Actually check the thread , the dev does claim to have a test version that is supposed to work on deodexed kk stock rom , the very same dev did bring out a working tablet ui patch for 4.3 so it is plausible that it may work.

I had a strange one this am. I updated Google Search from the Play Store, which now includes GEL, renamed to "Google Now Launcher". On first reboot, I was presented with this screen.

I decided to restore a nandroid from a couple of days ago and that booted fine. I then went to Home in Settings and switched to the aosp launcher, then updated Google Search, rebooted, back to settings, switched to what was now called the "Google Now Launcher" and rebooted again. This time, no error message and everything seems to be working fine, with the exception of the bottom right dock icon. The behavior of that has now changed somewhat. It seems as if the launcher insists on putting something in that position. If you leave it empty and reboot, it will fill it in with something else. I just rebooted a few times until something useful appeared and now I'm leaving it alone. It sticks on reboot.

As far as the Search update, I'm waiting to test it on my wife's n7, but for some reason, it isn't showing the update as available yet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] redeyedjedi:
No.......unfortunately the frameworks are gone.....it is an undebatable no...........
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Weird! I got the update and didn't see that...

Which version of the ROM were you running, was it ODEX or DEODEX and are you running GravityBox or any other Xposed modules?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adrman:
The latest Odex, no GB or Exposed. I'll let you know how my wife's n7 behaves, as it was set up the same way.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

I just checked my wife's N7. I realized that she's on auto update and received the update yesterday, so obviously there were no problems. Otherwise, I would have heard about it. The only difference I see is when I check the choices in Settings/Home, on her tablet the new launcher is listed the same as always, "Launcher", where on mine it specifically says "Google Now Launcher". These are in addition to the aosp launcher. The only difference in our systems is that I use Franco kernel and her 1.3 update was flashed via adb sideload from cwm. I used adb sideload from Philz with the same download. Oh well, all seems to be working well now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
[MENTION=4745442]adrman[/MENTION] - yup mine's on autoupdate too and I didn't see the issue. My wife's the same way about her technology - always a disclaimer whenever I mod something that if it breaks it is MY fault :P

All of a sudden every time I turn my N7 to landscape I get this ugly bar down the right had side that weren't there before anyone know what's is causing it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Google has updated some GApps (namely Google Search) lately which seems to fix the 6 column desktop grid issue. Maybe turn off any GravityBox customizations?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Domino5:
I prefer stock rom because i can customize and modify it myself and i hate mixed language in custom roms (most of them are without polish translation) unfortunately custom roms are compiled with toolchains eg. Linaro and they are much more smooth than stock. Is it possible to You to make BSZKitKat v1.4 with linaro optimizations?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] weirdsciencex:
Got a really strange problem with this.

Flashed 1.3 Odex version using TWRP 2.6.3.1 which completes fine.

Upon pressing reboot I get a warning about no OS being installed, I tried installing again and had the same warning.

I did a quick install of omni, downloaded ROM again and flashed to be faced with the same issue. Out of curiosity I told it to reboot anyway but it just hangs at the Google logo.

I've never experienced this before.

Edit: how unusable is xda without an ad blocker!!!!?!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
XDA is SHAMEFULLY cluttered without adblock!!!!

Couple suggestions

1. I would swear 2.6.3.1 is buggy - I used it and saw a similar issue! Try going back to 2.6.3.0...

2. Be sure to check the MD5 sum - TWRP will do this for you if you copy a .md5 file out next to the ROM on your device - see this post for the md5 files - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49875913&postcount=289

3. Wipe both caches
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
I followed a guide in the summer of 2012 to build on Linux with some version of the Linaro toolchain (strict aliasing all that) but haven't done since. If that "build box" side of my Windows system (I installed Linux Mint alongside Windows) is still there maybe I can still build...

CONCUR with not removing languages and localizations!!! I mean that's OK to do for a ROM for a phone that is only used in the US and Canada for example, but the Nexus 7 is GLOBAL. Americans can be so ignorant :rolleyes: (yes I live in Colorado)...

I think there are some caveats when building from AOSP:

1. It is not true "stock" but I would never delete languages and language specific keyboards and stuff... (that's why we root! You wanna clean some of that stuff be my guest)

2. It comes with the AOSP browser so if you prefer Chrome you need root to remove AOSP Browser and then you install Chrome from play store...

3. Probably some other inconsistencies...

Does anyone know of a strict aliasing optimized ROM that is close to stock? I don't wanna duplicate work! If not I may look into it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] weirdsciencex:
One thing I noticed when checking the mount points is that system wasn't selected, I'm not sure if it is by default.

So I selected it and tried again. This time upon rebooting it warned about no root but still hung on the Google logo.

I then out of curiosity hooked up a USB drive and pulled a few ROMs across and then successfully flashed cyanfox, cm11, pa4 and finally shinyrom. All booted.

For the life of me I can't figure out why this happened. I was starting to think that there must be some problem with the updater script and system not being mounted correctly but then nobody else has reported this issue.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Odd for sure - maybe a bad download? I have had a few users get a bad download... They try the other mirror and then it boots.

It is normal for system to not be mounted when first booting into TWRP...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dcipher:
I've noticed that the nav bar disappears once in awhile and I need to swipe down from the top of the screen to make it show up again. Does this happen to anyone else?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Well "immersive mode" is new to some of the google apps - think of it as "expanded desktop" mode under JB... So like Newsstand and Books have this now for example. It is new to 4.4 KitKat.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Domino5:
Can you update to KVT49L (4.4.2 r2)? It would be great if you'll also optimize with linaro :o
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Yes I could but it would not be official "stock" since KVT49L is only released as a factory image for the mobile version of the 2013 Nexus 7 (see https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi)...

This ROM is different from others as I haven't compiled a thing... It is simply the boot and system partitions from the factory image rooted with busybox :)

I did compile off AOSP with an older toolchain the summer of 2012 when the device came out for fun on a Linux Mint partition of my Core i7 system with 8GB RAM (flies still to this day!) but I suspect others are more proficient at this. To get KVT49L presently on the 2012 Nexus 7 I would need to compile from AOSP source so it would not be officially "stock"... Still I might try on Sunday for fun and post it if I like it!

As always if a new factory image or OTA releases I will make a rooted flashable stock ROM! Speaking of which I have OTA disabled I best see if this came out OTA!!!

EDIT: No OTA or factory image for KVT49L :'(

nexus 7 wifi

tying to flash i get error when flashing (status 7)

i downloaded twice. i thought i may have downloaded wrong.

the two times i try to flash i did a clean wipe .

im on bootable 4.23

plus it the Deodex version im trying to flash

clockworkmod 6.0.4.7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Use TWRP 2.6.3.0 (I think 2.6.3.1 is buggy)...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Lw00d:
ok. so this only works with TWRP. i will pass. i don't like TWRP its too buggy.

Hi iv been using this Rom since it was first released with and then changed to the ODEX 1.3 version when that was posted flashed m-kernel and my N7 is just sweet:good: Just wanted to know if we are still getting ART or is it not likely on our 2012 N7?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Cool! I was just getting bummed out because I haven't updated this in what seems like FOREVER... I will do some digging again last I checked someone had found a way to grab bits from the 2013 nexus 7 factory image to allow ART but that was months ago...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
Would be great if you could achieve this, I have ART working on my HTC Onex on AOSB ROM with no issues, don't know what it takes to get it working on our N7, however I'm not in any rush for it as they say if it ant broke don't try to fix it, this ROM for me is rock solid as it is.

Also I find the volume on speakers is low anyway to get sound a little louder.

PS, "bummed out" Ummmmm!! that don't sound to good mate?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
I was really enjoying the thrill of adding GEL and doing stuff when the first KitKat image dropped for our device :) Hoping for 4.4.3 soon!

At any rate - our device evidently doesn't have sufficient space on the /system partition for the ART binary files :( CM11 has you flash GApps separately and I read that means they were able to free sufficient space there to allow for ART. I have yet to see a true "stock" ROM that requires flashing GApps bit I can do some more investigating.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Some of you are talking about auto update feature. Is this baked into the ROM or do you mean on stock? Also, been away for a while so could someone explain ART?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
ART- https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/art.html
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Thanks [MENTION=1747182]twics[/MENTION] for response!

[MENTION=1328046]Pitbull_Raven[/MENTION] - as I recall the auto update stuff was regarding OTA notifications coming in when my ROM was 4.4.1 based and Google released 4.4.2. If you were to accept the ota you'd lose root as well as custom recovery so I added something to prevent future ota notifications called FOTAKill (borrowed I think from cyanogenmod).

As for ART read link above but in short it is an "experimental" runtime and an alternative to the current dalvik runtime Android uses. From what I read it is a just in time compiler like dalvik but optimized (binary JIT compiled code is pregenerated or something) so it utilizes about half the CPU that dalvik does. I'm using it on my HTC rezound and it is saving me tons on battery and most importantly heat.

Unfortunately our device lacks the required overhead space on the /system partition for the extra binaries... CM11 and other custom Roms are needed to try ART on this device presently. I am hopeful 4.4.3 will address but was looking into a way we could enable this on stock 4.4.2.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] jazzespresso:
Thank you bshiznit...I know my question was bit confusing..all I wanted to make sure is having flashable pure stock 4.4.2 rooted, odexed full ROM :)

as you know, there are bunch of stock ROMs in Nexus 7 threads, but it is a bit confusing to me....I need this so that when I try other ROMs, I like to able to flash it back stock and not worry about re-rooting nor odexing them!

again thanks!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
No worries! This ROM is not compiled from aosp or anything (I just built one though I may share over in original development its pure aosp I was just experimenting). For this I unpacked the system.IMG from Google's factory image and used the kitchen from [MENTION=673068]dsixda[/MENTION] to make a flashable zip; in the process adding SuperSU for root and busybox for apps like trickstermod. Enjoy!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
[MENTION=2943498]edisso10018[/MENTION] So far I've only gotten /data to f2fs using LegoKernel by [MENTION=2743057]legolas93[/MENTION] which is not yet an all-f2fs kernel (/data partition only). I did notice a nice boost in quadrant. I think the f2fs filesystem allocates space such that the files destined for the /system partition from the factory image are too large to fit once formatted to f2fs (I get bootloop). Still investigating. I may make a pure aosp ROM so we can get f2fs on all partitions and ART. NOTE gapps then will not be baked in. I am experimenting now and have set up a core i7 build system with 6gb RAM ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Yep, that's what I got to work also. Could removing some system apps from install file help? There's no need to have Books or Hangouts as system apps... But a pure AOSP would be even better IMHO...

ATM I use CM11M5 with M-kernel and All-F2FS and the difference in speed and responsiveness is really big. My grouper has never been so fast... But for some reasons I would prefer Stock/AOSP with xposed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Some would say CM "sold out" I won't comment on that but will say I don't like the direction it has gone in.

The aosp build I am testing is with GCC 4.7 no special toolchain (yet). I agree that stock with xposed and gravitybox is my favorite setup. I want to see how pure aosp stacks up... Will keep you all posted here in this thread.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
Anyone having problems with auto rotation? Since yesterday my screen keeps getting stuck upsidedown, I hold N7 up the right way but it just won't rotate the right way up also it gets stuck in landscape too or in portrait, it pretty annoying.?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Hmmm working fine here. Have anything funky set in gravitybox?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Aosp art f2fs

Well this is a huge quadrant score (6967) for my device. Built from aosp, LegoKernel fsync off f2fs on /data only and GPU 2d rendering. Thing is smooth interactive governor no O/C!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
No I'm not using gravitybox , but it seems to have sorted itself out, I wiped cache and dalvik cache from recovery and rebooted.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Hey just built something just like this off pure AOSP 4.4.2_r2 (KVT49L) using SaberMod 4.8 toolchain! Going to try to get F2FS support added then share it but let me know if you would like to test drive it and verify the languages, etc. are present... So far it is REALLY smooth. Also - ART works!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Domino5:
Yes i can test it but not with F2FS because i'm still on ext4 and my laptop is burned (overheated on playing skyrim) and it don't work anymore so i'm unable to copy all my data and reformat partitions to F2FS
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I can test it with f2fs...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] twics:
What is f2fs? sorry if dumb question but I don't know this.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
Flash friendly filesystem :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bshiznit:
OK disclaimer... This doesn't have gapps root or busybox but I will link to supersu and gapps :)

ART can be enabled in developer options but per Google is experimental. This is aosp based with some patches for strict aliasing and ART. Rom and kernel compiled with 4.8.3 sabermod toolchain (thanks [MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION])

My kernel will not yet mount f2fs for any partition but that's in the works (f2fs patch applied fstab.grouper requires a mod still). Kernel also compiled using sabermod and /proc/filesystems lists f2fs but f2fs is untested... I did patch it in it SHOULD work /data only for now.

Xposed with gravitybox work perfectly. Note Xposed is currently NOT ART compatible....

This is just for test if you all prefer it or see advantages over my current pure stock ROM I'll post in a new thread:

Flash these in order:

ROM - https://mega.co.nz/#!ONkk2CKR!d5aHWROCEXRx36JVTRD-Iw82ZKjpNnBo90Og3KaCgVU

Gapps (thanks paranoid android) - https://mega.co.nz/#!jct1yJzZ!jGhJNj7vktHow7U7L3Y3a1Zt6FX4hkGBGAMcDvvTxAQ

EDIT - the PA Gapps won't work with ART it will just reboot you and keep you on dalvik... Use these if testing ART:

http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2

Use Standard or Minimal add the others if you need FaceUnlock or GenieWidget...

Hey everyone. Just bought a nexus 7 off a buddy of mine. It's rooted and is running slimkat 4.4 Bootloader is unlocked. Just wondering if I can bounce back to 4.3 without any problems. I know with my s4 it is a problem. Thanks guys.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ashiqsultan:
All you need to do is download "wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit" download and install it

After the toolkit is installed open it click on the "Full driver installation guide" button in the toolkit UI and install the drivers accordingly or else your device will not be recognized by the toolkit :thumbdown:

The UI in wugfresh nexus root toolkit is very easy there will be a button called "Flash stock +Unroot" click on it and it will begin to download the proper ROM for you since you are in 4.4 it may download a stock 4.4 so stop the download in the middle then it will tell you to download manually telling you the link so go to that link

The link which it will guide you is the "Google's factory images for nexus" link , get in that link and download the ROM of your device correctly ! ! !

Then return to toolkit click browse and select the file you downloaded manually and continue flashing :thumbup::cool:

Source- Experience

If I helped you hit the thanks button :thumbup:;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] primo523:
Thanks for the help.. my friend has a few 4.3 backups that I would like to install to check out. My main concern was going back to 4.3 once I was on 4 4. I know with my s4 you can't. The bootloader on the nexus is unlocked. Thanks again.
