No offense but the solution to this was a post 9 pages back and since YOU were the one to give the solution, wouldn't it have been easier to just answer this guy's question? Just sayin'. ;)

Btw, I had the same issue and just kept playing with the nav bar settings until I remembered reading your post the other day, which finally solved it. But of course, not everyone reads past the first or last page. :) But anyway, thanks for the solution.

Just got my N7 a few days ago and although there's a zillion roms for it, (feel like a kid in a toy store LOL) I went with Smooth, as I had a port of it by Ichigo when I had a Kindle Fire. It was good on the KF but I like it even better on the N7.

Thanks,

Where is the mic for the android keyboard? Can't find it in this version or how to configure it...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rickvnl:
Use SwiftKey instead of the standard keyboard. I guess you'll like it :) It includes voice typing.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xonone:
swype + dragon is also pretty good. Includes a very nice voice typing program built in. I believe its still on sell for 99 cents in the market atm. Has thumb keyboard :D

Another question. When I use my file manager the only part of my storage that shows is sdcard/0/. It won't show sdcard. I have tried different file managers and none show sdcard. Any help?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hyperxguy:
Give Clean File Manager a try, it's free.

By default, it's mapped to SDCARD and you can re-map to other things.

It's very clean and nice. I like it a lot.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] coubi64:
I have a little problem. I have checked gapps in aroma but once installed Gmail wasn't in the applications... So I decided to install it in Playstore. It works except for the notifications... I don't have a notification when I got a nex mail.

Could you please help me solving this problem and tell me if i did something wrong?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sus4ntoh:
Sorry if I ask a stupid question but did you check the notification is turn on from the gmail app?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] coubi64:
Your question isn't stupid. You're right. Synchro wasn't turned on by default.... I did never have this problem before on previous gmail installation on other devices... But the main thing is that my problem found a solution :good:

Two questions:

1.Can someone please tell me how to make the navbar auto hide when I'm watching I movie or playing a game? Because as of now it doesn't seem to do that and its annoying...

2. The status/nav bar are like tablet mode but how do I get the two columns in gmail and settings?

Answers are extremely appreciated and will be given thanks.....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] OrionSX:
Might just be me missing something completely obvious, but how do I set the home screen app to tablet mode? I have the Navbar/Status Bar in Tablet mode, but the launcher itself is still the Phablet version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ryomakun:
same question, how to hide navbar?? thx
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Add System Bar Toggles to Power Menu and then you should be able to toggle. However, this feature doesn't look to be working in Tablet UI

I'm on version 5.1 btw, flashed it today and I'm using the standard launcher
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vmancini3:
Try Nova launcher! Very snappy, lots of customization, and you have a couple options what you can do with the search bar, and the appearance of it as well!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Eezay:

Rom looks very good btw!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FizzleDiz:
My N7 was on Smoothrom 5.0, which I gave to my son... No longer have it. Go to your launchers settings and look for action bar. I thought ADW was the stock launcher, but I guess I was wrong. Haven't seen my N7 in 3 weeks. Sorry.

Help - Stuck on Boot Screen

Hi there, I've been stuck on the boot animation screen for hours!

Tried installing several times now via TWRP using different Kernels but still no luck. Attempting to download the JROMFlasher gives a virus warning for 'ADWARE/Adware.Gen'.

I've tried to manually do everything the tool does but still no luck. :crying:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Use the jromflasher2 tool. It does not contain any viruses! I promise, as long as ur downloading from xda, ur good! ;) the tool is made to get your device all set to flash a new rom onto it. Specially designed for newbies. Just do ourself a favor and read all about it in the OP (1st page of the thread) it will tell you what to do & answer any questions. Be sure to install the drivers from pda.net, they are the right ones. That is where everybody that has any problems gets stuck. Any other questions can be answered by reading the posts in that thread (there's only like 13 pages) plus there's a bunch of good info in there. Good luck, it's really not too hard, as long as you read the instructions and follow ALL the directions in order & not try and skip anything. It's all laid out for you, now you just gotta do it.

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Guantonio:
Sorted!

Thanks for your reply. I already had the pda.net drivers installed. I use them for most devices, they are the only ones I can get to work with a Nabi. I'd already skimmed through the OP and most of the pages before starting. The problem was the OP for the flasher states that you should be downloading an archive (zip, rar etc) to extract, datafilehost even show the file as a zip but despite un-checking the use download manager box, I kept getting an exe file. The problem was my script blocker is set to globally block all scripts. Was half asleep last night when I was trying it. This morning, after enabling scripting for datafilehost it gave me the zip file.

Used version 1 instead of 2 and it worked first time. :D

The odd thing is, I manually did everything the flasher seems to do. The only differences being I used TWRP instead of CWM and was stating from a rooted stock state instead of just an unlocked stock. Using TWRP instead of CWM shouldn't make a difference as that's what version 2 uses :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
I'm glad you got it all figured out! Nothing like getting Stumped on something like that to totally flatten our ego's. lol

[Nexus 7 Android Development] andro54:
Maybe you can try freezing the related app with Titanium Backup? (I don't know whats the APK name exactly...)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Yes you could freeze google search, but then you would not be able to use it..... which includes Google Now! I recommend using a different launcher, then you can customize a bunch of stuff including the static search bar. I know nova prime is popular, I love it, it's what I'm currently using. Apex is good also, that is what I was using before. I like the extra features that nova offers, which is my reason for the change. Good luck!

My device has once again lost root. I do not have SuperSU installed. I switched to Superuser back when SuperSU was creating issues and that fixed my problems. Now that I'm trying to update to 5.1 I tried opening up TI to backup my apps and couldn't get root access. I tried uninstalling Superuser and switching back to SuperSU to uncheck "respect CM root" but when I open up SuperSU it just force closes on its own before I can do anything with it.

Anyone know how to help this particular loss of root?

Edit: Fixed for now. I re-flashed 5.0. Deleted Superuser. Installed SuperSU...same crashing problem but slower. I opened it up and did the "Cleanup to uninstall" option in the menu before it could crash again. Reinstalled from Play. Now root access is back. Was able to backup apps and now installing 5.1.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
5.1 has superuser functions baked in......if that helps matters any.

Cheers,
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jimbobvfr400:
TitBU has an extract from Nandroid function. So if you do a Nandroid of 5.0 then wipe and flash 5.1 you should be able to then get your apps and data from there. Never needed to try it myself but the theories good plus you'll have a Nandroid so no harm done anyways.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
What about not dirty flashing? You're alone in this case which means you never wiped your device since a long time ago. I would double check what Titanium restore too, it might overwrite important files.

It is like replacing Mac files with Windows files, doesn't work well together ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kendive:

Hi, if you don't mind me asking, when will be the next update and what new features can we expect from it? More power to you. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azure Dragon:
Hello sir!

So I am a newbie here, things that I say may be incorrect and are just my thoughts. So, sorry for that.

I flashed my Nexus 7 using your SmoothROM and the recommended kernel Franco. I must admit, I'm loving the smoothness!

I ran into a few problems while enjoying the buttery smoothness :

1) The videos don't seem right. I use MX Player, and the navigation bar won't hide. I pressed the video multiple times, so it would attempt to hide it, but no luck.

I tried playing it using the default video player, and the navigation bar hides. But one thing is bugging me, it leaves the space of the navbar black and it's kinda annoying. Haha. So it just hides the navbar but the video doesn't fill in. Which is different to when I was still on my slow stocks.

How do I hide the navbar? I found it here but it's grayed out. How do I enable it?

2) While I was trying to download on the Play Store, there are some times that it would get all buggy and it would continue displaying the app page, as if being opened over and over. I can't scroll, I can't press back, just home. Well it's also kinda troublesome.

3) Sometimes when I press the volume button (any) the app I'm using crashes. It continues until I press the volume button long enough and the device reboots. Walla, it's fixed.

Well, sometimes, it doesn't get fixed. Does this involve the Volume Panel cause I disabled it, hope that won't bother me now.

Other than that, there are nothing else that I encountered. Hmm. The calculator widget bothers me when it's landscape. It looks.. retarded. Haha. Plus I think there are some unnecessary apps on it, so please let us uninstall them. Oops sorry, I think this was the rude part. What I meant is that I don't use these apps (cause I love gaming and watching HD movies on it) and I'm suggesting they should be optional, in the Aroma installer.

Other than that, it's really smooth, I'm loving how transition effects are going, I love the browsing and.. Oooh! One more thing.

I noticed that it kinda scrolls choppy when I'm trying to read, on Dolphin and on Currents. Could you make the scrolling smooth. If it is already, can you please make it smoother? I'd really appreciate it!

There may be a mod for that, but I don't know where to get it. Please help me. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
Did you do a FULL wipe of your device prior to flashing this rom?? My guess is that's the source of most of your problems. I can personally recommend the JROMFlasher tool made by the same Dev that made and maintains this rom. I have used it and it is specifically created to properly prepare your device for flashing a new rom. As far as your personal preference for apps, if you don't like or use the few that are baked in, either get rid of them or "freeze" them in Titanium Backup. I Believe the video/nav bar issue was resolved here in this thread. I KNOW it has been discussed here. Search this thread & you should find your answer. I have been using SmoothRom for a few months & a couple updates. I am very happy with this great rom. I use Motley kernel and feel it gives me the perfect mix of battery and performance. I have tried several Kernels but not Franco..... although I have heard many great things about it. Lastly, you begun your post kindly and respectfully. The tone however changed. The derogatory slang terminology you used to describe the calculator that you dislike is offensive! This is a public arena. Not only is that disrespectful to the person who designed the theme of this rom/calculator app, but it is also offensive to anyone with a mental disability themself or has a loved one that suffers from such an infliction. You need to remember where you are, who else can read your post. You never know who can offer you some help with your issues,(apparently only some of which have are device related.) SmoothRom is something made by someone that continually puts a lot of hard work, research, dedication and time into it. Then turns around and gives it away freely! Respect for all his efforts should be automatic.

I would definitely try jamesst20 tool and re-flash this rom and see if you have any rom related issues then. There is a link for it in the OP or in jamesst20 signature. I truly do hope this helps you resolve these issues.

Good Luck
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Azure Dragon:
Thank you for your reply.

Sorry if I may have offended or hurt anyone during my posts, but as far as I remember, I can assure you that those words are cast in a sense of humor. Maybe I was too adapted to other forums, which, kinda, has those words everyday.

I noticed that I was getting negative and complaining stuff to him, and you have noticed it in a bad tone. I apologize for that. All in all the main purpose of my message was to "report" bugs, although I admit it turned out I was ranting like I paid for it. I may, once I get a credit card soon :P

Getting to it, I used JROMFlasher and did a full wipe. I followed all the instructions carefully. I didn't bother to include that because I feel that it isn't the problem, however if it may help then there you go.

I disabled the built-in apps, so it's not much of a problem now. I'll go searching for the navbar issue, I hope it won't be too intense. Haha.

I attached the screenshot in case people still don't get what I mean. Cause I'm horrible at explaining.

using MX Player

using default video player (you see, it leaves that black space)

Reading my post again, I deeply apologize and beg for your forgiveness. I was trying to put it in the most friendly manner I could. I am, in a way, a perfectionist, and I don't like seeing the calculator ugly when it's in landscape (if you haven't seen it, please check).

I hope he replies, so I could get direct support from the developer. I was hoping to help in the development of this ROM, guess I should have just got to the point.

By any chance, do you know of a smooth scrolling mod that works for SmoothROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rydog66:
I will also search the thread when I'm done at work, so please post an update if you find it or figure out a different solution, so I don't waste my time. I have had Great results with NOS 4 cyl turbo (link below). It gives a nice little boost. I personally don't like to apply any mods to a freshly flashed rom. I give e it time to settle in, perhaps change kernel and let that settle, to see how the bare rom functions. That way I have a good solid reference point for if/when I apply any modification(s) again one at a time with plenty of space between so I know what's doing what and what mod isn't doing anything. Plus it makes troubleshooting much easier than flashing a rom then changing Kernels then applying half a dozen mods and a theme and restoring 157 apps and data on TiBu, etc......... you get my point. If there's even a slight issue that's more annoying than anything, like a reoccurring notification. It's a train wreck to sort out. That's the ONLY performance mod I added. I did tweak my GPU from directions in my Kernels XDA thread. (Motley)

Good Luck

1. Wake Issue is caused by Bricked Kernel, it is a really awesome kernel fast smooth and all but there is an issue with it. If you get stuck on wake, just hold the power button 15 sec and it will be fixed. Right now, I believe it is a small cost for what it is worth :)

2. News 24 works great on my side with any kernel

3. It is already based on AOSP JRO03R

4. Latest aosp 4.1.1r6 is JRO03R, JRO03S sources are not released yet

Alrighty, James, you remember I told you that V6SuperCharge messes up the status bar and soft keys? It's actually the patching tool, not the script from zeppelinrox. I've tried manually working on zeppelinrox's method to patch service.jar, it works great and nothing wrong has happened to the status bar and soft keys so far. I've reboot my tablet like 6 times already, and they still stay solid, no random disappearing. Lol

Great ROM....very smooth, very stable.. Think maybe you can add the USB storage option like in AOKP next update? So I can mount my flash drive without having to use stick mount. Maybe others would like that also.

First ROM flash in three months. I thought I was cured by going to a nexus device, but this bad boy reminds me how nice a well developed ROM can be!

Running this with the Franco kernel and the idle battery seems to drain a little faster. Other than that this is very nice! Probably will hold me over for another couple months!
