Did you clean or dirty flash this? If you dirty flashed this then most bugs would carry over naturally. I plan on trying a dirty flash myself but my GPS is currently working just fine.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Just try it, you wont hurt anything if it doesn't work, its only the cache partition.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BackInA88:
Dirty flash over last build.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
Yes, cache will rebuild on reboot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
What kernel are you guys using? Im on all ext4 mode btw.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Ahh memories...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Nostalgia
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Well I answered your question just now lol, no apparently not. I just formatted /cache to f2fs and rebooted and its still ext4.

What is this F2FS zip I keep seeing people mention?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
For people on lollipop and want faster performance and have a N7, this "fix" seems to be working wonderfully for lots of people. Wish I tried it before resetting but oh well..

" Hi,

I found that: 1)turning off auto screen rotation 2)going into keyboard settings and choosing holo theme 3)keyboard settings -> gesture typing -> turn off dynamic floating preview helped a lot.

Thanks. God bless.

Aaron"

The second one is the best one. This is not from me just passing along information for frustrated N7 users
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Hmm interesting. I have never used screen rotation before because I always use Rotation Locker and immediately set it to permanently in portrait mode. I also never use the stock keyboard as I always use SwiftKey keyboard. I also only use Nova launcher, remove any fancy screen animations and use No Wallpaper to increase the performance. I also drop animations to .25 ms and use 1.5ghz and f2fs whenever possible. Other than using the proper governor I'm not sure what else can be done to make it run correctly.

My N7 is running fantastic
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
So far, performance-wise the ROM and Bricked kernel combo is solid. Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] amix3500:
Love chroma on nexus 5 but still no 3g data on tilapia..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
So to remove any ambiguity, I just clean flashed, and there's still no GPS. Other than that the ROM is fantastic :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
What's the default kernel? Guess still need to flash the zip for f2fs support?

Also has camera been fixed?

Sent from the sixth dimension.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dareino:
thats what I did....running it on ext4 sys and data/cache f2fs using franco....seems alot spunkier

thxs sky!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evrest:
Camera and notification are not working...! haven't done gps test yet...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Just to make sure, if I want F2FS on /data and /cache do I

1. Flash Franco

2. Flash the "repack-grouper-bootimg-flash-after-kernel-f2fs.zip"

3. Then you format/change filing system to F2FS?

4. Reboot

Anything else recommended?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
You have to format to f2fs before flashing. And back up everything to your pc when switching the file system of the data partition

But be careful with Franco's kernel on f2fs, it appears that it corrupts your data partition over time. Personally I hope that Metallice is able to fix his kernel for 5.1
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah, that could explain why I lost over 20gb of space the last time I ran Francos kernel, lol. I think I will wait for r83 to see if Franco solves the corruption issue. Yeah would be nice if M-Kernel was working again. Thanks for the info...

Oh, one more question [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION], if I just flash the "repack-grouper-bootimg-flash-after-kernel-f2fs.zip" would that give me F2FS support with the built in stock kernel your using? Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
I think syko said that you still have to use a compatible f2fs kernel and the included kernel is not compatible. The zip is not a f2fs converter

Hello everyone!

I just flash this rom, seems excellent.

I noticed, however, that the buttons in the navbar are very large, why? is possible can get them back normal ??

Thanks! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Flash a softkey apk. Many in the layers thread. Reducing navbar height doesn't help much.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Legion69:
I can confirm no GPS after flash. I made clean install from 4.1.2 stock. I have newest TWRP. Dont have any other problems with this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pincher65:
known bug. we wait will correct so far
[Nexus 7 Android Development] midnighteight:
But... It's just my problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
No, that is the way it is on this ROM. If you want smaller or different buttons, then install a navbar or softkey layer.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 1haumann1:
Or use Softkeyz app from Play Store [emoji6]

keep calm and have a Nexus :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] striker59:
I was able to size the nav button in settings, chroma, navigation bar, navigation bar height. Default is 48dp, I went with 36dp.

What is the point of android device manager if a thief can just shutdown the phone?

Stupid thing...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] secret.animal:
Who said there are smart thief's. For the thief stop to wipe the phone also or just sell it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
Exactly my thoughts, people seem to be paranoid about thieves and recovery mode.

Chances are, a thief wouldn't even know what Android recovery mode is or how to even get into it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
No, no I just don't like that they can turn it off while LOCKED
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Once Aluminum-Ion or any other new battery tech finally replaces Lithium it will be time to enable the gps full time, even when the device is in a off or very low power state. So when the user turns it off, it actually does some sort of Sleep or Hibernate mode, uses next to nothing in power, just like its off, but continues to broadcast its location to police, lol. That would be epic and I think all devices, tablets, laptops, car/trucks etc should have it by now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Yup, it would be great if the NSA and all the governments had an easier time spying on us and it would be JUST PERFECT for advertising companies so that they can learn more about your life.

Nice knowing you privacy... It was a pleasure ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Why on earth would you like that? Your statement makes no sense, unless you actually work for those agencies.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Won't be druv:
Whoosh!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
I should have added /sarcasm or something...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PatrickMac:
actually it was pretty obvious :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Sorry, haha but the poor association with privacy infringement made no sense to me. The GPS chip in a device does not give away any privacy info, it does not tell anyone your sex, your age, your orientation, what you like or what you enjoy eating. Its nothing more than a chip that locks onto GPS satellites and tells only the user where THE DEVICE IS. Even if a government agency had the address of that chip why would they bother with it? They know everything about you already since your entire life has been recorded. Your name, your ID card, your address you put on your ID card (I mean you did declare your correct address right?), My tax return checks, and my tax information that is registered with the government, your physical address which is on your ID and federal law in the US (assuming your in the US), even your birth certificate is hundreds of times more privacy infringing as it tells where you were born and your sex. A little GPS chip that only you have the address to does nothing to help advertising companies, it does not broadcast your name, or your age, or your sexual orientation, or what you had for diner and what you plan on for breakfast. It just tells YOU where it is, and only YOU have the data. Even your tattoos are more privacy infringing than a GPS chip that only you have the data to. Now if your dumb enough to give someone that chip's physical GPS address, and dumb enough to be doing something illegal that would warrant attention, then by all means you shouldn't be using GPS in the first place. I'm not a criminal and do not care if my device can locate me, my life is already fully recorded.

I been using GPS for 15 years or more for Hiking and camping reasons and never once has it helped any organization target me or hunt me down, but your name and home/work address is already well known and recorded by the Gov. So again, your statement makes no sense to me. Why would I care about something that has zero chance of infringing upon my privacy, when my Government already knows everything about me? pfff
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
I don't have anything to hide and I love GPS for navigation, but it's still creepy if people know your every move you make. As for the advertising, companies will know your in their store and start bombarding you with coupons and ads every time you walk in. Just an example but good luck with that though.

/sarcasm? I... I... Don't kno...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Won't be druv:
I think this is true. I am now getting Google rewards questions targeted at specific shops that I've recently been in or sat outside in the car. Presumably this is no coincidence.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
It all depends on how much you care, living in a capitalist society has personal material benefits as long as you can afford them, and the obvious progression of this in an age of technology is personalised capitalism.

Things only seem creepy when they feel beyond our control, and you can of course delete your entire Google history, but if you want the convenience of having your phone suggest a good place to have lunch, you'll find that lunch recommendation is not free.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Have you tried Camera MX? I just moved to Purity on my n7 because of the gps issue, Camera MX works with it (as does gps). Be back on Chroma Grouper when the bugs are gone.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
I had not tried that one originally, but I just did now and it does not work either. Not too big of a deal though, as I don't use the cam/gps on this device all too often... I see that the cam issue is affecting n7flo and n5 as well but it is working on my n6, so I'm sure a future update will address these issues. I'll just wait it out.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Working fine on my n5 Chroma.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chaostrodamis:
No matter how I flash this to my nexus 7 I get stuck at the boot animation screen.. Am I the only one? Couldn't find a solution.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Use latest TWRP, do a full wipe. Redownload rom. Try to flash only the rom first
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
Are your partitions ext4 or f2fs?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
Syko will compile a build later tonight for N7-2012 with 5.1.1.

I'm currently building for N6/N5/N4. Currently on N5.

Just keeping you guys posted that Chroma hasn't forgotten about N7 2012 just yet.

Although it is true that the download counts doesn't reflect a good amount of demand.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frikakwa:
You guys are just incredible!! We see the same envy in [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] than in [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] to build further... and give pleasure to the fans that we are! :good::laugh:

Thanks Mates! ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Good to hear, but I don't understand what you meant about download count, looking at syko's afh profile, I see grouper far outstrips everything else:confused:

Ediit: just on the 4-15 release I mean, but it still looks pretty healthy to me, and as other roms die off I bet you'll attract even more groupies :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zer0lab.dev:
Ho guys..

I'm curious about this ROM, sounds good..

Just a little question, if you please: does it come with CM Theme Engine or only Layers support?

Thanks!

Please do not leave grouper. This ROM with NVIDIA kernel is amazing. Since kk 4.1.2 my tablet has not been as sweet and snappy as nowadays.

Ah there was a 4-14 folder, I was looking at 4-10. I was comparing to the other devices (e.g. phones).

For Chroma Nexus 6, I get 3000+ downloads

N5: 2000

N4: 1400

Probably what's going to happen is that we'll discontinue support for tilapia models or all devices will be supported but won't be updated as often as the phones (maybe every 2-3 weeks? unless it's a really important update such as a new Android version). I personally don't have any intentions on compiling any tablets so that'll be on Syko but he's been busy with life and outside of Android so I don't want to "wear" him out by making him do something he doesn't want to do :)

Only layers
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I noticed that too.

N5 had less than 1500 downloads or so on the same build that N7 Grouper (2012) got 777, and N7 Flo (2013) only got 654 or so on the same build date, which is over 100 less than Grouper. N7 Tilapia is the device that has next to nothing with 40 or so at this minute compared to Groupers 777. Seems strange because I'd rather have the Flo any day of the week and it got less downloads, lol. I think with almost 800 downloads in less than a week (over 100 a day average), that Chroma is a big hit for Grouper. But I think that is because all the other ROMs seem dead already.

I want to trade my N7 for the "other" N7 now... haha, or break down and get the TAB S or N9.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
I'm pretty sure we all would be fine with 2-3 week releases, just don't forget about us.

The thing the other guy is right, as more and more ROM's slowly die off, more people will go looking for a new ROM.

Since about 70% of the ROM's haven't gotten updates in more than a month... You can see that people start clogging up threads asking dev to keep going and building for a device.

Just look at Mahdi ROM, it doesn't even have lollipop for the N4 and never will.

Or look at at Cataclysm for the N4, it's still supported and updated because the original developer atl4ntis allowed others to pick up his work and port it to phone.

The same is happening with the Nexus 7...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I think this summer will be time to move on if I want to stay updated with custom ROMs. In 2012 it was an easy choice but now there are so many tablets and so many different features and specs that it's not as easy as it was 3 years ago.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sykopompos:
Sorry guys, the tablet delays are my fault. Just been really busy getting a lot of work done on tons of other things outside of android so I haven't even had time to sit down at the computer
[Nexus 7 Android Development] googleygoggles:
It also makes hard for developers to choose which tablets custom roms will be available for. Like you said, a two years ago, there was only a handful of tablets that actually kept up with the market and got great support but now, it's a swamp.

In unrelated news, I almost got an LG G Watch off eBay for $70 but at the very last second decided not to because it's not getting Wi-Fi support. (Seriously Google, out of all of those android wear watches, this is the one that doesn't get Wi-Fi?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
I think we will all be thrilled with whatever amount of time you guys can spare for Grouper. Thanks for all of your great work on all the Nexus devices!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] amcferrin90:
I used the 4-15 ROM for Tilapia. Curious if any other Tilapia users showed "no Sim"?

I installed per instruction except I didn't use Franco kernel. Would that make a difference?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zephiK:
Mahdi ROM is no longer a thing, they've rebranded themselves and is now known as Euphoria OS. Mahdi is apart of Euphoria as well.

We'll try and keep them up to date but it'll probably not be on the same schedule as the phones as they're more popular.

Syko is compiling the roms overnight and he'll have the 5.1.1 update for N7 2012 sometime in the morning whenever he wakes up.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Are you talking about Wi-Fi connect step taking forever? If you are, many 5.1 ROMs behave that way on all my devices. Just skip Wi-Fi, and then add the Wi-Fi network and your Google account in settings after you get through the rest of setup.

FWIW I flashed over 4/15 so I didn't experience welcome screen on 4/22.

In maps if I touch the cross hairs I get the "Use GPS for location" question every time even though it is already on?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Location set to device only, Maps blue dot works. And here's GPS Status in my living room.

I agree Gapps shouldn't help GPS, but here's why I asked.

For me on 4/15 and 4/11 the blue dot in maps was the only location related issue I had. Whether my news and weather apps were getting their location from Wi-Fi or GPS I don't know (i didn't test with device only location then) but they were geolocating fine on 4/15 and 4/11. The idea that Gapps could have made a difference in my minds eye has to do with the maps app working now and maybe a lib in newer Gapps could have helped.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
ABC works on f2fs too
[Nexus 7 Android Development] decky006:
I clean flashed. As soon as it booted up past the chroma symbol. A error dialogue popped up saying setup wizard has crashed. If I hit OK it keeps repeating the message. I am going to dirty flash later starting with the earlier release. See what happens.
