[ROM][AOSPA][HALO][PIE][PEEK] Unofficial ParanoidAndroid 4.3 Nightlies (Vanilla or HALO) [BETA 6] - Nexus 5 Android Development

[ROM][AOSPA][HALO][PIE][PEEK] Unofficial ParanoidAndroid 4.3 Nightlies (Vanilla or HALO) [BETA 6]
Details:
As of right now, these builds do not include Hover. The ParanoidAndroid team is still cleaning up the source code and will release it when they see fit. As soon as they do, I'll include it in my builds. Pie AND Peek are now included.
I've been making nightly builds of ParanoidAndroid for a while, and I figured I might as well share them for anyone who's interested. Some people are interested in just the latest nightlies with the merged codes from the gerrit, and for them I have a clean build with exactly that. Whatever changes are officially merged in gerrit are in these nightlies. However, I know some people, including myself, are also interested in using Halo on my Nexus 5. For those people, I also have a build that is exactly the same, but with Halo added. Download whichever you're interested in!
I didn't change anything from the PA team, so the kernel and everything else is the PA team's work. Depending on the latest merges, I may or may not edit a few lines so that Halo still works with the newest changes.

thanks for sharing. I had been able to merge halo until around the beta 4 merges, so thank you!

Out of curiosity - why isn't PA doing this themselves if it works fine?

---

'Cause they're working on a whole new version for kitkat.

jabza, this works great! why don't you submit your merges for the halo framework and settings to the AOSPA github?

They want their official releases to be 100% rock solid stable. With these nightlies, you might run into some bugs here or there. With 4.4, the PA team has a new philosophy where they want the user experience to be as close to stock (and bug-free) as possible.
That being said, I've run into almost no bugs in running PA nightlies, so it's probably a "just in case" sort of thing.

Woops, sorry. I didn't see your post earlier; it must've showed up while I was typing my response to the other. And because the PA team is still working on it, so they don't want it merged yet. Besides, I'm not doing much besides compiling it, so it's predominantly their work. If I make any significant patches, though, they'll be submitted to the gerrit.

it seems most of the recent merges have been rebasing and resolving conflicts, so i don't think the PA team would mind if you shared your conflict resolutions to get Halo working!

---

To anybody getting antsy, I haven't uploaded a new nightly recently because there haven't been any changes since the last one. Thus, there's no use spending time building/uploading one and having you download it, as it'll be the exact same ROM.

I've been wanting Halo back, but don't have the patience to wait for the PA team. Thanks for this.

Same here, and I know I'm not the only one, so that's why I decided to put this up. :good:
Also, for anyone who's interested, they've merged more again today and I posted new builds. Here was the only change from the gerrit:
Code:
Update prebuilt su
v1.93

Old. They haven't released the new halo code anywhere. Though, it should be noted that they've made improvements to halo since PA v3; the "new" halo is mostly just a change in color.

What do you mean? Do you mean Halo doesn't open Hangouts when you get an SMS or do you mean Hangouts isn't staying set as your default SMS app? Which Gapps did you use?
Either way, it seems to work fine for me.

Just updated the OP with new builds uploaded to my Drive; MediaFire didn't want to upload them today for some reason. Anyways, for those of you keeping yourselves updated, this is a big one. The PA team merged a lot of new changes today, and it was mostly bug fixes and technical details, with a few more notable exceptions.

I think the build number stays the same from the last time you did a clean flash. But if you go to the ParanoidOTA app and it has a card based UI, you know you got the changes. The build date in phone settings is just inaccurate.
