setting panel.....as :
1. If you pull the bar by putting your fingure on the left side of bar then power widgets are seen.
2. If you pull the bar by putting your fingure on right side of screen then quick setting panel is seen.
I have tested it on mackay rom...can you seen on others too.
Thanks,
Erpurohit
Yes this is intended. I do believe that there is an option to set this in System > Quick Settings panel > Quick pulldown so yes this is probably across all 4.2.2 devices and certainly available on all CM roms.
So, yes this is a feature but you've probably posted this for those who didn't know.
Like the above poster said it's a feature you can enable in your system settings in CM, apparently Mackay added it as default in his own fork.
I didn't like it seeing as I always pull down the bar from the sides, but it's a nice feature for people that can get used to it for sure.
I had not noticed before, it really is

I can't post in there due to my noob status, but I think I found a reproducible bug.
System Settings -> Interface -> Notification Drawer -> Quick Settings Panel -> Quick Settings style -> Tiles Pressed Background
I try to pick a new color, but I can't really find anywhere to confirm the choice. If I click on the current hex value, Settings crashes. I wanted to try to make it blue to match some of the other icons that are blue when active. With the all grey ones it's hard to tell if they are on/off.
Overall this is a really cool ROM, kudos to SlimRoms team

Hello. i have just flashed my note3 with aryamod 7.2 lolipop and lean kernal 6.3. The phone works fine, but there is this exclamation sign on the top left corner on the phone. I have tried pulling down the notification drop-down to check for any notification relating to the exclamation, but not a single hint is shown. Also, i could not see any progress bar e.g. how many percent done for downloading file or app update, on the notification panel. Another issue is that i am having the information such as rom, uptime, phone model etc shown on my lock screen, how do i turn that off?
thank you for responding:laugh:
