ParanoidAndroid for AOSP 4.2.2

PER-APP-DPI/LAYOUT
This is not tablet mode! Hybrid engine allows you to target apps individually. You get to pick their actual layouts which can tranform content drastically. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with build.prop hacks or DPI changes. We list all layouts an app brings, you choose one, its as easy as that. It does not matter if your device runs itself in Phone-, Phablet or Tablet-UI, your apps will always look as you like. On top of that you can scale apps, to fit your screen, that way you can even bring full fledged tablet apps and make them run perfectly. Nothing will break, nothing will shrink, your market will be fine. Additionally we have rewritten many parts of the android framework and fixed countless of AOSP bugs to make way for these modifications - our "tablet mode" runs better on a phone than on a real tablet, that is guaranteed.
PER-APP-COLOR
ParanoidAndroid's newest invention. Define apps in your regular hybrid panel. See your phone fade into the color definition of your current app, press home or go elsewhere and it fades back. Create as many combinations you like, you can even dabble with opacity. This feature is made possible by our hybrid engine, which is unique to this rom.
Work in Progress
- First of all, props and credit to nycbjr, dasunsrule32 and explodwild for their excellent work that contributed to the development of this ROM.
- Make sure you have an AOSP 4.2 compatible recovery such as the twrp version below.
- Please make sure you have backups for anything you don't want to lose.
- Caution is advised. No promises this will not eat your device and take over your home.
- Google apps linked below are the latest PA 4.2.2 version. These have been tested in combination with PA ROMs.
- This is a preview of what is to come. we are working hard to tame 4.2, which brought significant changes and bugs.
- Please do not ask about features from CyanogenMod, past PA releases or other ROM features. We will continue to add more features as we move toward version 3.x. Current focus is on getting to a 100% stable base.
- If you have an issue please make sure it is repeatable, capture logcat/dmesg, etc and post to pastebin or similar.
Installation
- Update your recovery to the latest version. Pre 4.2 recoveries can mess up your sd card/storage. We recommend TWRP.
- Download TWRP 2.3.2.3 for TF700T: twrp-2.3.2.3-tf700t.blob or the official recovery below.
- Official TWRP TF700T XDA Thread
- Download pa google apps: http://tinyw.in/vbhe Updated 10-APR-2013
- Download rom: http://tinyw.in/BCIG Updated 16-APR-2013
- Follow PA on Google+ for changes and other info
- Install TWRP from fastboot: "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp-2.3.2.3-tf700t.blob". This step is needed if you do not already have a 4.2+ compatible recovery installed. Older recoveries have been known to cause serious problems including loss of data. Did I mention you should backup anything you care about?
- Perform a factory reset in recovery, unless you are already on PA 2.99+
- Flash ROM first, then gapps
- Wipe dalvik & cache
- Reboot and wait, first bootup can take a little time
- Enter your Google account info, and follow the screen prompts
- Please do not restore system apps, system data and Google apps. This can cause bootloops and other problems due to mismatches coming from CM to AOSP and moving from Android version 4.1.2 to 4.2
