Sometimes the screen goes off in twrp to save battery..... Pressing power button doesn't wake it up, tapping the screen and swiping the unlock switch does. Flash smooth room, and when the flashing starts after you choose our options..... Tap on a random part of the screen every 10 seconds to keep it awake so you can monitor the flash process. Once it says it has flashed successfully, then you can reboot. Sometimes, when it is a success the installer can sometimes go black screen after you hit reboot. If that happens, hold in power button only for 15 seconds and it will reboot like normal. If it still fails, check your download against the md5.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] limaunion:
Ok. The md5 checksum is ok. I can't flash again because I don't see the Smooth zip file, it seems that the whole zip file was uncompressed and installed during the first try. I can navigate thru all the directories, but for some reason it can't boot the OS.

How can I transfer the zip file in order to retry the operation while the nexus is running TWRP ?

TIA!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
First, I'd ask.... Are you SURE you don't have the zip file? Second, if u don't, then you may have to use the toolkit to push a stock rom. The toolkit can get going if you boot the tablet into the bootloader. (volume middle+power for 15 seconds) I'm not sure about stock twrp, but the multirom twrp can access a USB stick, so you could download rom and transfer via otg easily. Can stock twrp mount a USB stick via otg? I don't know the answer to this one.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] limaunion:
ok, by choosing to reboot in 'bootloader' mode I could access again the device from the JROMFlasher and restart the whole process.

Everything went fine this time, I have now my nexus running flawlessly. I don't know what might have gone wrong during the first try.

Thanks all very much for your fast help!!

Jamesst20,

Is root retained after flashing the ROM? I've had issues with SlimROM losing root after flashing a 4.3 ROM...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
I've had no issues in loosing root after installing any SmoothROM versions. Titanium doesn't seem to like the implementation of Superuser included with this ROM and recommends installing SuperSU but that's the only hiccup I have encountered in this version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yowhatup:
That is my experience as well on both my Nexus 7 2012 devices. No issues other than the warning from TB, so I installed SuperSU and all is happy.Can't wait for 4.4! :)

Using Xposed module "gravityBox" I can use "expended desktop" through the power screen's button. :victory:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
nice..... I also found an app in playstore called "full! screen" that works but your fix sounds better, thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nlabrad:
Well i'm sorry but I have to say that I came back to stock. It was very slow lately. Took like 5 secs to turn on the backlight and from there a bit more to display the lock screen AMD sometimes it needed a few taps to the button.

The multitasking was impossible. Even when killing all running, opening an app was very slow.

Don't know what caused it. Now in stock everything is normal. (Restored a nandroid with the old data)

I clicked the wrong qoute but someone mentioned ram usage on the last page....

Same here. Rom runs great but the ram is being eaten and eaten fast. I know it is supposed to free ram on its own but it dont seem to be when load is too high or something. I have uninstalled apps and even did a complete factory reset with a reload of just Dead Trigger 2 installed and other supposed safe apps like Facebook and such. Dead Trigger 2 will fill it completely then freeze the tablet completely. I Was keeping mum about it so I was not a bother but had to say I am seeing the same kind of ram usage but running services and cached services do not add up. I bought Watchdog pro and see more realistic totals but just don't know why it is not freeing ram up when it needs too.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] neworgoo:
Hi, I'm on v5.1 and will be flashing to v5.3. Can you see any issues with this or should I flash 5.2 first and then to flash 5.3? Or can I just flash straight on to v5.3?

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Android Development] robrooter:
Yea. Have that done. That is a must have app for me. Just double checked it and all in hibernation. It a head scratcher for me. Heck Greenify was my first step at a solution before wipe. Usually I leave things like FB open. Not for this thou. Thanks for the help thou. So far it is just the one app but that is the only game I have been playing recently. Thinking about buying ram booster or something like that. Will continue to try to resolve this on my own and will keep the thread posted. Am open to any options.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Been running since release.... over a week I think...... Nice job.

1. The xposed installer and gravity box give perfect expanded desktop and PIE. The "app settings" xposed module works for forcing landscape on all apps and per app dpi also works. Thumbs up for whoever suggested it!

2. The app "full! Screen" also gives expanded desktop automatically on a per app basis

3. Latest Firefox and "desktop by default" add on has flawless flash. I sideloaded newest flash and I also used the latest lucky patcher to patch flash for hulu , and hulu free episodes and movies are also streaming great.... But sometimes rewind and fast forward crash the browser, just restart it.! I also added hulu exception to hosts file, really easy Google it.

4. Xbmc works for Justin.tv and crackle, with no ads!

Thanks again Op...... Wonderful job!

i'm running into a bit of a problem installing smoothrom v5.3, im sure i wiped properly it just gives me an error i tried installing multiple times no luck i installed previous versions of smoothrom before no problems at all but this version 5.3 is giving me trouble. i have (2012) nexus 7 8bg wifi model running 4.3 if that helps and here is the error im getting in aroma installer and it happens after i go through the setup of this rom says installing after it completes then i get an error. any help will be greatly appreciated.

I know i wiped correctly but how do you properly wipe without any possible error?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] COfatboy:
It's the latest TWRP recovery causing this, downgrade it to 2.6.3.0 or use CWM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MerkYa23:
i'll try this out and ill report back
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WTFD4V1D:
Where are you guys getting your YouTube app from? I downloaded it from the Play Store. Everything works fine, except when I try to log in, it says "This action is not allowed".
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MerkYa23:
it worked perfectly but i checked the ram usage and its at 800mb whats up with that
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
this 800mb seems to include whats cached in ram as well. mine has always been between 750 and 850....but not including whats cached is only 450mb. what amount of RAM being used does not reflect how much is really available in the android system. if you are really using that much then wow, thats quite a bit.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] wtherrell:
This is my sixth rom on my N7 (grouper) . After my device began to experience the much discussed lag and hearing all the hype about "trim" & 4.3 I decided to finally let go of my favorite JBSourcery rom. I wanted to try an AOKP & after much research decided to go with SmoothRom 5.3 & M - kernel a63.1. :p To say that I am well pleased would be an understatement. Somewhat of a masochist, I have read through the 572 pages of posts in this thread so I guess I am up to date on it. Several observations :

1. The rom is an excellent piece of work.

2. What patience you guys have! Putting up with the same questions every few posts by folks too lazy (or dumb) to read or search.

3. Goomanager. Never, ever, ever works. Server is perpetually down. I have about given up on it.

4. James, thanks kid. Great work. A donation is on its way.

Did you install SuperSU over the SU integrated into this ROM or is SU somehow supposed to be uninstalled first. I also want to install SuperSU. PLEASE HELP
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yowhatup:
I just installed SuperSU on top of the existing. It rebooted into TWRP and then installed. No problems since.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drjat:
I have CWM recovery. ....does this matter.

And what happened to the SU menu in your device settings?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yowhatup:
What menu are you referring to? I have a SuperSU menu in Settings. Now applications that need root pop the SuperSU modal.

Not sure on the CWM question since I don't use it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] drjat:
In Settings....System.....just above App Ops menu.

In the original ROM....... it has SU menu....... # Superuser.

If I install SuperSU... would this menu option change to SuperSU?

quick question

I have the 2012 16gb wifi version, it's rooted with twrp installed, and I cannot for the life of me get this ROM to install. The aroma installer starts, i choose options, it says it installs, but instantaneously, and then TWRP tells me no OS installed...can someone help me?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wyldkard:
It shouldnt because Superuser is built into the rom. SuperSU will just run independently
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BullSpit:
Have you tried redownloading the ROM? Your file may be corrupt.

Have you used Wugs Toolkit? It will help you to get back to stock. I have the same device and Wugs has saved my a$$ many times.

Is your device unlocked also?

Are you using the latest version of TWRP?

Wugs will unlock, root and put the latest TWRP on the device for you.

I would get it back to stock, and use Wugs to root and unlock....then try flashing again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Well, Im running this and trying kitkat via multirom on bootloader 4.18, so you don't need a newer one, but I wonder if his is older, like 4.13. how old of a bootloader will still run 4.3? only other thing I can think of.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] 1990clb:
Yeah I only need it to reduce the size of my nav bar, so it should be fine :thumbup:

EDIT: You know what I've just realised. You can actually change the size of the Nav Bar right from the ROM Control menu in Settings on this ROM...... Please tell me this is a new feature that was released in 5.3? If not, I feel really stupid, because that was the whole reason I went to PA in the first place! Doh!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dspcap:
So this rom is for the 3G version?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ItachiLvrX:
Oh my god, you are amazing. This worked perfectly! I now have SmoothROM 5.3

Now my only issue is...how do I access developer options on this ROM? I tried clicking many times on the build number and nothing...any ideas?

EDIT. Found the developer options app, can finally access them :D Quick question on top of this though, I remember SmoothROM having a clear all for recent apps? Not necessarily kill all apps, but clear them all out so I don't have to swipe each one individually away...how do I do that?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
xposed installer+gravity box, reboot. Then, open gravity box app > miscellaneous tweaks > clear all regents > pick which corner. FYI, the function is the same just has an animation as well. I'm sure if you really wanted you could also hide the kill all button.

Hope I'm not disappointed

I'm no one who matters, just a ROM cooker/kernel tweaker, but I've been through all the ROMs, and this is that one that you leave on there. also, look into "multirom" so u can play with other ROMs as secondary.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] AceNJ:
I love this ROM but I the N7 is unable to keep up with me at times. I do a lot of multitasking, game playing, and typing using Swiftkey. It lags quite a bit at times especially when switching apps (2-4 sec delay) and to bring up the keyboard (3-5 sec delay). I'm wondering if 4.4 is any better in these respects? From what I think I understand 4.4 is a little more lightweight so I'm hoping it is a bit smoother in such operations.

This isn't an issue with my install... This is typical behavior for me based on the apps and the way I use my device. I just thought the N7 hardware with this ROM would have been better able to keep up with me than my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone or Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" for instance. The N7 2013 edition did a much better job of keeping up with me but that was also a completely different ROM; really not a fair comparison. I'm just trying to understand if I can make my situation better via software or if I just need to move away from this device.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
It really isn't a fair comparison between the 2012 and 2013 models. The latest has more RAM and is better optimized because of the extra overhead. At this point, if you're finding yourself taxing your N7 on your most used tasks, it may be time to switch. The software will only get you so far, unfortunately.

Tried different 4.3 ROMs in combination with different kernels.ppp widget does not connect. So it seems to be a general 4.3 issue. Went back to 5.2, and everything works fine again.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] browy:
Thank you for your reply but it's not what I meant. I mean triple tap really wakes up my screen, not zoom it in. Press the power button to turn off the screen, tap 3 times on the black screen, the tablet is turned back on.

The feature "magnification gestures" is already off, I tried to turn it on and off again but the issue is still there.

Doesn't wake up my screen, what kernel are you using?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] talktoraj83:
jamesst20...please take some time and look into it...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
this is a KERNEL feature. its in mkernel and oxydo......and whenever I've tried mkernel.......regardless of the ROM, I had bad battery drain and I suspect the tap 2 wake wake lock too. I asked about it in the Mkernel thread and the Oxydo thread but no one else seems to have the issue, or maybe they are not bothered by it. I can assure you, it is not a feature of the ROM. If you check the kernel threads....... There is a way to turn it off. Or...... Just use "bricked" kernel. His hotplug is awesome and his modified on demand governor gives me 5.5 hours screen time with No lag.
