interesting.....we share the commonality that it's tablet ui.... but I've had it happen with mkernel too. let me go compare their display drivers.....i wonder if lean kernel is on git.

fyi...... lowering dpi to 190 helps stop it from happening....and I think it has to do with the system confusing itself as to it's current orientation. for example.....nexus 7 is meant to be held in portrait mode....but Xbmc runs in landscape mode....so when you ope it in portrait mode, it autorotates 90 degrees. problem is, that when you are already in landscape mode, it will rotate 90 degrees anyways....and stay in portrait. most apps have accelerometer code and work fine.....but apps with no accelrrometer code that are supposed to stay in landscape end up getting stuck rotated 90 degrees....system thinks its right cause the app didnt realize its already in landscape. aosp don't do this, and cm and Pa don't do it....regardless of kernel.....but aokp RoMs do sometimes seem to tell the application it's in default portrait mode....when really you're in landscape.

to narrow it down even more.....it only happens when in tablet ui..... like it needs to go further in it's implementation........ speculation, can't prove it yet. I'm also not complaining....trying to fix it.

NOOB question here

how do i enable developer options, and what about cpu control like overclocking?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Install Developer Options from play store.

For overclocking, please check Kernel threads

Been bouncing around ROMs for a while. I don't really use my Nexus 7 too often, but I do still enjoy having the device and stock just doesn't quite do it for me. I've landed on this ROM again today, not for the first time as I've flashed various versions of it in the past. Definitely loving it right now though. Very smooth, battery life is currently uncertain as it hasn't even been a day. Using Leankernel, but may switch to M-Kernel, we shall see. Regardless, thanks for your continued work on the ROM. Can't wait to see what 4.4 does for the original Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] alveox:
good luck on your quest!!! :D

since i got plex, i remove xbmc from my tablet, so i cant test it..

btw, i want to share another problem:

1. so many error when i watch movie streaming from my media server. im using plex app and also tried my luck with es file manager + mxplayer, but both of them got the same problem.. when im seeking the movie, the app sometimes stop responding.

This is not happening when im using 4.3 stock rom.

2. last night around 1 am (im on GMT+7) after i charge my nexus, i remove the usb and leave it at desk. at the morning when i pick my nexus, the display is still on showing black screen (no image or anything, just black), thats wierd. after that im rebooting the nexus, after that reboot it can sleep again normaly. i lost around 20% battery during that time (aprox 6 hours).

well thats all for today.. :laugh:

I believe you are the second person reporting this but I have no such issue on my end. That means you probably didnt wipe before installing or you have restored too much data

So did you put cm10.1 after you got it back from Asus, have good wifi , then put smooth room? Sounds like wifi antenna connector is bent down, loose connection. Fwiw, I've had great wifi, with all kernels I've tried.

Greetings,

I'm having a weird problem with wifi on 5.3 (clean install, factory reset and format data). My signal is same as on 5.2, but after succesfully connecting to my AP i have to wait 2-3 minutes till I can browse pages, etc... That is happens every time.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
OK.... Here is a little tip for "tablet ui" users. Sometimes a landscape based app will bug out and then open/get stuck in portrait mode. (plex, xbmc, others) Even if u restart tab, it still bugs out.... The way to fix this is to go into rom control, switch back to phablet mode, reboot tablet, go back to tablet ui, fixed. I've had xbmc and next launcher bug out a total of about 5 times, this has fixed it evertytime. I am still trying to pinpoint the cause to fix it for good....... But if it happens to you, this should get u back to normal..... No need for changing roms or reinstalling, you're using the fastest one!

my wifi problem wasn't a rom relatedproblem, i bought this nexus on 3/10/13 , after 5 day's my screen became grey, obiviusly it wasn't my fault, i did nothing to the tablet, no scratch, no drop ,no water , i made an rma and after few days dhl came to my house and took the tablet, after few days i went to check if they repaired the tablet , and so what? they didn't make the reparation becouse the damage was out of warranty , after few call to the asus call center they replaced my screen but broke the wifi antenna.

i was investigating on a fix to the wifi and than i found this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36642162 , i opend my tablet and it had his same identical problem, the asus service center broke my antenna, i made the fix as the topic explain and now the tablet it's ok, i wil never buy another asus product.

I've just bought a nexus (first version) and now trying to move to this ROM from stock: 4.3 build JWR66Y.

I'm a linux user (Debian testing 64bit) and have downloaded the JROMFlasher. I followed the instructions but am getting lot of these messages:

When I click the first step 'Boot into fastboot' nothing happens, any ideas what's wrong here?

TIA!

Did you extract everything in the same folder ? If you are using the terminal did you cd to the right directory?

I feel like the tools are not found even thought if I remember good it should be checking if the files exist

[Nexus 7 Android Development] limaunion:
yes, I extracted everything in the same folder like this:

$ unzip JROMFlasher\ v2.0.zip

One strange thing I noticed is that the howto says to type 'java -jar JROMFlasher.jar' but actually the jar filename that comes with the zip file is named 'JNorValidator.jar', is this right?

Once I run 'java -jar JNorValidator.jar' I get the main application window and the errors in the console as I posted earlier, I don't know how to continue.

Thanks once again.

Can't install

I'm trying to install the Nov 1 version fresh after a wipe and after selecting what options to install, it gives me "assert failed: getprop(ro.product.device") .... shows grouper and tilapia. Not sure what the issue is?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] coubi64:
Install this 5.3 after a full wipe in recovery. It rocks and seem faster than 5.2 but it's not 100% fast while some minutes after reboot, it becomes 100% fast after these few minutes, I don't know why, and what takes resources at the beginning. I don't know how to log this, if you know an app that may help me, it would be great.

And thanks for your job, I love this rom:good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bouss:
I installed the latest smooth rom with lean kernel (as recommended) without formatting the internal storage and have lags. Not stutters but lag (takes some time to open applications). Is this normal or a format is essential for it to work smoothly?

P . S. I reinstalled with same configure the lag was still here. Third install using m kernel and no ads remove and now it works like a charm. Not sure which of these two was causing the lag.

@jamesst20

,

Great new version - glad to see that you didn't give up because of the broken HDD. :o

Few things I note about v5.3:

changing the navbar width is not possible.

I wish to have the widther navbar like phone mode, but under Phone mode - landscape navbar does NOT work. ( need a fix )

Is there anyway I can change the space between the buttons ?

I Tried XHaloFloatingWindow, the Xposed module - but it's not perfect.

Are you planning to add Halo or OmniRom MultiWindow at any time in the future ?

i Guess it obvious that you'll add the missing dev options somehow.

What about full Expended Mode ( [MENTION=252981]Power[/MENTION] menu minimum, with both navbar&status bar hide ability ) ?

+1 to add Faux's kernel in Aroma installer. [ the m version = 1.5Ghz ]

once again - Great JOB ! :good:;) :o
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
On the first system boot.... It must build the entire dalvik cache..... This can take a few minutes and only happens on first boot, or of course after a dalvik wipe. It is normal, and takes longer depending on total number of apps. You could try the Row IO scheduler, but I think it's nothing really.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Phone ui isn't supposed to have navbar, phablet or tablet ui do. On tablet ui you can make these adjustments to width/space, number of buttons, etc. For expanded desktop(navbar hide) , power button menu switches don't work....... Adding a navbar quick toggle does work. I have A few posts in the last week covering these exact issues. I too dream of a tabletUI that is actually stable like paranoid Android, but the ability to add buttons like aokp........ Aokp just has too many bugs. This rom does it all, and better than other aokp rooms...... But these are still aokp bugs, not things that work on other aokp roms but not this one.... It is your best bet..... I too would love the actual expanded desktop feature...... And I hope the Op might consider Git...... Cause I'd be adding it myself. Take the time to read my last few posts, I cover how to do these things and how to fix it if something goes wrong.

This is a fantastic ROM..Thanks so much for your dedication to the Nexus 7..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] allex1:
I have been using smooth rom for about a year now. After installing 5.3 I Had to flash supersu to get root. A few apps like 500px, chrome, adware gave frequent force close. I always wipe everything. Today I reinstalled again after full wipe and only restored 1 game and a couple of apps. Force close still present. Sorry but precedent versions worked much better. Hopefully 4.4 will be better.

However thanks a lot for not abandoning this device.

Hehe looks like when I named the file in the zip, I named it JNorValidator, another tools I had worked on for the PS3 Scene. But it looks to be the right file l, just the wrong name, it is alright :)

Would you mind using the terminal calling on your own in the Tools/Linux folder : (Commands are in order)

./adb devices

./adb reboot bootloader

./fastboot devices

./fastboot reboot

PS: It might require root (sudo)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] allex1:
Hello,

Does anyone experience dropped frames when watching movies on youtube in full screen and touching the screen? It happens only in full screen. Any fix for that? Thanks in advance.

The way I installed it was: clockworkmod wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, installed 5.3 zip rebooted, installed supersu and then restored around 10 apps with data from backup. Also battery life is a bit bad. I get about 4 hrs screen on time and I drain it in around 10hrs after being charged over night. I have the 32gb wifi and charge it with the original charger.

Thanks for any hints on what am I doing wrong.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] AceNJ:
Hi guys, so for you with new Nexus 7s (2012) from the recent gamestop firesale, I think I figured out the issue. My Nexus 7 (2012) came with Android 4.2 and I tried to jump straight into this ROM instead of letting it upgrade to 4.3 first. I ended up having to do a factory reset to the latest 4.2.2 (factory reset to 4.3 also produced similar errors). Once I did the factory reset to 4.2.2 (nakasi JDQ39), I was then able to do a factory reset to 4.3 (nakasi JWR66Y). It's a bit of a pain but after I got on 4.3 I had no trouble at all going to this ROM. Hopefully this helps others in the same situation. I screwed things up by trying to jump right into this ROM but you'd be better off allowing your system to upgrade to 4.3 first if you haven't already wiped your factory ROM (unlocking doesn't matter but I think installing a custom recovery will mess up a stock upgrade attempt).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] COfatboy:
Thanks for the input. I will try this, just got my Nexus 7 it was used and already running the 4.3. I will follow your instructions and report back.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] COfatboy:
To anybody experiencing this error I have determined the cause of this error for me was TWRP version 2.6.3.1 I flashed CWM then TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it worked like a charm. I have reported this on the TWRP development thread.

After finally getting this ROM flashed I have to say it is AWESOME! Very smooth, it's amazing how slow and crappy stock is. It's like I got an entirely different tablet. Keep up the good work!

Easy buddy....... The question has been answered a lot, and I do mean a lot. It is starting to clog the thread, like I'm doing right now. This is a fine rom, fun to use. The OP spent some time on this, you can tell when you use it. I agree that the previous poster didn't have to be like that, but no need to drag it out. The app in Google play works fine for development options. Have a great day people:)! Hey OP, do you know if the " wake lock blocker" is an aokp feature? I've been seeing it on pacman rooms but heard it was aokp. Since I'm being a tool clogging the thread, might as well make a feature request!

Need help for last step

I've just followed all the steps using JROMFlasher v2, now after having successfully uploaded the ROM (as indicated by JROM) I get the following message while trying to reboot (system) from TWRP: No OS Installed!. Are you sure you wish to reboot?

Is this normal? did I do something wrong? can I reboot safely? what should I do?

TIA!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Did you flash the ROM zip after uploading it? Uploading isn't the end. You don't have an OS until you flash the zip in recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] limaunion:
ok, I didn't do that, can you please let me know the steps required to flash the zip in recovery mode?

My nexus is currenlty in the TWRP main screen.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
I believe it's install> choose zip
[Nexus 7 Android Development] limaunion:
ok, I did that, chose the zip, confirm, then had to choose the prefered kernel, browser, etc, then the screen went a black and I when I hit the power button I'm again in the main TRWP window. It was pretty fast everything. Then I chose to reboot ('System') and I got again the same message 'No OS installed! Are you sure...'. and by error I hit 'yes', then it asked me something about installing 'SuperSU' (or similar) in order to have my nexus rooted, I chose yes and the nexus was rebooted. Now I have a big Google displayed in the middle of the screen with an opened padlock at the bottom. :(

Any ideas or tutorial for this situation?

Thanks.

PS: update: I'm trying to 'flash stock' using the Nexus Root Toolkit but no matter what I do the nexus doesn't turn off, it just goes for one second the powers on again...

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

I read previously that the nexus was an unbrickable device... now I'm stunned reading a thread of someone who can't access the bootloader as me and it seems there's no fix for that(?) I can't beleive it, I bought my nexus just two week ago :crying:

am I screwed?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
If you hold the volume button in the middle, it's a third button...... Hold it in and the power button in at the same time until it reboots, it should boot into the bootloader, showing an android laying down getting "repaired" this takes about 15 seconds. Then use volume keys to choose recovery, then press power button to boot into recovery, just press and let go like hitting "enter" You are not bricked..... Just need a little help is all, you got recovery but no OS.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] limaunion:
It worked! thanks so much! for a moment I got really frustated... Now I'm again in the TRWP screen, what would you recommend me to do? to try to flash again using the same zip or some other thing? I really appreciate all your help.
