Yay! Its out! I've been patiently waiting for this moment!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BurnOne77:
Are u using bricked .55 ? I'm on smoothrom 4.1.2 with bricked .55 and the kernel is so good I don't want to move lol.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DagsJT:
Reading the release notes, this comes with Motley kernel when flashing the ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chopper70:
I'm coming from SmoothROM v4.1 do I need to wipe user data?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
You can choose which kernel you want during install.

.........

As far as wiping data from 4.1 I just wiped cache and dalvik. But James recommended full wipe.

I get a clock error on boot but it all works fine.

........

Does this 4.2 build have the tile style toggles?

The reason I ask is the settings say it does and 4.2.1 has that as default. But mine doesnt. I still have the list type.

Its so much better. The tile thing is terrible. I thought perhaps it was cus I did a dirty install.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ayopancheezy:
Upgraded from 4.1 with only wiping cache and dalvik. It's running amazingly smooth. Minor click size problem, but but I have no problems with it. Besides that, it's running great. Feels faster than before and I'm even typing more accurate and faster on it. Thanks for the update James!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] steford:
Great effort. Update very smooth. Only minor thing I can see apart from clock size, which doesn't bother me, is that some Settings in landscape (using TabletUI) are slightly cut off on the right hand side - checkboxes and keyboard settings buttons for example.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Just installed it, I read about tablet ui smaller icons in bars so I went normal ui.. (It shows better everything and in the end I use gmd gestures so I dont ever see top bar and bottom bar ^^ but definately tablet ui is better although during time it will be less suported :(

motleykernel doesn't show like smoothest during the instalation, which tests are done to proove this?

I was with bricked on 4.1.2 my experience was really good but Im just trying motley due to this thread!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889571

Edit: seems less smoth to me + no camera like in cm10 :( will keep testing!

Edit2: if you open gtalk and select use camera, it will actually display the camera correctly and it will take photos and such, while is not as at icon? hmmm
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DroidRunner:
Have they addressed the OTG cable compatibility with 4.2?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DagsJT:
Not sure if it's the Motley kernel or not but this feels a LOT laggier and slower than stock did. Getting half second pauses between changing screens, swipes not being registered etc. Feels pretty bad. Hoping it'll settle down or something.

Edit: Something definitely isn't right. Taking 3-4 presses of the home button for it to respond. I've used a lot of ROM's and never had anything even close to the slowness of this.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
for those who awnsered high speed and smooth rom, could you edit your post and tell us what kernel you installed? I didn't have luck with m. kernel going back to 4.1.2 although I will not have swype keyboard :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bonzer2u:
Try a different kernel (bricked), I had the same results with motleys, wipe both caches of course.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
The reason why I didn't writte Smooth under Motley Kernel is simply because it is not. It feels laggy. If you want Something Smooth use has first choice Bricked kernel. Clemsyn Battery Saver is pretty smooth too

I'm using Bricked Kernel and it is a lot smoother on my side then SmoothROM 4.1.2
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DagsJT:
Flashed the Bricked kernel, forgot to wipe cache's, but running MUCH better now :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] spiff72:
Using Motley kernel and Tablet UI here.

I have noticed a couple things - one minor and one major:

1. (Minor) The battery percentage option doesn't show up in the status bar. I am using the circle % mod which ends up being super tiny.

2. (Major) The Rom just doesn't feel smooth. Scrolling/swiping seems rough. Scrolling within apps doesn't seem to have any "inertia" anymore. You also need very long swipes on the screen to move from home screen to home screen (this may have been the case on other ROM's too -- maybe this is a Nova problem?)

I am going to reflash with normal mode and bricked kernel...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Yep Bricked Kernel is awesome :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
The Nexus 7 isn't designed for Tablet UI at first so it won't be perfect. The speed is amazing, just don't use the Motley kernel.

I don't know why everyone take it as soon as I make it back in the installer, it is not even written Smooth under it :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
went back to 4.1.2 just now... I think many people tried out motley 'cause of your screenshot and reading forum you can see very good comments about it!

gonna go back again to try 4.2.1 with bricked (which as I said, it works really good in 4.1.2 with impressive battery life (didn't expect to last longer than 1 day and it did it nearly for 4 days :s) maybe my expectations of battery lifes on a tablet where pretty low and thats why I got impressed
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
You should really try again 4.2.1 using Bricked or Clemsyn Battery Saver ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bazabaza:
Anyone using kaspersky? stops running. Have uninstalled and re-installed but stuck opening.Worked well under 4.1.2.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] larson16:
Anyone tried it with Faux kernel?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Patroy:
How to get status bar clock little bigger in tablet mode? it's too small..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
I used motley because I thought you were recommending it too.

The big difference is I am finding it to be very smooth. Chrome is silky.

I don't know why.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mp3sum:
I like ROMs with a large user base when not hot flashing, as there's usually lots of beta testing going on prior to each release.

What I don't like/understand are claims like these:

Smooth Experience

Really Stable

Much much much more

Responding with "if I don't like it, don't use it" is a cop out to explaining such (improbable) generalities are used as descriptors.

Just throwing it out there, as I'm working to find a ROM with less undercarriage rust proofing and more HP.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hightower68:
Hi guys. Question...

Unless I'm missing something, in what world would someone name their kernel BRICKED. That just screams stay away. Is this a joke?

Must be gullible but I really don't feel like bricking my nexus 7.

You really are using this kernel as fastest one?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sTl2yk3l2:
I got the best battery and speed from the bricked kernel the past couple weeks. Its an awesome kernel. Don't let the name fool you, its just a name.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Doesn't work sorry
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dmora01:
Please, where can I get the bricked .55 kernel? Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
It is an option you select when you install SmoothROM :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hightower68:
Thanks for confirming that. You wouldn't know from the name.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
True that the name is a bit risky but I bet he meant 'Bugs, Slowness bricked' :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pechano:
Thank you all so much for this amazing ROM. I was about to test something else as I was growing tired of not having the 4.2 gesture keyboard. Then the ROM gets updated and is now perfect. It really is just incredibly smooth.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] code_monkey74:
4.2 is running fast and smooth for me. How can I enable expanded desktop or is it not an option?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
4.2.1 with bricked kernel very smooth

for expanded desktop you have to go to: settings>system>power menu> expanded desktop (tick) now you can access to it through power menu!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DroidRunner:
Anyone using 4.2 and an OTG cable?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] m0nn3:
We're can i get bricked 0.55 kernel to flash the zip from recovery. For the smooth Rom v4.1?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] spiff72:
I have now reflashed with the bricked kernel and non-tablet UI. HUGE improvement!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hung77:
This rom seems at first very smooth, but when you use it longer and especially change from portrait to landscape and otherwise then it begins to lag terrible the first few seconds.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GiantsFan91:
updated to 4.2 and bootloop. how can i fix this? i can get in bootloader. no cmw or twrp.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kev94:
Hi there,

Being a huge fan of tablet UI, currently using PA ROM, I decided to try this one out, given the developer says he implemented a tablet UI.

I flashed it, and it turns out it's very smooth and fast. Still, I was very disappointed by the settings of this UI : It's way to big for this screen, and everything gets cropped everywhere.

Would it be possible to make it look like the medium tablet UI as in PA ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
Upgrade your bootloader , check your boot loader version
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GiantsFan91:
how can i upgrade the boot loader? boot loader version is 4.34.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
v4.34? I thought latest was 4.13. Maybe you meant 3.34.

However you flash this using 'fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img'

Bootloader.img can be downloaded here : http://www.datafilehost.com/download-63548633.html

Great ROM....thank you,. Using tablet ui...is there anyway to have the quick settings top of screen right swipe down? Also how do you start Google now? Swiping up doesn't work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] miodrag.cutura:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Btw guys, if anyone of you is using Tablet UI, could you try ADW.Launcher and give me some feedback on this :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dnoren:
I just downloaded 4.2 installed from recovery. Wiped cache, & Dalvik. Did not wipe data. Used bricked kernel everything works great so far. No fc's smooth. Using tablet UI

Thanks

Clock on lock screen is a little funky for me though no real complaints

Does anyone know how to make the grid on the home screen go all the way down to the dock when using tablet ui? If you look at then picture I attached.. The icon for es file explorer in the middle of the screen, that's as close as I can get it to the dock
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rcoil73:


Google now doesn't work because the voice recognition crashes.I can't use voice typing either, how to fix?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rayshun168:
HELP!

After installing 4.2 all file in SD card disappear.

Where can I get back the files?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
where can I download an older version of this rom
[Nexus 7 Android Development] clyde.dalisay:
try another launcher. currently using Nova and it goes all the way to the edges. or maybe edit your grids.

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

using adw launcher ex and everything is to my liking. really don't know what to look for and everything seems to be the same as with Nova. only issue i could find is YouTube tablet mode but them again it's the same with Nova. just hoping that tablet mode will still be developed further and not be abandoned.

you really did a good job on this rom and thank you very much for it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] opz187:
^^yes thank god this has tablet ui. Its a must in the ROM I'm using. This ROM is very snappy too. I like it, first time trying it. Bricked has a new kernel out v.58 and so far so good
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jarayn:
Yes

......

How can I change the setting in the quick settings menu?

I mainly want to get rid of airplane mode but possible add volume slider.

The settings in >System>Quick setting panel Dont seem appropriate/effective. Perhaps because I am in Tablet mode?

.....

Apex launcher works very well ... if thats worth anything to you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Gerigo-Greece:
OTG on 4.2

As far as I can see the 4.2 does not address generically the OTG issue. If you use an app from Play Zone i.e. stickmount it works perfectly.

Weird symbol ( -1 and an antenna?) in status bar?

Hello all,

I have just installed SmoothRom 4.2 - and now I see a weird symbol in the status bar (see the picture - circled in red).

Would anyone know what that is for?

Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] myTouchJosh:
Looks like radio signal icon to me but could be wrong.

What clock widget is that. Can you tell me please. !!?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Normal UI

It looks like a radio symbol - but my tablet has Wifi only, and the symbol is new, never saw it before. And its always there, even on the lock screen. I am not sure if it was there on Smooth Rom 4.1 - maybe not, but not sure. Maybe its a bug in Smooth 4.2?

Stuck on Boot Logo

Fresh install. I can't figure it out. Over 10 minutes of the android logo with the green circle goind around and around. I have even tried reflashing. Wiping Dalvik and different kernels. I can reinstall stock firmware but not this one. I have previously had good luck with 4.1. I am not sure what to do.

how i can overclock gpu with this kernel?anyone knows?

Would someone please explain the difference in tablet UI and normal UI please. I have always selected tablet and never tried normal mode.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yuvi100:
Did you also do Factory Reset @ the WIPE menu or just wiped Cache and Dalvik . I had the same problem and once I also did the factory rest all went well. Check out the link.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] AlexsamaM:
This rom has expand desktop in power menu settings?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] CamFlawless:
It has the option to place it on the power menu, yes. It is not there by default so it must be added through the settings menu.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shortbus1234:
Ok I got it to work not sure exactly what did it but here is my process.

1. Do Factory restore with Nexus 7 Toolkit

2. Choose option 8 "1-CLICK FOR ALL" - Follow instructions to install the recommended settings and installed clockwork recovery vs TWRP which I has previously used. I think the main thing is that you need to make sure your device has been Unlocked and Rooted.

3. Copy rom to SD card

4. Enter clockwork recovery and wipe Dalvik, Factory reset,

5. Install rom

Works so I am happy.

Hope this helps someone else out.

Didnt you use your n7 at all before rooting and flashing? Normal ui is the standard ui you have before flashing custom roms or modding.

You are right but in this thread we dont use the "OMG READ OP!!!!!" or "USE GOOGLE!!!!" mentality. That stuff I had enough of in one of the LG forums.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
There are 2 files in /system/etc ;) no frameworks stuff ;)

Btw, i've seen a lot of bugs mentionned but I didn't not have any of them. You guys should try JROMFlasher. True there are few settings that currently doesn't work and I believe some of them might only work in Normal UI right now.

Edit: Tested new v0.58 of Bricked Kernel and works good :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kanc3r:
I was on stock 4.2, rooted, unlocked. In TWRP wiped cache and dalvik. Install seemed fine. Stuck on droid logo after 20 minutes.

Went back into TWRP and tried again with stock cm10 kernel instead of bricked and formated data + factory reset. Same thing as before.

Finally I just formatted the entire drive and pushed the rom over with adb and loaded no problem. Seems to be fine so far with about a half a days use. I am using battery save kernel and no tablet ui. Just thought I'd share my experience since I saw a couple of perople having issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
am I missing something yet again? In this rom just updated why doesn't auto rotat work on the home screen?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] hasenbein1966:
Er, don't beat me for the stupid questions, please:

1) I'm running SmoothRom 4.1 with Bricked Kernel .55. Is the new Bricked .58 compatible with that ROM? Or only with 4.2?

(I don't want to upgrade to 4.2 at this time because of the little problems.)

2) Can I just flash Bricked .58 without wiping anything? And, if something doesn't work out so good, just go back to .55?

3) Does "Audio DAC support" in Bricked .58 mean that I can attach USB DACs and they will work? (This is the main reason I want to upgrade the kernel.)

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WangLung:
For your first question I would take a look in the bricked kernel thread. Should be listed. If it says 4.1 no go if it says 4.2 you're golden. For your second question all I can say is that I completely wipe everything every time I flash something new. Soooo...haha
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laill:
Strange, once I switch chrome to system app, it just crash. It says critical components are missing

Cheers,

L
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hasenbein1966:
I of course looked already in the Bricked thread, otherwise I wouldn't ask.

Neither in that thread nor on bricked.de there is anything about whether .58 is compatible with 4.1 ROMs.

And of course always the SAFEST, idiot-proof way is to wipe always before flashing anything, yes. But my question was whether it REALLY matters in this case or if it would be basically possible to exchange the kernel "on the fly" without wiping.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Bricked works in 4.2.1 and 4.1.2 too ;) You do know there is no real issue right? 20% of people understand what the words 'wipe' mean so of course the issues come with that misunderstanding ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
BTW guys, ADW.Launcher is awesome with Tablet UI or Normal UI!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] oushouseki:

Nice Rom and running very good. However this is pretty strange. I'm at work and I normally just have my USB power cable plugged into the electrical outlet. Every other Rom I load works fine this way, but this Rom will not charge the battery in this configuration. I have to have my cable plugged into the USB port on my PC to make it charge. Any thoughts?

My wifi keeps dying after screen off. Requires turning it off and back on.

Not sure if its a kernel thing perhaps. I'm on 0.58 bricked.

If I just installed the rom again can I have it withe the default kernel? I can't remember if its a choice. And will it work as an overwrite or I need to wipe?
