[Q] CyanogenMod with PA's PIE - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm looking for a Custom Rom, essentially something like CyanogenMod with ParanoidAndroid's PIE implementation.
The important features for me are:
DSPManager (100% need)
Lot of Quicksettings (3g/2g would be nice (like CM))
Battery Circle (would be nice)
PA's PIE (CM's pie is not that great(unresponsive and incomplete[i know it's just a nightly and not finished])
Hybrid Engine( would be cool but not really needed, would use it just for 2 apps)
Charging lights (would be cool)
Lockscreen custom background(would also be cool)
Lockscreen targets (cool but not that important)
some other things I missed when I used ParanoidAndroid, instead of CyanogenMod(atm)
What Rom could you recommend me?
Greetz

I personally love root box. Check out PAC ROMs as well

try revolt rom.
if you want an awesome lock screen i suggest purchasing WidgetLocker
thats what i use, ultimate customization.
and for pie, you can use the LMT launcher on any rom that doesnt have PIE already in it.
and for charging light, you can use LightFlow to change colors for each notification or color when charging ,etc

Both seem to be missing the DSPManager :/ I still prefer using PA's Pie in favour of LMT. And I also don't like to use that much 3rd party apps if possible!

You can extract the dspmanager apk file and install it onto whatever rom you want. You can also delete unwanted 3rd party apps as well.

Didn't work for me: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/41796/install-dspmanager-on-a-non-cm-rom

Or install jellybam.

[Q] Which rom should I get?

I am thinking about getting a custom rom but I want to find the perfect one for me.
It must be stable enough to use has a daily driver, change softkey icons, colour changing to holo bars and icons, a feature like Paranoidandroid where you change the UI and other popular features.

Parandroid is my favorite have used CM but have really enjoyed PIE and Halo on Parandroid. I would use the 4.2 rom for now I used the 4.3 but It's just not ready yet. dont get me wrong I'm sure it will be but I'm back on Parandroid 4.2
Yeah, can you give me the link to it so I can install it?
I will have to downgrade the radio and bootloader for this one.

Why would anyone use Cyanogenmod on Nexus 4?

Since Nexus 4 runs on stock Android, what does Cyanogenmod offer as an extra?
Quiet hours and volume wake are simple features that I miss when on stock. There are many other changes.

I haven't tried it yet, but some report that Bluetooth MAP works with CM 10.1 and probably 10.2. That is something that cannot be achieved with an app, or that I've found, with a mod.

LED control & pulse battery light, custom toggles, expandable desktop with PIE, center clock, battery percentage icon, theme chooser, privacy guard, built in file manager, dsp manager, reboot menu, navigation ring slider shortcuts, lock ring slider shortcuts, custom lockscreen background, sliding across the status bar to adjust brightness, quick message pop up, volume wake, profiles, cm clock, tunable kernel etc etc

While people will tell you CM sucks in terms of features compared to what other ROMs offer, I think it has the most useful and best implemented features, even though it doesn't have every little tweak and customization that other ROMs do. There are hardly any reasons not to use cm; there are so many advantages. I couldn't get by on stock because of the lack of features.

how does CM compare to Paranoid Android? Are they both stock android with tons of customizable functions?

Yeah, pretty much. Those two, Carbon, AOKP, all AOSP ROMs with different customization options and features. I'm partial to AOKP myself.

This should help, an infographic of features in the popular ROMs:

A very simple answer would be: to be able to customize. There are a lot of ROMs out there, pick the one that satisfies you in any way of customization.

This is an addition to what people said why you should use cm of other roms can be somed up in one word. "stability" cm has a record for being a robust rom with alot of support. Most roms don't have that.

Thank you +ParanoidAndroid** for your hard work
(** Links to Google+ removed due to Restrictions)
I can tell you one of those things is being worked on
I'd love App privacy to also manage network access :fingers-crossed:

App privacy is currently available by exposing Google's App Opps implementation.
We'll see if they release it themselves for 4.4
I'd like improved quiet hours: the ability to silence phone calls, set different times for weekends/weekdays, quiet hrs qs toggle and for important contacts/ two calls in a set time period to ring the phone loudly. Also I'd like the ability to have 4 qs toggles in a row. Other then that thanks so much for this wonderful rom and keep up the amazing work
I think per app auto rotation control will be a good addition to the hybrid engine.

It is under consideration, Hybrid 3 has been written to be easily extend. I think its a great feature and would use myself, however an app can override the system settings and this covers most use cases: video, e readers etc
I have seen CM has fixed the problem where going into Recent Apps sometimes shows you a minimizing animation of previously opened app, although the app isn't in app switcher.
Even the stock Android has that problem. I'd like to have that fix in PA also.

Yes I agree. Does anyone know why PA uses these instead of the stock ones? Seems odd considering that PA strongly supports the android design guidelines and keeping things as close to stock as possible.

They were changed to work with PAC (per app color). The stock ones are opaque and the color feature looks nasty on them. The new ones are more transparent to work better with PAC. But yeah, I agree. They don't look the same. I'm sure with all the kk leaked images showing white icons, there gonna have a nice chance to remake them

My feature requests:
-Use Volume keys to move cursor r/l as in CM
-Battery charging light as in CM-
-In PA 3.99 or in PA 3+ generally, the QS Tiles are smaller or a part of the very top Quicksettings-Tiles-row is missing. That looks very strange! Please fix it so that it looks like in "original" Android so that you can see 4 rows of QS-Tiles when you switch to them, and not also the upper part of the Tiles in the fifth row!
Then I'd use this ROM as my daily ROM instead of CyanogenMod as HALO and the Hybrid Engine is so great!

[Request] Quick Setting Panel Customized -solved

Can some one create a flashable Mod for rooted stock rom, which allow to add and edit the quick setting panel as the CM has one?
This is the feature I most miss on my Nexus 5 by far with the stock rom, on my previous phones I had alwasy CM roms installt. Maybe I will also do with my current N5 when official nightlys are available.
Thanks in advance!!
Solution:
Install Xposed framework

I highly recommend Cataclysm Rom, the best rom for Nexus 5 by far imo. It has almost every mods and tweaks you need except for theme chooser, etc.
I want the same. I want to keep stock rom as I love the pure aosp.

Stock is not AOSP. This is Google's version of Android. AOSP is the open source project that everyone works from.

Google really nailed it with the Nexus 5 and 4.4. This is the first phone I am not running to root, unlock, and start flashing away stock. With a few *minor* tweaks such as quick settings customization it would be near perfect.
I want to add screen orientation and flashlight to the quick settings. Google why cant you just be smart!
Just use Power Toggles in the meantime.

I definitively will give it a try, it looks really interesting.
Just wait for Xposed Framework, lets you modify stock without reflashing, etc. It doesn't work yet since 4.4 breaks everything in it, but the developer will probably have that all fixed up by the end of the month if I had to guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
I still don't get why Google didn't make this feature. The Quick Settings Panel hardly improved from Android 4.2. I would stay 100% stock ROM if Google added this feature, battery percentage (no not the crappy white one that's in there now) and long press volume rocker to skip tracks.

What lockscreen do you use?

Try to make my lock screen more efficient or helpful. I have been trying several lock screen replacements/widgets recently. Wondering if I am missing any good ones and wonder what everyone else uses?
Stock? Stock w/dashclock? Widget locker? Cover? Start? Other? Let me know, thanks!
Stock.
Ditto, stock
best choice
go locker with carnival theme is the best

I tried cover, I don't understand peek really. I mean I get it, you can peek at the app, but you can only see so much before you have dragged it to the point where it just unlocks. And I don't have a lot of variation in my useage, so my apps list was mostly the same no matter where I was. I do like that it can change wallpapers based on where you are though. If they could incorporate the ability to change lockscreen widgets based on location that might make it better for me.
I like dashclock widget, but I hate that I have to expand it in order to actually click on my message to open into the messaging app. But I think I found an xposed mod to fix that, gonna try it out.
