Will you be adding a option to make the stock launcher go into landscape? I don't mind the phone UI on the N7 but being able to put it in landscape at the home screen would be butter:-)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
Well what do you know... I just happen to have a lonely Nexus 7 sitting right here! Guess its time to flash me some KRAKD-7. Nice job dudes, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jcarrz1:
Did you know that the philosophy of KRAKD is to never be laggier than stock? The idea is that a nice lightweight rom that's optimized and zipaligned and deodexed and treated with care will ALWAYS be faster than stock.

Thanks for the awesome feedback everyone!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Do the benchmarks agree with that? I will be installing this once I figure out roms, I just want to make sure that it is a worthy investment :)

ive yet to grab my nexus 7 but i do have a galaxy nexus and jelly bean is ridiculously smooth and fluid. no issue sin the speed department. and we only have sdk, no source
[Nexus 7 Android Development] koradon:
Oops! Very Quick & Good Work. Big Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Holyoblation:
Wow, this rom looks great. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Please tell me, which "superfluous apps" have been removed?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goolac:
google io

I have my tablet on order....

Next year I am thinking about attending google IO hell the swag alone is worth it!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vinvinvinster:
I would go even if there was no swag. I hope I can get a ticket next year again

Yay glad I found Jcarrz working on another device. Used his stuff over on the TF101 anf I should have my nexus 7 next month.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hanthesolo:
Hey jcarrz, nice to see you and your team are the first devs working on a Nexus 7 rom, although we miss your work of the TF101 forums. Relating to post a few pages back, is Tablet UI mode on this rom just a DPI hack (which I am assuming it is), or was it a bit more complex?I am extremely eager to get my hands on such an incredibly powerful device, and I am ready to leave tegra 2 and it's single channel memory (the main cause of lagon tegra 2) in the dust. It will be a sad day when Tegra 3 is lapped by a new SOC.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bobb_o:
How much HD space is left on the 7 after this install?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hanthesolo:
The partitions on the nexus 7 are static, so your free space should not be affected, unless you are talking about the free /system space.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bobb_o:
I was wondering if this gives more space because with stock you only get 5.xx GB available.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Clienterror:
No, the partitions stay the same whether they're full or empty so you get the exact same mass storage space. It's like on your computer if you have multiple logical partitions if one of them is full or empty it doesn't effect the others. You're always going to have the same user storage no matter what ROM you flash.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vinvinvinster:
Finally finished a build of AOSP for the Nexus 7. I'm going to test it out now and see how it works. Launcher rotation and tablet UI are compiled in as well.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] karl0ss:
great news!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] speednub:
Hi guys. I'm a bit new to flashing... so forgive me if my questions are stupid.

I flashed Krakd onto my Nexus 7 and its taking foreverrrrrrrr to load. Its just sitting there on the screen with the twirling triangles. What do i do?

EDIT: Found out I had to wipe data. Haha. =) Thanks guys!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rich_RH:
Thanks any chance of 4.1.1?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
Downloading
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
Very smooth. I actually noticed the improvement over stock. Great work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
I would gladly test any builds you may need testing on.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Rom felt very sluggish for me. Do we have to wipe system partition before we flash this?

MB860, CM7.2.0, Faux 026b1 1Ghz
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
It is highly recommended
[Nexus 7 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
So I assume we just ignore the 4.1.1 OTA update after we flash KRAKD?

Edit: I also just tried restoring apps with TiBu and got the "no root" message. Root checker also say no root :-/ Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
What I did when this happened was downloaded the Su flashable zip flashed it and everything was good after that. You may find you cannot boot into recovery. I actually took the update you spoke of earlier. It returned an error and booted me into recovery. That's when I reflashed supersu
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
I did a full reset and wiped dalvik again to be safe. Had the same problem from above and fixed it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
Ahh, that make s sense about flashing the Su zip. I will look for it and try that. Thanks!! I didn't accept the update though, I had no root right after flashing KRAKD.

Edit: Damn. I can't get into recovery to flash it. I powered down and held power and volume down to get to the fastboot screen but I can't select anything with the volume keys. I have to hold power until it reboots normally...

Edit #2: OK. I am an idiot. I see what you meant by telling me that you applied the update and it sent you to recovery... My bad. I thought that is what made you loos root. I did the same thing and was given the error code and was sent to CWR. I was then able to flash SuperSU. Thanks again man :-)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] je2345:
Any eta on when u will update to 4.1.1? Just installed to, and am being asked to install 4.1.1
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
No problem I have been playing with this ROM since the first day I think. Glad I could help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
Yeah, im getting the update notice quite often as well. Kinda annoying lol

Big help bro. I've had this tablet since Google I/O and I guess I should have flashed this ROM sooner. Pretty sweet.... except for the constant update notice. Are you getting those all the time too?

Ya, it's very highly recommended only if you wipe. If you don't it won't work...

Can anyone give me a link to the wallpaper shown in the OP but without the 'SD' logo on it. I love it especially with the diamond shapes and design on it

Thanks ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lightninbug:
Patiently waiting for an updated release as I would love an alternative to Paul's kitchen based roms
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sanchez:
That's the stock wallpaper that comes with the ROM, and the SD logo is actually a widget, so you can remove it.

Just installed this, liking it so far. My only gripe is the lack of the advanced power menu. Perhaps next build? Other than that it's awesome, thanks for the good work everyone :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
I need this update to I wonder what's up
[Nexus 7 Android Development] giveen:
Hm, root doesn't seem to be working, had to re-root it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
You could have just reflashed an SU zip. Unless that's what you meant by reroot. Doubt it though.

KANGBANGED
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
Thats what he meant. It does appear to lose root when that happens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nickrl:
Am I missing something here? i cannot get the launcher to rotate to Landscape. Im a little confused, it there tablet ui or not?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
Auto rotate and tablet ui are two different things. Auto rotate is in the drop down but also in your launcher settings so make sure thats set properly. Tablet ui is achieved by changing the DPI from 312 to 160.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kenikh:
Nice and fast! The only thing is that I am now being told by Google Play that a few apps are now incompatible (Flipboard, for example) with my device, which worked on stock. Assuming this a build.prop setting thing?

I had an old APK of the original release, but can't get the latest from Play.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] armyboy11b:
Probably DPI issue chase its fine for me and reg DPI

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kidromulous:
Yeah that's what I have been running just liked this ROM a lot and was hoping support would continue here..Ty much
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nicknowsky:
+1 for support, at least something close to stock 4.1.1 that works

Thanks!!!
[Networking] mikef:
Google Voice is free. Not sure on the app, might be GrooveIP Lite.
[Networking] Reilly1812:
If you can connect to wifi then you're good. No voice/data plan? Good for flashing.

[Networking] MrObvious:
You can get the 30 dollar T-Mobile plan for 5GB of data and use the GV app and use Sipdroid for phone calls. It doesn't work too good over edge (unless you get good signal) so make sure you get 3g.
[Networking] Mesaman2012:
What is sipdroid?
[Networking] luftrofl:
Not to sound rude or anything but there's this cool thing called a search engine, maybe you've heard of it. You can use it to find basic to advanced information, such as the answers to literally all of your questions in this thread.
[Networking] MrObvious:
Basically you make phone calls over data.

hi all,

i have just now downloaded ICS official source code (14GB) just wanted to know if i want to work on CM9

do i need to download something simmilar again.

also can anyone compress the whole package and see if it could be transmitted using any other means other then repo sync.

can anyone tell me why do git has to keep all revisions on my machine.

Note : i may sound a bit frustrated coz this whole GB's of download i fail to digest.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

i thought this! but its best to build then mod settings.apk, framework.apk & systemUI.apk

you have to pull things into your repo with adjustments to your local_manifest. (i think)

way beyond me anyway:-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
I would recommend just completing a build first. You might end up with errors just doing that, so best to get a few builds under your belt before trying to alter source code.

I'm pretty sure twa_priv's comment in the kernel thread is right, and your repos are out of sync. When I first started building this kind of stuff would happen to me all the time, which was really frustrating because a single CM7 build would take 7-8 hours on my old ass machine.

Essentially, you're getting that error because certain files are either missing or incomplete. It's expecting the /root/modules directory to be there when in fact it's not, so files cannot be created and placed there. Nine times out of ten a 'repo sync' will fix you right up.

(As a last resort you could always manually download the kernel and device repos and add them to the CM9 source. You could then sync those directories back up later, and that way you'd definitely know you have all the necessary files.)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
hi smirkis

can you alter the source files before building?

any tips would be good.

i can build source then mod (but thats it)

can i for instance add apk's before building (if so how, do i just add them?).

can i swap the kernel, say for ravens?

thanks any pointers would help (i have read &read for hours but can not find a noobs guide that explains the basics (i brought the xda book) very handy but only for modding apk's etc.

is this how most roms are created (just built from source then 3x apk's modded) or am i missing a massive part to all this.

sorry for being a noob (probebly trying to run before he can crawl, but i'm well into this stuff).. :-)

thanks

steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
I did a repo sync probably 100 times with no luck. That's why I completely deleted the dir and started over with a fresh sync. Its just about done so let's see what happens
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I've never done it but this is how I would probably approach it:

Create a prebuilt/app directory in the device tree, put your apks in there and then add followin to device.mk.

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \

prebuilt/app/MyApp.apk:system/app/MyApp1.apk \

prebuilt/app/MyApp.apk:system/app/MyApp2.apk \

I probably would create a separate makefile for the custom stuff but this should get you started.

Edit: But this would put the apps in /system/app - which you probably don't want.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
there are certain things you can modify before building. settings options and pre configurations. its mostly up to how u want to do it. u can download ravens source n push it before building or add his source to your mk file before syncing. I haven't played with it for a while but u guys are encouraging me to lol

[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Is there a guide somewhere to building a ROM? more of an idiot's guide that walks you through the process from A to Z.

brunch otter should build for the fire. brunch should bring up a "menu" for you to choose from. try it with n without n u should see the difference.

I want to throw my comp out the window,

Edit: OK so it happens on the last 2 projects and drops at the same spot, anyone know how I could get it to just fetch these last 2?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
What part is it hanging on? There could just be a lot of traffic depending on which project it's trying to fetch. It took me days to get the prebuilt folder when I first synced up due to connectivity issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
If you just want to start building, go to github in a web browser and you can manually download those 2 folders as zips. Then just extract them in the appropriate directory in the source.

Other than that you can try forcing the sync or using -j1 and see if that might help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
When you guys are initializing the CM manifest are you using http or git (ssh)? Git (ssh) has some issues sometimes so if you are using it try http, on the transverse if you are using http try git (ssh).

In either event before reinitializing the repo manifest perform the steps listed in the first entry of the KFire-Android Wiki-Faq, always looking to add to the entire wiki so if you guys find anything missing let me know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
+1. This was exactly why the prebuilt folder took so long for me to fetch. I ended up having to use http for a few days.

Finished building the rom. Thanks for the help guys!

Sent from a thingymajig that sends things.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
Congratulations veeman, glad to here someone got it lol just wish I was in the same boat. Its hanging on http://github.com/kfire-android/android_frameworks_base

If I were to download the 2 projects where would I place them? I think the other one I'm missing is cyanogenmod/android_prebuilt
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
The project names will always indicate the paths where they go. So, if you're using the /android/system naming like in most tutorials it should look like:

/android/system/frameworks/base/

with everything found here inside that directory.

android_prebuilt would need to go in /android/system/prebuilt/

and likewise, it should mirror this url.

Btw, these are very large repos so I'm not surprised this is where you are getting time out errors.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
Its weird because it times out at 97% every time. I'll download as zips and see if it works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
So close yet so far:-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If it times out shortly before 100% then decrease the degree of parallelism. It defaults to 4.

Try repo sync -j1 or repo sync -j2
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
What the hell! I just turn my comp on and start up my virtual box and now I'm getting the repo not a command again!
