Instead of re-flashing gapps, why not just install Gmail from the market (sorry - 'Play')? That way the rom update/install can't touch it as it is not in the /system partition anymore. Also, it seems evident that the updater script isn't recognising the gmail.apk that you're flashing, and hence is deleting it (the same thing happens for the custom genieWidget I use), are you sure you're using the approved gaaps package from here: http://goo.im/gapps ?

All I'm saying is that there may not be a need to do a full data wipe, especially if you have no other issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] danny8:
I don't have a good answer for that; I think there is a reason though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
I would stay away from 9/21 until someone can confirm what that means. The last update that changed in size like that did not boot for anyone. Just saying...

9/19 is working great for me but I use a custom keyboard setup and Apex launcher so not sure about the stock keyboard.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adstraylight:
I should have also added that I've had no issues with recent updates including today's (09/22), so I'm guessing the previous assumption regarding the removal of Focal is correct, but I skipped 09/21 due to flash fatigue ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cptsashimi:
I would second everything skornpn has said. I believe the core gapps caused me problems similar to what you've described. Plus, I believe I also had problems from a bad transition from 10.1 to 10.2. I went back and started fresh with complete wipes and took the time to update bootloader and twrp to the latest versions and then flashed 10.2 with the http://goo.im/gapps and everything has worked perfectly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
Can you compare file sizes from say 9/19-9/20 to todays nightly please? Let us know what the new file size it please. Glad it is still working. Probably has a changelog somewhere that states what was removed i.e focal as you say.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thracemerin:
Focal being removed is the reason the file size dropped.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adstraylight:
Sadly not as I delete the downloads as soon as I flash them, I just use the built in updater. I wouldn't worry too much though as I think CM know what went wrong before.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dalkor:
Somebody please confirm, whether Bluetooth tethering works on 9/22 nightlie. I found that it's broken on my device. I've paired my n7 with n4 and when I accessed paired device options, "internet access" was already checked and completely ignored my efforts to do something with it's state.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bftb0:
Thanks to all who responded. Flashed CM 10.2-grouper 20130922-Nightly + 0813gapps + TiBu user apps/data restore. All seems well. (But can hardly say I've done exhaustive testing...)

cheers

[MENTION=2755066]dalkor[/MENTION] - I'd do the testing, but my 4yo GB phone blows up (kernel panic) when I try BT tethering to it. (Not due to ROM on the N7 afaik)

Hrmmm - just tried it anyway, and it paired but did NOT crash my phone, and as you noted the "internet access" was toggled ON (and could not be toggled with a screen touch) but no connectivity, so... as far as I am able to test, I suspect you are correct.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adstraylight:
Rotation bug?

Ok, here's a weird one - if I lock auto-rotate, the toggle takes effect immediately, but if I unlock it the change will only take effect when I've switched app, ie moved on to another activity....anyone else having this occur? Running the latest nightly (09/23) btw, although I noticed it wasn't working on yesterday's also, just didn't get round to investigating.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
I can confirm that. I have noticed it about a week ago, but didn't care much.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tvisforme:
So, the revamped privacy settings are convenient, but... they did seem to reset all of the apps I'd already blocked. Anyone else notice that?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mondokat:
i noticed. Also, it seems that enabling it doesn't block everything by default, it seems to somewhat randomly enable certain things, maybe based on what it asked for from play? not sure, just that some things were on when i spot checked. Think i should double check everything now...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jgoedhard:
Been updating nightly using delta and under setting >display > sleep noticed I can only select 15 sec, 30 sec and 1 min of inactivity.

problems with flash

i'm having big problems with this rom.

coming from a previous version of cm10. these were my install steps

1. updated to latest cmw recovery via rom manager

2. rebooted into recovery, backed up current rom

3. factory reset/erase data

4. wipe cache partition

5. advanced>wipe dalvik cache

6. flashed the rom in the opening post

7. flashed gapps posted in op

8. flashed franco's kernel, linked to in op

9. wiped cache again

10. advanced>wipe dalvik cache again

the rom boots up, but with problems. the keyboard immediately starts fc'ing and won't stop. wifi will not activate, i get the message "wifi is starting..." but nothing happens. i can't reboot into recovery manually either. the google screen comes up then nothing happens.

tried to sideload the quick boot .apk so i could get to recovery that way, but when i try to tick "enable unknown sources" to install it, the settings app fc's.

so, i can't get online to download an app to boot me into recovery (so i can start over). even if i could, the keyboard crashes so i can't type anything. i can't get into recovery manually. i can't run fix permissions in terminal emulator either, because of the keyboard fc.

so what the heck happened? any ideas on what i could do besides full unbrick fastboot process? i only have a mac and don't have adb set up or anything....

any help would be great.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adstraylight:
You can get the ROM itself to reboot into recovery, go into developer options and check advanced reboot, then when you hold the power button you'll get a submenu when you select reboot.

To activate developer options, go into 'about tablet' and tap the build number seven times btw.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] BobbaLouie:
Try it again except ditch the franco kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adame09:
Hater lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hotrodwinston:
Try adding a system wipe in those steps before flashing - flash a updated gapps (PA gapps works great for me - link in PA thread) don't change the kernel till you boot up - sign in see if it works then backup and try any third party kernels.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
So you think wiping the cache and dalvik twenty times will do a miracle.

Since you are coming from 10.1 I would recommend full wipe of data and system partitions.

Also try the stock CM kernel, make a backup with Franco's app or trickster mod, so that you can switch back if there are any problems with Franco. There are also other kernels IMO better supported on N7 then Franco's one. Try from Metallice.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cwininger:
you guys are missing the point. i can't do any of that because i can't access recovery!

it's moot anyway. i just ran the mac toolkit, went back to stock and re-rooted. lost my nandroids and whatnot, but it's my kid's tablet, so he'll have to deal with it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
Sorry I missed that. Have you tried to flash the recovery with fastboot command? You could also try another recovery like TWRP next time.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cwininger:
i didn't have adb set up on my mac so i just used the one-click toolkit. everything's working now, latest cwm recovery and SU, so it's all good. thanks for the suggestions though.

probably should have wiped /system to start with. usually never have to do that, so i'm not sure what went wrong.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
You can not flash anything with adb. Find a fastboot executable for Mac and add it to your path variable. Maybe you will have to start it as administrator.

Then you can always go to browser Google recovery you want, download an img file and flash it like this: fastboot flash recovery fileyoudownloaded.img

That way you wouldn't loose any user data, like nandroids, pictures etc. Wiping data, system, cache and dalvik would probably 'fix' all issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] OGroteKoning:
My N7 is 32gb wi-fi only 2012. Seeing that I don't have 3g, where can I find a list of apps I can freeze safely? Sorry if this was asked before, but I am getting used to Tapatalk and don't know where the search function is for a thread only. I am on the latest CM10.2 nightly (installed 2hrs ago)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
I don't understand the connection between having a wifi only device, and wanting to remove/freeze software.

This is not a Samsung's Touchwiz, and basically it doesn't have a bloatware. But you are free to remove all applications you don't like.

When you flash CM you even don't get Gapps. You have to flash them separately. If you break something, by removing the apps, it is very easy to fix. Just reflash the same ROM again, and you'll be good.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] OGroteKoning:
I figured that if I am not using it (ever), then I might as well remove it. The app's I wanted to get rid of are the ones to do with sms and phone.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
As I said, try yourself, if you encounter problems just flash again your ROM, and Gapps maybe.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] OGroteKoning:
Will do, thanks

Does this support USB otg or do I have to use PPP widget? Will a 3g dongle work?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ProGameAndy:
For me OTG works fine without any app
[Nexus 7 Original Development] swapnilss:
Thanks. Just flashed it and setting it up with all the apps I use. USB stick works fine but no luck with 3g dongle. Can someone confirm if it works ? Tried ppp widget too but still does not connect :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] eak1080:
I have only ever been able to get OTG to work with things like external storage or usb controllers/keyboards/cameras. I know you should be able to usb tether but idk about attaching a mobile data dongle...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bert98:
Try this:

- connect you tablet to a PC

- wait for it to be recognized (the dun-dun sound)

- power off your tablet

- start it in bootloader mode

- select recovery mode

- boot in recovery

- unplug your USB

It worked for me when I had the same issue :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] swapnilss:
Well 3g usb dongle worked flawlessly on 4.2.2 ROMs with ppp widget but have had no luck on 4.3 . Read somewhere that some files are missing in 4.3 and need to be incorporated in kernel for it to work again. I know nothing of coding so can't help myself here. Don't want to go back to 4.2.2 either. :mad:

Android browser freezes and closes

Hi, I've never experience this before. Cm stock browser will freeze and close if complements are set to load as default and a page with this type of content is attempted to load.

I'm attaching logcat. This happens in 2013 10 02 nightly and CM stock kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adstraylight:
This has been happening to me for quite a while now, the only answer I've found is to use Firefox instead.

Your log suggests it's the same problem, as I could get pages to load if I disabled java script, but this is thoroughly unsatisfactory as a workaround.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] eak1080:
Can you replicate with the 10.1.3 stable build linked in the OP.

If so open a JIRA issue and I'm sure they will get right on it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fran_xda:
As far as I remember this didn't happen in 10.1 stable release. Do I need to wipe in order to get 10.1.3 flashed from 10.2?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Sengir:
Link in OP is incorrect,redirects to the grouper version of 10.2 CM

Anyone having backup issues with titanium backup? For the past few weeks, it has been telling me that there is insufficient storage space when I go to backup, despite me having plenty of room for backups.

I can temporarily fix it by switching the backup location between the emulated/0 and legacy locations, but the error eventually comes back and I have switch the folder again. This happens on my Gnex and nexus 7, so it isn't device-specific.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ja_som:
Same problem on my N7...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
Changing the backup location in titanium settings to the sdcard worked for me. Seems CM has been changing things around and titanium has no ability to change its settings without your input lol.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ja_som:
Which path do you use?

/storage/emulated/0/

or

/storage/emulated/legacy/

?

I used second one, now i changed to the first (with 0) and its working again...

Will see how long...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
I have had to move the location several times in the last month or so. Today I did a redo and it told me not enough storage space so I went into menu and changed the backup location to "storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup". A month ago or so, the same thing happened and I was forced to change to "sdcard/TitaniumBackup". I just did another redo-backup and it worked fine. Not sure why things keep changing on their own or whats going on but every time TB tells me not enough space it is due to the backup location being wrong, lol. So I change it and it then works again... weird stuff huh?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Weefeeri:
Hi all!

I installed the latest stable build and im expecting a bug after the installation. After the boot when i change the language, i have to type my wifi password. But the keyboard doesn't want to come up. Sometimes a message appears, the keyboard closed..

How can i solve this problem?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Yea I just keep switching it whenever this error pops up.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veroby:
Just a suggestion, try another kernel. Would be interested if this works. I use faux.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
It happened again and this time it would not work until I changed the location to sdcard/titaniumbackup. This problem is becoming annoying.

how to I make lock screen always autorotate or locked into landscape?

I can get it to rotate but when I turn off autorotate so that I can have it in landscape, the lockscreen reverts back to portrait mode
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Weefeeri:
I have already tried Franco's and motley's kernel but the bug still happens and i cant use the tablet
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veroby:
Is it just me or has CyanogenMod (android) let things slip down hill.

I'm finding my 2010 nexus 7 to be a nightmare. Always needing general maintenance and attention because the system inevidably becomes unresponsive, lagy and just a pile of junk. Writing this my spell checker works sporadically. Lol. Even using chrome to browse xda can be a mission from hell. Sometimes it persists in refreshing the page soon as you try to scroll down the page, making site navigation impossible.

I'm always deleting cache and dalvik cache, weekly I'll have to restore from back/up. And monthly a clean install. These have become temporary fixes. Although not running CyanogenMod on my HTC one x I am having similar problems. Apps do not escape a slagging off here. This morning I tried to get sync gmail to work so I could see the same data stored in files, drafts etc. Tried everything, just an impossible job.

Android did not use to be this bad, wtf has gone wrong. Feels like intentional sabotage of older modeled phone/tablet in order to get one to move onto the latest and greatest.

The true list of problems I'm experiencing with my devices is to long but maybe I should list them and send them to Google. Is anyone like me feeling this........?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
Not experiencing any of this.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] WoodmanMN:
All my cm10.2 devices run well. When I start having small irritating issues I back everything up to external storage, wipe all data, cache, dalvik and install fresh. Riding the nightly train is not without issue and there is possibility you have a hardware defect even though it is unlikely. Do more than just the default wipe that preserves data, I had to do that on my s3 yesterday to solve a random reboot and lagginess.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
I was out of town for a week and didn't have my N7. Got home and it was obviously totally drained. So I plugged it in and powered it on - it instantly goes into shutdown mode after it boots to Android.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr-Glass:
I did the same thing last week - I was using my Motorola charger, but I let it charge up for about 10min and turned it on and it stayed on.. It was totally drained..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
Oddly after 15 minutes it still says 0%... Wonder if the battery is screwed from being 100% drained?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr-Glass:
I really doubt it - honestly I like to run my devices all the way down every few months.... I just left my Moto charger on it because it seems to charge faster.. If the battery is screwed, it was because the battery was already bad - I know I have a ton of old stuff with original batteries (as found in my signature) and all have been completely drained more times than I can count and all still work totally acceptable.. ymmv
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
But how after 30 minutes on the charger am I still at 0%?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr-Glass:
Is it booted into CM or are you just looking at the black screen with it off? - If it is in CM I would do a reboot - If it is off I would power it up to double check - that sounds odd..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
Well I can't get to CM as it shuts off right as I power it up, I just see 0% and off it goes. When I see the charge screen it just shows a battery getting juice...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr-Glass:
So with it off does it show the battery charge animation in the battery on screen? This is not meant to be insulting, but have you tried another cable/charger..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
It finally booted with 3% charge... Just must have been really drained.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr-Glass:
Good deal - guessing this might be the first time you have completely drained it - should be good to go after charging up..

For the past few nightlies I have been having pretty bad battery drain even in deep sleep due to a specific wakelock. Has anyone else had a large amount of wakelocks from com.google.android.gms.nlp.alarm_wakeup_locator? I have nearly 2000 since my last full charge.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] counterfeit187:
I'm not having this problem, but I suggest downloading and flashing the latest GAPPs for cm10.2. That may fix the problem.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:
I'm on the latest GApps...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
2000 how much time is that? Some people, including me, was having problem with GSM going crazy after hot reboots. I cannot remember which wakelock was draining the battery, but I see that your one is coming from GSM class. Regarding past continues, I'm actually not sure if the issue is still present, and I don't care much, since hot reboots are not really a necessity.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

I also had some issues with CM account, holding some wakelocks, and losing my password, and since it's removal I think the battery time improved, though I am not 100% sure if that is placebo.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Hobbes2099:
Sorry I've skimmed over the entire thread, I recently got a Chromecast and I had seen the video on how CM had integrated the SDK into the ROM, is this included in the latest stable (10.1+), only available in the nightlies (10.2+), planned for a future stable, or only an experiment and not considered at all?

Thanks,
[Nexus 7 Original Development] btaylor545:
So I posted this question in the general but got no response. I'm thinking about switching to the 10.2 newest nightly and I'm on 10.1.3 stable. Is there any real advantage from switching to the nightly? And also how is the stability compared to 10.1.3? I made the switch when the first couple nightlies for 10.2 came out but it was way too buggy so has it improved enough to be a daily driver compared to 10.1.3? All info/answers provided are much appreciated just don't want to make the jump and regret it and have to go through the hassle of going back

Thanks!

Don't make the jump and regret it. Make a backup and then make the jump and have an option if you regret it. Jump!

just experienced it when reverting back from 23rd. the problem happens if you try to flash additional zips with it. in my case I tried flashing m kernel with it.

had to reflash 22nd first and the the kernel. and works fine like before.

my issue with 23rd is that the dock icons get chopped off in landscape mode since I have 160 LCD density.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cmlohff:
I use M kernel as well and even when I flash just the ROM I get the error.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shayne77:
I agree.

I think its MKernel.

Flashed 24th, my font, my boot anim, NOT MKernel and booted fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cmlohff:
Okay, I have tried wiping system and installing JUST the nightly from the 24th (today) and it just gets stuck at "Starting apps". I did not flash anything other than the ROM itself. What's going wrong here?

10/24 works fine for me, I flashed over 10/23...
