[Nexus 7 Android Development] bagl0312:
Just installed the Beta 4, all F2FS version + the "nano" version of the gapps (the larger versions were not installable due to system memory limitations).

After restoring my apps and settings with TB, I confirm that the overall experience is quite good.

Even chrome is reasonably fast and I don't see big lags.

I was using the SlimKat All-F2FS before (android 4.4.4) and I am quite happy with lollipop XenonHD ROM now :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FerrarisIV:
Thank you again. I just flashed the rom, first impressions are good and also skype video call run (in slimP did not have camera).

Bye ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bagl0312:
Did you update twrp to the last version? I had also an error with the previous version
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gogol:
Do you use default Slim Launcher from the beta4? If yes, how do you customize it?

If not, which launcher do you use?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
Long click on the homescreen and then settings.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bagl0312:
I use Nova launcher

Greetings all.

I am new to this ROM and have some questions. My wife's N7 (2012 3G but never had a SIM so it's only WiFi) is running another ROM and is having random reboot issues. I am ROM shopping and want to try this one. The file name that I have (update-XenonHD-01-20-15-signed-grouper) is the ROM or is it a patch/update to another ROM?

I have a non-3G ROM on the device, so I know this one should work, right? I am going to do a TiBu of all her apps before I flash this one. Any issues with doing a complete restore from TiBu if I set her device up as new on first boot?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treesurf:
TiBu should work fine as long as you flash the latest SuperSu zip after installing the ROM. I think current version is 2.45. ROM should probably work fine on the 3G N7, but you won't have mobile data capability.

Nice homebrew rig!

Hey all

Does the inclusion of the theme picker prevent installation/running of live wallpapers?

I normally use the Radiant Particles live wallpaper & although I've downloaded it I'm unable to install it & get a message that the app is not installed (although it's visible in the wallpaper picker).

I'm using the F2FS build on a clean unit.

Cheers, Paul

Beta 4 f2fs is running great for me. I think it was a very wise choice moving over to Slim Launcher. It feels much better on this older device. Thanks for your hard work [MENTION=3152067]iceandfire[/MENTION] (and for the conversion [MENTION=4770894]Libertunas[/MENTION])!

Same here. I'm not getting signal from any satellites. Doesn't matter to me; I use my phone for any GPS stuff, but I can confirm that it doesn't seem to be functioning.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I get this error trying to flash F2FS version. The regular version seems to flash fine. I'm using TWRP v2.8.4.1. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
The non F2FS just boot loops. The link to the original doesn't work but I was able to find it. I'll try to redownload it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] alan081954:
would the F2FS version get the GPS to work?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Doubtful. I'm on F2FS and it doesn't even pick up any satellites (you can tell using the GPS Status app). It just shows a flat line with no signals at all.

This is what it should look like (from my G3).

Your twrp is very outdated no wonder. :D we arecalready on twrp 2.8.4.1. Update yours.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] duckredbeard:
Aye. Is there a recovery flashable update?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] duckredbeard:
Updated to 2.8.4.1. Wugfresh is awesome. I got the ROM to install but the GApps failed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
If you are flashing f2fs, you need a small gapps package. Choose pa nano or pico. Full is waaaay too big. It might even be too big for ext4 on this device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treesurf:
PA micro gapps have also worked for me (on another f2fs ROM). Anything larger than that will fail to install on f2fs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
TWRP for grouper

you can obtain it from the TWRP grouper thread here or if youhave the Nexus root Toolkit, it checks for dependencies update everytime you open it so you can also obtain the recovery there. if you want you can let it flash the recovery for you.:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gogol:
What is this "pa" nano and micro gapps? Any link?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zarac:
PA GAPPS - Paranoid Android GAPPS - http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

"Nano" and "micro" are different size-variants of the above mentioned GAPPS. Also there are "stock", "full", and "pico". Choose one depending on the system leftover space after ROM install. You can also tailor any of those variants to your needs by removing unneeded applications from the package you choose via .gapps-config file (read post #4 in the PA GAPPS thread CAREFULLY).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Harpratap:
Anyone else facing the miscellaneous battery bug on this rom?

I'm using beta 4 full f2fs version with pico gapps from PA.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
I tried the change navbar icon option, and now I don't have a home button. Image did not take and I can't get the default back. I tried a dirty flash, but icon is still missing.

Also, where to set alarm sound?

Also, I tried installing a silent mode widget for sounds and it dirped audio all together. Took me a while to get sound back. Be nice to have sound option in power menu.

Also, in dark mode I have white bars on each site of settings. If I change dpi from 213 to 215 they go away.

Edit: Followup here. After flashing M-a73 most of my issues went away. My home icon appeared out of nowhere. Left dpi at 213 and navbar reappeared in landscape (was gone at anything above that). I'll live with odd dark ui until next release. Running smoothly on ext4!

I gave beta 4 another try yesterday. Everything went fine, installation and configuration. Overall user interface and performance were fast and fluid.

BUT...

The power button delay issue came back, it's worse than beta 3.

After checking the /system partition, I saw only about 22 MB free, compared to 114 MB with beta 3. I used PA nano gapps.

Then I flashed another smaller gapps which left the /system to 39 MB free. But still the power button delay was there haunting ?

Back to beta 3 again now, much much better elevating that issue.

I am not sure what bogging down the process during waking up the device. I made Nandroid backup of beta 4, if I have some time, I will give it a try.

As unlike my as it sounds Google keyboard and asop doubt get along. I also have had issues with asop and standard voice typing. Since this is cm based It does t surprise me. I use the nano PA gapps and use the replacement add on zips or I replace asop with Google keyboard before first boot. Either way it's a pain in the butt with no solid cause or fix.

With xenon which kernel you recommend? that of rom or other?

For my nexus, I want a lollipop rom the smoother and faster, as well as fairly stable.

Thank You! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Flays:
battery

This ROM is really nice. At first I had a problem with battery drain. It sucked half of battery overnight. I then checked the battery stats, and the tablet was never in deep sleep. I think it might be related to my version of supersu. When I started the app it gave ma a warning: "there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!". So I decided to wipe everything and start all over. I installed ROM, then nano Gapps, and a newer version of supersu 2.19. From that moment on, the tablet goes normaly to deep sleep and the supersu is working great. So fas so good. I still have to install other apps, and really start using the tablet, but from the fist impression, it feels more responsive than kitKat versions.

Good work!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
Updated to beta 5

Updated to beta 5. Added stuff like RRO, per app expanded desktop controls, heads up swipe options and settings, added new QS tiles like NFC, performance profiles, system profiles, compass, etc. Added a other new features/customizations. Fixed a lot of stuff including double vibration on pressing back button, etc.

The CM theme engine has been replaced by RRO and this going from beta 4 to beta 5 requires a clean flash. Otherwise you'll be stuck in a boot loop.

For RRO instructions and overlays go here:

Thought I'd give this ROM another shot, like to see how the added RRO looks. Two issues so far (with factory reset twice), ext4 only. What now?

1. Homescreen icons came in HUGE (but only in portrait).

(fixed, changed dpi from 212 to 240; icons actually got smaller...weird)

2. Busybox (fresh install from Playstore) getting lots of errors, Neither of my backup programs are working (Parcel and My BU Pro).

(fixed uninstalled BB and reinstalled)

3. Still no soft keys in landscape.

I had giant icons too before switching to 240 DPI. I also have no nav buttons in landscape.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:

+1! i thought i was the only one with that huge icons problem. i thought it happened because i dirty flashed the new update over my 1/20 build. now i can't open my app drawer.:(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
You have to clean flash this update, per the OP.

Edit - Right, so we kinda need 213 DPI. The icons are fixed in landscape and the nav bar is right where it should be. But the icons are massive in portrait. Any ideas how to fix that?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] repl1ca:
Yeah I'm getting the same thing with beta 5 F2FS....large icons on the desktop and launcher drawer issues. Changed DPI to 180 and still the same thing.

What's weird is that folders are tiny. It is the icons that are giant.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
The icons is issue is only with default launcher or every launcher like nova, etc?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mrpkarthik:
Only in STOCK SLIM Launcher... No issues when using 3rd party launchers like NOVA,APEX,...

I am using NOVA Launcher..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
I like your stock launcher very much, but in the spirit of troubleshooting, Apex Launcher seems to work fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] d j a:
The issue, from what I can see is with the Launcher- NOT the rom. Install GApps & use the Google launcher or another and you should be good. Personally, I like Themer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
Then its the slim launcher. Will try fixing it myself in the next update.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Yep, Apex is working just fine; no rush.

Aside from that minor issue this build is running splendidly. Fast and very smooth. Loving beta4 so far. Thanks [MENTION=3152067]iceandfire[/MENTION]!!

The new version is working fine for me! My GPS is working also. I had the same large icons until I added the go launcher. keep up the great work!

Hey fellas. I just picked up a Nexus 7 on the cheap from Swappa for my little guy. I'm looking for a stockish rom where everything works with no issue. Will only be used for playing videos, Chromecast & YouTube.

Have I come to the right place?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Yes, but on beta 4 you'll have to use a different-than-included launcher (Apex, Nova, etc) to fix the home screen icons, at least until beta 5 comes along. Aside from that quirk, it's running great.

Dear [MENTION=3152067]iceandfire[/MENTION] !

First of all: Your work is great! I had some android devices myself and this ROM is truly one of the best I've seen for my Nexus 7!

I have some questions for you: Are you going to implement Double Tap 2 Wake function? If not, how can I access it? AFAIK, Xposed with some sort of expansion has this feature, but it's not ready for 5.0.x yet. Should I try a different kernel? I'm really eager to have this function to show off to my friend who has an LG G3!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zarac:
It does - picked up 7 satellites in 15 seconds after a dirty update from jan20all-f2fs. It didn't work at all before.

However there's no theme chooser, but I can live with that.

I just upgraded from beta4 to beta5 (F2FS version), without wiping the user data (only dalvik and cache).

Everything seems fine, also the GPS works now, it was not working on beta4.

Since I use nova launcher, I did not have problems with the icons size
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FerrarisIV:
Do you mean how to install the Rom or install the new TWRP? And, IMPORTANT, did you already convert your partition from Ext in the F2FS ?

If you have the twrp 2.7.0 (that you linked me above) you can update easly with this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

it is very useful

when you have last twrp, if you are in F2FS filesystem, you can proceed to flash the rom (after the wipes)
