Hi,

is there someone who can post a few screenshots of the Nexus 7 with this Rom? Or is there a Youtube video out there?

I know what this Rom is based of, but can not imagine how it really looks like on the nexus 7.

i own a nexus 7 3g since Saturday - still with Stock Rom...

Would be awesome if someone can post some screenshots!

Thx!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
There aren't all that many pages in this thread, and I for one posted probably 5-10 different screen shots that could show you a bit, at various points in this thread.

I really miss sgt7 on 4.2. Hope cm releases cm10.1 soon
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Me too, however with the current state of 4.2 it might be advisable to wait a bit longer..

I am running Paranoid now for a few days, just for the H#ll of it.. as soon as a new STG7 becomes available I'll be back..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SteveC485:
I tried 4.2 just for the sake of my curiosity. Storage 0 is one result. The loss of OTG is another. I can't really like the loss of tablet ui either. The basic functions of the 42 build were fine on my N7.

Anyway sgt7 is just about exactly right for me and like you' I'll be ready to download when a sgt7 4.2 shows up. After a few days of 4.2 I restored the 4.1.2 backup.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dieandromeda:
super smooth. nice. i also use sgt7 for my kindle.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
After a few days on PA, back to STG7... It just has everything I need..

Waiting for a (nearly) bugfree 4.2. But I have time.. no rush. :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Thanks

I just want to express my thanks for bringing such a good rom to my Nexus 7.

Over the last week I have been trying out other roms and then I realized that all I want from a rom I get from this one. Yes 4.2.1 would be cool with it's user accounts. But no hurry yet.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ipaq_101:
Hey Cdesai,

What's up man? You have been quite lately, so just wanted to check in with you to see what you have been working on. What other devices do you have?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] snake4812:
No doubt cdesai always comes through

This is easily the best Nexus 7 rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] j.v.fouts:
so first and foremost dont bite my head off cause ive already recovered this from being screwed up today and dont want to go through it all again (fastboot, adb, etc.)

Can i install this with TWRP as recovery and 4.2 already on the device? ( N7 has been unlocked bootloader/root with twrp installed)

I tried to install a different rom earlier and got stuck at Nexus boot loop, only reason im reaching out on here, it seems all in all this is a great rom reading post, but i dont know if my current set up will allow this or if i need to do extra steps ie. downgrade then flash. thanks for any help.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ortrigger:
You would have to flash back to the 4.1.2 bootloader and then do a clean flash of it. The new bootloader only works with 4.2 roms.

Sent from my eclipsed lg spectrum
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
No, i don't think that's right. I upgraded to 4.2.1 with new bootloader and all and i can go back and forth between versions
[Nexus 7 Original Development] j.v.fouts:
So ive got one yes and one no, any other thoughts, and would TWRP work with this installation or do i need to install CWM?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nex86:
nope. I can run 4.1.2 roms too on the 4.2 bootloader.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
Sorry for the delay guys, but since we all have only a Galaxy Tab, our first priority is getting 4.2 running on it, so that sbradymobile can start porting his awesome code to 4.2

I've started creating the branches today, but it'll take some time, since our tab needs some work before 4.2 can be usable on it, and i've got exams next week so i'm kinda busy.

If all you need is user accounts, they're enabled in our builds already, though the code has changed quite a lot in 4.2, which we'ld like to have :)

TL;DR

Stay tuned, there'll be a 4.2 ROM someday, just gonna take some time ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Thanks for keeping us informed.

We can wait.. ( I can at least.. ;) )

Better do good on the exams, good luck!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
This has been my fave rom for ages. Just did a run through of a bunch of others (4.2.1 mainly) to see if they were better. Decided to come back to the best.

However.

Home button doesnt do anything (I think can be solved by installing a custom launcher but still)

Android keyboard fails on start.

No new user thing to setup accounts and wifi.

...........

I dont recall it being like this. If I didnt already know it was great I probably wouldnt persist.

Edit: Play store doesnt work either so I cant install Apex to make home button work :(

What could be going wrong? I know it wasnt this bad before. I must have done something wrong.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
So true

So true again.. ;)

I have had the same problem a few weeks ago.. Homebutton wouldn't move. tried Paranoid Android and back again.. still the same problem. I managed to solve it by going all the way back to stock, rooting and flashing again.

There might be an easier way but this worked for me.

And yes, I did try a complete wipe, setting permissions and all those easy fixes..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] peter1989212:
Glad to hear this, I thought you've stopped developing for grouper. Thanks cdesai!!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
You ever com in back Desai?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
Merry Christmas everyone!

4.2 builds up at http://goo.im/devs/cdesai/sgt7/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Thank you!

Downloading!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] itslels:
Uhm, hope this isnt a stupid question...but...how do I turn on tablet ui in the new 4.2 builds?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thedude2004:
As far as I am aware 4.2 doesn't have tablet UI, only Phablet
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cerinthus:
Does this have dual pane?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
I haven't been able to get tablet ui either.. Waited for STG7 so I'd have tablet ui... mmm what to do now? Thinking about going back to 4.1.2
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Darius_AWS:
Can i apply this on the latest paranoid without a wipe and come back to paranoid without wipe if I dislike it ?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] akoepke:
I doubt it. Different ROMs require a full wipe of all apps and data. You would be best taking a backup via your recovery (CWM, TWRP) and then restoring that if you don't like this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ipaq_101:
Where is the SGT7 in this rom?

Is this just CM10?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
4.2 does have the tablet system bar code, but the problem is that it hasn't been updated, so it doesn't have the new stuff (QuickSettings for example).

So, there's no tablet mode toggle yet, since it'll need a lot of code to be ported before it becomes usable.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
So actually it's just CM 10.1

Not what we expected cdesai. The reason I, and most STG7 users have been running your ROM is the full blown tablet interface. Otherwise we could have used CM10.1, and would have I expect.

I realize that you and the other developers have a life outside STG7 and still develop for users like me. And I really really appreciate that.

In hindsight it would have been better not to have released this version until the tablet interface was functional. That is after all the distinguishing feature of your ROM.

With respect,

Jeroen
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
No cm10.1 as-it-is, but yea.

I realised that after I released it, my bad.

I apologize, and the next thing I do when I get some free time is bringing back tablet mode.

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Darius_AWS:
Finally tried it...and didn't see any tablet mode..so I revert back to pa without wipe :P

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
First off all, no need to apologise!

You are coding for free. We are just (un) grateful users.

I think I am voicing the opinion of many when I say: School and private life first and then if you have time, get full tablet mode running on 4.2.1

Respect!

Jeroen
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Oh bugger. So excited then not so much.

Merry Xmas to you too mate. Thanks for thinking of us anyway.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SteveC485:
I wasn't expecting to see Tablet UI in the first sgt7 10.1. There is one is another 10.1 ROM, but it does not allow for putting the buttons on either side of the tablet. There is another one which is supposed to have tablet UI, but that one doesn't work. So whenever you get around to it is fine with me.

Another issue here, and with another CM 10.1 ROM I'm evaluating is that one of the albums in the gallery is video and won't work. It is from some images saved from AndroLib Wallpapars , not everything.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Its called "sgt7 making your nexus 7 a true tablet" how can you not expect tablet mode lol.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SteveC485:
It says nothing about the 10.1 having a tablet ui. Also other CM 10.1 ROM's have tablet ui that are not yet fully functional, so with that in mind I was not expecting a tablet ui anything like the CM 10 version. I was perhaps hoping for tablet ui, but looks like Google changes to 4.2.+ are going to make it harder for the devs.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
Got a few minor issues to fix (including switching on the fly) before i'll do a new build with this :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
You the man Desai.. Never lost faith in ya.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
New build up :)

GSM: http://goo.im/devs/cdesai/sgt7/tilapia/sgt7-10.1-20121227-EXPERIMENTAL-tilapia-cdesai.zip

Contains tablet UI toggle, you can switch on-the-fly by ticking it in Settings -> System -> Status Bar

Doesn't have QuickSettings in the tablet mode yet.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
This is the first ROM that works with trebuchet in tablet ui. Love being back on sgt7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] _Raziel666:
Can we update from a CM 10.1 normally without a full data wipe?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Awesome! Thanks mate :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
Sure, do backup though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SteveC485:
Thanks. Now, personally I hope you can add the "flip tablet mode". Maybe I'm weird, but this right handed user holds the tablet with the left hand and I like to use my right thumb to push the buttons. So for now tablet ui mode is off.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kevin130:
Deleted.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dbrickg:
oh, yay, yay, yay! this is fabulous! now i've got my beloved tablet mode back again.

having buttons on the top of a tablet is just silly. i don't understand why google and cm are being so stubborn about this point. seems like a totally sensible thing to have a tablet mode option. way weird to have to install a whole rom, just to get a simple config switch.

thanks again and again

Does anyone know why xda won't stay logged in on chrome? Actually, nothing stays signed in (facebook etc). I don't have any task killers running or anything like that
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CheesyNutz:
I'm new to the gt tablet ui so how done get notifications I hear them coming in but I see nothing
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cerinthus:
Tablet ui combines the navbar and the status bar. Notifications are on the bottom right.

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------

It sounds like you have cookies off. If its not that try uninstalling chrome and reinstalling it. It works fine for me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CheesyNutz:
Yea i think its the theme I'm using kinda blends in :'(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
This is only vaguely related I guess but I'm out of ideas.

How can I get play store installed?

TiB restored everything but play store.

Tried downloading and apk and installing it. FC on open. Put the apk in system/apps ans changed permissions ..same thing.

Any ideas short of full gapps install.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CheesyNutz:
Why not install a fresh gapps?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] peter1989212:
Hooray, look who's back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamesbra:
Not to be all noobish but the features say gesture controls and I cannot find them. Any help guys? Also thanks for bringing sgt7 up to 4.2 for us cdesai. This has been my daily driver since I got the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dbrickg:
Immediafely after you install this rom zip, you need to install the latest gapps, gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip... or something like that. There's a link to it in the first post of this thread
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Not a big deal. I just don't like/use most of gapps so I have to go through and uninstall them all. I thought that was kinda the point of titanium backup.

I'll just do it I guess. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ipaq_101:
Does this ROM have gesture control? For example swipe screens here or there to toggle to expanded desktop...etc
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
Not at the moment.. But im sure down the road they'll be added.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ipaq_101:
Thanks, I really miss gesture control as a feature...there is a app called hide bottom bar for $1.30 that's works well...but not as smooth as gesture control and really no options.

But it will have to do for now I guess.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] diba320:
Does this ROM work with Multiboot v3?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] XxNiKxX:
First of all I'm not new to Android, been in the scene since last 2 years. But I'm new to Nexus 7, which doesn't have a sd-card slot. So my question is that while flashing ROM do I have to factory reset and wipe data? If yes then I heard that 4.2 does something with data folder for multi-user and bring it to the sdcard, so if I wipe data or factory reset will my whole sdcard(Internal Storage) get wiped? :confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CheesyNutz:
Since installing this rom

Media server has been causing loads of wake locks :-\ any ideas I did a fresh install wipe data etc etc
[Nexus 7 Original Development] taylor.fowler:
I think its a cm problem. Getting the same issue with the latest cm 10.1 nightly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sipock97:
I always do the factory reset and data wipe, also wipe dalvic. The file you are referring to is sdcard/0 To be safe I copy my Titanium backups, and TWRP backups to my computer before flashing.:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VaderSKN:
Should I do a full wipe when upgrading from 4.1 version to 4.2 version?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mulletcutter:
Back up, wipe cache flash. If problems occur. Full wipe.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
Sgt7 4life
[Nexus 7 Original Development] XxNiKxX:
It will take me ages to backup all my apps via Titanium! :eek: Isn't dirty upgrade from stock to SGT7 gonna work? :p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
Definitely not. Sgt7 is cm10.1
[Nexus 7 Original Development] XxNiKxX:
Alright I'll manage about my apps and all, but factory reset wipes internal storage as well, and backing up 12GB of data and then restoring is not practical also Nexus 7 doesn't acts as Mass Storage but MTP which is slow and buggy. :confused: Wiping just the data, system, cache and dalvik cache will do I guess?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] brfsa:
The lack of USB storage sux, and the Android file transfer is quite terrible.

What you can do is use adb pull, for example

adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup ./TitaniumBackup

It will download all files from that folder. I find it very fast and stable.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] XxNiKxX:
Your post reminded of Droid Explorer which I used with my X8, its a nice tool for Windows which allows to explore files of your device using adb. I recommend you to use that as well! :)

But still my one question remains unanswered, is factory reset necessary? Wiping system and data should be enough as only these are the folders which are used in flashing ROMs AFAIK...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ezas:
What?

A data (factory) reset does not wipe internal storage. If by internal storage you mean the virtual sdcard (where your media and downloads are stored)

Resetting (wiping) data erasers your app data. Contacts, messages, etc. But not what is stored on the virtual sdcard unless you format the actual partition the virtual sdcard is on. Which you don't need to do to go from an AOSP Rom to a CM based Rom.

I've added this ROM to the Nexus 7 Complete Index :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mistermagic87:
Thanks! This is awesome and just what I was looking for!

I'm going to use the older build with navigation customization.

Can't wait till 4.2 build gets 4.1 features ported over :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
There's no need to wipe data when you're coming from an AOSP ROM, just backup, some stuff might not work, but mostly it's fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] XxNiKxX:
Wiping data and factory reset are two different thing, and factory reset does wipes the internal storage! I did it once, but thankfully I had made a back up of my 10GB precious data! ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ttav:
Been running this rom for a few days.Can`t think of anything to complain about.

All the best for the new year.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] woti23:
depends on the custom recovery what it does. virtual sdcard's files/folders are in /data/media, if factory reset in recovery does not exclude this folder when wiping /data it's gone.

choosing "format data" in recovery should format the whole /data partition, this removes the data on virtual sdcard anyway.

alternative with adb:

boot phone to recovery

adb shell

mount /data

rm -r /data/[a-l]* ## l is lower character L

rm -r /data/[n-z]*

rm -r /data/misc

or

adb shell

mount /data

mkdir -p /data/tmp ; mv /data/* /data/tmp 2>/dev/null

mv /data/tmp/media /data && rm -r /data/tmp

this leaves the sdcard data but wipes almost everything else on data. (there are probably a few files in /data starting with a . (dot) left, which can be removed too)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] XxNiKxX:
Yup. I noticed in TWRP Factory Reset is not actually Factory Reset, and Format Data doesn't only formats the data but formats everything! CWM manages the words pretty well! :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mjs2011:
So should we not wipe data ever when coming from stock or another ROM? I am getting my N7 in the mail tomorrow. I just don't want to constantly lose game data and movies when flashing new ROMs.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mulletcutter:
use titanium back up, i usually never complete wipe the internal storage. just factory data reset/caches
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mjs2011:
Thanks and that's using twrp?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mulletcutter:
always
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mjs2011:
Sweet thanks again. This ROM looks sick. If only USPS would deliver today.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mulletcutter:
ROM is smooth, I came from PA and this doesn't have as many options, its still a good ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bmakk2055:
What's the default DPI?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] scrypt:
Does this ROm have a workable tablet UI. also are the navbar customizations supported. THe NAVBAR is too big!! i like it slim. AFAIK apart from AOKP no ROM has proper NAVBAR customizations and tablet ui. Yesterday i tested smooth rom it has very poorly managed tablet UI. The quick settings toggles and the previous toggles both don't work on it.

ANyway i just wanted to know whether the following are possible here or not. I have limited bandwidth so i thought i must ask before d/l.

1. NAVBAR customization

2. Tablet UI with workable quick toggles settings.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mulletcutter:
Try PA, has the slim nav bar. And can use 180 or 160 DPI. But the nav bar on this is fine. Have a big enuff screen to not worry about.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Would there be any way to have expanded desktop via a widget toggle or something like that? I think that would be cool. A bit easier than the power menu.

Loving the rom thanks. So smooth just with default kernel too.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CheesyNutz:
Has the media server problem been fixed ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ezas:
Ok I see that now. It even says it the menu. On every device I have had up till now format the sdcard was a separate option.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] tdizzle404:
Its not ROM related it is an app issue, I've googled and tested the issue alot trying to figure it out. Some say its from the Google now update and other say its caused by syncing pictures. I feel its more along the lines of Google+ running rouge. I've had the issue on all my devices and Google+ was the common denominator. But I don't know I know one thing is its pi**ing me off lol

Warning there is a bug that causes the Launcher to close when reducing the home screens from 5 to 1. The only fix was to wipe data and start fresh

Fresh install or just wiping caches

I don't know if it's been mentioned (I read most of the posts and didn't see anything, although I only skimmed) but I'm having an issue where the launcher doesn't fit the screen and only uses up just a small bit in the middle and all of the widget/app space looks completely bunched up.
