So I searched all over the net and I cant find the answers I was looking for.
I have a few questions about the features on the 4.4 rom.
1. Where are the hybrid options?
2. Why are there fewer battery icons?
3. How to add new pannels?
Also deleting the last icon removes that whole pannel instead of leaving it blank.
Other than that rom is smooth as butter!!
1.Not available, since they follow PA(paranoid android) to release hybrid for pa 4.4 so they can test it on pac 4.4 and merge it..
2.I don't know why are there less battery icons but it can be a work-in-progress since the ROM itself is work-in-progress and not complete, you can find new features here: http://review.pac-rom.com/
3. New pannels? I hope you mean new tiles on status bar quick settings, it's easy to add more tiles or change layout go to settings > pac pellets > quick settings panel > tiles and layout > add (you can add and rearrange tiles in here)

Alright thank you!
Haha yea I guess I should've been more specific about the last one.
On the home page the different screens I referred to as panels. So whenever you delete the last item off that screen it disappears. So my question was if that was supposed to happen and if there was any way to keep them there?

Yes that is supposed to happen in kitkat, no you can't keep them unless you fill the homepage with icons, there isn't much customization options available for the launcher except rows and columns you have to use another launcher for now.

Ok awesome thanks a lot!
Maybe I'm just guily of believing something I "read somewhere on the internet," but I thought KitKat was supposed to have secure element emulation. This was to get around the need for the chip and allow us to use NFC tap to pay via Google Wallet. I also "read somewhere" that this rom had it (CM11 didn't.) But in wallet, it says tap to pay is unavailable.
Of course, I'm running on the latest nightly, so maybe that has something to do with it?
Not having tap to pay isn't a deal breaker for me...I'm just OCD. If there's a feature on my phone that should work, I'll spend an infinite amount of time trying to get it to work (even if it's something I probably won't use!)
Updated bug list
So after using this rom, I have compiled a list of all the bugs I've encountered so far.
Since there I can’t post in the dev thread yet I'll just post them here.
Since the May 1st build:
1. .gif files don’t load properly and will occasionally freeze and force close app
2. Certain websites take a while to load and occasionally freeze and force close app
3. Widgets don't resize properly. For example if you expand the tiles by on to make it 5x5, a widget that says its 4x1 will turn out to be 5x2
4. NFC still requires a restart to turn off
5. Still no camera but I'm patient :fingers-crossed:
So far these are the major ones I've found but I'll post more if I find them.

1, 2 points need the latest graphic driver, you can find the flashable zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51035856
Driver needs to be flashed on each nightly as it gets replaced each time with old driver..I won't recommend flashing it same time as you flash rom because it will cause more issues..first boot rom and the go to recovery and flash the drivers..
3. Widget issue should be reported on pac-rom forums..I don't know if it happens on cm11.
4, 5. Known cm11 issues, No fix as yet..

I was wondering if there's a mod out there to allow you to change the quick launch shortcuts at the bottom of the screen? Or am I just stupid and you can do this with a stock phone?
I realize when we get some new ROMs going this will be added in, I'm just enjoying my stock ROM with Da_G's OC kernel and CWM for now.. I don't really have the free time to be playing around with new ROMs right now, but a flash-able mod would be great for this since I only really use two of the shortcuts.
Have you tired a custom launcher? I just got my note today and the first thing i did was install the zeam launcher.

App drawer - menu - edit - customizable grid - tap and drag.
Okay.. I was trying to stay away from using a different launcher, I've tried them in the past and always ended up uninstalling them after a few hours.
One more step to add to mikegehl's write-up: Then Menu > Save, or your changes won't stick.
Why they had to make it so much more difficult than any other position on the screens (simple drag-n-drop to remove, press-n-hold to add) is beyond me. But, it is one of my very few complaints about the stock UI.
How to change quick launch icons.
Ok I wish this was a little easier but there is a way to change the quick launch icons (all but the applications icon of course). Just click on Applications icon, click on the menu button, click on view type, make sure its on customizable grid, then click menu again, then edit. You can now drag icons (upto 4 on the note) on and off the quick launch. remember to click menu, save once you're done or it will revert back. Hope this helps!

Perfect!! I don't know why they made this so hard.. I don't know if I ever would have figured that out.
EDIT: Screwed subj: Is there an app or mod to toggle navbar in latest CM10 jelly bean builds that don't have such option?
Hi, the question is in subj. Sorry if there is an answer to this somewhere on forums, but I googled and searched the forums and found nothing of help. Everything I found was intended for ICS and other devices and didn't work on my NT with CM10.
So I know there is a bunch of roms (AOKP for example) that have the built-in option to hide/show navigation bar and/or status bar through power button menu. It is very useful. But what if I use a rom without such option, is there a way to get similar option using some mod or apk (that will work on any CM10)?
When searched google & forums I surprisingly didn't find much complaints about navbar in jellybean phone interface but I personally think it always must have an option to be hidden because in games and some apps it breaks aspect ratio and eats precious screen space.
Im using latest build of CM10 PURE AOSP 4.1.2 JBV03-Hashcode right now. I want to continue using this rom but hiding navbar is so much important to me. (Maybe I missed an option right here? But I can't ask devs 'cause of 10-posts restrictment, so asking here.)
In the Settings under System>Power Menu Make sure that "Expanded Desktop" is checked. Once that's enabled, when you long press the power button, you'll see the option "Expanded Desktop". This will hide/show the nav bar.
EDIT: I know this to work on the CM10 PURE AOSP ROMs, I don't know about the other CM10 ROMs currently circulating.

Thank you for answer! But for some reason I didn't have such option in System>Power Menu on 2012-11-15 build. So I flashed newest one just in case (2012-11-18) as a 100% clear install wiping everything, but "Expanded Desktop" is just not there. I'm puzzled. Are you sure CM10 PURE AOSP has it?
I have only:
Reboot menu
Screenshot
Profile switcher
Airplane mode
Sound panel
My bad, this is a function of the Tablet UI patch found here from this thread. It is not specific to this ROM. When applying the patch you MUST clear the cache and Dalvik cache, I've found that not doing so often causes headache.

I see. Anyway thank you for pointing me in that direction. I've installed Tablet UI patch and actually love it. But would you be so kind to answer a bit unrelated question: after installing Tablet UI there is an odd problem - USB storage prompt wouldn't pop up when I connect USB cable to the device so I can't access any storage. Maybe someone knows how to fix this? Is it because the Storage menu FCs?
Well, first make sure "Android Debugging" is enabled. If that doesn't remedy the issue then I would have to assume that it is related to the Storage FC in some way. I don't use USB Mass Storage to transfer files to my NT so I haven't noticed if mine does this or not. I can't try it at the moment as I need to charge my NT but when I have the chance I'll see if I have the same problem.
Since I was looking for the same thing how to enable toggle navbar in powermenu on my cm10 phone, I found out what you have to do.
I would take a wild guess that you have to do pretty much the same thing as did I with my Nexus S.
Short story:
You need to decompile your Settings.apk, with apktool.
In the decompiled files, navigate to settings/res/values/bools.xml.
Open the file bools.xml with Notepad++ and edit the following line from this:
<bool name="config_show_expandedDesktop">false</bool>
to this
<bool name="config_show_expandedDesktop">true</bool>
Save the file. Recompile the files. Take recompiled resources.arsc and replace the one in your Settings.apk, flash the new Settings.apk.
Now if you go to Settings/System/Power Menu you will see the option to choose Expanded desktop.
CM10 has this feature built in, but its not enabled for all devices.
Hope this helps, if you have any questions PM me since I doubt I will visit Nook forums in the foreseeable future. :victory:
I really miss the simple pull down from jellybean 4.1.2 where I just had to have on pull down and I could easily enable or disable airplane mode, wifi, gps.
Now I have to pull down and hit settings to have those toggles enabled or disabled. I find that one extra step annoying but can't find an option in most AOKP roms to disable pressing settings to get to my toggles. Is there a way to change this?

It must be there in display settings. If not just get the "notification toggle" from play store.
Does what ya need and you can chose which toggles ya need.
LIFE! It's what you make out of it!
Swipe down on status bar with two fingers. You'll go directly to quick settings. Also both CM and AOKP have a setting where you can configure swiping down on the left and right sides to take you directly to notifications or quick settings. For example, swipe down on left side brings up notifications and swipe down on right side automatically brings up quick settings. And I think there's a setting to directly display quick settings if there are no notifications wherever you swipe. CM also still includes the old style power widget at the top of the notification bar. If you want it, you just have to enable it in settings. So you see, there are many ways you can make using the quick settings a *really* quick and straightforward process. I find the quick toggles to be better than the old style toggles because I get to it in one step and everything shows on one screen (by increasing the number of toggles per row). No extra scrolling step like with the horizontal toggles. But some toggles such as screen timeout, screen lock etc aren't present in quick settings, so I use a combination of quick settings for all the usual toggles and the horizontal old toggles for the ones which aren't available.

Thanks. Currently I'm still on my 4.1.2 TWRP backup but am trying to transition to 4.2. A lot of features missing in a lot of custom roms and Gapps. Ie photosphere, poor battery economy due to a host of issues (ie unresolved wakelocks) that kind of doesn't make the switch worth it for me yet.
Photosphere will never be included in AOSP ROMs even for Nexus devices because it's not part of the AOSP camera source code. It requires a proprietary Google version of the camera copied from Nexus devices along with proprietary library files. Reason is it uses street view technology and that's Google's proprietary technology, not open source. The Google camera also includes Picasa album sync, which isn't present in the AOSP camera/gallery code because it is proprietary too.
So if you want photosphere, you'll have to find Gapps that include the proprietary camera and libs or a flashable zip of only those parts and flash them to your phone. The standard Gapps package includes a check to flash these parts to Nexus devices automatically, although you should remember that flashing the closed source GalleryGoogle.apk will remove any customizations made by CM, AOKP etc to the camera.
Also, regarding battery, since codefireX SR5 many people have been reporting great battery life using the recommended settings (interactive gov, SIO scheduler, 149-1024/1200 Mhz). Synergye made some changes to increase battery life, and it's showing in the reports of users. People who are still experiencing average battery life with this ROM most probably have old batteries (like me) or some rogue apps installed. New batteries make a world of difference.

Set the quicksettings to pull down from the right or left and enable the settings tile.
To OP: download a cyanogen mod changelog app from the play store. Set it to our device (quincyatt) and read the nightly changelogs. ALWAYS backup before you flash a nightly so you can restore if you feel the update is unnecessary or adversely affects performance.

Reboot your device and spam the power button. This will disable the xposed framework and all the modules. You can then go and change the settings in the module or disable it and reboot.
Hi,
Great idea!
Few things though:
It would be very nice that the things you mention in OP would be realized. I tried this on a GT-I9505 (galaxy mega 6.3) and such phone needs it for the keyboaard only IMHO. Other apps are no problem to have them fullscreen. So maybe:
- on per app basis (where keyboard is an app too)
- masterswitch in notification area or as widget (or any place that can be reached easily to switch keyboard to one side)
Kind regards,
Treare
