No rush man. Do i need to have a updater binary in my zip? My zips that I made for my phone all work so idk what the deal is. Pretty much the only code in the script is to copy the files. Oh well few logcats coming To help you out.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
yeah. you need and update binary just use one from any rom then it should work
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
If I wanted to flash another kernel, would I need to reflash the entire rom or would it be okay to just flash over another kernel? I only ask because Faux's doesnt keep my frequency cap after I turn the screen off. Was planning on going to motley's.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] leelemon87:
Already tried...b@start thing just doesn't want to work! There's gotta be something it doesn't like somewhere
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ajamils:
Just flashed the ROM (with Trinity kernel) and on first reboot, got all black screen after Google setup. Restarted and now stuck at boot screen. Cannot even go to recovery. Just stuck at Google screen.

Any suggestion?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Just connect USB able to computer, hold down volume+,volume- and power to get into boot loader and from there get into recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ajamils:
Thank you. Flashed it again with Motley Kernel and everything is working. Now how do I overclock it :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
I use System Tuner, it's also good for uv. SetCPU should also be fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
ok so i fond out the issues with the boot loop its the permissions in my updater script, issue is i dont know which one(s)

EDIT: OK so it turns out it wasent the permissions, it was in fact something to do with this file:

framework-res.apk

Just trying to find out whats wrong
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
Did you accidentally sign it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
No, all i did when i edited it was

java -jar apktool.jar d frameworks-res.apk

edited the files

java -jar apktool.jar b framweork-res framework-res1.apk

copied to /system and renamed to framework-res.apk

EDIT: turns out what i had to do after compiling was extract resources.arsc and place in original framework-res.apk for this to work and this is what was making the bootloop issues
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
afaik framework-res.apk is a zip file. Just zip it and then change the extension.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JaZart:
No theme chooser?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Nope
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
it is but if you just unzip and zip it you cant edit the resources in the vales folder which is where most of the changes have been made. Good news is after i replaced the file everything works fine just uploading new version now about 10-12 mins left :)

Not yet there isn't it will come in the future hopefully next update, as at the moment just working on transitions and extra setting items in the settings
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Gosh, Barnsley must be a hive of excitement if you're up at 0730 in the morning working on a ROM!!

And it's been 10-12 minutes since your last update!! Where is it? Changelog? Why haven't you changed the thread title!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

BTW is this still based on JRO03D or are you using the newest base (3L?)?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
It's not that exciting trust me, I had a lot of issues with the ROM so i stayed up fixing it and its fianlly done :)

Everythings updated, except the thread title will see to that now, and its still based on JRO03D as i dont have a x64 bit PC to compile Androidn on :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
You're dedication to your art will see you rewarded, one day, maybe :silly:

I notice in the changelog you have

Is that Titanium Backup or something else??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Thank you very kindly for the donation its appreciated

And yes it meant Titanium Backup and ROM Manager i will ammend for ease :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Thankyou, downloading now, will install as soon as it comes down.

BTW is it me or is rapidshare a contradiction in terms??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
With the download speed yes, upload however is quite quick about 30 mins

It would be quicker through ROM Manager if you have it installed
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
can you not just use a 3L ROM?

BTW faux 007u is out at http://faux.androidro.ms
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I'm not sure to be honest i can have a go it wont hurt :)

EDIT: just backing up the partition with all the files on then i will give it a try
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
Oh sweet. Im glad that you fixed the TB. TB is a "must have" app, on android :) Gonna update now. Thnx a lot ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Harry GT-S5830:
Both mirrors are very slow :'(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
I can provide a torrent mirror, if its ok with kaos :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Harry GT-S5830:
Would be great if you can
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
That's absolutely fine I will post to download section when your ready
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
Done :)

Here is the torrent link :)

Its on a 1gbit connection.

http://mintorrent.se/aXEgha/Kaos_Droid_V3_4_zip

Njoy! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Many thanks added to the downloads section also gave a mention in the special thanks section :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nate51:
@Omega Kaos shoot man, this is your first custom ROM? crap, it's really good. I just flashed it and have to say I am a huge fan of the UI layout. I liked the stock JB UI but I prefer this one for my taste.

Only recommendation I would say is for the post you should put screen shots in. But for the ROM the only things I am not a fan of is all the pre installed Google apps I cannot uninstall like Gmail, Currents, Earth and such. And the way the layout gets messed up when you turn it 90 degrees but every ROM seems to have that problem/issue.

Haven't used it long but if I see any bugs I will make sure to search then post if I find no results.

Great job!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Just loaded the 3.4 on top of 3.3, now it no longer boots up. Sits at the Google screen with lock on it. Won't do anything else.

** Finally able to get into recovery but its doing some strange errors now.. We'll see what happens with another try

** Clean install appears to do same thing, sit at the Google screen. Using the Motely kernel I was using before

Was able to get it to boot up using stock kernel, I see no weather stuff for the lock screen at all anywhere in the settings?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Thanks, I will make gapps as a flashable option in aroma in the next version, and will have a look at the rotation for the launcher and see what I can do
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I'll be honest I spent 4 hours this morning flashing from previous ROMs other ROMs and from full wipe and had no issues with it. I will have a look into it and see if I can find anything that could be causing the issue
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Stock and Trinity kernels worked fine. I'm going to try the Motley again and see what happens

** Motley kernel doing same thing again, won't boot from the Google screen at all just sits there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
I came from 3.3 to 3.4 and did a full whipe. And i use the same motley kernal. It all went smooth under and after the flash. Check the md5 and be sure it match :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Matched perfect.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] simple23227:
Hey kaos, great Rom u have here.

I just wonder if you are planning on building from the new 3L source or maybe embedding linaro into this build??

Not like a request or demand or anything like that, its just that would be totally sick. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
you could just install with a different kernel and then flash motleys kernel afterwards.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Yea I just moved over to the Trinity kernel, no biggie to me. Just reporting what happened on my device when trying to install that kernel through the installer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
what install options did you choose originally? It could be that something conflicts with motley.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
weather widgets, apex launcher and chrome. that's it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
It could be something to do with not having stock launcher.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Maybe, I'm done trying to figure it out. I never choose the stock launcher and never had before either. No biggie if it works for everyone else then I'm not going to worry about it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I don't think it has anything to do with the launcher, cause if I'm correct the layout he chose to use was the default one.

As its what selection that I use and I've had no issues that I noticed.

Can I check that you haven't flashed anything before booting that could cause an issue, originally the issues form the previous versions were caused by framework-res.apk which prevented from booting correctly from a full wipe
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
The only thing I had running before is the v3.3 build. I loaded the v3.4 on top and it hung, then did a complete wipe and loaded the v3.4 and it hung. Then I completely deleted the SDCard and loaded v3.4 and same thing. Then I reload with stock, trinity over the top and no issue's at all.

Also, where are the weather widgets hiding for the lockscreen? I haven't found them yet. Thanks!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Well I'm not sure why your having the issues but will have a look into them

And for the widgets on the lock screen I haven't looked into on how to add the, to the lock screen yet

How ever they all should show in the widget section of the app drawer, will have a look into how to add them to the lock screen I'm pretty sure it can't be that hard :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cristiano_7:
Just had a problem its stuck on google );
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I would like to build the from the new source but I don't have a 64 bit PC

And not to sound stupid or anything but what is linaro exactly
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Is this from a full wipe or just over the top
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cristiano_7:
Full wipe i dwn loaded from rom manager and i have already used the last rom so i know how to install roms and back up but idk what went wrong it just stayed on google and i dnt know how to enter cwm recocery) :
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Plug in the power and Hold the VOL DN and the POWER Button, keep holding it until you get into fastboot and then from there you can choose recovery mode and restore the backup

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

I apologize, I should have made myself more clear on the weather icons, I meant to add them to the lockscreen.. sorry..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cristiano_7:
Thats exactly what i did and it stays on google i dnt know why ive been in cwm recocery many times and its not letting me go in it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dpdurst:
Hmm strange, I know it took mine a while to finally get into fastboot mode earlier when I go into that state. Try hitting power to shutoff and then hold both down and see what happens

** does device manager see the Nexus. If so add the drivers and then (if you have SDK/ADB installed) adb reboot recovery and see if that works
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cristiano_7:
Havent tryed on pc let me give it a shot

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Got it working brah thanks for the tips
[Nexus 7 Android Development] scarygood536:
No problems yet. Best build yet. Bluetooth and drop box are working thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] simple23227:
hey kaos,

Not sure if I can explain well, but linaro is like a new source base to optimize open-source support for ARM v7A architecture, provides better performance and stability. You can watch about its performance here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrQRYmYip6Q

Also, aaronpoweruser has made a linaro optimized custom ROM for the nexus 7 found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791410

you might wanna talk to him or maybe you guys can even team up. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
YUUSSS, Omega Kaos you are awesome. Thanks for lowering the height of the navbar! Will be flashing tomorrow :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
Kaos i got a small problem, with one of my fav apps.

When i open nvision and want to read a new story, it keeps FC.

Do you have a solution for that? :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
OK I downloaded nvision from play store and I haven't had any issues with it I can navigate on it fine and it doesn't FC when I go to read a story.

To be honest only thing I can think of is wiping cache and data for that app and see if you still have the issues, let me know if you still get issues, if you do let me know which options you chose on flashing and I will try that as well
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Thanks a lot will have a look into this and see what I can do
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
Didnt help :)

I use the motley kernal and stock launcher and its without the tab ui enabled.

Can you plz check it, with these settings?

If it still works with you. I have to reflash my rom ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
OK give me a few mins to flash and I will report back here

EDIT sp I flashed twice one with stock launcher and the other with apex the outcome was the same which means its with android.policy.jar or services.jar from the non tablet ui, I'll have a look into these and find out why it is causing this issue

Can I also confirm that the app works fine on stock / other custom ROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
I had no problem, when i used the stock rom.

Thanks for the bug test m8 :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Not a problem, just looking into the issue now :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bratfink:
Tried flashing the rom twice and both times stuck in boot. My options where stock launcher, the top choice (forgotten) + titanium + flash, stock kernel, and ticked to remove tablet ui. Can someone else try this combo and see if they can boot?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I tried that combo when I was originally testing however what seems to work is just holding the power button to restart the devise and it should boot to the boot animation in about 1 minute
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bratfink:
Thanks for the response, not sure why but i booted to recovery then back out again and it work. Loving the rom! Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eff0rtless:
thank you OP for the great rom. Finally decided to make the jump to add something besides stock.

I'm looking to see how I can access the true tablet UI. I remember it being one of the options during install with aroma. I selected it but I'm not seeing any option for it? My n7 still looks the same =x

do i need to reflash? or download lcd density to change it on my own?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
That's the problem, you shouldn't have selected it, that option page is for removal of the Tablet UI *NOT* adding it!!!

Suggest you re-flash, would do a clean install too, I tried installing the tablet UI without doing a wipe and ran into all sorts of FCs..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eff0rtless:
haha whoops! I guess i was in a rush to install and missed reading it correctly. thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] biggiephat:
Are my icons supposed to be huge on the notification bar? They just look so out of focus on the tablet ui
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
No there not suppose to be that large I just missed something while making the navbar smaller this will Be fixed in the next version
[Nexus 7 Android Development] morell2:
please link for stock kernel
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
its included in the ROM just select it upon installing if you would still like the link let me know
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wecramer:
Has anyone tried the new Dropbox update to see if it fixes the problems with force closing on this ROM? Here is a link to an article about it:

http://www.androidauthority.com/dropbox-for-android-ui-gets-upgrade-on-nexus-7-108055/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
IT WORKS, i can now use dropbox with tablet ui installed will be included in next rom as an extra :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wecramer:
SWEEEET! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] morell2:
When i downloaded the kaos dorid 1.1 to try is horrbible.

now i say for me try a more time .and the rom 3.4 is fanstic thanks you very much!!!!

how can i donate for you?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Thanks i'm glad you came back to try 3.4, I know in previous versions there was alot of issues, however in the short time to took me to get to ver 3.4 i have learnt alot which is why this is more stable and actually works :)

To donate there is a link in my sig and thankyou again
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gnice18:
Well I really like what you have going on here. Not getting Dropbox to work yet. Also had some problems adding Google Talk and Text to Speech with the Removed Apps zip, after install I get stuck in a bootloop. this has all the features I'm looking for beside custom lock screen shortcuts.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] antoniolopez90:
bugs found!?

Hi I had 3.2 it was great but every once in a while I would hear my speakers crackle for a split second for no apparent reason. I upgraded to 3.4 in hopes of fixing this but it was still there..I think I will go to stock to ensure its not hardware.

Also I have a friendly request ... I think this rom is awesome but I would love to see version without any tablet ui stuff at all. I prefer to go to

160dpi to get proper tablet hi. I think just selecting to remove it still changes the code than of it was never there. Am I correct? I noticed somethings say they are no longer supported/available in the play store like the new splashtop 2 HD app or nova 3.

Another thing (lol I wanted to post a few days ago I guess I shouldn't wait to post all at once...) I use apex launcher only to get rid of the margins and customize row column counts. Could you modify the stock launcher to atleast get rid of margins?

This is just some of the thoughts I had while using your great rom! I hope it is not taken as anything other than constructive and appreciative :) particularly the bug that may be hw issue actually lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I will have a look into the removed apps zip but for the bootloop a reboot usually fixes it for me you might want to try that

The custom lockscreen shortcuts are coming soon anything particular you would like me to add

As for Dropbox a couple of posts back there is a link for a beta version that one will work :)

Ok I will have a look at the tablet ui if you choose the option to remove it it pits the ui back to stock

I haven't thought about the dpi changing but I will see what I can do

Will also remove the margins from stock launcher as well

And if the bug you have noticed is not a hw issue let me know and I will look into that too, but I can't say I've noticed it, will try with some music

And thank you both for the ideas and feedback its appreciated
[Nexus 7 Android Development] veeman:
Omega, I think it would be better if you replaced the stock launcher with the Launcher2.apk from the CM10 rom. I pulled the apk from the sgt7 based rom and it works fine. It has options to customize the launcher however you want when you go into the App drawer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
i will have a look at that one but at the mintue i am trying to find out where everthing is in the aosp source as i managed to get hold of a 64-bit pc for a couple of weeks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kazireh:
My notification icons look all bunched up since 3.4

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nate51:
Yeah to avoid that you should use the Tablet UI for now. I think the OP said he will look into it as it's been mentioned quite a few times.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
I'm just checking in to see which kernel most of you are using with this rom. I'm using motley but I have a bit of graphic stuttering which is driving me nuts, so I think I'm gonna ditch for another. The last time I tried Faux's it wouldnt keep my max/min clock settings after the screen was turned off, BUT no graphics stuttering. I haven't tried trinity yet...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nate51:
With this ROM I have tried it with stock and motley's kernels. Zero problems on both times. Is it during a process or some sort, or just on a stable home screen?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Trinity always works the best for me, whatever ROM I'm on...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
On the home screen I get a little bit of judder. On games like Dragon, Fly! it judders like mad. Basically unplayable for me (I'm picky though). I'll be trying trinity just for the heck of it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I am having a bit of judder and lag with motley kernel the lag only occurs after restart or boot up i have to wait 2-3 minutes for the lag to dissapear and this is just opening the app drawer and going through app list
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
I agree with you there. My home screen judder is minimal after its booted. I've had my N7 all day though and Dragon, Fly! still judders like mad. I'm pretty sure its just motley's. I had the same issue when I was on glazed. I dont remember faux's juddering at all. The inability for it to remember clocks after a screen off was a deal breaker though. The N7 really doesn't need to be oc'ed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
So i have finally compiled JRO03L and every thing seems to work just making the changes like apm and tablet ui support which might i add is quite a task as i'm use to editing smali files not java files so with any look the next update should be within a few days with a new base and a few edits once that is done I will look into adding linaro, onskreen and other previous requests like gesture support and extra options in the settings menu

If anyone has any resources or knows anything about compiling aosp e.g adding prebuild apks and lib files also binaries as well as adding linaro into aosp please let me know it would be appriciated
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Very true it doesnt but OC will help when onskreen is added which is basically multi window support i havent checked but motley might have updated kernel on his thread i havent checked due to trying to work with aosp
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
Sorry for posting so much right now. I just flashed up to V3.4, it seems like trinity is even worse than motley for me. Maybe its just that game? I don't know. It glassy smooth on stock so I feel like that's not true. Oh well, its not a deal breaker anywhere else. Awesome ROM btw, keep up the excellent work! I hope I can join in the ROM building community someday.

Edit: Tried Faux's again, still has the screen off issues but is smooth as glass. Such a shame...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nate51:
Curious question, will this be a base Android ROM or will it have pre installed apps? Like Gmail, Currents, Google Earth, Google Play Movies, GP Books etc?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
It will be a base android ROM using Aroma Installer with the option to flash gapps, like books, gmail, etc

Everything will be solely aosp with ball the tweaks, optimisations and customisations from previous versions

Basically what I'm trying to say the only thing changing on a large-scale basis, if you will is, it will be revised to JRO03L with optional gapps and a few additions to V3.4
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Arceon:
It's perfect on mine (3.4 w/Trinity). You've not changed the CPU governor by any chance have you? I know mine stutters like a bugger if I set it to powersave.
