Root [Custom ROM] Howard ROM (v1.5 4.4.4) - Nexus 7 2013

[h0ward]

Googles fine now. And the twrp thing I'm still working on but I'm good. I had to reflash the kernel a couple times. It was crashing on 1.9 GHz for me. Seems pretty stable so far on 1.836 ghz. Although it restarts my tablet sometimes. I'm gonna give it a day or two to come around. Thanks for the replies and the kernel, though.

If you check out the screenshots link I have a quadrant standard screenshot of my nexus 7 with the kernel installed @1.94GHz.

Also if everyone wants to know when the next update will come out it will be a little after cm11 M6 is released. The M's are the most stable builds available and they have many of the new features, but if the is a nightly build and it has something new in it, I will try and get to making an updated version and I will let you guys know that it can be buggy (nightly)

Hope you guys have amazing battery life and performance with your nexus's!

If I update to the new version, will the kernel still work?

You will need to flash it after ROM and gapps again. So flash update then gapps then kernel. All should work then. The big thing in the update is new custom lockscreen wallpaper. Look at screenshots for new things.

Thank you for the suggestion. I had no idea people liked this rom so much. I have decided to not add a donate button. But thanks for the support!

Hey Everyone! Guess what you guys get today?! 4.4.3 with all of the awesomeness of my ROM! It will be up in about an hour! Let me know if you guys like it!

quick question...not if its because of the kernel or what wrong but is there any particular reason why my video streaming lags now? sometimes i'll be watching a video (actually it happens all the time) and i have to pause it or rewind it a little to make it work properly. and it force closes on me, too...pretty often. it happens whenever i stream videos. it never used to happen before. its happens with youtube, showbox, mxplayer, and sometimes netflix. my connection is fine (wifi) and i have a really good dual-broadband router...its like top of the line. any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

I never updated to v1.3.1. I want to update my tablet to your v1.4. Do I have to update to v1.3.1 before I update to v1.4?

 

[h0ward]

I'm not sure with the video lag.. I will look at mine and see if it is happening to me. But it could be your internet? Not sure. And you can update right to v1.4

Thanks for getting back to me. Another thing, am I able to use any other themes for your ROM? Or is it just the 2 that came with it for now? Thanks again.

 

[h0ward]

You can use any themes that are compatible with cm11

Alright guys. I have a little dilemma.. I'm not sure if I want to give you guys an unstable update but with android 4.4.3/4.4.4 or wait till L.. I'm also thinking about making a ROM based off of android L.. I could give you guys L before its even released. But I need some support guys. This will be the first time building a full ROM from files I can get in android L... Let me know guys. Thanks for all of the support you have given me so far!

 

[velezbo630]

How much we talking?

 

[h0ward]

Hah I don't need money you guys. I just want to make the experience of my ROM great for all of you

 

[velezbo630]

Good man...you have my support.

As the saying goes...if its free, then its for my nexus 7.

I've noticed that when I play certain games (Walking Dead, Smash Hit, among a few others) they force close. These games are said to work on nexus 7 without issues but I can't seem to get them to stop force closing. Is it the ROM or kernel causing these problems? How can I fix this? Thank you.
