[ROM-3G] r12 3G (JDQ39 / CM 10.1): MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROM for the Nexus 7 3G

paulobrien · Jan 30, 2013

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom Jelly Bean ROM for the 3G Nexus 7! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.

About MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROMs

MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROMs are based on CyanogenMod nightly ROMs. While a MCR release is designed to feel like a stock ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience and the aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device, a MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROM blends the great tweaks and features of CyanogenMod with the goodness of a MCR to hopefully create a 'best of both worlds'.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!

MCR Nexus ROM features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake:

Based on CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies (the aim is to update the ROM every Friday), updated, rebuilt, compressed and optimised with the MCR build system.

For this MCR we've compiled a CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly build, updated with all the latest versions of the installed apps, which we've run through our scripts to ensure that it is as optimised as possible both for install / download size and real life performance.

De-odexed... re-odexable.

Our ROMs are de-odedex, giving you the ability to flash other mods over the top, tweak the system and generally get the system set up as you want it without worrying about odex issues. We also include the 'OdexMe' application, which lets you odex your system when you're ready, saving valuable space on your data partition.

Click to collapse
Pre-rooted

All MCR ROMs are pre-rooted with SuperSU preinstalled. In addition, the kitchen allows you to choose between secure, insecure and secure with patched ADB boot images.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Apps aren't disabled on boot

Jelly Bean added a feature to disable apps on boot that aren't intended for your region (Wallet, Ears, Magazines etc.). I think we're smart enough to make that decision ourselves right? So that doesn't happen in a MCR.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Legacy Play Store

Isn't it frustrating how Google removed the ability in the Play Store to see which apps you'd bought in a nice simple list? I thought so... so I created 'Legacy Play Store', which has this feature.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Legacy browser and Flash

Google might be ditching the stock browser for Chrome and Adobe might have canned Flash, but we still need to use it sometimes... so it's included in a MCR.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Patched Google Wallet

We've patched Google Wallet to remove all region and root checks, so you can have a play!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Facebook sync support

Google removed all support for syncing contact information via the Facebook app, we put it back. It's basic support (an app like HaxSync is more fully featured) but hey, it works!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Alternative appstores (Amazon and SlideMe Market)

The Amazon and SlideMe stores can be preinstalled, if that's where you like to purchased your wares.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Titanium Backup preinstalled

Once you've flashed your ROM, if you've wiped you want to get your stuff back on as quickly as possible - the option to preinstall Titanium Backup is here to help!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
MoDaCo Boot Logo

Wear your MCR with pride with the MoDaCo boot logo. It can be disabled in the kitchen of course if you prefer the more subtle look.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
And there's more!

We haven't listed everything here because a) there's too much and B) there's things we've forgotten.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

MCR Nexus 7 ROM specific features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake:

NFC on screen off

If you use NFC tags to set profiles or similar, then the option to enable NFC on screen off might appeal to you. Be aware that we haven't benchmarked the impact this may have on battery life as yet though!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Stock Launcher with rotate support, Nova and Apex Launchers as options

The stock launcher, with support for Landscape. So simple! If you're an Apex or Nova fan however, you can choose these to be baked right in to your ROM.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
LatinIME (stock input method) with enhanced layout

For some STRANGE reason Google thinks that if you're on a tablet, you don't want to press - hold keys to get numbers and punctuation. This is silly, we put that functionality back.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Camera Launcher

In their infinite wisdom Google removed the Camera icon from the Nexus 7 - we put it back!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
Disable camera shutter sound

You can disable the camera shutter sound - use responsibly!

Installation

To install this ROM:

Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your sdcard.
Restart your device in recovery mode
PERFORM A BACKUP FROM THE MENU
Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to the internal sd card! Remember that due to the 4.2 user changes, you may need to change to the '0' directory in recovery to find the zip!

If you have problems with Market licencing, check your device date!

First boot may take a while - be patient while it carries out it's pre-dexopt. It's worth it!

Downloads

Please do not mirror these packs elsewhere, I am counting downloads to determine which prebakes are most popular and should be offered in the future.

Prebake downloads

r11 release - DOWNLOAD

Kitchen download

an online kitchen is also available below for subscribers to bake a Custom Custom ROM.

A free prebake is ALWAYS available.

Support

If you have a general question, please post in the topic.

Thanks

It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).

And finally...

Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in the download topic at MoDaCo.

Enjoy!

Re: [ROM-3G] r5 **3G** (CM 10.1): MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROM for the Nexus 7 3G

Interested but I want to ask something.

1. Does this Rom have USB OTG native support? (without need for Stick mount app)
2. Future update is given by OTA system or as a manual download from this thread?
3. Are mms and phone app included? Is there SIP calling support?
4. Does this Rom allows users to change nav bar height, or better yet, turn it off altogether? Expanded desktop option is bad because with it we can't see notifications on status bar.
5. Gapps is included or not?
6. Is wifi tethering feature included? What about bluetooth and usb tethering?
7. Does this Rom wipe all data in my tablet during flashing?

Edit: now I understand the concept of this rom. I like the custom custom rom concept but I can't afford to pay $10 annually for it. Pre bake is nice but there are just too many apps that I don't want, that I consider as bloatwares, pre installed. Hopefully when my financial is stable I can try this rom. Until that time comes, I will try other rom. Thanks

Kitchen updated!

As always, will refresh prebake when kitchen bakers confirm all is well. No wipe required, back up before flashing!

Seriously dude?
Can't afford 10£ a YEAR for an updated Rom, but can afford a Nexus 7??
GTFO

paulobrien · Feb 22, 2013

r7, based on the JDQ39 / 4.2.2 release, is now in the kitchen!

Since this is a COMPLETE rebase, it'd be great if kitchen users could test it before I create the prebake. As always, once everything is confirmed OK, i'll put up the prebake.

Enjoy!

Got my kitchen custom bake, running it with Franco's latest kernel, very fast and stable. :thumbup:

Excellent!

paulobrien · Mar 5, 2013

I've just made a small update to the kitchen - this fixes a FC issue with Play Store services and also adds the Ovivo Mobile APN.

Would anyone be interested in a kitchen option to fix AdBlock again for 4.2.2? This is technically a security hole, but i've had at least one request.
