Bring features press 2 times to open up the Nexus 7 machine with kernel
Bring features press 2 times to open up the Nexus 7 machine with kernel
Click 2 times to open the machine is a pretty new feature and convenient, especially for a large tablet screen as Nexus 7. However, the Nexus 7 2013 by default does not have this feature, to get it, you have several ways, such as installing additional software support, or rather would have built another kernel. Myself kernel support rather than because of stability, as well as better performance is due to software support. As shown in this article I will talk to the kernel ElementalX, Nexus 7 version for 2013.

In addition to bringing feature click 2 times to open the screen as they slipped to unlock many features or the other. Details of opening off-screen:
Refer to details ElementalX here: xda-developers.
2 times more features click on the screen to open the screen
Slide from right to left hand side of the screen (virtual keyboard area) to turn off the screen
Slide from left to right hand side of the screen (virtual keyboard area) to open the screen

Fix fans running at full in Arch Linux vanilla Kernel 3 18 and up
Fix fans running at full in Arch Linux vanilla Kernel 3 18 and up
So, the other day I was tinkering with a fresh Arch installation and the very first issue that I ran into was my fan was rotating at full blast even though there was now processor load at all. While looking for a solution I was surprised to find that there were no actual solutions on the internet to these. I followed the path of "Fan speed control" in Arch Linux wiki and but no luck. Then I installed powertop
UPDATE: Apparently this did not bring the crazy fan speeds down. After some browsing around, I hit a thread in the ArchBang forums where it became pretty apparent that recent Kernel changes in 3.18 have triggered the issue and still has not been resolved. So, I had to downgrade to 3.17.6 which I did by following a well written guide here. What I basically did was
a. Went to the Arch official package database
b. Located the Linux package
c. On the upper right Package Section of the page, click on View Changes. There I located an earlier version, in this case upgpkg: linux 3.17.6-1
d. Located the revision number from the line that is like "file:///srv/svn-packages@177020". Thats the revision number after the @, it might be anything. e. Then to compile 3.17.6, did the following in the terminal. CAUTION: This process might take several hours, took me around 4 hours to compile the kernel

Then I ran
pacman -S powertop
Used Tab to navigate to the "Turntables" area. Then changed the states of all "Bad" to "Good" as many as possible. Saved using "Esc" and then reboot. It worked :)

This will install the new kernel. You might face some dependency issues where it might ask for 3.18. I removed those packages. Rebooted the PC and it was fixed.
cd ~/Downloads
mkdir linux-kernel && cd linux-kernel
svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages
cd packages
svn update -rlinux
cd linux/trunk/
makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.xz
