Just sent $10 your way. Thank you for the buttery smooth ROMs and hopefully you will get enough to buy a new/used/refurbished Nexus 7 and continue with the awesome development you have provided us users.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jordan0314:
Got a Lil issue. When I save wallpapers they won't show up in my gallery. Anyone know why?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Would be great to know how you save them actually :)

Thanks you to all donators again! :D It is getting very close! About 110$!!

Don't be scared about SmoothROM developement, I still spend my time on it in the mean time but I just can't test anything in the mean time :P

Guess what I just received when I got back from school :D A very beautiful box was sitting on the table labeled 'Microsoft Surface RT'. My parents said they got a good deal and they knew how mad I was when my little sister broke my tablet. I am very very happy :D Wish I could port SmoothROM to it haha but for real, if anyone is looking for a second device, this Surface RT must be a 1st choice, it is very very good :) and no this doesn't replace a Nexus 7 since many apps are missing, but I might consider make some to it. (Hints : A good Facebook app)

I'm gonna take some look at deals for my Nexus 7, I will just get the Wifi 16GB device :)

I'm trying it now....did you watch Max's video?? I can't believe I missed this...I knew about the FB Chatheads & the PA Holo but this snuck right by me. Thanks for sharing it. I sure hope we can get it going here!!!!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] savagehax:
Love this ROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Can't test but don't you just have to install the .apk ? :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Yeah, I'm only ale to get gmail working with it, no twitter or FB or SMS or Tapatalk HD or xda premium, so still seeing what else can be done.

Edit: working perfectly! Glad it was brought to my attention here in this thread!! Lovin it!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
PM me if you for some reason cannot get it. Watch Max's video on it.... he walks you through everything. Good luck & thanks again for sharing the link/info.

Does anyone find the stock browser hangs a lot? I don't know if it's the browser or the kernel. I'm currently using Franco kernel, the latest one, and I think it is a little buggy.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ibby2606:
Hi is there any way to install a theme using this rom but using the stock launcher instead of a launcher like Nova?

So without changing the launcher is there any way to install a theme that will change the whole UI? If so can you tell me how? Only started using my nexus 7 recently. Any reply is appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fix-this!:
out of every rom ive tired this is the only one with no bugs or lag. thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ace-user:
just flashed this from PA a couple of hours ago..got to say that this is a lot smoother although there are a few features that i like on PA..

when in table ui the clock, wifi icon and the battery percentage are just way to small, is there are way to adjust them? and the nav bar icon are too far apart, making it a little bit difficult to press with one hand, is there any way to make it closer and increases the size if the icon too? one more thing, is it possible to change the font size? cause when I'm using dual panel in settings, i can't see most of the options cause the text are just too big..

Yes. This ROM has the theme engine integrated, so you can use nearly any CM10 theme from the play store!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slyd0997:
I'd really like to see James continue to developed this rom but his nexus is broken and if we can't raise enough for him to get another one, this beautiful ROM will die. He's got $110.00 at last count. Hoping we can all pull together to make it happen.

Hi guys!

So I just updated my Franco Kernel to the latest version. I shouldn't have done that.

There's been a real consistent lagging and even freezing on watching videos, both YouTube and local. So yeah, just a tip, don't update your Franco Kernel. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vintr:
Hey guys,

I just rooted, wiped, and installed SmoothROM. I'm having trouble installing GAPPS though (the latest one 20130301). It seems to be successful after installing from TWRP but after rebooting none of the apps show up.

After fighting with a laggy and painful Nexus 7 for the last few weeks, with a broken USB port and no option to restore it for warranty I was about to give up and try a iPad mini.

Thankfully I came across a Reddit post pointing me to Smooth ROM and all I can say is WOW! This has really given the N7 a new lease of life.

So thank you and a donation has been sent.

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback and the donation :) I swear you will regret switching to an Apple device :) If you want a good tablet, it is whether android or a Microsoft surface :)

Hi guys .I am happy i instaled this great rom.Just one problem .Browser always crashes in some sites using Adobe flash player.I am with Franco kernel.Is there a solution?

Maybe trying a different kernel?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maharu567:
I don't have that problems...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nnik_1969:
What kernel do you have?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] swali77:
Running Franco with no flash problems. Just got my screen replaced and thought I was going to have to send it back because of unresponsiveness. Switched from CM 10.1 to this ROM, adjusted the nav bar DPI, and presto! No more unresponsiveness along the bottom of the display when in landscape mode. Great job on this.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DroidOnRoids:
Just by looking at the changelog, I can tell this rom does not update daily -- which I like. So enjoy this for a while or try something else.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggydiamond:
ready to flash, but why does the rom download take 20 hours :eek:

i've tried both links, and my internet is pretty fast.

Anyone care to share the .zip if possible?

It would mean a lot to me ^^

Update: already got the file, seems like the servers were under maintenance or something

Is there any way to turn off the 'GPS provider status changed' notification? it is very annoying.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cesarmanilla:
This ROM is freaking awesome!!! I just have a doubt, when I try the navbar hide function it won't work. It dissapears for a second then comes back. Do I need something for it to work?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggydiamond:
flashed rom and motley kernel, but the benchmark gives the same result as stock rom and kernel. Did I miss something?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Exactly whom are you attempting to impress with benchmarks? Does your device run smoothly? Are you happy with how this rom functions? Benchmarks are worthless! Tweak the hell out of ur device if benchmarks are all you care about, but you will then be complaining about poor battery life. I hope you find what makes you happy. Good luck.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggydiamond:
whoa no need to get snappy...

Not trying to impress rom or anyone here, i just noticed that the benchmark is around 3666 while in the original post the benchmark was shown to be around 5000.

I personally don't care about this number, i just thought it was worth mentioning cause of the big difference.

PS. The rom is great, it works smoothly and feels a lot swifter than stock.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] machher:
Something very strange happened;

I left my nexus on (not plugged in) holding a 98% charge (maybe only 2-3 office apps running in the background). In the morning I find teh thing completely dead.

Now I am trying to charge it, and it is simply not holding a charge. It will turn on, however it has been sitting at 0% for the longest time. I am able to use the tablet while plugged in as normal, I have flashed to stock ever since. However still no charge being held.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] _Johnito_:
@Tired Of the bell @SquireSCA thanks for your replies guys.

I tried with Franco's kernel and got better scores indeed: 4788 overall, with I/O at 6225. It is still way under the presented pics in the main topic, but enough to stop me from returning the tablet. About storage, it is nearly empty: I have less than a gig of data on it. I do understand there is a limit to what synthetised benchmarks mean in real life. But i'm pretty sure there is a tangible difference when you cut down I/O perfs by three ...

... What exactly is fsync and how do you shut it ? Sorry for the stupid questions but this really is the first android piece of software i ever used and tweaked. I cant seen any "fsync" app running if this is its real name. If this is just google accounts sync (this thing you can turn on/off in the power widget, between GPS and screen brightness) then i already made my test with the thing turned off.

@machher

It very much looks like a hardware/battery issue to me ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jonwren:
Great Rom, the best one I have use, is there any chance of you adding Sony's Bravia Engine to this rom on the next update Please. Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hi,

1. Sony Bravia Engine : I wish I could but there is no information anywhere about it, I've no idea how to add it and how it works :/

2. Bricked Kernel : Smooth as hell, as some issue sometimes waking up, just hold power for 20 sec and there you go ;)

3. What books app? I will try them on my side.

4. Benchmarks : Use SetCPU to over clock ;)

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] machher:
Ooops, looks like I was just being impatient! Let it sit for 4 hrs plugged in - its now at ~15%. Still very weird..

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
What kernel are you using?

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

If you are happy with the performance I wouldn't worry about fsync. I'm still trying to confirm if Franco has it on or off by default. In the past he had it off but I'm not sure now. It can improve I/O speed with it off but your system isn't as protected from data loss in a lockup (as I understand it). I also wouldn't concern myself with the benchmarks you see from motley or trinity since I can say from experience that when I was getting those great benchmarks my overall tablet experience was pretty crappy. When I run stock and Franco the benchmarks aren't impressive but the tablet is perfect.

Just installed the rom after a full wipe but i'm having the same Kindle FC issues that i've seen others report when you try to open a book. This really sucks since I read on this device every night =\.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ayopancheezy:
is it safe to update to 3.1?

i've already downloaded the rom, but checking on this thread periodically to see all the bugs if any.

still trying to keep all my files and apps updating. not trying to wipe this, but don't know how. just wipe the cache partition and flash?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kendallc123:
If you want to try out 3.1, just make a nandroid backup and test it out! If it doesn't work, revert back to your backup :)

Edit: I'm still on 2.2 though, so I haven't actually tried out 3.1
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kendallc123:
Haha!! Sorry! Meant 3.1
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Alright, so I can confirm the issue.. it really exist :p The app itself works but exit (doesn't force close) (this mean the developer probably make it checks for DRM and if it fails, then exit.). I really need to get over this DRM issue it is really annoying.. if I could fix it, it would also bring Hulu Plus compatibility and stuff like it.. If the ROM would be CyanogenMod based, it would be fixed by default :p but I really need to find how to fix into AOSP, that would be for the best :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Digi421:
I also noticed another thing (though not sure if it's limited to this ROM):

When I try to BT audio tether the N7 to the headunit in my car, the pairing process fails. When initiating from the headunit, I immediately get a "FAILED" message (but nothing more) - when initiated from the N7, I get a "wrong PIN code" error message, though it never prompted me for a PIN code.

Also, in case nobody mentioned it before, in 3.1, when setting up e-mail (both with and without using the tablet mod), the text input fields for e-mail address, server names etc. are too short and text does not scroll, so you can't actually see what you are typing. Not a massive problem at all, just thought I'd mention it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
Anyone else notice that when you are in the app drawer and exit out, your home page is blank, just the wallpaper without your widgets, until you scroll left or right through the other home pages and then it draws the widget? I tried setting each of my 5 "pages" to "Home" one at a time to see if it was page or widget specific, and it doesn't seem to be.

Exiting the app drawer gives a blank home page until you move it left or right and then the widget or content appears.

Other than that, working well on Franco's Kernel R19.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] kokotron:
Pressing the Menu button on the nav. bar produces TWO click sounds (sometimes consequent, other times on top of each other) EVERY single time I press it, on every single custom rom I've tried! It's driving me crazy :) Now I'm on SmoothRom 3.1, still the same. Any ideas? Does anyone experience this? (EDIT: This also happens on apps that have a built in menu icon, such as Pinterest)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Warren_Orange:
What is the best power efficient kernel to use with this Rom?

I am running osm0sis Franco r61 but I feel like a change.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] guyd:
Motley #249 running great here.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DigitalJedi:
I was running Franco r61 until a few days ago. Not sure what happened, but it got a bit glitchy all of a sudden. The Franco Kernel app was receiving regular updates and I feel like it had something to do with the app. Anyway, I switched to M-kernel and it's been smoother with better battery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GialanG:
Me too. Franco r61 is not good for this rom, my N7 only survives 5 hours of screen on, while I can use up to 7 hours with M-kernel, which I'm using now.

In addition, the latest AOKP seems not going on well with franco r61, causing usual lag and high power consumption.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skytcam:
Can anyone tell me is it okay to change boot animations with this rom. ?.Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DigitalJedi:
Yes, you can change the bootanimation. I've done it a few times without issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Epsil:
Hi,

After one month of use, it's for me the best rom for Nexus 7.

Combined with Motley Kernel (CPU at 1.5 and GPU at 496). I tested several kernels but Motley is my preferred (performance and stability).

Very smooth rom, good battery, full options and no problems.

Great job !!!

Thank you again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Is the latest Motley Kernel bundled with the ROM or is there a newer version?

Been running with Franco but time for a change I think and a fresh install. Will choose Motley during setup..

Oh yeah one more thing. M-Kernel and Motley Kernel are totally different developments?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicoGa:
Totally different ... M-Kernel is wonderful. My tablet is snappy with a great battery life. This kernel is also more frequently updated, and its dev very responsive.

Edit: just want to add the SmoothRom is also wonderful for the to same reasons. Thanks Jamest!!

and let me tell you, this rom rocks. i like it very much!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] silvscorp:
Can anyone tell me where is the option to combine the recent soft key with some in-app option key? I swear I saw this option before but somehow I can't find it anywhere now. For example, if using go launcher, on the home screen, you'll have a 4th key to bring up the option for the launcher. In some other ROM, this key is combined with recent button, so short tap brings up recent apps and tap and hold brings up the go launcher option.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
I honestly didn't know anybody still used Go launcher. Lol I know it's a resource hog! I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the function ur looking for. I've been using this Rom for months. Good luck.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
I haven't been on this ROM in a while, but most have it under NavBar settings. Got to tap on the recent icon and assign a second function. That's the method I use on all my ROMs to delete recents and home, then assign home to long press on back.

Also, stop using GO Launcher, it is spyware. How do you think they give you all that free crap? Because of all those permissions you allow, it crawls your phone for information and returns it to some servers over seas.

Hi! I hope the next update fixes the issue on the navbar (phablet) where it won't hide on MX Player. Actually it does, but when I press anywhere to see the pause buttons it gets covered by the navbar. :D

And also I have this problem that when I lock the device to rest, it doesn't get back quickly when I press the power button. Sometimes it takes 2 - 5 seconds to return. I switched from Franco to Motley so I concluded that this is no longer a kernel problem. Franco was good but I still can't solve the YouTube lagging problem :(

Do you guys know any solution for this? I read something about SetCPU and stuff but I don't use them and I only have one mod installed : 4cylturbo. [MENTION=5020091]rydog66[/MENTION], are you having the same problem?

Occasionally there is hesitation when starting the device, however it's only after my N7 has been in deep sleep (generally overnight) it's not a big deal, nor do I believe it's a problem...... It takes me longer to get my act together when I wake up. Lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stitch01:
Hi! I'm planning to flash this ROM and I'm just wondering if I do factory reset before flashing (thru my recovery, I'm using TWRP btw) will it also delete all the files that I have? (like videos, music, Android data files for my games, TWRP back ups etc.)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
It might be fixed on its own by AOKP team otherwise I'm gonna take a look to it myself :) Still spending my short free time on SmoothROM :P I'm expecting v5.2 to be very good :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slyd0997:
In twrp wipe system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. I also flash the super wipe zip too. Ill try to find a link for you in a minute. None of this will delete your pix or videos or music. Do a nandroid backup in twrp first before you wipe anything so you have a plan B if something goes wrong.

Here's the super wipe script. http://www.mediafire.com/?lxpw84fwtm5cj6w

If you have any problems with the above method, the JROMflasher is highly recommended! You will lose all your data, though. So back it up and restore it after.
