Root Can we start an FAQ for Paranoid Android 3+?

Goo manager notified me of another update, but I'm 300 pages a lot of pages behind after a day of not looking at the xda thread. (I misread total page count). I wanted to keep track of important posts from there for myself, and I figured it wouldn't be much harder to flesh out a fuller FAQ from that.

Demo video

The install instructions often referred to here, link to newer roms here. The later versions can be dirty flashed, but the gapps needs to be flashed every time. Don't use gapps from goo.

There were builds on 2/14, 2/15, 2/18, and 2/19.

Information about the new radios. There was an old version ending with .33 to a new one ending in .48 that came with android 4.2.2. .48 disables LTE if you were lucky enough to have it and is not compatible with android 4.2.1 (2/15 build). Benefits of .48 are not concrete as far as I can tell.

Bugs??
-HDMI out not working in 4.2.2 versions?

Other questions:
How to get extended desktop
-Hold power button, select extended desktop

How to use PIE with status bar
-Turn off extended desktop, enter hybrid properties from settings, swipe right, interface, set Nav. bar to 0%. You cannot get notifications in pie this way

How to get settings back to normal
-Open settings, Tap recent, Long press settings thumb nail, Tap hybrid, Max DPI (320), lowest UI layout (360p), apply

How to get battery % in status bar
-not implemented yet, use a theme. Blue mint was mentioned a couple times but I didn't like it

How does longpress to unlock work
-in 2/19 build, with widgets in full screen mode, long press on lock icon. Settings>lockscreen to auto full screen widgets

Does it work with franco kernel?
-Yes, if using a 4.2.2 build, use a 4.2.2 compatible kernel

What's the best version of franco kernel?
-no clue, someone else
 
This would be good, there is one on xda but not sure how well maintained it is and how 'visible' but the amount of repeat questions is ridiculous!

I also had an idea for a PA3.0 Colour thread and or tips and tricks; for example sharing per app colours for apps people have done themselves (I've done xda, Fabrik e reader and Dolphin browser with colours taken from within the apps) and tips on DPI changes to certain apps to achieve this look or that look.
 
I think this is the one, it does cover some of the common questions which is good. I guess I wanted a good place to know all the important info but nightlies are probably too frequent to keep up with. I've got 30+ pages to skim for important info, which is only changelog + bugs/fixes. It's a mess

to add: came across this post for colorsin the main thread. It has a link to this google doc for apps, you might want to add yours if it helps
