If you tap where the buttons should be does anything happen? Also I don't believe its a feature but you might want to check somewhere in settings and then system if its going to be anywhere it will be in there I do know about some of the buttons dissapearing but not them all I have fixed this issue in 3.7.3 and it should be ready for testing by tonight
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I will have a look into this and see what I can find out but just a thought and I could be wrong but wouldn't compressing the sdcard powers read and write speeds and also slow things down like games that depend on the sdcard for all their content?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Omega Kaos , what did you find out about the lock screen shortcuts? Is it a CM10 issue?

side note: Another issue/bug I found is that when you got to homescreen previews (where you can see all things open on all screens) It only shows the widgets/icons that are on the active screen. I am using APEX launcher.. and it may be an issue/bug with that.

First rom I chose to install on my Nexus 7 and boy am I impressed! Keep up the great work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mlaws90:
I did wipe everything, except system because the zip does that. I checked the MD5, they match so I'm going to try again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
No I don't believe it was I tried putting an app on an it seemed to work fine probably a daft question but did you click save in the top right

Let me know who it goes and I would be grateful if you could provide a logcat forme
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Believe it or not... No I did not even see the save button... I did now and it sorta worked.. I can't get e-mail shortcut to save. but others have saved... I'll keep trying.. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shahbaz5588:
while pressing the multi-task button i happen to be seeing doubles of the apps... not always but sometimes... i did a fresh install... recently rooted...

other than this so far this is the only rom i tried and it has everything i need... works smooth... thanks!!

I am using Nova Prime. Did a Power Off and restarted and it did not fix it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
The Apex version is old. It's v1.3.0 beta 2, and the latest is beta 6.

Try going to Settings/System/Navigation bar, and doing reset. If that doesn't work, edit the bar and then lock it again - this worked for me.

Yeah, the storage in the nexus is pretty slow as it is, with an average 15MBps read and write. Adding compression on top of that is only going to make things slower, and even with the tegra 3 it will still be noticeably slower.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akarol:
Already tried messing with the Navigation Bar settings under System to no avail. Whatever I do, the Recent Apps and Menu buttons won't show up. They work as they should, but there are no visible buttons there.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

I just did a Reboot and now NO BUTTONS are showing in the Navigation Bar at all. Nothing. I can still get the device to perform the action by hitting on the right area, but no buttons are shown at all. So frustrating... :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
OK I shall look into this I know this issue was in 3.7.1 I am currently testing 3.7.3 and at the minute I have had no signs of this and I had the same issue in 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 so in this version I believe I have fixed that
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Apex is updated in the new version and I believe this issue is fixed in the one I'm testing at the moment
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Quick ? is Google Earth FCing get fixed in 3.7.3? I remember seeing someone mention it earlier but I don't remember seeing a fix. Did I miss something?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akarol:
I use Nova Prime though. =/ is Apex any better? I paid for Prime so I stuck with it for a while.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Google earth FCing gets fixed in 3.7.3 the issue was caused by the lib file I don't know why but I removed earth w/ titanium backup and reinstalled from play store and it worked fine so just extracted the new lib from the apk placed it in the lib folder and I've had no FC's since

For me Apex, nova, holo are pretty much the same except they all have their tiny little differences but nothing major between them I could be wrong but I think they are all based on launcher2 with their own tweaks like opaque app drawers and customizable app tabs

Only reason I use Apex is I wanted a change from AWD and decided to go with apex as it was about 1 month old at e time and I just needed a change and I've never looked back there's a free and pro version but its worth checking out for free
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nexus7owner:
Idk if this is a common issue but my home/back/recent app bottoms on screen keep disappearing and don't come back even if I reboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
yes this is a common issue but it will be resolved in the next version just running final tests
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nexus7owner:
OK thanks keep up the good work other then that issue its an amazing rom
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vincepg13:
Only problem I'm having is the keys on the navigation bar in landscape aren't in the right place. Using stock hybrid ui
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rebel1699:
This rom is no joke. Tried almost every rom here, and this one surapsses them all. Awesome job! If there were one thing i would like to see added, it would be the "kill all" option in recents screen. Other than that, its perfection.

Wow......... this is my new favorite hands down!!! GREAATT job here Kaos!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] blakeatl:
When upgrading this rom, do you just wipe dalvik and cache or a full wipe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
What kernel your using... best I got was 6820 on quadrant.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Oh BTW wanted to let you know about this bug I found.. but I think its an APEX bug.. hopefully the update will fix it..

goto Apex Settings, HomeScreen settings, Manage Screens,

and it should come up to the home screens were you can add edit delete reorder them... but what it does it goes to the app drawer... and then the home screen won't come up untill you restart Apex...

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
It is fixed in beta 6 which will be in the next version

All I need to do now is finish the iwnn time and it will be ready I remember a post saying that some XML files had to be edited to finish it off just trying to find the files and all will be good :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] CyberCitizen:
Can't wait for OnSkreen cornerstone. Any ETA?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Unfortunatly it will be the release after next this release V3.7.3 is just bug fixes and touch ups but after this Cornerstone and some ports from SGT's settings menu will be included and possibly wifi monitor
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
I don't use your rom only because firefox keep crashing almost every time I use it.

I found a way to reproduce the bug/problem. Enter firefox, type "geekbench" in the url bar, enter the first website.

It'll crash.

Please find a solution for this problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bdubs4200:
Try chrome, xscope, or opera!?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I will have a look at this issue and have you downloaded the latest update for firefox?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
HTC's One X+ looks a little slow :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Hasn't the One X+'s only real improvement the CPU and is the top score from the One X or the Nexus 7

Also imo if they're going to improve a device surely they can do better than just the CPU and screen size
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
From my Nexus 7 running Kaos Droid :). Would be a bit odd to post a One X benchmark here lol.

X+ has a faster cpu, ram and a bigger battery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
True but i'm sure there will be a dev out there to improve the benchmarks on it and for the CPU is it a new one or the same as the Nexus 7 but just OC'd
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akarol:
The buttons in the Nav Bar came back after a reboot. However, they're shifted when in landscape mode. On top of that, the buttons don't work properly in landscape. The home is back, the recent apps is home, and to the right is recent apps. Almost as if the active spot is intact and the buttons have shifted. Btw, I'm in the latest Nova Prime Beta 1.3.

Pulling down the notification drawer should fix that.

I've found a fix for the nav bar problems! Wipe the data for SystemUI using titanium backup :D.

I have being testing 3.7.3 for a while now, and so far this issues haven't occurred however i had the same issue when running 3.7.2

Good to know. Can't wait?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
Of course, the latest one.

I tried your rom first when I rooted my device. After this bug happend I moved to codename android 3.5.0 which works fine with firefox, But the bug return with the new version, 3.6.0.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hardbreed:
Using your ROM awhile now and its great so far'im just wondering what's the best kernel for battery life as I've used stock all along.

Also a little bug I notice with the sound/mute button in the notification bar, If you select silent it appears to stay there stuck unless you reboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Hi Kaos,

Have installed your 3.7.2 without UI mode and tried to use the new "Navigation Bar" features.

Unfortunately they don't seem to work. There seems to be no refresh on the Navigation Bar when you add/remove/modify the buttons.

Also, in landscape mode, the Nav Buttons are too far over to the left even though the "clicks" register in the correct place!!

I'm going to reinstall with the standard sized NavBar to see if this fixes the issue.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noodles2k:
Use titanium backup to wipe the data for SystemUI.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akarol:
If you would have read literally a couple of posts over, you'd realize that this has been discussed and addressed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Do you mean that the bug has come back in version 3.6.0 on both ROMs or just mine if it is both i can edit the apk and change the version number so the update doesn't appear

If you worried about battery life when using the device i would use something like SetCPU and create a few profiles, however if its battery life when the device is locked i.e still on but on black screen i wouldn't worry about that in the new version i added a few tweaks that everyone will like unless they use something like SetCPU (conflicts) when the new version is released i will make a post describing what i have done and how it works :)

EDIT: also for the sound go into settings->system->Notification Drawer-> Widget Buttons -> Sound modes and tick "silent" and "sound"

this will fix your issue w/o a restart
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
I installed your 3.6.1 version of your rom. All worked good except firefox which just closes every minute.

Then I moved to codename android version 3.5.0 where firefox works fine without force closes.

But the new updated codename android 3.6.0 has the same force closes as your rom.

I tried 3.7.2 of your rom also and still force close every minute.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Also i am aware that there is an updated Apex launcher (out of beta)version 3.6.0 on the market however if you update it will FC, this is not a ROM issue this is related to APEX, i viewed the crash report and it states that there is an issue on line 95 in com.anddoes.launcher/.Launcher

As a result of this i have edited the beta apk and changed the version number
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I could be wrong but i think its an issue with firefox and firefox beta, would you prefer if i edited the version number in the firefox.apk

EDIT: I cannot edit the version number as my apktool.jar and aapt will not compile the apk (latest version as well)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
I didn't understand how edit the version number in the apk could help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Literally the first time I haven't read the 10 pages of the thread that I'd missed and it answers a question to a problem I've been having for ages, typical.

And, just going back, I can't see an answer to my specific problem, yours was about the status bar mine the nav bar!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
i could be wrong but editing the version number in the apk would tell the play store that its the latest version, also firefox is working in the 3.7.3 however when you update firefox it doesn't work
[Nexus 7 Android Development] StrangerWeather:
Sorry if you answered this before, but do you have an idea when the update will be ready ? Many thanks ! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Nav Bar is fixed in 3.7.3, I don't know why but i test the ROM, i never have the nav bar issue, however when i release it and someone posts they have an issue with it 3 days later i get that issue, I believe it was caused by some edited xml files so i replaced the modified xml files with the originals and just changed the nav bar size and so far i have had no issues

About 30 minutes if that :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Now that they're working it's great, however (and this is probably a CM issue) the buttons are reversed compared to in portrait mode.

That is "back" is on the far right and "recent apps" is on the left when in landscape and vice-versa in portrait!!

Also isn't it bizarre, with Tablet UI mode installed you get different Hardware Key options and they are the same options that my HOS has with CM10!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
It might be that the MOD that is compiled for Tablet UI on the nexus is just slightly coded differently as the only thing i do is edit the services.jar in the tablet UI, so it's supercharged if AOSP/CM would allow me to overlay java files like it does xml files this would not be the case and a lot more features would come a lot quicker :)

CPU SLEEP​

Ok so in Kaos Droid 3.7.3 I added a new feature as i posted a few pages back and in the changelog. Now if you use anything like SetCPU which can enable profiles(or anything else similar) you will want to delete this file

Basically what this file does it chang some settings when the screen goes off or comes on

Here's what it does and in this order:

Notes:

The file system cache pressure default is 100 which means the kernel will only use RAM

I have greatly lowered how often the kernel writes to disk when the screen is off to save meaningless writes and battery life

The idea of this script it to allow the system to run and the default CPU values / governor when the screen is on and to lower the CPU values and change the governor to a more energy saving one when the screen is off.

This should allow for a bigger battery life when the device is doing "nothing"

The rest of the script i.e. cache pressure and how often the kernel writes to disk is to increase both performance and battery life, when the screen is off the kernel will bearly write to disk, and when the screen is on it will right to disk slightly more than the standard value increasing peformance and memory management.

As a result of how often the kernel writes to disk on screen off mode, as you can imagine the RAM will fill up more and quicker than normal, so to combat this situation i wrote another script that is scheduled by cron, all the script does is drops the file system cache every hour, preventing from random reboots and system crashes.

Now i originally planned for the file system cache to get dropped before screen on and after screen off however this prevented booting and caused some issues, this is why the second script was created and a scheduled basis.

CRON​

Ok so I don't know that much about cron except I use it in Kaos Droid V3.7.3 and up, but here is what i know

Cron is apart of busybox but needs to be enabled (easiest way is a script) I have already done this via an init.d script so it is already enabled and running on V3.7.3 and up.

You can tell cron where to look for scripts to run in Kaos Droid this location is /data/cron/ any script you place in this folder cron will run, however it is not like most scripting i.e. init.d scripts get called on boot, they run and then they end. With cron you can create a script to run how often and whenever you like without having to do it manually(schedules).

For example: this script will backup my SD Card contents once a week at midnight on Sunday to my home ftp server (comments are in blue)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
You didn't understand. Firefox never worked with your rom. Only with codename android rom version 3.5.0.

I hope you could fix it then I could move to your rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Ah i see, I have got firefox working on the ROM as it was an issue with my lib files, so i had it installed to /data instead of /system, which works until you update the it, then it doesn't work again, unfortunately at the minute i cannot find the cause of the problem, However the beta version works fine its just not the version that iv'e included in V3.7.3
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jazza2246:
Hi great rom, I just updated the latest version and not sure if its a one off but I turned off the lock screen and it made a crackling noise, then it rebooted and made an even louder crackling noise. Could this be related with anything to do with the new update?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akarol:
Downloading now. Kaos, do you have a Kernel that you prefer for your ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
I used to use Motley kernel as its based on Linaro much better for peformance and bug fixes security holes etc etc, however because of the boot time and them amount of time i spend flashing and testing i use faux ultimate as its quicker but on a day to day basis and if i only had to flash when an update was released it would be Motley's Kernel last one in the list at user choice screen when flashing can't remember the full details but i think it says CPU @ 1.6GHz & GPU @ 512MHz could be 484MHz (either way its the one with the highest numbers on it lol)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
The app itself work. But as soon as you enter few websites it crashes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nexus7owner:
Clemsyn's elite kernel is the best for performance works awesome with this ROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Flukester69:
I use Firefox predominantly on my PC's but as far as my Nexus devices, not a chance. The browser sucks. It's the worst rated browser on Android. Chrome, Opera and Dolphin and even the stock browser are the best there is.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] StrangerWeather:
Loving the new 3.7.3. Esp. glad to have Apex back!:good:

Xscope on my N7 and chrome on my gnex.... I'm kinda shocked people choose firecox on mobile devices lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drms12:
For me it awesome browser, And the FIREFOX SYNC is one of the best things available for android.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Yes, thats true so when i tested it on 3.7.3 i typed in the address bar at the to "geekbench" and clicked on the first link an it opened the pad as before it did not, now there is no point in flashing to try it and flash back to another ROM, but i'm sure somebody here can verify that it works on the latest firefox beta and not on firefox, i definatly agree that there is an issue with the stable version of firefox and this ROM but the beta seems to work fine for me

I will have to have a look at this one i remember stumbling across this before just never flashed it as the dev really pushes the limits of the device and i can't afford another one if this one breaks, But saying that i am curious so i might flash it anyways and see what happens, who knows?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Note on Apex if you update it will FC i have tried it, and tried it again in a different way on this rom and the updated just FC's all the time which is a shame that i can't updated to a more stable release

I have got to admit before Chrome came along Firefox was my main browser but Chrome came and had the sync feature so i changed, however the new version of Firefox does look very nice imo
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Ok most of them are included OTA Updates thread consists of 3 features Tablet UI, 3G Dongle and Call support, This ROM already has Tablet UI and call support it also has the 720p video and the lag fix as well as sony bravia engine also in addition to the last thread the rom also includes 90% of those tweaks excluding the applications

However i can have a look into the 3G Dongle support adding the other tweaks to the rom and let me know if you would like me to include the extra applications

Also the music.apk is that google music?

EDIT: i also noticaed that the first thread also includes a Supercharges services.jar and pdroid, the services .jar in this rom is also supercharged both in normal ui and tablet ui
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
Hey Kaos,

I know I'm the douche that always asks this, but I love the lowered nav bar to death rather than the normal sized one. Is 3.7.3 lowered? I remember there being issues with it before. Just have to make sure before I update ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] l0rdraiden:
And what about OTA updates To avoid flashing the entire ROM each time?

Is this feasible?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
Yes its still lowered and so far i have had no issues with the nav bar

I tried looking for that in the thread but could not find it, I have also thought about OTA updates however atm i haven't looked into how i can implement this into the ROM, and i have got to say it would be alot easier, what i was originally looking at was the way google pushes them to the device, that would be nice.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
apex hiding dock is default in the app its self personally i hate it, haven't tried Google now will look into that and i cant seem to find what is causing all this issues with the boot the only thing i can think of is the format of /cache in the updater script
[Nexus 7 Android Development] CyberCitizen:
Is the stock launcher working yet?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Omega Kaos:
yes if you redownload the rom however i have come accross some issue so just reflashing to see if i get them again
