Okay, thanks for the info. I set up my N7 for many, many hours, and the Nova Launcher Prime backup system works great for preserving the 'front end'. This question is really not about the rom, but for anyone... If I reboot into recovery and just do a vanilla 'factory wipe', are you guys saying that it won't touch my apps? Because I don't believe that, it may not physically erase the directories but they will not be there to grab in the app drawer - at least from past experience on my phone. I ask because I was jeered and had out of date vegetables hurled in my general direction when I fired a North Korean EMP dirty nuke at my Nexus last time to ensure a 'full wipe'. If there is a way to avoid that again, well, I will give my first born child up to organ harvesters if that is what it takes. Actually, screw it - all the kids.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Factory wipe you will lose your apps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kaibosh99:
Okay, so... Is there a form of wipe in recovery that is considered a 'clean start' for a rom but doesn't touch your installed apps? I didn't think so, and if I am right why was everyone trying to smash in the doors to the observatory to stop my madness a couple of days ago? (on a side note, when you have a full device and no external SD, please by all means tell me how TB is ever going to 'work').

To clarify, even though you have squeezed the rom tighter in several ways, a dirty flash will work? Wouldn't that leave a mess if you are installing LESS stuff over the old one?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Take titanium backup...backup all user apps...then boot into twrp recovery...my wipe method is a lil overkill...go to wipe. ..factory reset 3 times..then go to advance wipe..then I wipe everything except SD 3 times..then I flash ROM and reboot...once booted up I set everything up...download titanium backup and restore all missing data apps...then all is good
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kaibosh99:
Yeah, that was pretty much my plan a couple of day ago, except... My Nexus is FULL of games, and TB didn't have enough room on the device, but it also didn't throw an error even though it ran out of room, then it completely ignored the fact that I set it up to used Google Drive (I had left it overnight, assuming all sorts of wonderful things), then the wipe I did erased all the TB backup stuff that WAS there...

I guess the way around this is:

- Disable xposed stuff

- Have enough space on device to do a full user backup with TB (might have to erase some porn)

- Do a backup of TB itself, then a backup of user app data

- Copy the above data (both of them) onto a USB thumb drive via OTG

- Put Nexus 7 in microwave for six minutes and twenty seconds on power 4 (or do a factory wipe and all that)

- Install new rom

- On first boot, stop play store

- Copy TB stuff back across from USB/OTG

- Install TB

- Restore user app data with TB

- Enable xposed stuff

- Shake fist at the sky, taunting God and/or Superman with reckless arrogance

Sound about right?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Lmao
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] busventinc:
Or like I do in titanium make a update.zip of all your apps and data make sure you go to play store and download zipsigner it helps after you have made the update.zip wipe every thing Flash the Rom and or kernel boot into rom do not log into your google account reboot into recovery Flash the update.zip and reboot make sure to give titanium su permission and once it restores the data reboot again and profit.. hope that helps :thumbup::cool:

Just got done with dirty flashing and setting up Gravity Box. Perfect, as always!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cyaclone:
Like the idea...you made the zip in TB and you flashed the TB.zip after flashing the new ROM but before the google login.......that is clear. Why do I need the zipsigner and when do I use it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:

Wait... Have you just replaced the 3.2.0 download with the new one? Shouldn't it be 3.2.5 or something? Am I missing a link somewhere?

This sounds like witchcraft to me. Time to start dunking people to see if they float, this madness must end. I absolutely MUST get TB using the OTG/USB as the backup directory, I don't care what sorcery it entails.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deacon-Frost:
Just having updated to v3.2.0 with a dirty flash. Everything's fine. Thanks for this awesome ROM.

One question, how can I enable that long press back kill app function?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Setup xposed and gravitybox...gravitybox has an option in there for it I believe (I personally don't use gravitybox)... You really don't need to kill apps since jellybean...the system does a good job all on it's own.

You can use xtheme engine for xposed but themes need to be updated for kitkit ..so everything won't be themed a 100%
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ems328i:
Thanks very much for this update, downloading now - you da man!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] budensik:
The rom is great the only thing i'm missing on kitkat and JB too is decent themes.I remember back in the days such a great themes on galaxy s and S2 ,even on my first tablet Samsung tab 7500 so what happened with these great themers where are they?

I've tried build something by myself but i'm far far from decent theme.

So the candy shop is no good for me i mean nothing special except battery icons ,it's weird we don't even have decent boot animation.

Anyway the rom is great congratulation and Thank You for your hard work

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mchockeyvette27:
I think I should do a clean install. Browser force closes and battery life has gone down significantly. Oh well, that's what happens when you don't wipe! Haha
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Yeah maybe a full wipe will do it....all is well here..haven't used much today but hasn't been on the charger since this morning
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Jleeblanch:
For me, tablet has been off the charger since 7am, its now 8:40pm, and I got 86% with moderate use thru out the day. Plus I'm running Faux's 011u Kernel (his latest Ultra kernel). I did a clean install, no dirty flashes here ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mchockeyvette27:
Yeah that's what I was getting before the update. Lol I have only 2 hours screen on light usage over one day.

Dee rom is running great no problems and still on stock kernel great job... maybe later will try another kernel but don't want to fix what is not broken :cool:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] roblxskye:
Franco kernel is fastest from my test
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Jleeblanch:
So, for everyone using the GEL Launcher (latest version along with latest version of Google Search, and is plagued with 6th icon in the dock disappearing after every reboot) along with Gravity Box (Xposed module), GB's latest update gives you option to change the grid size of the GEL Launcher. Changing to 6 columns, 6 rows will remedy the 6th icon in the dock disappearing!!

Wow, that was a mouthful! Lol... Anyway, mentioning this here as Gravity Box is an included app within this ROM. So, if you haven't done so yet, get on it ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] akwingnut:
Yeah didn't work correctly... I will wait... Thanks again...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ty949:
Sorry if this has been covered I did search but I am receiving "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting." when I open the app.

Hey Mr JD,

Just wanted to say hi. I know your rom from the HTC One XDA thread and was browsing the Nexus Dev forum when I bumped into this thread :) I'm off to get my Nexus 7 now and immediately afterwards will proceed to root&unlock and flash your rom. Just like I have done on my HTC One.

Cheers :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
You can use xtheme engine for xposed...but many themes are outdated for kitkit and need to be updated...certain things won't be themed until devs update..but you can use xtheme mixed with gravitybox to theme it most of the way and matches up pretty well

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kaibosh99:
Just a quick update, haven't heard of a full!screen update from anywhere, don't have a clue how the 'immersive mode' in Gravity Box is supposed to do anything, but the 'Immerse Me' Xposed module works great. It forces full immersive mode all the time, homescreens as well as all apps, and a quick swipe from the top or bottom edge will bring the softkeys and notification bar back quite seamlessly. The only caveat (other than per-app settings, but that will come) is that in portrait the dock sits where it would anyway, which looks goofy. Otherwise, for example while playing GTA:SA it doesn't pop up when you don't want it to, it is quite nicely tuned to a swipe from the very edge of the screen.

Why there isn't full immersive mode in KitKat natively I don't know, they could have forced some oddball gesture or a specific volume tap pattern to exit apps that haven't updated yet.

Edit: This xposed module ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437377 ) can also do 'per app' forced immersive mode in KitKat, it is still being worked on as well, but of course you need a way within the app to quit or escape or you will be forced to hard reboot.

What's wrong with the way it is? You can use the email app to sync any email account including yahoo or gmail.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Zwulf:
I was just wondering why some essential Google Apps (e.g. Maps) are removed while other non essential ones stay in - with Gmail + AOSP email there are 2 email apps, in AOSP email you can check multiple accounts including Gmail, means you can manage all your accounts in this one app and change settings for each account separately. Why then manage Gmail in a separate client?

There is no problem, I just don't get it. ;)

Was just browsing ROMs to try and saw it, wondered... If you find that makes sense everything's okay. :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mchockeyvette27:
I get what you're saying. But think about it this way, let's say the ROM was 400mb like it used to be and the servers are packed full and the download was only hitting about 70kb/s. I'd much rather have the 300mb ROM and go to the play store and download the removed apps which will take much less time. Why he chose the apps that he did, me no know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] LinearEquation:
Google maps are extremely heavy and do not need to be a system app for them to work. So allowing people to choose what they want to install makes a ROM dedicated to being light and fast even more attractive.

Yahoo has an independently working email app just like Google does here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail&hl=en

The email ability included in any Android ROM is for those that use an email that does not have an independently working app or just want to sync multiple email accounts to their tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Zwulf:
Sure, I was just surprised about the choice of which Gapps to be removed (as I tried to say). No offense or anything.

I also like small ROMs. Atm using a ROM (Dirty Unicorns 5.0; great one) without Gapps and flashed only core Gapps (just Play Store and Google settings).

I'll give this ROM a try even if it's image is large and has 2 email apps (removing Gmail with Titanium) ;D

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 2013 mit Tapatalk 4

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

That's why I think it makes sense to only use core Gapps... You could easily get Gmail from Play Store, if you want a small installation image. Btw. I don't use Yahoo app neither Gmail app. For both I use just AOSP (Gmail account only for Play Store stuff). But even if I did not have Yahoo but only Gmail I would just use AOSP, because 2 email apps with exactly the same GUI are just senseless imho.

Why not using AOSP email for Gmail (even If you own no other account)? It comes with every AOSP based ROM so why not use it but install another one that looks the same and has same functionality? That's what I asked. It's the same thing... is there anything that makes Gmail different or better? It's the same, but a few bytes for making multiple accounts possible, GUI is the same. So why have Gmail app included? If one wants to remove bloatware, why not start there? I don't see it.

Do you need OpenOffice if you have LibreOffice pre-installed with your PC already? Can you tell the difference?

Personally, I get attracted by light and fast ROMs and having a choice what I want to install. (said in your words... ;P )

Just feel happy about it. If you like it this way - excellent. I just asked. Btw. this question was intended to be answered by the developer.

Have a nice day.

The main reason I kept gmail in the ROM is I use gmail...if gmail wasn't in the ROM.. after install of gmail.. you'll have to go into account settings and turn on sync so just to avoid that I left gmail in the ROM because knowing me I'll forget to turn the sync on...anyhow...why is it such a big deal that it's in the ROM Lol?
