What is this tablet patch mentioned on the first page?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Finding battery life to be great. Used primarily as a movie watching Device for my son. Took off the charger yesterday evening 2-18-15 7pm.

He watched around 1.5 hours of movies and sitting at 82%. For a device of this age I consider this outstanding.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Sweet; thank you! I'll give it a try as soon as time allows. Probably early next week, heh.

EDIT - Edited in corrected link.

Sorry, but the file name is the same as the previous version:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934519244

update-XenonHD-01-27-15-signed-FULLF2FS-grouper.zip

Does this mean the file name is the same, but content is 02-18 version, or filename and content are the same as 01-27 version?

Just flashed latest stable build with a sick new theme on top from Jimmy Setiawon called Greyffindor.

Running great, looks even better.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jbr05ki:
Bahleted.

Good ROM!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zinko_pt:
Its OK now. Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] samjam:
Thanks for the update, is working well.

Anyone know how to turn on voice input? The microphone icon present with the official 5.0.2 is not available.

Also Google play movies sadly does not work :(

I examined the list of files between official 5.0.2 and the orchids xenonHD but found book obvious omissions
[Nexus 7 Android Development] samjam:
I found that latest CM12 nightly has working Google Play movies, but then I also used gapps micro with that and not pico.

Got the f2fs version installed with lean kernel and slim mini gapps. Tablet is running like new. Great build [MENTION=3152067]iceandfire[/MENTION] with thanks to [MENTION=4770894]Libertunas[/MENTION] for the f2fs conversion!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gogol:
Installed the stable full f2fs version. So far so good. Really like it.

I am now using Nova launcher.

I flashed SuperSU, and updated the SuperSU app from the Play Store. But I don't see the app in the app gallery. Is this normal?

I saw SuperSU option in the Settings though...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zinko_pt:
I like this new release. Very stable.

But then, the battery is nowhere near some 4.x.x ROMs. I believe it´s a Lolipop thing, but also some 4.4.4 ROMs eat a lot battery.

My ultimate test is wifi navigation with Chrome: the battery drops really fast. I remember when I could navigate countless hours with the first ROMs (4.1, 4.2?)

I have to get some numbers to be more precise.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thejron:
I'm getting an error code upon installation with F2FS version and with gapps. Regular rom version flashes ok it seems. :confused:

"Error executing updater binary in zip"
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
You have to convert all convertible partitions to f2fs to install that version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thejron:
I get the same error flashing gapps with the non f2fs rom
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zinko_pt:
Use the smallest gapps and check checksum.

screen flickering

is it just me or i am having a screen flickering issue every few seconds when the scree is off? running this stable build for 2 or 3 days now i think. clean installed., using default kernel. just noticed the issuenow, but overall this rom is good..gaming is superb. ram management is also good. i am able to run real racing 3 smoothly like before. i don't have to switch to my secondary rom when i want to play games.:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] alan081954:
I have the same flickering. No idea what it could be.:confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
Kernel most likely.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
Tried using phantom kernel r2. Issue is a bit diminished but still present.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jbr05ki:
I noticed that too. Its the ambient display settings. Turn it off in the display settings at the bottom. It flickers the screen on notifications.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] FlipFlop425:
I just installed this on my Nexus 7 and I am stuck on the boot screen. Any help?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Make sure you're not installing f2fs without converting all partitions or ext4 with f4fs partitions. Or, put more straightforward, install f2fs only on a f2fs-converted file system and install ext4 only on a full ext4 file system.

If that's not it, I'm not sure why you'd be stuck. I'd re-download the appropriate build and gapps, then try again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lam3248:
After updating to stable 1.0, I lost root. Install update.zip of supersu and I always end up with a bootloop at the xenon animation. I have wipe everything, but whenever I apply root, with version 2,40, 2,44, 2.46 , it won't boot. What is the problem ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlfinity:
Do you have the latest TWRP? If not, try using the latest one.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
Rom is great. The only issue i faced is with audio cracking after a long time. Usually happens on coc. But after i minimize and maximize the app again the problem is gone.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] prateek_gemini:


Hey, how do I get this theme ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Isn't the Layers app installed with this rom by default or no?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evo_like:
Yes
[Nexus 7 Android Development] midnighteight:
Which kernel do you recommend to have greater fluidity and speed with this rom?

Thank you very much! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
I use LeanKernel F2FS on the All F2FS version of XenonHD and they work very well together.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] midnighteight:
Thanks, but i not use the f2fs version.

Which kernel i can use?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Sorry, inserted an extra F2FS in there. LeanKernel supports F2FS and ext4 as far as i can tell. Thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1950858 I'd wait for confirmation from an ext4 user, but I don't think the kernel cares and will work on both.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ANTRIK:
hi i download this rom for my old nexus 7 2012 device and when i boot into recoery with latest twrp it says this devices isnt grouper. what does that mean? what do i have to do?

it says my device is tilapia. do you have the rom for tilapia?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eurosport360:
Hey everyone,

I installed this on my nexus 2013 WiFi only tablet, not knowing there was a nexus 7 2013 forum...woops. I believe i used the correct right kernal. Everything is working perfectly which is good. However, the only thing I noticed is that I cannot find any GPS settings anywhere. I believe there is GPS in the every version of the tablet, and want to tether my phones data with my tablet to use gps with it. I found out that I didn't need to tether GPS, but for the life of me, I can not find a gps setting, and no downloaded GPS widgets show up.

How do I turn on GPS? There is no location services option under setting or Google settings, or anything under data options.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pellajl:
I have been using the SlimLP ROM which has has been an improvement over the stock Lp 5.02.

However, after a few says the tablet becomes unusable due to lag. Nobody seems to know why this happens.

Before I throw the Nexus 7 into the bin or go back to Kitkat, I want to give this ROM a go but I have a couple of questions.

At present, I am using the latest SlimLP ROM and M-Kernel a74 kernel. In the SlimLP thread, users wanting to use f2fs were advised not to reformat /system partition to f2fs as the increase in performance was negligible and you would lose up to 16% of usable memory. The loss in usable memory impacted performance (makes sense to me). I only have the /cache and /data partitions f2fs formatted.

If I flash the f2fs version of this ROM, do I need to format the /system partition to f2fs or can it remain EXT4? In other words, does the ROM support a mixed format environment?

Will flashing M-Kernel a74 kernel allow me to run both f2fs and EXT4?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
I'm pretty sure that full f2fs means you must also convert the system partition. All that means in practice is that you need to use a small gapps package and that in itself shouldn't affect your performance. I would also strongly recommend lean kernel rather than m kernel. My tablet performs much better on lean than m.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pellajl:
Lean kernel comes with SlimLP and I found it to charge very slowly. Replaced it with m kernel and the tablet started fast charging and battery usage was better. I didn't notice any performance difference.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
Hey; whatever works for you. Just relaying my experience. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stu83:
First off, awesome Rom, breathed new life into my N7!

Only issue I've got is USB OTG memory card constantly disconnects. Anyone else have this problem? Tried another cable and same thing. Was ok on an old Rom. Need a new kernel?

homescreen doesnt rotate

With the latest version (13)+ the homescreen doesnt rotate anymore. How to reanable it? Itwas working fine before on all the other versions I tried...

BTW this thread is almost dead, is there an official thread for this ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
Check your rotation settings or rotation lock in status bar. Weird because it works here.

PS: Nobody really leaves a feedback. :|
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bobjbain:
Actually, I have a weird problem and I don't think it's really ROM related (Nice boot animation on the latest BTW).

So, I noticed that whenever I was downloading stuff my 7 would start to slow down and the back would get hot, so I reasoned that because have been installing ROMs left right and centre and doing other things that my SDD has got a bit fragmented.

So, I backed up with Titanium, "adb pull"ed my /sdcard to my PC and dropped in TWRP.

Did a Factory Wipe, then formatted sdcard.

Now, I "adb push"ed my /sdcard backup back to /sdcard/ and installed the new version of this fine ROM.

Booted the beast, did me setup and things and then tried to download some updates.

No chance came the swift reply. So obviously something is wrong...

So, open up Antek Explorer and the first folder I see is '/storage/sdcard0', WTF.

Looking further I see that /mnt/sdcard is now symlinked to /storage/sdcard0, so my df is thus :-

root@android:/ # df
df
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 487M 32K 487M 4096
/mnt/asec 487M 0K 487M 4096

/storage/sdcard0 13G 7G 5G 4096
/mnt/asec/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro-1 2M 108K 1M 4096

and my mount points are :-

I'm pretty sure this wasn't like this before so if someone could check their current mount points I would be most grateful

And if mine is wrong, how do I get back to where I was ??

TIA

What I don't get is that there is a "Nexus 7 Original Development" and a "Nexus 7 Android Development" sub-forum.

Now both seem to have ROM devs in them, and I wasn't aware of the former until I was looking for a new Kernel!!

What is the difference between them??

Why is this?

Are u using apex,nova ,holo? Make sure ur launcher has rotation on
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Masrawy:
Im using the launcher coming with the ROM... I think its apex. Yes rotation is on, it was always on. It was working from version 8 to 12, now it doesnt...

Just to be a hundred percent sure. Is this option in the statusbar? If yes... there gotta be a problem somewhere I even formated every thing and reinstalled from scratch! Can it be gapps the problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] armyboy11b:
The one in status bar is one but u need to turn the one in apex settings also or it won't rotate
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iceandfire:
If you flashed the latest update. There's no apex launcher in it and the stock launcher doesn't support rotation in phone ui mode.

Tried to flash this ROM on a Grouper device and TWRP wouldn't let me. I don't have a SIM card and have no intentions to put this on a mobile network. Is there a way to flash this ROM?

Until then, I am going with Freak-SlimLp. Any feedback on that ROM since I may not be able to run Xenon?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Not sure what issue your having. I have been running this rom for a few months with no issue and the latest stable build is the best yet. Have you checked your md5 on both gapps and the rom zip?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] duckredbeard:
It isn't an md5 mismatch errror. TWRP is telling me that the ROM is Grouper and the device is Tilapia. I won't be on mobile network, so I don't need to be on a Tilapia ROM. I have installed Grouper ROMs in the past without issue (BSZAospLP).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
You know this rom is for the wifi only model right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] duckredbeard:
Yes. I have never had a sim card in this and I am on a Grouper ROM now. It is a Tilapia device running a Grouper ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
The reason it's not flashing is that the updater-script in the rom zipfile has an assert command that's looking for a grouper device, see the updater-script below with that assert command line in bold. It's meant to be a safeguard against possibly bricking a device by trying to flash a Samsung Galaxy Note rom on a Nexus 7.:D If you want to flash this rom on your tilapia, you would have to edit the updater-script and delete that line.

If you're comfortable with something like winrar or 7 zip, simply extract the updater-script from the rom zipfile. It's located in META-INF/com/google/android. Once you drill down to the updater-script file, extract it and edit it with Notepad++. Do not use the simple notepad app in windows, use Notepad++! Once you've edited the updater-script file, simply archive/add it back into the rom zipfile overwriting the old updater-script file.

Do this at your own risk! Although the rom should be fine minus sim card functionality, I don't know if there might be any other issues.

Line to delete

:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper" || abort("This package is for device: grouper; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."); );

Lines you will be keeping:

ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));

show_progress(0.750000, 0);

block_image_update("/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat");

show_progress(0.050000, 5);

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX");

show_progress(0.200000, 10);

Btw, you were able to flash Slim LP and BSZ AOSP because the updater-script did not contain that assert line. The majority of roms for grouper will have that assert line looking for grouper, while some may have an assert line that looks for both grouper and tilapia. Just something to keep in mind for any future flashing. ;) :)

Good luck,

Mike T

[Nexus 7 Android Development] hokiealumnus:
I use Slim gapps. You can find links here: http://xdaforums.com/slimroms/general/gapps-official-slim-gapps-trds-slimkat-t2792842

f2fs is a different file system that is supposed to help faster read/write speeds, especially on devices like the older Nexus 7 that aren't especially good at cleaning up after themselves (properly cleaning storage), which can slow it down. Switching to f2fs will change the format of your internal storage, so it will definitely wipe everything on your device.
