I am on 0.9.3 - updated on Apr 25. Looks like the latest release removed some of the features from your version.

Yes, I am rooted.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Lol, looks like it was removed. Guess I won't upgrade. I had made a "red" version if you want to have that feature:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
What kernel are you using? Sometimes kernels don't allow to change certain values and therefore the app hides this entry.

I'm using franco for example and I also don't have the mentioned entries in the misc tab. But my rotation works perfectly...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RainGater:
It's the default kernel on this ROM, Franco. I am not sure why the rotation doesn't want to work... When the team releases the next version of this awesome ROM, I will flash it and try my luck.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
Not sure why people think Chroma is made by a team. There is no team. In fact, Chroma doesn't even have much resources that the other ROMs have (e.g. Slim, PA, CM, LiquidSmooth).

Those guys have build bots, nightlies, websites, gerrits. All Chroma has is compiling on our own personal home computers.

It's by me and Sykopompos, Syko hasn't been doing much with Chroma as he's been busy with other things. His only duty now is to compile the rom and possibly do device specific commits for N7-2012/N7-2013/N10.

What is the problem here? Auto rotate not working on the kernel provided out of the box on Chroma?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RainGater:
My bad. I was under the impression that there was a team as it sounded that way. Even now, it looks like there is a small team, you and skyo, but I digress.

I already explained what my issue was in the last few messages and don't want to sound like a broken record. In essence, I turned on Auto Rotate on Nova as well as System settings and still don't want to rotate. I posted some screenshots earlier. Not a big deal... Will flash your next version, whenever that may be.

Thanks a lot to you and skyo (for builds) for providing an awesome ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Is it just rotate that doesn't work, or is the accelerometer sensor not working at all.

Can you play Temple Run is a good test for accelerometer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Nice catch. I was wondering why my GPS seemed to be the only one working last week. My device indeed was set to selinux permissive.

I use Franco r82, I flash the Universal Kernel Manager and install Synapse to tweak kernel settings. The Tools tab in Synapse is where I toggle Permissive/Enforcing. I like this setup much more than the kludgy Selinux Changer app in playstore.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Currently the bunny (reference from the early Frank era in case anyone's confused, I'm not mad really :cyclops:) is merrily bouncing around awaiting Syko the bunny chef (he makes a great stew)..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
I don't have the physical N7 2012 device (nor plan on getting one) so I can't really test it. I'll have a look around when I have the time but ultimately it's up to [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] to update device specific related stuff.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] midnighteight:
Which kernel do you recommend to use with this excellent rom ??

I would like more fluidity and speed possible.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
It's pushing it to get speed on a Nexus 7. I use Lean Kernel 5.3 which isn't too bad. I'm all ext4, but f2fs cache and data should be faster/smoother. Syko had done a great job with this ROM for the N7!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
I've been using the Bricked kernel with /cache only formated as F2FS.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ElQuixote:
Thanks for this insight. Have given this a try and will see how it goes. I got it to boot - now just need to finish setting up and get some ideas on how the speed performs.

Soft Key Sizes

Did anyone find a fix for the enormous soft key icons? There was mention for the temporary fix of installing a layer, but what layer are people using? I tried Stockbar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitsykolayers.StockBar but nothing changed after installing the layer
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
Didn't the latest build suppose to have the fix? I don't have a tablet so I can't test.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
I just change the navbar size to 28 in settings. Looks ok to me that way
[Nexus 7 Android Development] striker59:
I'm on latest update and nav icons are fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ElQuixote:
Maybe it has been fixed recently, but I think the most recent Grouper build is still from 4/22 unless I missed a newer one.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ElQuixote:
What version do you have? Is there a Grouper build since 4/22? Cheers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adrman:
The latest build, 4/22 has the fix, although it may just be due to the included Timberwolf layer. Applying a soft key layer was always the fix.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] steviemch:
I'm on latest build, clean flash, and soft keys are still roughly the size of Zimbabwe. Not a big deal as it's easily fixed.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] ElQuixote:
By "easily fixed" do you mean that you just changed the total nav bar height to force the icons smaller in chroma settings, or you applied a layer? I'd like to retain the height if possible but just make the icons smaller. They currently take up almost he entire nav bar height. Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Just look through these soft key layers and install one you like.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] steviemch:
Simply by applying a layer sorted it for me. It's kept the height but made the icons smaller (although the layer I'm using doesn't theme all icons e.g. the menu icon, but not a huge deal).

Great rom! However, I'm unable to access my quick settings. Notifications are not showing up at all (notification sounds work, though). Is anyone else encountering these problems as well?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] steviemch:
Nope, no problems at all with this rom. Are you using a layer? If you are, disable it and see if the problem persists.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Fobos531:
Maybe a dumb question, but where do you get 5.1.1 until the official grouper factory image is released? Also, is there a changelog for android 5.1.1?

No, I haven't even figured out how to use Layers yet. I did a clean flash last night and installed some apps when I found out that I received no installation notifications (or any notifications at all).

No, I wiped my device clean and installed Chroma 4/22 build.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RainGater:
Awesome! Thank you so much for your wonderful work and feels like my Nexus 7 is reborn again :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] steviemch:
I know some users have solved issues simply by re-flashing the rom, (without wipes) so you could try that. If that doesn't sort it, I'd download the rom again and go for another clean flash. Without a logcat, there's no way to know what the problem is.

I know I'm not supposed to ask for eta, but just asking if there will be one? Odd my gps and camera were working for a while, but now they're both dead. No clue what caused that, but pretty sure it's the rom. Other than that, Chrome Grouper is running well on my n7.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tomvl117:
Did a clean flash and everything seems to be working now. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frikakwa:
Did you reset selinux as permissive? This should be done after every reboot! ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Yes, I use Kernel Adiutor (.0.8.8.1) and have permissive "set on boot". I reinstalled rom, and now camera works, but still no gps love. No map blue dot, "no gps" in GPS Test. Tried a couple of gps.conf files (since the one that the rom installed only has 4 lines).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Try a soft reboot as I think you need to restart the system after setting selinux to permissive for gps to function.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Damn, my old mind is going. I forgot that trick, worked great and gps is back up. Still a minor rom issue I would assume.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shizophren:
Hey guys, i want to flash this rom with 5.1.1. How is the performance? I'm right now on 4.4.4 due to the laggish lollipop performance on the nexus! How's about this rom? Is it good for daily use? Whats your experience?

I'll nag [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] to compile tablet builds for the next release with 5.1.1 proprietary binaries.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Fobos531:
I see that you guys are mentioning proprietary binaries. What does that exactly mean? That they have been written exclusively for this device(Nexus 7 2012)? And how do they differ from AOSP 5.1.1?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Yes, specifically for the n7, but the term proprietary, as I understand it, means that they are pre-compiled and not open source. They are provided by the manufacturer, and the source code is owned by them.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
Closed source and the manufacturer of their respective parties give the final product. However, some files may be missing and not included which are taken from the factory image and included with the rom.

I was wondering why I was encountering an increase in lag, then realised I'd forgotten to turn gpu rendering back on after my last clean flash - better now!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
So it has came to my attention that a user decided to make a unofficial Google+ page without asking me in advance. The user sent me a PM and asked if I wanted it or not and I told the user to remove it. I decided to take things on my own hand and make my own Google+ group for Chroma.

Join if you want, https://plus.google.com/communities/100877567555105149232 -- I probably won't look at this too much because it's just another thing to maintain but I'll do my best.

I highly advise those who joined the unofficial group to leave it and join the official one made by myself, thank you.

I had that issue. I think I just rebooted and it fixed it. I think I remember others saying just don't connect on set up, and connect later. Think it's a twrp version issue.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
There is a way but it is a bit arduous, press back until you can skip the wizard, open the playstore and sign in there. The disadvantage is that you then have to download your apps individually, and reset all your settings.

Sometimes however it does get through if you just wait for the connection attempt to time out, and then try again. It is extremely dull though either way.

Guys, any help would be appreciated - I really could not use stock 5.1.1 it was crawling, so slow, so I tried this ROM and it is really nice except one thing - GPS doesn't work! Any fix for this? I did factory reset, clean cache/dalvik/data, then flashed ROM, Gapps, SU and M-kernel. So it is a clean install. It just seems that GPS is always off, it shows "high accuracy" mode but Sygic or Maps don't see GPS as on. I also installed GPS status app which shows GPS is OFF. Please help! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
In a terminal emulator type this:

Then do a SOFT reboot, choose this from the extended power menu that is available when you press the power button, et voila - gps will be restored.

There is a mistake in the selinux policy that denies access to the GPS, so the only way to get it to work is to make it permissive rather than enforcing.

The soft reboot is so that you only restart the system and not the kernel, as doing this would turn the enforcement back on. The upshot being that you need to do this after every full reboot. I believe there are apps that can set enforcement at startup, but I've never looked into it as I don't reboot very often.

Well not having much to go on, but it seems that something on your system is preventing selinux from being set to permissive, as I'm sure the lack of gps is due to a simple avc denial. Make sure that the app has su privileges. Sorry not to be of more help.

Maybe try a different kernel? But it works for me on both stock and m-kernel, so I don't really know what to suggest..

I haven't been visiting the tablet threads for awhile as I'm done with finals and have been enjoying my time off.

In regards to the state of tablet support on Nexus devices, unfortunately, I will be discontinuing support for the Nexus 7 for the time being.

Sykopompos isn't around and I haven't been able to get in touch with him for almost two weeks now and I have no plans to blind build for Nexus 7.

Sometime this week, I will make Chroma's manifest available to the public so anybody can compile Chroma and continue unofficial support for the Nexus 7.

If a user wishes to be a maintainer for Chroma on the Nexus 7, then be my guest and I will update the OP with a link of your unofficial build. I don't have the device so I will need other people to test the unofficial build, the build will also be required to leave Chroma intact the way it is and not include any additional features that is not included with my ROM. The only thing you would be able to change are the device specific commits and proprietary binaries.
