This looks like a very interesting ROM to try out.

What are the prereqs coming from a completely new untouched device?

Also, would be interesting to hear what people think are the main advantages with this ROM compared to stock?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
All you need is to install the ADB drivers & Java 7 on your PC/MAC and unlock using one of the toolkits. Then use JROMFlasher to wipe your data, flash custom recovery, upload the ROM to Tablet. Just make sure the tablet has debugging enabled in Android OS before using JROMFlasher. Give JROMFlasher time to do it's thing, sometimes it looks like the tool is stuck but it's not.

The ROM is quicker and smoother(just like the name says) than stock, not too flashy or cluttered with Mods. It's faster even with the stock kernel but using Brick kernel makes it much better. Try the ROM, you will like it...:)

Edit: Got the Nexus 7 installed and running good in my Hyundai Tiburon GT on SmoothRom 3.4 and all is well...I'm a happy camper!:D

Here's a video of the tablet in my car.....

I just got my Nexus 7 for about a week. The lagging issues really drive me crazy but after I installed this ROM, All those problems gone and it got faster!!

really appreciate your work, Thank you!!

Edit : only problem that I have faced now is that my Nexus is crazy hot after using it for a while, not like the Stock ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
I drove in my car all day in 90+ degree weather without any heat issues running ROM version 3.4 with Brick Kernel. What kernel are you using?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
Same here.. did a clean install using the Jromflasher

.. is there anyway to fix the DL speed in Google play store
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Popopinsel:
Google just released a new version of the Play Store (3.8.17 -> 3.9.16), so maybe it's related to that. Try installing the new gapps (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) which has the new Play Store.

Btw, loving the new option to remove app history entries! =)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaoran_ojo:
I am using Bricked Kernel too, but mine get hot pretty fast. (right now it's getting hotter and hotter again while I'm browsing) It's not a big problem anyway compare to the previous one.....but I will try to wipe everything and flash again later. (maybe that solve it.)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DataGov:
I just upgraded from 3.3 to 3.4 and changed kernels from bricked to Franco. Bricked ran hot. Everything is good except the gallery still doesn't update photos from the cloud. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yeah sure, just take away the folder /system/vendor/lib/drm and reboot :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
That will fix Google Play Movies, but make hulu+ not work....correct?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] neoblood3d:
I have installed smoothrom and like it very much. I have tested the kernels that are packaged with it and none of them seem to support USB audio for use with USB DAC. Can we get some interest brewing for this? The only kernel that I found that works with it is the older Poitee kernel but of course it will not function with the newer Roms. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cocos2000:
Somehow the only kernel that I can try this rom with is Bricked Kernel, all others stuck on logo, total wipe not helping, and its not even possible to get back to recovery... When flashing again I am getting "some symlinks error" message... After using Nexus Toolkit, installed with Bricked Kernel option and I am pretty surprised with Smoothie. Anyone could naybe post I/O result from Quadrant with Bricked Kernel? I am getting only 1800+ points result... thanks again to Dev! Love the tablet GUI!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iamhcg:
Hi, this is the first time I choose the TabletUI, but the wallpaper seemed to be a different size? The stock size is 1600X1280, but this one seemed to be longer and flatter. Does anyone knows what's the proper size for tabletUI wallpaper? thanks so much.

OK, I am gonna answer myself. I just tried it out. The proper wallpaper size for tableUI is 1900X1280.

I'm seeing random reboots with Bricked. Anyone else?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kiwiwiwi:
I had one random reboot since yesterday. Using 3.4 and Bricked.

Bigger problem for me is that I can't update any app in Playstore. It just starts to download but there is no progress bar or anything just saying "downloading..."

Installed after a full wipe. Using StockUI and Bricked. Installed gapps update already. Anybody with help?

This ROM is - by the way - really fast and good. Thanks a lot.

How do you flash this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
I had the same read/write issue. Back up your data to your PC first and use JROM to flash and wipe your card completely.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zcostilla:
First, did a Titanium backup for only the apps which the data was critical (i.e. not stored in the cloud). Then I did a full unroot/return to stock. After that I unlocked the bootloader again just to be sure that the memory was fully wiped again. Next, I just started over. Using the toolkit, I rooted and installed the custom recovery. Then, I downloaded SmoothRom and it was smooth sailing. Once the ROM was setup, I downloaded Titanium and flashed those apps again, and downloaded the rest from the Play Store.

Zac

(Please hit "THANKS!" if this helped)

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

What kind of wipe did you do? Using the recovery didn't work for me. I needed to start all over again. If you don't have current backups then you may be out of luck if you have app data that isn't synced in the cloud. If you have the titanium AND either google drive, box, or the dropbox apps installed, then you may be able to sync your most recent backup to the cloud.

I ued a toolkit (I used Wug's because the other one wasn't playing weill with my son's antivirus) to go back to stock, relock and unlock the bootloader, root, and flash custom recovery. Then I downloaded SmoothROM 3.4 and it was smooth sailing.

Hey James,

On 3.1 and 3.4 using bricked kernel, I get random reboots. Often times it in when I plug in the device. Is this the kernel's fault? Either way, any idea how to fix it? Thanks

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yes probably :/ Bricked Kernel is new, it might have some bugs but it is smooth as hell :)

Np :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
I'm on a Macbookpro running OSX 10.6.8 which doesn't have Java 7 (for 32 bit) so that tool doesn't work. Does JROM work for any N7 ROM?

If so, may need to borrow a PC.

How did you do the full unroot/return? Were you able to do it on a MAC or use a PC?

Thanks to both of you appreciate your help
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Returning to full unroot doesn't do anything. yes my JROMFlasher works for any rom :p But I believe this java should work :) http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
James, not sure if you saw this post, but Java 7 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later and administrator privileges.

Do you know any work around/fixes?

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Thank you, appreciate your help and smarts but these look like these are not for 32 bit. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

Which one would you recommend installing?

Anyone get this to work on a MAC running 10.6.8?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
Thank you so much for the heads up to a total Noobie!! I did exactly that and now my playstore downloads much faster! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
I see a lot of reboots and SOD's with the latest batch of Roms with both bricked and Franco kernels. Wonder if the code from 4.1.2 is causing issues?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
There is chatter in the Franco thread about SOD's (r22 and before) but since I installed r23 it has been clean.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
About reboot/sod, I didn't have any but it is probably because the max uptime my tablet has is like 2 hours since I keep wiping it every test I does. But it ia for sure caused by custom kernels

Then in bootloader, plug in usb cable to computer and press reboot to recovery.

Have you tried disabling) fsync? It's possible to do by an init.d script and can massively increase io scores (which means faster market downloads etc).

However I'm not sure if this ROM has init.d script support so I haven't flashed it yet. I hope it will be included in a future update :
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
It would be most appreciated. :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] B-Man2005:
does this rom have all the I/O boost scripts inside ?

Android 4.1.1 (JRO03D) thats the newest stock rom right ?

sorry for noobility

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

rom doesnt boot :( 2.2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
So in addition to the question on what the best kernel is for this ROM, which I found that you can easily dirty flash over itself or 2.1 with no ill effects(so far)... Is it better to have "Force 2D Rendering" on or off? It would sound like having it on would be good, but then I would assume that if that was the case that it(and others) would come that way... haha
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
My personal experience so far with the kernels is a little confusing. I got great benchmarks on the custom kernels (motley was very high) but I also had a lot of glitches with the touch screen and some lag in games. The stock kernel looks like a dog in the benchmarks but is very smooth on real use and I've had no problems in the games or with the screen anytime. So, I would suggest trying a few and comparing their performance in the tasks you do most often.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] th3xeroeagle:
Cool rom, but I miss my themes will you be implementing themes support? .:p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
Cool, I guess it is easy enough to test out, just reinstall the ROM over itself but pick a different kernel in Aroma...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yeah I know it's kinda annoying because I can't really fix that :p But I will be adding 'Recovery' into the power menu :)

Same here :P UI Seeems smoother with Stock x) even if the benchmarks are worse xD

Sorry I will probably not adds this :/ I want to keep the rom as clean as possible, sorry ^^
[Nexus 7 Android Development] B-Man2005:
why is this rom so slow ?

it even has no init.d folder

benchmarks are bad...why sio scheduler ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
Quick kernel update. It seems I only get the problems consistently with motley. I have no idea why but I've tried faux and trinity which gave me slightly higher benchmarks over stock and everything ran well. I'm going to do a final test by flashing the kernel back to stock and then a straight flash of motley but I don't have high hopes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cynikalJ:
This rom works flawlessly and is super smooth with great battery life using the Franco kernel. Benchmarks mean essentially nothing in real world affairs. Overclocking is nice and all but as evident on this forum, causes a lot of issues. I suggest the people with problems try stock or Franco. At any rate spectacular rom! My new daily
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
The ROM isn't slow, you have done something wrong on your side.

Thanks for the feedback. Next update, Motley kernel wont be the default kernel as it seems to sucks even if it was the one with best benchmarks. The second best kernel was franco and it looks to be smoother :)

Agree?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pmgreen:
Going to give this a try, is there an option to install franco now, or wait til the update?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:

Use stickmount from the market to Mount your flash drive
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zcostilla:
I know that unrooting itself didn't, but I wanted a fresh wipe and I chose to relock and unlock the bootloader to do it. To accomplish this, I chose to return to stock and start all over.

I went this route for a reason. The wipe features in the recovery didn't work and I went with something I KNEW would get it done. Not saying my way is the only right way, or even the best or easiest, but I knew it would work so I felt it was right for me.

What's the Nexus import app? I just assumed I still need Stickmount to use my USB OTG cable and drive. Stickmount needs root. I didn't even try it without Stickmount.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hi,

It is a common issue with Nexus 7.

Go into fast boot and type

fastboot format system

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery 'your recovery file IMG'

Should fix the issue

Like I said, it doesn't do anything I don't say it is a long way but it really doesn't get the job done :P that's not the right way to do it ;)

For error reports, none of them are present, it is just you guys :P use my JROMFlasher to get rid of your issues ;)

The only known issue is Google Play Video (can be solved by deleting /system/vendor/lib/DRM but breaks Hulu Plus compatibility)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] truthkillszz:
Still doesnt work every time i enter one of the fastboot commands i get a command write failed unknown error. I really do not know what i am doing wrong i never had this issue before on any device
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lmulli:
Any chance we might see a version of this Rom without the Gapps being included to get the file size down? Also, is it possible to implement the CM10 script that backs up and reinstalled Gapps after each update save having to reinstall them each time?

Ta.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jarrick:
Are you able to get into the bootloader? If you can, then I would suggest you try using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit.

I had a similar issue and resolved it with this program. Choose the Back to Stock button "Flash Stock and Unroot" Check the status "Can't Boot up" and let it run. Everything should sort itself out, then later you can re-root and reinstall the Rom again.

Edit: Seems that some people are having issues with the new bootloader. Also try the instructions in this thread if you're stil having issues.
