Hmmm... that is what I tried last time and it completely hosed it. And I am out of town for the week, so if it hangs, I cannot get it into Recovery as it needs to be connected to the PC to do so if the OS won't load. Not sure I want to risk it and be without the tablet for the week. haha
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Reeonimus:
Agree it would be nice to have a changelog, if it's just the latest CM10 merges or if you implemented any new original features.

I'm also curious as to what this "Rocket Laucher" is you list under features saying find it if you can? Anyone?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
I found rocket launcher in about 45 seconds while playing around with some of the Basic options of the rom. I'm not very experienced either. It's interesting, nothing I would ever use on a regular basis though. Cute little toy tho.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mvmacd:
I think I'm gonna try this [currently on stock rooted], almost mainly because of the Tablet UI mode without changing DPI.

I changed my DPI and ran into trouble, I had also force rotated my stock Launcher [with another build.prop hack].. so I was forced to return to the trash stock UI. :-S

I dunno why Google even did that.

Anyway I would really love to have a changelog, or at very least, an exhausted list of features/changes.. and I think that's it. I'm downloading the rom as I speak and will probably post an update later on.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
On the force rotate part - use free app Rotation Locker. Long press option locks it short set it temp. I like it even on this ROM because sometimes I don't want any rotation.

This ROM is relatively stable and fast - I'm on build 4 right now and plan to flash 5 later.

I've seen no benchmarks in this rom thread so here are mine
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mvmacd:
I believe the Trebuchet launcher has "rotate launcher" in some cyanogenmod settings [somewhere in Settings] or are you talking about google's stock launcher? I used a build.prop hack, I found it on this forum somewhere.

Anyway it worked fine. But changing the DPI made my dock disappear.. and then when I rotated, sometimes the apps disappeared for a little while, until I opened the drawer. but anyway, that screenshot.. that is not the stock UI bar on the bottom is it? it's... multicolored.. :eek:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dr.m0x:
Don't dpi changes screw up the play store?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mvmacd:
That too. haha.

Wellll. I should say "sorta," because a lot of the apps in Play Store worked, but, the only ones I remember not showing up in the search was "Rom Toolbox lite" and pro. I have the lite version [great app btw] and it still worked. But it just didn't show up [and when I clicked on the direct link from the Lite version to upgrade, it loaded it but said "This app is not compatible with your device" at the top.]

And this was at 170 DPI. I tried it at 160 DPI, and I think they might have shown up, but I'm not exactly sure anymore.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mvmacd:
I just flashed the ROM, but it has the phone UI.

I looked through the settings but can't figure out how to change it. Anybody?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] belair56:
Setting

Setting / launcher / dock / Tablet drawer button
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
Well, no I was not talking about Trebuchet launcher I was talking about

Which is a free app that... you guessed it.. locks rotation!

As far as stock, no it's the launcher with options set included in this ROM. The ROM which thread you're posting on.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
Attempted install of build 5 - downloaded update, slapped on root of device, used CWM to create a backup, did not erase cache or dalvik, went to install update 5, got message that Install was aborted, some signatures invalid (while signature check was set off) (I think that was the error message)... Rebooted and..

I'm at a default startup/fresh install login screen and - since I was still connected via usb - I opened the device and it's default. All CWM, all items, all settings, all backups .. :|

Gonna try again

Edit: data's gone but titanium backup had most of what I needed from Google drive backup. Odd tho, as everything was wiped including ROM manager backups.

what is edge swipe navigation?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HerbK:
thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
This ROM has custom kernel? What features at in it?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AZImmortal:
An edge swipe is like how you open the notification drawer, but on any of the sides, so you swipe from the outside in.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mvmacd:
oh ok, well I believe you can uncheck "Rotate" in Settings->Launcher
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gmlogan:
I used tablet UI and too edge swipe to hide the notification Navy bar combination to get full screen as I can. Works well-
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
The benefit of rotation locker is that you can lock rotation portrait, landscape or auto, and works with stock or any other ROM. But yes, you're right, you can.

Also - a Q about this ROM...

Where are pictures and videos stored at on the device? Like, taken with the camera? Can't seem to find them anywhere when hooked up via USB as a media device.

Edit: Let me answer my question for myself, and anyone else.

/storage/sdcard0/dcim/camera

Ok a couple of days op was posting them in the thread. Didn't know op was posting on fist post.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] llision:
Fantastic!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SquireSCA:
Only issue with this ROM is performance. Bit of lag, 20% lower quadrant scores, the tablet stutters and stalls when upf

Dating apps, etc...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
Have you tried reflashing? This ROM is superstable for me and the only issue I had was needing the more recent gapps flashed.

It just flies and has no issues that I have encountered.

I have no stock quadrants but here are this ROM's quadrant and antutu with interactive CPU governor and no over clocking outside of kernel.

Edited....

I flashed Trinity DerKernel and holy fk.. set to oc at 1700-1700 just a touch undervolted

Launcher Redraw

I'm also getting redraw with the modified trebechet launcher. While I know Apex and Nova are great alternatives, they only seem to be rapid for so long and then they slow down on me on the Nexus 7 after I have them running a week or so. Anybody know of a way to improve launcher performance (increase memory used, etc.)?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stilgar1337:
Ok, I solved it.

In case somone else has this problem, this is what I did:

I opened chrome, and it proposed to sync with my google account, so I told it to do so, and it prompted me with the fact that autosync was disabled. I then got the chance to enable it, and now it works.

Weird.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Azurewings125:
Its been so quiet here lately . I'm running build 5 with no issues at all. Can't wait for the next update.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pmvalente:
Running build 5, and so far so good....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrSchroeder:
I'm experiencing quite a bit of launcher redraw when I have the Kernel running CPU above 1300 megahertz. never happens at 1150. I would love a resolution to this

Edit to clarify I'm using Der Kernel .. however I was also seeing a lot of Launcher redraw when I was using stock redraw with this rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wilwilwel:
Looks like Paraniod Andriod but less options. I truely love it when devs find good sollutions like this rom .. No ugly dpi hack but good scripting
[Nexus 7 Original Development] z1gackly:
I'd like to try using the Tablet UI from this ROM in my own ROM which I've built/will be messing about with from CM10 source.

However, I am very fresh to all this, and I can't make head or tail of the sgt7 github or how to find the right bits to include.

I have managed to cherry pick one item from the uncommitted CM review area, and that was easy enough and it worked, but it seems like a big step from there to what I want to do next!

If anyone from the team could give a noob a pointer on where to start, even if it's just "RTFM" and a link to some kind of guide, I'd be massively grateful for a push in the right direction.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] djricekcn:
can a preview shots be uploaded? want to see how different this is from Paranoid...cause by reading, it sounds the same
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ElGato65:
I tried PA and tbh was a little overwhelmed by the options so was very pleased to find this ROM
[Nexus 7 Original Development] derelict:
I have been running this rom for a few weeks and it has been very stable. I added the trinity kernel and my device is flying... I wanted tablet mode... I tried paranoid but I would end up in a state where it would randomly reboot and then never recover from the splash screen. Tried it a couple of different ways. But I am really looking forward to the next SGT update!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wilwilwel:
I never had probs with paraniod andriod. They gonna release 2.0 wich rocks on GNex.

This rom is kinda the same but PA is beter.

If PA gives a FC with a app. Just reset default and try another setting. Not all apps are finished and causes probs like gmail phone contacts. Google couldnt finishe them on time for release and hoped none would noticed. But PA reveals faults or not finished code blocks. Since PA uses andriod system to re-render the application display and doesnt change the application it self.

Maybe Google finish the app coding in 4.2 ... Lets hope so
[Nexus 7 Original Development] z1gackly:
It's not better, it's a different interpretation. This ROM does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it very simply and effectively.

With this ROM there is just one checkbox to tick to switch modes, whereas PA can overwhelm some people with options.

It's bad form to come into this thread and criticise this ROM or say another is better. These developers work hard, and what they have achieved is excellent and worthwhile.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pmvalente:
+1
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Brilliant. I love this.

Perfect combination of simplicity and features.

Question: Would this benefit from a custom kernel? I was thinking something like francos.

Anyway thanks heaps. I think my search is over :)

Edit: Thought of something else.

The wifi strength seems very low. I can say with 100% certainty but im fairly sure I used to get full bars where Im sitting and now I get just the bottom 1 or 2. Is that possibly due to the ROM? I might nandroid and test tomorrow if it could be.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nascar Dog:
It's due to the crappy WiFi antenna in the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Yeah I just tried a few other ROMs with the same result. Guess I was imagining things :)

This really is a fantastic ROM, loading up three others makes it more apparent to me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Is it possible to make the notification area default to settings if there are no new notifications?

anyone geting update message from goo app?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TahrirSquare:
I did but I'm not sure it's the same Rom, Goo messes up sometimes.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dympy:
Loving the ROM, mostly because of the switchable Tablet mode. It simple and easy to understand and really what I need to test certain apps for their Tablet UI.

Keep u the good work (:

Dympy.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] armyboy11b:
My WiFi is great lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mrnovanova:
You're right i downloaded an installed it and it was basically Stock. The ui was basically the same the settings menu is the same minus the customization options. Weird. Good thing I had a back up.

Same here, is a bit odd but did teach me (further I suppose) that goo manager isn't always right :)

So far loving this ROM....what's up with the cm9 bootanime
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dympy:
I believe that's because it's based on an older CM10 build, where they didn't have the new bootanimation yet.

Dympy.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] armyboy11b:
Correct sir

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Every other rom I used I was always checking for new updates but not so much here.

This one is perfect I think, I am still excited to see what more could possibly be added / fixed because I cant imagine what it would be.

I am surprised everyone doesnt use this rom tbh.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mark1s:
That's because AOSP is really getting better than it was haha I feel the same way about this rom, tablet have been running for more than a week now and everything is still as smooth as it was on last reboot! Thank you OP for this awesome work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jcollier:
Anyone else have a problem with Google Now(search) force closing? I know it did work, and I am not sure why it is now doing this. I have tried clearing data, uninstalling, reinstalling, and it still happens. I am running build 5 with the latest Trinity kernel.

SOLVED
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smallsmx3:
Don't know if this is a known issue but I accidently deleted a user profile and the nexus went black and unresponsive. Finally after a few minutes of being broke it finally reboot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xboxexpert:
Attached is the CM10 one.

Put it in /System/Media and set permissions.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
Thats nice thanks. Looks good.

On a different note

is cdesai kernel the stock CM kernel that comes with this? I cant remember if i changed it or not now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] waj1234:
I really love this ROM. I did not like the nexus 7 out of the box.

Only thing that could be fixed for me is the way the icons are spaced on the home screen in landscape. There is a bigger gap of unused screen on the right side compared to the left. Its not a biggie but just noticeable.

Thanks for a great ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
That not really anything to do with the ROM. Just use a different launcher. Apex Beta is the best IMO
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Opinions differ.. ;)

I love Nova Launcher Prime
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nascar Dog:
I solved the icon spacing problem with Apex Launcher.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher

Combined with this ROM it is amazing.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smallsmx3:
Agreed.....but there have been so many changes to cm10 since the last build.....itchin like Chris rock in new jack city for an update:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jarayn:
What sort of stuff?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] waj1234:
Have apex now and its just Made it perfect.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] armyboy11b:
Lol u just found out abt apex?? :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] unclefrancis:
Apex is sweet. I just picked up the nexus 7 and really appreciate this rom. It is beautifully simple (I use tablet mode.) I gave pa a decent go but came back to sgt7, one can always screw with app dpi with any rooted rom anyhow.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] waj1234:
Used apex on my nexus s for ages. I just assumed it would not be needed on the nexus 7 but I suppose its not been designed as a landscape tablet. I think Google got it wrong making it like a big phone/e reader myself. Just love it now though and can't believe how fast it is.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Smallsmx3:
Well it is running stock JB which doesn't support landscape out of the box....sucks in my opinion but that's y I have a nexus device. To mod the crap out of it and squeeze every feature I can out of it. Couple tweaks and this thing is beastly....makes me wish my gnex was a quad core machine
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Love it

Running STG7 now for a week or 2. Before that I ran Paranoid, and before that a rooted stock.

With STG7 I finally have a very useable 7'tablet. Thank you!

I run it with Nova Prime, and sofar I don't have any issues apart from some curiosity about the support. As far as I can gather this rom is based on CM10, and hasn't been updated in a while. I don't need any ETA's or such, just a confirmation that the developers still support this rom and new versions will be released as it is nessecary.

Thank You
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cdesai:
Yea we're working on it, but i've been really busy IRL, haven't merged CM changes since about 4-5 days, and i didn't get time to do a new build.

Got exams coming, so again no time, but i'll see if i can merge and do a new build.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jwedda:
Exams do take priority.. better do good on them.. ;)

No need for a new build just to have a new build. Only when the changes merit such an effort and you have time to spare..

This build is extremely sexy but did you know that GooManager picks up Build 5 as CM10 and if you update thought it your ROM hands at the loading screen since its not really your rom its updating from. Very bad for idiots, like myself that one time, that don't take note of the rom name when downloading and updating from GooManager.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] z1gackly:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "information bar", but it's possible that "Settings->System->Notification Drawer" contains what you're looking for.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lynx2k50:
Thanks but I can't find it.

Please take note of the screenshot.

I want to have it in the settings menu, like WLAN near to the clock (can't take a screenshot).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xboxexpert:
Pretty good point. Its not in mine either.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] z1gackly:
That's interesting. I figured with this being a CM based ROM it would be in there. It's present in the CM10 nightlies and other variants like Paranoid Android.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pmvalente:
neither in mine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slimdizzy:
Thanks again Cdesai. Every tablet I own has a SGT7 build on it now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] FiveOhFour:
I have the procedure correct though? compare the generated text from the ROM file itself to the generated text of the other file, i have checked it in that method on both my tablet, my mac and a virtual machine and they all generated the same distinct yet not matching numbers. Oh well i yield to you on this one, guess i need a crash course on that as well...

On the topic at hand. THANKS. I love it, it is great man i really love having the single nav/notification bar and having it at its original DPI is just great, everything was a little to small for my liking at 160, couldnt appreciate any of the interface or icons at that size. Very smooth so far, ill put it through its paces but this is the first breather ive really taken feeling safe to customize and make the tablet really my own because i love the starting point, found my ROM for the time being. :D Im sure it means nothing but thought i'd share the screenshot just in case it tells you something, I'm not a dev so Ill leave you to decide if it has any use or not, just a litle anomaly that occurred twice but went away after refreshing.

This is great work, I really appreciate this.

The only thing is that the recent apps thumbnails become huge with the combined bar. But everything else is amazing. I expect this to get better and better as CM10 improves.

So good, making my nexus 7 the killer decide I knew it would be when I bought it.

175 dpi is where the nexus switches to tablet mode. I don't see any issues with this. Its only a hair smaller then stock. I think its perfect actually and u can always enlarge the text in settings.
