Two methods I can think of:

a)

1. Use a file explorer such as ES File Explorer to go to /system/etc

2. Make a backup of the file named "hosts" by, for example, copying and pasting it in a different directory

3. Open the file named "hosts" in the directory as text by using ES Note Editor, for example

4. Remove everything in the hosts file and insert

127.0.0.1 localhost

5. Save the hosts file.

6. Reboot system (?)

b)

1. Back up your user apps using Titanium Backup; also make a nandroid backup in TWRP or CWM

2. Wipe everything and reinstall the ROM whilst opting out of the ad blocking in the Aroma installer

3. Reinstall apps and stuff

Edit:

c) Just deleting the hosts file could do the trick also

Ah now this is what I was looking for. I've been antsy for 4.3 just for the trim support. I can sit tight on the opengl update now that I got my smoothness back.

Will this ROM allow my nexus 7 to share its WiFi connection with my laptop through USB connection?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] harry_fine:
Bit confused about Franco kernel versions. Installed this ROM on my wife's Nexus 7 wifi yesterday, chose Franco through Aroma. But the installed version is franco.Kernel-nightly-r65. Yet when I go to the Franco thread, it's franco.Kernel-nightly-r75.

So anyone here using the r75? Any differences, improvements, bug fixes?

Thanks all.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicoGa:
r75 is for android 4.3

How can I tell which boot loader is installed?

Don't mean to hijack the thread.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicoGa:
reboot to bootloader. But there may be other ways ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azure Dragon:
I'm dying already cause I know I can't buy the new Nexus 7 until my next birthday. Damn.

Although root seems to be not working in there I don't really have to be desperate in getting it, maybe let developments happen for a year. Are you planning to update to Android 4.3 [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION]?

Anyone have any info if smooth is going to be updated to 4.3... Or should I jump ship to another rom?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinyhead:
I was thinking the same thing but after playing around with 4.3 on my gnex this weekend.... I might just wait a bit...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicoGa:
Man! Before asking for an eta ( which is forbidden), READ THE THREAD!!!

We have to wait for AOKP to go 4.3 before jamesst20 can do anything ... And this could take some weeks.

Where in the over 5000 posts is that statement again?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicoGa:
You could have just search for 4.3 or for the last post of jamesst20.

Anyway, one guy just ask the same question two post above yours ... it kind of boring dont you think!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
This is a weird place. Legitimate questions often get no response at all, but if anyone asks for an ETA, everyone responds. What's up with that?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicoGa:
Yes like how to fix the button in the navigation bar (for them not to be cramped in the center).

Anyway, it's hard not to get frustrated by some questions or comments, sorry.

Long life to XDA ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azure Dragon:
No. I'm sorry if that was the requirement for asking questions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
I wish I could offer some help on that button thing, but I have no idea. It's never happened to me. Experts will say the standard 'You must not have wiped properly'. Hahaha

It's how XDA rolls. Actually it is how most forums work. Once you get above a certain post count, you are a forum expert and your primary job is to yell at the noobs for asking the same questions that you asked when you first joined.

It has to do with the circle of life or something.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shevich:
This is the best explanation of xda forums on the internet, thank you sir
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Baddudevsninja:
Hey can't find search on xda app so I'll just ask. My back button is over sensitive I press it once and it double presses. Doesn't happen all the time as I try to press out really quickly happens in both phablet and tablet mode so it's not just the area of the screen. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
Nah, it's just rude.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Don't let it get to you. This place has oodles of information and a lot of good folks, but sour-pusses are more abundant here too. If someone here is rude, don't stoop to their level. Hopefully someone with the answer will give it to you, even if they do gently remind you to search, etc.

My general rule is if I know the answer I'll give it to you or give you a link to it, and if I don't have the answer I try to keep my trap shut.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] willis936:
No it's more to do with the bratty attitude that a dev owes you something. It also speaks volumes of ignorance if you don't understand what the ROM is based off of. Asking for an ETA when the base doesn't have a stable release? You should get an earful back for not doing your homework.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
Well I personally have not asked for an ETA, but if the developer feels the same way, I would think it should be he who flames the offender. I agree with the earlier poster and if I have nothing helpful to say, I 'keep my trap shut'.

I am ignorant on how to permanently remove deleted emails from the email client that comes with Smoothrom. Maybe Willis936 can help me with that? When I search for answers on that, all I see are my own plaintive unanswered requests for help with that, which also speaks volumes, to coin a phrase.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Perhaps the reason no one answered is because they don't have an answer and are, therefore, keeping their traps shut :P.

To me, it sounds like your mail server is set to retain email when downloaded into a mail client. Basically, it gets the requests to download email to the client, but it retains the email on the server. So what you're deleting on the client is not deleting on the server and each time it updates, the email you deleted is put back. Make sense? I don't use the stock client (and in fact I froze it in Titanium) so I can't testify if this is the case or not, but I remember running into this all the time on my iPhone when using that Mail client. Good luck.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
Thanks for the response. I don't have this problem with other mail clients on other devices, my iphone, imac etc but this email client has no way to delete "deleted' emails except one at a time ie there is no ' delete trash' button.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Wow that does suck. I guess that's another reason to not use it. Sorry I couldn't be more help....perhaps someone else who hasn't all but removed the client can be of assistance in here. Anybody got any ideas?

from 5.1 to 5.2

hello guys... im coming from SmoothRom 5.1 + Motley Kernel

how do i update to 5.2?

should i just flash the 5.2 ROM then reboot without wiping?!

or do i need to go a clean install?

tia
[Nexus 7 Android Development] swali77:
Factory reset then flash or you will have random FC's and such

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] OzBoy08:
Mate, I recommend this ROM. It is super fast and extremely reliable. I performed my flash last weekend.

Now for the process. I tried to flash by performing a data, cache and dalvik wipe. The system would say the flash was successful but would hang at the boot animation on re-boot. After playing around with this a bit, I found out that if I included the System Wipe (or was it called Factory Reset) as well, everything went smoothly. Up until then I was tearing my hair out thinking I had just bricked my N7. So please add the system wipe to the equation and you will have no issues. BTW, I am using TWRP.

Good luck and hope it all goes well for you.

Cheers

Is there work being done to upgrade this ROM to 4.3¿ I hear its one of the better ROMs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Since this is based on AOKP, it will not be updated to 4.3 until AOKP is
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gorillaz1:
That would make sense.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azure Dragon:
Been using 5.2 for a little long now, haven't encountered any massive problem since, but this thing has been bugging me now.

Err why is my lockscreen wallpaper black? I think it turned to that when I enabled Dark AOKP but now it's disabled and uhmm.. it's still black. Help please?

Just manually change the wallpaper. ;)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] FizzleDiz:
What's up folks? Haven't been around for a few months since getting rid of the old N7. Got the new one today and I'm lovin it. Although I'm already missing SmoothRom and the Tegra 3 games :\ Anyways, James, we gotta get you this tablet if you don't already have it so you can drop some Smooth love for it. Hopefully we'll see you in the new N7 forum to :)

hi guys...

im using this ROM (v5.1) and motley kernel for a few months now.

just wondering, if ever i want to change kernels, can i just use the SmoothROM 5.1 zip file and simple choose a kernel from there?

or should i download a separate file for the kernel?!

I thought of it cause when i flash 5.1 it asked me what kernel to use

just thinkin....

tia
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Adinaky:
Well, you can choose between them, but afaik the 5.1 zip has older kernel versions, so it will be better if you download the kernel file separately.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bluviper:
do i need to do wipes when installing kernels?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
I'm almost positive that this rom does have the sqlite binary baked in. I'm just looking for confirmation. Thank You!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] swali77:
Its well documented in this thread that system ui FC's when 5.2 is dirty flashed over 5.1 because there is a change in the framework of the ROM itself. 5.1 over 5.1 is cool for a dirty flash. But not 5.1 - 5.2. Its your device, do whatever you want. I'll stick with what the dev says to do. If your wiping system you are erasing the ROM and that's not a dirty flash.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] willis936:
/system is like system32 to windows. It's where the os files are kept. /data is where apps and config are. It's a dirty flash if you don't do a factory reset and by extension format /data. I'm not saying you won't have issues if you dirty flash 5.2 over 5.1. I'm saying I haven't had issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] paul20:
first i would like to thanks for that rom and i want to ask if you pan to release a new version based on 4.3 android

thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azure Dragon:

one week i have the rom, today i had a problem with battery drain from mediaserver,what i have to do?

thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
I had the same, tried a lot of different stuff, formating sd card, re-installing rom, wiping everything, disabling google+, currents and whatnot. I really tried every suggestion I could find but nothing helped and betterbatterystats didn't tell me anything helpful. So I went back to stock and now my battery is great, 4 days with 7,5h screen on. 4.3 must've improved battery consumtion a lot. I read somewhere that some people suspected the mediaserver drain to be because of android wanting or trying to download the 4.3 update OTA despite being on a custom rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] paul20:
all of sudden fixed itself i will see if it gona happen again and i will do so
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ElAguila:

Hi,

Just wondering if you are going to make this rom available for the new nexus 7. I had it on my old nexus 7 and I loved it, it would be really cool if you got it on the new one. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nguoidungnq:
Hi developer of this "truely" smoothrom,

I share the sentiment with nicetaco.

I have great time with your 4.2.2 version

I've got the nexus 7 (2003 version), & tried quite a few roms BUT STILL MISS WHATEVER THE SMOOTHROM DOES TO THE OLD NEXUS :)

Thank you.

PS: it's not a prressure (I have no right to that), but just a SENTIMENT :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] alancai:
flash the version dated 0812, which is for 4.2.2, you should be fine.

For everyone asking about when is this rom going to be updated, if you have read through the thread you will see that the Rom will be updated once AOKP releases a 4.3 version. As far as I know, I have not seen an official 4.3 release on AOKP as of yet.

An update of this ROM would definitely be awesomee.

hands down the best N7 ROM

I'm not budging from this ROM until its next version comes out. A truly well named ROM, thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
I'm running cleanrom 4.0 which is based on stock 4.3, what's the best way to switch to this rom? Is it just full wipe in twrp then flash this rom then restore my user apps with titanium backup?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Essentrix:
Yes I generally do an advanced wipe choosing top 4 options then install and restore with titanium. Not sure what kennel you use but recommend purified - modified Franco. Of course don't restore any system apps with titanium. Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
so it is compatible even though im on 4.3 mate?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
The "best" way to flash this ROM is to use the JRom Flasher. Does a wicked full wipe. It is always "best" to install apps fresh.

Not the easiest way, nor the only way to work, but it is the best way.

Clean starts are always the best.

Not what people always want to hear though, so not always welcomed with open arms. You may successfully flash one rom to the next with less, but eventually you'll run into issues you may not be able to pin an origin on. Then you would be thankful for the "right" way.

I try to just make it a habit to do it the right way, and isn't ever a problem or "dificult" because it is the norm.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Essentrix:
I'm no expert but been using this method for years. I installed a number of 4.3 ROMs then came back to 4.2.2 same method and all good. As I said I'm not talking any system apps. Currently using Smooth and SlimROM 8. All performing nicely.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
This is an extremely solid recommendation! Making the commitment of doing things the "right way" will save you soooooo much time and unnecessary aggravation down the road.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
Does jrom wipe everything even things like photos or music or just all apps and there data?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Everything.

Back up your photos and music (important stuff should ALWAYS be backed up anyway ;))

I use DropBox to back up my photos automatically. Sign up here, and we both get free extra space!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] willis936:
Woah woah woah. Media should never be touched between flashes. If you're formatting the virtual SD then you're formatting the zips you want to flash.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
JRomFlasher.

Read up on it. It's in the OP.

That is what I'm talking about. Wiping everything, especially when coming from a different rom will take care of any inaccuracies that may occur in previous roms with naming, placement, format, etc. Problems in your virtual sd can cause apps (maybe system apps too) to act strange.

This is why there is a "right way" and the other way.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] willis936:
Where exactly in the OP does it tell you that formating the virtual SD is the right way? You should never have to do that and it's largely a waste of time. Apps don't rely on external storage. If anything it will lower I/O write speeds if you don't run fstrim after.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TiagoRigueto:
quote here please..

support for 2 users?? equals android 4.3???

my girlfriend and i, sharing nexus 7...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
The OP of the JROMFlasher thread states the tool will "Wipe allll your data. (System/Boot/Recovery/Userdata/sdcard)".

The author has stated many times that if you don't use the JROMFlasher, and have a problem, to use it.

What exactly does it mean to be a waste of time if it prevents problems? Have you heard of apps to sd? How about settings storage for apps stored on the sd? Are you sure that apps don't use the sd? I think they do.

I'm no dev, but I'm not a noob either. If the dev of a rom tells me to use the wipe tool, I think I should. If you think he's wrong, then don't use it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
FWIW, I flashed the old-fashioned way via TWRP, the way I've flashed all ROMs for my phone and tablet, and never had an issue with this ROM (aside from an unfortunate dirty flash from the last version to this one, but a normal full wipe and reflash resolved). Not once did I need to wipe the SD and have never been told by any other devs to do so. I appreciate the work that went into the JROMFlasher, but it is absolutely not necessary to flash this ROM successfully and you'll find many of us in this thread that can help you if the dev or others refuse to because you didn't follow the methods recommended in the OP. I'd tread that method as a last resort instead of the be-all-end-all method.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
The jromflasher2 is great for those that need it. It states in the first sentence of that thread that it's for new users that are not sure of how to "properly" wipe their device and correctly prepare to flash a new rom. Of course you have other options, and are not forced to use any one tool or method. I know for myself and the initial installation of custom roms on my N7 I used it, and it was very helpful. I was also not 100% sure about the right way to prepare my N7, having the internal sd. I was no newbie then either, just my prior experience was with phones having external sd. The big thing with wiping and the step tht often gets overlooked is the factory reset. It is especially important when the base of your new rom is different or even majorly updated. The jromflasher2 is just one tool that we have available, and it works well and serves it's purpose. I encourage people to use it if they have any question or doubt about how to flash a new rom on their N7. In my experience, the vast majority of "bugs" or issues with SmoothROM mostly all come back to dirty flashing or improper wiping/resetting. [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION] got so tired of that broken record that he did something to help fix it.

It looks like you keep wifi on, and probably have some apps that are syncing when screen off. I use Deep Sleep Battery Saver to turn off any connection when screen off and hibernate all apps. The battery barely drains and I have to charge it only once a week (with 4-5 hours of screen time). The only downside is that you won't receive notifications but I have a phone for that.

Maybe you can try what would happen if you use DS battery saver or Greenify or some similar app to hibernate the applications you don't use?

sometimes its just one or the other but ive had it happen with both aswell but glad i could help mate :)
