I've just installed PA 4.2 beta 2 on my device and I have noticed that the PA settings app is gone. Is this intentional? Does anybody have any idea about the reasoning behind this?
Maybe because they have started everything from scratch with KitKat?
Maybe you should read the change log thread?

Well, if it is there, I can't see it. I've skimmed through it for the third time now.

Because if it doesn't exist in the change logs thread it doesn't exist in the build.
The thread explains how to enable and set every feature

For the longest time most Android camera apps are incapable of auto adjusting exposure to suit the touch-focus area, a feature that's found in HTC Sense camera and iOS camera. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just realized that this feature has finally been added to Jelly Beam on GNexus!! For this feature alone I'll stick with Jelly Bean instead of AOKP ICS.
Just wanted to share this as I thought some might find it useful.
Cheers.

Edit: I'm really surprised by how many people have absolutely no idea what touch-exposure is. The keywords are highlighted in red above. If you still have no idea what it does, borrow an iPhone from your friend, try touch-focus a few different areas with different brightness levels within the same view, you'll know what I'm talking about. Sadly most people don't even know what they are missing out....
This is awesome if true!
You do aokp will start working on jb as soon as the source comes out....

Of course, but until then, this makes it easy for me to choose between AOKP ICS & JB.
another feature I miss in camera is the pause button while recording video, unfortunately this as not been added

im running JB but how do I use it? is it just an auto function?
I think it's automatic... uh "touch-auto-exposure" is in the name. Wherever you touch on the screen automatically applies the correct exposure.
You can also take pictures while recording video, just tap on screen.

I'm always baffled why Google didn't implement this earlier. iOS and HTC Sense have had it for a while.
And guess what, even Galaxy S3 still does NOT have this feature..
better known as touch to focus :silly:
I'm confused. What exactly are we talking about? Does touch-to-focus do something it didn't do before? And autofocus doesn't do it?
I think Touch to Focus was absent in AOSP until JB. I used it today without realizing it is a new feature, works exactly as it should.
A while back on my galaxy nexus someone had created a gradient fix which fixes the ugly gradient effect on the settings menus and other programs that use the same gradient.
Anyone that can do the same for this?

I'll take a look at it later today. Because recently Google changed the background to an XML file instead of an image like it used to be so it may prove to be useless.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Edit: Yeah unforturnetly i cant port it, since 4.2 its now an xml that controls the background_holo, However i could remove the xml's and then just use the image... hmm... gives me an idea... can you give me your rom's framework-res.apk and be willing to test something for me?
Yea sure, where do i find that file with root manager?
I found one in system/framework/framework-res.apk hope this is what you need!

It is Paranoid Android Beta 8...
If it fails, i should just be able to dirty flash beta 8 again right?

Yeah. That will reflash the system partition.
Sucks about the XML change. Why change it and still not fix the banding? Do their engineers not see it?

No.. they've already acknowledged the issue and promised a fix. Just didn't happen in time for the 4.2.1 update (they had to fix that December bug quickly)
I think UBER forgot about this
There has to be a way! Can the ROMS be modified to look at a png instead of a xml file?

Sorry bout that did forget.. but am fixing it now... all i did was delete the xml's and added the pictures instead. :silly: will see what happens.
Edit: Okay here you go OP, test this and see what happens.

Flash in recovery no need to wipe anything. Just make sure you have the the original zip handy in case you need to reflash. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Ahh, really? I missed that! Thanks
I always just assumed that's how they designed it, I mean the first time if it was an image, someone had to have designed and approved that image right? That's why I always just assumed that's what they wanted it to look like, Cuz they could have just used a plain image if they intended it to be a flat background.... Lol,
(Now this makes me think they DID intend it to look like that, but when sooooo many users said they didn't like it they decided "hmm, let's just call it a bug and we'll change it later" hahaha)

Now that Halo is open, I foresee pretty much every ROM update to now include it. Personally, I don't see the big deal about the feature and wonder if there is a way to delete it from a ROM either prior to or after flashing. Anyone know?

Well, I understand that. I'm just wondering if there is anyway to get rid of it. If not, I'll have to live with it being there. In my eyes, just not enabling it would be the same as having a Facebook app even though I'm not on Facebook.
Maybe I'm missing something. Is there a way to disable it in settings, so I don't have that icon in my notification pull down?

Its part of the framework. So I don't think so. You could always use a ROM without Halo.

Bummer. I just noticed that at least 2 ROMs I poke around with have updated to include it..so, I'm guessing most will eventually and my options for avoiding it will be limited. Not a big deal and maybe I'll grow fond of it, but I don't think so. Seems kind of redundant to me..I'll just have to learn to live with it I suppose.

Yeah. Its more of a feature that compliments the expanded desktop mode where you dont have a notification drawer visible. But not everyone wants that. I feel the same way.
For example, I use expanded desktop but just the soft keys are hidden, I leave the status bar visible.

yea it is getting baked in as is being done with uxylon, carbon and what seems now to be p.a.c.
while with p.a.c. it is using its PA pulled parts for it, uxylon and carbon have it baked in so there really is no removing it
Like every option, it should have a disable option...

Anybody else have the problem where when browsing the xda forums in chrome if you scroll the page refreshes??
I'm on official cm10.2 nightly but it also happened on the unofficial cm10.2.

I'm a bit late on this response but in case you haven't found it yet, if you go allllll the way to the bottom of the page there's a drop down menu on the far left. You can use that to change the layout. You can also find it somewhere in the settings.

I was wondering whether there is a way to have immersive mode only hide the status bar and not the notification bar. I saw you could do this on previous versions of PA and it would be awesome if I still could.
Yeah. The change log thread covers exactly how to do this.
