What does the change to cyanogenmod mean for user experience?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
Can anybody help me with this hope you notice what I mean
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Settings > display > rotation > include lock screen check box
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mgsstar:
Fastest Kernel?

Which Kernel is fastest for this rom? There's no Mothley Kernel.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Go to Nova Launcher settings and change the amount of rows to add another one
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 123egg:
I can't add a camera shortcut in lockscreen

When I try to add, nothing was shown there

Is that a cm10 bug or what?

Other than that, the ROM is smooth and nice. Thx for this update!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Udonitron:
Just flashed the battery saving option...it looks like the tablet is stock with my folders etc being gone, no Nova launcher etc.

I assume that is normal?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goku16:
It might sounds like a dumb question, but I see this ROM have regular update, do I just flash the new ROM in cwm, without wiping anything? Or some other way?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] _Johnito_:
People, please read posts above you, at least some of them. This question is asked every 5 post or so right now. And the answer is YES, it is highly recommended to do a full wipe,

especially

for this new version. It is based on CyanogenMod while the last one used AOSP.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Cm10, according to the change log.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keplenk:
Hi all,

Is there a way to modify the Nav Bar? Like add search or maybe menu? I'm not using the tablet mode.

Thank you.

EDIT - nevermind I found it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Ugh! What comes around goes around! The reason I'm not going for these CM10 based ROMs because the USB is always mounted as RO. Can you disable this automatically mounting feature, James? Or just go straight for mounting as RW. Something to do in /system/etc/vold.fstab maybe? That'd be awesome. Tyvm.

Oh and don't disable the ADB notification by default. Thanks for the update btw :good:

For now, I'm going back to v3.4 :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] daddyscooltv:
So which kernel are most people using with this ROM? I've looked up the kernels and I am looking for more performance than battery life.

I think bricked would be my best choice.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Bricked kernel. From what I've read in that thread, the next version is going to be pretty sweet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cocos2000:
Some of us (including me) flashed over 3.4, no problems so far after 1 day of heavy use. Just backup Nova launcher settings as they were cleared.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frangall:
Bravia Engine included?

Hello James, is Bravia Engine included in this rom?

Thankyou for your awesome work
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
v3.4 was based on AOSP. v4.0 is based on CM10. Coming from 2 completely differently based ROMs, I think we should do a full wipe for the best performance :good:

Yes it is!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] luvtorev:
Can anyone help me with picasa sync? I asked before but did not get an answer, don't care about camera enhancements. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
I think James answered this earlier. I believe he said that the stock gallery will sync and the other one has the enhancements but doesn't sync.

Update, here is his reply to your earlier post:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] luvtorev:
Right but how or where do I get the stock galley? That is what I'm not understanding. Thanks again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rody2k6:
Awesome, and do you have 720p recording in the rom?

Also if I use the Nexus toolkit and do a backup of apps and data, can I use its restore function, to duh, restore my apps instead of using Titanium?

There is the unoficial motley for 4.1.2, I could use it right?

Also is Chrome in this rom?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rapscallion16:
I've been considering this ROM for awhile, but I didn't like the fact that it used Nova Launcher (I prefer Apex or Stock) and that it forced Boat Browser to be installed. Also, it just didn't have enough customization options. 4.0 addressed all my issues, and am happily using it now! :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
Found this on Google+ for Cyanogenmod:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1b2y7t2r5j4vxn2/GalleryGoogle.apk

This is the discussion link, the original link to the file is about half way down.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] oldlight:
Thanks, but how about apks that is added later on?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] luvtorev:
Thanks I'll see how this works out.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
720p recording is included in this release! :good:

Chrome is optional

You could use the unofficial _motley for this since it's been updated for JB4.1.2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
I seem to need help downloading this ROM. When I click on the link I just see a lots of characters on the webpage, no zip file. Can someone help me please?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
Thanks for this!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
James, seems like you forgot Google Play Services, right? :D

If you already hid the Dev Tools from Launchers, why didn't you get rid of Settings > Dev Options > Launch Tools too, James? LOL
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha well it is hidden because I had many request for disabling it :p It is just a line I added into the build.prop if you really wish to see it back :p USB in Read-Only ? Do you mean in Windows computer ? Because in Mac/Linux it doesn't mount at all you gotta use adb :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Why do you say that :p ? It is these gapps :p : http://goo.im/gapps CM10 2012/10/11
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Naah, I'm asking about the USB OTG, James. By default, it is mounted as RO, not RW. We need to go to Settings to "Unshare" it, then use another app to remount it again as RW T___T

Oh yeah, don't worry about the ADB notification. I can totally re-enable it myself. Not a problem =D

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

So they missed it? LMAO! Let me check the source again :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha just checked and it is there :p

Hmm about the USB Mount I will check if I can do something :) At least it is better then not mounting at all :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Nyahahaha, they didn't put it in either. So you didn't actually forget it. LOL

About the mount point, can we do anything in /system/ect/vold.fstab James?

About faux's kernel, we could use this beta @ http://faux.androidro.ms/grouper-faux123-kernel-v012b6es.zip or http://faux.androidro.ms/grouper-faux123-kernel-v012b6.zip. They have been updated to work on JB4.1.2. There are also beta 7 and 8, but there are currently some issues with those 2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
GmsCore? That's for GMail right? If yes well it is installed as a user app instead ;)

Edit :

Google Play Services (GmsCore.apk) is now in the play store, presumably so google can add more functionality to it in the future without waiting for carrier OTAs to update the system app. Version 1.0.13.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Oh it's in Play Store now? COOL!!!!! Thanks James :victory:

ps: where is "in Play Store" >.>

Wait, I've just tried to install it through ADB. There's one existing already... Must be a user app somewhere...

ps: It is automatically updated by Google. LOL. However, we need this as a system app, I guess :|
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I'm done codding my JROMFlasher ! Look the instruction on my first post or my signature ! It makes flashing rom really easy :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Alright so I have school during the week so I will not have as much time as I did during the weekend.

I've started to work on the Power Menu to get the reboot recovery/bootloader.

Just wondering, should SmoothROM be based on latest AOSP(Android Open Source Project written by Google) Android 4.1.1r6 Sources which includes all latest bugs fixes?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ChaOConnor:
Great work, thank you!

For what it's worth I think the latest AOSP is always a good move, especially on a Nexus device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks for reply :) I will check if I can do a poll

1-0 for AOSP :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cynikalJ:
+1 for aosp here to
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Brody5:
Latest AOSP all the way.

Just wanted to say that this rom is probly the best on the nexus 7 for me at the minute.

Im going to be using this Rom for along time.

Well done matey. :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
I get best performance and smoothest operation with Motley kernel. Franco gave me stutters.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Popopinsel:
This! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks you ! Please vote on the poll :D

Edit : 25 VS 5. AOSP is winning hehe ^^ I will be starting downloading it on my computer today ! Going to be long :P 13GB ! Well not too long because this week my connection is :

Edit 2 : Download started ^^ I'm going to sleep so yeah should be done when I wake up tomorow. Unsure if I will have time to make changes + upload a new version tomorow. I have lots of work to do on this build and I've school wich doesn't leave me much time :P

Edit 3 : Building to test AOSP Pure Androidr4 JRO03R (Yep Stock is JRO03D) (This mean AOSP is much newer build :) ) Build if everything is fine before boosting sutff :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.dre:
Is there a way I can use Apps like Google earth and Books on this ROM ? As I live in India so I don't get these apps when I flash this ROM and I really want to use this ROM!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shuvarts:
Hi, is google now not working on this ROM? I did wipe system, data, and cache before installing the ROM and now the search bar widget wont do anything when i click it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] defianceofchaos:
Yes google now works, try downloading google search on the play store. It wasnt installed when I flashed the rom as well.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Brody5:
You have to download it from the play store since its not installed in the rom after flashing. Hope this helps...... I see someone has already said this lmao
[Nexus 7 Android Development] andywright1982:
Seems to run very well. Have come from paranoid android and have to say it is a lot smoother. Looking forward to the update
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Brody5:
I know this is a fairly now Rom. But is there any sigs floating about for this?... i would love to change my current sig for it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks for the feedback ! :)

Hi,

Can't you install them from the Google Play Store ? I took away some Google apps that I could download from the market.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timfimjim:
You can flash a gapps zip (one you'd flash for cm10).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Nah Google Apps are already included in my ROM, I dont recommand flashing this. I will upload some Google's apk that I removed so he can install them :) )
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.dre:
Thanks for the reply dude! But I backed up the apps(Google books and earth) from the stock ROM and I restored them on this it showed me the apps after the restore and they were working but as soon as I switched on the WiFi they just disappeared(They still show in Titanium backup app list). I just tried MCR Jr7 and I'm able to use the Apps in it even after switching on the WiFi.

*Edit - I just read a comment in the MCR thread. It said that the ROM makes the tablet think its in the US! Maybe that's the reason i'm able to use earth and books apps here.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hmm that sucks, some apps are blocked in your region even if you install them. On my side they show up on my market :( I was about to upload the apps I removed but looks like you were faster then me :P Unsure how to get rid of that limitation :( I will read on the net and see if I can patch this in my following update
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Okay I have some suggestions for the next update, James :fingers-crossed:

Include Google Play Services into /system/app/

Remove Settings > Dev. Options > Launch tools

Include DSP Manager with Beats @ http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1224164&d=1343351005 (This one ain't with Beats)

Include faux's kernel [Enhanced Stock version] http://faux.androidro.ms/grouper-faux123-kernel-v012b6es.zip [Ultimate version] http://faux.androidro.ms/grouper-faux123-kernel-v012b6.zip

Include Sony Walkman Engine :confused:

Oh sh!t, the compressed rar is 21.3MB. I'll give you a link for it later, James

ps: here is the link for Sony Walkman Engine, James. http://www.mediafire.com/?24xs73v77b7xy23. It's not flashable. It's just simply compressed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hi :P Thanks for all of your requests :p

1) Why should I need to include Google Play Services if it is already embedded ? :p

2) What would be the point of removing "Remove Settings > Dev. Options > Launch tools" ?

3) Well Beats Audio doesn't even use DSP Manager anymore and I prefer DSPManager over it. Also it really makes no difference on my side x)

4) faux kernel : Wow thanks I didn't know there was newer version over there ! :)

5) Never heard of it and can't find any info either :p I need feedback before adding this :p Also what is it supose to do?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
You can switch launchers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
No problem :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] prestige777:
Does this ROM allow you to change navigation bar color and change soft key icons?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
You can add/remove/change Navigation Bar buttons but not change color :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] prestige777:
Thanks for the prompt reply, ;) That's my only pet peeve on my tablet, I hate the black navigation bar and dingy white soft keys. I guess only the PA ROMs have this feature right now. I liked your last build, it was really smooth and lite, if I could change the navigation bar color and soft key icons it would be perfect. Keep up the good work, you have a very nice ROM going here ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Sorry, I'm Jon btw :D

1. Okay so just forget about the Google Play Services. LOL

2. I see you already hid the Dev Tool in the drawer. I think it would be a bit cleaner if we remove "Launch tools" entry since the Dev Tool isn't in the drawer. The only way to access it is through this "Launch tools"

3. Okay so just forget about Beats Audio. LOL

4. well...

5. There are so many purposes of Sony Walkman Engine. There are also tons of app coming with Sony Walkman Engine as well though. You can just download the .rar I've provided and take a look. So many "plugins" to use in there, as well as lib and permission. The main purpose of Sony Walkman Engine is to make the sound louder and clearer. You can also take a look at this sub, James http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks you :) PA may have more features but he probably didn't spent has much time as I did in making the rom clean and smooth :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] prestige777:
No worries, I'll figure it out eventually, I figured out how to unpack systemui and replace the icons, but I can't get them to take, I haven't gotten into changing navigation bar color, although I wouldn't imagine it would as difficult.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Have you tried ROM Toolbox from Market yet?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] than33:
With version 4 you made a very big step backwards because of choosing CyanogenMod which has some annoying bugs:

- screen will blink a little with automatic brightness when in absolute dark

- you can't change it with custom brightness levels because 'settings' force closes after pressing apply

- after some time of use it is impossible to change processor setting and anything under performance tab (no matter what kernel is used)

- sometimes processor will stuck at maximum speed and only reset repairs that

- overall speed is worse then on stock based ROM

- another small bug is that every single flashing of ROM 4.0 deletes settings in launcher

So... for me 3.4 is stable version and 4.0 is Alpha
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NV30:
Why changed base to CM? Seems that AOSP has won in the vote.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
I'm sticking with 3.4
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
My preference is always close to stock as possible for compatibility issues.

I use an amazing ROM for my S2 called Chameleon, it has stock Samsung Base but look and options of AOKP.

Then again does Google give out the source code for nexus devices? I'm new to the nexus scene :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
Please can anybody till me does this mod work for v 4.0

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889522
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Get a new device, I have none of your issue. Thanks for talking without trying.

Should be alright :) what works with CM should work in most case with SmoothROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yes they do ;) it sucks to mod the Stock ROM because all you got is Smali

True but CyanogenMod is really much bette seriously, they fix hundred bugs everyday and I felt with AOSP that I was rewritting CyanogenMod, I was fixing issue that CM had fixed long time ago so why wasting my time :p ? BTW, CyanogenMod is based of AOSP if you didn't know ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] johnnysyeah:
Anyone found a nice working mod to show battery percentage with v4.0?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nickster1:
I just use the the circle percent battery that is baked into the ROM via cm. Works and looks great
[Nexus 7 Android Development] johnnysyeah:
Thanks! I found it in settings. Works great!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Turbotab:
I'm definitely going to try V4 out. I briefly flashed Paranoid Android, which is also CM 10 based and initially it seemed a bit meh, but once you spend time customising it, you realise the number of possibilities Cyanogenmod brings to the table, I did find a few weird bugs on the stock PA kernel, which flashing 'bricked kernel resolved.

To all those moaning, Cyanogemod is for advanced users, it is more complicated because of its numerous options, but we are all advanced users, n'est-ce pas. Anyway this ROM is still noob friendly because James's installer, and unlike other big name ROMs whom maintain mucho devices this really is focused piece of work.

Final points, +1 for bricked kernel, CM 10 > AOSP, root+stock is the simplest experience (yawn), still good though:D.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Look in the settings :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] than33:
Of course i have tried 4.0 Rom. Why do you think that I'm talking about something without trying?

And because those bugs are in every cm10 Rom for nexus 7 (i have tried them all), i'm telling you about it. If you prefer to than you can ignore that.

Please try changing anything in automatic brightness. Especially number of levels.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bazabaza:
Great ROM. Notice google play movies now works...couldn't get it to on the last version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lexiperplexi91:
Am I the only one that can't get the lock screen to rotate anymore? I usually use my tablet in TabletUI, and previously the lock screen would rotate. No big deal, just annoying, any help would be awesome! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
As mentioned a few pages back:

Settings > display > rotation > include lock screen check box
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
Thanks you for your. Hard work. On this Rom as I am sure it takes a lot of your time James

How can I move. The clock. On the lock screen to be. In the middle
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Settingd --> Lock screen ---> Clock Alignment
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lexiperplexi91:
Sorry, must have skimmed over it. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Please.. can someone else tell him it works?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cboy82:
it works
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WGSXFrank:
I've experienced no bugs at all related to automatic brightness... an I've been messing with it all day.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Golgo:
Nice to see a new release!

This has probably been asked before but do we need to wipe before installing 4.0?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yes :p because we changed base
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Are the cyanogenmod nightlies incorporated into this rom? Can we get updates everyday? I know stupid question but still...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] paranoia1988:
Themes?

Are there any themes available for this rom? And where can i find them?

Thx for your time :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Turbotab:
This ROM is based on CM 10, but not pure Cyanogenmod, so it is not part of the nightly beta updates, you could compile those changes from the nightlies into this ROM, however that may break somes of James's customisations, maybe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Guys, before posting any question, please spend some time "exploring" the new features first. If you come up with nothing in mind, then go ahead post your question. You gotta "mess up" your "lovely" tablet eventually anyway, so why not now?

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

About changing base from AOSP to CM10, all of our devs always wanna expand their knowledge. CM10 has the most features comparing to Stock or AOSP. James moved to CM10, I think, to "learn" more in order to answer/fix our issues when they come. So don't ask about changing base, it's just a good sign for us all =)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Turbotab:
Mini Review.

- Just as smooth as before

- Nice CM 10 features, such as access to various toggles on the notification bar, which you can customise

- Compatibility with CM 10 themes

- Like the browser and launcher options

- Recommend using System Tuner to change performance option, rather via the setting > performance tab as it gives you more options.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aLPaSLaN07:
I don't know if it's already mentioned but camera app for nexus 7 on market does not work. Also there is no camera shortcut in lockscreen which makes it impossible to use camera in this rom. Shortcut for camera app does exist when looking at the settings for lockscreen shortcuts but since there is no camera app associated with that shortcut, that won't show up in lockscreen..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Well it is the whole CM sources but customized in my own way ;) If I had a better computer, probably yes I could build everyday but it is not the case xD

Well I moved because it gives more features and I think it was better using what was done already in CM then rewritting the samething, it would be waste of time :) Also, CM is great now and I felt I could use it as a base. But yes the learning factors was there too :) But for real, CM has fixed many bugs that AOSP have and believe it or not, CM is based of AOSP ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
What about the app drawer x) ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
True dat! Lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Turbotab:
Settings > Lockscreen > slider shortcuts > Applications > add 'Gallery' > save > win. Ok, it takes you one more step, but you can easily open the camera from the gallery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] d0wnti.me:
Flashed this rom yesterday and I'm very satisfied, keep up the good work!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Alexmessy:
Guys is any of you using Motley kernel + Jay's buttery tweaks with this rom??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
:( Bad news, my computer is dead and I do not have the money to replace it right now
