Would it be possible to force a phablet UI on some apps for a next update? Also, is there going to be a new tablet UI beta for the next update? This rom is excellent, much better than paranoid android in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
Anyone getting SOD on this? If I'm away from the n7 for a few hours, it requires a reboot to turn on.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
Is this rom available for Samsung galaxy S3
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha well I have no cell phone anymore because I need to get a laptop x) #Economy Mode
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Unsure to understand your issue
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DaRkRaGe:
There's an issue with the camera. Open it and try to change the resolution from the settings. The app crashes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Alexmessy:
I experienced the same problem
[Nexus 7 Android Development] d0wnti.me:
+1 on this issue
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IRASadPanda:
There's a fix for that floating around here some here, if you can't find it I'll attach it

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

This ROM has init.d support right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yes it does but it depends on the kernel but they should all have the support ;)

Oh well I got it, I will see if I can fix this camera issue
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hungragezone:
sometimes my N7 suddenly turned off when i didn't use it

and i must hold power button for a long time to turn on it

anyone experienced this bug @@?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Deusex74:
Yes,i have this too.when tablet is in standby for several hours i have to reboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vimesUK:
^^^^ I have only had that happen since I have flashed this latest version of the ROM as a clean flash. The prior version was fine and never did it. Default install with the bricked kernel.

It tends to happen when the tablet has been left for a while before being used again, but it is not consistent.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
I asked the same question as the last three posts on the prior page. No response, but glad it's not just on mine
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hungragezone:
damn, i am playing Gun strike and pause for a while. when i come back (3 mins later) my N7 turned offf ???
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goofball2k:
No problems with standby. I've left it over the course of a weekend and it woke up. I typically don't use it after 2pm on weekdays, and if it is used, it's used until at 8pm at latest and not used again until around 9am the next day.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vimesUK:
^^^^^ Most of the time it is just the same for me, it is just on the odd occasion that it will not wake up, as though it has shut itself off. It doesn't seem to be time dependant either.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
It is caused by the kernel you chose, probably Bricked Kernel
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hungragezone:
i have the same prolem in v 3 with a kernel (not bricked) which i didn't remember exactly
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
I've only seen this on the Bricked and Franco kernels (the most recent Franco r23 seems fine) and I've tried them all extensively. I'd suggest trying a different kernel and if you see no change then do a fresh (see James' tool) install with the stock kernel and see if your problem goes away.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
Using Franco r23 here and it has happened only once to me after being on standby overnight.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
My guess is that they change few stuff that could works better with some device and worse with others ;)

I'm using Clemsyn Battery Saver and Never had any issue so far :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] _Gir_:
Just installed this from PA. Love it, gonna hang here for a while.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gherman222:
BEST ROM

I love SmoothROM. It is the best... tweaks, speed, etc. Hands down, the best custom ROM for my Nexus 7 (and I look often!) Thanks to the Dev!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rfs830:
How do I keep my wifi on all the time. it keep turning off. I cant find how to change that setting
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aLPaSLaN07:
Is it turned off when screen is switched off? If so;

Settings–>wifi–> menu(three dots on upper right)->advanced–>keep wifi on during sleep enabled
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Juicy07:
I, for the life of me, cannot get this ROM to install.

I have tried every suggestion, and each time it's the same result, I get stuck at the boot animation.

Using the Nexus Root Toolkit, I have flashed to stock, unlocked bootloader, rooted with custom recovery and installed the ROM. I tried every single kernel available on the ROM after repeating the same process over and over again.

I am ALWAYS wiping cache before installing the ROM.

I tried JROM Flasher, same deal.

Any suggestions or am i doomed to have the stock ROM forever?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Robin2:
The first boot takes significantly more time than a normal boot, keep that in mind.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lamzor:
hmm, just installed this ROM with Bricked Kernel and i couldn't open any video(tried 4 mkvs on my storage).

tried BS,Dice,MX. error every time. for example: video problem "can't play this video".

trying to reinstall the ROM with Franco.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goofball2k:
Are you doing a factory reset to wipe data as well?

As others have noted, it does take a long time for first boot, how long are you waiting?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aLPaSLaN07:
It does not even take 1minute. How did you guys come up with that? (yes I'm talking about first boot..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Juicy07:
Yep, I have been doing a factory reset to wipe data also. I've left it running for ages (like 30min+). Usually, I leave it for about 15min before I give up and realise and that's it's just not going to boot.

In saying this though, and completely ****ing random, but it's actually finally booted. Strangest timing ever. I thought I would give it one more go, so I did, it only took about 2 or 3min and now I'm at the Welcome screen.

It only took like... 15 tries before it worked. :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goofball2k:
Mine took longer, not sure. Or maybe it just seemed longer since I was staring at it waiting :silly:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lamzor:
im using Franco r23 with this ROM for 12hours and my tablet turned off 3 times already. i think i will try full wipe and stock kernel.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timfimjim:
Yeah I've had my tablet dying on me since the update to 4.0

Perhaps it would be more stable on AOSP instead of CM10
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lamzor:
what about stock kernel? or did you downgrade?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Voiid:
I just installed this rom on my N7. I searched an didn't see anything about this so here it is: Aroma installer works perfectly on TWRP. First time using this installer, it is pretty freaking awesome!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Popopinsel:
Need for Android 4.2!! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ant_thomas:
Are there any other mirrors? Faster ones?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Larrivee013:
Well from what I know there is only goo, because james wants to keep track of the number of downloads.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ant_thomas:
No worries, I've waited and got it downloaded now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Larrivee013:
Nice! Hope you like it!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hope you like :)

For reboot issue, it is caused by custom kernel, custom kernels may be better for some device and worse for others ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aLPaSLaN07:
I had no reboot issue with bricked kernel.. Just wanted to let you guyz know. It is the best kernel out there (also franco r23) You should not look around for best kernel. Just use that one..

Also is there a disable/enable switch of tabletUI? I'm used to phoneUI and want to revert back to it..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lamzor:
good to know. i didnt have any problem with custom stable kernels on previous devices. i hope it will be fixed in next versions :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Wich are you using?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timfimjim:
Ok I've reinstalled the rom with stock kernel. Will report back :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] I Am Marino:
Just got my N7 today, first ROM flashed, highly pleased.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Voiid:
Is there an easy way to use the installer of this rom but without flashing the rom like to switch kernels / change to stock ui? Lol or should I just reflash the whole rom wiping and everything?

Update : why did it put Tom every where I wanted rom haha
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.dre:
I'll really appreciate it if you can work it out! Either ways I'm just loving this ROM! It's exactly what I want
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
It would be nice, I can't promise I will success. ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shuvarts:
Hi, im wondering if the rom has init.d support? I was looking at Jay's thread to improve smoothness and battery life and I wanted to try it; but, I'm not sure if this rom has init.d support. I looked through the thread and haven't found any information about it. So, can someone tell me how do I know/check if the rom has init.d support, and how do i add init.d support if it's not included in the rom?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sabesh:
Does the launcher work in Landscape mode?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] boynamedstacy:
Curious about init.d as well......

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
There is no init.d support. But yeah I will learn how to add it :) shouldn't be too hard :)

If you mean with the Tablet UI? Yes :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Running SmoothROM on AOSP J3O03R, soo SMOOTH :D Still have works to do ^^
[Nexus 7 Android Development] busterdan:
This is by far the best ROM I have used on my Nexus 7... but the sound issues are driving me made....

I'm suffering the "speaker crackle"..... it sounds like the speakers are blown but I know this is not the case from previous ROMs that I have flashed. The forums are awash with similar messages about the N7 speaker and how ROM's seem to affect this... or perhaps it is the Kernal (Motley in my case). Suffice to say I haven't found a way around it yet... really frustrating because the ROM is brilliant otherwise.

Also and I think this is a general Android issue, is Bluetooth Audio delay - again I am not sure how to resolve this one, for general music listening it isn't a problem but video and especially games it is... For example playing Bards Tale, the speech cuts off just before the last two words are spoken... similar thing with sound effects that happen after you just slashed someone in half (not good!).... any idea's please?...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
Just installed this ROM and it is looking good. But i am missing google Now. Wich i really like.

Did i do something wrong? Or is it really missing?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hi,

I have no sound issue, it is really your device but yeah you could try another kernel. If I were you, I would get a replacement

Google Now is working on my side, can't tell you why :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
Strange. Installed it with tablet UI beta 2 and motley kernel.

What did you use?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
flashed your rom yesterday and it seems to work really well!

One thing I noticed is that you can't update apex launcher via play store. It says "Error Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Whatever I install, it works :/ Do you mind waiting for the next version comming this week ? :) it should be fine :)

Hmm probably because it is installed as a system apps. But yeah I didn't want it to get updated because it would overwritte the stuffs I changed in it :P If you dont care about the change I've done in it, you could download the update apk and replace it in /system/app. Dont forget to set back permissions to 0644. Or you could just wait it will be updated in next update of smoothrom :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
I'll wait! it's not that important to have the latest version immediately. BTW tablet UI seems to work very good too, I haven't had any issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :) the only current issue is the space between icons but I dont think it can be fixed since the grid size must change if we rotate since the screen size would not be the same :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
yep in portrait mode there is a lot of space wasted sort of speak.

It also is funny to see that i really like to hold it in portrait mode. And a 10" tablet i prefer landscape.

still. keep up the good work.

Also, is there a change to change the CPU speed using a govener or something?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yeah if you use a custom kernel :P I suggest you to use SetCPU from Google Play Store :) But by the way. you do know you can change the grid size ? :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
How can i change the grid size then?

I don't see an option inside the rom.

Perhaps the flash didn't go a 100% right (as i am also missing google now).

Did do a full wipe before flashing though
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mohad.O.F:
my quadrant is 3800 with smoothrom and Motley kernel why

in the picture in the topic You said quadrant is 5800
[Nexus 7 Android Development] blue0302:
You can usually change the grid size in Apex or Nova or whatever-launcher-you-use settings under 'homescreen settings'
[Nexus 7 Android Development] milkk:
Installed CleanROM before realizing there was no more work done on it lol so I'm going to give this bad boy a try now on new Nexus 7 32GB I picked up today.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Just been thinking I could probably make this possible, to change stuff without reinstalling the whole rom x)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] milkk:
WoW so far so good this is nice. I also have a Transformer Infinity so having a device that's fast to begin with is a new feeling and with this Rom it's even faster!!!!! I love it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mgsstar:
ROM Update

Are you adding Bravia Engine to the update?

And also when Android 4.2 comes out, will you be using AOSP or CM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shuvarts:
James mention the next update (when it was still 3.4 to 4.0) is going to have bravia; but it's not in the changelog on the first post. Although some people said it does have bravia, james himself hasn't conformed that 4.0 has bravia....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.dre:
Would really love it if android 4.2 based ROM would be based on AOSP!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] neoblood3d:
I'm pretty sure the Bravia engine in already included. 4.0 has been running great on my N7 with Trinity Kernel. I had a lot of weird issues with Bricked and a couple of the other popular kernels.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ItachiLvrX:
This is the first and only ROM i've flashed on my N7 and I absolutely love it. I have Tablet UI, and Bricked Kernel and it's just amazing. Stock Browser is better than Chrome too. Thank you so much =)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keith.valdez:
I love this rom. I've used lots of roms and lots of devices and this is the best one I've ever used. I play a lot of games and use a lot of emulators on my N7 and this is by far the fastest rom for those purposes. Paranoid Android would stutter a lot when I was playing N64 games and this one is just buttery smooth. Keep up the good work!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Bravia Engine is already added :P and probably CM ;)

Wow thanks you :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timfimjim:
Only been a day but so far much better on stock kernel, no reboots. Seems smoother than bricked was which is weird! But I'mloving it . Such a good experience:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks for the feedback :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jetdite:
Hi,

Could you implement a full screen (extended desktop) to the power menu?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaoran_ojo:
hi, using this rom for a couple weeks now and I start having problem just a few days ago. I normally charged my phone during night and unplug when I woke up. The problem is my N7 randomly shutdown (not restart). I have to press power just to reboot every morning and now it also happens when I turn off screen for a couple hours. Anyone have faced this problem before? Is it rom related? I'm going to flash and wipe everything again tonight, hope that help.

the rom is good btw :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lamzor:
this is quite common problem called SOD(sleep of death) and its not ROM problem, but kernel problem. i have been reading some topics and upping minimum clock speed to 200mhz seems to work in some cases. also try turning WIFI ALWAYS ON, or disabling location services.

i had terrible SOD problems so i reflashed with stock kernel because i have no time for testing now. thats the only solution if all above fail. otherwise this ROM is pretty much perfect.

edit: solutions are from franco kernel topic.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
Are you using Bricked kernel? That can cause it, the dev is working on it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lamzor:
unfortunately both bricked and franco have SOD problems :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] talt:
I've had this problem on franco. I'm now on "Clemsyn Elite Battery Saver" and I didn't have shutdown in 8 days and counting.

Impressive kernel IMO, good with battery life + fast.

I'm impressed with the ROM as well it's fast lots of options, everything works etc. Only problem I have is somewhat erratic automatic brightness. It cannot be changed manually (settings crashes if I try to edit custom levels) and default is not that good.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sayeef:
+1
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
I like that kernel a lot, I think of it as my "daily driver" (the one I can always rely on), although lately I use M-kernel with Jays buttery mod most.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] milkk:
I have been using it this for 2 days now and it's working great so far great rom!!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I do not have this issue on my side btw :p

I might add expanded desktop into smoothrom, unsure yet since it is a HUGE pain to code on a old pentium 2 computer. Last time it took me 2 days compiling SmoothROM project, whish my laptop didn't break, it was taking 5 hours before
[Nexus 7 Android Development] talt:
I've found workaround in some other thread. I can edit custom levels if I set number of levels to 20 (all other numbers will break automatic backlight) apart from that light sensor filter should be turned off since it has some bug with low light. After that I can edit custom levels and I'm happy with a backlight.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
If I'm flashing from Paranoid Android do I need to do a full wipe? Or is dalvik and cash enough?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Highly recommend to wipe, the rom should boot fine but you would have some weird settings ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] I Am Marino:
After two days of use, I have yet any reason to try out any other ROM, battery is great with the battery saving kernel and the ROM flies.

Good job.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] espionage724:
Wouldn't it be faster if the ROM was odexed? I believe I heard that deodexed is good for themers, but odxes gives best performance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skrewie:
Hey love this rom stable as a rock ! And fast like a lightning :) I use briked kernel.....great work ! Now i love my nexus 7.......... peace !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Odexed is faster on first boot ;) once the device is booted, it has no effect because the dalvik-cache deodexed all single app in /data/dalvik-cache ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] EhHowzit808:
Bought my N7 on Halloween, rooted and installed this ROM immediately when I got home. Loving the speed and great battery life. Can't wait for the next ROM update.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Can't wait to be done too xD Takes around 36 hours to build -_-
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
This rom is aptly named ;)

I've installed using stock UI. Is there a way to change top tablet without relflashing the rom?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Allot of positive feedback on this thread.

Here's some more, Great ROM smooth, stable and good battery life. What else can an Android user ask for?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dr.chucky:
Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, but I haven't seen anything pertaining to my question in the last few pages. I want to ask how I can get the lockscreen to rotate like in the stock ROM. I didn't see any settings for that. Besides that this rom is awesome, only been using it for a few hours though
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goofball2k:
Settings -> Display -> Rotation.

I've been using bricked kernel (v0.55) since I loaded this about a week ago and no problems at all with waking it up. Like most other ROM's, it does not wake up if I have a USB drive connected when it is in sleep and I pull the drive.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yiwsg:
Where is the download link?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] quakermaas:
Bottom of the OP, big blue writing, says DOWNLOAD :cyclops::p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha well the computer crashed during the build lol :P it was pretty much done.. :/ For some reason now, it refuses to repo sync so starting from scratch :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Voiid:
So the first time I flashed this I flashed the bricked kernel and tablet ui. Everything seemed to be fine I noticed some lag here and there I thought it was just how my devices has been since the 4.1.2 update. Did some googling and found out an app called Forever Gone can help with this Android bug. Did that and it helped some lag but I felt like it was still there. Some one posted that the stock kernel was smoother and I saw that the nexus 10 uses the phablet ui too and I missed it

So I bit the bullet and reflashed this ROM with the stock kernel and the stock ui and omg everything/all my problems have been fixed! Smooth Smooth Smooth!!! Not sure if it was the stock kernel or stock ui that fixed it but this is amazing!

For example Flipboard was acting really weird before now it performs amazingly. Chrome had like this lag when opening pages withing the settings all that is fixed. I love this ROM thank you thank you thank you! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Maybe try in safe mode?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
The computer rebooted fine lol :p I mean that repo sync would fail just like if the project was corrupt. Anyway, I redownloaded the Sources and reapplied all the changes we had before. It is compilling right now :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pack21:
Fantastic and smooth Rom.

Thx.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gintariukeas:
How is the battery life compared to stock?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
A bit better :) and even more with ClemsynBatterySaver kernel
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Installed using tablet UI, is it possible to install stock UI without reflashing ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Well just reflash SmoothROM without wiping (except cache) and it should be alright ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Any problems if I unchecked gapps and any other extras?, will they still be installed?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
The reason I want to avoid reflash is because I h have my system apps all organized
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gintariukeas:
Thanks I love this ROM so far!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
No they won't ;) I replied your PM please read it :)

Expect SmoothROM v4.1 today ! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nickster1:
You are the man James. Thank you.
