[Nexus 7 Original Development] deltatux:
Hey guys,

I'm sure this probably have been answered but not sure where it is but I'll ask it anyways. For the original Nexus 7 (2012), does SlimROM have USB OTG support for mounting mass storage devices like USB keys and hard drives?

Cheers,

deltatux
[Nexus 7 Original Development] webdroidmt:
Yes, native USB OTG is supported.

Mike T
[Nexus 7 Original Development] deltatux:
So if I plug in a USB key, it will automatically mount? If so, is FAT32 the only file system supported or will NTFS, ext4 or exFAT will work too?

Cheers,

deltatux
[Nexus 7 Original Development] webdroidmt:
Yes, it will automatically mount. Keep in mind that some USB HD devices may require external power but most standard flash drives are fine. I have 8gb, 16gb and 32gb flash drives and they all work great.

As for different formats, I strictly use Fat32, so I don't know if the stock Slim kernel can support the other mentioned formats. You may need to use a custom kernel and/or a third party app like Stickmount, Paragon, or OTG helper.

If you have a spare USB flash drive, try any format besides Fat32 that you want to use and see if it works natively...nothing to lose but a little time. ;)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] deltatux:
Thanks for your insights, I will test when I get the chance to.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] dexter93:
the log seems fine..

Umm.. guess what! http://slimroms.net/index.php/news/422-announcement-1-3 :highfive::D

We have native USB OTG working with ext, FAT and NTFS filesystems support. You will need external power for HDDs and other power hungry devices.

We're going on RC3 this week guys! Apart from the changelog that you can see here , regarding the grouper:

New dithering mode, backgrounds should appear better

Fix for the navbar height. It should be default to 48dp now.

Downloads coming soon to the slimroms page
[Nexus 7 Original Development] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I just wanted to check and see that even though the title says RC3, when I click the link it still shows the weekly RC2 as the newest?

Thank you,

[Nexus 7 Original Development] leviatus:
[MENTION=2709464]dexter93[/MENTION] Yep, saw it on Google plus, didn't expect it to return so quickly. Glad it is back, now to test and see how it goes!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kenshiro79:
Nothing to do! I went into the app / all / Google play service / Clear Data. Rebooted and same problem as before.

I noticed that the Google Play Service version is 4.0.33 to 4.2.39 and now we can be what?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kondratk:
Same problem here!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kenshiro79:
Ok so what do I do?

It's a shame because there is a slim Galaxy S and Nexus 5 and now on tablet!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Well on my Nexus 5 everything is ok. Same on n7 and NS. How did you flash? Wiped cache, dalvick, data and system before flashing rom and gapps?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kenshiro79:
I flashed as usual:

Full wipe Format System

falsh Rom

falsh Gapps

Full wipe

reboot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
What full wipe after flash?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kenshiro79:
Habit, I do it with all your devices. After the flash I always do a wipe data / cache and Dalvik, but I is not never happened, until now of course. You say that I'm wrong this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Don't know if wrong but I'm doing: wipe cache, dalvick, data and system, Flash ROM and gapps. And boot in this order. Try it. When using TWRP I just check all those in advanced wipe.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kenshiro79:
Thanks to the return home, I'll try as he told me and let you know. Hello
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NetFluke:
Visual artifacts

Strange visual artifacts (seen on RC3 and previous weekly builds):

1. Small white horizontal line briefly appears on Slim boot logo during boot right before switching to lockscreen.

2. This one is annoying - when starting Solid Explorer with dark theme right half of the screen briefly becomes gray while left half remains dark. Artifact disappears when program fully loads.

Other than that - great and fast ROM!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizard83:
I have errors during app download too...how can we fix this?

I'm using RC3 on my galaxy s4 and everyhing works fine. I also tried to remove and readd my google account, but the problem is still here...

Well it's not rom problem.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizard83:
I think IT IS a rom problem. I was on stock rom today and everything was fine. This evening I unlocked bootloader, flashed root and recovery and than flashed slimkat + gapps. Now I can 't download apps from playstore. I have slimkat also on my galaxy s4 and, with the same account, playstore works just fine.

So probably is a nexus7 build problem.

Just a tip. Maybe next time investigate a bit more before posting multiple times that it was a problem with the ROM. It's not nice for the dev's and annoying for us users who are having no issues and know is not a problem with the ROM.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizard83:
Yes, you're totally right.

I wrote those posts because other 2 users, yesterday, was having my same issue, so I did not investigate a lot.

I know how annoying can be posts like mine, I am a moderator in a big Italian forum and usually I try and search a lot before posting or asking.

Sorry for this.

my nexus 7, one of the first releases, becomes really slow after some short time, opening apps, scrolling, but especially installing apps. this was on slimbean too, I thought trim should do the trick but it never really did anything to improve. is there some officially bug regarding speed with slimbean and still slimkat?

Just flashed Build 3.0 with MultiROM and after boot all that waits for me is a ton of FC message. No setup, no UI at all. What could be the problem?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p70shooter:
I dirty flashed with multirom and no problems at all. Did you do a full wipe?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Erovia:
Installed it as a secondary rom, so it was a clean install.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p70shooter:
Ah. Hopefully someone else who has done a clean install can confirm if it's working or not. Have you tried installing again? Or maybe redownload and flash again. Sorry ain't much help because it's working for me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Erovia:
Downloaded it twice, flashed it twice, the first time with GApps, the second time without it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p70shooter:
Ah ok. Need someone else to confirm whether it's working for them.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Just done a clean install without gaps as a secondary rom and all boots and runs fine. No fc and everything is working. Got to be a problem your end but don't ask me what.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Erovia:
I'm sure the rom is fine, but that's exactly what I did, twice. That's why I have no idea what could be the problem. :S

Edit: Okaaay, I flashed it for the third times and it worked. I did the exact same thing and now it works. *miracle* :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] p70shooter:
Yay. Good news, enjoy :)

Wow... 600MB free ram
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Erovia:
Huge respect to the SlimTeam!

This rom is best 4.4 rom so far! Fast, stable and the first one (afaik) with PIE.

The only feature I miss is Halo, too bad I can't find any sign of it in Gerrit.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] friedsonjm:
CPU Speed?

This ROM allows speeds up to 1500, and I can set it using TricksterMod, but it does not stay 'set,' and after a while, goes back to 1300. I don't see a way to set it from within the ROM. Without changing to another kernel, how do I get the speed to stay at 1500?

jf
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtygoldfish:
Have you tried using Trickster Mod's frequency lock function?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
The powerhal is resetting it automatically to stock freqs

This is part of project butter boost/unboost feature, it's unboosting to 1300

To fix this, you can go to leankernel thread on rootzwiki and download the 1.5ghz powerhal

This will replace powerhal with one that sets to 1.5, not the Kernel unless you download it :P

Should work

I was baffled for months on this :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xustfosorcim:
I seem to have found a strange issue with the sound. When attempting to put the volume all the way down so it mutes everything except alarms, it doesn't seem to want to mute. Some apps are still very loud (like Facebook Messenger). After a few reboots and a few more attempts, it has muted when I lower the volume all the way and hit volume down again. Kind of inconsistent here. What could possibly be going on?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NetFluke:
Bluetooth is broken

It looks like Bluetooth is broken - cannot pair with any device. Please do not use CM11 bluetooth code due to the bug found today

Last known working BT code was in CM11 from 01/20

Sorry.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xustfosorcim:
I think I should add that the notification volume does seem to lower, but notifications go through, still?

I should also note that this isn't relating to bluetooth.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Maybe notification volume got disconnected from ringtone volume. Go to settings, sound, volume untick the box "Link ringtone & notification volumes", slide the sliders to equal level and tick the box back. It always works for me. I was really annoyed with loud notification sounds despite muting the volume earlier on until somebody pointed me to check it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Yes, yes but there's no such option on tablets :p unless it's with sim card ver.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Sorry. I forgot it's different on N7 than on N5.

It means I need to give more attention to my wife's N7 ;)

If only she allows me to...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Give more attention to her not her tablet ;) or she will be spitting with venom on U like mine does :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Hehehe, tell me something I don't know :D

All I hear from her is "Every time I see you, you are staring at your phone. Maybe you would talk with me instead, or play with our daughter? And stop touching my phone!" (Which technically is my old GNex :) )

I have been dormant on keeping up with N7 development lately, being satisfied with my 4.2 AOKP, but I'm checking out the latest and greatest and am always a Slim ROMs fan.

I just have one question to do with aesthetics - does this come natively, or at least have the ability to look like pre-KitKat?

By that, I mean that I simply cannot stand the white system and status text that came with 4.4. I was in heaven with Dark UI + Holo Blue system/status text, overscroll glow, etc.

TY!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k4bbe:
No native theme support at the moment. The real darkness is still a winner though. The white UI grows on you after a while....to the point where I have a similar themed UI on my phone now! Lol :)

I was personally not a fan of holo blue.... Enough already with that colour scheme.

You can use an xposed module (Xblast etc) to theme it any which way you want really though. So in short = no, yes

I've been searching, but not successfully.. I have multiple profiles set up as we share a Nexus 7 for home use. I read some Android documentation which states that isolated storage must be presented to each profile as /sdcard. Which is great and all, but how do I also leverage unisolated storage?

I would like to be able to load some videos that all profiles on the device can access.. is this possible somehow?

Simple question: I can't seem to find an option to put the navigation bar buttons to the right side of the screen when in landscape mode. Is that correct?

There should be an option for that but it doesn't work properly on tablets. Navbar becomes blank. Use slimpie.

Slimpie doesn't work as easy as a button that's always there.

I'll see if I can find an app.

DPI

I am running the latest version of Slimkat, Slim-grouper-4.4.2.build.3-OFFICIAL-3074.

According to the FAQ the DPI can be adjusted under Settings/Interface. I only see option for Battery, Notification, and Status Bar.

Did the DPI adjustment get moved?

EDIT: It looks like I need to use Texdroider DPI
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
No there's no such option under settings ATM. U can change it by editing build.prop with build.prop editor for example. Grand root permissions to it and edit line with density. Reboot and you're good to go.

How do I enable the new slim recents app? I flashed new update and my recents still look the same.

Lol I did 100% flash the newest. The reminders work in the notifications. But no new app switcher. I loose the game I guess....

Edit:

Marijuana is a hell of a drug. I flashed 3.2.....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ronedogg:
Anyone know if there is a way to trigger the new recents by swiping from the side of the screen? Seems to me that it would seem logical to do so.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Maybe if you assign it to slimpie it would be close to your request. It has no trigger options ATM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
If you are using LMT you could assign new recents to ISAS gesture: swipe from right (top, centre, bottom). That's as close as you can get now.

Bare in mind that it may conflict with some apps using swipe from side gesture to slide a panel on screen, like Dolphin browser.

Edit:

I've just checked and it works smooth on my Nexus 5, buy personally I don't think I'll be using it this way.

I'm not sure if this is ROM or kernel specific, but I'll just post this here.

My tab's acting like it's in fast charge mode but the fast charge toggle option can't be seen in trickstermod.

I tried different laptop and datacable combo but doesn't work. tab charges when connected to laptop but isn't detected as device in laptop and the usb connection isn't detected in tab. also, it doesn't detect OTG-storage devices which btw is perfecting working in galaxy nexus. (and I know OTG cable works with this tab if everything is fine).

So, any insights? maybe I gotta try different kernel? (Update: 3 different kernels, no change. Fast charge toggle app say my kernel doesn't allow it)

Also, last time I tried to boot to recovery, I found that my recovery had been completely removed and I had to flash new one. I'm not sure if it's related or not!

I'm in slimkat 3.4, clean wipe with system format

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dionysus2389:
Atm i've no lags. The rom is smooth and really fast, but unfortunately there isn't a way to choose the default governor and scheduler, so I'm pretty sure that ondemand is running (that means full power cores every time a process has to be done).

Actually it's interactive with cfq schedule:))
[Nexus 7 Original Development] d0ge01:
Interactive is more smooth than ondemand by design

Ondemand use less battery than interactive but anyway, interactive is the best atm for our nexus
