[Q] Which ROM suits me better? (No bashing please) - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have the P3110 which means I have the WiFi only model. I am torn between Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Pac Rom. CM10.1 is more popular and it's like stock Android. The problem I have with CM is the notifications pulldown, I want the default sliding toggles that come with Touchwiz, not the square tiles, which look like they just waste space. That's my only problem with CM. Then I looked at Pac Rom and thought "Wow that looks sexy, all those vibrant colors!" and it had the option to change the UI between Tablet UI, Phablet UI, and another option I forgot. So I am swaying more towards Pac Rom, but I read the replies and it looks like there are lots of bugs, specifically the glitched boot animation, and apparently some glitches with the nav bar and changing the UI. What ROM is better for me?

If you can wait, than choose P.A.C man, it will suit you the best.

Sounds like you want a 4.1.x rom rather than a less stable 4.2.x rom. I'll always suggest aokp milestone 1 to everyone.

I want 4.2, but it sounds like there's no stable 4.2 ROM yet. I still want it though, what is the most stable 4.2 ROM?

CM10.1

But the tiles are ugly, is there any way to change them to sliding toggles?

No, this tiles are the new feature of 4.2.2, but you can have your old toggles back if you activatet them in Settings>System but you can not make the tiles disappair

There's a free app called notification toggles that you can use if you like the sliding toggles.

CM10.1 or AOSPA3+ for me.
I use Power Toggle widget. Very convenience, everything on/off is one click away.

I'm loving cm 10.1, defgo recommend it

[Q] ROM/Theme Question

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a rom that combines the following:
-Sense ROM (beacause of the multitouch issue in cm/aokp roms)
-Black Settings Theme (the white one in sense 4.0 kills me at night )
-cm9/stock android keyboard
-cm9 quick toogles in the notification bar
But i guess there is no ROM that fulfills my wishes, so does anyone know a theme or a mod that could help me?
Or can i somehow change the keyboard or the settings theme myself?
I'm currently running LeeDroid. (also tried cm9 alpha, aokp, miui, but they all have the multitouch problem)
Thanks,
pillepalle92
Have you tried Trickdroid?
I havent tried it yet, but how would that solve my problems?
As far as I can see, there isn't much difference to LeeDroid.
But thanks for your answer.
Sounds like Leedroid and Trickdroid would be the best fit for you. Trickdroid is a stock ROM with a tweak package similar to what is in Leedroid (you can pick and choose what to install). The only thing you'd really be missing would be the cm9/stock keyboard, but isn't that just a simple apk install?
yeah, i got the keyboard from playstore.
But the thing I'm missing most, is the black settings theme. But I think only the aokp based roms got that.
I't would be really nice to have a aokp theme for sense roms.
But I guess I can live with LeeDroid until the cm9 developers get the multitouch issue fixed.
Leedroid with sommer breeze them. Maybe with a couple of aosp inverted apps. I'm using all of this. Also love black on the amoled screen.

This looks very promising. I've been running PA since I got my Nexus 7 and would love to see it used to its full potential.
Although.. Has anyone else noticed that PA's file transfer speed via usb is extremely extremely slow compared to stock? Is that fixed in this ROM?

no, mtp has nothing to do with pa, they did minor changes for UMS, i dont have those changes so the issue probably doesn't effect this rom, although i dont remember the changes off hand they werent huge

[ROM][AOSP][4.3.2.1.000.000] OpenMaster Nightlies [grouper]

I will be compiling AOSP's master branch (almost) nightly. This branch is, at times, very unstable and can have many issues. Most issues cannot be fixed without upstream changes.
I guarantee no stability or the fact that your device will work. It's your choice to use this. Don't blame me for something that goes wrong (even though nothing probably will).
You will need to flash Gapps in order to use the Play Store. You can get Gapps from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Flashing for the first time:
1. Reboot into recovery.
1a. Backup current ROM
2. Wipe data.
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash Gaps
5. Reboot

Nice to see another pure aosp out there! Too bad about tweaks though, some tweaks I just can't live without anymore. That aside I'd rather have barebones over bloat
Thanks for this great rom!

I may make another ROM at a later time that is a tweaked master branch, but for now, this is staying pure AOSP. I haven't seen any frequently maintained master branch builds, and I think that the n7 community needs that. It's nice to have an up-to-date build of what Google is working on.
And remember, if there's a super awesome feature you think it oughta have, maybe AOSP will merge your contribution!

Features I was thinking of were mostly addons & some performance some ui tweaks which I don't think an aosp purist would likely agree on:
Cpu/ I/O memory management
Battery bar (miui, not a big break away from stock but not important)
Quick Settings toggles: extra buttons
Nav bar button editing
Kill app on long press of back button
Recent apps clear all & memory display
Battery statusbar options (I've always used %)
Statusbar clock settings (right/centre)
Some of those are purely subjective but things like kill app on long press, QS and navigation button settings should be built into the aosp source IMO. I get your philosophy behind this and I don't mind the missing features but I don't think I can keep pure aosp for very long after being spoiled with so many feature rich roms over the last few years
There are many people who would appreciate this though so I hope it gets the respect it deserves. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider those if I ever work on another ROM. In the meantime, let's keep this thread fully focused on AOSP and this ROM. I really do appreciate the suggestions.

Is this a nightly of Googles stock rom?

Essentially, yes. As I am sure you probably understand, each git repo can have multiple branches and Google creates a branch after each stable release. However, they also have a working branch that they push to frequently (many times per day) with changes called "master" and this is a nightly build of that branch. So, this is like the stock ROM, except it is on their working branch, not their 4.2.2 branch. In the build files, this is referred to as "OpenMaster", and Android version 4.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.
You'll notice some features that aren't in the stock ROM and you'll notice some (but not all) of the features reported to be in the 4.3 ROMs.
This branch tends to be slightly less stable, but it also is very interesting to use. I use it as my daily driver and have for awhile. There are some bugs, but they tend to get squashed within a few days.
If you want to see a changelog, check AOSP review.
I have two more questions:
- How can I get notifications about updates?
- How can I build the Master branch for my Galaxy Nexus?
Oh and btw. good rom! It is really interesting to test those new features and have some bugs.

Sorry, but at this time, you'll need to check the downloads page daily (probably around 10PM GMT-5 I'll have done it if I will) to see if I've posted a new build for the day. Maybe I will later make an app and put it in the Play Store and it will notify you when a new build is posted.

You'll need to sync AOSP and it includes the source for GNex. You'll need to download the proprietary files separately and unzip them. If you have questions, PM me. Also, http://source.android.com/source/building.html may be of some help.

I have respect for the stock aosp. If I could pick only one feature though it would be one in forgot to mention "statusbar brightness slider" I use it so much I forget it's there.
I can live without those though, I'm glad to see openmaster working on the n7 and I'm going to try to live e without the frills! Thank k's for this pure rom,

Check out this handy tool. I'm usually anti widget but this lil tool is amazing for setting a brightness slider anywhere on the screen.
I've used it since way back before the status bar mod was available and I still use it pretty often if the ROM doesn't have it included.
Can be configured I'm about every way possible.

OpenMaster with 4.3 (officially versioned as 4.3.2.1.000.000) is available for download. Grap the latest nightly here.
SuperUser is almost definitely not working; additionally I cannot confirm how well the gapps package works with 4.3.
This release is 4.3 plus what you see merged on AOSP Code Review.
This build was made with the 4.2.2 proprietary binaries. A build with the 4.3 proprietary binaries will be released later today.
Edit: The build available (AOSP-OpenMaster-kalaker-grouper-20130724-fixed_binaries.zip).
IMPORTANT: As of 20130724, the OpenMaster builds are based on Android 4.3. With Google's official release of Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (grouper), a new bootloader, version 4.23, was released. OpenMaster builds after 20130724 have only been tested with the new bootloader. No support will be provided for users of the older bootloaders.

Is Paranoid Android missing these features?

I just switched over to PA and it seems to be the one ROM I like the most out of all the ones I've tried (AOKP, CM, CarbonRom). However, I liked having the power toggles at the top of my screen along with the weather widget that CM and CarbonROM had (cLock). Are these missing in PA? I assume cLock is missing since it by CM, but are the power toggles missing as well?
If either or both of these are missing, what are my best alternatives?

Could try Rootbox. It's not on 4.3 yet, but it has features from CM, AOKP, and PA all bundled in one, along with a few of it's own tweaks. I have it running on almost all of my devices (minus my Rezound): both Nexus 7's, Galaxy Nexus, and my S3.

PA features

Hi all,
I been using OPO for last 3 weeks now... I m coming from galaxy s3 with liquid smooth ROM. Some of the feature I m missing are Halo and pie control.. Particularly recent apps button from pei. Can someone suggest how to get simile features?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Halo has been replaced with Hover or Heads Up. Mainly Heads Up.
Pie Controls, look for a ROM with the feature. Mahdi has PA Pie or Slim Pie (you pick)
Well I don't want to install custom ROM because I like CM I just want to get these features... I don't see these apps in play stores.. Can you provide link for apk?
There is a standalone app for PIE. Find it on the internet.
Heads Up is built into CM.
PAC rom has halo.
Also these days PA pie and slim pie are almost identical what comes to functionality, in other words they are useless, I suggest to use dbpie even through it hasn't been updated for a while.
