whoops. yup, Motley 244 is what I Flashed, cleared cache and dalvik, fixed permissions as well. now my N7 is performing like a a stud, instead of a dud when i first got it all stock.

The best rom + kernel combo.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hey guys :)

Will probably release an update this weekend :)

I went throught a huge decision, I might leave Tablet UI support. Google changed the way Tablet UI are and some agree and some disagree. Obviously, these part of codes in Android Open Source Project became death and might even get deleted later. It is like digging stuffs from death. I don't say next SmoothROM updates will not include Tablet UI but I won't work as much as before on it. I know most of you don't even use it so it's not that sad, even I who really loved it will get to use the normal ui :) The normal ui isn't that bad you know.

Why taking that decision? Simply because CyanogenMod project keep growing and right now to get a Tablet UI to works I must fix few stuffs which lead to a few non-working new features.

Hopping you guys understand and for those who don't care about those few lacks of features well I might still make a Tablet UI Patch ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] guidocioni:
Nooooo I can't live without that :banghead:

Hope I can see that patch though:)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
You will probably sees it don't worry :P The thing is that ParanoidAndroid or JellyBeer for exemple forked CyanogenMod and applied their own patch.

There are good points and bad :

Good : Easier to work on

Bad : Doesn't include latest updates/featuree/bug fixes from CyanogenMod. This project has a lot and a lot of changes every day and those ROM doesn't get updated at all. It it like taking CM project and then working on their own separetly.

Hope you guys understand :P

Been running this ROM since I got my Nexus 7 for Christmas and haven't even looked at any other ROMs; this ROM is perfect 4.2.1 tweaked to perfection. Can't wait for an update to see what you have in store for us!

Keep up the great work!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mrazndead:
yea i'm curious of how this rom can get even better? it's pretty much flawless now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] michalurban:
Well, I liked the tablet UI - until I saw how Gtalk looks like. So I switched to the normal UI and customized Apex to my needs. :) Looking sooooo much forward to seeing (and using) the upcoming version!!! :)

OT: Why do so many ROMs (generally, for N7 and Nexus S for example) use NOVA launcher? Is it better in some areas than APEX? :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] reade0871:
I'd Rather you stick more closely to an aosp flavor and I can live without tablet ui.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goofball2k:
You are doing a great service, don't feel bad for releasing anything. I really appreciate everything you are doing, this ROM is great.

Are you releasing 4.3 this weekend?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] reade0871:
Its personal choice for launchers but aosp and others are slightly different on their selections.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yup I wish so :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gen00:
Can't wait for the update.. Been using this ROM since I've gotten my N7 since Christmas.. It's been amazing smooth, fast, battery life is great use my tablet for music all day at work n I got 41% battery left n running 15 hrs.. Thanks for ur Hard work..

So out of no where it seems, my auto-rotate stopped working. I use Nova Laucher, and when I was using gReader it wouldn't rotate, and auto-rotate wasn't locked. In fact, it wouldn't even let me toggle to lock it. I went into the display settings and there is no option for Auto-Rotation. Any suggestions?

tablet ui is dying :crying::crying:

But seriously I understand your point of view. It's googles stupid decision to discontinue it and if I was in your shoes I probably wouldn't try to keep it alive longer either. The only thing why I love tablet UI so much is because I get notifications in the bottom right corner and it is SO convenient when you most likely already have your thumb there. But I'm sure you can manage to put together a nice little patch further on!

As I've said before, 4.2 is the first android version that in my opinion is inferior to it's predecessor. I can't understand how those with a nexus 10 can stand that UI on a 10,1" screen.

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

In my opinion apex is better. Apex is more responsive and sensitive. I am a bit lazy and I don't like to do longer swipes with my index finger or middle finger when scrolling between homescreens or in the app drawer, just a tiny little swipe with my thumb should be enough to jump between home screens. But with nova, stock launcher and all other launchers I've tried except apex 1 out of 10 swipes isn't followed through. It only gets half way and then jumps back to the screen I want to leave, you probably know what I mean. So no it doesn't happen often, but when it does it is annoying as hell. That's the only reason why I use apex.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Thanks, I'll try that once my titanium backup finishes I was about to reflash the ROM I couldn't figure it out. I must have disabled it at some point going through the menu and not noticed it until just now when I tried to use landscape because I'm usually on portrait.

By the way, is there anyway to get a center clock on this ROM? Kinda like in AOKP?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
update? cool!

about tablet ui, I think its quite cool but I ended up using the normal UI + "Expanded Desktop" whenever I felt I was going to be in an app for a long time (reading long pdf etc..) all of this controlled with GMD Gestures which works perfectly with this rom!

Take your time to release the ROM! The thing I most like about SmoothRom v4.2 is that you didn't update you nearly did a final Rom at the first try and some of us don't care to update our nexus 7 each week or so, but now Im in a time where I like to flash something that it works and wont have more updates untill google releases his next version ^^

Really Thank you will look into donate next month when I get some money!

after flashing to JB 4.2, the Notification bar change to the bottom, i wanna kow if it is possible to move the notification to the top?

Please wait for SmoothROM v4.3 that should fix the issue because I don't have it roght now ;)

That's right same here, I might work on this anytime soon to get notification menu by swiping up on bottom right :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] marco5:
thanks so much:)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] michalurban:
Weird stuff. I installed Smooth 4.2 with Chrome browser but after boot, there was no browser. Its really not annoying, just weird ...

And one more thing - I just had a weird restart when I tried to uninstall SimpleCalendarWidget. Suddenly a logo appeared, system booted up ... Is it possibly caused by the fact I have lowered frequecny for screen off max frequency in .58 bricked kernel? But the tablet wasnt sleeping and there was no warning in the installer. No other changes in settings by myself ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kitzie:
Sweep2wake anyone?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
I also found they Robot font to look messed up with lower resolution screens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] serx7:
in the past i defined up a swipe-up gesture (Nova) to expand the notifications, but realized it didn't really help as much as i thought b/c i still had to get up to the top of the screen to access or swipe away entries in the pull down. that was before i came across SmoothROM w/ tablet ui :)

a swipe up near the lower right corner that raises a notifications pane would be cool...

Hi all!

I made a short video about this ROM and also a benchmark test with bricked kernel and with 1.6GHZ too :Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUXw1GuxZhc&feature=youtu.be
[Nexus 7 Android Development] m0nn3:
How can I get bricked kernel to work?

I get a boot loop.

I have installed clemens battery saver.

I wipe cache and dalvik and flash bricked kernel without zram.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Deliverance816:
I installed this rom yesterday after having issues with the Official CM10 and SmoothROM is flawless. I am using the Bricked kernel on the recommended settings and have had no issues. I might play with the other kernels later but the bricked kernel works so well!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] skatin707:
Me too.

Just curious, what kind of screen on time are you guys getting? I got about 3:30 today, which I am absolutely not complaining about. I'm just new to the 7" tablets.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] michalurban:
Well, I rebooted today (yesterday, its 2PM in here) ... but crazy thing is Im getting better battery life from stock/stock combo than from my beloved smootrom ... like 4 percent off during 8,5 hour night when on smooth 4.2 and 0 percent off when on stock 4.2.1. Most weird (did complete wipe before installing smooth and then again before my last change - to my current stock).

PS: Ive got (on stock) 88%, 32 minutes screen on, 15 hours from start ... :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
What kernel? :P If you use Stock, it is not suposed to be better then stock :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] michalurban:
LOL! :D Stock ROM / stock kernel VS smooth ROM / bricked kernel ... :) The stock variant is battery life friendlier for me, dont know why ... :)

EDIT: Bricked 0.58 ... Anyway, looking forward to 4.3 ... :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Bricked as a great mix of Performance & Battery life ;) There are other kernels that are less performant or smooth but use less battery ;) Take bricked kernel, get trickster mod on Google Play Store and change 'on demand' settings and set up threshold to 95, you will see that improves a lot the battery but it doesn't feel as smooth :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Alright! SmoothROM v4.3 is 100% done! Wish I could update Nova Launcher but can't decompile it :/ so I will leave current version! Tablet UI works pretty good, much better then from v4.2!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skatin707:
I really didn't give stock a try. My standby drain is somewhat unpleasant, but I'm biting my tongue until I've given it a few days. I burned almost 10 percent from when I unplugged it to when I actually started using it (about 2 hours).

I'm happy with it though, it's really not bad at all. The smoothness is really worth giving a little battery life.

A new version is exciting as always.

So, unfortunately the status bar is still looking too thick for me on 4.3 tablet UI. Attached is my framework-res.apk which modifies the height from 56dip to 38 dip.

Looks like the framework-res has been modified and preious I used in 4.2 result in bootloop, I guess this will be useful :)

Best Kernel for this ROM? Is Motley good to go now, or should we use Franco? I ask because if Motley was still wonky, I assume it would not have been included this time around? Thoughts?

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

Did a full factory wipe 3 times. Then wiped cache, data, dalvik individually, 3 times each. Installed the newest version of this ROM, and so far performance is very sluggies with the Faux kernel, not sure why. Stutters, lag, systems seems very slow to respond, now sure what is going on...

Wifi speed seems so slow that it is almost unusable. Installing apps from SD card take 10x longer than they usually do.

Anyone have any ideas?

My tablet seems to prefer Motley. I dirtyflashed this ROM over itself but picked Motley this time, and my system seems more responsive. I ran Antutu again, and the score with Motley is a whopping 1,500 points higher. I know that benchmarks are not everything, but it felt smoother with Motley, and when I ran the test it sorta backed that up. The I/O score with franco was 45, with Motley it is 450.

That right there is probably why Franco felt choppy and was taking forever to install anything. The I/O speed was 1/10 of what it should be.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Larrivee013:
Well I wiped dalvik and the other cache, but did not do factory reset, did I have to do it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] andywright1982:
As it is a new base I would suggest a full wipe rather than just dalvik and cache
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Larrivee013:
Thanks that what I did and now it works like a charm! I had to reinstall all my apps but it was worth it!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Weird, with the new Franco, my system is really smooth, smoother then with Stock or Motley. Unsure what is wrong on your side... could you try formatting all partition individually? Including /sdcard and try using one of the 2 recommended kernel which is Franco/Stock

Thanks

Of Course ! If you wiped, then restore, congratz you just put back what you've erased x)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] smokestack76:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
I never restore with TB.

Use Astro File Manager to simply back up all your installed APK's. Then you use Astro to resinstall them to the new ROM. It's just the APK, so you never have to worry about old data from another ROM getting backed up and restored and messing things up.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yeah, it is not recommended to backup /data/data even if it only contains apps preference.

Hey man - just something very small: On the Aroma install screens, you have spelled the word "Recommended" as "Recommanded" ...with an "a". I noticed this in the last version 2.2 as well. Just something to maybe change for the future.

Love your work and the product. Thx a million, man!
