*** Disclamer
This is a development ROM expect bugs i do try to find all the bugs before uploading but if you find some don't be suprised
I am not responsible for any devices getting bricked, flash this at your own risk
WARNING: This will wipe everything on /system and /cache
Introduction
Hi all,
This is for both Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi/LTE deb/flo
Please note KaosDroid is tested on the Nexus 7 (2012) grouper and soon will be tested on Nexus 7 (2013) flo
Based on AOSPAL, as always KaosDroid will be compiled from source, I sometimes do add features from other sources, just post on G+ if you want something adding.
This ROM is based around my needs with a little extra.
This ROM is not only based around my needs, its also built around the community's needs. In the past if they have asked for something to be included or changed in the ROM it has been done.
I have made my own GAPPS and its placed in the gapps directory of my goo.im folder. Its not that much different from the one that AOSPA has, It Includes all the common Google Apps and some extras. It is updated every time i upload a new ROM making sure that all the gapps are up to date.
I dont mind any critism at all as long as its constructive, any ideas are also welcome!

FAQ
Some of these questions have never been asked but if youv'e thought of them or ever wondered why, here they are
Q: Why is this ROM so big when others are about 120MB in size?
A: CyanogenMod alone is 220MB. When you add all my options it gets quite large, e.g. Launchers, Browsers, Kernels and Tweaks, e.g. True Tablet UI, Stock Nav Bar, Alternative Themes, then there's apps like Adobe Flash, BBC iPlayer and a root file explorer.
Q: Have you thought of cutting the size of your ROM down by removing apps such as Flash Player and the root file explorer?
A: I have, But then it means side loading or re-downloading them, possibly setting permissions and alot more time to set up the ROM as you want it, plus its easier to have it all in one place, saves on backup storage, and if you don't want them, don't select them, thats why the options are there.
Q: Why have you changed your base from AOSP to CyanogenMod?
A: Basically CyanogenMod has fixes when it comes to bugs, loopholes and security issues, whereas AOSP doesn't have as many, its not updated as frequent, and doesn't have the CM team behind it!
Q: Can you add support for "this" or add "that" mod?
A: Yes, its usually not an issue, post the request in the thread or pm me, i will add the request to the OP, and add it in the next update, unless its slightly more complicated like gesture support, this will take time and therefore will be added a few versions later.
Q: Why so many releases so often?
A: Simple version: I lost my job and i like to learn
Not so simple version: With Android there is and always will be updates, fixes, customisations and mods that i and the community would like. I try to keep on top of these adding them in and updating regulary to keep the ROM up-to-date, also you get requests, so you add them and release the update, it keeps the community happy and your ROM up-to-date with the latest fixes and customisations that everyone wants.
Q: Why is there some bugs in almost every version?
A: Bugs are like rats, your never more than 10 feet away from one of them (10 lines of code in this case), there are going to be bugs in every ROM no matter how good the developer is. For example, in V3.6/3.6.1 there was an issue with the lockscreen not saving shortcuts, this was an issue with my ROM and any other ROM based on CM for that matter, i cannot help this, it is a CM issue, i have bugs and fixes to deal with that are on my side of the work, if i have time then yes, i will have a look at the issue try to fix it and if i do pass the findings on to the deleloper(s). Also remember that ROM's are always under development, even stable releases.
Q: What make Kaos Droid so special?
A: Besides me? The COMMUNITY! Kaos Droid was originally based around my needs and customisations and what i want. Not only that but the community has a lot of input in Kaos Droid, if they ask for a MOD, customisation or support for something it gets added which also makes the rom perfect for their needs, Kaos Droid started of as a small ROM the community spoke and the community got, its as simple as that.
Q: Why are you including requests from the community for somthing you don't or might not use?
A: Simple there are people/users out there that either don't know how or dont have the time to build a cusom ROM, and why not include the requests 99% of the time i actually use them, i have not had one request yet that i haven't used or thought it shouldn't be included.
Q: What's you aim for Kaos Droid?
A: That's easy: reliability, speed, customisation and hopefully being the best
Q: What made you decide to start building a custom ROM?
A: I liked the work other Dev's were doing and what they achived, so I thought to myself if they can do it so can I.

Great job! Love all the customizations. Running smoothly for me

Reading the credits list above, I see you have Turbo Boost credited. Does that mean it is built into the rom? I remember some issues when I used to run that on my Sensation, once the alloted space in the partitions was used up, the phone would lag big time. Don't know if that is the same situation here. It worked well before the space was used, but after a short time, would lag. I remember having to adjust swappiness values, swap space etc, but never really found the sweet spot. Anyway, just curious.

This should be in development forum, even AOSPAL is rated as unofficial PA.
Also, just want to notify that most of the ROM stuff here is based on my work. I'm currently maintaining almost all of AOSPAL repo is in the source.
By the way, good work OP. Hoping the best for you. You can ask me if you need help.

I would urge Anyone reading this post to give this rom a try! . Boot time 5 seconds and when you wipe dalvic cache / cache you watch how fast it rebuilds once boot up completes, I have never used a rom with this speed seriously.

Thanks for the Info, i assume that i would need to get a Moderator to move this thread, also i will add you to the credits as most of this is your work, and thankyou, if it wasn't for you mainating the AOSPAL source this ROM wouldn't be as good, i liked the PA rom's but the AOSPAL fitted better for what i was looking to get on my device, and then there was a few things missing like ActiveDisplay (which i also wanted) so i decide to create this rom working from the AOSPAL sources
Thanks for the kind words, i will let you know if i need any help

Oddly after goo finished 'preparing my download' (at which point u get a toast message saying 'download started') I was taken to a 'this webpage cannot be displayed message' so I commented that the link wasn't working but then later upon checking my download folder KD GApps was there... so idk might have had smthg to do with the syncing... and sorry I just hadn't had time to report back to let u kno... but anyway I'm takn ur ROM for a spin... I'll report back after running it for a little while... thanks for ur work and for your quick response to my false alarm haha... (thanks button x 1000)

I will look into the CPU freq.
Yes if you install GAPPS the following happens (or should happen wip):
AOSP Browser -> Replaced by Chrome Browser
AOSP Calendar -> Replaced by Google Calendar
AOSP Email + Exchange -> Replaced by Gmail
AOSP Gallery -> Replaced By Google Photos
AOSP MMS/ Messaging --> replaced by Google Hangouts (needs to be activated)
if you want to retain any of these apps look in your sdcard/storage location for a file containing the word gapps in the name open it up and change the default values from true to false
Hope this helps, if you need anymore help let me know

This looks pretty cool! Downloading now, will be the first custom ROM on my Nexus 7 (have tried many on my phones/Nooks).
Does it make sense for GMail to replace the generic email client? I don't think so.
Does installing your GAPPS package give you anything that you wouldn't get just installing the apps from the play store?
Easy to turn autohide navbar on for all full screen apps?

I prefer AOSP email to gmail... His gapps include faceunlock and photosphere, which don't come from the play store. You can always remove gaps you don't need after you've installed the package and booted the ROM, or before if you edit the gapps .zip yourself... Immersive mode is part of android 4.4, but only some apps take advantage of the immersive mode functionality/code. Hope that helps.
