Can someone please help me out here?

See the attached pic to see what I'm running. I want to upgrade to this ROM, but is there anything I need to do first before I can? I have TWRP installed on it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Waiting for ext4 version. Looking forward to dark UI (hopefully similar to Ostipop on my N5). Although I might try the f2fs if have a bunch of free time.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Reiven89:
Thanks for the f2fs version....its working perfectly and its damn fast ... f2fs its a must for this tablet

Fixing the camera issue would be awesome...finger crossed
[Nexus 7 Android Development] käsebr0t:
You have the Nexus 7 2013, but this forum is completely dedicated to the Nexus 7 2012.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah, first thing to do would be to go to your devices SlimLP thread and ask the same question there. This is the Grouper forums... Good luck...

Thank you for pointing that out...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Prof Peach:
Installed the latest unofficial release and so far its smooth and fast.

I was considering going back to KK.

I was still having times where lag was bad.

Figured I'd try the latest for a while so hopefully the lags gone.

Thanks again to Freak and Skporn (I know that's spelled wrong but that's what I see when I read your posts)

I also wanted to add.... the settings theme is way better than stock.

If you can work the same magic on the app drawer I think you'd be everyones best friend.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aoh1996:
Installed this build and now something's wrong with battery. Discharging while charging [emoji53]
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
I think that is the stock settings theme that SlimLP will be releasing down the road. Remember Slim is a dark UI ROM, and they also have TRDS (The Real Dark Slim), which may take them even longer to pull off.

Well I have some bad new to report. Looks like the start from scratch idea did NOT solve the camera issue after all. At least it is still not working on Freaks in-house grouper. So he will have to try another avenue. In the meantime, he is building another ROM here soon with all the latest Slim features, including the Dark Theme. So, stay tuned.... I have him in a chat window, so getting progress reports first hand. He is really bummed out and wanted the camera issue to be solved for you guys.

Anyway, give him some time as he has three devices to build for.

Try flashing it again over top of itself, or a clean flash. I have not noticed that problem...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aoh1996:
I wiped everything before flashing it. But now wiped cache once more and it seems to be OK[emoji4]
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
That is weird, I only dirty flashed it and its running flawlessly. I have not wiped since Android changed to 5.0.2. Just goes to show how the same device and same rom will act entirely different, lol... Only in the Matrix I guess...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] aoh1996:
Yeah... I thing there's a problem with charging port, because it charges much slower for a past few months than it was when I bought it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
I had that happen for a few months a few months back but it just started working normally again. I think that may be software related, or like you said the port might be going bad or the battery itself... Quite frankly I am surprised my port still works.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] idivorceyou:
dirty flashed the new build, PA Gapps micro, all works fine...

I had to reflash SuperSU to regain root. I read the FAQ in the first few posts when I saw I had a problem, bingo, real easy fix, did it all on my train commute.

But now max CPU speed is only 1300mhz. was 1500 with mkernel. should I care? am I missing something? Is this kernel tweakable?

My Antutu score is similar to past version - 19555.

I'm not seeing immediate improvements, but not seeing any bad things either.

I like the new battery options in status bar.

thanks freak.

Edit: OMG I see another update!

here I go again...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
LMAO :laugh: that was funny stuff
[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
Sorry for the noob question but when you refer to dirty flashing, is that when you don't wipe anything or is it when you just wipe cache and dalvik?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] idivorceyou:
I was on a prior build of this rom and didn't do any wipes, just bravely flashed the new year's update and the micro Gapps and SuperSU. All my apps and settings were intact when I rebooted.

I always do a nandroid backup before dirty flashing so I can quickly go back to my last working setup if it all goes to hell. Which happens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
I'm just going into TWRp and flashing the ROM, Slim Mini Gapps and SuperSU. I'm not doing anything else at all and I consider that a dirty flash.

EDIT: So far so good with the new build. Dirty Flashed it without any errors or problems. Running super fast too... YAY!

EDIT2: Spoke to soon, I guess Busy Box has been updated and now it is force closing on me. Going to try wiping cache and see what happens, lol. OK, its still force closing on my. Anyone else having issues with Busy Box Pro?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
Thanks for the info.

I've typically just been doing a backup with Titanium Backup and then on these updates I wipe just the system partition and cache. Then I flash the ROM and PA Micro GAPPS and go through rerooting just to be safe. Haven't really run into any trouble but just thought I'd see what others are doing.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Thinking about doing a clean flash on this one. I can't get Busy Box Pro to work...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] idivorceyou:
Hmm. I have busy box free and it works fine. After I flashed the rom, busy box notified me of an upgrade, which installed with no problems.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
OK, thanks. Looks like this version needs to be clean flashed. I have several apps force closing on me, including CPU-Z, ES File Explorer and Busy Box Pro, and the camera app of course. lol I am eating my own words... But he has added new settings to this one. Or its so fast now the app is just exploding and can't handle it.

EDIT. OK, Busy Box Free is also force closing. Going to clean flash... yippie kaiyay

EDIT: OK, I just finished doing a clean install, wiped system, cache and dalvik, but it is still force closing my apps. Interesting
[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
Having issues here too with the new one. What's weird is the latest .91 (not the new years one) works fine. On this latest one and the New Years one, Super SU doesn't show up. in the app drawer Even when I flash it like usual. Yet, it still kind of works when apps request root access it shows up to allow me to grant it. Really weird. Getting force closes too. Going back to .91 for now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
He has SuperSU included now in the Settings Menu next to "About Android" at the very bottom. No need to flash the app
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Reiven89:
I dirty flashed over previous version and i dont have any force close, except for camera . Also supersu does not show in the launcher :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sn4k3:
I have play services force close :(

p.s. clean flash
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Weird ...Why the new builds don't work?

Think the f2fs version has only the fc problems will look at it again...maybe I am going to post an other build today.

Can you confirm that the ext4 version hasn't got this fc issue?

You have to flash SuperSu again then it will be shown in the Settings app. If it's not installed the setting won't show the entry
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Prof Peach:
Still on new years release.

Dirty flashed and all good.

Busybox free no issues.

No su app in app drawer despite flashing zip in recovery but still asked and able to grant su permissions.

Will try later with the latest official and report any issues.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
Thanks. Never occurred to me to look there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
Loved the new build. Just flashed an hour ago. But i had an issue. Fb and fb messenger fcs after a few seconds.:( anyone having the same issue?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Known problem looks like I'm too stupid to push working builds ;D Is it just this two apps or Google apps too? If have FC's only in Google apps like hangouts or play store

Which version you are running?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
Gapps are ok. I tested mx player and that also crashes with this build. Btw, ext4 version. Will check my other apps. So far youtube works, xda app works.

EDIT: a reboot seemed to solve fb fc'ing on me. But messenger and most of my 3rd party apps installed fcs. Mx player, real racing 3, 4pics 1 word just to name a few. Gapps related apps does fine. Only 3rd party apps got screwed up.:(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] htw1:
me to for dirty flash, then I did clean flash and have the same issue - play services

ps. problem at 2015 ver (F2FS)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlfinity:
Same here, Facebook app forced closes for both my backup version and the new version released today. Btw, i'm on F2FS. I didn't encounter this on the new year build.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Got set-up stopping and black screen. Ext4, flashed rom and gapps after clean wipe. Trying w/o gapps now.

Didn't work either, got "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped".
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brunoavrocha:
when i reboot i always have "Android is upgrading" and scans all the apps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Wow, I wish that was the case for me. I spent 6 hours trying to get it to work, three flashes, two clean flashes, and just could not manage to get it to work. I tried everything that my 5 years of Android experience has accumulated. The first flash was a dirty flash, and I could not get past the initial screen when trying to sign in, the Google PLay Services just kept crashing and I could not get past it. I tried going the route of not enabling wifi, but in order to do that you need apps such as a file manager so you can install APK's such as Titanium Backup lol. And even though I had managed to get to a working launcher, google play just kept force closing immediately upon openeing it. So I decided to do a clean flash, and was presented with the same scenario.

Tried a third clean flash with a different download and still nothing but force closing with Play Services and several other important services.

I flashed back to NewYears build and all is fantastic again.

I had no problems with SuperSU, but I always flash it along with the ROM. Only Busy Box and Play Services constantly force closed for me. Its OK, I can't stress enough just how wonderful the new years build is.

That's not good, start over with a clean flash of the new years build.

I just want to say thanks to freak for his awesome work and I hope you don't get bummed when things don't work out like you expected. I think you should get that new computer finished and try again then. In the meantime I think the Jan 1st build can hold us over until you can find the time to try again on your new computer. I know School is starting up for you again so please get back to real life and worry about that. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] secret.animal:
I believe I had play services force close on dirty flash. Upgraded play services.

All good.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
Totally agree with SkOrPn. Currently using the New Year build and it's working great. Take your time, Freak.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brizey:
Anyone else having systemui force closes after changing the DPI back to stock?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treesurf:
Running the New Year's build, f2fs, stock dpi. Absolutely no issues yet. No force closes of anything.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] idivorceyou:
I never flashed the version after the New Year's build and I am extremely pleased. everything works great. Nice work, Freak. very much appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlfinity:
New year's build is near perfect if not for the lack of camera.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] htw1:
I have issue with play service . I did clean install and then install gapps from this source:

and

all of them I have play service issue.

Maby I have wrong gapps ... so if you have another source share the link and I will try :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treesurf:
I use the PA Gapps micro package and have no problems. You can find it here if you'd like to try it out: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900
[Nexus 7 Android Development] htw1:
did you install a build from 15.01.06 ? I ask to be sure :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treesurf:
This is the exact gapps package I used: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717069565

Edit: I just realized you may be asking which version of the ROM I installed. It's the 15.01.01 version. That newer version is giving a lot of people problems.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] htw1:
Ok, I will check it ! and tell

Any news about camera.... it's working now?

keep calm and have a Nexus :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
No its not working.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
No news about the camera... Still doesn't work.

Wiped my source again to solve the FC's .

I think I will upload a daily test build to my Test folder so that anyone who would like to test can test my builds and report me issues if you find something. With your help maybe I am able to post only working builds (not like the last two builds ;) )
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Well look at it this way, your New Years build was only a test build, yet its your best build to date, so yeah BRING ON THEM TEST BUILDS... lol, besides all alpha builds are test builds and it could have been the new Slim source for 0.92 that had the bugs, and had nothing to do with you. In fact, the ONLY two builds you have made that did not work proper were both based on 0.92... ;)

I would wait for 0.93 before working on another build just in case it was a Slim bug.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
Is anyone else experiencing problems with google calendar sync? It started with the happynewyear build.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
seems to be syncing ok here. But I've noticed I am only getting gmail syncs during bootup I think. Not entirely sure yet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
ok thanks, weird...because I am actually on a clean flash right now. will try again with the new build then
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
I did not try letting it sync a new calender note, I just checked to see if all my important dates were present in the rom calendar app and they are, which tells me it has synced at least once. I was meaning to create a new event on the desktop to see if it would sync to the tablet but I have not found the time, sorry.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
Well, my Google calendar doesn't even sync (sync error so there are no events visible) so it might be a problem on my end.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sixstringedmatt:
Speedy rom. Nice having my 2012 back.

I can't seem to get root back. I downloaded the supersu.zip from chainfire's site and flashed in recovery, but the supersu app still says binaries not installed. Any ideas?

EDIT: flashed again, solved the problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Glad you figured out a fix. I mostly click install binaries through the twrp/cwm option. Yes I just download from the site and not play store.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Salamin1:
I've just flashed the new years build and it's working great. Is there a way to use the white theme again? I can't seem to find the option.

Thanks for your hard work, freak, it's highly appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah, just flash the previous 0.91 build. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Salamin1:
I can live with the dark theme, New Year's build is working great so far!

Thanks again
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Ok cool, yeah it works great. Just remember, the only real differences in those two last builds of 0.91 is the dark theme and the Kernels. So, if you have to flash it again for what ever reason, just use the previous build. If you like the Phantom kernel, you can always flash that along with the ROM and get pretty much what you have now, but only with the stock LP white theme.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timedroid:
Hm, I can't get this to flash (either the newyers one or the one before that).

ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfileicon of /system/addon.d/50-slim.sh to u:object_r:system_file:s0 files: Operation not support on transport enpoint.

Using the v2.7.0.0 all F2FS TWRP.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
You should only be using TWRP 2.8.3.0 and above with Android 5, otherwise there will be all kinds of issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
Using this rom as primary rom in multirom twrp 2.30. Works ok.:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sixstringedmatt:
Thanks! This has really helped bring back my 2012. I'm still shopping for a replacement though. Are there any other tips people have to speed this thing up? Over clocking? Different kernel?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlfinity:
Try using Phantom kernel or LeanKernel together with this rom if you haven't done so yet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
yup. phantom kernel and lean kernel works well with this rom. the only problem with lean kernel is it has no kexec-hardboot patch..so my secondary rom couldn;t boot.:D using multirom btw.:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ogilviea:
I would also recommend trying oxydo-revamped, which I flashed straight over the top of my Phantom install (I'm still on the December 20th build of SlimLP). Oxydo has an sio I/O scheduler, which I am experimenting with to see if it improves the (appalling) I/O performance of my aging N7. Too early to tell yet...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lxxs:
Any way of having F2FS version of new year release? :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BakaPhoenix:
I'm using the new year build and so far no problem except one, the recharge sleed is extremely low.

I have tryied to change kernel but the speed is really too low on my 2 amp charger (it rechargeded like 40% in 7 hours)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
The new years build is F2FS.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] htw1:
I can confirm.

I'll try phantom and leankernel. Thanks! I'm on the f2fs lollipop ROM (Dec 20 build) by the way. I keep hearing about a NY build but don't see it. Am I missing anything?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526786442

Its still there...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sixstringedmatt:
I was looking at the main f2fs lollipop link on the OP. I don't see the file there. This looks to be a separate link entirely, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
He doesn't link directly to the files, that would be against the file hosters rules. He just links you to his roms. You then have to go looking for the rom you want, if its not already visible.

EDIT:

Example on what I mean by "go looking for it":

1. Click on the OP's link.

2. Click on "view full profile" under "Freak_97" name.

3. Look under "newest uploads". You see last 5 ROM's uploaded.

4. Click on the ROM your interested in.

Freak does not rename his files, so it can be confusing trying to figure out what zip is or isn't f2fs. When in doubt just ask here. The new years build is f2fs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlfinity:
Just to add, he divides them into two main links. One is for the Ext4 builds and the other is for F2FS.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sixstringedmatt:
Thanks guys! Would the build be a significant upgrade to the DEC 20 one? So far its been stable and I have no complaints (specific to the ROM itself). Can I dirty flash it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Its the same ROM but with a different kernel and darker menu theme. I personally wouldn't call that significant, I would call that a minor change. His next build will be more appropriate to call significant.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Demonfire22:
Hi, I have installed the f2fs version but I cannot reactivate root. I have flashed SuperSU again but it has just made anything that requires root to lock up. Tried reflashing but to no avail.. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Salamin1:
Have you changed the root settings in developers options?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Demonfire22:
Yes, root access is ADB and apps but still apps requiring root hang. Confused.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Salamin1:
Weird. Have you tried opening SuperSU app and granting root access to each app manually? If you can't find it in the app drawer, it should be in settings, next to "about tablet". It has happened to me that after flashing the apps don't get root permissions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Demonfire22:
SuperSU app hangs on black screen, won't open. SuperSU in settings opens but is blank.. All settings are greyed out.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Demonfire22:
Just to add, a root checker I've just run confirms that the tablet is not rooted. What do I do?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Just download and install the zip via TWRP?

http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip
[Nexus 7 Android Development] idivorceyou:
this happened to me when I flashed the new year's build. after the initial rom and Gapps flash, I had to go back and flash superSU 2.4 zip via TWRP, then went into SuperSU and did my usual whamma jamma (eliminate notifications, grant access to everything, leave me alone. and just be super...)

so I also recommended simply reflashing the superSU zip, as recommended by SkOrPn.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Demonfire22:
Flashed that twice.. Makes no difference.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Bad download or bad ROM flash then? Everyone roots by flashing SuperSU, so if that does not work you need to fix what ever is broken, i.e a new ROM flash by downloading and checking MD5's, making sure files are OK before flashing them... Download SuperSU again, or try downloading SuperSU 2.44 instead. There are all kinds of steps you can be doing to solve it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Demonfire22:
All sorted, many thanks. Reflashed the whole thing from scratch and now works like a dream..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
So the f2fs version automatically coverts to f2fs? Or is this something I have to do before flashing? I haven't flashed anything on my n7 in years so I'm a little behind but I'd like to convert the file system

Just got a newish nexus 7 WiFi. Lollipop 5.02 stock was rubbish. This absolutely flies. Battery life is great. Fingers crossed for a camera fix.
