testing the latest nightly on trinity - as second rom on multiboot: wow!!! variety of customization and battery mileage are just awesome! smoothness is at par with stock 4.3 though i really can't tell any difference - perhaps 'coz i usually run mine underclocked (115 max cpu), regardless of rom. might make this my primary rom now. cheers for a great work, PD! do hope you consider that kexec-hardboot patch for future builds

btw, if you're using a kernel other than the one that came with vanir, don't enable crt off. in my experience at least, this screws the system once you try to lock the screen (i.e., instead of the screen turning off, it just sits on the lockscreen whilst changing colors & there's no way of getting out of it except for a hard reboot - weird). if you miss crt off much, you might wana try one of those modules in xposed which offers it.

Is there anyway to hide the WiFi icon on the status bar? I'd just like to have the battery and clock up there.

Got CM 10.2 9/15 Nightly now. It still has noticeable lags. Is this one better than the CM? What about Jellyz?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] theoctavist:
That is addressed by turning off vanir tweaks or deleting the vanir.cfg file.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

On my two devices..grouper and flo vanir/prime is by far the fastest most reliable, and most professional. The rest seem like mickey mouse in comparison. Silly add ins, childish wallpapers, bloated, placebo tweaks. I've used damn near 10 other Roms and they all fall miserably short to vanir... Vanir/atom is very professional ..you can tell it is made for grown ups, and not people who just want a device to look *****in and do party tricks. Think more secret service...does an excellent job with no flash or fanfare, with all the tools one needs.. Rather than lizard lick towing or duck commander...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
Is it just me getting screen banding?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wathefak:
What kernel are you on?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
I think it was Trinity, not sure.

I tried Vanir on my Manta and I don't get the banding.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wathefak:
Should be ok with stock kernel.. Or oxydo
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
I probably flashed Trinity when I installed it so I will try stock, or oxydo.

edit

You were right. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] P00r:
The only few I found have many inverted and a few non working download, I already see a few post requesting a link and nothing but search it as an answer... xda isn't what it is used to be

If you recommend a package the last you can do is link to it.

Thanks for a great rom that I can't install until I have time to do a few trial and error test simply for the lack of clear instruction... or definition of what is needed...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stonebear:
I use these http://nexus4.longren.org/banks/4.3-testing/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] csamolot:
I use the ones from goo manager.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] waz675:
They're only gapps. You need to decide if you like standard, inverted, tweaked ones or whatever. People can't read your mind. If you need 'baby spoon feeding' for such things, either try some research or stick with stock??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p0k3y:
Nice ROM. Much smoother than cm 10.2. Now my n7 is flying again
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kesongpinoy:
go to goo.im and download the 4.3 gapps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] P00r:
The only reason I am replying to this is that I see thank-you to your post...

When you are in the middle of nowhere with basic network access and try to get your tablet back up and running it is nice to be able to locate everything needed in a few post from the OP post.

You know **** happen and this is when you appreciate well organized thread, and I am not directing this to prime (OP) who actually make the hard work but to the MANY post after the first few one where people requesting guidance are answered search in other thread, learn how to search etc...

Some people are only trying to get a device back up and running and having to go thru different place to find what is needed to install a rom can be frustrating,

that was my case as I was in an emergency in an hospital

for a friend with my HOX close to no power and trying to download this rom (my backup was corrupted...) on my fully charged tablet... waiting time here can be as low as 18Hr...

About the baby spoon and mind reading comment, your are the perfect example of unhelpful reply... and stonebear post with a single link the perfect example of what XDA can be... BTW your xoom rom can be updated to 4.3, search for it...

As for this ROM, it is solid, I hope dev will continue, 4.3 make my N7 fly but my first 4.3 rom dev was ended almost after the first build...

P00r.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] waz675:
And many people who use this thread (and other threads) who write posts helping people get sick of people who make posts with apparent no time spent doing any prior research. This is supposed to be a development help thread, not a 'general help' thread.

TLDR http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+4.3+gapps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maxq1:
that's good to know. thanks for pointing that out. now that i've made this my daily driver though, i guess i'm sticking w/ stock kernel for now. at 1100, i still don't feel left out anyway - gaming or otherwise! gonna miss multiboot option though...

EDIT: i suppose i could just dirty flash one nightly on another?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nimbold:
After a month without changing ROM, finally went for Vanir+Oxydo and it's awesome! Battery life is great and ROM is smooth.

Only issue I have is with Halo. When I close Halo (double touch and move to upper screen) system FC's. Course it's not annoying, just saying.

Thanks again :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jt.one:
constant system FC not annoying ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nimbold:
actually i don't use Halo much, only when i'm using Hangout and FB chat. so it's not annoying for me. other than closing Halo and FC happening, i don't have any FC.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akashpatel:
Why are the tiles on recent apps so huge??? They are annoying me.....here look at the screenshot..but other than that i found this ROM the smoothest one for nexus 7...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nimbold:
everything is a little big, like status bar, tiles and else. so that i changed Screen density to 190 and it's all good now. (default is 213)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akashpatel:
To me everything is fine except the recent app tile....can anyone do something for that please???
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ciphersbak:
M8 the recents app tile are by design bigger as compared to stock. Its a design choice and honestly its far better than stock.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akashpatel:
Yes I know that the tiles are designed bigger in here but I am asking if there is a way to make these recent app tiles back to the way the stock is because I did not like this big tiles....

AnTuTu Benchmarks with the Vanir 9/23 Nightly & OxyDo #11

Man, I love this ROM/Kernel combo. Such a smooth experience, makes me not feel as jealous as those with the 2013 Nexus 7 ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kareemgonna:
Using the same configuration and I have to admit that it really is mind blowing. Oxydo imo is the best kernel out there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
Yeah, the performance is so smooth. Battery life is awesome too. This ROM and OxyDo are like a combo made in heaven :D

I got a small crack in my Nexus' screen, so I'm trying to decide between paying around $100 for a new LCD/Digitizer, or just trying to sell it and buy a 2013 Nexus. Benchmarks like the ones I posted have me leaning towards the former, and saving for a nice, 10" tablet instead.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rhg135:
I'd like to request a lockscreen wallpaper setting, for those who have wallpapers that shouldn't be seen or for stylistic reasons. It's in the OP, but how?

I can't see the the 2013 model being as supported as this one, be prepared to do it yourself if you go there.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] theoctavist:
Not on my n7. Mkernel is better all around. Oxydo is 2nd though...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kareemgonna:
I have to disagree Mkernel is great but in comparison Oxydo runs much better on my device with no lag at all, especially the latest version. V11-446.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
I've tried M-Kernel but at 1700mhz my tablet keeps crashing. I don't know if it requires a bit more tuning or undervolting to get it to run properly, but I never took the time to really try anything since OxyDo runs so smooth.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tzlot:
1700 and undervolting? 1700 is too high to be reliable on most devices, and certainly not something you van undervolt. No wonder you're having issues...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
Why even include it in the kernel if you're not meant to use it? I actually used 1700mhz on Trinity in 4.2.2 without UV and it ran fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
It will work if you OverVolt enough, M-kernel probably wasn't OverVolted enough for your device to handle it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
Yeah most likely. Maybe I'll give it a shot whenever I do a new clean wipe. Until then I'm happy with OxyDo and Vanir.

@Prime Directive

Was d/l the 09/25 nightly for grouper and noticed a 09/24 nighlty for ovation (Nook HD+)....Awesome!

I've had the Nook HD+ for a few months now and was just thinking about requesting Vanir on it and it magically appeared. :D Hope you don't mind that I posted in the Nook HD forum with a link to the nightlies? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45900473&postcount=1

Hopefully, whoever is maintaining Vanir for the HD+ will post it in the dev forum. Thanks Team Vanir.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] fantabrothe:
hi mate, do you use oxydo v11-446 or only v11? in the op's thread i can find two versions...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] waz675:
V11 (standard) wouldn't boot for me on this as well as 2 or 3 other people I recall saying at the time it came out. Grab the 446 version. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] heatledger:
Should I disable vanir tweaks after changing kernel (in my case oxydo v11-446) or are they indipendent from kernel?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 7 con Tapatalk 4
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zinko_pt:
Excuse me,

but can you please tell me the UV settings you got for OxyDo+Vanir? If it works for you, it might work for me too. :D

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fantabrothe:
using oxydo v11-466 everything works perfectly on latest vanir nightly, i'm leaving vanir tweaks enabled without "interferences" with kernel, smoothnes and performances are great, even if you can't oc the gpu (it runs at 466 max, even if set to 516mhz with trickstermod).

I don't trust benchmarks but antutu score is 16704 ( 1500mhz cpu).

Oxydo v11 (the other version not capped at 466) makes my n7 crash at lockscreen....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
No need to undervolt imo
[Nexus 7 Android Development] crea78:
I noticed while using this ROM, my WiFi will automatically turn itself off after awhile. Never had this problem before with other ROMs. Is there a setting to keep WiFi in all the time? Great ROM BTW and love the customizations.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
I'm using v11-446. Like others stated, v11 would boot for me but would lock up instantly, before I could even unlock most times.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

No need to UV OxyDo. Running it with stock voltages and have not had a FC or random reboot yet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kareemgonna:
Same here, tested it using heavy games like MC4, Asphalt 8 and NFS MW no lags at all. I changed the lowest cpu freq to 102mhz because it saves more battery and no noticeable difference in performance and I turned the swipetowake off using trickster because I find it to be very annoying.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DroidRunner:
Is there an Ad Block in this ROM? Hulu plus tweaked out when an ad popped up.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p0k3y:
Running the 9/19 build and it's very smooth. But the highest I can get on Quadrant is 3700. How do you guys get 6-7000?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] waz675:
Moral, benchmark scores are crap.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] paul20:
What kernel do you use?try oxydo
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kareemgonna:
By using a custom Kernel like Oxydo or M kernel which over clocks the cpu and gpu.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zinko_pt:
Thanks all.

I though UV because battery runs down a bit faster than (also performs a bit faster, of course) with Vanir kernel. But if you say the voltage is already at it´s minimum, then OK.

Thanks a lot. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fantabrothe:
for sure, mate! I'm using multirom settings, one rom is 4.3 stock, with oxido v11-446; the second rom is vanir 23/09 with the same kernel.

By benchmark comparison with antutu the difference is 16300 vs 16800 (vanir), so the difference is 3%, as to say equal...but the daily use feeling is VERY different, vanir is so far better in everything, it's an amazing work!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p0k3y:
I agree, Vanir is silky smooth with its stock kernel. Even though I get crappy benchmarks, from the comments here, sounds like there is nothing to gain by flashing custom kernels other than higher benchmark results. In fact, actual performance could feel worst with more reliability problems. Anyone disagrees?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fantabrothe:
It could happen, in general, but usually custom kernel allows oc features, like setting the cpu at 1500mhz, which is, in my personal opinion, the optimal frequency for tegra3 (see htc one x or lg 4x hd).

I think also that some well known custom kernels are very reliable at this development point..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] flamand:
I'm new to this rom. With or without Okydo it's smooth and fast. However, I'm having FC's on a couple of apps I use all the time. (Zinio and Box) Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] arnavk007:
Does anyone else have a problem when you first flash the 4.3 nightlies? The home button is not working and no app opens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Souron29:
Flash gapps and it will work
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kareemgonna:
I totally disagree, Vanir with the stock kernel without over clocking is great but under heavy usage i.e HD games and heavy usage any rom without over clocking doesn't match the snappiness and the responsiveness of the N7 over clocked at 1.5. Also the gpu performs fantastically at 446 and at 520 with no FC or lag at all. The Tegra 3 was built to perform great at those speeds and I also noticed that by lowering the lowest cpu frequency to 102mhz battery life increased significantly with no performance issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] p0k3y:
Well, I took the plunge and loaded the Oxydo kernel, then use TricksterMod to OC the CPU to 1600 and GPU to 596. It worked fine for about 12 hours. This morning it took a dump and rebooted when I was just browsing the web. It wouldn't boot correctly at all after that. I had to reflashed Vanir, and even had to wipe data to get everything back again. Maybe it's just bad luck, but I am staying with Vanir stock for now. It's smooth enough for me, even after playing HD games like Defense Zone 2.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
Use V-11 446, you had the gpu overclocked to high for Vanir.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] csamolot:
I have a stupid question. How do I enable logging? I tried going to /etc/init.d/98sonic_shock and commenting out the rm command but its not in the file. Is it somewhere else now and all my logs are showing 0 bytes and no info in them.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PrimeDirective:
stock vanir has logging enabled. /dev/log/main
[Nexus 7 Android Development] csamolot:
Thanks Prime. I kinda figured. I was on the 9/26 version. Just updated to 10/1 and now it's logging. Don't have a clue what happened.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
Hey guys, Prime has linked a temporary fix for native USB OTG in the OP until he gets it fixed. Just scroll down right under the nightlies link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36678185&postcount=1

With this, you no longer need apps like stickmount, OTG helper etc. You will be able to see your flashdrive listed automatically as usb storage in settings/storage, in addition, file explorers will show it as usb disk or usb disk1, as opposed to the sda designation assigned by apps like stickmount.

Just flash the zip in the OP after you've flashed the rom, you'll have to flash the zip each time you update the rom until Prime gets it fixed in the source.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] LucentBirch:
This is just one thing about Vanir that bugs me a bit, and I'm just putting it out there, but the app previews within 'recent apps' or app switcher just are a bit too big for my liking. I don't know if anyone feels the same way...

if they are like that for a specific reason I would be interested to know what it is :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Souron29:
bigger preview means more pictorial info about the apps. I don't know y people like the small ones so much.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] LucentBirch:
I can understand that, but these previews are so pixilated I can't read anything in them like I can with the smaller ones.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tzlot:
Heh yeah I'd prefer smaller too.... How awesome is it that there isn't anything else bugging us? Keep up the good work! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kareemgonna:
+1 other than the huge recents menu, I love this rom. I also wish that in the tablet UI they change the way you go from the notification menu to the quick settings tiles. The button is so small so I usually end up pushing the date instead and that opens the clock. In other roms pushing the date opens the tiles. I wish that they would add that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] waz675:
I don't know if anything can be done, (want log file(s)?) but the only problem I have found is the following; in nightlies 0919, final fantasy 5 runs perfect. Since dirty flashing 1001 nightly, ff5 simply just exits out when I try to run. No messages or anything, just goes back to home screen. I am using the same kernel (oxydo) with the same settings I had.

Anyone have any clue, and if needed, let me know of any logs wanted. Cheers

Oh also, I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it a couple times with same thing happening.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Just to confirm, I dirty flashed 0919 nightly again and FF5 started again. Having my daughter's 4th birthday party tomorrow so might keep 0919 on so I can play ff5 tonight to relax. 2 days spent mowing lawns, cleaning up and some other stuff makes me just want to relax tonight. I'll wait til the terrors err kids leave tomorrow before installing another nightly if any logs are needed or to try another nightly version if wanted (from prime I guess).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chan1628:
i'm running 10/02 nightly with oxydo v11

its a great combination, the tablet is running very nicely

however, GOLFSTAR is the only app that's not running and it is the game that I play the most... so i'm contemplating whether i should sacrifice playing the game to stay with this great rom or if I have to go back to 4.2.2, where I'm getting that massive GSF data download issue

anyone play these games experiencing the same issues?

edit: oh yea, one more game doesn't work: Minion Rush ... Minion tries to load, but then it'll crash and sends me back to my homescreen, whereas Golfstar just hangs during load up and I have to manually kill the app. Slim v8 4.2.2 does not give me such issues

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skeeterdrums:
I'm running 10/06 without any issues. It might be a bad download or a bad flash, so it might be worth retrying either of these. Also, I've been using twrp 2.6.3 on the latest bootloader, so I'm not sure if either of those might be different than what you've tried.

WiDi ???

Hi There!

First I wanna thank you for this ROM. Ive tried many but none could match up with this one.

Now, my question... yeah Ive searched but didnt find answers, WiFi option in Display is toggleable. Is ist working now? Lags? Ready for Gaming? Netgear Push2Tv adapter??

greetz!

I am getting the same, 26/9/2013 works ok for me, but 01/10/2013 and later all just spam FCs right after booting, tried clean installs/wipes, different kernels .. on tilapia with the latest 4.3 bootloader and radio ..

btw, shouldn't this thread be categorized under original dev? just asking...

Flashed 4.3.1 version for tilapia and still getting systemui force close on boot. Recovery and bootloader r all fine. and not a bad download
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Skeeterdrums:
Try grabbing a logcat (adb logcat > logcat.txt from your pc when it's connected) from your computer the next time you boot your device and post it here. If you can catch the force close in the logcat file, there may be a fix for it. I had this issue once when I updated to the 10/6 nightly after the initial boot from the install, but I haven't seen it since. Everything's been rock solid for me, thanks for the hard work on this ROM!
