Much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] fdomi:
COming from KRT16O (your previous Synman ROM) should we do a full wipe or a dirty flash would do?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
a dirty flash may work... however you won't get a new kernel or baseband (assuming KOT49H is packaged with newer ones) and you'll have to re-install GAPPs.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] goodmanvn2003:
On my Nexus 7 (2013) LTE, it can't even boot and even when it finishes booting up there is either blank screen or elements being displayed incorrectly.

Plus, the boot animation is awkwardly slow.

Please let me know if you guys are in the same situation.

thanks for the rom

Edited: my bad, I didn't read thru and follow the instructions.

GSM Call

I've seen people in this thread succesfully call through, but have no sound. Will there be a possibility to hack through at all? Is it just hard or impossible? I hope it is not hardware based.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] fdomi:
I couldn't get the new KOT49H based ROM to work, I did every possible thing: factory reset, even compelete system and data wipe, going step bt step with ROm flashing, then Gapps and wiping cache and dalvik as usual, and every time I could boot, but under the process of completing the data input for google (the usual routine when you start a clean ROM) the screen would freeze or many apps would start crazily force closing or it would simple go to deep sleep and there was no way of getting the tablet back. except pressing the ON button for a long long time. I even thought my tablet was simply bad from the hardware perspective. So I installed another KOT49H based ROM from scratch and this time, to my relief, everything is running normal in the past 12 hours....

So I am afraid to say something is not quite OK , at least between my tablet and this particular ROM :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] goodmanvn2003:
Did anybody notice a bug in Google experience launcher?

Every time you reboot, the rightmost icon (at the bottom bar) on home page would disappear.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
Yeah... Happening to me too (disappearing icon)
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] goodmanvn2003:
that happened on nexus 5 too? Any hack or workaround?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
I'm using Craig's gapps... Have not tried PA with KOT49H yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] goodmanvn2003:
my strategy is that i use nexus root toolkit to revert to 4.4 stock, let android be upgraded to 4.4.2 and follow the steps for the build in the first post.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] fdomi:
But then, why don't I need to follow these steps to flash other 4.4.2 (KOT49H) ROMs?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
Every cook is different. There is probably something in my installer that isn't lining up perfectly with your process.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] goodmanvn2003:
why don't you try my strategy and see what happen? there seems sth wrong with driver.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] fdomi:
I am about to do follow your "strategy" , but still I am a person that likes to know and find out the whys of things, and the logic behind, I love this ROM and that's why I am insisting in asking this, because I like to understand why it is happening ONLY with this one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
Let me know what I broke and I'll fix it :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] goodmanvn2003:
yeah, me 2. i would love to know the logic behind and love the phone app & sms so much.

posted from synman's rom and thanks for this brilliant rom
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] r9800pro:
I did everything but landscape orientation causes a reboot 90% of the time so I flashed a clean 4.4.2 image and tried another mod that worked fine.

I wanted to test GSM calling even without audio but it seems it is not included
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
yeah, I'll likely have to release a fix at some point... in the meantime I'm locking landscape orientation... not sure yet what is causing the kernel panic.

No where --- absolutely no where --- in any of my documentation --- or claims -- do I state you can do GSM calling with this ROM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] r9800pro:
Yes I know. You've already said sound doesn't work with GSM calling but I thought the ability is there anyway which turned out to be not true.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] fdomi:
I also finally did a complete wipe of my tablet, literally, and flashed the stock google nexus 4.2.2 ROM, then rooted it and flashed your 4.4.2 ROM, everytime I closed the magnetic cover it caused the tablet to reboot.

I flashed another 4.2.2 ROM (CM 11) and it is working fine, except that in this case the magnetic case is not working at all (it doesn't screen off the tablet) but that I can live with. Looking forward to your -updated- ROM because I would like to stick to it when it is OK 100 % to flash, Thanks anyway for all your efforts Synman!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
Logcat guys... Otherwise there's very little hope of a fix

Google Owns You

Google WINS - Independent Developers LOSE

I hope all of you take stock and realize that Google has opened warfare on the independent developer community, by going to great lengths to purposely prevent this Phablet from being used as a Phablet. You can subscribe to a costly full fledge unlimited Phone account, place your totally legitimate bought and paid for Phone SIM Card inside this Phablet, but Google has SABOTAGED their own product to keep it from working as it was designed to work.

You paid for Phone service, so you are entitled to have it on any device of your choosing. You bought a GSM 3G enabled device, so you are entitled to access these networks in any way you see fit with your own device. Your device has the technology on board to make native voice phone calls, and so it should. This is the case for Tablets of any number of manufacturers, which even brought the market to call them Phablets. They were not necessarily designed to be used as phones, but since this feature was inside and available at no extra cost, other companies saw this as a feature which was part of the product and thus the property of the product's owner. NOT GOOGLE.

For Google we are their property, our property is their property. This is why Google says "Don't Be Evil".

It is proprietary behavior for GOOGLE STAFF ... they apparently hold a patent on Being Evil.

I have decided to BOYCOTT Google, as they have declared war on independent developers and consumers alike!

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] r9800pro:
Same here

I am selling my N7 LTE for an iPad Mini with Retina Display. At least Apple never said they are open for independent development plus I just can't deal woth Android anymore specially after iOS 7.x Jailbreak.

Suck it Google!

Remove PHone from PHablet + add DIS from DISabled = Google invents the DISablet !

Hi r9800pro ~

This does have today's best form factor for a full fledged Phablet. And Google could still make it right if they'd only "leak" to the community a fix so that we could undo the damage they did to the Nexus7 2013. A truly loyal Google staffer would help his company regain a following by doing so, secretly supporting their employer by undoing the wrongs of their misoriented hierarchy. Beyond lost market opportunities they made a bigger mistake: having everything you need to win and dropping the ball just before making the touchdown. That usually gets a guy thrown off the team - at Google does that win them a promotion? Maybe we got it wrong. Are they here to win market share, or is winning for them making us lose? After all, going to trouble to cause others trouble isn't exactly logical behavior for those who aren't evil.

Just like you, I am done with this xxPHxx...ablet and ready to buy myself a proper Phablet such as the Samsung Tab Pro 8.4. It doesn't have the great form factor of the slim case Nexus 7 2013 which one can slide into an inner suit chest pocket or into the rear pocket of slacks. Yes, it is still too large for comfort, but it will fit into men's clothing items, meaning hands free phoning with a bluetooth headset, if it works as a phone. That would have made it the ultimate single piece of portable hardware for the man on the move (I only neglect to include women because I know they usually carry a purse, opening up many more form factors for Phablets).

It took phone manufacturers some time to reach the largest single hand held phone with a large screen such as the LG G2 which includes a great camera and heavenly battery durability (note that I didn't include the Nexus 5 as Google made sure those two key features were removed). I only hope that another builder, one dedicated to serving the customer base of the Phablet market, will seize the opportunity and offer a 7 inch Phablet with the slim design of the Nexus 7 2013 with proper features and no built-in handicaps. They'd capture a share of the market which wouldn't be negligable and especially build a reputation among opinion leaders in the Phone and Phablet market which would enhance their Goodwill as capitalized in share value and brand image. But that's beyond Google's comprehension as they are carried by their search engine success which has apparently blinded them to making intelligent business choices.

My 32Gb Nexus 7 2013 LTE is going on the "unused" second hand market with regret, as aside from its subpar camera, it had all that could be hoped for in a perfectly sized Phablet, except the amputation of the PH and its replacement with a DIS, making Google famous for inventing the DISablet. Bravo Google for offering us a Handicap, as a bonus!

Remove PHone from PHablet + add DIS from DISabled = Google invents the DISablet !
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] r9800pro:
Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 seems like a good option but tbh I am done with anything Google related and in this case, it is Android OS itself. Google is a bad company in every way possible and I still feel mad because they removed ActiveSync from their services to force users to use their retarded IMAP push crap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] gigel2007:
is the limitation in hardware or in software?

After reading this thread it is still unclear to me if the ability to place and receive gsm calls is disabled in hardware or in software (nexus 7 2nd gen 2013 lte).

If any developer is interested in researching, I would be more than happy to setup remote access to a physical windows/linux pc connected with usb and wifi to the tablet or whatever else is needed (webcam focused on the tablet, etc :) for as long as it's needed until he can figure out where the limitation comes from.

I wish I did a bit of research before jumping to buy to this frustration-causing device... now it's impossible to return (bought it in us but I'm in europe...)
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] kidrobot52:
My only question who really wants to walk around with 7 inch phone? And have to use Bluetooth to make and receive calls. And how dumb does one look taking a picture holding a tablet.

I have 2 iPads and my wife and whole family use iPhones and let me tell you they have as much problems as we do. And ios7 is turning into a child's tablet not even my 6 year old sister like the new look she hasn't even updated her iPad. At no time did Google market this as a phone or say anything about using it as a phone they put it out as a tablet. And that's where they are making the money. Like Google really cares if some people can't use it as a phone. Is a 7 inch taller and does what it's suppose to. Get over your wrong choice of a device and let this thread go back to the developer pretty sure he doesn't want your crying about how bad something he put hours into doesn't work the way you want it to.

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] gigel20007:
hello, does anyone know the answer? is the limitation in the chip (hardware), or in the driver (software)?

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

Obviously is not easy to use a tablet as a PRIMARY phone (I wouldn't use it that way), but it is VERY useful to be able to:

1. tap phone numbers inside a web page and place a call

2. use USSD codes to query/change/top-up your prepaid account

3. dial 112 emergency calls

4. dial a regular call on speaker/bluetooth headset when you need both hands available to use the tablet (lookup information on internet/tablet useful for the dialling partner, etc)

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

Nobody wants to walk around, but many might want to use it at home or indoors (hotel room, etc)

Not necessarily: it has a speaker and a microphone.

It does indeed look awkward, but not evey person in the world can afford multiple devices. Some people might have just the tablet received as a gift. Are they dumb just because they only have a big device with a camera? Or are you the dumb because you're just USED TO a certain way to take pictures?

Orientation Crash

Got this ROM installed today. However I am experience the orientation crash from sleep.

Any fix for this?

Anyway I can help troubleshoot this issue?

EDIT:

Just wanted to add. The crash isn't so occasional for me. It happens every time I rotate after waking the tablet from sleep.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] aristofeles:
Thats me. Great device, had to choose between a smaller screen or this.

Right now I'm using it with skype for calls, but it's far from ideal (sometime skype does not ring on the tablet), so I have a dumb phone with me all the time.

How would I use a 7' phone? With a simple headphone with mic I can voice-dial and answer calls without ever taking the Nexus from my pocket. I used to do that for years with my Galaxy Tab 7 (p1000) that the nexus replaced.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] BunBun4000:
Here are the log files from my Nexus 7 with the orientation crashing. It happens everytime. From a fresh boot its fine to rotate but as soon as the device goes to sleep, any rotation after that will do a hot restart.

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
yeah, I've noticed this myself. I use this ROM primarily in my car pc and keep the orientation locked. When I revisit GwT it'll likely be a new build completely.... simply haven't had the free time to invest in it lately.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] curtdragon:
I use it the same way as well. Have you noticed an error: "Choose an app for the USB device. No apps can perform this action. Process %1$s is not responding" I am using Timur's Kernel so I am not sure if it is the ROM or the Kernel
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Synman:
interesting. do you have an OTG capable cable / device plugged in? I use OTG with my car tablet and an Adaptronic ECU without any issues. Device detection works fine.

Going to guess a combination of the ROM and kernel.
