My experience so far,

It runs a little less stable than on nexus, fine though.

I get a weird half a second flicker once every hour or so,

Sometimes pulling up the notificationtray redraws the whole screen for a sec.

No real lag, at least no more than android stock. Only a couple of hours of testing. I tested 4.1, 4.1.1, cm10, pa cm stock kernel, pa trinity. Im staying on trinity, its nice and fluid.

I think the nex7 suffers from hardware driver issues, i have the same cm10 code running on many devices and none produce that flicker or redraw. Or its an device overlay on cm's side, unlikely, though.

I will make better hybrid configs next build, some of it is quite off.

And a question aswell,

I have a terrible gamma, the screen is way too bright. Is there an app that can solve that? Right now its incapable of displaying black and the whites are scorching and kinda washed out.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] noobandriod:
^ It would be nice if someone could make a saturation adjust app. Similar to PicsArt photo color saturation adjustment except it couple be used to apply throughout the system. This is to compensate for the N7's screen lack of vibrancy. Most if, not all the so called screen adjustment apps on the market just adds a filter to the screen and does not truly do anything to the saturation. It's kind of sad when my 8 year old TN LCD monitor have better color than my N7.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] troffers:
Not sure if it's exactly what you want but I use screen filter - it basically lowers the brightness which is especially useful at night.

Edit: Take a look at Voodoo Screen Tuner (supercurio) in the play store - might be worth a shot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metallice:
No it doesn't. It just draws a transparent black image over everything. Backlight is just as strong. Blacks are just as black.

Rootdim is an example of an app that will actually lower the backlight.

best screen gamma fix for nexus 7...

Tegra Prism Toggle

Search google play store for it...

and im sure it will help..as it is a MUST have app for my nexus 7 :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metallice:
Dear god no. Please just use an init.d script or toggle it yourself. I hate the fact that someone is charging for this and people out there are buying. I found that sysfs entry a while ago and shared it here and I hate that someone is trying and succeeding at making money off of it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lightninbug:
Thanks but I did not buy...I got it from a friend, whos cousin sent it to him through e-mail ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CasualStarlord:
It's a fix that someone made convenient for people who are not as techy, good on him he is an entrepreneur, will I buy it? no, will you buy it? no, but some people are finding it useful obviously. People don't care about init.d scripts, and it's less than $1

I am getting the occasional gapps process crashing seemingly when using unrelated apps like quassel and some games, doesnt seem relevent to what I am doing at the time, cleared cache and dalvik and reflashed gapps when I upgraded the rom to the latest version.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zimphishmonger:
A lot of color issues you described are fixed when you disable the screen optimizations [not official term, forgot what the feature was called] (same thing the prism Tegra app does). It does a horrible job at handling colors and brightness and disabling does help quite a bit.

Re adjusting colors, this is not a amoled or samoled screen, so supercurios app will do nothing, as its made for samoled based devices. Also, most the color tweaks on the Galaxy Nexus will not work due to the same reason.

I personally don't have a problem w the n7 display, no where as near as "beige" as the gnex. Want a test? use trinity for gnex for a few days as flash any other kernel (no color tweaks ofc). You immediately forget about any problems w the m7 display color wise (it does ghost but can't fix that)

I just clean installed 2.13 and am having these same issues. Was on stock ROM before with same trinity kernel without issue. Seems like some bug in CM10.

I searched through this thread and was unable to find a solution to this problem.

Sometimes when I wake my device, my WiFi doesn't work. I try to toggle it in the notification with no result. I went into settings and toggled it there, still nothing. Had to reboot for it to work.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Screen flicker:

1. If it flickers only in chrome (black screen for half a second):

Seems to be a Chrome bug. Settings->Apps->Close Chrome->Launch Chrome. Fixed.

2. If it flickers with low brightness(no black screen) :

Had that, tried different Roms, all had it. Got a replacement device -> fixed.

I have to say that the display on the new device has warmer colors, too.

So it is a totally different display.

Maybe Offtopic:

1st device C80...: Faulty Display, Screen Lift.

2nd device C70...: Better Display, no Screen lift.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
any of you tried holo launcher HD? im kind of blown away, this one does it all. its a real JB launcher unless apex/nova (both are ICS launchers with JB drawables) and it gives you total control. i noticed other browser react weird to dpi scaling, trebuchet has missing rows in the app drawer for instance. holo could easily handle phone and tabUI in all possible sizes, even lets you define the appdrawer grids. has many, many more features.

how about replacing trebuchet with it right away ... what do you think?

my biggest gripe with trebuchet right now is that it seems like no ones developing it any further, it seems stuck. all i see on cm's git is language patches. i cant even get rid of those weird blue outlines. and even if someone works on it, that person still needs a 7" tablet to refine the 600dp layouts, which dont show on a phone.

ps.

testing the device now for 24 hours and i think lag is not a problem. at least with the cm base im running right now. its smooth and fluid. the flickr is there, it happend indeed when im browsing in chrome. i will try the app-settings fix.

anyway, new build coming soon.

Tried holo some time on my nexus 7 as well as my galaxy nexus, at first i was impressed but i noticed that the last app page would always lag, nova fixed this for me, dunno if holo is working properly again.

Sent from my deodexed Jelly Beaned Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
switch off infinite scrolling in the app drawer, then it behaves like all the other launchers. the lag is the launcher jumping from the last page to the first which is in my opinion not google optimized via the viewpager. without infinite scrolling i dont see any difference when i compare it to aosp stock.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Never tried it but just installed it. Nova has been my favorite so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
i like nova, too. but i have stopped using it becaue im missing the 4.1 functionality. seems like they got stock with ICS and JB drawables. i want project butter, i'd like to flick out elements and have them make way if i bring in a new one or move another, app drawer looks better, too. so i have been using trebuchet but it has so many shortcommings and i just dont know how long im supposed to wait for it. im afraid when it reaches a somewhat finished state key lime pie will probably be out making it obsolete again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Multisaft7:
when you use the beta versions you got these functions... :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
yep, just installed nova beta. its finally there.

still pretty rough. i scale mine to 190 dpi. i get a gap in the appdrawer. to fix it i can set it to 7x6, but then pages start to overlap. the implementation is not yet clean it seems. thats the thing i noticed with holo - it has all these things and working flawless.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tobitronics:
I never use infinite scrolling, and the issue was still there
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
this is what i mean:

holo launcher HD in phablet and tabletUI, both 190dpi.

systemUI running in 160dpi.

app drawer looks good, no super huge icons or weird margins.

i have once had my own launcher2 fork, i know how hard it is to get the layouts right, especially the higher ones. im impressed by what this dev has done. i cannot get this result with any other launcher, at least not without introducing new flaws.

My vote goes to replacing trebuchet with this launcher

Hi there, just got my nexus 7 and sure enough installed this great ROM together with faux kernel right away. One question, why does my browser dolphin get killed while being in the background although I gof around 300 mob of ram?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
android determines when to kill what. google knows the criteria. afaik there is no guarantee, if the system decides an app is ripe is has to go. the behavior is pretty much prevalent for most browsers, chrome for instance will also reload its page when you leave and pop back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
I had this same issue as well when I was running motleys kernel. Since I switched to trinity I haven't had it happen again. It's been about a week so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TedT100:
Just installed holo launcher HD, and after speeding up animations to 80, I definitely like it better than nova, I do miss the folder options (adding multiple apps from list) but the speed is worth it.

Now if I could find a good CRT screen-off animation I would be fulfilled. I have heard of hardware difficulties and have tried the patch attempts and got maybe 1/10 success rate...

I tried all of them launchers, nova, apex and holo, all are great in their own ways and features, but for a widget polluted screen as mine nothing works better than nova, specially when it comes to screen rotation, it doesn't load the widgets each and every time you rotate the screen, also it doesn't make some icons ( like imdb app icon ) blury in different dpis.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
Launchers?!? You wan talk bout Launchers, meng?!?

With all this talk about launchers, I felt it necessary to chime in on behalf of the "We Heart Eye Candy" crowd :)

SPB Shell 3D has come a LONG ways in the past couple of years, and is a perfect way to showcase your n7 (especially if you enjoy showing it off, as I do). The n7 has enough RAM, so you don't have to worry about the launcher reloading all the time, and it's fast enough to keep the animations and transition effects smooth and fluid. The developer stays on top of it and incorporates api changes quickly (it supports the Jb repositioning api already), and is quick to support their product.

When I whip my n7 out - be it in a crowd of iCrap users or Android users, makes no difference - it's a show-stopper. I'm instantly bombarded with questions like "What the hell IS that?", "What launcher is that?", and "Can you do that to my <insert device here>?"... The typical reaction to seeing me scroll through home screens for the first time is "Holy ****, man.. That is SLICK!".

One thing that seems to plague n7 users that never happens to me.. Nobody ever says "Hey, man, is that the new iPad Mini?". iCrap users are usually floored and speechless when I fire this bad-boy up...

I just wish there were fraps for android, as screenshots truly do this launcher no justice...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonjvaughn:
Thanks for the reminder! I used SPB back on an early Samsung windows phone and was interested when they announced work on 3D for Android but I lost track of the progress. I think I will take it for a spin as this device can handle the stress me thinks. Certainly looks good. And the WOW factor!

I was thinking about Chameleon also.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I purchased that months ago and used it for a while.

I'm a bit of a crackhead when it comes to apps, and I've bought most all of the major launchers lol. I haven't tried it on my N7 yet.

Moles when can we expect to see a new ROM released now that u have your nexus 7 and can make this even more epic than it already is...THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SquireSCA:
Dude, I am a huge fan of that launcher. Nothing I have ever seen comes close to the eye candy of SBP. Smooth, and the included widget panels are better than most everything out there. When you want your tablet to look as good as it runs, there is no substitute for that one.

Chameleon has a lot of potential, but it is still in it's early stages and they have a lot of work to do.

I am currently running Cookies and Cream, which is based on Paranoid, but I use SBP instead of Trebuchet...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MacGaiser:
I installed the Rom today and my first impression is that the Rom is really awesome! I like it very much!

The team did a great job!

I have one question regarding the workspace configurations: Is it also possible to change the Position of the status bar and the virtual buttons while using the tablet modes? It would be much more comfortable for me if the virtual buttons would be in the right corner. It would be great if you can add this function if it won't be content of the Rom until now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
i tried to implement this. the commit is still on our gerrit. doing this is simple but it needs much more work, but then come the things that rely on it and that makes it much more complicated: google now's drag-up, notificationcenter, camera, lights-out, order of buttons to prevent items moving around all the time, etc. --- for now, seeing as this would only make sense for a very small minority (lefthanded people) i have given up on it, waiting either for inspiration or someone who likes to finish it.

all i can say right now is, even if its finished, if you are righthanded you wont be able to use your phone anymore. as it is now your thumb reaches where the navigation buttons are, you can still swipe up the notificationcenter with the thumb-bone and even reach the items in it. if its reversed you will not be able to press home, back, recents or menu - its impossible, even if you have small hands (my gf's hands are tiny, she can barely reach it, but only by bending her thumb so much that it hurts). the commit on gerrit is unfinished but functional - if you have the capacity to build it, try and you'll see.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
that has nothing to do with the launcher. for that you have to thank cyanogenmod. : P its a small bug in their brand new button-control panel. it is the most awesome feature, lets you drag and drop buttons, define them. it just kills all other stabs at that. but they havent really made it with the nex7 in plain sight it seems - this is so obvious they would have seen it right away had they tried it on it. im sure though it will go away soon.

I noticed that Trebuchet has an odd bug where if all your home screen space is filled and you install an app from the Android Market (still refusing to call it the Play Store!) Then Trebuchet will crash, though only if its set to automatically add a shortcut when installing. Have put a bug report on the cyanogenmod bug tracker.

One option I'd like to see would be being able to customise the notification pull down so that the name of the WiFi network isn't shown at the bottom, or being able to choose your own string. I'd quite like it to just say Nexus 7, or maybe Paranoid Android!

Is this a bug?

Hi folks. I've recently flashed this rom and come across something that I can't figure out. the icons on my homescreen in landscape mode are below the status bar. I've tried changing the launcher vertical and horizontal padding. The padding settings only appears to be working when in portrait mode and it has no effect on the placement of the icons. Additionally, the icons in portrate mode appear to move off the edge of the screen. Is this a launcher issue or a PA bug? I have searched for a similar issue but I can't find anything. See the screen shots.

Lastly, occassionally, I notice that NONE of my homescreen icons appear on the home screen when I am in an app and then hit the home button. I have to turn the screen off and then on again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] noobandriod:
^My suggestion you is to use a different launcher such as Nova or Holo. Personally, I think Holo Launcher HD works the best.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MacGaiser:
Thanks for your fast feedback. Even if I would have the capacity, I wouldn't have the knowledge :)

My thought was that it would be much more comfortable in landscape mode if the virtual buttons are on the right side. In landscape the space should be enough to reach the buttons with the right thumb. (I'm right handed)

Another problem is at the moment that if I write a text in normal mode (not landscape) on my nexus7 I use my two thumbs for typing. A lot of times I closed the keyboard with my hand while typing because it touched the screen in the area of the softkey. (it happens in this text at least 5 times)

Mybe if I use the Tablet mode some days more I will get attuned to it. It is my first day with the tablet mode, so maybe I need some more time and it will be ok for my with the buttoms in the left corner.

Many launchers will exhibit strange behavior if the column to row ratio is not 1 to 1, I usually put mine on 6 x 6. I can also recommend Holo Launcher HD.

I knew about alternate launchers. I was bringing it up for the dev's so they can see it. Maybe it's a bug? I don't know. I tried Nova the other day and it completely eliminated my app drawer buttons for some reason so I stopped using it. I was lost for a few minutes but got everything back.

I'll try it out again and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] smelkus:
I figured out the Google Now drag up, lights out, and some of the shifting icons, but haven't had a chance to finish it. I noticed your patch on gerrit too. Dwarf handed... lol. In landscape, it's really nice I think. In portrait, it can be awkward like you said, but it's nice having notifications on the left where they aren't obscured by your hand. I've been trying to get to the point where I can submit the rest to gerrit.

There's probably even more to it than I can fix because when I moved Google Now over, the drag up action would stutter and not work as smoothly. Plus, there's a lot of development still going on in this space, so it's tough keeping up. :) Thanks for giving it a try though.
