As I stated earlier, I'm really digging this ROM. Question... Is this ROM designed specifically for nexus 7 2012?

Any idea how long a project like this will be supported/updated?

Nexus 7 Grouper

SlimROM

M-Kernel
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
whenever aokp kitkat reaches almost stable and has enough features then the OP says he will update. I sooooooo wish he was on github cause then I could do a build of his 4.3 with aokp's final release with tabletui.......but his stuff is worth the wait.

Install Problem

I have an error when trying to install this rom, I have fully wiped everything except storage...

The error is -Checking Device ID...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper"ll

getprop(ro.product.device") == "tilapia" ll

getprop(ro.build.product") == "tilapia!

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] eddyedwards007:
Grouper is WiFi only tilapia is WiFi and 3g, not sure but if this ROM is for WiFi only and your is the 3g model then it won't work for that reason. Other than that I don't know what to suggest.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GadgetFreak:
What recovery and version do you have installed? I had to downgrade to TWRP 2.6.3 to get this ROM to install.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slyevo:
downgraded recovery, installed perfectly....

Thx
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hawk600:
Same error here, this rom won't install even if I am running TWRP 2.6.3.1.

OTG cause reboot when unpluged

Hey ppl,

I use the latest smoothROM v5.3 on my grouper, and I use faux's kernel v

When I plugin a OTG cable and any usb-Stick, the rom refuses to read the stick.

when I unplug the otg cable, the rom freezes, and then reboot ( r I manually press the power botton log to force it to restart ).

Only then, as the device boot and I see the "google" logo, I plug again the stick using the otg cable.

ONLY after that, the ROM allows me to R/W the stick...:eek:

Any idea why this happens or how to fix so that I could plug and unplug WITHOUT ? :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
use different kernel....or the last JB release of faux...... ive had same issues with faux kernel.

Hi! I'm running SmootROM 5.3 + LeanKernel and am finding a slow down after just a week of usage. If I kill all the applications I have ~72MB free with 890MB used. I found that System.UI if the biggest running process. Is this normal? I only have 3 standard widgets: transparen weather + twitter + metam. Can I do something apart from rebooting the system? The slow down (2+ seconds) mainly comes when I want to switch to another appliclation or when want to go to the home screen.

TIA

PS: any suggested application to check the RAM usage?

Beats + Xlouder

The volume on my Nexus7 is quiet low. when using headphones on an airplane I can barely hear stuff even though the volume is cranked up to 100%. Just wanted to know if anyone who has Smoothrom v5.3 installed any audio mod. I am specifically looking at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889522 Beats + Xlouder. If anyone has installed this or any other mod, please let me know how well this has been working for you.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Beats+Xlouder didn't do much for me so I went with Viper4Android. Still not the greatest when using the external speaker but the headphones are finally loud enough for my liking.

You install this like any other APK file, not flashing in recovery. Install app, open, install driver, reboot device, tweak to liking, profit!

Hey all, has there been any workarounds found for setting a wallpaper for second user on this ROM? (aside from live wallpaper)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] editheraven:
I have installed this rom with Mkernel. I installed no frills to set the cpu freq to default (1.2 ghz). Is there anythong elese OC-ed? Because right now I dont want to OC my tablet. Thanx.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] editheraven:
I have anotherproblem now. If I set in no frills cpu max 1200 I find my cpu at 1500 sometimes. If i disable no frills my max freq goes up do 1700. If I manually set from terminal the max_freq to 1200, there is still no change. Is there something else in this rom that controls the cpu? Because I don't want any OC.

le : well, I installed the stock rom provided in aroma. Freq table it's not overwritten anymore.

Keep getting error message trying to install this rom

It fails on trying to check the device ID with the lines assert failed: ending with the script line == tilapia.

I’ve googled it and some have said if that is removed in the script. I tried deleting those lines and it never went any further when it trys to ins all. I've also tried to install with CWM and that fails on the same line. I've tried 3 times to get this rom installed...and i've installed roms before. If anyone knows how to get this installed properly i'd love to hear about it, if not I guess i'll have to pass on this rom. I also rooted my device because i was lazy with WUG toolkit 1.8. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem. thanks for any input.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Try using TWRP. I used 2.6.3.0 and had no issues at all.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] enohand:
ok sorry i apologize,

the malware is not in Jromflahsers app/zip, it is in the file hosting companies exe that is downloaded & branded as Jromflasher.exe when you DO NOT UNCHEK the "use our download manager" check box.

the OP does state under the link to uncheck that check box, which i did not do in my initial haste.

user beware@@@ & follow ALL Dev's directions
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abacus0101:
not working with TWRP 2.6.3.0

Thats what I'm using..and its not installing getting stuck on checking that item. I guess its not in the cards for me, maybe

the rooting thru the WUG Toolkit messed up something...for the install. Im puzzled by this.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
That's crazy. That is what has fixed this issue in the past. And I used WUG Toolkit way back when so I'm not sure if that's the cause or not. Sorry you're having so many problems.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abacus0101:
really dumb question

Does this rom work on Nexus 7 2013 tablets?...maybe it doesn't run properly because its meant for the nexus 7 ver. 1 ????
[Nexus 7 Android Development] editheraven:
I have a question with hiding navbar on this rom : i set the style to tablet [combined nav buttons with statusbar on the buttom]. When I set navbar to hidden when the navbar rises it's ok. But when it's reaching full size it becomes black. When it closes it's shown again. In apps when the navbar is rised to full it's shown but not in app drawer or desktop. I use nova launcher. In 2 of 4 orientations the navbar is shown but in the other 2 it's not.

le : it does the same on stock launcher.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
And there's your problem. This is a 2012 Nexus 7 ROM. Grouper and Tilapia are the code names for the Wifi and 3G versions of that device. It will not work on the 2013 N7.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abacus0101:
thanks Pdj7969 for all your help...so grouper is for the first generation of nexus 7 tablet..wifi..whats the code name for the nexus 7 2013 wifi.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Did you keep reading after he complained about this because it turned out he is on the 2013 Nexus 7 and this ROM is for the 2012 version, hence the names Grouper and Tilapia.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jake460:
Yes, I have a 2012 n7 WiFi, perhaps its my recovery, need to downgrade from kk recovery to jb recovery maybe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Which recovery are you using? I found I had the least troubles using TWRP 2.6.3.0. CWM is dicey for some reason so I stopped using it over a year ago.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jake460:
Using twrp 2.6.3.1, will try 2.6.3.0.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Lap823:
Yes I do know that.... Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MarcAntonyy:
I have been dormant on my N7 for a while, but am looking to get back into the swing of things, so take this with a grain of salt, but it could put you on the right track if you have the Franco kernel app.

I'm not around my device right now, but I found the easiest and quickest way to flash different Franco kernels was using his app's backup/restore feature. You just take whatever kernel version you want to flash and move into the app's backup folder, open up the app and select the kernel from the restore function and let it install, reboot, etc.

I remember that saving me a lot of time months ago when there were a multitude of versions that everyone was recommending for a variety of reasons.

Anyone else suffering from Google Account authentication issues, resulting in "Google servers are not available right now" in the Play Store and other apps? could it be related to Adblocking?

Had any one tried to CONVERT the rom to F2FS ? ;)

I wonder how the benchmark will be before and after ( using SmoothRom on ext4 VS F2FS )
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gps3dx:
I think we need [MENTION=4469201]jamesst20[/MENTION] help here...

Can you please make an "All-F2FS" version of smoothRom ( convert even v5.3 of your rom ? )

Big thanks in advance. :o:D :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MarcAntonyy:
This is what I've been battling with the past month or so - wanting to reap the benefits of F2FS, but completely unable to give up tablet UI.

Having a SmoothROM with F2FS would be winsauce supreme. I'd be willing to pitch in another donation if it would help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dareino:
I tried converting it the way I have done w/LiquidSmooth and C-Rom but I get errors on boot up. It installs fine running thru the aroma installer but after reboot I get multirom errors...over my head

so what happen to the dev, he just gave up?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] vossman:
Development now stopped.

This is a shame I really thought this rom worked so well - looking at others now but I doubt I will find one that is as smooth or as stable as this one.

Any others in the same position?

Thanks to the dev anyway.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] everesee:
This ROM already dead months ago. Why people keep this thread active, i cant understand.

No news from developer for months, this is really a shame. And this is not smoothest ROM, f2fs kitkat roms are much more smoother...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BigJoey010:
nah that's bull****, all the other kitkat roms aren't as smooth as this one...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vossman:
I must agree, I have tried several others and found them to be a little sticky in places but always return to this one, my Nexus7 is still very smooth and fast despite heavy daily usage, I am reluctant to change just for the sake of it, very few bugs over the 6 or so months I have had this installed, and never has it ever crashed or frozen on me.

Revert to Stock

Hi Everyone

Since this project is now dead, I would like to move back to stock, especially since the KitKat version is now available. I would be most grateful if the experts on this thread will help a noob like me to revert to Stock. Why stock? Because I am giving my N7 (2012 - Nakasi) to my daughter and would like to take it back to stock.

Please forgive me for asking this quesstion, especially if it is considered silly by everyone. But any help would be most gratefully accepted.

Looking forward to hearing from helpers soon.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dareino:
Why would you ask in a dead thread, no idea. You best bet is in the q&a thread.

And searching for an answer would do wonders...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] OzBoy08:
Thank you for the advice. I did do a search but came up with nothing. Hence asking but didn't think about the fact that a dead thread might not be looked at by anyone. So thank you for pointing me in the right direction.:good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vossman:
Hi, why not just use the toolkit that you flashed this rom with? Most toolkits have an option to revert back to stock, I am guessing you probably even have the stock image on your computer anyway from when you did flash this rom.

Plenty of options on here to do that anyway.:good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] khaytsus:
Personally, I just went to AOKP nightlies. Going back to stock isn't even an option for me, I love AOKP too much.

The KK nightlies seem to come about every two weeks, but I haven't had any problems on the last three builds, latest being 6/14/2014.

On CM flashing the gapps required me to do it after 1st booting into Rom. Then restarting into recovery and flashing gapps by itself.

Lately I have been having charging problems. I wiped and reinstalled the ROM which seemed to improve things for a day or two but now the problem is back. Anyone have any ideas? The charger and cable have been checked and are not the problem and charging is being displayed although it never gets above about 28%.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mugsy77:
My recent charging issues (and draining issues) were just because of a bad battery. If you know for sure your charger is good, and you are at a recommended bootloader version, you may want to look into a new battery. I don't play with kernels, so if you are not stock, you may consider that, too. Also, you can try charging after you shutdown OS and see if it charges to 100%.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] idiarik1234:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hmm sounds more about a defect device :/ Try flashing Stock ROM + Stock Kernel and if the issue is still there then it comes from your device.

Then you have chosen the right ROM :) Thanks you :D Stay tuned, I'm releasing Version 2.2 soon :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
I would agree except I've had it almost two months and this was never really an issue. I had the occasional glitch that I attributed to minor lag in a couple games but nothing like this. I'm going to flash a few different kernel and ROM combinations (including going back to stock) to see if I can pinpoint the cause. I went with the motley kernel on this install, so I will start by trying the others on this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RickyG3188:
I'm also stuck on the Google screen. I wiped everything like I've always done when installing a new ROM. It's somehow deleted my recovery because I can no longer access it. Guess I have to push it manually, has this happened to anyone else?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Alright :p keep me tuned.

How did you wipe your data? Yeah flash it back but it has nothing to do with me if it is erased, it is something you've done wrond on your side :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RickyG3188:
I formatted Data, system, cache, and wiped Dalvik. Yeah I understand it's one of those weird things that happens. Happened on my Amaze 4G once. I was on Paul's ROM but I'm eager to try this one out :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hmm another fix you could try is to go into fastboot and from your computer type :

fastboot format system

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

fastboot flash recovery CustomRecovery.img

then go into recovery and push back my ROM :

adb push SmoothROM.zip /sdcard/
