[Nexus 7 Android Development] FF74:
Ok, after upgrading with the latest build, I'm experiencing a weird bug: the 'home' function doesn't work anymore.

I can assign any function to the middle button with no problem whatsoever, except for the 'home' one.

Even when assigned to the left or right button, will do nothing except highlight when pressed.

I added a fourth button with the 'force kill' action (just to be able to return back to the home screen), no biggie, but it's a little annoying.

It's worth mentioning that I tried to flash back to the previous build, and the problem persists. Right now I flashed again to the latest build and it's still here.

Everything else work just fine, battery is amazing and overall speed is blazing, but I'm no power user... I use my Nexus to surf the web and watch Youtube, no games at all.

I read somewhere about another user with the same problem talking about a 'dirty rom' or a 'dirty build', but I don't even know where to start...

Thank you guys for the amazing work, hope this will help someone :)

You have to do a clean flash on this build. That means wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache partitions before installing the image. :)

A "dirty flash" is just an update of the ROM, and it works for most builds, but not this 6/5 one. To do it, you only wipe the system partition before flashing the image, that way you don't lose your installed apps and data (from the data partition).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chaostrodamis:
90% of all my games crash instantly after launch on this build. I've clean flash and all. And I mean a true clean flash starting from scratch. Wiped both caches, system and data.. Still no go
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fwayfarer:
i find this rom to be the smoothest and most issue free on the n7 2012.

with that said, forcing a clean flash for an update should really, really be reserved as a last resort. luckily i had already formatted before updating due to my own error playing around with kernels.

not that a clean flash is a bad thing, i frequently urge anyone having issues to reflash clean for many things, but for an update that becomes tedious to set the tablet up again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Promez:
Simply don't update ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] canodroid15:
Not that tedious, I clean flash & setup just as it was b4 in minutes with 2 apps ( Titanium backup pro & ROM settings backup pro) both found on play store

Have noticed that if I banish Chrome from this tablet, this firmware runs great. As soon as chrome is launched, it becomes laggy and unresponsive until a reboot. Need to work out a way to sync my bookmarks and site passwords to Firefox, as I use chrome exclusively on the PC.

I'll give the new release a try in a few days.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tischbein:
I must be blind. Can someone please tell me how to open SuperSU? It isn't shown as an app nor can I find it within the settings. On a prevoious version it was there.

It seems that I have root as I can use root explorer bu I'd like to see which apps have root granted.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bb709394:
To clarify your issue:

1) SuperSU app is not located in the app drawer?

2) SuperSU is not listed in Settings - > under the Systems category (where Developer Options and About Phone are located)?

Some things to try:

1) Install/Update SuperSU app from the playstore and reboot - does the app appear?

2) Boot into custom recovery and flash SuperSU again (I have success with version 2.46)

3) Clean flash rom, custom recovery and SuperSU
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SebyD:
I recommend using the latest TWRP. After flashing the ROM, the recovery will tell you that it's not rooted and it will offer a option to root. After the bootup, you will recieve a notification that will tell you to install SuperSU via Play Store or TWRP. Choose Play Store, install and you are done.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wrkerr:
This is what I do every time.

Does anyone have xposed working in the latest build?

Clean install. After installing xposed zip I got stuck at boot logo
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mdknight:
So we still NOT format system as f2fs? Just wondering because the instructions under this link instruct otherwise.

Update: Nevermind, I got it working. Thanks anyway for anyone who would have replied. ;-p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tischbein:
Finally did a fresh install once again and then...tadaaaa! I got the app. Although I installed SuperSU with TWRP at the first step.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rapdes:
Can I dirty flash the 6/17 build on top of the 6/05 build without issue or does this also require a clean install like the last build?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bb709394:
I recommend a clean flash! After the SuperSU issue above, it may be easier to mitigate any problems versus investigating the problem.

You are welcome to try dirty flashing and let us know how it goes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wrkerr:
I did dirty with no problems, though clean is always going to be safer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Eezay:
Hey guys. Wanted to try out Optipop. I'm wiping everything and installing optipop_grouper-ota-2015-06-17.zip. The file name says "ota". So is this the full rom or only an update. Hence the file is only 140mb.

Edit: I get an error while installing version 17/06
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bilakos10:
What error do you get?

Even though the file is named ota, it is actually the full rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Eezay:
It is working now. Reason was installing via usb-otg. When moving the zip file to internal storage no more errors.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hochoch:
Games are working now, thanks very much! If xposed would install this rom would be perfect!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Promez:
I think Xposed doesn't work due to some optimization

I prefer a fast and stable ROM than use Xposed [emoji14]

Optipop lacks a lot of italian entries, it's not a big problem, but it's not so nice to see mixed languages ITA+ENG. I prefer to use just one at all

F2FS is slower than EXT4 with this ROM?

I installed "optipop_grouper-ota-2015-06-17" on my Nexus 7, and I noticed if using F2FS for data and cache,

the read/write is slower than EXT4, is this normal? :confused:

And not just benchmark score is lower, when I play the game, LINE Bubble 2, it will be a little laggy.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] decky006:
Strange, as that's how I tried it with multirom. Got the error.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
Are you updated to the latest multirom TWRP June 1 2015? This version fixed the update-binary error that previously occurred with quite a few roms. Also, I just flashed this optipop build as a secondary. Are you flashing optipop as primary or secondary?

EDIT: I just noticed that in the pic that @wrkerr attached to his post, TWRP said it was flashing a block image update file. The 0625 build that I downloaded is not block image but standard zip format. Maybe @freak_97 had to re-upload a new build, as the link he posted to the rom is a dead link.

EDIT2: looks like @freak_97 changed the link to the fixed update. Try downloading again, it should work fine.

Could someone point me in the direction of an alternative Gapps to flash? I don't want to use the one linked to in the post (I can't get Calendar working) and anytime I try anything but the linked Gapps it results in bootloops. Thanks for any help you can give.

BTW Im formated f2fs and using the latest update.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
You can try these: http://xdaforums.com/slimroms/general/gapps-official-slim-gapps-trds-slimkat-t2792842

[Nexus 7 Android Development] wrkerr:
I also use Slim GApps Zero.

If you are having trouble, verify that your system partition is still ext4. System partition cannot be formatted as f2fs. That is by far the most common cause of issue here.

Yes sometimes says 13h until full, just unplug replug and 1h30 until full, with stock wall plug.

It is probably the cable for the slow charge. I have the original and it is the cable.

Query on some little 'bugs'

Great Thread! Before i wrote this query, i definitely clicked on THANKS! i've seen very palpable changes in the performance of my N7 after installing some programs to overclock the CPU and GPU. I also love the interface and the tweaks that you've provided in the ROM!!!

queries:

a) i just wanted to know what could be the reason for not being able to DELETE files when using ROOT EXPLORER or SOLID EXPLORER, in either the internal SD card or in ROOT. :p Previously, i was running CM12.1 (LP 5.1.1.) but i shifted when i experience lagging during wi-fi acess, and many more lags. But root explorer and other similar programs used to work fine then. Does the ROM have some special setting that secures the internal memory? :crying:

b) then i'm also wondering how to give DU Battery saver root permissions. other applications always manage to make the root permission to POP out, but DU (at least in LOLLIPOP) seems no longer to give this reaction, at least for me to turn on the CPU features. :confused:

c) i have yet to try other features, but i'm most certain that things are pretty much in place... but will surely drop a note once i've encountered any more 'unusual behavior'

other than this... i'm very happy with the ROM and setup! i'm going to share this with my other friends who have N7.

many thanks,

bodega
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TabletConnect:
I still notice lag. It appears the memory issue (apps not clearing) still exists. I still see apps when clicking the most recent button (square). I have to manually clear it out after a while since apps remain in memory and slow it to a crawl. Plus I do use Greenify but still. I have read that Lollipop needs decent hardware and this 2012 N7 is outdated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] techlifeweb:
I'm running an experiment where I turned off Greenify. I have in my mind that it isn't needed in more recent versions of Android . I think my N7 is behaving better and I'm not noticing any worse battery life.

Still experimenting..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] coolek33:
And you will see them there no reboot no nothing will remove them (manual clear only) but that's how LP works. And I doubt it's the reason of your lag. Most likely it's that you're clearing them. Clearing recents apps from recents window isn't good for performance and never was. Leave them alone for a while after reboot and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ophidian_DarkCore:
Look, this hardware is capable. We just suffer from slow flash and a really outdated kernel. The kernel will be fixed soon, just hold out. Then the flash problem will be fixed by moving the data partition to usb otg.(the one hack i can actually do)

In the meantime, remove some system apps you dont need, and overclock to 1500 in setcpu.(changing the 'hispeed freq' governor option in accordance)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bodega1968:
yo freak97,

bodega1968 here... apologies for my long queries about not being able to erase some files. i realized it was only affecting the folder which contained the ROM which i had installed via TWRP. but strange though, this process somehow made that containing folder 'untouchable'. but now that's solved, and i hope it didn't distract you from more important things.

thanks once again,

Well, I switched last night to this ROM, coming from Rastapop where was experiencing some random reboots. Everything is working flawlessly, I don't know who's the developer but please pass on my congratulations to him. Found only two minor glitches, (1) had some trouble during the initial setup stuck at 'Checking connection...', so after some reading decided to switch to 'Slim GApps', that solved that problem, and (2) for some reason the BBC News app refuses to work, don't know if it can be related to this ROM but it was working fine with the previous ROM. Anyway, thanks once again and keep up your good work.

really enjoying this 5.1.1 f2fs setup. new life to my 2012 Nexus 7 (WiFi) (grouper)

first I used TWRP 2.8 to wipe all partitions. then I used the advanced wipe options to change /data and /cache to f2fs (I left /system alone - ext4)

finally, i used these files for the flash:

optipop_grouper-ota-2015-06-25.zip

Slim_micro_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-${05-03-15}.zip

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

rebooted, and it takes about 4-6 minutes to update the apps.
