Try the USB drivers attached to this post? (from Android SDK) I'll try a clean flash and then different PC. I'm using Oxydo v13 kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2373410
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
just tried that kernel mate and its still the same but what do i do with that usb driver?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Scratch the driver idea - I'm thinking flash PA Gapps and reboot then see if MTP works - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=7988 file I used is pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131118-signed.zip

My bet is I missed a symbolic link or something else is required that the PA Gapps fix :good:

Also if you'd like to try updating USB driver route here is a guide http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
i just updated all the stuff in the sdk and still no dice so im downloading this now mate
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Cool - just reflashed (this time from CWM) without GApps my MTP works OK - anyone else seeing this? Caveats:

Must disable USB Debugging (will make this default in next build)

My "charging" USB port is wonky (sometimes MTP mounts sometimes not)

USB Debugging prevents MTP from mounting, and MTP prevents USB Debugging - 4.4 bug?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
still no good here mate ill have to wait to see anyone has this problem or if its just me lol, but this rom is great mate really somooth

For this device I feel like most recommend TWRP - CWM will prompt after flashing to disable install-recovery.sh but this is essential for root so just say NO

Can't seem to get Google Now working with any 4.4 ROM! I like Google Now a lot. There is neither any option right now to activate it, nor Google search prompts to activate it. When I try to request any Google now feat like reminder,it tells me to opt-in Google Now.but clicking that gets me back to the search bar,nothing else! Can't seem to find anything about it's fix,if anyone care to share your opinion or a fix, thanks in advance.

BTW the ROM is good,very good actually. CM11 doesn't have a working camera!at least mine wasnt working.but camera is fine here,except Google now which is missing out on both rom.

im on cm 11 nightly on my grouper nexus 7 2012 and it is SO SLOW!

will this fix it? idk why its so slow all of a sudden but all CM roms are sluggish. i just want clean stock rooted rom. is this what im looking for?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Give it a shot! I just took Google's factory image and converted it to a flashable zip... Adding busybox and root.

One suggestion - the flash memory in this device gets ANGRY when the userdata partition fills... I would say around 3-4 GB is the threshold at which point major lag and slowdowns.

Back up important items on your internal storage and use titanium to backup your user apps and data (use TB web server then to copy your backups to your PC) - then wipe data and internal storage and both caches then flash this ROM.

More ideas - M-Kernel a67 - comes with dynamic fsync which improves storage performance. Also F2FS is cool but the stock kernel doesn't support it but could load legokernel and then use special TWRP to flash data to f2fs (data loss!)...

I started with my tilapia with stock and rooted with SuperSU-1.99r3 and M-kernel_a67.

Although my Nexus 7 in Device Manager had an exclamation mark in Windows 8.1, I just rebooted into bootloader manually (volume down + power buttons) and went ahead using fastboot commands to erase boot.img and system.img and flashing the new boot.img and system.img.

Next, I booted to recovery, flashed M-kernel_a67 and SuperSU-v1.99r3.

Now on "Android is upgrading ...."

Success!

4.4.3 and KTU84L. Unfortunately, I had FC for Google Search. Nonetheless, I went to Play store and saw many Google apps being upgraded. I think everything should be fine after that.

I'll hang on to this for now and wait for your zip.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jazzespresso:
By the way, about this: "DEODEX takes longer to boot than ODEX"

this is not entirely true -

With deodexed ROMs, only the first ever boot after clearing Dalvik cache is slower, and all subsequent ones will be the same as any odexed ROM.

This is owing to the fact that during the first boot, all cache information is written to the virtual machine anyway, and hence,

it will behave as any other firmware (until you clear the Dalvik cache once again).

so when you first time install deodexed ROM, and clear dalvik cache first time, it will boot longer, but your next boot time will be as identical as with odexed one unless of course if you somehow clear dalvik caches for some reason.

Another thing that after Google intruduce ART (obviously, they did not bother to inlcude it on Nexus 7 2013), so having odexed or deodexed boot time almost unnoticable if you are using ART.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Ah right! I should clarify that about FIRST boot after wiping dalvik - thanks

Yeah shame about ART - there is only 8 MB overhead on /storage partition with this latest factory image - not enough for the precompiled binaries required by ART!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shinesthru:
Sorry for contributing to the OT, but you should check out F2FS. Converting to that file system has improved the speed of my Grouper significantly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gsmyth:
Thanks for this [MENTION=2687658]bshiznit[/MENTION], flashing over stock rooted 4.4.2 with a cache and dalivk wipe and its running great. So far so good, all running smooth without any problems, they seemed to have fixed the rotation change (when in landscape it used to change back to portrait and back again, pausing the video) which used to happen about 30 seconds to 1 min into watching a video (youtube, internal player, 3rd party players, etc).

Been thinking of checking this F2FS as I've seen everyone say how good it is. It won't work with stock rooted right? Only on custom ROMs like CM11, etc?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] robgee789:
just flashed this and it seems as good as always mate
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
It does work with stock 4.4.2, with data only F2FS, but not All-F2FS.. you have to flash Lego Kernel for the modified ramdisk image. Then you can flash Faux or Franco over that.

I haven't tested it with 4.4.3 and nobody else has confirmed either if it works. I'd rather not have to use a 4.4.2 kernel on 4.4.3 though, so I haven't updated my Grouper.

I personally recommend data only F2FS anyway rather than All-F2FS, because compatibility is a lot less of an issue and the performance boost is huge.

Anyone know if 4.4.3 works with F2FS yet?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gsmyth:
Thanks for your reply, I'll bare that in mind. I suppose I'll hold out to see if anyone updates it to work with 4.4.3, so far 4.4.3 is running pretty well for me, but this definitely seems like a worthwhile mod to improve the overall speed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
I had that same rotation problem too thought it was only me I did mention it here but I was on my own with that.

I'm very much interested in F2FS but don't know much about it and my N7 is running so nice I just thought I couldn't get it any better, we're can I find more info on this please.

Hey guys if you want z simple fix for the advanced power menu just install with xposed framework and it works fine
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ffejy462:
Just wanted to say thanks. Been wanting to go back to stock for a while. I wouldn't recommend the bootloader link in op. The flashible bootloader zip does not work (and boot times afterwards are horrible). Anyway, after first (clean) flash I received a message that root was lost while in twrp. Flashed SuperSU and rebooted. Stuck at Google screen. Rebooted into recovery again. Wiped again. Flashed again. No root lost message. Rebooted and success! Just thought I'd share. Everything looks good so far (battery is being drained fast though). Charging seems slow... I'll give it a couple days to settle in. Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Yikes! What ROM and boot loader were you coming from?

I noticed the 4.4.3 came with the 4.23 bootloader but file size was smaller. I will experiment.

Also - most welcome
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ffejy462:
I was coming from cm 11 nightlies with 4.13 bootloader. After flashing the bootloader in the link from op, I did some research. (yeah yeah, to late I know) Apparently Google miffed it a couple times with the bootloader. They packaged a bad bootloader more than once with an ota. So, now there are multiple sources and downloads all over with the bad bootloader. I'll find the link with the good 4.23 and update this post.

The bad bootloader explained :

http://d-h.st/QFd
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gsmyth:
So if you already had a 4.23 bootloader from 4.4.2 you're ok (I think this is what I have since 4.4.2 update)? I updated using bshiznit's 4.4.3 ROM and everything is fine. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
I have done the same I had mine since 4.4.2 dowlaoded from the OP when we were on ROM version 1.2.2 I think it was, I also downloaded the above good 4.23 link and according to file size its exactly the same size and name so I'll assume its the same as I also have no problems with charging or the ROM itself.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ffejy462:
I was on cyanagenmod 11 (4.4.2), but still had the older 4.13 bootloader. Per op notes, 4.23 is needed. So I followed link in op to obtain the 4.23 bootloader. However the bootloader in that link wasn't good or maybe it just didn't flash properly (there are numerous replies in that thread with same issue). So that led me to discover that is a common problem (read first link) and I found a good 4.23 bootloader (second link). So now I have the proper bootloader and successfully flashed this rom (which is running better than any build of cm ever did).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gsmyth:
Thanks, a bit off topic, but were you not satisfied with CM11? I have been contemplating flashing it, preferably with an F2FS implentation, which seems to give a good performance increase. Although I'm more than happy on bshiznits ROM at the moment.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ffejy462:
Really it just boiled down to cm really doesn't offer anything that stock + xposed can't do. After a while of running nightlies (I know I could've used the "stable" builds), the occasional incompatibilities with some kernels, xposed modules, and bad builds, I just wanted to go back to stock. Oddly (to me at least), I was surprised how smooth and fast stock was. It sure wasn't that way brand new! And color reproduction! I had no idea, and I'm not sure why, but all the colors seem deep and vibrant compared to cm. Maybe it's just a placebo...

If no one has said it yet, I just flashed from TWRP 2.6.3.1 and had no issues. OP had only tested on 2.7.0.0. Just tossing it out there for anyone who was afraid to be the guinea pig.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ffejy462:
Why not just update to 2.7.0.0? (2.7.1.0 is out too)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ariesgodofwar:
Because I wanted to see if it would flash without issue on the older version of TWRP :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] warriorforgod:
I installed this and now it seems that using anything that uses the wife is incredibly slow. Is this because I flashed with cwm and not twrp?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Hmm one other user reported a similar issue... WiFi is OK for me. What recovery you used should have no bearing. Are you running a different kernel at all?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ariesgodofwar:
I just flashed both of my tablets yesterday, and then flashed Franco's Kernel (r79) over them, but I can say that my wifi has been rock solid. Even before I flashed the kernel. The authorization failures and drops seem to have been reduced greatly.

The only issue I saw, and perhaps because I dirty flashed coming from 4.4.2 stock, but for TTS and Google Keyboard, I had to uninstall and then reinstall in order to stop them from FC'ing. Might be because I flashed from TWRP 2.6.3.1, but it was an easy enough fix. Much love to the OP.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] warriorforgod:
Running the kernel that kami with the rom. The tablet seems somewhat slow overall. Maybe it is just showing it's age.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Understood. Simple things to speed you up...

1. Try m-kernel a67 (see post 2)

2. Be sure you have 3-4 GB internal storage free
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Thanks good feedback! Me and my daughter run this ROM too (she's spoiled with 32 GB model).

In my experience things settle in once Google Play services gets updated to satisfy all the other gapps and you've rebooted but I'm glad you got it sorted.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
This is as close to Google stock you'll get in a flashable zip ? I've taken the factory image and converted it to a zip using [MENTION=673068]dsixda[/MENTION]'s kitchen... Adding SuperSU and busybox which only improves things

Do I need to flash stock kernel if I am coming from Cm11?

Edit- Twrp 2.7.0 recovery
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Nope it comes with stock kernel and will flash it as part of the install - my bet is a bad download. Be sure to check MD5 you may wish to try the other mirror.

Google Camera

Google Camera doesn't seem to work? or available or is it just me?

It doesn't show up in my apps and it isn't available for grouper on Google Play.

For me, to get a working camera I've ripped Google Camera off my phone if anyone wants it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0cLHYJ9TPcvWi00bGp4TndhY1k/

First, go to settings > apps and find camera, tap and clear data, force stop too.

Then, delete system/app/GoogleCamera.apk (use a app like Root Explorer or any other app that gives you R/W access to system)

and install the apk as posted above like a normal app (stored in data/app)

once it is installed the OPEN dialogue after install should be highlighted, if it isn't then you haven't cleared the data. repeat the first and last step.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Najuto9tail:
I downloaded at mega. And .zip does seem corupt

Will try again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Thanks for adding those tips :) Stock actually hides the camera app... I think there is also an App on playstore called "Nexus 7 Camera" that restores it.

Great job & thank you. V15 was running fine with Xposed & Gravity Box and of course, V16 is the same for my N7 - both getting very good battery life.

I "cheated" by doing the shortcut - only wiped dalvik and cache (twice) before flashing the ZIP file (didn't uninstall Xposed/Gravity box either) and it was up & running 10 minutes later (Deodexed) - then, reinstall Xposed & Gravity, all the settings kept. No issues thus far - so the 2012 Nexus 7 running the newest/latest pure Android. What more needed to be said. (And, with mine being a 32GB model, plenty of internal storage space for ripped MP4's - woohoo !!!)

hi guys.

i would like to flash this but am currently on stock + rooted 4.0 with bootloader 3.41.

i have looked how to update the bootloader but get lost when comes to anything other than flashing a zip file such as when it says go into ADB etc.

i downloaded the flashable zip but it stayed on the older bootloader.

any tips guys or is it safe to just flash this rom even with that old bootloader?

thanks

Flash this http://d-h.st/QFd bootloader. Use adb or flashify app will work fine. Reboot back into bootloader to confirm, then boot to recovery to wipe and flash rom per op instructions.
