Can you name the app(s) and I'll check if I'm seeing the same? I've noticed a few apps that are requiring 5.0+ now.

I can't reproduce this issue. If clearing data for the YouTube app doesn't solve the issue, please post a logcat/bugreport.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TureX:
Apps Like antutu or geekbench, i'm sure antutu support Android 4.0+. Thank you for support me and this fantastic rom. I tried to reinstall gapps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'm seeing the same thing. It looks like geekbench 4.x is requiring LP+ and Antutu uses the CAMERA permission which we don't have (back camera). Your best bet is to sideload them from another device (if possible) or try apkmirror which still has a version of geekbench 3.x that runs on KK. Sorry I couldn't find a better solution.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TureX:
I got another problem, YouTube crash every time. Could be the drm plugin ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Thanks for the logcat. I'll look into it. Did this happen with a clean flash?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TureX:
Yes, wipe System cache, dalvik and data, come from a 7.1.2 nougat rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] estradz21:
cleaned installed it still having the same issue
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LEvvvEL:
I have previous version of this rom and YouTube working normally.

EDIT I Have YouTube crash too.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Weris11:
good work man. It just wanted to have the cash set from the beginning. prominently for the language. I live in Czech Republic. Google translator.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Thanks for all the info guys. I just got a YouTube update (13.06.53) and it appears to be working for now. Not much testing done yet but it is playing videos that crashed the previous version. Please post your YouTube version with your bugreports/logcats. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'm pretty sure I've found the commit that is breaking YouTube. I'll be posting a build later in the week for testing. Thanks for all the help tracking it down!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LEvvvEL:
Super, I will test next new build.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgimenezm:
I've also noticed some crashes in Netflix. Do you think it's the same commit that affects both Youtube and netflix?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Marabou57:
now with new update YouTube version 23.10.59. YouTube Work fine on your last January build.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I thought that after the previous update and then after a little while it started crashing again. Please let us know if that happens to you.

For anyone wondering, this is the commit that I found to be the culprit: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_frameworks_av/commit/9745c8f6664c6b3204f5924007e946005065d357

It's from the top CVE listed here: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2017-12-01

Unfortunately Google stopped listing Android 4.4.x in the affected AOSP versions which makes it more difficult to determine if certain CVEs apply or not.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Hey everyone,

I've uploaded the builds for grouper and tilapia. I'll update the OP after I get some reports that the YouTube/Netflix issue is resolved and the builds are good. This also updates GApps and brings the security patch level to Feb/2018.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
THANKS SO MUCH buddy it means so much to us that you are willing to find a fix and are not willing to give up on developing for this tab:) I have multirom installed on my nexus 7 so I will download and test your latest build when I get home from work:) You are awesome LordNerevar:)

Also does this latest build include gapps or do I have to flash that separately?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
Just got back from work and flashed latest slimkat ROM lord nerevar as secondary rom in multirom and this ROM is amazing its very smooth and is running smooth as butter and I even have xposed working and YouTube working no crashes so far thanks for your amazing work you are a legend and you mean so much to us the xda community thanks for supporting this device even though its 4 to 5 years old:)

Here are some screens attached:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It includes what's typically called "pico" GApps (just what's required to make things work).

Thanks for testing! Glad to hear it's working so far!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
Well i got some bad news my nexus 7 wont boot into fastboot or recovery mode anymore it is hard bricked and heres what happened and i hope you can help me fix it.

I use multirom on my nexus 7 and i flashed a aosp 7.0 rom as secondary and booted into the 7.0 rom just fine and played with it for a bit and once i rebooted the tablet i get these error with a picture of a android guy with a red triangle.

Supported Api 3

E: Unknown fs_type f2fs for cache

E: Can't mount cache recovery last locale

My nexus 7 refuses to boot into twrp or even bootloader mode so no fastboot

what can i do i never experienced something like this please help me
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Try this: Press all three hardware buttons until the screen goes black. When that happens release all three buttons and press vol down+power until you see the bootloader. Then you should be able to fastboot flash recovery to fix your recovery. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
wont work buddy i think the bootloader got erased somehow it wont boot into recovery nor fastboot would it just be better to get a new nexus 7 my usb port on it is broken anyways or would it be cheaper to get it fixed what would you do in this situation? I know now to stay away from multirom though this hack is dangerous
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
might try posting that error in the multirom thread and see if those guys have any fixes. There's also the nvflash option though I've never had to try it... http://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
oh ok yeah i doubt theres a way to fix it anyway with the usb port being broken i will just save my money and buy another nexus 7 off of swappa it will be several months though and then i wont use multirom i will just use your slimkat rom because your rom was awesome and i hate myself so much for messing up one of my fav devices but oh well its not like i cant get another one right
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rahimali:
It's really a PITA how easy to brick these devices are. I bricked mine when the bootloader got erased (it's disgustingly easy to do that) and then had to buy a device with a broken screen to fix it. If you're in the same boat I'd recommend not to put any more money into this device rather buy an updated newer tablet preferably with 2GB RAM and preferably not from Asus. Just my $0.02 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mschumiv:
Hy buddy. The tablet works fine for the moment. There is an app that doesn't work on this version: Here We Go (navigation app) and it worked before. Did a fresh install and all and still doesn't work.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
To be fair I believe that's the case with any unlocked phone. It certainly is with all Nexus devices I've owned.

I've had good luck with ASUS devices but having 2GB RAM would certainly be nice.

Newcomer

Hi. I am currently using the wonderful AOSP by AnDiSa, but wanted to try out some kk rom and this one looks like what I'm looking for.

However I recall that at some point the partitions were modified because /system was too small for anything beyond LP.

1) Do I recall correctly?

2) Can I wipe my tablet and install this ROM straight away or do I need to perform some special action beforehand?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I don't know of any ROMs that require repartitioning but then again I don't try many. I also can't think of any problems you would have with a larger /system partition. Here is what I show for the /system, /data, /cache partitions on mine with ext4 partitions (using the df command from adb shell or Terminal app):

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/system 639.8M 317.0M 322.8M 4096
/cache 436.0M 7.3M 428.7M 4096
/data 28.2G 1.8G 26.4G 4096
[Nexus 7 Original Development] net.cat:
No issue so far using the latest build. The problems occur when I use the xposed from 1st topic.

Installation and reboot perform fine. I tried to flash youtube adaway and after the module activation and the reboot it's stuck at the boot animation
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Which module(s) are you installing?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] net.cat:
YouTube adaway
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Looks like this would require whitelisting /data/app/. What does everyone think? Is it worth the risk to have xposed functional?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sweetsuicides:
Thanks it's working like a charm so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Alright, I decided to create a flashable zip for this so that if you want to use xposed and accept the risks in doing so you can. Below is the zip which can be flashed anytime after the ROM is flashed. It's only meant for an up-to-date KK ROM and I've only confirmed that YouTube Adaway functions with it. Other modules may or may not. Let me know which modules don't work and I'll figure out which paths to whitelist for them.

Cheers!

Youtube

Hi. I installed you slimkat for my tilapia and it's awesome. HereWeGo works for me, but YouTube is crashing as soon as I try to play a video. Any hints from previous situations?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Are you using the test version from here?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sweetsuicides:
Thank you, I will check as soon as I get home. Can I flash it over the previous version without wiping?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferk:
Just dirty flash the ROM, and if the problem still persist wipe the data partition and do a clean install, and check again, then we know for sure.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sweetsuicides:
Thank you again. Dirty flashed it and now YouTube is working.

Funny thing. HereWeGo now isn't working anymore, can't even install it. Netflix has been working for me for both versions.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It was probably throwing the error I found here. I'm not sure why you're unable to install it though. Are you running the 213dpi mod?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
Hey lord nerevar I installed your latest slimkat build just last night on my old nexus 7. I bought a new motherboard off of eBay for it and now its not hard bricked anymore after I put the new one in. I am still loving this ROM its one of the best ROMs in my opinion. I use multirom so I have this as primary and I have crdroid nougat as secondary and I have no issues:) Thank you so much for your time and effort into building this ROM for us. One question though is what happened to the stock aosp browser I can't find it in the ROM and I think it was in your previous builds. Anyways thanks again:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It was removed recently due to several unfixed vulnerabilities. It's best to use an updated browser from the play store.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sweetsuicides:
Hi, I also tried a couple of times again and I finally managed ymto get it installed. Regarding the 213dpi mod, where can I find it? I installed the version you told me to try out.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I should be releasing a new version soon and it will be 213dpi by default so I recommend just waiting for that. If you got it to install, it isn't that anyway. Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kilu247:
Thank you

Thank you for all you're doing!

I've tested and used your last posted version 20180322-0702 for a week regularly. And it seems to be more stable than the previous build and the problem of YouTube and some other video apps crashing is almost solved. Some random and rare crashes are still there, especially with YouTube, after changing some 4 to 5 videos, but it gets back again up and runs smoothly until it crashes again. But still better than the last build where YouTube was totally and fully unusable!

Can you please again confirm that the Xposed version you posted in some previous comment works perfectly with YouTube Adaway module. I just want to use that module. But I have a fear of soft bricking my device again, because I had tried earlier with your Rom and that time framework got installed successfully but as soon as I enabled module the device couldn't boot up.

And what's the point of having 213dpi? I love Slim dpi, it is unique and looks so pretty in my Nexus 7! :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'll check xposed and that module again before releasing the next version.

Not being 213dpi causes some apps in the play store to be unsupported. To me the difference isn't that great between 213 and 182, but I can create a 182dpi flashable if needed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] am5i5:
[MENTION=4507337]LordNerevar[/MENTION] thank you for your excellent work!

I have a question: is there any reason because this version is not reported in the first post at "Latest Downloads" entry?

(For weeks I've been waiting for the YouTube patch by checking the first post... :rolleyes:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It's for testing the YouTube fix. I didn't want to post another broken version. It appears to have at least helped with the YouTube issue so I'll be posting a new version soon to the OP.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] am5i5:
Thanks for your reply and I confirm that YouTube works me too
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
i know the fix for xposed i have it in my modified build of slimkat so if xposed and adaway still dont work for you i will give you the fix:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I was able to test the dalvik patch I posted awhile back and it seems to work fine. There haven't been any dalvik updates since I created that so I don't expect any issues. I can confirm that particular module works anyway.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Hello everyone!

The latest builds have been posted in the OP. This version should hopefully make YouTube more functional. Clear data on YouTube if you still have issues after updating. This build brings an update to our smartmax governor which I think improves performance. Please let us know what you think. It also brings the latest GApps and security fixes through March 2018. Oh and I also put the dalvik patch required for running xposed in the OP. Flash that before installing xposed.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kilu247:
Thanks Dalvik fix working for xposed

Thanks! You replied with the answer!

And I'm sorry for replying so late, Xposed problem has been fixed with your dalvik patch. Now every module works fine as expected.

And I think there's not much difference in UI after changing dpi, acceptable! And new governor and other changes are working fine.

I use Dr.Web, and it's security auditor says that my Nexus 7 has a vulnerability called "PendingIntent (CVE-2014-8609)". Do you know something about this?

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Can anyone present over here, using this ROM, confirm and suggest me if I can install a full desktop linux distro and use it with this Rom on my Nexus 7 (2012) using MultiROM?

1. Slimkat as primary

2. Linux as secondary

Your suggestions are welcome, any web page, any forum or your personal experience!

Note: I know, this might not be the right place to ask these kind of queries, but I don't know about any group on the internet which is still so active and enthusiastic for a 5+ years old device.

I want to know the present status of this kind of mod for this device, stability, usability, performance etc.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I looked into it and it appears to have been patched. If anyone finds otherwise, please let me know.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Streetwalker:
It'd be great if you could provide zips without included gapps. Not everyone needs/wants them, and it's easy enough to download the latest opengapps separately.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Armin61:
I have been using this ROM for quite a while and I am very satisfied with. It works great on my N7 fitted to the car dash and on the the other N7 I use for everyday tasks. Anyway, as my car comes with factory fitted navigation, I replaced it with the N7 and it perfectly fits the plastic dash trim for navigation display.

unfortunately screen-size is what gives me an issue.

I would like to "cut off" approximately 90pixels of my screen from the button (the N7 is in landscape) and I used different apps to do that.

Is there anyway to change the resolution and screen size permanently so it would stay the even if I do a factory reset?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I believe you could create an init script for this utilizing the "wm overscan" command. More details on that command are here. The command is oriented in portrait mode, so you'd want to use the command "wm overscan 0,0,90,0" to add 90 pixels of margin to the "right" or "wm overscan 90,0,0,0" to add 90 pixels of margin to the "left". It depends on which way you orient your tablet in landscape mode (physical buttons on bottom or top). If you pick the wrong way first, use "wm overscan reset" to undo and then try the other. I recommend trying it out with an adb root shell first. Hope that helps!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Armin61:
I could not manage init.d script to work.

Anyway I used terminal emulator to run overscan command.

the question is: will this command be lost if I do a factory reset?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
Been using this ROM for a few days, its fast smooth and stable. The battery sadly not been as good as crDroid 7.1.2 that I was on before, but hopefully it will improve. :D

OTG

Hey guys, I recently picked up an OTG cable and tried to use it on a Seagate 500gb usb 3.0 drive however, when I go to storage I am unable to mount the device... I was running the crdroid rom briefly and the OTG worked on their but the rom overall was too unstable for me and would random reboot at times.

I am running build 9

Any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Make sure you're running the latest build from this thread (see the OP for the download links). It'll be a 9.1 build. Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced my OTG cable so I can't confirm it's working with the latest build but I know I've checked it fairly recently and it was fine.

Edit: Found my OTG cable. Everything seems to be working for VFAT formatted drives. I'm guessing with a 500GB drive it's formatted as NTFS? I'm not sure how well KK supports NTFS but I'll test that out when I get some more time.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Solidus86:
Thanks, I will double check the filesystem of my drive but I am assuming it is NTFS. Which filesystems are most compatible and best for using OTG in particular for video playback?

Edit - exFAT works on a small 8GB flash drive. I will try and test the same filesystem on a larger drive.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I did find a problem with ntfs support and I think I have a solution. I just need to test it a little more and wrap up the builds. Look for a new build later this week.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Solidus86:
Thanks, I will keep a lot out.

Just an FYI I just tried using my portable 500gb HDD formatted as exFAT & connected via USB 3.0 to my USB 2.0 OTG cable and the OS is not detecting any files like it was on my usb 2.0 8GB flash drive. Hopefully, you can get ntfs working.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] elchmartin:
hey!i installed thsi yesterday, runs quite good, n7 back to life :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I've just uploaded the builds with the USB OTG fix for NTFS file systems. I also went ahead and removed the Google Apps as requested. With all the privacy concerns that seemed like the way to go for those who don't want as much Google in their devices. I put a link in the OP to the Open GApps website where you can keep your GApps updated if so desired.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Solidus86:
Thanks for the update. The rom now detects my portable 500gb NTFS seagate USB 3.0 drive. However, if I try connecting a laptop harddrive which is formatted as exfat or ntfs, video files stored on it do not appear but the drive itself is detected. Any idea why this may be?

Also, in general is it suggested to play videos directly from a hard drive via OTG or to just transfer files to ROM for playback as sometimes I am finding the drive suddenly becomes unmounted and then remounts itself.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
I'd guess they're in a format that Android doesn't support. You might try VLC or mxplayer (apps in playstore) as they support more formats.

Personally, I convert videos to mp4 (h264) before copying to Android.

If you post a logcat, I'll see if there's anything in there that can be fixed for the instability issue.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Solidus86:
I was using VLC player and the files in question were .Avi files.. They wont appear in VLC or via the directory explorer app that comes with the ROM. I think it just may have to do with the laptop hard drive I'm using.

How do I post a logcat?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cocalarix:
Is anyone else getting video stuttering in the Twitch app?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/bugs - Post it here as there is no official support for KK.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Solidus86:
Would anyone know and or verify if it would be normal to hear static/interference via the headphone jack while the tablet is connected to a hard drive via OTG?

I have tried two different OTG cables and the static is constant and similar on both cables. Video playback without using OTG and no audio issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ODD BOY:
It sent my Nexus 7 to life from the dusty grave ?

I guess F2Fs files type made a real difference ?

Thank you mate
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ODD BOY:
I notice a connectivity issue in 2 Apps so far and i don't know if it is something related to the rom but i guess so.

Apps are Puffin, and StarzPlay.

Anyone else is facing a similar situation??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Edmontonchef:
Is it possible connect to chromecast with this ROM?

Seems the only ones that do are nougat based
[Nexus 7 Original Development] onoakino:
Should I flash kitkat first before installing this ROM? Currently installed ROM is LineageOS 14.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
Yes. This ROM works with chromecast devices.

I haven't heard of any issues flashing directly from nougat to kitkat.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
Really nice ROM, been running it for a couple of weeks now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
Hey buddy how did you fix the issue for YouTube crashing? What is the proper coding you did or what system files did you remove add or modify in the rom if you could tell me that would be awesome I know how to decompile apks by the way
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LordNerevar:
It was part of libstagefright_omx (frameworks_av/media/libstagefright/omx). See this commit for more details.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JT1510365:
hey buddy how did you add all the new security patches in your rom can you tell me the correct steps?
