I've no idea what is different in 3G version, I would need to make some research to make it compatible but I have no device to test it :S
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Well since it is based on stock and I haven't modded that part, it should be the same as stock.

You could use a custom launcher :)

Hmm Device related I guess :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RunNgun42:
You can enable sync under the Data Usage options under Wireless Networks. It's a little buried and I was in the same boat as you, but it's there and you can choose exactly what you want to have auto-sync. It's just all disabled by default. You might also want to peak into the apex settings by long-pressing the home screen anywhere. There are a bunch of other settings like increasing the screen width (there are artificial borders preventing widgets from taking up the entire screen) and hiding the google search bar.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ivizoid:
I didn't see this answered: if I install with Tablet UI, will I get to choose between Tablet UI and stock UI or is it you choose one or the other? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
No, the choice you make it at the install :P if you wish to change, you got to reinstall the rom :p. I'm planning to make this activatable from settings but it wont be for next update ^^
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dudeldei:
I have the same issue with sound. When connecting a headset (tried two different koss portapro) I hear 'crackle, noisy' sound...like it's a bad connection on the plug or something...

I haven't really tested this with other ROMs, but have tried to change kernel from Motley to Franco, but the issue is still there...

Will try reflashing a new ROM today if this doesn't help. I'll try to go back to stock and then I guess it's replacement next.. :(

Besides this... Thanks for a great ROM! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Np :) Well just try with Stock Kernel and see if it is fine ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dudeldei:
It actually helped flashing a different ROM....sound is clear as it should be now, with no noise 'whatsoever'....so I don't know what the reason for this sound issue can be? Can ofc try to reflash back to SmoothROM and see if issue reappear...

Maybe others can try to plug in some headphones and check this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
It is fine on my side x) But yeah just wait for the update to 2.3, it should be alright since it will be based on latest Android build + new updated drivers :)

Should be out tonight or tomorow, it depends on how fast the computer will build :p it is building right now since 5 mins and it takes like 5 hours xD
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cynikalJ:
Wow 5 hrs, that's ridiculous
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Restarted the compilation, what about 720P Camera :) ? I just added it! :D

No joke :P I have an Intel Core i7 with 4 GB Ram running Linux Mint 13 and a full build with everythinf cleaned including ccache it takes up to 5 hours :P But yeah I still have stuff to do after the compilation ^^
[Nexus 7 Android Development] H3IN3K3N:
Well, 5 hours is a short time, when i see how many hours i use this rom and love it :)

This is my daily rom. It has been it for a week now. The funny thing is, im a flash whore. But this rom just takes the "flash whore" outta me haha.

Keep up the great work ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :) you're just like me, I hate to have the feeling of using a 'dirt' Rom :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cynikalJ:
Just so you know I have flashed some other Roms and I always come back here. Also I am using GlaDos kernel and it seems good!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :) The next update of SmoothROM will be even smoother :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tseng17:
This is the best ROM I have installed so far.

Right after installing the 2.2ROM, I flash the asus Traditioanl Chinese Input method, and everything works beautifully.

Eagerlly waiting for the 2.3 and play with it.

By the way, I am using the franco r13 + TabletUI.

Which recovery do you think is better?

TeamWin or CWM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks NP :) Both does the same job, I prefer the UK of CWN, this is also why I'm using it :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks NP :) Both does the same job, I prefer the UI of CWM, this is also why I'm using it :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
New update of faux's has been released as well. Don't forget it James :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I won't! :) I'm working hard on integrating gapps in my ROM right now
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Second thought, there is an update of the drivers out there. I think it should be included as well. It really improves the screen responsiveness ^^

Install

Hello I have stock rooted ROM 4.1.2 with CWM

I want to install this rom but I'm a newb and Slightly confused by the instructions. When I go into recovery what do I wipe? And will that also wipe my entire SD card (internal) ?

Any bugs with this ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Look a few posts back for the JROMFlasher link and use it to upload the ROM to your nexus after using it to properly wipe.

Worked great for me!

And yes it will wipe your sd!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] racer321:
I do not have access to a computer :/ how else would I do this this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
First download the rom zip. If you have cwm just reboot to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik (probably not necessary) and then flash this rom. If you dont know how to boot to recovery, use the quick boot app which youll find in the play store.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
While this should work, I will just say this is what I tried initially, and I was faced with a few problems. Minor ones, but who knows what else would have shown up eventually.

That being said, I think it is worth a try. This rom is smooth. Surprise surprise :D If you have questions about getting the JROMFlasher to work without a computer, I would ask in that thread.

And don't forget to let us know if it works for you!

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

What are you guys on? You pumping meth into those things?! What kernel you running?

Please share some secrets!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] racer321:
Can I flash this over 4.2.1? or will I need to downgrade first?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
You can flash this after a proper wiping. This includes the kernel (in the installer you are given a choice of kernels). I flashed this as my first ROM after rooting 4.2.1

I recommend using JROMFlasher to wipe, then push the ROM zip to your N7 and then flashing. As I stated a couple posts back, I had a little trouble when I wiped and flashed with just recovery. Can't say you'd have the same trouble, but JROMFlasher isn't difficult, and that way you know you have a good install.

P.s. to avoid the issue coming up later, yes JROMFlasher wips your SD. Make sure you back it up.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iifuzz:
I cant update my Nova Launcher either.. It says package error, please uninstall old version or something..

Anyone????
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] englefield:
I had to replace novalauncher.apk in system/app using root explorer to update it as I had to same error message trying to install it normally.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sjod8998:
Same problem here. I suppose you have installed the tablet UI. That's the problem, in order to update you have to flash the ROM again and choose the native UI. It's your choise
[Nexus 7 Android Development] EhHowzit808:
What I did to update nova was to install another launcher like Apex. Make that as my default launcher, uninstall nova with a root uninstaller. Then redownload Nova and set that as the default launcher. It FC'd a few widgets but everything went fine after a reboot. The only problem I had was the missing stock power toggle. It was one of the widgets I used the most to turn off wifi when im not using it. Found an app on the playstore that does the same functions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
I am having the same problem but since everything is working OK I decided to wait for 4.2 and hope it will update then. Maybe I am mistaken?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
For a better ui, I suggest you to keep your current as it contains some patch I made.

For 4.2.1 update, it will take a bit because I need to study a lot for my exams, I have 3 exams this week and 6 next week :S but yeah I finish school on friday next week so if I (hopefully not) didn't have time to release it, well expect it close to that day because I will be in vacation :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] smt8544:
Just study for those exams! In the end it's more important than android development (hard to believe I know) :P

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] azmtbiker:
Home screen settings

I have installed the ROM and the clock/remaining battery info is in the lower left hand corner. I would like to have the setting where that is in the upper left hand corner and other buttons are centered at the bottom.

Anyone know how to make that change?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :) But android development is more fun ;) I'm unable to fetch CM10 updates today, 'Unable to lookup github.com (port 9418) (Name or service not known)' I hope it's going to get fixed soon

No idea sorry :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] azmtbiker:
On page one of this thread, two home screens are shown in the right upper hand corner. One has the clock in the upper right and the other in the lower right. One with the clock in the upper right has the additional icons. How does one get this rom homepage to look like that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goofball2k:
meh, you have 2 weeks to provide us a christmas present, no rush yet :p

Great ROM, don't worry about it, I don't think we are suffering because there is not 4.2.1 version. School comes first and if you need to relax, dev away!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HideYoKids:
Just realized that this is 4.1.2.

I've updated to 4.2.1. and just unlocked my bootloader and such. I should NOT flash this, right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dime079:
reflash WITHOUT selecting tablet UI

Alternative 4.2.1 ROM

I'm new to N7 (but already got two ), but I'm already really digging this ROM ;) Thank you jamesst!

But I would like to play with 4.2.1 on my other tablet little bit before jamesst will release the update.

Could you recommend some alternate 4.2.1 rom with the same smoothness and which would preferably played nice with M-Kernel?

But I will be definitely coming back to this ROM on both tablets as soon as 4.2.1 update is up ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
Any way to have the navigation bar setting AND tablet ui?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Oh yeah :P The Clock on the lower right is the tablet UI ;) and on the higer right is the normal ui ;) It is an option you can select while installing SmoothROM. :)

I'm working a bit on version 4.2.1 tonight :) I might be close to release tonight :D (Depends if I can go throught 'fatal: Unable to look up github.com (port 9418) (Name or service not known)')

Edit : I succeeded to go over it, odd why it does that but anyway :p if it ever need anyone the key is to edit the /etc/hosts and add

207.97.227.243 github.com wiki.github.com gist.github.com assets0.github.com assets1.github.com assets2.github.com assets3.github.com

Edit 2 : It is confirmed! SmoothROM will be for Nexus 7 3G too soon!

Edit 3 : Lol they just rechanged all the branches (mr1-stagging to cm-10.1) so I need to redownload.. let's have fun lol. Do you guys know what it means? It means CM10.1 v4.2.1 is getting a lot closer :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fljoe:
Dying in anticipation ... wont be sleeping tonight!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rohan32:
You didn't have to redownload source, just run these two commands in the future...

$ cd wherever/your/source/is

$ repo init -b cm-10.1

$ repo sync

:) will save you a lot of bandwidth.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks @rohan32 I didn't know :)

Wow, did I ever said I hate linux -_-, Software Updates pop up and ask me to install few updates, once they are installed it says I need to reboot but what they didn't tell, was that it was the last time I would see the desktop again --''

Edit : got it.. It was because of ATI
[Nexus 7 Android Development] raddacle:
Ummmm.... does that mean what it sounds like? :eek:

edit: OHH nvd you updated it like the minute I wrote this
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yeah well it could have meant I would need to reformat the os but np for smoothrom since I keep it in an external hdd by now :) Actually, the issue was caused by ATI Driver which edit the kernel so when I updated it, it had overwritten ATI's edits so my whole system would not boot. Anyway, got it fixed by editing bootlevel to 1 to go into Terminal
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mlaws90:
Hey buddy, good to see ya around the Nexus 7 Forums also. Awaiting a new build in your Testing folder :p, I love 4.2 on my HOX(off topic I know). Well I just wanted to say hi, I haven't seen you around the N7 forums before. Talk to ya later and I'm looking forward to the future of AOKP and rohan.kernel.

Oh yeah and uh, SmoothROM 4.2 should be nice.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
Only on an external? Don't you sync it to another drive or a cloud service? Hard drives are crap, I'd never dare to keep important files on only one drive. Anyhow, really looking forward to your next smoothrom!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
cool. enjoying this rom so far.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sagar96:
I am having the wifi issues now... (grey bar and full connection, but no sites load) hoping update fixes it :D :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
You're the only one afaik that is having this issue, maybe you should give a JROMFlasher try ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bbc0:
James I the email progrm which is included in the rom has started to miss some emails in the past two weeks. Could it be to do with all of the app updates that have happened. I have been usung Smoothrom and loving it since Nov 4 and I did use JROM.

BBC0
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I'm not having any issue on this side and the email application isn't a SmoothROM specific application. It comes with android. I can confirm that the issue is only on your side :S
[Nexus 7 Android Development] can7:
Just got my nexus 7 and i want to flash this rom.when i flash roms to my gs3 i always change the default font Roboto-Regular to another font i always use by replacing that file in system/fonts using zip 7.i just tried this but it saying Unspecified error...any ideas why ? thanks...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
ok I have a problem. Everything works with the jromflasher except putting the rom on the sdcard as there is no sd-card. I guess this is caused by the damn user accounts from android 4.2 that have partitioned my sd card somehow. What do I do, sorry if I'm missing something in the thread but I'm a little panicked right now.

edit: sorry I tried once more and now it worked. I think I might have missed mounting everything.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Search the play store for font changer. Works slick as snot on this Rom as it does on all. I use an Ubuntu font I found...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] racer321:
What do you think is the best kernel for great battery life and stability with this ROM? (Good performance would also be good) :P

Has anyone had any problems with tablet ui, specifically running apps? I do really like how tablet ui looks :D but I don't want to many problems with it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Clemsyn Battery saver :p and it doesn't seem to affect performance
[Nexus 7 Android Development] racer321:
Thanks :D I was debating between that kernel and bricked but I will go with Clemsyn Battery saver :)

Have you or anyone found any bugs with using tablet ui? such as problems with apps ...Just want to make sure
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
There is no issue with tablet ui but the worse that can happen is that the application takes the layout for tablet and might be miss sized a bit. Known app that is miss sized is Google Talk. Of course if you change DPI it wont be miss sized but that's not the point :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
My Gmail app keeps force closing.

Useless post I guess since I have no more data to provide. But I guess if other people have it maybe it will show a trend or something.

............

Clemsyn is good eh? I chose bricked in your installer after having only used franco before. The tab isnt super smooth though with that combo. Rough scrolling in chrome and stuttering in ski patrol. I dont really use it for anything else haha.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Voda_Smart_2:
Try to delete user/app data from app management.

I have NO problems with SmoothROM v4.1, thank you jamesst20.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
Tried clemsyns kernel and just now the tablet failed to turn on.

A couple of times it tool 2 or more presses to get it back but then finally failed to come back at all.

This is after just a few seconds of screen off time.

Never had this issue before. Is that SOD?

Anyway I guess it is more a kernel issue but I mention it here because it was the recommended one and comes bundled.

Going back to bricked hopefully that will solve it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Well Clemsyn Kernel install patch the current kernel config you have, I believe if you would have flashed the stock kernel before, you wouldn't have any issue ;) But it is true that Clemsyn kernel might not work on all devices because it use a lower voltage if I remember good and because all device are different it might not work on yours
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
Thanks mate.

You mean I should only flash from stock to clemsyn?

I went from bricked then just used the zip install.

Anyway back to bricked and it seems nice :)

Don't waste any of your 4.2.1 time on me lol.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] can7:
ok silly question and i feel stupid asking it but is this rom for nexus 7 3g & wifi device lol ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Wifi only for right now ;)

SmoothROM 4.2.1 :

- Bye Bye Franco Kernel, Welcome back Motley kernel.

Franco and Faux32 Kernel isn't compatible with latest CM10.1 build which also include SmoothROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
thank you james for this rom!

combines with the gmd gestures its awesome rom very fluid, just reinstalled to try out the tablet mode and its quite good (except with tablet ui and hiding nav. bar makes a small ugly glitch) will wait to your 4.2.1

edit: want to try out the 4.2.1 smoothrom but cant find the links XD are you uploading it or keeping working oon it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Are you going to use the m-plus kernel?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
No the real Motley kernel :) Should I add it? Does it works with CM10.1? Will test it I guess ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I'm still working on it :) Might be out today :P

Edit : I'm all done except on thing. I'm unable to make preinstalled settings for the Tablet UI launcher. I dont know why, it gets overwritten on first boot but if I put them back after, it is alright. It is really odd :S
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DagsJT:
I keep reading that this is the best ROM so waiting for the 4.21 release and I'll grab it and give it a try.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hmm I really can't get preconfigured launcher settings to work.. I'm stuck guys xD :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sjod8998:
Go, James, GOOO !! , just a little cleaning and the work will be done
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha :P I bet there is nothing I can do x) I tried an init.d script but it doesn't work either even if it succeed to move the files in place
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Alright! I'm uploading smoothrom v.4.2.1 but guys! Don't download it yet it is going to take 2 hours :p Yep my connection is bad :P

Known issue :

- Tablet UI : On first setup screen : Espanol and Filapia title takes 2 row so it makes a little glitch. (You wont notice if you don't scroll over them)

- Tablet UI : The launcher needs a setup to looks good. I recommend 6x6 Screen grid, increase of 2 the Drawer rows count+ Disable dock and also make Desktop margin to small

- Normal UI : None
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sjod8998:
YEEES !!, tomorrow will be a great flashing day !!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] spiff72:
Cool! Let us know when it is ready for download!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] johnnyman25:
great news for the 4.2.1 smoothrom!! :D currently im using another rom and i want to flash this one.is it possible to backup all my apps and games then transfer them in new rom?thx!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kendallc123:
You can use an app called titanium backup. It costs money, but is the best app manager tool EVER, and it's worth every penny!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] johnnyman25:
i know that tool!!maybe i have any confilcts if i backup my games+apps then recover them on new rom?thx for help!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BurnOne77:
what kernel? :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
motley I read few pages back

james could you add a poll about tablet ui? how many of you currently use it? I have tried both in smoothrom and personally like more the tablet ui although it gives some bugs.. waiting for your rom! should it be in here right?

http://goo.im/devs/SmoothROM/SmoothROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Colton127:
Will we be able to update directly to the new version? I love this ROM because of tablet mode.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] englefield:
Liking 4.2 smooth... no problems to report and running nicely. Good job Jimmy! :)

Edit... damn it is quite a bit quicker and smooth. Loading apps, scrolling, multitasking are all much better in this 4.2. Happy days

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
Why? Whats the point of that poll?

.......

Just installed 4.2. I just wiped cache and dalvik, should that be ok or I really should do full wipe? (coming from 4.1)

It does have one error that comes up at the start.

Unfortunately clock has stopped

Perhaps thats related to not doing a full wipe?

.......

Also. The teeny tiny clock and status bar. Is that an unavoidable consequence of 4.2.1? Or is there some way to restore to the proper size?

.......

And finally thanks alot mate. Really appreciate your work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Issues are because you haven't wiped properly, but I assume you're using the Tablet Mode UI right ? Well yes for some reason the clock on the bottom right is a bit smaller but I will work on it. It still looks good to me on that size ;)

It is a beta because the Tablet UI isn't as perfect as it was but I did work on it so it is not that bad ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] serx7:
installed clean, bricked kernel, tablet ui. running well for me :)

the camera FC's, not a huge deal but my 3.5 yr old daughter will probably notice it :) i don't mind the smallish status bar icons/clock/etc...
