4.11 is uploading now. It will show up on the OTA updater in about 20 minutes.

You only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reinstall GAPPS after update from 4.00, no need for a factory reset.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
v4.11 is up. Sorry for the screwup with 4.10.

Installed this ROM but in ota it shows that there is an update

Re: [30/03/13][ROM][4.2.2][SentinelROM] v4.11 - CM10.1 Source - Fast, Stable, Battery

Does the notification disappear if you refresh? Does it ask you to update to 4.00. I'll check the OTA server when I get home.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
There was a typo on the OTA server. I've fixed it now. Should be OK after a reboot or refresh.

Re: [30/03/13][ROM][4.2.2][SentinelROM] v4.11 - CM10.1 Source - Fast, Stable, Battery

I installed this ROM about 2 days ago and its been running great. One small question, is it possible to get the orientation lock button in the upper right pulldown menu? This feature is available with the stock ROM.

Anyway, thanks for the hard work, I'm really enjoying this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
You should be able to add 'orientation-lock' to the quick settings menu under 'settings - system - quick settings panel'.

I'm glad you're enjoying the ROM :)

Cool, got it. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cjn14:
I just flashed the 4.11 build last night. I like how you gave us the ability to download only the apps we really want for our N7 from google play. Since we are rooted, anything else can be sideloaded. So far, so good. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your work, much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ethested:
Wow!

This Rom is amazing!

Smooth, fast and with its own a little bit modified stock launcher. <==That's what i want without knowing it.

There are only 2 problems:

Dunno if Bluetooth can be disabled (i disabled it butbit shows it takes 53% battery...)

Settings get closed when clicking on Themes/Designs
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks heaps for the feedback and thanks for the donation CJN :)

I'm not sure about Bluetooth... Can anyone else confirm this issue?

As for themes, it's stull a bug in CyanogenMod 10.1 from what I can tell and what I've read. I'll have a look into it though and see what I can do.

Thanks again :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ethested:
Redownloaded and reflashed it:

The Bluetooth problem only appears after restoring my (only Data) Nandroid.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for taking the time to write back and I'm glad you solved your problem. Maybe use titanium weather than recovery to back up and restore your data. It's a bit more flexible.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ethested:
Ok, I'll do it next time ;)

Just a little question:

I don't have this Sentinel icon for the app drawer, how can i change it...?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's part of the stock launcher in my ROM (modified Trebuchet launcher).

Are you using a different launcher?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bragh:
After i've installed it yesterday it was stock also. no sentinal-icon.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I must have forgotten to update it when I compiled. I'll fix it up in the next build :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sotong9392:
I can't turn ON/OFF GPS from tile short-cut, is it a bug?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Can anyone else confirm this bug? I don't have a test unit.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Weefeeri:
Hi!

Here is my quick video of this ROM:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAd4U5xleJY

Watch it please thx!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks heaps for the video. I'll add it on my website and to the OP
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sotong9392:
Can anyone check? GPS won't turn on even I have turn on.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Someone reported that earlier. A factory reset and fresh install should fix that I'd you're using the stock SentinelROM kernel.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sotong9392:
I was clean install this ROM, mean now I have to re-install?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you factory reset and erase dalvik cache after you installed the rom?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sotong9392:
No, I factory reset before install ROM.

SO, now I should

Install ROM

Factory reset

Install GAPPS?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Correct. Wipe dalvik cache too
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Just wondering if you got it working OK sotong?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dj.rachit:
Seen a lot of threads but never seen a developer this helpful and concerned. Thanks for the ROM!

:D :)

EDIT: The ROM is amazingly fast and smooth like butter. Never experienced such flow in any other ROM. Once again, thanks for the ROM :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks mate. I appreciate the support. The biggest part of good customer service is "Post Sale" so to speak!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:

Bluetooth works fine for me

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sounds like you need to factory reset. Did you restore data via recovery or Titanium from a different ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] oconnell84:
So I followed the OP install directions. Using CWM I did the proper wiping as I am not a noob. After booting up the first run I let the tablet sit for 10 min then rebooted to recovery to flash Gapps. I never made it to recovery. It seems that the flashing of the rom somehow removed my recovery. I was able to jump back into fastboot mode and reflash recovery, this time going with TWRP. I reflashed the rom and gapps at the same time to avoid the issue I had before. Seems stable now but just pointing this out. Looks good otherwise!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback.

There is no way my ROM could overwrite recovery as it's stored on a different partition. However I have seen recovery randomly flake out like that before (with different ROMs too), that's why I recommend TWRP in my OP.

I recommend always making a Titanium backup as well as I've seen restore fail in TWRP a few times (again running various ROMs).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] oconnell84:
I agree it wasn't the room as I've had this issue on my phone. Just wanted to point out my issue and the solution was reflashing recovery with TWRP and not CWM. Thanks for a smooth rom as everything is working perfectly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Glad to hear it's all good :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dj.rachit:
This is what it says after a clean install and factory reset.

EDIT: The app "GPS Status - Test and Fix" says that the GPS is not available (nor it is available to any other app including Maps)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dwxvi:
Does this ROM happen to include CRT Lock animations? I'm interested in giving it a try.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm not sure what to suggest. No-one else is having issues with GPS. You might need to wipe your system partition and reinstall.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you have any luck after the wipe/re-install?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I've started work on v4.30. Updates will be posted on twitter and Facebook and I'll post back here when its ready :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
SentinelROM v4.30 is now available.

Changelog:

21/04/2013:-

v4.30 -

*Updated to latest CM10.1 source (Android 4.2.2)

*Kernel and ROM tweaks for improved performance

*Improve Wi-Fi signal strength.

*Addresses any issues with SystemUI memory leaks.

NOTE: If you have GAPPS missing after the update, reinstall the latest GAPPS package using link in OP.

I m using 4.11 without Gapp. Just DL 4.30 but hv flashed it yet.Can I flash 4.30 over 4.11 without any wipe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
You just need to wipe your caches. Have fun!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] grox:
On ota update, i het an md5 error. Will you fix thuis?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
The issue with OTA update should now be resolved. Sorry about that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tshot:
That is how much the screen is using, not the battery percentage.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] grox:
Update works! Great ROM!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 266K:
I flashed 4.30 over 4.11 by just wiping caches fr TWRP recovery. all the apps dl from Playstore are working fine except PlayStore and Googel Talk, think these two are default came with the ROM 4.11. I don't want to flash standard Gapps with all the apps. I saw there is a smaller size Gapp zip in "Ready to Flash" directory, shud I go back to recovery to flash it?

BTW my Nexus 7 is a 8GB version primarily used by my wife. So far per my wife think your ROM is working much smoother than Standard JB 4.2.2.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
The safest option is to flash the full GAPPS package linked in the OP, then update your individual apps via the play store.

Thats the way I test it before I release the ROM. I can't verify any other method, but do let us know if you find something that works.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pwlj:
Just wanted to bump this topic :)

Great ROM, great battery and speed. So far i think it's the best compromise between battery and performance. I think I'm sticking to it ;)

Stability is also notable!

No issues, no drain, no FCs!

I was lookoing for some linaro compiled one, but finally gave up - all had some battery related issues.

Great job!

GPS issue. Not turning on.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Format system partition and wipe cache then reinstall ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Droid117:
I'll give that a try.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Droid117:
The problem still exists.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
That's very strange and I'm not aware of anyone else who's having issues with GPS after a fresh install.

Did you manually wipe the system partition from within recovery, or factory reset?

You might need to try also wiping your data.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Droid117:
Manually wiped through CWM. No other rom has had this issue. The rom was a clean install. I noticed somebody else had this issue.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm not sure what else to suggest because no one else seems to have a problem. Sorry mate. Maybe give v4.20 a shot. The update was only minor to v4.30
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Droid117:
I'll have to give it a try.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ZeikHunter:
would you consider a feature request? I fell in love with the option to swap the nav buttons and the clock positions in tablet mode on a ROM that is no longer functional for me. (clock on the left, nav buttons on the right)

Your rom is where i'd like to go next, but hitting the nav buttons with my left thumb is just unnatural to me now. I dont understand why google didnt swap it in the first place.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry mate. Tablet UI is depreciated and no longer supported by Google. It would have to be a hack job, and would have to be redone every time the cyanogen framework is updated which isn't realistic.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ZeikHunter:
oh joy. now I can have a phone with a 7" screen that dosnt make calls. good work, google.

thanks for the heads-up, sentinel. keep up the good work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry mate. I know what you mean. Perhaps in this case ou're better off with a different ROM :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:

Who's got the best battery stats?

I'm curious to know just how good the battery life can be with this ROM. Does anyone have any personal stats for %battery drained per hour, over a period of 6 or more hours? If this is capable of 2% per hour drain when idle I'd be keen to try it out.

(and yes I know it all depends on personal use - I'm just looking for the best experiences that people have had so far)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
This has been covered a few times in this thread. Every time it's been solved by a system and data wipe, plus flushing the dalvik cache and system cache.

Copy ROm to SD card.

Wipe system partition

Wipe data partition (this will clear your contacts and app data so make sure you have a backup if required

DO NOT WIPE SD CARD

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe system cache

Reinstall ROM

Reinstall Gapps

Enjoy
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Haizum74:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry mate. Not sure what else to suggest. Maybe try a different CM based ROM and see if you have the same problem. then report back. that will tell me if it's something in my code or in the CM base that's causing your issue. It's just strange that you're the only one with the problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Haizum74:
Yeh Ive not really enjoyed the other ROMS. I edited my original post with a logcat. Not sure if its any help. Shame this as I have your ROM on my SIII and GPS works a treat.

Hi Guys

Iv had my N7 for a while now and rooted with stock rom, yesterday I decided to try out this one its the first rom iv put on my N7, and its good but I am also not getting any GPS just says (searching for GPS...) never finds it, everything else seems fine so far.

Cheers:)

PS. not sure if this has been asked before sorry if so, but is there a way to get the softkeys to wake the N7 ie (S2W)?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sentinel196:
There must still be some kind of issue with GPS. I'll look into it further for the next version guys. It must be a bug somewhere in my repo.

In the meantime if you flash a CM10.1 nightly, then flash back to my ROM without a system wipre it should fix it.

There’s a lot of hype in the XDA forums recently around Linaro Toolchain.

Linaro Toolchain is used when compiling a ROM and supposedly gives large performance increases over ROMs which are compiled in the traditional manner.

I decided to put it to the test by recompiling my existing SentinelROM v4.40 source code for Nexus 10 using the Linaro Toolchain, then running a series of tests using the standard ROM and kernel, as well as the ROM and kernel compiled with Linaro.

See the results here in this video, all filmed in one take.
