[MENTION=3195147]footballpics.info[/MENTION]: this has been discussed. You get to choose what Gapps you want to use. Just download the recommended Gapps from http://opengapps.org, it is not much at all. I would recommend using the version from January 22nd.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
High all,

Dirty flashed latest version, letting it sit for an hour as recommended and started using it. No problems in wifi so far connects to home and hotspots as it should. One issue as always, response time (lag) of the keyboard and in general the touchscreen. Anyone knows how to recallibrate and check wether it's hardware or driver ?

Cheers

Glad to see that [MENTION=4297659]adrianom[/MENTION] finally stopped embedding the Gapps on the ROM. Will you do the same for Marshmallow?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
One small issue. I noticed that in the apps and the games I played sound is garbled, almost robotic (tested with Yo Weather and Cut The Rope HD). I do not have this issue on Youtube or Vimeo though. Do you need a logcat?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Now that Nougat is well underway, guess Marshmallow will go to the fridge. :p

Hi [MENTION=4297659]adrianom[/MENTION]

I don't want to be pushing things, but I noticed there's only one webview active in the ROM. Are you aware of this patch, or do you consider it not part of the philosphy behind your ROM ?

Cheers, and tnx again :)

Hi Adrianom

I have another small issue : when recording a video with the default app, it results (no matter how long I record) in an unreadable 396 kb file.

File is recognized as an MP4 :

$ file VID_20161010_191513.mp4

VID_20161010_191513.mp4: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]

Thanks in advance !

Some Bugs (?)

This is amazing. Latest version made this usuable as a daily driver for me. Anyway, here are initial bugs I encountered.

1. Audio issue from last Marshmallow build still here, audio from apps without built-in equalizers have no sound. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I don't see AudioFX or Music FX or something similar from the list of system apps? I'm not a developer myself so I wouldn't know.

2. Now on Tap not available for Nougat. (Yes I have Google App installed.)

3. System UI Tuner not activating in the Settings cog in pull down menu, I kinda need that embedded battery label.

4. Setings search seemed to be bugged. I saw that no result comes up when I look for "battery."

5. The "Vision" (forgot the exact term) menu from the first page of the initial setup does not open.

6. This one's not really a bug, maybe a request but could you modify the RGB balance of this rom? It's very warm compared to default CM custom rom screen temperature. (You can ignore this one if you want, since I have an inefficient workaround for this.)

Anyway, thank you very much for this.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] platypied50:
Hey, first of all, thanks for advancing the OS for this great little tablet. The improved battery life and just overall usability is so appreciated. My only issue is that Google Play Music still won't give me audio. I upgraded to Nougat when I experienced the problem on your MM version hoping I could get around the issue, but it's the same. Audio functions for other apps, and I have intermittently gotten GP to briefly give me sound twice. I can't figure out any consistent trick to get it to work, like some order of forcing it closed and clearing the cache or restarting the GPad. At one point I got a song playing with audio, but I lost it as soon as I changed tracks. I went back to the track, but no dice. I thought, well maybe it's something with SU (like as if it were some kind of sneaky license protecting issue), but I tinkered by uninstalling root, and audio still fails. Anyway, I hope you can solve it. Thank you again.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] xdfly:
will xposed work?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] xdfly:
Audio doesnt work, but so far everything seems to be working flawless. ty
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ledabe974:
Obviouly no.

Xposed for Nougat isn't out yet.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fredouye:
I wiped before flashing the lastest release, and sound is working great (in games, YouTube at least).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I think we are (again) faced with the different chipsets regarding audio (at least). There was an issue among some of us with audio and it was fixed by flashing a zip audio-razor-update-20160520-1-signed.zip with a different lib compiled by [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] (if I am not mistaken). I would not flash it on Nougat, though.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fredouye:
I spoke too soon, no sound in Google Play Music ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Hibble:
Some apps can't connect to the ext SD card storage. I think this is ROM related, since with MM all was fine?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
Well, you must expect that some apps will not detect SD card correctly. The ones I tested detected the SD card perfectly. Now that I am thinking about it, Maps.me would not let me move maps to the SD card (most likely because it did not detect it). We have to wait for apps to be updated for Nougat. File managers had no problems, even my iGO or Titanium Backup did not complain. Let's not put all issues on the ROM side.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] chris777c:
Hello,

Sorry, I don' t see any instruction in first post of this thread.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rbrenelli:
Having these issues too

Yes, I am having that issue with the SD card too. I was on a previous build and Netflix would recognize and download to the internal storage without any problems. Spotify would not recognize the SD Card, so I couldn't set it as my storage. Google Play Music that usually recognizes the SD Card is also not seeing it. I use the SD as Portable Storage.

I updated my Netflix app today to try and use it on my SD Card as it now allows it. But as the SD was not being recognized I updated to the latest build 20170122 to see if it would work, and now Netflix won't even download to the internal storage. Still the SD is nowhere to be found within apps like Spotify, Netflix and GPM.

I love this ROM, otherwise it works great. The SD card issue is odd, cos like in Moon Reader I can see the contents and load and it works fine. It is just these DRM heavy apps I guess.

Changelog - 2017-01-24:

Kernel Update (wifi and net tweaks)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woozle:
The description for the Netflix update states clearly that writing to the SD card isn't supported on all devices. It wouldn't surprise me if it's dependant on passing SafetyNet checks, although I'm just guessing. Obviously there's a more fundamental issue giving it's not offering the option for downloads at all for you.

I've just updated Netflix to the version that allows SD card storage, and whilst I do now see the new setting in the app, it only lists internal storage (I'm running the older build of the ROM that does allow Netflix downloads). My SD card is formatted as portable storage.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sultan.khan.x:
Im using my sdcard as internal storage should i format sdcard first before flashing latest build or just dirty flash over it without formatting sdcard
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] footballpics.info:
if i try to download the gapps stock from your gapps link it keeps breaking after 1 or 2% .. on my notebook the stock gapps pack is downloaded in a few mins .. both use the same wifi connection so that cant be the problem ..
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rbrenelli:
It is not a matter of Netflix supporting this specific device or not, because the same issue happens with other apps such as Spotify and Google Play Music. They are all unable/unwilling to use the SD Card (formatted as portable storage, haven't tested with adoptable storage) to download their media. Before on Adriano's 6.0 ROM I was able to tell Spotify and GPM to use the SD card as storage, and I suspect that Netflix would work as well. There is something different on this 7.1 ROM with regards to SD Card usage.

And after the 20170122 update something else happened that Netflix isn't even giving me the option to download to Internal Storage. The same has happened to another user https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70683993&postcount=567

I think it is safe to say that Netflix (and Spotify and GPM and who knows who else) didn't flag our device as incompatible over nothing or as if there is a list of compatible devices and ours simply isn't there. There is something that isn't quite right with how this ROM deals with the SD Card, so lets try and find out what can we do so our device's are compliant with whatever is needed so all apps can download their DRM media to the SD Card as before on 6.0. Or was this a fundamental change to 7.0 onwards that apps haven't caught up to? I am not aware but dunno, Google keeps changing the way SD Cards work on Android.

Anyway, thanks to Adriano for this ROM, it is incredible and I love it and I'll carry on using it the way it is regardless if this has a fix or not. My old device feels new and up to date thanks to your work.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I noticed the same behaviour myself with the latest Netflix app. I works as it should on my G4 with stock Rom. The issue is with the sources for AOSP 7.1. I have a TV box with Nougat at home, I will check Netflix on it as well before and after updating it. It used to show me internal memory usage on my G Pad, but it would not detect the SD card. On my TV box I have a HDD connected, but it should not matter. It is an external memory from Android's point of view.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Swing*:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Niksac:
try an opengapps version that contains webkit.

That fixed the issues for me
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Smakodak:
I can confirm that. But I'm sending out a plea to the developer to correct this if possible. It's a much appreciated feature not to have to install all that gapps that I don't use anyway.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Swing*:
Morning.

So I have to use the stock Version from opengapps, because i figured out, that webview seems to be the app what brings the webkit with it. Whats up with the other ones here? Do you have the same problems or an idea how to solve it instead installing all the stupid google staff?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
Why don't you take the Aroma package, select what packages you want, exclude the others, save the setup and use it every time you install? This is what I do. It is pretty simple, I don't think Webkit can be included in the Rom because it is related to Gapps. Google made a change once regarding it and I know this because I am using the Aroma installer.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] robroyz:

I had the same problem with setup with this version - did the same. Restored a TWRP backup :(
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] 3dxtrip:
Please some hints about an issue about the Netflix app.

I don't have the download option in the app, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting and rebooting the tablet, no luck.

Maybe something related with the Gapps (I have the mini version) since the download option is available only for certified HD capable tablets?

But reading comments from other users in this thread, they have the download option.

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] robroyz:
Just tried your suggestion dirlan2001. Did a full wipe with latest TWRP (v.3.0.2-2). Flashed 20170124 ROM, 20170124 Mini OpenGapps and SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SYSTEMMODE. Then rebooted to system. Still had the same problem after logging into mu wifi - going to the "checking for updates" and returning to the wifi page. Pressing the next arrow goes onto the making a few checks page and then onto the "checking for updates" and cycling back ad-infinitum. Just downloading the "stock" version of OpenGapps now and will try that later. If that fails I will give up with this release and go back to aosp_v500-eng.adrianomartins-20170115. Never experienced this problem before. Have ALWAYS managed a full install even if I did have the wifi issue which the wifi.zip file fixed. Frustrated. :(

UPDATE: Worked with Stock Gapps . . . then realised that MINI is bigger than MICRO and dirlan2001 clearly stated MINI or above Doh! Oh well if nothing else I can confirm that STOCK Gapps works fine :)

I can confirm that some apps do indeed see the SD card as storage (Netflix does not somehow, but I can live with that). Please test this with other apps as well. Gapps package from today is also good.

Edit: It appears Netflix does not have the download option at all on our G Pad. So the issue with apps not seeing SD card should be fixed for any other apps. I will see how I can fool Netflix into letting me download stuff on our G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeremywh7:
I've had this running since yesterday w/ the 26 Jan openGapps and SU 2.78 System; no wifi issues at all. I haven't used the SD card with apps, but I've also had no issues with it at all. Months ago I would rarely get messages about it being corrupt or unmounted. No issues in a long time though.

Hi guys....this can be a stupid question, but I'm new to Nougat.... when in landscape mode, where/how can I access my apps besides the one's in the home screens?!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
What launcher are you using? If it the stock one, Pixel, just swipe up from the Home button.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ViCioPT:
Stock one.

That works in portrait mode, but not in landscape!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woozle:
Good question! I hadn't tried, but you're right. There's a little arrow at the bottom left of the screen, which is similar to the one that appears in the middle in portrait, but I can't get it to do anything.

Must be a bug, surely?

V500. Don't think twice
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] BigM69:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] khaotik:
OK, so I clean flashed everything nicely, and the WiFi drops are still happening. Sometimes the WiFi works OK, but sometimes it keep trying to connect and then dropping the connection, until it finally connects. I have no idea about what to do. I think ill rollback to my previous MM ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] paalpet:
The 2016-12-10 version works great for me, even without the WiFi-patch. I like this better than MM. I think I will use this until WiFi is confirmed stable. With the WiFi-patch (v2) it is still stable and seems to me the battery drain on idle is better too.

Battery issue with 20170126

I decided to try nougat on my V500 and installed this rom couple of days ago (fresh clean install from Dirty Unicorns). I did nano gapps and few of my apps installed, nothing fancy. It seems to be working fine but I observed couple of issues:

- battery drain is horrible, it discharged to 50% in less than one day just sitting there with no activity. It looks like Android OS is keeping it 100% awake, see attached pictures.

- once when I woke it up after a long seep it started acting extremely slow, clicking on power button it took ~5 seconds to show anything on screen. Trying to start any app (even Settings) blanked screen for few seconds before starting the app. Generally felt extremely sluggish, eventually thing started moving at normal speed.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
For some strange reason, WiFi started playing up in latest build. After applying Wifi-v2.zip all went back to normal. Any one else ?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ViCioPT:
Could some one confirm if this is a bug or if there is some hidden way of accessing the app drawer when in landscape?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] briminator:
This is actually not a bug. You must have installed a version of Open Gapps that has the Google Pixel launcher included. When you are in landscape, the navbar covers the arrow, but the navbar is transparent. It is best to use the Google Now Launcher which is probably also included in the version of Gapps you have. You'll actually find if that you change the display size (in the "Display" section of settings) to "large" or above, it will change the system UI to a phone, which makes the arrow work perfectly. This is a limitation of Nougat and not a bug.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sultan.khan.x:
I had similar problem turns out it was a live wallpaper was causing it. After switching to something else and a reboot it was back to normal but still sometimes it runs weird now and then.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] paalpet:
I haven't tried the latest since I had problems with all builds after december-build. So the WiFi patch works on all the builds and makes the final build stable? How is you battery drain on idle?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
Look at the apps that consumed the most battery. The Rom is not to blame, I went through a lot of versions and I never had such severe battery drain unless an app was to blame (or a bad SD card).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] paalpet:
Not sure I fully agree. I didn't have as severe drainage as explained by some, but stable drainage of about 20% a day without using the tablet and not caused by any apps according to battery info. In my case this improved a lot with the WiFi-patch. If this is a coincidence and caused by some app, at least I am sure it didn't show on battery info. Charging time also improved a lot.

Not sure if related, but I have also experienced strange battery drainage with stock Nougat on my Nexus 5X, both 7.0 and 7.1.1. But this have been more periodically and random occurrences of up to 50% in a few hours - but still not explainable by battery info. This improved a lot and seems stable again with the latest January build.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
So far, overnight no drain to soeak off. Screen off, WiFi on (no connection) just 2%... that's from 22.00 hrs, until this morning 08.45 hrs. Besides, I never had any issue with the battery.

Only complaint as usual : touchscreen is lagging

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woozle:
When Facebook changed something recently and caused the sudden battery drain for everyone using their Android app(s), it didn't show up in battery info either, so it is somehow possible for that to happen, unfortunately.

Is there any chance of the google play edition palman v510 being supported?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] paalpet:
I dirty flashed the latest build over december build, gapps stock from today and WiFi v2. Seems as smooth as before and tried turning on and off WiFi (which usually gave me problems right away) and this worked now. Have to wait to se if WiFi still have problems after sleep. I never had any touchscreen lagging with any of these roms - but sometimes experienced "flickering" screen both on videos and for a few seconds in UI with MM-roms.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

I agree, I know that is possible and it would explain a lot.

I didn't care to test enough to be a 100% sure, but in my case I don't use the Facebook app, and I tried with no other apps than stock gapps and I am pretty sure the WiFi v2 improved battery on my v500.

Anyway, strangely I never had any other WiFi problems up until the builds from january - but I have learned from the posts here this also might be related to the frequency used.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeremywh7:
Same here...

The last flashable wifi zip from adriano was wifi.zip; which is what I've been using to fix these issues. wifi_v2.zip has several config differences plus a driver: WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin
