Hi ZeeLog,

This ROM is great, with all the new added bits.... However one of the reasons I use this ROM is for the built in weather on Notifications appears to be missing in this edition...?? Is there any reason for this, or will it return again in a future ROM update?

Cheers, Lister

[Guest ehleh]

can you add transparency on status bar?.. thanks in advance zee

[Guest zeelog]

can you add transparency on status bar?.. thanks in advance zee

it's there, under hybrid settings > interface > status bar color

Cheers, Lister

not sure if weather panel has been actually merged in aokp 4.2.2, might have been omitted due to conflicts. will check though, perhaps it can be included in future releases

[Guest Lister Of Smeg]

Hi ZeeLog,

Oh right I see.... As I did hear on another forum, that the ROMControl caused issues/conflicts which might explain it. Did notice that it appears to be split into two different sections from what it once was.

Yeah if you could check that, that would be brilliant... As that was one of my main loves was the built in Weather feature into the AOKP. But also love all the other features/tweaks. This is an amazing ROM..... :)

Cheers, Lister

Umm... Any chance to restore default JB wallpaper without having to browse internet for it? PACman at booting is fine, but as wallpaper - not really, composes badly with clock and app icons. ROM itself may be fine (just installed, so not much tested, yet), but first thought after seeing new desktop was "what have I done..." :P.

EDIT: if anyone needs clean, stock JB wallpapers, I've found them here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kov.gallery.jellybean

Btw. it's based on some older CM version? Recent CM 10.1 builds have hidden recovery at reboot (until enabled in advanced options).

[Guest bladeuv880]

Thanks for the nice ROMs you guys cooking for ZTE Blade.

I use a chinese blade which is low in RAM. On that blade_PAC_JB_4.1.2-v19.3.8.zip was quite smooth only problem was keyboard vanishes just after typing 2 or 3 words and never comes up after that.

But blade_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v20.0.0.zip is too slow and apps keep crashing / force close. I hope the 4.2.2 ROM get stabilized as it evolves. Thanks a lot for your work.

[Guest wuiwu]

can you post some picS?

thanks man

[Guest Lister Of Smeg]

Hi All,

Ok, I've been using this ROM for a while now, and on the whole its been brilliant..... Apart from the previously mentioned items above thats missing (such as built in Weather, ROMControl which is being looked into.... and the CM FileManager, which is not so much of an issue as I use FX Explorer anyway).

Couple of other issues I noticed recently...

1) It randomly reboots at times, cant give examples as they are all random times and places... but had 3x so far in 2x days...

2) When the screen turns off, it flips into 180 degrees for like a second before it shuts off. This is no biggie, but a bit odd... lol

Other than that, cracking rom...

Keep up the great work!!!! :D

Cheers, Lister

[Guest Lister Of Smeg]

Hi C3C0,

Well that all looks greek to me, but I think I get the jist of it.... :) Good spot, and thanks for the heads up on it....

So it would appear I wasnt the only one to spot this, and work is already in place for this, for when the current ROM gets recompiled/updated.... :)

This ROM is awesome, loving it.... :)

Cheers, Lister

Can't download anything from play store ... error 404

plz include play store & talk app inside the Rom...

remove the stock keyboad & put swiftkey 4.0....

decrease the size of shortcut menu .... it comes in bet'n while typing....

[Guest zeelog]

hey hey hey?... there is no file manager app here?..

touch is not that responsive?. hmmmm

re file manager, rom size is already 159mb - i'm trying to get this rom to fit in a 160MB partition - you can easily download a file manager app from play store - EDIT: actually i managed to fit it in on today's build :-) - re touch not responsive, hopefully will fix in the next build, EDIT: not sure this has something with Trebuchet, feels much smoother with another launcher such as NOVA...

just guessing here...you need to wipe everything before flashing PAC_JB_4.2.2-v20.0.0 - especially if you're coming from 19.3.8, otherwise you're into some unpleasant surprises..

many thanks for your feedback, re screen off bug this will be fixed in the next build, regarding random reboots - so far i didn't encounter any, yet i'm not overclocking - also, i don't suggest playing around aokp performance control unless you really know what you're doing

decrease the size of shortcut menu .... it comes in bet'n while typing....

1. make sure your internet connection is up and running, other thing you might need to check is partition size. 2. no i won't include them in the rom, as this goes against google policy - as any other rom you need to install gapps package after installing the rom 3. same as 2, i won't be including any 3rd party apps, if you wish you can easily download 3rd party keyboard of your choice 4. app/settings sizes, dpi, you can change yourself via hybyrid properties - paranoidandroid settings

s2e works with this rom?

yes, it should work

can you post some picS?

thanks man

sure, will include some screenshots eventually.

Edited February 26, 2013 by ehleh

[Guest keyboardshortcut]

Hi Zee,

Thanks for the beautiful rom, idk if it is good to configure in PA and configure in AOKP at the same time, system ui error pops up.

When I go to PA configuration and use the stock ui and enable nav bar to 100% and when I go to AOKP configuration and change the "back key to home", system ui error pops up. :(

but if I reset the AOKP config, the system ui error disappears.

don't know where to look for a logcat...

Keep it up. :D
