Freezing

Hi. I just installed the current weekly OctM and it runs extremely well... for about 30 minutes or so. Then it begins to freeze no matter what app I'm using. If I let it sit for another 20-30 minutes it starts to work again, sometimes. Other times I have to force restart the tablet. I have performed about 10 force-restarts in the last 14 hours.

This is with a fresh install, doing a factory reset from TWRP 2.8.7. I also used the GAPPs linked to in this thread.

What procedure would you need me to follow to provide you with useful logs?

Thanks

Got it. I'm using the app recommended in the first post. Though, question: If I take a log immediately after a freeze and reboot, will you still get what you need? I just had another freeze and am rebooting now.

I'll send what it pulls shortly.

1114 Build

So, a dirty flash from 1107 to 1114 didn't work. Google Play Services kept crashing. So I rebooted to TWRP and cleared the cache and reinstalled the Gapps package. No dice. Every Google app kept crashing upon boot. I could hardly get to the homescreen. So I factory reset and reinstalled 1114 and the Gapps package.

Got to the wizard and google play services crashed again. Clicked through and was able to log into my account. Then everything seemed fine. I changed settings to my liking and then opened the Play Store.

I only installed my most used Google apps. But then the tablet slowed to a crawl while trying to open each app and set their preferences. To the point of having to reboot....

Okay, first force reboot in. Onto my second. So far, I'd say that 1114 is worse for me than 1107.

I'll send another log.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cjkacz:
To clarify, are you using the gapps linked in the OP? If so, what package option?

Try these for the heck of it. Factory reset, flash rom,flash gapps reboot

[MENTION=395284]cameraddict[/MENTION], when the tablet slows to a crawl its because its syncing your Google account & data. After signing in let it set awhile & sync up. It takes a lot of resources from an old tab to sync. After the initial sync you'll notice a difference.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cameraddict:
Actually, that doesn't appear to be it. This happens anytime, not just on boot or initial startup. And it happens so often, I have to force reset my tablet every half hour or so. I didn't do this with KK. Sure, I had a few slow downs occasionally that were cured by clearing the Cache partition- maybe once a week or so. But this is entirely different.

Thanks, however for the idea.

Yes, I am using the gapps linked in OP and micro package. I'll try the above later today and let you know. Thanks!

I have been running this rom for a few days now with no real hiccups. Nice work devs. I have noticed that enabling a swap file on the cache partition seems to help with the lag and slow downs a bit

Edit: Here is a link to the swap script I am using.

Update on Freezes with 1114

Okay, so Google Services seemed to have settled down without flashing the suggested alternate gapps package. So I went ahead with some testing. It took a few hours of on and off use to produce another freeze, I took a log when it happened. Then I decided to install a few more of the apps I use on a daily basis. Just two for now. I seem to be able to reproduce the problem more regularly now.

In Windows, there is a key buffer that tracks keystrokes to execute in the event that you type faster then the system can keep up with. Occasionally when there is a low memory event, this buffer actually locks up the system for a time while it processes. Is there something similar with Android? I don't mean the cache, but an actual input buffer?

It seems that most times that I encounter this freeze is after the system has been running for a while and I ask it to do something. Like load a webpage. Then as the page is partially loaded, I touch the screen to scroll down a bit. It stutters. Then I might try to pull down my notifications while I wait for it to finish loading... and that'll be all she wrote. I then have to force restart.

On each fresh start, I can touch the screen 10 times in a few seconds and the tablet does everything I ask, at the speed I touch the screen. This only happens after it's been running for a while.

I took a second log. So I'm sending both today.

One other issue, My screen doesn't rotate, I'm stuck in portrait.

Auto Rotate Weirdness

So the tablet won't auto rotate. But earlier this evening I was looking at an app on the play store that had a demo video. The demo video rotated the screen upon playing. After it completed, my tablet stayed in landscape mode... the only way to rotate back to portrait was to reboot.

Just passing it along.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wtherrell:
Had to change permissions to drop the file into init.d - - should I now change them back? Too early to tell whether it speeds up things for me. I may have to get rid of the N7 anyway, though. Very weak WiFi radio compared to N6 and GS4 from same spot.

Auto rotate

Some days ago I posted a workaround for the auto rotate issue: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63705004&postcount=468

It's working very well for me. Occasionally the device kills the app's service, but this is easily remedied by running the app and re-locking the QS toggle.

1121 BUild

Auto rotate is working with today's build. However, it still appears that the ROM doesn't like dirty flashes. I'm working through some issues at the moment. I may need to do another clean install. I'll report back later and provide logs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cameraddict:
Had to do a clean install. The system was too unstable. And I had to uninstall and reinstall almost every app for them to work.

Alas, after the clean install, auto rotate no longer works again. Strange that it would work with a broken dirty flash, however.

My system just finished updating apps via the Android/Google app backup facility. I'll use it for the next day or so and see how everything else goes.

Thanks.

Oh, one last thing for now... there is no default browser with this install (1121)... And yes, I used the exact same gapps package from the OP. 1107 and 1114 had one.

Cool. Thanks for the explanation. I have no problem installing my chosen browser. Which used to be Dolphin. I liked Dolphin Version 10, but it doesn't run in MM. So I'm forced to use their newest version. Which feels like a branded mess. But, I'm kinda tied to them because of well over 100 bookmarks that I can't seem to find a way to export for use in another browser.

I have a usage update today. I'm still experiencing freezing requiring a forced reboot (2 already today after only using it for about an hour) . And major battery drain. My tab was fully charged last night at 8pm. I used it for about 20-30 minutes. Woke up today and the battery was at about 68%. SOT was less than 1/2 hour. (thinking more about it, I think it may be a gapps issue. I'll try the alt package you mentioned in another post. After reviewing battery usage, I see that the Google app was running for nearly three hours!)

I'll use it all day today and monitor battery drain. I will recharge it and watch for this drain again. If/when it does, I will take another log to coincide with a forced reboot.

Thanks for your teams work. I may have to drop down to a stable version for a while after trying out next weeks build, as I use my tablet while I teach. So I need more stability right now. But I will check in periodically and install builds and offer logs.

SuperSU gets flashed with the rom on install unless of course you manually wipe system partition. We just recommend you boot into twrp, factory reset,flash rom,flash gapps and reboot. Good news is that next weekly will have this fixed and you can wipe system until your fingers are raw and you'll maintain root! Lol

Yeah the N7 isn't exactly a cutting edge of technology anymore - On stock Google 5.1.1, I was having issues with lag and general non responsive behavior - Octos MM Rom definitely is an improvement - While it's not perfect - I'm not sure if it's even possible for the N7 to compete with the current state of development and current devices - Having said that:

What seems to be happening to me is most probably a memory leak issue. Possibly a file system issue. When this rom runs correctly, it is super fast and responsive. But then it slows to a crawl and freezes. I don't think it has anything to do with the age of the hardware, unless you have an 8gb model. I have had roms run supper clean and fast. Even KK. I just think this rom needs more work to polish the edges. Especially since it is the first rom that needed to be ported to the N7 2012 due to Google sunsetting support for the device.

But from what I've seen from Team OctOs, they are well on their way to making this a stable rom for the N7. I'll keep sending logs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I'm really liking this Rom - Had hardly touched the N7 in ages - Today I've spent several hours tweaking the setup :)

In the OP you did mention that we could suggest features - It would be great if you could add a Long Press the Back Key to kill a running app - If possible ?

Solution to Forced Restarts and Battery Drain

Hey All. I've been using a temporary solution for my freezing system and battery drain problems.

Battery drain: I've made good use of the Tentacle feature for disallowing system wakelocks. I've disabled about 1/2 a dozen or so.

Freezing: Since it seems to be a memory release issue, I started to close unused apps with the recents screen. This seems to work well. So I went to developer settings and limited background processes to 3. So far so good. I haven't had to restart my tablet for nearly 24 hours. And battery life is good.

I've also disabled location services. And allow wifi to remain on while sleeping.

Now, the tablet is very snappy except for when it brings a cached app back to the foreground. And even that isn't too painful. Fingers crossed that these strategies continue to work. I'll keep reporting.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Sounds like a creative solution - Appreciate you posting your findings ?

I'll follow suit and see if I have the same positive results.

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Android Development] cameraddict:
Great! i can't wait to see how they work for you.

However, I did have an odd battery drain issue today. My battery was at about 60% or so when i turned off wifi and left the house with it in my bag. It turned out that I didn't need while I was out, so it sat (wifi still off) idle in my bag for about 9 hours. When I pulled it out of my bag at home the battery was at 11%. I checked the battery screen for anything that might have been running in the background, it looks like the googly services may have been running the whole time. I was tired and neglected to take a log. Normally, it uses about 1.5%/hour with Wifi on and screen off.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I've found that a couple of apps were (seems to be the case) the source of much of the lag on my N7 - Greenify was constantly trying to "Greenify" apps but was failing and probably consuming a significant amount of the available processing power - Another app that doesn't seem to work with MM (for me anyway) is Wakelock Detector - In any event reverting back to the Standard Process Limit after uninstalling Greenify - The N7 definitely seems to have more zip in it's step :)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] cameraddict:
So you went back to the standard process limit? And your N7 feels snappier?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yes it does - I had also flashed a updated Slim Zero Gapps yesterday - but turns out that there was an issue with the 11/24 Zero Gapps - So I flashed the previous version - But I think that Greenify was a significant issue with lag - But don't get me wrong - The N7 is still no Quad Core - Rocketship - but with some patience it's running reasonably well - I'm sure that Team Octos will refine the performance with each new build?

Gonna send another log. I'm still having an odd battery drain issue. The tablet did not go to sleep for 9 hours again today. I need to see if BBS will work on MM. Can't find the issue at the moment. The battery was lasting normally until yesterday.

As for performance, I think it is very snappy now that I've limited running background processes. I have no issues with the speed of the tablet when it's working properly. I haven't compared it to anything new, but it handles anything I throw at it, including using Photomate to process raw files from my DSLR.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] cameraddict:
BBS. So I installed BBS to find the trouble with my battery life. It looks like Google Calendar and the associated service are remaining active the entire time the screen is off. I rebooted to see if the system would release the service, but no luck. And using the Tentacle to kill the system wakelock the calendar is using doesn't seem to work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Probably related to Google Play Services - Depending on what Gapps you are running - And what version of Play Services is built into those Gapps - It's still relatively early days for 6.0 Gapps packages - So give it a little time - I'm running the latest Slim 6.0 Gapps - 11/25 but I haven't had the chance to determine how well they are working - The "experience" does seem to be smoother still and it seems like there's less lag than with the previous versions - If you missed it - Greenify still seems to be causing issues - a) It's not greenifying apps - b) it looks like Greenify is chasing it's tail and causing a significant amount of lag..... On a positive note - Wakelock Detector seems to be working now - it's an invaluable tool for tracking down Wakelocks along with BBS

Developer options settings don't survive reboot.

I set USB debugging on and limit background processes to 3 in developer options but if I reboot they reset to off and standard limit. Same if I just turn developer options off and back on again. Can't say for sure but I never noticed this on KK. Is there any way to get the settings to stick?

On my other devices /roms, turning DO off /on resets everything to default. Some settings stick after reboot but system process limit never does on any device /rom. I'll try going back to LP and / or KK. If the N7 continues to lag and freeze N7 will be retired.

I wonder if anyone has tried Open Gapps. I tried on the 11/7 build, but they didn't work. I may have chosen the wrong package size, however. But when the problems arose, I just went to the package attached in the OP. I guess I should try a few more packages.

As it turns out, I disabled the tentacle feature for disabling system wakelocks, I would say it was behaving the same was as your description of Greenify.
