Audio seems to work, even after deep sleep

No GPS

GPU lags slightly on occasion, making some animations stutter, effect visible if you try and play Flappy Bird..

Rotation stops after deep sleep.

Overall though, the device feels more responsive :)

Sound OK, rotation problem still present. Installed perfectly following instructions a couple of posts up.

It fixed all the problems I was having. Rotation and sound. Thanks for the help. I did it the way that you stated it worked for me.

Try install the test build but stuck on google logo, downloads twice, install with and without wipes, and over the 10/19 build but not luck.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tpuserhp:
It happens to me too because i did a reboot after the install. Vocoderism's instruction was to power off device after install, then wait a few seconds and power on the device.

So while i got stuck on google logo, i pressed power and volume down buttons the same time. I then chose the option to power down device. Wait a bit and power on the device again. My device booted up ok.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Did you power off your device after flashing? This new kernel doesn't seem to like being hot restarted. Hold power and both volume keys together to get into the bootloader, select power off with the volume keys, and press power to shut down. Wait for a minute, then try to boot normally.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] warriorofice:
Thanks, this was the problem, i didnt read this tip.

Testing now the build.

Think I bricked my N7 doing this test... Got to updating 8 of 51, and spinner stopped. I waited 10 minutes and decided to do the volume down/power boot, but black screen holding that for 2 minutes. Nothing with power only either. Anything to try to get to bootloader?

I also tried removing back, unplugging and replugging battery, no luck. Just black, no signs of anything. Power was 95% when I flashed ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tpuserhp:
After a deep sleep, i woke up now and did more testing.

I never had audio problem before. Not sure it's because I'm using v4a.

GPS is not working.

I believe I found a work around on the auto rotation problem.

I found rotation lags a bit during testing. So i went to developer options under settings. I turned off the 3 aninmation scale options. Now rotation works like a charm after deep sleeps. I don't play games and i don't see any bad effects of it. I did the same setting under 5.1.1 too due to the poor performance. I hope others can test this out with the same good result.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Silarn:
Dirty flash here, sound works, but for some reason play services aren't working, and I tried a couple different gapps. I wasn't sure if everyone else was talking about that or the other GPS. Rotation stuck as well, but it does seem even more responsive. It was running decently on previous version, but app changing could be laggy. That seems improved.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Mandrake2010:
flash test build ok , but problem with brightness, dark ...screen off . i must reboot and dirty flash previous bild 10/19.

P.S with test build no sound or rotation but I have tested only briefly because the brightness is crazy ( going off the screen and when I could turn it back on after a while goes off again )

maybe some problems with various sensors in the Nexus 7 on the 3.4 kernel ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tpuserhp:
Sorry, the amimation changes i suggested earlier did not help on rotation after more testing.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
If you download the Androsensor app it only shows GPS as being missing, also rotation works in the SkyMap app.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] käsebr0t:
GPS, Audio and Rotation are all working fine here. Only issues are that my magnetic cover isn't working and Google Now Launcher is pretty laggy, but apart from that the system runs smooth and without any problems. I will report if I notice any other problems.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] offbeatdave:
Hmm. Rotation packed up altogether! No amount of rebooting/power cycles fixed it. The only way it would change was via fixed orientation apps. Anyway, did a complete reflash (factory reset, ROM etc. from OP, Google Keyboard, test ROM etc.) and rotation is working at the moment.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Timbermill:
Damn - similar thing just happened to me. Is there any way back?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
If you find a fix please post. Seems as dead as a doornail. PC doesn't see it because you can't turn it on. I've tried every button combination for at least a minute.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zigonneux:
Damn, this is scary... ! anyway, when you are connecting the charger, the screen is not showing the battery logo as charging or being full ? if it does, try booting with the usb cable plugged in.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Another sensor thing: my magnetic smart case no longer wakes the device, or puts it to sleep. Just noticed this was already mentioned, sorry...

people say MB replacement only (it is in APX mode, hardbrick). so be careful
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
If it is only in APX mode you can escape from it by pushing the power button for at least 20 sec. If it was stuck in APX mode for some time, probably you need to connect to a power supply and wait some time until it will be able to start again.

If you messed up the bootloader, it's bricked and then you need to change the MB ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ®azor:
[MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION], of course i've already tried to push and keep all buttons i have ). power only, vol down + power, vol up+vol down+ power = nothing.

the battery was about 80% when it happened, when i am connecting it to the wallet, there is no indication about it at all
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I only wanted to mention that APX mode and a bricked device are two different things. From APX mode you can escape from a bricked device you cannot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ®azor:
[MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION], i appreciate your suggestion, if you know anything that could help when there is no reaction on pushing and pressing any buttons - please let me know.

Please do. Mine is at home plugged into the wall charger. I'll give it another try this evening.

Was it the three button hold, or random mashing that got you back to the Google logo?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
This didn't help me, tried 10 times. My 6p arrives tomorrow, goal is to ditch my n5 and n7, so not a big loss, but would have been nice to give to kids.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ®azor:
I lost it again after one of reboots)

I was trying to push boot, system, recovery over fastboot. It was not able to boot btw even after that. I would think there is some hardware issue, but it is unlikely since i am not the one here.

Yes , those were almost random combinations and pauses of buttons
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=5331062]®azor[/MENTION]: Most likely you need to wipe data to be able to boot, especially if you were on a different ROM before.

Generally you should be able to power off the device by pressing 20-30sec the power button, even if you are APX mode. Especially when messing around with pressing different buttons at the same time there is a high risk that your devices ends up in APX mode. In that case it seems switched off, but in reality it is not. You can see a shimmering light, i.e. background light is on. Remaining in that state, the battery is draining and after a certain time the battery capacity will be empty. If you are in that case, the device seems to be bricked, but it's only in APX mode with an empty battery. Unfortunately even when connecting to power you will *not* see the battery animation if you are in APX mode.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
No faint light here. Been on charger for a few hours (was at 95% when blacked out). What's interesting is when connected to PC, and I hold all buttons for 15 seconds, the computer will make the "beep" as if something is connected (but nothing shows up anywhere). And when unplugged it (the PC) makes the unplug beep. But no combination of buttons will make the screen anything but black (even in a dark room).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=4158306]tcat007[/MENTION]: Looks to me as if your device is in APX mode. A bricked device normally wouldn't be able to communicate with the PC, but I might be wrong ...

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
OK, looked at device manager and when I plug in the "dead" N7 the "Other devices/APX" shows up. If I hold all buttons for 15 seconds, it disconnects (device goes away), but as soon as I release buttons it shows up again. N7 screen black at all times, PC shows nothing but the APX device with "!". Anything I can try from the PC?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Try ro hold down the power button only until it disconnects.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Then what? It disconnected, I pulled the plug and tried rebooting to bootloader, nothing....

Thanks for the suggestions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ®azor:
Keep all buttons pressed, it helps me to reach bootloader. My current goal is push any FW to the device
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
All I want is any signs of a bootloader to see if it will boot to recovery. So far no luck.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=4158306]tcat007[/MENTION] when it disconnected hold down vol- and power to boot into bootloader. If that doesn't work your bootloader is messed up ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
Yeah, ROM flash must have fried the bootloader. :crying:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Timbermill:
Exactly the same for me. None of the button combinations/connections achieve anything. No sign of backlight. No bootlaoder. Game over.

Hey vocoderism, any response to the bricked devices? I know it's not your responsibility, anybody who is flashing things took the risk on themselves. But the least you can do is respond with some advice and delete this post so nobody else stumbles in without keeping up with what's happening.

I'm going to flash back to 4.4.4 omni rom tonight, not gonna risk a brick for now. Be happy to come back to this when the issue is figured out!

Edit: not trying to attack or be critical, but it would be nice to hear what's up is all.

Many thanks. I'll certainly do that when I get my next one :cool:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zigonneux:
As much as it's a very unfortunate event, nobody is forcing you to test the early builds. This will teach me to be more careful when I'll flash my expensive Samsung tab s. I've had my fair share of scaring events when testing some new Roms but I never blame the author.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ignitionnight:
I agree, we take the risk and its a risk every single time you flash something from XDA. I don't blame vocoderism for this, just would be a good thing to delete the links if there's reports is causing bricks.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Timbermill:
Like tcat007, I dirty flashed the test build on top of the 10/19 build (which was working with occassional freezes). I wasn't using any alternate kernel. Whilst flashing the test build it got stuck updating on 10 out of ? apps. I waited at least 15 minutes whilst eating my dinner. Gave up waiting, volume down and power to reset. Since then it's just been a dead screen, no backlight, no bootloader. Tried all sorts of button combinations and it won't turn on. When connected to PC it is found as APX. Can't exit APX mode.

No change. I haven't seen a charging icon or google logo under any conditions.

Any risks for the tablets that are running the test build now? I am wondering should I restore to my 5.1.1 backup? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ignitionnight:
I think there is a misunderstanding, was the test file from post #261 a build update or was it just the kernel update? I looked at the file and all it had was boot.img

Nope I'm wrong the file download must have erred for me cause it was only 4-5 mb on my phone.

If you were merging f2fs stuff to the kernel and flashed it to a phone only formatted with ext4 would that cause this problem? Seems to me like it would at least get to the bootloader right?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tcat007:
I used test build from 261. If I remember I opened it and looked normal. I don't think I would have gotten to updating apps if it was just kernel related.

What about GPS. It doesnt seem to work a bit with me at all.. Is there any solution??

You know what, I entered to boot mode and choose Recovery. It showed twrp logo and got stuck. I had to go to the job, so I connected it to power and left. When I came back in 12 hours working twrp was there %). I am trying to format data from there now but it is EXTREMELY SLOW, I made a video of swiping but dunno how to attach it from the phone. Maybe it is a hint why we was not able to boot initially and got stuck in Google apps

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Silarn:
In my case, fortunately no hardware breaking issues. My only problem was mysteriously missing Google Play Services. I ended up factory resetting, skipping setup and installing working keyboard with adb. But doing this fixed the issue with play services for me. I can only assume an app I had installed previously was not playing kindly at boot?

Beyond that, issues are much as others say. Geolocation is working, though unsure if GPS is working or if it's using other methods. Sound is fine. Screen rotation and case cover detection stops after deep sleep. I find I have to tap the power button twice to wake it, though maybe I'm predictably impatient.

I did see some graphical noise in the recents screen one time.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=5331062]®azor[/MENTION]: most likely the 'slowlyness' is due to the untrimmed flash memory. I noticed similar behaviours, too, especially on first boot when there are many apps to be compiled by ART. Try to call fstrim to free up some flash memory.

Of the builds so far, 10/19 runs the best, with fewest lags, particularly when background processes are limited to three. Runs cool even with the interactive governor.

This latest one locked up on wake from deep sleep so badly that I was forced to reboot each time.

The 3.4 kernel test build ran ok under its interactive governor, but this caused a lot of heat due to high CPU clocking for most of the time it was awake. There were also graphical lags and stutters.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] espaciosalter20:
For me, 3.4 test build works flawless! No sound issues, no rotation issues, no lag or sttutering at all, doesn't even have Google play services issues Just follow exact instructions (flashed rom, reflashed gapps and SuperSU beta, wipe cache/dalvik and power off tablet) and activate limited activities to 2.
