Security Patches

[MENTION=4507337]LordNerevar[/MENTION]:

Will you be able to merge these security patches to this rom? These are the newly found security issues for Oct.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-security-updates/_Rm-lKnS2M8

Thanks very much.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I was hoping CM would continue to update their 11 branch but it appears that party is over. Yes, I will be merging these myself. I don't like being out of date on security patches either.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] roytone:
Beautiful, fast ROM.

Working very well and fast, i suggest to make a detailed instruction for newbies, i personally used another installation instruction of

an F2FS ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pan05:
Great beautiful and really smooth and fast rom, thank you! Everything is really good.

One small issue for me though is that the "Home" and "Back" buttons on my physical bluetooth keyboard do not work on this rom. Any chance to make those buttons functional again?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Unfortunately, it would be dependent on your keyboard. But, there is some hope in the following posts...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336114

If you get it working, please submit your updated .kl file and I'll gladly include it in the next build.

Good luck!

P.S. Is there a ROM that works with this keyboard? If so, I may be able to get the .kl file from that ROM if you give me the details of the keyboard as mentioned in the first post above. I'll need the Vendor/Product IDs.

I'm on M6.0 ... How can I flash your rom?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'll let someone with experience doing that answer. I found L to be unusable so I'm not even going to try M.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pan05:
Thanks for the helpful response.

I remember that on LP 5.1.1 it probably worked 100%, so i went ahead and copied my backed up files from the LP keylayout folder to the existing installation, applied the correct permissions, restarted my n7 but unfortunately got no joy at the end :(

While using the LP keylayout files, the keytest app showed correctly the scanCodes 1 and 172 on the press events of the back and home buttons respectively but the keyCode presented for every button i pressed (not only those two) was always "KEYCODE_UNKNOWN". I believe this is why the bt keyboard didn't work at all with the LP keylayout files although i don't exactly understand why as there were no differences on the actual key codes in the files.

Afterwards i restored your original files in the keylayout folder. The keytest app now shows scanCode 1 on back button press and the keyCode in that case is "KEYCODE_ESCAPE" but it just doesn't work. On the home button press the keytest app does not show a response. All other buttons work as expected.

Finally I tried to compare your files with those of the stock kk version and found no differences at all so it probably isn't a problem of this specific rom.

Anyway, thanks again for your time and sorry for my English.

EDIT:

Ok, i finally managed to find my vendor and device id so i can use a specific file and not mess up with the generic layouts.

The file i created is Vendor_04e8_Product_7021.kl (Mobile bluetooth keyboard For nexus 7).

For my testing, I added just two rows in it:

key 30 BACK (actual physical key is "a")

key 31 HOME (actual physical key is "b")

and it still doesn' work. Any other action/letter/number assignment (apart from BACK and HOME actions) works as expected.

So it is clear to me now that i am not able to map the BACK and HOME actions to any key.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RodMyers:
Just found this ROM, and installed it this morning. Downgraded from stock 5.1 to this.

The tablet now seems new again

Thank you
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CRMarius:
Thanks

Will give it a try to this latest ROM (lineage)...Can I use it with multirom ? (atm I'm using slimkat unofficial 9.1 and i'm quite pleased with it's performance).I'll share my experience here in a few days.Thanks a bunch for your work ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cygnus:
I have been using this since you released it and I've got to say its incredible! It's definitely faster than the previous build, and last pass works perfectly. Battery life is also very strong. I don't think I'll be changing to anything else anytime soon.

Thanks again for continued support of this great little device!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cygnus:
Is there a way to enable closing all open apps from the recent apps panel? I've looked all around the settings but haven't found an option for it. Not a big deal, just curious.

Update: found how!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] CRMarius:
Will root if I flash Super SU ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I haven't tried that in awhile. I use the "Apps and ADB" setting in "Settings->Developer options->Root access" when I need root.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CRMarius:
Thanks but I was talking about the other ROM.Lineage.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] abhifx:
definitely a better ROM, but GPS doesnt seem to get fixed (its working fine on nougat based ROM).

if needed then i can post logs
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Can you try the lineage ROM I posted here? That doesn't get as fast a fix as what's in this ROM, but it does work for me. If it works for others I can include their config in this ROM. If that doesn't work either, then please do post your logs and I'll see if there's anything I can do.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] abhifx:
sure... will let you know once i download and install the rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Paddy's:
charging behaviour and slow updates from play store on standby

Hi,thank you for your work on this rom,which i think is the best for this this device. I have a tilapia 32gb with all f2fs and i noticed two little issues:

1)sometimes when is updating heavy apps from playstore , like facebook but also other apps, the updates last forever if the device is on standby ,i mean with the screen off,and then after a while they finish only when i turn on the screen.I use wifi and the wifi is set to be always on standby.

2)i use a aukey charger with quick charge 2.0 and if i charge the device when is on, the first time i connect the charger the charge is slow,the ampere app shows 200 mA or less. Then if i unplug the charger and connect it again the power goes up till 1300 mA and the charge is very fast.I already changed the usb port and other charger have the same behavior and are slower than the aukey. If i charge the device when is off ,it seems to charge at the maximum speed in 2 hours ,so maybe the problem is present only when the device is on.

Sorry for my bad english and thanks again for your work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] abhifx:
so i tried your lineage build but had multiple issues installing it

1) clean flashing rom always take me to type your password to decrypt storage (i have not encrypted my storage)

2) had to restore boot from slim rom which booted lineage but got stuck at android phone constantly crashing.

3) i have finally booted completely but gps still doesn't lock (which is a given since i have flashed slim boot)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I've noticed #1 as well sometimes and I've also seen some selinux denials to the play store/services which may or may not be related. I'll see about getting those resolved and maybe it will help. As for #2, I'll see if there's anything in the recovery kernel that may help as I believe that kernel is used during offline charging.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Good to know. Sounds like Lineage is having problems with your data partition (possibly f2fs related). Thanks for trying! I'll upload a flashable zip to change GPS configurations soon. I think I had something like that already... just have to find it or rewrite it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] BL4CK_92:
can we do a separate thread for the lineageos Rom? I'm getting confused. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] abhifx:
great.. a flashable fix would be easy.

i dont know if data partition is the issue, i formatted data partition multiple times but that didnt help.

ALso Nougat ROMs are working fine with no data encryption error.

this is true that these ROMs are absolutely flying in this old tablet. but i need gps for car infotainment purpose.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I''ve uploaded the flashable zips to here. Thanks for trying them out. I understand about wanting GPS working. It is a priority of mine as well. It may also be that the NTP server doesn't work for you if you aren't in North America. You might want to try changing that before you try the zips. This is the first hit from Google for the various settings. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] iAndroidOS:
This ROM's performance is straight through the roof and towards the stars! That said, my N7's getting really hot while doing virtually anything (except for watching movies on VLC). Correspondingly, the battery's draining pretty fast, too (several percents over 10 minutes - again, not while watching movies).

Does anyone else have this issue and/or know of a fix?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] abhifx:
i also tried the flashable zip which just kills the system ui constantly making the tablet useless
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I haven't seen that myself. Can you give an example of one thing that's causing it?

SystemUI crashes from flashing GPS_cm11.zip?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] abhifx:
seemingly.. however i have restored past twrp backup of LOS11 with CM11 theme which might also cause systemui crash. will try clean flash with your ZIP by next week.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] iAndroidOS:
Literally everything, though it is especially pronounced with the wifi on. For example, it gets pretty hot when reading creepypasta via the app (which shouldn't be CPU-intensive at all). Every activity that keeps the screen active for more than a few minutes at a time seems to lead to the same thing (the more interactive the app, the faster the heat builds up).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgimenezm:
hi there

First of all, thanks for the best rom for my Nexys 7 (grouper)!

I was wondering if you plan to update this rom with the latest security updates, specially BlueBorne stuff.

Thanks again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Hello, Yes I plan to do that when they get added to here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skinniezinho:
Nice project, I will follow and flash as soon as possible on my tilapia
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wutzin:
wow, awesome news! I'm also sitting and waiting for an update with BlueBorne fix included ;)

Thanks for your work!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tomcis147:
Anyone have issue where youtube video stutters for split second and audio desyncs?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] KSlith:
The ROM after install is a little... uncomfortably large. I can't get replacement kernels (including [MENTION=4948627]daniel_hk[/MENTION] 's DC Kernel) to install correctly anymore with important files failing outright to copy. any chance that some trimming of the fat will happen soon?

I'm having the same problem on multiple ROMs and Kernels on the N7, with only Lolipop not having a problem. it appears to be an issue on Google's end.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I only notice this with F2FS /system. I haven't seen a way to reduce the excess that F2FS yields other than to switch back to EXT4. You can remove the /system/priv-app/Velvet.[apk/odex] if you don't use the Google app. I think the rest are required for Google setup.

Agreed. Appears to be YouTube related with N5 Nougat builds even having issues on YouTube rotation.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgimenezm:
Looks like that branch doesn't get much love lately :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It has been awhile, but there are a lot of patches in review. As soon as they are committed, I'll pick them up.

This ROM come with October security patches

Heh... and now there is KRACK :laugh:

It never ends :eek:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] redirete:
I just a quick note, If you link the latest release for each device on the main post it can be simpler to download it (sorry I'm lazy) ;)

Keep up the good work, my nexus now is snappy as hell with dc kernel and parrotmod.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VFansss:
Guys: I want to flash a simply but powerful ROM on my hated Nexus 7 2012.

I want to do only simple things like navigate web, internet or youtube.

It's better, for daily use, to flash the original Slimkat or this unofficial port?

If latter, where is the latest build? I can use the second page links? (previous pages confuse me a little bit).

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Ok, I'll do that with the next release.

Yes, it's on the second post.

I've updated the ROM with October updates and am testing it out now. I hope to release something by the end of the week if testing goes well.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Hey everyone,

There's a new build out today (see the OP). This build includes all of the latest security patches through October/2017. I decided to create a userdebug build. Hopefully that will help out those who are using f2fs on /system as it gives you a little more room (no odex files). I've also only included those GApps which are required (no more Google App which is really growing huge lately).

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Marabou57:
thanks a lot. work perfectly without f2fs. long life to your project.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skinniezinho:
Thanks a lot for this update. Do you recommend installing ParrotMod also?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
You're welcome. I don't recommend any mods. I believe all of the beneficial changes in ParrotMod have already been baked into this ROM. If anyone knows of something that helps with this ROMs performance, please let me know and I'll look into it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skinniezinho:
Thanks, so far I am running the latest version of your rom without any problems. The version before I had some problems (playstore I believe). This one is running fine. Super fast, low ram consumption, gps works. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Hey everyone,

I received an email regarding apps in the Google Play Store showing as unsupported on this device. For Slim based ROMs this is often due to the DPI setting Slim uses by default (182 for grouper/tilapia). For most of us it isn't a problem as the number of apps in the play store that require a certain DPI setting aren't that numerous. However, if your favorite app is affected then it can be a big deal and turn you off Slim entirely. For those users, I've created a 213dpi flashable zip file to get your apps installable through the play store again. I recommend flashing this immediately after doing a clean install. If you don't want to do a clean install, then you will have to clear data on the Google Play Store after you flash the zip file by going to Settings->Apps->All->Google Play Store.

Hope this gets you back up and running your apps.

Cheers!

Thanks for this awesome ROM but how do I install xposed the official one won't let me install it says not available for SDK 19
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I don't use Xposed, but this has been reported to work in the past.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tima10:
Thanks for this awesome ROM, but my navigation program (City Guide) can not connect to its update server, says the error, the Internet is connected. On other custom all is well.:confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It's just this particular app that has trouble connecting to the internet? I'm not sure what that could be but if you get a logcat of the error or create a bug report I'll take a look. If you create a bug report, just post it to this thread as SlimKat is not being updated upstream anymore.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aleks10393:
I have this problem too. (with WPS Office)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MBrad10:
quick question

Hello,

I recently flashed this ROM on my Nexus 7 and it seems to be working good, I do have a question though, Im primarily going to be using this to watch sporting events through the apps like NBC Sports, WatchESPN, Fox Sports Go....my question is there a way to share the screen with my Samsung Smart TV? My Note 8 has a screen share quick setting that I just click on the phone when turning the share on the tv...I do see a 'Cast Screen' option in the display settings, but it doesn't see my TV. Sorry if this is a basic question, Ive been out of the loop for a few years and just trying to get back in for this Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Marabou57:
did you tried tv cast (Samsung) from the playstore?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.twokit.video.tv.cast.browser.samsung
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MBrad10:
I just tried that, it might be a viable option, but it will only screen cast websites, where Im using the app version (Like NBCSports, or Fox Sports go) but I did watch a video through there that was posted on Reddit. I suppose if this is as good as it gets I could probably make it work, thanks for the suggestion!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skinniezinho:
Although this rom is running fast, I have Android System draining my battery, something like 40% in the night with everything off.

I switched rom and it is not happening, so it is not anything hardware related.

Any hint on how to solve it? If useful I can post a screenshot of gsam battery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tamilkhadar01:
Seems to be hardware related issue. It is an amazing battery saving rom. With wifi on only 4-5% battery draining over the night
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skinniezinho:
No it isn't, I reflashed my old backup of 7.1.2 rom and have no drain. Today I wiped cache in recovery and wiped data on google play services to see if helps (Read that on google).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tamilkhadar01:
I don't know what is the exact problem with yours. I just shared my experience with this ROM:good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It sounds like something is keeping your tablet from going into deep sleep. I recommend installing BetterBatteryStats and that should help determine what's keeping it awake.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skinniezinho:
Apparently wipping google play services data helped, seems ok now =)

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] necrodrako:
I'm not having any luck with this version, even on a fresh wipe.

Does anyone else have any suggestion on what might work for installing xposed?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'm working on the "whitelist" issue which is what you get after the xposed framework is installed and the tablet reboots to a freeze on the slimkat bootsplash.

If you're having a different issue, please post a logcat of the error or bugreport.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgimenezm:
FYI, there are some new Android patches related to https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com.ar/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html

Mobile mode

HI all, is there any way to force this ROM to run apps in mobile mode and not tablet mode.

Some apps run in tablet mode but they are too small and sometimes confusing on the 7inch screen.

Thank you!

Giuseppe
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mt12345:
I think this ROM is already well optimised.

I get 17730 before flashing Parrotmod and 17484 after ('old' Antutu 5.7.1).

I use F2FS, I think score 12000 refers to EXT4.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sinkoo1979:
Thank you to the developers for updating this rom. This rom is running buttery smooth on my Nexus 7 Tilapia.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LEvvvEL:
Sometimes when I unlocking nexus 7 the camera app is starting automatically. How to change that?

---------- Post added at 15:10 ---------- Previous post was at 15:06 ----------

I had a bootloop after installing xposed to, but I was found a zip file on xda forum to flash in twrp. And no bootloop anymore.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Hello everyone,

Very small update out today. This build fixes the bootloop/lockup seen when installing Xposed. It also updates the Google patches to November 2017.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sinkoo1979:
Can you dirty flash?

Update: Okay to dirty flash
[Nexus 7 Original Development] autorage:
Thank you very much for updating our device.

However installing the recommended xposed version still resulted in a bootloop.

I flashed this fix and everything works!

You rock!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'm not able to reproduce that. If you can, please post the logs of the bootloop and I'll take a look. If anyone knows what was modified in that libdvm.so, please post. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgimenezm:
Flashed 20180114-0158 last night and did the dalvik and cache wipe. All seemed ok but then I found that Netflix crashes on start and Youtube crashes when trying to play a video.

Went back to 20171111-1620 and everything works again.

Has anyone else experienced this with 20180114-0158?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Snze1:
LordNeverar, you are a legend - my grouper is running great on the most recent build. Thanks very much for your work :)

My only issue is the pogo pin / docking ability doesn't appear to be working.... I've had a trawl through the thread, and it looks like its identified previously; was this ever resolved? I've not got an otg plugged in, or anything else I can think of. Is there an alternative kernel that might work, do you think?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Glad it's mostly working for you. Looks like I never heard back on that so it got dropped. If you can post a bugreport that might be helpful in tracking down the problem. Unfortunately I don't have the dock so I can't reproduce it myself.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Snze1:
Thanks - bit of a saga getting a bug report as the option within dev settings wouldn't let me send it anywhere, but I've got one via adb.

Not got a high enough post count to add a link to it here though; how can I send it to you?

Edit: I tried a different kernel on the off-chance :rolleyes: so apologies if I've made it harder... I can roll back if it'll help

Another edit: Scratch everything, I think it's hardware related... dock's not even working on stock :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Thanks for the additional info. Sounds like it may be hardware related if it isn't working on full stock firmware. :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Marabou57:
information

for your information I'm running your last Build and I have no problem with my docking station. same for all your previous Build.

thanks for supporting that old device who's working perfectly with your rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TureX:
With last update i got incompatibility problems in playstore,how can i solve?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Thank you so much for reporting that. I didn't know if it worked for anyone or not.

Is it only certain apps? If so, try the 213dpi zip. If it's all apps, have you tried clearing app data for the play store and rebooting?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TureX:
Just some apps, i just tried to flash that zip but problem isn't solved
[Nexus 7 Original Development] liviurad:
i have the same issue mentioned before, youtube crashes
