Still one of the best ROMs out there. If not the best IMO. However I found myself experimenting with other ROMs lately on my other device. I really like the HALO feature.... Any chance of you adding this to a future release? Also just curious when V5.3 is releasing. Anytime soon??? ( Not that I'm rushing you.)

What version of lean kernel are you using? I have found that with the latest franco kernel if I leave the screen on when I plug into the charger, it charges extremely slow.First I am going to flash an older franco kernel then the lean kernel if I don't have any success with the older franco kernel.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Essentrix:
Was using 1.7 which was fine but decided to give Franco another go; just seems to be more responsive. So far latest Franco been running smoothly and no battery drain. Let's see...

Stuck at boot animation

I've been using Smooth since v4.2 and this is the first major problem that I've had with it. Last night I was using my N7 and my battery died. So I plugged it in around 8pm. Checked on it at 11:30pm and saw that it just stuck on the boot animation for 5+ minutes. I was able to get into recovery and I tried starting it up again. Same deal. When I sent to recovery, I saw that even though it was on the charger for 3.5 hours, it only got a 7% charge. I then decided to wipe it out and try reloading 5.2 again. I did that and same deal, stuck on the boot animation. I'm just M-Kernel and tried using Franco and same thing, stuck on boot animation.

Has anyone seen this or experienced this? Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyone know how to change the size difference of the Nav bar and notifications?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mononon:
In my experience, 5.2 seems to just become less and less stable over time. I'm not sure why, but my clean installs just seem to break down almost. I had a similar experience with some Roms on my GS2.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gsw5700:
5.2 totally rock solid on mkernel a56 for me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zhonnetiks:
I think with this update SmoothROM should come back to the Stock launcher, I've seen some tests and works perfectly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
I agree. The new stock launcher is actually very slick. If SmoothROM could take that and make it smoother, faster, add in some other tweaks and stuff it would be perfect.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jaevlar:
For the next update i would really like the option to choose the default browser when flashing.

If that's a possibility that is.:)

New bricked kernel v.05 10-08-2012, amazing performance!

I just installed this updated kernel (v.05) and works awesome with this SmoothROM v3.1 ,

It seems they corrected the wake problem that some times we experience with bricked kernel v.04 plus they improved the performance and responsiveness,

Now I got 5835 mark with quadrant benchmark, way up from previous kernels, this updated kernel is even better than franco

[Nexus 7 Android Development] _Johnito_:
Hey james,

I'd also like to see the possiblity to choose between browsers and launchers. Nova is very OK, but i'd like very much to use the stock launcher. I'm also a big fan of Chrome.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hi :)

Google Chrome Browser really suck :( It is so much laggy unsure if I will take your request in consideration, unless I find a way to improve it a bit :)

Stock Launcher : I will test if the new updated one supports better the Tablet UI :) The old one I could fix everything up except the apps label name :/

AOSP 4.1.2 : I'm working on it ! Should be up soon :) Expect the update this week ! Hopefully on Friday/Saturday :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcozman:
If you're a fan of Chrome why not install it from the Play store? I use the Chrome bookmark widget which opens with Boat browser which I love ;). Chrome has too many frame issues for me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha true it is available on Google Play Store :)

Are you going to update bricked kernel in the new version?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Of course :P I always check for every kernels update ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MattG987:
Just stumbled across this thread when 4.1.2 drove me back to the intarwebs to find a new ROM to flash on my Nexus 7 (been using the same one since July). This looks great! Once you have 4.1.2 up, I'll be flashing it immediately.

Based on what I've read in this topic, I do have one question: will the stock launcher be included in this ROM once you have updated it to 4.1.2, since it now supports landscape rotation?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asian81:
I don't know of this was covered or not and sorry for repeating my question is this was asked.

Is there now or in future release to show the current weather on the locked screen?????
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Which one do recommend? Franco r21 or bricked 0.5?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] smt8544:
Franco is a more stable kernel, while Bricked offers around the same benchmark performance, but a crazy smooth interface.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Sorry, the weather on the lock screen isn't something I'm looking to add :/ I don't say I won't, it just depends on how much modding it would require

Same benchmarks but bricked is much smoother ;) the v0.4 as a wake issue so I suggest you to update it :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frangall:
You should try bricked v.0.5, it's the best kernel for Nexus 7 as today!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
Could you add the Samsung task manager to this ROM? or point me in the right direction to flash the apk. I don't wanna flash Sammy TW just for the task manager. Thanks

Happened to me the P.A.C ROM. I charged mine overnight and only got 4 percent. After about 2 1/2 days it got to 80 percent. I think I must have seriously drained the battery but it seems back to normal. I had tried everything from different cables to another charger. I even took off the back cover and reseated the battery connector. I wiped mine during the process as well but that didn't help. I almost ordered a new battery but I am glad I waited.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jellymelly:
jamesst20 pleeaasee add support for TILAPIA!

This is the perfect ROM for me in its features and the smoothness I crave. But mobile data is crucial...

All other ROMS have tilapia support but they are terrible, no where near as good as this.

All there is is a cellular driver and you're done with supporting tilapia...

jamesst20 please add 3G Nexus 7 for the good of all of us...

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bartcore3:
Hi,

I've been using this rom since december after trying several others. This one suits me the best! Recently i started having problems.

info: Nexus 7 16GB wifi (with +3GB left), smoothrom v5.2, Franco kernel #65

So, now i have some apps installed, 81 visible in the app drawer. Everything runs as smooth as can be but if i install 1-5 more apps my nex7 becmes slow and laggy to the point of it being unusable!

So if i want to install more apps i have to sacrifice others.

I've had this problem in 5.1 as in 5.2

Is anyone else having simular issues? I did a quick search of this thread but found nothing.

Nope, happens all the time for me and it's becoming annoying.. I can't even listen music cause of this noise.. No chance with modifying fsync, cpu speed, governor... This is totally random. Funny thing that on my barely living galaxy nexus overloaded while uninstalling app audio never stutters. I can't use the phone for secs (poor guy) but audio continue streaming flawlessly
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nlabrad:
It sounds like you are paying for a service and not getting what you were offered. As far as I can remember this is free and the dev gets nothing in exchange, so if I were you I would be less demanding, or if you want it so bad you can build your own fork of the ROM, all the information is available, you just need to put your butt down and read.

On topic: I'm amazed by the actual smoothness of this ROM. I thought it was a placebo or something, that it couldn't be that different, but actually it is.

I wonder what does the difference between this and cm10. I mean, I had big lags with cm10, changing between apps was awful, now that's gone. I thought that it was mostly kernel related but this proved me wrong. It's my first day with the ROM, so I'll report back in a few days, but I think this may be the ROM I'll be staying with.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
As far as I know, it is working with Tilapia :)

UnSubscribing for the time being, will get back later to check out

Thanks for the good work though, seems a very good one :)

My N7 mer an untimely death. So I bought a new one and loaded 5.2.

Two things:

5.2 does not create the folder and links for usb otg to work. Adding them manually solves the issue.

5.2 with the franco kernel charges slower than 5.1 with stock kernel. About 30%. I baselined it against my wife's. She is running 5.1 with stock kernel.

Other than that great rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Justblazeitup:
Thanks. Also, I'm not used to using internal storage only devices. Where exactly do I store the rom before system wipe. Not sure if I would lose it

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Essentrix:
Don't you hate it when that happens... haven't read any previous comments on your problem so if I'm repeating just ignore. Couple of thoughts:

1. Have you detached USB cable, closed and rebooted both your PC and Nexus, reconnected cable?

2. Have you enabled USB debugging under developers options?

3. If these have failed you could install Nexus 7 root toolkit and follow the instructions related to connection. Its a really comprehensive and realtively easy program to follow for Nexus 7. Has got me out of "sticky spots" in the past. Note sometimes its as simple as a Windows 7/8 driver issue which this program will sort.

Hope that helps.

It is not an ETA, but could you at least tell us if you are planning to update smoothROM to 4.3 ?

If no, the ones that want an update will have to mourn smoothrom which may take some time ...

If yes, I guess we will have to wait for AOKP to update to 4.3 first ?

Huge thanks for your work.

Yeah, I'm able to get about 100 better on my quadrant scores with 4.3 (stock) , but stock is going to definitely need a custom kernel to really let the lead out. Can't wait for kernel development and custom roms to hit the scene, its going to kick. As far as 4.2 vs 4.3 goes though it really seems that 4.3 does a bit better than 4.2.2's stock performance.

Having issues with smoothrom 5.2 running slowly. Is it due to the Kernel (I'm using 3.1.10-motley-v3+) and if so is there a better one to use and can I change the kernel without having to rerun the rom flashing program and wipe my device?

Urgent Help Required

Hi Everyone

I have a little problem. I flashed SmoothROM 5.2 tonight using TWRP Recovery. Everything looked to go well. I got the SUCCESS message and all. However, when I reboot the system, the N7 just hangs at the Boot Animation. When installing SmoothROM, I wiped the cache, dalvik and system. I also had CM10.1.2 on the storage so I flashed that too. Same problem. I have tried re-booting using TWRP, powering off and on but nothing works.

Now here is the bigger problem. Typical of a noob, I was so excited to be flashing a new ROM that I forgot to do a NANDROID backup. So I don't even have anything to revert to. :crying:

Can someone please help me out here ? I am desperate. Or have I just ruined my beautiful N7 ?

Thank you for any help provided.

PS: I am willing to revert back to stock recovery and install the 4.3 factory image which, from the sounds of it, is a step in the wrong direction.

-----------------

UPDATE: All is good. Looks like I was missing a step and that being Factory Reset. As soon as I performed Cache Wipe, Dalvik Wipe, Factory Reset and System Wipe (in that order), it started working. That is a massive relief.

With every device, I have this "go for" rom; when I'm bored of testing new roms or just need something stable and fast to get the job done. This is the one for N7. It's unbelievably fast, functional and stable(0 crashes in 2 months I believe). This rom is even faster than CM official(which I do not use since I want to have tablet ui).

Thank you so much dev! I'd like to buy you couple of beers(or coffees, if you may ;)) but right now it isn't possible. Maybe later!
