I can't attest to everyone's bootlooping issue, I do a clean flash every time and have zero issues with my n7 booting or any other issues. It seems there are many like me have no issue and some that do so replicating is difficult for devs so a fix may not come any time soon but a work around for those having initial troubles has been posted a few times already

When I got into the bootloop-issue, I only did "fix permissions" and that's it

The Office Suite issue is still unresolved in this build.

Nevertheless, in the N7000 thread a workaround has been posted.

It consists of pushing the libskia.so binary from the CM10.2 build into system\library.

Could a good soul with the CM10.2 package post the grouper binary in this thread please?

Thank you.

Edit: this workaround solves issues with other apps FC's such as sync.me and so on.

Edit: Here it is ,

paste into system/lib , change permissions, reboot.

I'm relatively new to the Slim world (started around the 3rd or 4th 4.3 build I think) and I'm liking it a lot. I was just curious what the gapps update policy is. Are there a couple of devs dedicated to just the gapps? I only ask because there have been quite a few Google updates since the most recent gapps. Some apps will update, but will no longer be dark =( and other just won't update at all through the Play Store. Basically I'm wondering how often the gapps tend to get updated. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtygoldfish:
I think the lag in updating Gapps is because kufikugel (a member of the Slim team that does most of the themeing, amongst numerous other things) has been on vacation. They're usually pretty good about updated Gapps packages in my experience.

Hang At Boot/Reboot 100% Of The Time

Does anyone else have an issue where Slimbean hangs at the Slimbean logo on EVERY cold boot or reboot of the system requiring a wipe of the cache and dalvik to get it going again?

This has been going on for as long as I can remember. It's really quite annoying and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this or if anyone knew why this was occuring.

Thanks in advance.

I tried a search of XDA but the search feature was down.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
Yup....even on 4.2.2, which I prefer. Didn't find a fix....and wife got fed up. She didnt want to have to clear caches and stuff. Had to change roms....tho I love Slim!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Erovia:
I had this issue and I've nearly given up when decided to try logcat while booting. Started adb and plugged in the N7 and it booted just fine. Idk if it was because of the adb, the usb connection or both, but since then it boots every time.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Archaic1881:
Mine just boots, no need to clear anything...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
Lucky! I had issues on 4.2.2 and 4.3. A lot of the time it happened when my wife let the tab die....but some other times to. Either way, not a glitch I can live with when its mostly kids or the wife using it. ;)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metalazzo:
Hi guys !

How long does your battery last ?

I'm currently trying slimbean on my "old" N7 and I can run only 2 days and a half with about 1h-1h30/day with screen ON

Compared to cleanROM, it seems the battery drain is more important (I can live with it though). Going from sleep mode to screen ON is almost instantaneous and it was not the case with previous ROM.

I'm using a different kernel than stock slim bean kernel, maybe I should try Faux kernel which gives very good battery but sluggish UI...

Thanks for your feedback :)

PS: I had some trouble booting after the 1st flash, I forced reboot 2 or 3 times but now it's OK.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
Totally stable! After the weird initial bootloop, everything is perfect. I hope it stays as snappy after a few months. But installing an app no longer brings the tablet to its knees!

Enviado desde mi GT-I9500 usando Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 Original Development] flexfulton:
Thanks. I'm fiddling around now with adb running. No luck yet. Still the same problem.

I have also noticed that my device will hang once in a while at "Starting Apps" after it has finished optimizing them. This of course results in me powering down the unit and then having to wipe the caches again and then wait for it to optimize everything again.

Weird issue but I see there are enough people that have it but no luck sorting out why. Apparently the logcats aren't showing anything either.

Edit: I had the unit booted, shut it down via power menu. Started ADB, plugged in device and booted the unit. Unit booted normally which is never does. This however was only a 1 time deal. Back to having to wipe caches again. So there is nothing with the ADB that looks like it helps it boot but I don't know what.

Edit 2: I did a factory reset and wiped system and installed the Rom. Didn't seem to act up at all. As soon as I restored data from my nandroid, the problem was back. I don't remember having this problem at the beginning so some app or setting I have is obviously the culprit.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mikkkg:
Amazing rom, especially in combination with M mr2 kernel!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
Don't restore from nandroid. I had that once, or something similar. I reinstalled everything from market.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] flexfulton:
No I know. When I started out it was a fresh clean tablet. Nothing on internal SD or anywhere and the problem was still happening then. So I'm not willing to format everything at this time as I doubt that would fix the issue.

Thanks though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] flexfulton:
Did some reading around and I'm sure it's common knowledge but I read that disabling the lockscreen can cause problems. I re-enabled my Lockscreen and I can't seem to get it to hang anymore. So I guess I'll leave it on. Less of a hassle than having to wipe caches everytime I reboot and then have it hang at starting apps resulting in having wipe cache again and go through the whole process.

Thanks guys.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] amberkalvin:
So... do you have to basically wipe cache/dalvik every boot? How long should I let it hang on the slimbean logo before rebooting initially and wipe the cache?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
Has slim figured out this boot hang thing at all? For 4.2.2 also? I'm using another 4.2.2 rom and it doesn't do it. So just curious? I very much prefer to use slim!! ;)

But the wife won't put up with it! Lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] amberkalvin:
so here's the deal. I have not had an issue since the first initial boot of the rom. Had to wipe cache/dalvik just the ONE TIME. I have shut down, rebooted and haven't had any issues yet.

Hopefully this helps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
I'm quite seasoned at flashing...fixing...tweaking...etc.

Thanks for the advice, but I've tried it all. And as I said....another rom works just fine. Both 4.2.2 and 4.3 slim have this glitch for me...and many others seem to get this issue.

Might have to chalk it up to, not all devices are created equal. With any device I've used....some get specific common issues and some don't. LOL. My s2 rarely gets the issues I see so many others have....so I'm sure not all devices are identical down to their last diode. Probably when they were manufactured matters I'd guess. They change little things as they go thru time.

But again...thanks for the help. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] amberkalvin:
Yea, I'm not sure the issue, I hope they get this fixed. I was trying to install this rom for like 2 days because I know I like the slim roms (had it on my gnex) and never did reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, and then reboot again, so this being the first time its worked for me I was kind of excited.

So you're saying that it is persistant? It still bootloops and it makes you wipe cache every time?

That sucks! Let me know of you need me to try anything to help sort this out.

Thanks again!!

I tried to hook up a bluetooth keyboard to the nexus 7 running Slim-grouper-4.3.build.1.4-WEEKLY-1174. It will recognize the pairing but there is no where to change the input in the settings to the keyboard. I used my stock nandroid backup and it sets up perfect. I would really rather use Slim.

We don't close the threads on XDA for the moment but it would be really nice if you would join us.

Does this mean that Slim is now going commercial?

Moreover, I have the following problem: the tablet does not encrypt but merely reboots? Can this issue be solved by using a different kernel? Thank you.

The rest is a question for android88 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] android88:
umm, to be honest I've never encrypted any of my devices and especially not my grouper when I had it... I don't think it has to do with the kernel though. maybe someone could try encrypting their grouper with a 3rd party kernel and see if it make a difference
[Nexus 7 Original Development] -Tiz-:
Thanks. I tried Metallice's kernel and I also tried Oxydo kernel. Oxydo did not properly work in connection with Slim. M-Kernel failed to encrypt the device.

Could it be that the encryption feature has been left out in the Slim ROM?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] android88:
yes, could be... I'll take a look.

btw 1.8 weekly is up ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metalazzo:
Oxydo kernel is eating my battery in one day and a half... Franco kernel is not too bad. You should try, it's very stable.

Doubts before flashing from a noob

Hi all, I am a long time user of SlimBean in my Galaxy Nexus phone.

Recently I bought Nexus 7 2012 model (Grouper) and I want to flash Slimrom in it.

But I have several doubts before go ahead and flashing it.

1. I have 2 user accounts in it. If I do full wipe and flash Slimrom, will I lose the user accounts too?

2. Usually in my phone, I use Titanium Backup to save/restore user apps.

But in tablet, I can only take backup of apps in my account. So I am afraid all the installed apps in my wife's account will go away.

3. Dirty flashing will not affect the use accounts right?

I would appreciate any clarifications on these.

Anyway my phone is enjoying Slimrom in it.

Thanks in advance.

Please help!

I have now installed dozens of custom ROMs and I was never able to encrypt my tablet. This is an Android standard feature. Was it removed from the custom ROMs or do I have a problem with my tablet?

Unfortunately, no developer of any custom ROM (and no other XDA user) answers my question. Noone can tell me whether a specific custom ROM includes the encryption feature. Therefore, I do not know whether it was removed in order to reduce the size of the ROM or whether I there is something going wrong with my tablet.

Please answer. Say something. Anything.

Thanks ;)
