A little thread cleaning.

I know a couple young bucks need to back off the keyboard for awhile. No reason to get into "flaming" mode. Plenty of Kit Kat to go around.

[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] Grats Scot on the build. :good:

Much better is you install Ubuntu as a separate OS and have dual boot. VM can get a little flaky. Also, you don't run into as many issues.

Has anyone checked if with these 4.4 AOSP ROMS the touchscreen multi-touch issue is gone? Or works better?

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Can you post more info please?

How about a short YouTube video showing the improvements?

That would be awesome.

Anyone else find the new google launcher really ugly?

Not really feeling the cosmetic changes of 4.4 at all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jackxlj:
I haven't had any multi touch issues, I also haven't had a single reboot since flashing 4.4, where's I was getting reboots multiple times a day
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] crackmulah:
Wow. this is running great considering its less that 24 hours since release. thanks very much!

I too experience that keyboard pop up after pressing home in the new launcher, pulled from Nexus 5. Not a big deal, will wait for a solution, or try to find one myself.

All of the Nexus 5 apps (hangouts, launcher, googlenow, etc) seem to be working fine, except that I cannot get the new Camera to work (just stays on black screen, with camera UI) and the new Gallery will not install. Is anyone experiencing the same behavior?

On a related note, Focal will not work either, so maybe the camera function is just totally borked in this ROM?

EDIT: Has anyone figured out how to get printing working?

Binaries involve more then the CPU and GPU of which are quite different. Also, that small difference makes it incompatible.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Moscow Desire:
More than likely might use the same frequency and voltage tables, but the rest, different. Most kernel configs have multiple tables, speedo, etc for several permutations of CPU during compile depending on series. But different devices none-the-less.

What happened to the new 4.4 launcher? The default launcher this rom comes with seems like the one from Jellybean?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] p-slim:
The only problem I have is that locations doesn't work even when using WiFi and mobile networks only. This is obviously a minor issue
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, I am a little dissapointed as well. Especially after someone pointed out the camera.

What do you think the cause of that is?

Also, I tried to implement the google location services like you showed in the prior builds but nothing. However, no F/C so that is plus, I think? lol

Thanks for the heads up Jak! Cant wait to see your fixes!

Considering we dont have half the **** we need and the other half is ****ed up b y Google, this is a pretty fair ROM.

Wait until Google pushes the final Nexus 7 release and we will be much better off.

Consider this more of a "testing it out ROM"

Nice find!!!

Cool, your welcome. Feel free to join in the build discussion with us. It turned back into a ROM thread but soon the hype will die down and we can talk about building again!

Plus if your windows locks up while your building in V/M you dont loose everything :o

Thank you! It was fun! How is the kernel business coming out?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Okaham:
hi, can i flash this, or any other Android 4.4 KitKat builds with MultiROM Mod?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Ok, I have re-opened the thread and clarified its purpose...

This is a ROM Development thread for those that Develop on AOSP.

Its not *****ing and moaning thread. Rather a thread to discuss the issues and how to FIX issues.

If you have no knowledge of AOSP code then this may not be a good thread for you to particiapte in.

If you are here to ask for features... You are in the wrong thread.

This is a thread for developers, by developers for developing from source.

The ROM was placed out for everyone to play with while google gets the rest of the binaries and source in order for our device. But once again, if your not a developer, please hold your commments to a simple issue you note.

The arguing back and forth is not tolerable. This is to be a fun hobby for me and the other developers and to wake up to a bunch of people getting into a pissing contest about things they really dont even know about is quite a let down.

So with that said...

The thread is re-oepened..

Please keep it civil...

Chromecast worked great, and played movies on stock Video player, Rock Player Lite, and Rockplayer 2 with Slimport flawlessly! Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Damn! Thats pretty good!

When we get the right binaries and fixes in place this will be pretty smooth!

Come on GOOGLE!!! We are waiting on you!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Thanks Jak.

Im trapped for another 2 hours :crying:

I keep checking the nexus driver pages, as well, and dont see anything new...

I thought Google would be better about this but I bet they just want to sell that N5.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
I ordered one of those lol, but I think the camera not showing up is that the coding for it is not there at the moment for the flo, but yeah most times when AOSP drops a update it generally come after ALL the devices have the OS first so the binaries and everything is dropped at the same time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] pabelow03:
Noob (like baby noob)

Hey Scott, I just saw this as an opportunity. I will try to make my own rom :laugh: but Im not that great at learning by myself, however i just want to ask that if I get stuck or anything happens can you like be my mentor and help me. What I mean is if I mess up anything will you help me? :o
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Hahahah, No, IM talkign about American Football, you know, the REAL football ;)

But not to derail my own thread as that as been done enough in the past 24 hours...

I have a G2 and love it...

So what you are saying is close to what I intially thoerized yesterday...

And that is (put simply) the binaries and code are not ready yet hence no cam.

Which would also explain why we dont have an official OTA.

I still think its marketing... And google is trying to make us wait a few days while they hype the N5. But take that with a grain of salt, as the only thing I know about AOSP are the things you have taught and what I could actually gleen from the Android source site.... lol Hell your the one that talked me into doing a source build on the Nexus 10, lol. That shows how new I am to this.

But it just feels like a marketing gimick, your thoughts?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
This here is the true and entire point of the thread.

Not the ROM but how to make the ROM.

If you follow the instructions in Post #2, they are updated as of late last night when I got out of work.

You could go from point a to point b and have a flashable 4.4 ROM identical to mine in a few hours.

Depends on CPU speed and download speed of course.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
yeah the some camera binary is there as it seems its been open-sourced but something is missing to have the app start ......

As far as AOSP I don't think its marketing I just simply think that the new maintainers may have jumped the gun a little, past practice has mostly been, new device release, existing device ota release, AOSP/Binary release/factory image release......

So as far as marketing "Big G" is all over the place they did something different with the nexus5 its almost like they new the MotoX was horrible so they wanted to re-release the same concept but on a better device so in my opinion its almost like Google wants to mainstream this phone like it did with the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Hey check this out...

I just got an email from a guy who cannot post in the thread...

I will test that tonight because the old fix did not work....

Thanks Jesus and the baby Jesus I didint do a make clobber!

I have a dual Xeon 5520 system to play with too... May just load that up as my build box and see what it can do. Thats 16 logical CPUs and 32 gigs of RAM. Its currently running windows 2012 with a Linux Firewall Hyper V and Windows 2012 Essentials Hyper V.

The dual Xeon may be over kill for that but might be nice for this!

Thread Cleaning

Thread cleaning at request of OP.

If your post was deleted, it was probably because;

a. Off topic

b. Whiny

c. Known issues

d. Thank You's, you're awesome, etc...

Just hit the Thanks button, no need to make a post for it. Try to keep the thread pages to a minimum.

If your post gets caught up in the cleaning, it's probably due to one of the above. Nothing else, so no ill will intended.

Cleaning commences......

EDIT: 130 posts cleaned out. If you feel your post shouldn't have been deleted, because it contained critical information, such as logcat or demesg attachments, let me know.

If you try to flash the deb rom with Multirom, the flashing process fail with the message "this packege is for deb, your device is a flo".

Do you know what the word "development" means?

30+ pages. Not once have I seen a logcat or dmesg. Just " wha wha wha this don't work"

Anybody here besides me, Scrosler and a couple others know what development means?

When you launch yer app, what happens?????? (please do not say nothing) run logcat, launch yer app, and attach the logcat file or be quiet.

Logcats are golden...... Rule #1.

Kernel bootloops and errors, Demesg file. Rule #2.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dobbs3x:
I haven't messed with it yet. Have you done a bench mark on both to see if art is making a difference in performance?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
How'd that work out Jak?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Did anyone note that the device was louder?

looking at the changes in audio_affects.conf they added a "loudness_enhancer"

loudness_enhancer {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libldnhncr.so
}

loudness_enhancer {
library loudness_enhancer
uuid fa415329-2034-4bea-b5dc-5b381c8d1e2c
}

Just thought that was interesting as that was my number one gripe, I could not hear the tablet at full volume. Need to test this new lib file.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
Still working on it. I got the lib camera.flo.so to build correctly but I still can't even get a launcher icon lol.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I also implemented the Google Location services as recomended and that is workign as it should...

I will upload my current build for those that may whish to help out troubleshooting or just want to see the progress made...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
Thanks will re-sync .... you are using the 4.4 branch and not master ?

Correct. 4.4_r1
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Build 11-2-2013 is up!​

Brief Change List - Build 11/2/2013

Re-sync'ed repo and camera magically builds but is NOT functional!

Added location services for Google apps like Chrome(thanks [MENTION=3286382]nbehary[/MENTION])

Dropped Deb support, just dont have the time work on it. Will come back later.

Download link in the OP!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kptnk:
Great ! Thanks Scrosler :) !

Downloading this new build. The first one would be my daily only if i could watch videos....while waiting for MX or VLC to update to 4.4, has anyone found a fonctional player with kitkat ? :(

Edit : I also tried with BS Player : video plays, but only sound, no image ; and with the stock android player, it's the opposite !!!

Sorry for the OT btw...and thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
As you can see there is still a lot to be done by Google. I would expect issues like this at this point.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dre1187:
Hey Scott,

Firstly I just wanted to thank you for providing the guide to set up a build environment, it was very helpful! I have a 2 questions about building aosp:

1) how do you disable recovery from being created/installed when you flash the zip? is it as simple as adding TARGET_NO_RECOVERY = true in /device/asus/flo/BoardConfig.mk? I am trying to not have my recovery wiped when I flash zips.

2) how did you enable adb level root access so I can flash Superuser? I saw on the source.android.com site that userdebug buildtype has root access so I assume that this is the option to select when building, is this correct?

sorry for my newb-ness!

thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TML1504:
same here for me!

[MENTION=3380378]dobbs3x[/MENTION]: was not able to do performance checking, because constantly FC's of gapps, and I did not had the time to make a clean flash without gapps to test so far!

btw.: the "optimization of apps" (compiling opt. vm?) at boot took significantly longer on ART as on dalvik!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kptnk:
Yes, sure ; they're obviously not ready yet to release the OTA for Flo...but hey, this is already awesome to rock kitkat now, 24h after it's release (well, now 2nd build after 48h) ! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] paaaulo:
?

Any chance for Deb build with location working?

RockPlayer2 is the only one working player I found so far.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
1. What I did was remove the lines from from /build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files. I attached a copy of mine to this post so you can diff the changes and or use it.

2. Thats another animal. There is no AOSP SuperUser app that "I" know of so if you are trying to incorporating it into the build you need to edit and or create your own device that has the binary and the apk and then calls the aosp build. Jak can explain more about that. What I do to add things is just tap into the vendor folder because I am only building for one single device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Did you not see the post you quoted? I said at a later time. I dont have the device so there is no inherent satisfaction for me building it. Plus it takes to long :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
Kush SuperUser can be built from source and into settings and will provide root or you can go the route Scott suggested and have the build envirionment copy the files where you need them
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Just an FYI, I created my own GApps package to include the new GoogleHome, Playstore, Youtube, Hangouts, Gmail, News and Weather, FaceLock, and the Nexus 5 Boot Animation

Link is in the OP.

EDIT: I take it back, the new GoogleHome is not that bad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mds96:
Last night I posted that, depending on the video format I played videos flawlessly with Rockplayer 2, RockPlayer Lite, and the stock video player, all watched through Slimport on our tv :)

The new home launcher isn't bad but the one that's been floating around is not meant for tablets, it does not work well in landscape
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kptnk:
Yeah, for mkv files rockplayer lite worked, thanks. But afterwards i found moboplayer working better.

Anyway, this means it is my daily now :) and is it me, or this new build seems smoother than the first one ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dre1187:
Okay cool thanks for giving me some direction i took a look at koushs superuser app and will try and give that a shot!

Much appreciated for the input and the file zip. I will diff them to see this changes !

Oh, that makes a lot of sense then. Not optimized for tablets.

Google needs to get off there ass so can get the stuff we need for this device!

YEah, thats pretty much what my file changes are as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Grizzly420:
I have quick question when i set up a folder for the repo it is downloading everything in my home folder not the designated folder.

How do i make that happen? I can't have a entire build environment in my home folder (ocd).

I tried changing the path of bin file (path=something-bin) i know that's not right but not in front of computer. Its what you put at the bottom of sudo gedit -. /bashrc.

Any help would be great.

I have everything working but it just downloads to home folder instead of

mkdir - p /andriod/system (think thats right)

You dont know how much i appreciate threads like this everything is windows or ios. Andriod being a linux distribution basically i hate learning on anything but linux.

Thanks guys in advanced. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Sounds like when you intialized the repo you did it in the home folder and not the folder you wanted.

I think at this point if everything is downloaded you could just create the folder and move the files in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] p4rot:
I really like the ROM, thanks for it.

But is it normal that when I want to access the Google keyboard setting it crashes and also the swipe on both aosp and Google keyboard doesn't work?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] sometimesido:
I used the 4.4 keyboard apk from that droid life post and swipe works fine.

I just used it to type this.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Grizzly420:
Yes sir you are correct. I did move everything into the folder i wanted but deleted because i want to learn what I did wrong

I did this also befor repo sync

cd andriod/system

Before initializing the repo sync. But it still went into my toycrawler81/home/ instead of toycrawler81/home/andriod /system. With all my normal music folders etc. Just completely made everything borked.

Not that it wouldnt work but i know i have done this and got it to go to the proper folder

Dude by the way thank you for your help and this thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dre1187:
Not sure if you noticed but android is spelled incorrectly which may have something to do with why its going into your home folder as opposed to the correct directory... also you may have done the 'repo init' command in your home folder instead of android/system if that's the case look for the two .repo files in your home folder and move it into the desired folder
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Grizzly420:
Nope the misspellings are because im on my phone i apologize for that.

I do not have two repo bin files either. Not sure why when i change directory's it downloads in another. But i refuse to build till i figure this out. I didn't have this problem when i did this before not sure what is different other than 13.10 Ubuntu vs 12.10
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DsturbD:
Scott, this is great man, really appreciate this guide! syncing aosp now!

one question i have and apologies if it has been answered, but the link you have in the OP for the binaries are for 4.3. will that not mess something up? is that what you used in your purerom?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
This is pretty much what I said earlier. He did the repo intialization in the home folder. Its got to be.

I have never heard of anything downloading to an incorrect folder ber.

Correct, thats the only thing we have right now. There is no true 100% ROM for the Neuxs 7 2013 edition. Google has not posted anything for us to use.
