I am now more inclined to look at 3D Mark benchmarks rather than Antutu, since it can be easily optimized. See comparison of Mediatek Octacores to S4 Pro Antutu benches. MTK has higher Antutu but lower 3D Marks. But in real life performance, the S4 Pro has better performance compared to those octacores.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I agree. Benchmarks have there useses but may not always be all inclusive.

Also, when you compare from chip to chip... there are a ton more variables, like the rest of the O/S, the device, the quailty of the PCB, etc. There is a lot to it. So its best to benchmark only the same device. To go device against device is a challenge for any benchmark.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Yeah, I found out the hard way. :P

Will be flashing back to "stock" CleanRom this weekend again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
I reinstalled my Nexus 7. Went back to stock 4.4.2 and reinstalled TWRP and CleanRom 2.6.5

All good now! :)

At the moment I'm wondering if I still need Franco Kernel installed with CleanRom.

Does it really add anything? I know it's a great kernel! So I'm not saying it doesn't do any good but I would like to know if it really adds anything when running CleanRom.

Any thoughts on that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I generally stay out of Kernel discussions... And I only recommend Flar2's work. I'll let the other guys tell you what they think...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Ok, thanks for the quick reply.

I'll just wait and see/read. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
CleanROM 2.7 is coming out later on today...

Just an FYI for those that are thinking about flashing... You may want to hold off until 2.7 comes out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Nooooooo hahahaha I just flashed my N7 last weekend. :P

Ah well... I love flashing so no probs. I'll just flash again. haha.

Can you give us a little peek at what's new?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Just minor improvements here and there...

The big thing is that I have made it De-odex and compatible with ART at the same time :highfive:

As well, I have added my own fstrim system to keep the tablet at peak performance all the time.

Couple other minor edits here and there but those are the two big ones.

Here is the entire change log...

Should be up soon! These Nexus 7 ROMS are so small compared to Note 3 and M8!!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Sounds wicked mate!!

So no need for trim apps anymore? I've been using LagFix Premium for a while.

Will be re-flashing tonight again. ;-P
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] vali_ics:
If we'll flash the new rom, all the gravity settings are gone I think yes?

I like more the stock kernel versus custom one. It feels more smoother in my opinion.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yes, that was my intent. To eliminate the need for a 3rd party app! I like a clean app drawer!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Wicked mate!

Loving your 2.6.5 rom so 2.7 will be more love all around. :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
If you want to run ART runtime please make sure you read post #2! Synopsis: You need to flash the stock power menu! See post #2 and you will understand!

Other than that... This thing is the smoothest yet. The fstrim util does make a difference. It will run right after install and then again on every reboot!

Happy Memorial Day to all my Fellow Veterans and all My Brothers and Sisters still Serving with Pride!!!

NSDQ!​

Enjoy!

-Scott
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Scott, great work again!!

Will be flashing this beauty tonight. Cheers!

I do trust you and will disregard the message.

But I'm just curious what did you change/optimize to Nova?

Btw just sent you a small donation for all your hard work! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Nova was Zip aligned and that changes the MD5 so it thinks its been hacked. Not a big deal. Normally, I take Nova out before I zip align but I forgot to this time so therefore it thinks its modded... And in a way it is... But not really.

Thanks for the donation! Much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cmlx:
I thought you would probably release a new build after official 4.4.3 rolls out :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, but its taking too long. And the last update on this ROM was about 3 months ago... Which is not a bad thing... But I wanted to added some little improvements like the auto TRIM and get ART working properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Foulwx:
Just a quick question from a relative newbie...the first posts as well as your website say that this is android 4.4.1, KOT49H. Is it 4.4.2, or are there some differences I don't know about? Thanks for the info, and thanks for all your work!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] daraldf:
I was just thinking yesterday that it's been a while since I flashed the ROM on my N7. I've been running CleanROM since the day you came back to the Nexus 7 Scott. This will give me time to do some backing up and other prep. Keep up the great work!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Its 4.4.2...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cmlx:
Auto TRIM sounds very good, but ART is conflicted with xposed, I have to choose dalvik, xposed is too important to me. :crying:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ambyy:
pls i seriously need help
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Just flash stock Google 4.4.2 image through ADB/fasboot.

After that everything is back to stock and you're able to install TWRP again and eventually flash CleanRom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ambyy:
Ok thank you so much. i can't access adb mode, what tool will i use?

Going back to Cleanrom on the N7 ASAP. Happy memorial day to you as well my fellow vet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kafej666:
The q now is:

I can just flash it on 2.6 or clean install ??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] buddahj:
I did a clean install.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Same for me...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Mmmmm.... Over 2.6 or 2.65... A dirty install would probably be fine. Just make sure you make a Nandroid before you flash...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] grox:
Do we need to install a custom kernel? Or do we loose the trim support then?

I came from the old Nexus 7, also had custom ROM and kernel. What kernel can we use with this ROM? Now i am on 2.6.5 with ElementalX-N7-2.10.1. I go for great battery life, speed and stability. Good choice this kernel and rom?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Did you get it? I think everyone told you both ways I would have suggested.

Also if you have a USB to Micro USB adapter you can copy the ROM to that and flash from that.

That question is somewhat open to interpretation... It's the latest official stock build from Google. The touchscreen is actually parts of the OS and firmware. If you have been using Stock Google 4.4.2 with no issues then you should continue to have no issues. If you have issues with 4.4.2 then you will continue to have issues. You can change out the firmware pretty easy though. I think there are like 4 or 5 panel types which is the cause of the touchscreen issue.

There is a thread somewhere that it explains it in more depth than this and has the firmware for each panel.

Roger that Airborne Team Leader!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hendav:
I flashed dirty over 2.6 and all is well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Kernel should not affect fstrim. I would keep Elemental X kernel after you flash ROM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Just an FYI; I posted the stock Nova.apk in Post #2 at question #8. If you flash that it will remove the warning that Nova has been modified.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Been running 2.7 for a few hours now.

Clean install. Went back to stock and flashed TWRP back and after that CR2.7.

Installed Titanium Backup and put all my apps back in place.

Running AnTuTu gives me a solid 24333 score.

All very nice!! For now I will stick with the stock kernel and stock Qualcomm drivers.

I don't think much improvement can be made anymore. I'm a happy camper once again.

Also thanks for the Nova fix!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ambyy:
thanks everyone but when i type "adb devices" no device is listed. As for the USB to micro USB cable, i don't have that.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Hope you guys have not forgotten that i completely wiped my ROM? system, data, everything. can i use adb under this circumstance with no usb debug...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, its pretty snappy.

Nova fix kinda made me mad as I knew better than to zipalign Nova! ARGH!

You need drivers for recovery mode... What Operating System do you have? Please say Windows!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ambyy:
hahahaha.. Windows. Guess what? my adb where not properly set up. everything is fine now. thanks guys.

Is it my eyes or is the DPI different from stock? Is there a way to get it back? Not sure if I like it or not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kayone73:
It's your eyes, its the same
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Ahhhh, yes, I did the same thing actually. But I remembered on my Nexus 7 OG I had to wipe data completely. That resolved the issue for me.

All of the above!

I dont know what you consider bloat but anything beyond YouTube and Email and a browser is bloat to me. Example: Currents, magazines, Earth, etc.

Original dev is for people who create something from scratch. Per XDA's own policy only Google should be posting in it because every other variant of Android is not original. Its modified code that they got from Google. But XDA considers modifying Googles code to be original. But when I modfy the code in reverse fashion I am no longer original.

But I wont get into semantics. Official builds of Cyanogen Mod would go there, or Official PA builds.

Its your eyes or you changed the DPI.

Agreed!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Also, one more point to this...

Only Linus Tarvold should be posting kernels in Original development as every Android and Linux kernel stems from his work.

None of the kernels in Original Android Development are truly original. They are someone else's work modified.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
And one last point...

App inventors should go to original development because they are really making something from scratch...

And even then they are using prebuilt API's, etc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Kayak83:
The launcher icons were slightly larger, which I was able to make smaller via the settings menu.Now it looks more like stock. 50% me 50% launcher. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
What launcher are you using?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Aria807:
That does get a bit confusing, but I think in general what they should do for classification would be for example in the case where a device normally comes with TouchWiz would go in the OEM category, and all others (AOSP/AOKP/CM/etc..) goes into another. That way in the case of CleanROM, it's pretty much based off of OEM experience, would go in the OEM category for easy reference. As you know there are many ppl out there that don't like to take big risks running very different ROMs than stock so they would know where to look.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I agree with you 100% As matter of fact you should suggest they change the name of the forums. I would be behind you on that.

But they way have it now, by letter of the word, makes no sense.

Then one guy, posted an "unoffcial" CM10.2 build and I was told its not original development because it want "official".

Now tell me that is not confusing! :eek:

Hence, I stand by my statement, as it stands, Only Google and Linus Tarvold should be posting in original development and no one else.

But its not that serious. Just minor point of contention for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] teh roxxorz:
True as it may be, I think its just done as a dropped surface level for 'some' type of distinction.

Though like you, I agree with you sentiment.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, no doubt.

IM stressin' it. IM just pointing out my POV on a question that was asked.

The last gent had an excellent idea, why not Call it OEM and Custom or

OEm and Original.

I think that would be an excellent idea!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] teh roxxorz:
*Nudge nudge* Well, maybe you should bring it up to a mod, etc. For what it's worth, I'll back you on it.

[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] thank you for a great update. At first I was hesitant to update because it means that I would lose Gravity Box in place of ART. But iI gave it a shot, and WOW! The speed and fluidity is light very noticeable. I actually feel like I do not need it anymore (G-Box). I hope you can continue this masteroeice for future versions of Android!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] andyman_187:
dirty flashed, booted fine. switched to ART, bootloop. anyone else?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dark2099:
2.6.5 had the advance power menu (APM) enabled by default which does not work with ART, grab the zip in the 2nd post to go to no APM. Flash that and you should be good.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Luzmo:
Read the instructions before flashing. You have to flash stock power menu from "CleanRom" folder inside your internal sd before switching to ART.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Hmmm.... While in twrp, reboot to bootloader. Then when in bootloader, reboot to recovery and try again.

Symlinks fail because something is not mounting correctly. This can happen if you wipe a certain way or if you accidentally mounted / unmounted something in recovery.

Yes, go back and read #1 of the FAQ's.

I can only assume you missed the part about needing to flash the stock power menu?

EDIT: The other guys beat me to it :silly:

Very well! I think people are confused because you dont have to run ART. Its just there and working if you do. I need to update the OP so it better explains.

However, I think ART is pretty snappy!

ahk, yeah i knew reading would help...thanks! also found this for those who might be interested:

you can flash these zips in recovery to switch between ART and Dalvik in case of bootloops

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Any one...?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Well, reading that thread it appears that Its not supported by google but someone posted a boot.img file that will allow ethernet. I am going to decompile it and see what they did.

Look in post #81 of that thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
After decompiling it I see that they added this to init.flo.rc

service dhcpcd_eth0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -ABDKL
class main
disabled
oneshot

service iprenew_eth0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -n
class main
disabled
oneshot

My assumption is that those are what make ethernet work. Also, that RAM disk looks like it may have came from a ROM called "Purity". It also looks to be comaptbile with CR 2.7.

But as always make a nandroid first.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Thanks for checking mate!

So flashing that boot file would probably make it work?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I would have to believe so but I cannot state this for fact as I dont have USB Cat5 LAN connections.

Worse thing is you could try it. Make a Nandroid before you do. If it works let me know and I will make a more specific version for my ROM.

But for the most part that boot.img is the same kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Panja:
Okido, thanks!

Will be ordering an OTG cable and USB LAN connector today from DX.com

When I receive it I will post my findings and let you know!
