Seriously man I've tried every single Rom in the forums and didn't like any of them with my respect to the devs but they're aren't really fast.. it's just something in your Rom that makes it so smooth and fast ... It's like you feel the fluidity,the name of the Rom does really express how the Rom really is .. thanks for your work man.. I remember when I first got my nexus I felt it was alright .. then I flashed your Rom I was like damnnn it's waaayyy smoother.how dis I used to handle the old laggy ****...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] swali77:
I love this ROM so much I'm going to wait until you can get the work done. I'm also in school while working full time so I understand your situation. If I had some extra money I would gladly donate to fund a new external drive for you. I would recommend using cloud storage in the future along with your external for added protection of your essential data. I use it to maintain extra copies of school assignments, notes, and research. Thanks for your hard work, James.

Hi James, thank you for the amazing rom, it's the best rom I have ever used, I have upgraded to the Nexus 7 2013 and understand you are tight on time so I was just hoping you could give me some tips and information on where I could learn about creating custom optimized roms like you create. Any beginners links would be appreciated, I really look up to you, you're an awesome developer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GialanG:
I really miss you when using N7 2013...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Qwerty123 \m/:
Man i'll miss this rom on 4.3 :(

Anyways, Cheer up mate, have great year aheadin college :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Seifer:
hello,

i installed the rom but i only see several apps. is this a common problem? got an easy fix?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinyhead:
reflash it again and the aroma installer should give you options to select certain GAPPS. I remember I had a few issues with aroma, where it would locked up but I would just reflash it again.

flashing onto 4.3 N7

Just got a N7 (2012). Just rooted. Wanted to know if I can install this ROM even though im on the official 4.3 build (Received it that way).Can I just flash normally like any other ROM on a custom recovery or is there a special way to go from 4.3 to a 4.2 ROM? Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinyhead:
Yes you can like a normal ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 00mpollard:
I got a nexus today running stock 4.3 and installed this rom along with twrp fine :D

Fantastic rom by the way, thank you!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
You know you make a good ROM when you have people downgrading android versions to use it. I miss smoothROM on my nexus 7 2013 :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinyhead:
I agree. I am waiting for the next version. This is very smooth and stable.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] swali77:
Just got a notification from Goo. An update for your ROM is available. Can I just flash it or does 4.2 - 4.3 require a full wipe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Freshtojeff:
Just saw this too. Unfortunately the servers are down. Looking to see if james provides us an update ! :victory:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maris__:
I am quite sure this is an erroneous message due to the inavailability of the GOO servers. Otherwise Jamesst20 would notify us in this thread about a new version of his ROM.

With best regards, maris

I can't use landscape mode :/

I allowed it but when i rotate my n7 nothing happen

Can anybody help please
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maw230:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] stitch01:
After updating to 5.2, I've been getting an error every time I try to access the theme on settings and also there is a white line above (just below the status bar) whenever I'm in an app. Please see screenshots. How can i fix these? Thanks!

This is still such a great ROM!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinyhead:
I dont have my tablet with me, but you have to increase the font size of the status bar from the default to the next size up.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adin59:

Everyone is talking about 5.2 (4.2.2) version... But;

WE STILL WAITING FOR AN 4.3.1 UPDATE !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] OzBoy08:
Unbelievable. Don't you read the previous 2-3 pages of posts before you post at all ? The developer has had a technical failure (read the pages to find out what) and has STOPPED development of this ROM for now. Read the other pages to find out what he said about continuing. And don't be so arrogant as to expect everything to happen when you want it to. Furthermore, if you read the previous 2-3 pages, you will notice that another contributor has already recommended a replacement ROM whilst we wait for SmoothROM to restart. Which ROM ? Read the past 2-3 pages.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shinyhead:
It is under settings for aokp I think. Sorry but I gave my n7 to my mom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Its kinda rude to ask for new builds, but Im sure if the OP was set up for it, he would do it. Over a million views :eek::eek::eek: .....BLEEP happens. I was just gonna say that the AOKP build here is a fine rom too:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176535

If 4.3 is a must, it'll do just fine. 30 total posts and from Turkey.... things are bound to get lost in translation, both ways. :highfive: There's many other great devs/roms on xda, but not a lot of difference from 4.2 to 4.3, bit more security is all.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] everesee:
I'm following this thread for about 4-5 months... I'm not asking about "an update" rudely , only saying "We are still here, don't give up this good project!"

And; My nationalty is problem for you?! Yes, I'm from Turkey but I don't understand what do you mean with this stupid part of your text... I already use "Buttered ROM", I know it's only alternative ROM for SmoothROM ( I'm not a newbie LOL :confused: )

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

I'm following this thread, maybe much more than you. I read them already... My purpose isn't a rude thing -i said it my previous message- , i said only "We are still here, keep it up!" I wrote it indirect but it's your problem, you didn't understand it. Please don't be against me for unnecessary reasons :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] OzBoy08:
Hey buddy! Relax. Not too sure if you know that using all CAPS in an online forum implies shouting or demanding. It has nothing to do with my understanding. And read your post again, you wrote "WE STILL WAITING FOR AN 4.3.1 UPDATE !" and that is what [MENTION=4035939]redeyedjedi[/MENTION] and I have taken a dislike to. When you use all CAPS in this forum, you WILL (notice the shout) get people upset/annoyed. Every other XDA user on this thread would have interpreted it exactly like [MENTION=4035939]redeyedjedi[/MENTION] and I did. And like I said in my response, if you had bothered to read the previous 3 pages (properly), you would have realized what problem [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION] is having and that he has temporarily suspended the development of this ROM. I don't think he has forgotten us but has other priorities in life ATM. So asking for an update ATM is like asking someone to give you a bar of gold, in other words, it ain't gonna happen. Like you, I love this ROM but am happily waiting for the dev to get the ball rolling again. So don't take this personally but learn not to write in CAPS and everyone will cut you some slack. Your nationality is not an issue on XDA but I would definitely refrain from calling other users stupid. Keep well.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] everesee:
Ah ok; i wanted a new update rudely, i shouted all of users and said them "stupid" ( if you notice i called him text stupid ) ... And really my nationality is big problem for you and [MENTION=4035939]redeyedjedi[/MENTION]... Cause you and [MENTION=4035939]redeyedjedi[/MENTION] be against to me directly... Very well :good: You can continue from this posture, i'm quit...

An addition; Are you thread's owner's lawyer ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GialanG:
LOLOLOLOL get ur @$$ out of here
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
We don't have to be lawyers to find your actions uncalled for. These threads are meant for release announcements and bug-reporting and topical conversation regarding the ROM. Forum etiquette dictates that requests for status updates on development or flat out requests for an update time frame are forbidden. Some threads are stricter than others and the moderators will ban you. Others are more relaxed. But we all play a role in making sure these threads don't devolve into nothing but whining about not receiving updates or wishing for features that other ROMs have. Our devs are doing this of their own free will and releasing these ROMs to us without the expectation of being compensated for the time and hard work. They do this because they want to and we at the very least owe them the respect they deserve for the hard work they do. That includes making sure these forums stay free from demands for updates.

You say your intentions were merely to say that we are still here and to not give up on this good project. Then why not say that. The way you phrased your post was that we are all talking about an older version but we are waiting for the newer one, all while typing it in all CAPS, which is netiquette for implied shouting. Your nationality was mentioned only because they (rightfully) assumed that English isn't your native language and these conversational conventions might not be well known to you. They were making an assumption that perhaps you weren't being properly understood because of the language barrier on both sides of the conversation. They weren't inferring that you were in any way inferior and it certainly wasn't meant as a derogatory remark. In the end, your intentions may have been well and good, but so are ours. Both sides misunderstood the other, lets move on.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eddyedwards007:
Beautifully put sir ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
....went ahead and tried the newer version of the buttered aokp, and it is how I remember.......silky smooth just like this one, and a few bugs with tablet ui, but it still is good enough for use. I commend mrrobinson and jamesst for their hard work. 4.2.2 isn't as secure as 4.3 with selinux, but staying with smoothrom you aren't missing much!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] OzBoy08:
Mate, did you use a different kernel as well ? If so, which one did you use ? I am currently on Franco but read somewhere that Franco wasn't behaving well with Buttered.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Mate, I am going to be a man about this and say, if I have offended you, I apologise. Believe me, I am an Indian so to me, your nationality really is not an issue. Please accept my apology and now let's move on. This is the last I am going to write on this issue.

Decided to try buttered rom last night as this rom hadn't been updated for a while, ( I know the reasons why ;) ) spent about an hour and a bit wiping, installing and setting back up. Get up this morning and, ha ha, the rom is updated! Buttered was fine for the little time I spent with it but I've had smooth rom 5.2 for about four months without any issues so just had to come back to this :) One question, I used Faux's kernel with 5.2 (bought the app) can I use it with 5.3? I've no plans to at the moment as the recommended kernel seems to be so smooth, but would just like to know for reference. Many thanks [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION]

Yes, that was because of the imcompatible kernel. However, my experience with the ROM is not very smooth. It was like the ROM got overloaded somehow and it responds very slowly.

I just found out the problem. It was because of the apps I backed up in SmoothROM 5.2. They somehow don't fit in 5.3 anymore.

And I always wipe everything. I even clear the internal storage (even though it was always unnecessary). The ROM is working like a charm now. very smooth.

Thank you sir!!! (:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
excellent tablet ui improvements. If you hide navbar, and want to re-enable it, the quick settings toggle works, power button menu options only work in phablet ui... based on the code it expects the navbar to be hidden. So, if you swipe up from the bottom to show the navbar, then unhide the navbar by quicktoggle, you get a systemui crash. if you simply wait for the navbar to autohide again (about 3 secs, adjustable) then you can properly unhide it without system ui crash. this applies for tablet ui, and is not really a bug, just a tip for users. I was having issues with navbar hide causing next launcher, xbmc, and others to only run in portrait mode, but that appears to be fixed, and I am very thankful for that sir!

clean wipe and lean kernel........ +1 no developer options

just to report.....no disappointment here.

Thanks james, i was missing smooth ROM since 4.3. Everything is working fine. Just a few questions/suggestions.

Is it possible to ship it with SuperSu instead of superuser? For some reason I had to switch it back or TitaniumBackup hanged while restoring the apps.

And maybe it's just my taste but the stock or Google play boot animation seems nicer on a nexus. But it's not important.

Thanks again, I love this ROM.

For the developer option, it really looks like it won't show up in the Settings app.

While this gets fixed, just install from Google Play Store "Developer Option" which is a shortcut to the Dev Options :) It works flawless!
