just installed this rom and so far its freakin awesome, and if i could afford it i would make a donation but [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION] if you want i can make you a custom bootanimation like i have in my signature with any colours you like
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
That would be very nice to have a new Boot Animation :) I agree as long as the animation looks smooth :)

Hello,

thank you for this update.

Nice rom very smooth.

I just try to reinstall apps with titanium backup and it's not working (stay at 0%), any comments?

thank you!!

Does this rom perform better than paranoid android 3.99 RC 2?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
this rom is really smooth mate you did a great job but the only time i see lag is if the play store updates an app then the whole tablet comes almost to a stand still, i know its the crappy io but on my tf300 if disable fsync that would really help the issue so i was wondering if that would be possible on here too
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BigJoey010:
Hell yesss!! I've tried all roms and none of em are as smooth as this one..they're not laggy but its just that this ROM is just extra fluid and smooth.. With an amazing battery life

[MENTION=353186]robgee[/MENTION], hi mate, when I installed this rom after full wipe, I was reinstalling all my apps, around thirty to forty and there was no lag for me under normal operation. Did you full wipe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
Yep mate complete clean wipe, it might have been just that once that slowed down as no more apps have been updated yet but ill see how it goes and report back
[Nexus 7 Android Development] heatledger:
which kernel is best to use with this rom? i'm going to install it and can't choose from one to other... help me:)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
the installer recommends the lean kernel and it seems great to me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maris__:
To my opinion, M-Kernel 63.1 fits best. It comes with native NTFS support, and I also like the LG G2 type double tap wake-up feature.

With best regards, maris
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
My sister has it :)

Expect it for 4.4 release :)

Love the rom.. finally sticking with a 4.3 rom .

But is there a way to get wallpaper for lockscreen fixed when it doesnt work?

And the battery bar has its flaws in tablet ui.. when 100% the battery bar only reaches half of the navbar.. is there a fix for this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Some people says it is working fine. I believe you didnt wipe your device properly. In case you did but restored your data, try again wiping without restoring and see if it fixes the bug.

Thanks

Anyone knows where quick pin/password unlock is?

In the previous version i enable the option to automatically unlock once the correct pin/password was entered without having to press ENTER. I can't seem to find this option anywhere in the newer build....

Any help is greatly appreciated.....

P.S: this ROM is the best in the whole UNIVERSE...keep up the good work.... I tried most popular ROMS like CM, PA etc... None of them comes close to this one... :P

[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
I can't seem to find relevant info in logcat yet.....but I can confirm wallpaper issues. At first, in tablet UI, navbar hide was working fine. After a wallpaper change, now next launcher rotates 90 degrees off, and xbmc only opens in portrait mode once I use navbar hide. Also tested and have wallpaper lock screen issues in tablet Ui, not phablet ui. I guess its because tabletui deviates from stock framework. This was from a clean wipe......I wonder if people who can't set developer options are the same ones with lock screen wallpaper issues. I'm gonna try some different DPI settings, and I hope I can find some info in logcat. But, while its present in all other AOKP ROMs, it was definitely "fixed" on yours before I changed stock wallpaper. Is there anyway to define the stock orientation as landscape? The issues appear to be due to being in landscape mode and trying to behave like portrait mode, at least that's how I would describe it. I'll keep look for useful info, instead of just rambling.

Waiting is over :) Thank you jamesst20, 5.3 working great so far :victory:

You need to hit settings then security then under screen security set it to pin and set your pin then the option will show mate

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I am sorry sir, I have no such issue, it looks to only be on your side.

Did you really wipe your data ? Did you use anything to backup/restore? If so I would consider rewiping without restoring ;)

Can I backup my data only and then after installing v5.3 restore it? Or it'd get all buggy and mess up? Anyways thanks for this release, I've been dying for a new update. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Only backup what you need, the more you backup, the higher chance the device gets mixed up ;)

Backing up user apps data and restoring such shouldn't cause you any problems, backing up and restoring system data is not usually recommended though if you have come from a previous version of the same rom, things like WiFi access points, Bluetooth, email account settings shouldn't do any harm.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Wow. 4.3.1 is a great update! Well worth the factory reset, nothing seems lost in the migration either. This tally is the king of ROMs on nexus, stability seems to be a priority here and that really matters, nice one!

Sorry I've got problem enabling developer options. I hit >7 times number build as always done, but in this ROM nothing happened. This is my first AOKP based rom, maybe is different the way to enable developer options?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jimi Mack:
It has been reported several times that no one can find the Developer Options, it may have been left out on this one. I also am now missing the option to change the font size in the status bar, which was also available in version 5.2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eddyedwards007:
Hopefully fixed in next build, in the meantime download developer options from the playstore, it's free and will do the same job :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] duvee:
I have the developpers options...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Install Developer Option from Play Store in the mean time. It is a shortcut to the missing Developer Option in settings.

How come battery bar isnt working with tablet ui ?

It seems that it contains a half bar of navbar and a half bar status bar.. so the battery bar will only cover half of the whole tablet ui bar..

Any solutions?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nguoidungnq:
is it for NEXUS7 (1st gen)?

Thanks always for the great ROM.

I have a question, pls help:

I installed this SmoothROM v5.3 on my new Nexus7(2013), and it stopped half way (failed to installed) (I did wipe everything: Delvic, Cache, Factory Resetting before flashing this ROM)

So, is this v5.3 for the old guy NEXUs7(1st gen) or the new guy Nexus7 (2013)

Thank you & regards,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:

By the way, I really felt the change from v5.2 from v5.3. Idk, maybe it's about the ROM + Kernel combination (used LeanKernel cause it's recommend) but as you've said in the changelog, it's really a lot snappier. Screen is much more responsive to touches and has less lags/delay. Plus I think battery life has improved. Nice work [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION]! :D

Okay guys I found something weird about the developer options under settings, apparently the options exist but its not listed under settings even when enabled.

As you can see in the screenshot the options are open and enabled but not listed on the left.

BTW I connected my nexus to the comp and the USB debugging option was on so that's how I was able to open it in the first place from the notifications.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jimbobvfr400:
A few things I've noticed, all fixable or workroundable (if that's a word)

No developer options - simple download from app store

Custom animation setting doesn't work - seems to be no handler available to pick files, I installed Anttek Explorer which was then opened, it still needed to change the filtering to show all files, but now works

Setting a custom lockscreen wallpaper it seems to occasionally momentarily persist on the desktop. This may be because I'm using Apex pro not the default. Doesn't always happen and not a problem.

Cracking ROM, glad to be back on SmoothROM after a dalliance with stock 4.3
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks for your feedback but if I were you I would wipe totally your device and if you make a backup, try to do what you mentioned as a bug before restoring your data back because I have no such issue on my side other than the missing Developer Option.

I have been unable to flash SmoothRom 5.3. I am upgrading from SmoothROM 5.2. I used TWRP 2.6 to flash SmoothROM 5.3 after a factory reset. However, it wouldn't boot; it just hangs on the android boot screen. After ten minutes, I reinstalled SmoothROM 5.2. I downloaded SmoothROM 5.3 again in case the download was corrupted and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0.I again performed a factory reset and tried again. Still hanging. Help? Please? SmoothROM 5.2 was great. Would like to enjoy SmoothROM 5.3!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
I would like stock stock launcher and I don't use tablet ui and I might not be the only one. :)

Maybe add a note in Aroma saying something like, "if you select stock launcher it is advised not to select tablet ui"?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MattG987:
Ah. Well, forget stock launcher then :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
Screw the stock launcher! I'm with stock 4.1.2 atm, just wanted to try it out until your next version is ready, and I still don't think stock launcher is on par with apex, and apex works much better than nova. That's of course subjective, but with both stock and nova I get a lot of missed sweeps when scrolling between homescreens or in the app drawer, you now when the sweep goes half way and then jumps back to the page you were on like you didn't sweep your finger hard and long enough. That never happens with apex. And with nova, if you installed the tablet UI, you get that weird frame of blue lines when scrolling between homescreens. With apex you can get rid of that by enabling "use tablet ui mode" in the apex settings.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks for your reply :)

Well I'm happy to tell you that Nova Launcher Beta 4 is based on AOSP 4.1.2 and works really great right now :) About the 'annoying' blue lines frame, I didn't find your 'Tablet UI Mode' to hide :/ and I will ask Nova dev team if I can do something with it :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iang123:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Stuphologist:
Stock vs. Nova

I for one don't care at all about the stock launcher. Nova works, and looks, better - I can't abide the blue lines/outline/thing when swiping between screens. (If I could replace all the blue icons, too, I would.) I vote Nova.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Odd, I went with Nova, in part, because you can turn off that awful blue wireframe transition and change the highlight color too.

I'm glad, and kind of surprised, that it worked. Yay! :)

My guess is that you're in Windows and you haven't installed the driver. I suggest you yo install 'PdaNet' (Google :) ) and try again

Sorry guys I'm going to sleep so not releasing tonight :P I've tested so many stuff to get Kindle App working but I really don't understand why it doesn't work :( I also asked help on IRC and they don't know either :(

Free space on 5.3 ver ROM?

Hi,

first of all, thanks for update! Unfortunately i had to go back from previous ver to stock rom etc. H from other reason. However, I am going to flash the newest ver of your rom and my queation is related to free ram availibility after full wipe compared to 5.2 or even stock JB.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Does touch wakeup only works on m-kernel? I flashed the lean kernel and the touch wakeup won't function anymore.

first off thanks for a wonderful ROM :good:, i came from carbon rom 1.7 stable a 4.2.2, just finished installing it and restoring my files and apps, so far almost everything is great, stable, fast just noticed one thing, Im unable to set a wallpaper for the 2nd and third users, is it normal on a 4.3 rom? :confused:

Hey, the rom is very fast but it has one problem, it doesn't always boot, I start it via TWRP and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, not starting without TWRP won't work. I use the M-Kernel since it has better battery life and performance. I have a 32GB Nexus 7 Wi-FI only.

Thanks ;D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eddyedwards007:
What do you mean it won't start without twrp? You should be able to boot normally. You don't need recovery to boot the Rom? Did you full wipe before installing? The problem is definitely at your end if I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying the Rom won't boot up from the power button?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
try mkernel a63, not a63.1....... otherwise I agree with previous poster, make sure you do full wipe, and maybe even format /system manually.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Daniel120201:
ok thanks ;D

[Nexus 7 Android Development] alveox:
Hi,

Thanks for the rom james.. so far i like it..

but i want to share some issue i got when im using this rom.

1. some app is not interpreting landscape/portrait properly, for example plex. as far as i know plex only play movie in landscape, but on your rom it played potrait. this happen on lean kernel. when i restore using m kernel plex work 100%.

2. some youtube movie cannot be played, but when im using other tablet the movie is working. i guess it have something todo with the host file, this kind of problem happen when im instaling adblock on my android.

well that the issue i got after 1 day installing your rom..

ill share again if i got another issues.

Hope it will help you to patch it for the next release.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eddyedwards007:
Don't know about your first problem, but you tube works fine for me. If you think it might be ad block, try ad away and see if the problem persists :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] alveox:
youtube is fine, but im a plex player fans (its an app to play from my plex media server). it became a problem when im using lean kernel, but now im using mkernel so plex is running well. im posting it just to share this issue when using lean kernel (the recommended one on smothrom).

for the 2nd problem, fyi i haven't install adblock or adaway, im guessing its the embedded host that blocking some of youtube movies. from the 1st page i read this rom using an ad blocking host (there is an option on aroma), so maybe this host is the problem..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
im using the same setup mate but ive got problems with youtube, maybe try a clean install and dont restore any user apps then see if it works

[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
the hosts file does seem to block some YouTube videos.....but I think you can edit hosts file to Allow an exception for YouTube... I personally havedone it for hulu. as for the rotation issues on Plex, it's Aokp bug....in all aokp roms. even with a clean wipe and proper install....all aokproms have it. for me....it happens in tablet ui and the kernel has nothing to do with it. what really makes me mad is that there are no logcat errors and it is not a reproduceable error......it rears it's head when it wants to and doesn't go away unless I go back to Phablet mode and reboot. im looking.....and willcontinue to look until figureitout...... cause for me..... it makes pacman,revolt,aokp unusable. this rom has the least problems with it.....

RANT: FU google. who cares if apple has a uniform gui......android dont need that. I got a tablet to use as a tablet.....not adorky lookin oversized phone. phablet ui is annoying.....and its just to copy an apple idea? FU. if i wanted 6 inches of screen....id get a 6 inch tablet. it wasnt broke...dont apple it.....bring back tablet ui!!
