Had problems with 5.2, Facebook much slower than usual, paid apps not working on 2nd user, email lagging. Restored 5.1 back and everything working really well again, I did a full wipe, anyone else had problems with 2nd multiuser apps? May try and flash again next week but Mrs (as 2nd user) nagging me due to issues on 5.2.A shame, as it looked really good

Thank you for the update. Been waiting for it.
Really smooth and fast as expected. The screen waking issue seems to be handled. But there's a new bug that I'd like to report. Here's a screenshot:

Do you see the 2 tiny white dots at the top right corner of the screen, they're actually navigation buttons. Even though the nav bar is re-orientated to be vertical in Phone mode, the Nav buttons aren't, that's why they are resized to be that tiny. Hope you can fix this.

Same Problem here, i did a factory reset.

Another qustion: where can i change the height etc oft the APP bar, the one above the navigation bar?

You mean the dock? The dock has nothing to do with system settings, it belongs to launcher. I've never used the default launcher for a day in my life so I don't know whether it allows users to configure dock settings or not. But Nova and Apex launcher definitely do. Just try those two, they're filled with features and really smooth, you'll love em.

Is there any way to temporalily unroot the device? I can't find this feature in settings and I really need is because I want to watch TV on my tab and it doesn't allow me when I'm rooted. Ty ;)

Download SuperSU from Play, allow it root access via Superuser, go into Settings, install the app as a System app, reboot the device, open the app again, then uncheck Enable Superuser, close SuperSU, open app of choice, and voilà. I have to do this to watch my UltraViolet videos on the Flixster and Vudu apps.

Forgot to mention, when ready to "reroot", just go back into SuperSU and check "Enable Superuser".

Awesome update James. I'm running your latest with Franco r65 and I'm getting awesome performance and loving all the new features of the latest AOKP base. The ribbons and dark AOKP theme are awesome. Thanks for the update. Got worried when you broke your nexus 7 but glad to see all is well.

Been installed this room with franco kernel and sometimes when I wake the devive, I can not do anything. It seems like the touch screen is not functional. But if I turn the screen off and on again it becomes normal. Does this a room issue or a kernel issue?

Btw, great rooms jamesst

Hi all!

This rom is amazing
i've got one big problem. I tried franco's kernel and lean kernel and with these kernels the battery is very hot.
if i play some games the battery is 35°C and when im just browsing on the internet the battery is about 34°C.
What should i do to reduce the battery's temperature?

I've been trying to flash this ROM for two days now all I get is bootloops after bootloops I've tried with twrp I've tried with cwm nothing works. I've been flashing Roms for a few years now and I've never experienced that before. How did you all do it?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

I dirty flashed via TWRP (yes I know, kill me now) and have yet to experience any issues outside of what's been mentioned. No bootloops at all. I fixed the white line issue by increasing the Status Bar font size to 18dpi and then changed it back. Hasn't been back since. I'll get around to a full wipe when I get home as I currently don't have enough room for a proper nandroid (I'm on vacation with the family).

The question you posed was "How did you all do it? The answer I gave was "I dirty flashed using TWRP..." You asked, I responded. Sounds like someone ate an extra serving of Sugar-Coated A$$holes this morning. Sorry you're having trouble, but the attitude isn't necessary.

Still not helping. If anyone can help rather than diss me, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hmmm have you tried using jromflasher as james recommends? And also do you have the latest bootloader?

Well it looks like you're not wiping properly :p If you have no idea on how to proceed, I recomend you to use JROMFlasher v2 :)

    Installation

    If CWM ask you to 'Disable Recovery Flash' after install, select no ! It will remove the files needed for the init.d support.

    Please do not restore a 'system' data backup as it would overwritte some important files

    Easy Way

    • Use JROMFlasher (Click here) to wipe your data, flash custom recovery, upload my ROM

    Hard Way

    • Require Custom Recovery
    • Copy the ROM to the root of your SDCard (/sdcard).
      - You can copy/paste it from Windows Explorer.
      - You can download the ROM from your device. It will be generally located in /sdcard/downloads
      - You can use ADB : 'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/' for Windows and Mac/Linux : './adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/'
    • Boot into Recovery
    • Wipe all cache and userdata
    • Flash the ROM from custom Recovery

    I have been working on it secretly since a while now! It works pretty flawless to me as today! :) There are very few bugs that should be fixed soon. I am not done merging SmoothdROM v5.2 optimisations and I also found new optimisations that could be done including a huge one :)
