Hi xda,
I have a galaxy nexus on paranoid android 3.99 and there is a issue with the pie controls. Whenever I'm currently inside a application, I press to close all my recent apps and I do. When I close the apps, the phone goes back to the home screen. When I press the recent apps button at the home screen the last app i was in, it shows up as it was not closed but after about half a second, the phone changes screens and says no recent apps. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

If I understand you correctly, it's just an animation glitch
I reflashed and solved my issue with animations

Just wondering for those of you who have the device already, have you guys found some neat features/tricks using 4.0 that haven't been documented or heavily advertised?
I would love to make a list of these features for other users to explore...
Lets get this started
List:
Reserved........
I know it's documented,but it was still a surprise to me - you can now finally delete apps straight from the app drawer, by dragging them just as if you were going to place them on the desktop,but then putting them in the recycle bin on the top.
No affiliation with apple. Or siri.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
Nobody's talking about the search app. It's way better than the one in Gingerbread. Much easier to find stuff in your phone : music, app, sms, docs, etc. The old one was returning web search suggestion in 90% of the result... useless.
Search in browser let's you edit suggestion if you want to add something to it. But we lost popular web site suggestion
Just read it on Pocketnow but you can make folders in the favourites bar. Apologies if obvious.
When in the stock browser and you change orientation, tap the screen to make it rotate.

which runs TouchWiz, so it's not stock Android
Rotate the phone to the right whilst in any stock app (so the speaker grill and front camera are on the right). Notice that the back, home and task switch buttons have moved to the top of the screen so that they stay on the right.
When using an ics app hold down on an icon in the action bar to get a description of what it does

Not heavily advertised, but it should be:
The quick control in the browser. Almost the same as on honeycomb. Activate it in the labs settings of the browser. Love it!

NICE find! Thanks!
This is known about, however you said undocumented and I haven't a single document for the Nexus/ICS apart from on one which came with the phone,telling me how to fix the battery.
Hold the volume down and power key, and you take a screen capture. Which is very handy on occasions

If you tap the volume button which makes the volume bar appear, you can then press the icon to the left of the volume bar and it toggles between ring and vibrate.

In settings/about phone. Tap repeatedly on the android version number (4.0...) then a little android appears. Keep ur finger on it and it grows into a screen animation.
If u didn't know about this,I guess u r now thinking this is a joke. Or is it?
Need someone to test; try swiping the web pages up/down using 2 fingers
, is it a feature or a glitch?

I thought it scrolled page by page. try by flicking with 2 fingers.
My GS3 is awesome, working since day one.
However a problem came up with my home button. Sometimes when I have the phone running the home button would go to the task switcher and the menu button would go to Google Now.
When I reboot it, the home button works normally and goes to the home screen.
Rom issue?
Thanks

A few people complained about it in tasks previous build. If that's what you're running look no further. The latest 2/26 build fixed it. In other words, it might be rom related.

Nothing in my latest release would have anything to do with the home button. It was only a cleanup release. Its has something to do with Nova Launcher.

Apex Launcher Pro and CarbonRom. I also tried LiquidSmooth and other roms but also have this problem, so now I'm thinking its Apex Launcher, not sure though
Might be Apex Pro, I had the issue a few days ago with the home button going to the task switcher.(I'm on ParanoidKangdroid with Apex pro) I disabled Custom Actions for keys located in settings>Interface>Hardware keys then restarted and haven't had the issue since. So if you have custom actions for hardware keys that maybe it.
Edit: I actually remember some people a while back mentioning this issue on cm10.1 roms, might be a 4.2 issue.
It's a timing issue with long presses. It happens on trebuchet (cm's launcher) and apparently the other third party ones. If you'll notice the task switcher is a long press on home and a long press on menu is set to be search assistant. For whatever reason the duration needed to execute a long press gets shortened to what seems like milliseconds. If you very very quickly press whatever button you're trying to use it doesn't go with the long press, but hold it any longer than a couple hundred milliseconds and it long presses.
Edit: considering it's an issue on several launchers, it's gotta be the aosp source or something to do with our hardware making this happen.

Hi,
I am new to Androids and I have tried to search my problem before posting but cannot find the right thread.
I have just installed the 4.2.2 Paranoid Android to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I317, all I cannot quite figure out is how to delete the extra/empty home screens to the left and right.
I have tried pinching, double tapping, and holding the screen but none of those give me an option to remove the excess pages. I only like to use 1 page.
I have googled this issue and some just say to install another launcher, but i just want to keep it pretty the way it is and also to prevent unnecessary battery usage.
Anyone know how to do that?
Thanks a million!
From home screen press menu button and then edit page.you will see all the screens just drag the ones you dont want to trash.

What you need to do is go to you home screen and push the home button (only button on the front of the phone. All of your pages will show up. Ling press on the ones you dont eant and then drag th to the top of the screem where the "x" is. This will work. What launcher are you using? To each there own but I recommend nova

Thanks but I know how to do that with the stock ROM and such. Its after the 4.2.2 Paranoid Android, I can seem to even make them all pop up after I press the home button.

Hello
I've recently installed Paranoid Android 3.15 on my Galaxy SIII i9300. I'm also looking for a way to delete homescreen pages. I've tried all tips above, but I can't seem to find it.
I'm using the default launcher.

This worked for me
Hello all.
My problem right now is concerning the T mobile Note 2 home button.
When my phone is off, and I press the home button to open the phone (I have no lock screen, it opens up directly), the phone opens up the recent menu. Before, my phone would just light up and stay on the home screen and not pop up the recent apps side bar thingy. If I use the power button to open the phone, it's fine.
How do I fix this?
Right now I'm running: Jedi Master 14.
I know before my phone was working just fine on Jedi 11 or 12.
Is it a rom bug ? or hardware problem?
Thanks!
I don't know if this is a bug or hardware, but I have the same issue. When I'm at home I have the lock screen disabled, and when I press the home button it takes me to recent apps, and I'm on stock ROM, stock kernel, just rooted.
It's a bug of sorts - I had to add in a little smali stuff to make that stop.

Hi guys,
I'm on the latest version of paranoid android and pie controls has a problem. Every time I close an application in the recent apps button, it the phone goes back to the home screen. But when I'm at the home screen and I go back to the recent apps button, the last app i closed shows up as it was not closed then a half a second later, the screen says no recent apps. What I'm trying to say is that the rom thinks there is a app open but then it changes screen and says no recent apps. So does anyone know how to fix this? Paranoid android 3.99 pie controls.
