This ROM gave a new life to my unusable Nexus 7! I'm on version 0.5 right now and so far I also have the auto-rotation problem and random freezes. Auto-rotation is not that important for me but a fix for these random freezes would be awesome. Btw, I uninstalled the Facebook app and installed Facebook Lite instead and I use stock AOSP browser instead of Chrome. Both reduced the amount of random freezes a lot(it is something like once/twice a day now). Anyway thanks for returning my N7 to life!

I used BaNkS Dynamic Gapps with no issues. The ones linked in the OP are old and didn't work well for me, either.

The ROM is running great with the build.prop tweaks posted a page or so ago.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Cloudane:
Alright, will have a dig. I got the one in the OP working but it's just the absolute basic GApps with just the play store. Installed Google Now Launcher and it won't actually launch, it says to select it in the settings and it doesn't appear! Maybe Banks will work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Cloudane:
Well that worked, I downloaded all the apps from the full package but via Google Play and this time the Now launcher worked.

New problem though, the sound just randomly stopped working! Can't get it back.

Seems overly buggy at the mo, pretty nice to use in general though.

Edit: Sound came back some time later. Didn't do anything, just left it.. It's no longer quite so sluggish either, so I don't know if it was just busy doing initial setup stuff in the background.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
BaNkS is actually just as minimal as the one in the OP. It larger because it also has files for other architectures; i.e., ARM64 & x86. It also has updated scripts and Google Play Services 8.3 which solves a lot of problems.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iamelton:
i tried a search in xda and couldnt find the package, but i found via google search..

is below the package that you mentioned?

Rotation Workaround

I think I've found a viable alternative to the built in auto-rotate, until there's a proper fix:

1 - Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ui.robot.rotate

2 - Use it to enable forced rotation

3 - If like me you then find auto rotate works in all orientations apart from portrait with the camera at the top, set the QS toggle to locked portrait, the app should then completely override the OS.

If you don't then want the notification constantly in the bar, you can disable via settings-apps-adaptive rotation lock-notifications-block all.

The above seems to be working for me, hope it does for you guys too! I haven't tried the autostart option yet btw.

Query for Devs: is it of any interest that if the QS toggle is set to auto rotate, then the app works in all ways but true vertical?

Been thinking about this, and it almost suggests that built in subsystem for rotation forgets that any other orientation apart from the one it's stuck in exiists, as the above proves that the sensors are still capable of being read.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] howasparty:
Only works once for me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Did you lock the quick settings rotation toggle?

I've now had this working through 2 periods of deep sleep.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tpuserhp:
Very good rotation work around. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
Per ops instruction everything loaded smoothly. The speed of this Rom is better thus far than other Roms I have had in the past. Will watch it for a few weeks and report on how it's doing. Thanks to the dev(s) for providing this rom. Great job!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rfoster2009:
It works for about 2 or 3 deep sleeps then the QS setting goes back to auto rotate and the rotation stops completely despite following the recommended steps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tpuserhp:
It works for me for many deep sleeps. Not clear why it does not work for you. Odd.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Perhaps the service is being killed by your device, can you then restart it by running the app?

Edit:yep, this is what is going on, so if you find it stops again, just run the app and re-lock the QS tile. Maybe excluding the app from Doze would help prevent it, or keeping the persistent notification, but in any case it's easier than rebooting.

So far, the kernel is at 3.4.110 now. Needs one last thing fixed before being testable. see here https://github.com/lgrootnoob/andro...mmit/65be9d385bd42b2b67ecf32ffd0d5742bfd73f91

When you compile, you'll know. ipv6 is probably broken though. next up on the list is making an anykernel zip.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] androidbricker:
Hi, could anyone post what's working and what's not working? Also, how is the performance and the battery life compared to stock lollipop?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
Well, I have been running out for two weeks now, you will get freezes from time to time when coming out of sleep mode. The sound worked for a while and then after a reboot, I now have to plug the head phone jack in and out once for it to come back. Performance is better than lollipop when there are no freezes.

Text to speech is not that great. Rotation works after a reboot and then won't respond, but you can use an app from the play store to force it to do what you want, the app is mentioned in one of the earlier posts.

Baterry life is good.

Have not tested NFC.

Screen mirroring/cast still doesn't work (lollipop has the same issue).

Everything else seems to work great. The developer has done a great job thus far, and I am thankful. Hope this info helps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] androidbricker:
ok, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bleedos:
I'm on 0.2 build from 10/19 and do not experience freezes. I don't know if by "freezes" you mean complete freezes that needs a reboot?

I sometimes have big lags but after waiting some seconds tablet comes back to life.

I mainly use my tablet for listening to YouTube videos while sweating on my recumbent bike and I'm using earphones. Because I do it everyday I don't experience that "no audio" problem because I plug and unplug my earphones every time.

I've read a lot and I think I will wait for the rotation fix or real audio fix before upgrading to a new version.

Not everyone uses their tablet the same so maybe some will need the latest build to be happy!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
Yes, by "freezes" I mean a reboot is needed. i agree with you that the wait may be worth it once MM becomes more stable. Unless you like flashing and restoring a lot just to try new things.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jtrvk:
For me, the sound is working even after deep sleep. The reason may be that I have forced my tablet into the Landscape orientation. Also screen casting is working on MM but it was not working on Lollipop. Only small issue I am facing is Wi-Fi gets disconnected when the tab goes into deep sleep. Is it anyway related to doze mode? Because when the tab is charging, it does not disconnect from wifi as seen in the battery settings chart. Can anybody suggest some solution that I am missing?

Apart from that, it's simply amazing ROM. Thanks a ton, [MENTION=4831205]vocoderism[/MENTION]
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
I'm not having any sound or Wi-Fi issues at all. My tablet is always on in my laptop bag and I get a bunch of notification sounds once Wi-Fi is in range.

Be sure to apply the build.prop tweaks found in the last few pages. They're already merged so expect them in the next ROM release once the 3.4 kernel is stable.

Running fstrim on /cache and /data helps. I also set at most 4 running processes in Developer Options. I still get random freezes, but otherwise it's working much better than Chroma L.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jtrvk:
Thanks for the suggestion mate. But I took Android System and Settings out of the doze battery optimization and apparently that seems to have done the trick. Wi-Fi is no longer getting disconnected. But if it does not sustain, I know what to try next :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
I can confirm that excluding these from Doze fixes the WiFi disconnects on resume, many thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tpuserhp:
Im running MM on my HP touchpad which also has rotation problem. The Evervolv developer flintman has come up a test build with the following info which I hope will help the grouper devices too:

have a temp fix in for the rotation issue. Test and let me know if its all good. Deep sleep was causing the timer on the sensors to be off from the system timer. still digging into the cause but for now have a reset to look at system timer for now. http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/17242/

Thanks flintman!

I'm now restoring my entire backup as the home button doesn't work in the ROM (for me at least), also no Battery in settings, and Flashing Gapps caused endless bootanimation. This was all under the 3.1 Kernel.

YMMV...:)
