Yeah android is supposed to utilize the ram for caching purposes. On windows, free ram is a good thing. On Android its not
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamix6:
so you're saying that it is normal to have almost 700mb us used ram on a freshly flashed rom? my used ram when i unboxed my nexus was about more or less than 400 mb. so i was wondering why it is like this afer i flashed. thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cor-master:
My phone has 175mb free and isn't lagging. Yes it's normal
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dchn2:
This topic has been covered elsewhere (http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care). I hope you'll find it useful.

For android, the bottleneck of performance is at the Cpu (SOC, more precisely), not at RAM; given the size of app is generally small (<5Mb), it takes little time to load into RAM, not like in a PC where programs are huge and it takes forever to cache them from a slow harddrive to RAM. without knowing exactly what aututu has done, i presume there are large data files being used for the purpose of performance testing and that force Android to free up resources to facilitate the process.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kzakhar:
The above explanation is correct: in modern systems unused RAM is wasted RAM.

For example, this is one of my servers at work running Linux:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 125 80 45 0 0 55
-/+ buffers/cache: 25 100
Swap: 32 0 32

As you can see, 80 out of 125 GB of available RAM are being used, 55 GB are being used for disk cache. And that's a good thing: RAM is much faster than disk and considerably speeds up storage I/O. You can also see that the system can free up to a 100 GB of RAM (used - cached) in case if applications, currently using 25 GB of RAM, need more memory.

I suggest you to stop looking at Nexus 7 memory usage, unless you know exactly what you're looking at, as memory usage on a tablet shouldn't concern you at all :)

was anyone able to successfully download 2.23 last night?:highfive:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jamix6:
thank you very much. but what i am concerned about is that i am running on freshly flashed rom. how about after i have installed many apps. i will definitely end up insufficient of ram. and low ram will decrease the multitasking performance and game performance.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] .torrented:
nope
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leelaa:
Naa
[Nexus 7 Original Development] h3r3tic:
I believe multitasking is set by whether u use tablet mode or not. Not sure if that can be easily edited separately.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
in landscape orientation you mean?

in portrait it looks the same as phoneUI to me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] meatlocker:
I had a strange issue last night, the first of it's kind since running 1.9.5a. The keyboard started to not register my key presses out of the blue, in the middle of an email. It lasted for about 10 minutes, then systemUI crashed. Once it came back up, touch was fine again. I'm watching it closely this morning, but just wanted to get that feedback out there. I know that this was a module that was changed in 1.9.5a (per your notes, Moles). Otherwise, this is still the best ROM out there for N7. Your work is stellar.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] brianjr1:
Thanks In both landscape and portrait for tablet ui, the multitasking icon cascades vertically only.

Shouldn't portrait be vertically oriented to the left, and landscape be horizontally oriented in the middle?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] redmonke255:
What would happen is once I rebooted, no matter what I couldn't open the notification drawer in tablet mode. I fixed it by disabling the notification power widgets. There seems to be a conflict between the two.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] neilrl79:
I think it definitely works better when the "recents" are directly above the buttons on the left, easier to swipe away in that position.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tiny4579:
Landscape and portrait should be vertical even in tabletui. Landscape should be aligned to the left since that's where the recents button is in tabletui.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thepatman:
Wow - re-flashed stock, went through the stock Welcome wizard, obtained root, flashed 1.95, fix, gapps, kernel (T7) and it still comes back with no Google account and no way to add it. Quite perplexing.

Would love any input (I have searched, can't find anything relevant)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] neilrl79:
Are any of the gapps there(playstore, etc)? I'm thinking there has to be something wrong with the gapps package you flashed, maybe download them again and re-flash gapps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
dont worry, its the first version.

recents in tabmode looked hellish before this and they were laggy because google skipped project butter, software-rendered.

i ported the project butter implementation and the phone/phab design - quite happy with it. i had horizontal recents running aswell, but it crashed for some reason. thats what the last fix did, it made recents vertical in landscape mode. small blemish but overall win. there will be enough time to deal with things like that in the future.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Anyone else have this issue
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dsmforlife92:
If I do system format will it delete everything and just keep the ROM
[Nexus 7 Original Development] redmonke255:
It will make it empty and you need to install the rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tiny4579:
No. It will delete the ROM but keep everything else.

Downloading 1.95 02AUG2012 141855.zip

Do I need 1.95 BUGFIX1.zip too?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] whiskerz:
Bugfiexs for latest version

I didn't flash the bugfixes in the latest version, during the same session as the rom and gaaps because that would cause issues. I thought the rom was still compiling during first boot, and flashing a bugfix in the same session would screw things up. So my question is now that I already have the rom and gapps on my tablet working fine, should I go into cwm and flash the latest bugfix without wiping cache/dalvik? Or should I wipe cahce/dalvik and apply the latest bug fix?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] molesarecoming:
always do whats on the first page. if its listing the bugfix with the same number as the rom, flash it. (-:

btw guys,

i found a cool trick to finally get tabUI on a couple of apps that wouldnt show it.

edit /system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf

$screen_3_width=1000

looks like 720 is too small for playmarket for instance. i think in future we will probably leave this phone/tab/phab stuff and read out the actual layout containers, then the user could pick em by hand.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] StuMcBill:
Perfect, cheers mate!

Are you still building this blind? Great work either way!! :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] whiskerz:
Oh, ok that was my fault then. :( So do you think If I flash the bugfix now it would cause issues?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thepatman:
I'm using the same gapps that I flashed on my GNex, jb_20120726 - worked fine there, so if that fixes things it will be very odd!

But I will have another go tonight, maybe leave the kernel out of the process until I have PA installed properly. Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lightninbug:
so if i read right...the first time it was uploaded, he uploaded a tv show called arrow instead....the second time, no one could get the download to finish....and i believe it was uploaded a third time with the same results as the second...

By the sounds of it the op is wayyyy overworked...and burned out...or he was under the influence..lol...

either way has there been ANY talk as to when we will see 2.23 for a fourth time? :silly:

Hopefully I dont get flammed for asking an ETA too lol.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metallice:
My theory is that the problem is the same one that AOKP had in its early days. Roman or whoever else would announce they're uploading a new build, for some reason goo.im would show the file even though it was still in the process of uploading. People would rush to goo.im, ignore common sense, and download a 20Mb ROM 30 seconds after he announced he started uploading. Something goes wrong on goo's end so that when hundreds of people try to download an uploading file... the file upload either stops before finishing or gets corrupted.

I'm basing this on that I remember seeing people on this thread saying that they were trying to download 2.23 and getting small files. To which people responded that it was still uploading.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kzakhar:
Like I said, you shouldn't worry about RAM: its usage doesn't depend on the number of installed apps that much, but mostly on the number of apps and tasks running. You may have hundreds of apps installed, but will unlikely use more than a few simultaneously, and in case you choose to run a memory-intensive application, the system will automatically reduce its caches/buffers and unload previously launched, but no longer used, apps to accommodate it.

The reason why you may see high RAM utilization on a freshly installed ROM is quite obvious: a freshly installed system has to perform a lot of tasks to settle, these tasks perform intensive storage I/O operations, and the system automatically uses available RAM for caching storage I/O. This is not a bad thing at all: the cache memory can significantly boost I/O speed and can be almost instantly freed when needed.

Don't worry, your Nexus will not run out of RAM in foreseeable future :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
And the people who said it was still uploading were incorrect, the file had already finished. I waited the 10 minutes Aaron said to wait, I actually waited 15 min...at that time the file was 154 (I download from the op) and 16 people had already download it. What would make last night any different than other times where people are waiting to download? If that was the case wouldn't this happen often?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zimphishmonger:
2.23 was successfully uploaded yesterday. The file itself was corrupt, so even a successful download will still result in a failed flash. The MD5 is correct, the file is just damaged (which is why it was pulled).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lightninbug:
But wouldn't he flash it on his device or at least test it before releasing/uploading it to the masses? Makes no sense to me...like I said before OP is either overworked, or was under the influence last night..

But OP do realize, now there is going to be more demand for it, and more asking for etas as the day progresses.....

You're welcome. If you appreciate someone's help, just hit the THANKS button :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Not if we know what's good for us :) Plus, It's already been stated not to ask for eta :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GinoAMelone:
Back in the day, when the CM team was just Steve, the consensus was that every request for an ETA delayed the release by one hour, minimum.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyhamster73:
Honestly, I would probably do the same, especially if there were errors I needed to work out. 1 hour is being generous....I was thinking every request would be 5 hours...lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leelaa:
I think delaying because someone asked for an ETA is plain stupid and childish. Its also abusing power imo.

Fair enough people constantly asking for ETA`s is annoying. But really? Punish everyone because someone is excited about a rom update or what ever, come on really? If i was a dev personally i would be flattered if people where sking for ETA`s as it shows the rom is a hit.

Thats just my 2 cents anyway :)

Any more personal insults, i start handing out infractions, its just way out of line.

The OP is obviously overworked, give him a break. He's also maintaining the Cookies & Cream ROM as well, which is also just as complicated as PA. Everybody makes mistakes, no reason to make a big deal, especially when the OP is donating his time to keep up this ROM. Just take it easy, he knows there's demand....It's a respect thing.

Awesome, new features :)

Yer its somthing to look forward to. Last i checked it was still open and not merged. So we may get very soon or in the future. But its good to know that its being considered :)

First time using PA. I've been changing settings like crazy, but I can't seem to get this correct.

Anyone know how to get full tablet landscape to work with Trebuchet launcher? When I change Tebuchet's layout/UI to 720px, it force closes anytime it's in tablet mode. It seems to work fine in portrait. I'm also missing the search and app drawer buttons, regardless of orientation and dpi.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Salv0:
Use another launcher as holo HD or nova ( I use the first) and you'll be fine :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] .torrented:
It did this for me just give the rom like a few days to a week then try it again for some reason it need time to settle before it will ok the tabletUI... after that its gold

[Nexus 7 Original Development] denimjunkie82:
Thanks for the tips. I don't like how apex/nova/holo launchers look when scaled to tablet ui. Something about the stock launcher just has all the correct border and sizes that appeal to me (both home screen and app drawer).

I guess it's a trebuchet bug. I was able to grab the stock launcher from another rom and it works great :). I'm just missing grid and widget resizing, but I think I can live with it for now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] css771:
Oh wow. Never thought it was because of that. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VoluntaryMan:
Have you tried Apex launcher? It has phone mode, tablet mode (weird margins) and the small tablet mode which if I remember correctly is what trebuchet is. Just change the pa settings for it to switch styles.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cor-master:
If you want tablet mode and your on pa just grab nova and change the dpi. Looks great on mine!

is there a fastboot command for it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nuwan32:
You can always use the extended power menu to boot to recovery or use an app like ROM manager

i tried but no use and i tried

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

fastboot erase cache

and i tried the toolkit to reboot but it just reboot normally

Is it possible to add one more toggle?

I would like a screen-always on toggle, it has proved to be very useful when you are using your tablet in the dark, reading, or leaving your tablet for a while but don't want the screen to power off.

And just to say I love the new toggles. I used to have a widget on my home screen but I have now deleted it, the new style is so simple and easy to use.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
I was in a similar situation in that the new bootloader made booting into recovery impossible. I ended up flashing the old bootloader back in fastboot, and then it was fine

Newest Bootloader?

Okay guys, I'm still on PA 2.16 (Haven't had a lot of free time recently)

Do I need to update to the newest bootloader before I flash 2.23 or can I stick with the old one since I've seen a lot of people having issues?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aaronpoweruser:
Seems like I missed a party, I was busy all day with work things, so I couldn't make a new build, and yes I do flash the builds on my device. I pulled the build once I realized it was bad and changed the title of the thread back to 2.2. Having to wait another 24 hours for a build to me is a minor inconvenience at most 2.2 is stable.

2.23 is up and I download(very slowly) from goo and tested.

Anyway Nav Bar color is in and the ground work is there for even more color awesomeness so stay tuned.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] farmerbb:
2.23 up and running beautifully for me :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kzakhar:
You don't need to upgrade the bootloader if you just want to upgrade PA. The old bootloader will work just fine, but you may want to upgrade to the latest bootloader as it fixes the boot-to-recovery issue (or makes it worse, if you're not lucky).

You do need to learn how to search within threads though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coversnail:
It's simply the: Settings > paranoid settings

You don't have to update the bootloader if you don't wish to.

A very nice update, nice to see lots of new options. Loads of new toggle styles, add day and month to the clock, navigation bar colour.

The wifi icon in the navigation bar doesn't seem to have transparency between its reception bars which looks a tiny bit odd when you change the navigation bar colour, but its probably more readable because of it. Brightness slider is still missing an icon, but that's a very minor quibble.

It's either FF33E5B5 or FF33B5E5...I usually get the E and B mixed up.
