I still can't post in developer threads so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.
There are some issues with the AOSP rom and with Paranoid Android by surdu_petru.
AOSP - It has that KitKat "feature" where apps can't write data to the SD card. This means that you cant download from your browser, do backups and use custom camera apps etc. The issue might be in the etc folder inside the permissions.xml file. Also when using the switches in the status bar (notifications/switches) you can see a bit of jerkiness.
Paranoid Android - There is auto rotation on the lock screen which tends to slash the cover art when playing music and it's slow, honestly it would be better to have a switch in settings or lock it in portrait permanently. Also there is the issue when the status bar icons "drop" when another menu opens and go back up when you close it (i.e. long press + widgets). The same issues persist in OmniRom.
Is there any way to fix these? Editing permissions doesn't work and I don't know how to fix the "drop" issue in Omni.

This is a feedback a question or help for solution for the rom "BHS Roms|Mixer B3+BHS Themed RC4 |Source ICS|CAMERA+Dual Pane|8.8B7" from synergye
I use a DHD and downloaded the BHS Mixer (UnThemed) BETA 3 of the rom with the Dual Pane.zip and the EVToolbox fix also.
Everything works perfect - including the camera - So thank you Synergye for that.
But when i go to the app drawer and get back to the desktop pane the widgets and apps seems to have disappeared temporarily. I have to go back to the app drawer once again and return to see them in each page. I am sure there is a fix for this too without screwing up the ones that work already.
Moreover the Facebook status updates won't work for me - this could be a FB issues. But im hoping there would be some good fix for this too if this is a ROM issue.
Shall follow that thread separately to see if a fix is around.

Firstly, thanks for the positive review!
The app short cuts disappearing have to do with a recent commit of nebkat (trebuchet maintainer). Push menu at home screen, trebuchet settings, then home screen. Check and uncheck "fade side pages," or leave checked if you want it on and app shortcuts will stay. This is now fixed in his source and will be in today's build.
As far as Facebook goes, I'm unsure about the status updates, however I did just realize I broke contacts synching. If that is connected(would make sense, due to being the only Facebook commit which has been accidentally reverted) it will also be fixed in today's build since I just switched contactsprovider back to CM from AOSP.
Edit: for glitch free photos, take in landscape, or use flash.

Thanks a ton for the response. Im following the original thread and will hope there is a fix soon for the calendar issue too.Im unable to add the google (or) the facebook calendar as i used to do earlier.
The fade pages deselection worked well as i am on the RC mixed (Unthemed) beta 3.
Any improvements can be expected on the camera front in the near future ? As you must be aware that HTC DHD has a wonderful camera which when exposed to right tool like Camera 360 was a boon to photographers like me.
Have a wonderful birthday too !!
Hi,
Im currently on the RC 9 unthemed, the camera works fine in landscape mode and i love the new ROM control tweaks and the option to change Carrier label. But i have a few concerns which i hope you would keep in mind while building the next RC :
1. Camera glitch in Portrait mode
2. Speed is a bit of issue - although not major. It used to be faster in responsiveness but kinda lags a bit
3. Image viewer/Gallery - Can you embed a better package ?? It is not great for those who have lot of images and folders/albums.
4. Would love to see the keypads shine for telephone dial in !! Am i asking too much already
Thanks in advance.
This is likely appropriate for the SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7 thread, but with my being new herein, I can't post in the dev forums yet...
Device Vitals: Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710), running SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7, and Nova Launcher Prime 2.1.1
Issue: Status Bar is force auto-hiding on launcher home pages even with notifications therein. Does pull-down and otherwise function as expected.
Comments:
Verified that Expanded Desktop is not selected in power menu
Verified that Status Bar is not set to auto-hide in: System Settings | Interface | Status Bar
Status Bar does show on all other screens - Lock, Settings, in apps, etc. - it just auto-hides on the home screen when I believe it shouldn't
Problem seems to have shown-up after installing the Firefox full-screen plugin or when I was fracking around to get Photosphere functional
I have tried various iterations of trying to get things synced back up, if it is a settings sync issue (including booting safe and making settings changes therein (not honored then, either), uninstalling firefox, etc.)
I have back-ups and am willing and able to do a fresh reflash of the ROM/add-ons, etc. However, I'd like to avoid same, as the inevitable tweaking needed to get various apps functioning as I desire is pretty time consuming - ~4-6hrs I am guessing.
I am wondering if there is a script I can run, or some other means of forcibly resetting the OS to not auto-hide the Status Bar, and start honoring the settings asserted in the System Settings UI. It feels like a simple toggle got out of sync somewhere, or something else equally benign, but I am not a dev, and only a hack scripter (x86), so I don't know what I don't know.
I'd hate to have to reflash and reconfig when a simple manual edit/script can possibly resolve.
Can anyone offer any assistance, please? TIA.

It was a bad Launcher profile. I reflashed the ROM, and restored all apps, to no avail. I restored an earlier backup of the Launcher and the issue was resolved.
Who effin knew... Ugh.

Looked through the Q&A thread, can't find a thread similar enough. Here goes.
I'm back to PA after almost a year. I've enjoyed Sony's Z1 and Z2. Now I got my hands on Oppo's Find 7 and after a quick taste of ColorOS, I'm enjoying PA 4.6b6.
A lot has changed since 3.99!!
Here's my questions after all my rambling:
- where are the per-app DPI settings? I loved that feature!!
- how do I turn Halo/Hover off permanently? Chrome keeps appearing in windowed mode. Also, any app launched from the notification pane. I've tried "blacklisting" apps in the Settings>Apps section, but every app PA feels like rendering in windowed mode, keeps appearing in windowed mode...
- I'm getting com.android.process.systemui errors. Mostly in Find 7, hardly any on grouper (Nexus 7 2012). Any app known for upsetting PA?
- I'm looking for ways to change the resolution (DPI) of my Find 7; with ROM Toolbox, I edited build.prop, but there is no ro.sf.lcd_density option. Can I just add it?
- Settings > Display > Advanced > Gesture shortcuts promise gestures when the screen is turned off: double tap to wake, circle shape to launch the camera, V-shape to turn on flashlight and two-finger swipes for music players. Only the double taps that turn on the screen actually work.
Hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining too much. I really enjoy PA and it's the best ROM around!!!
Keep up the amazing work!

Hover/halo is not the floating window. Hover is simply the notifications that show from the top. Floating window issue with chrome is a google problem on any rom that supports floating mode.
There are no per app DPI settings. This was never ported forward for KitKat.
FC's are probably related to card stack recents. Reset the on the spot preference for recents and use normal KitKat recents.
Build prop editor has always worked fine for me. That line does indeed exist in the build prop.
Don't know about find7, but the one plus one shares the same gestures and works perfectly.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm getting a lot of problems
com.android.process.systemui force closes several times a day
as stated, Chrome refuses to go into full screen, it's always windowed.
during calls (inbound and outbound), the screen turns off as per the sensor, but never turns on again until call is over.
if the screen doesn't turn off, the touch display still becomes unresponsive, so I can't end calls.
I'm guessing somewhere down the line I didn't do a completely clean install.
I'm curious about this, since Oppo is one of the officially supported devices, according the Paranoid Android site.
Chrome bug is a problem with Google on any ROM that supports floating mode. The fix is to use chrome beta now because google fixed it there.
Please revert back to an earlier build. Beta4 should be solid for you

Hey guys,
i'm getting this weird bug, when pulling down the quick access or the notification panel by sliding down on alternate launchers (like nova launcher), it just shows really really slowly.
Like if my animations speed were set to 4X in developper options, unless it's not.
Only getting this when sliding from anywhere on the screen with gestures function of the launchers, not from the top of the screen like you would do.
Cheers
Known issue in nova on 6.0. Hopefully apps will get updated soon to support this. I live by gestures!
It's only with the gesture that the status bar does that and it's only on alternate launchers (as u said) like nova is where I've seen it as well. If I set a swipe down gesture to show notifications, and I swipe down in the middle of the screen, that will happen.
Doesn't seem like it would be a 6.0 bug

it s not android bug
it s compatibility of launcher
launcher need to get access from accessibility section in setting + some system permissions (i think)
it s not straight forward function to open notification/status bar with codes since android 5
that might cause this issue
Hey guys,
I'm right now facing some issues on my D-HD phone, which runs CM 12.1 custom ROM from this forum. Also I'm on the 12.1-20151201-unofficial-aceopt (!) build.
Issues:
a) The background of the untouched Lock screen is blacked out, as soon as I swipe to unlock the intended wallpaper is showing for a sec, then the home screen.
b) The status bar, if swiped down, blacks out the whole screen, popup messages aren't stuck to the bar and are hiding behind it.
I can't do a screenshot of it, due to the behavior of the screenshot option, that is killing the expanded status bar.
c) On the screen for recent apps (by button), ALL app preview screens are empty, only the head bars with the app names are appearing.
My phone was bug free, until I started to test an self-programmed app through Android Studio on it (per ADB, app wasn't complex nor corrupted).
I'm using the standard Trebuchet launcher (though I tested others, to see if it causes the problems), and the "Euphoria Dark Theme for CM12" ,which was also installed before the problems appeared.
I also did several reboots.
I did the full forum and google search, but wasn't able to find issues or solutions that are like this.
Do you have an idea, what am I able to do?
Thank you!
Which i have understand with your issues is that,
1)your are not getting transparent status bar, right?
2) after pulling down your notification panel you get black background in that, right ?
3) your lock screen's background is black , right ?
4) and after all these 3 issues you were also facing no animation in you window/scroll etc, right ?
For those all problem just go to settings>about phone and tap about 7 to 8 time on build number then go back you will see developer option there now tap on that find the option some thing like "force high-end graphics" switch on that and reboot your phone your problems will be solved.
