Is it true that installing Lollipop will lock the bootloader? Unlocking the bootloader afterwards means a phone reset....

Read this on some other forums.

Xposed and TB are they still incompatible with ART and hence Lollipop?
[Nexus 7 General] lactasoyiue:
I'm not sure but i installed Lollipop . It's not have a problem about bootloader just it re-stock recovery only :D
[Nexus 7 General] Mikey:
Why would the bootloader lock, if its already unlocked??

Unless theres a new bootloader in the update......then it should inform you to copy your data onto an exterior HD or sdcard

Xposed and many including TB will take a while to update to the new version. Typical.

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

--- FYI : I purposefully didn't flash userdata as I wanted to see how it boots up with all my existing apps.

It's booting as I type this as it's been over 10 minutes already as it has to convert 125 apps to ART mode. Let's see what happens ;)

Edit: Success! It booted fine with all my existing apps converted to 5.0. Awesome! No FC so far on all my apps and that is great. Enjoy!

With the changes to the SELinux kernel module, is it necessary to flash a modified boot.img in order to root the Nexus 7 (2012)?

I'm aware that Chainfire has found it necessary to modify the kernel for the Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 5, but I'm unable to find anything for the 2012 N7. Now that the LP factory image is out I'm anxious to update, but only if it can be rooted.

EDIT: Well, from what I just saw someone post in another thread, it appears that a modified kernel is indeed required. Hopefully we "old" N7 users won't be forgotten. ;)

[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Hi, all...

I fastboot flashed this a few hours ago, and notwithstanding one or two minor hiccups during the fastboot flash process, everything seems to be running okay... having spent a few hours tinkering with it, I'm reasonably impressed with it.

Having never bothered with the ported version of the preview version of Android L, this is my first exposure to Lollipop... it all seems to be very bright/white and pastel colored, as opposed to the dark hues of Holo. Not really seen any sign yet of the cool Material Design animations which I've read about.

-----

However, a couple of things puzzle me...

Every article I've read about Android 5.0 indicates two things...

1) The default runtime environment will be ART (Android Run Time), instead of Dalvik.

2) Lollipop will enable Default Device Encryption... that is the to say the device will be encrypted by default, without any input from the user.

-----

Neither of these seem to have happened on my grouper/nakasi Nexus 7, having fastboot flashed the above leaked build of nakasi-lrx21p-factory-93daa4d3.tar.

See attached thumbnail screen shots for details...

My Nexus 7 is still, seemingly, running Dalvik and it's still unencrypted.

I'm not unduly concerned about either, to be honest.... just that I found it odd and worth mentioning.

-----

Anyhow... my next task is to root it, which I understand involves flashing a modified boot.img., in order for Chainfire to work correctly.

Cheers all:).

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 General] generationgav:
Thanks - No Internet at home at the minute so will just wait for the OTA as won't be able to play properly anyway.

I was led to believe that LP will only run Dalvik and in addition the Nexus 7 (gen 1) wouldn't run ART at all as the processors didn't support it. I therefore fully believed we wouldn't be getting LP. Seems that we might be getting LP but only running Dalvik?
[Nexus 7 General] pjcons:
Long first reboot

Wow it took a LONG time to reboot the first time. I was starting to get worried, it was like 10 minutes. "Android is upgrading" now. :)

As Borat would say, "I am very excite!!"
[Nexus 7 General] tvisforme:
My understanding is that ART is the default/only option for Android 5. As for the 2012 N7, mine has been running on ART with Kitkat (CM11) for a long time now.
[Nexus 7 General] Spiceworm:
How is the responsiveness of L on the old nexus 2012? CM11 Kitkat was very laggy for me.

update: wiping the cache partition made the kitkat nexus very snappy again!
[Nexus 7 General] generationgav:
How did you change that? I don't have the select runtime option under Developer Options.
[Nexus 7 General] nariwing:
I checked lib folder, there are libart.so, libart-compiler.so, libart-disassembler.so(used in ART) and no libdvm.so(used in dalvik). So basically, our nexus 7 should work with ART.

and...

Why Google doesn't use 3.4.X kernel? Kernel date is august and still 3.1.10 (Nexus 9 is october. 3.10.40)

I have searched and tried everything I can find to fix it with no luck so far. It does seem a bit snappier at least.

Lollipop installed fine on my 32GB Nexus 7 2013 and have it on a galaxy nexus phone, that doesn't have service.

I ended up doing quite a few wipes/resets. Locked and unlocked the bootloader after seeing that had fixed a similar problem for some.

This happened on my wife's Nexus 4 when 4.4 first rolled out - flashed the factory image and was greeted with only 8gb instead of the 16gb that was supposed to be there.

Solution: after flashing full image, boot device, perform factory reset, and the "missing" storage should reappear.
[Nexus 7 General] Dmtalon:
Is this a bug or just how it works. Is the factory image just built on an 8gb nexus 7? If you do the flash manually and just leave out the flash userdata.img the space is ok.
[Nexus 7 General] Winesnob:
No idea, just know that it solved my nexus 4 problem.
[Nexus 7 General] KookyGuy:
I have done this 5 or so times and still is this way.

I have flashed twrp to see if something in it could help. Under wipe on it, if I try to select "internal memory" to wipe or fix it gives an error.

[Nexus 7 General] TJCacher:
To those experiencing severe lag on the Nexus 7 with a flashed Lollipop factory image, can you determine if your device is running with encryption or not? Given the latest reports on AP about the performance cost of encryption on the N6, I am wondering if the factory flash forces encryption even on the older, much slower 2012 N7s, thus bringing performance to its knees.

Download the factory image from Google's Nexus server. You can find the link via search. Boot into recovery (fastboot) & install the stock recovery & boot.img files via fastboot.

Then sideload the OTA using a newer version of ADB that supports the sideload command.

You will not lose root or have any issues unles you have a non-stock rom that is missing the music2 or youtube odex files.

Easy Peasy.
[Nexus 7 General] portage:
does anyone know how to revert to 4.1.1 from 4.2.1? I read that 4.1.1 has the best battery life.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
That's heavily debatable. In fact, I would say it's completely BS and you're taking overly subjective comments too seriously. About half the people are reporting 4.2.1 has worse battery life, and the other half are reporting it's actually better. In my case, with my 3G unit, I went from 4.2 to 4.2.1 and had no noticeable changes. Certain things like Maps was causing more wakes, so I disabled it's automatic GPS searching in the background. I can go days without a charge now, even with casual use. I might lose 5-10% in a 24 hour period with zero active use. So 4.2.1 is perfectly fine for me.

BUT, if you really want to revert back to 4.1.2, you can do so easily by download the full image from Google:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

Untar, unzip and flash the system, bootloader, boot and recovery (if you want stock recovery) packages. Do NOT use the -w flag or flash userdata, otherwise you will wipe your sdcard.
[Nexus 7 General] portage:
Well I use my N7 for pdf reading, watching movies, etc. and I lose like 10% in 30 minutes from streaming on the AOSP browser... You said you lose 5 - 10% in 24 hours from no use which is still pretty bad imo.

Also, I tried 4.1.2 and it was no good. The battery status indicated that the tablet idle mode took like 60%...
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
10% in 30 minutes? That means you're getting about 300 minutes (5 hours) of battery life out of the device in active usage. Keep in mind that the biggest drain for the device is the screen - and the biggest screen power usage color is white. I imagine most of your PDFs are black text on a 95%+ white background? 5 hours sounds about right. If your reader can invert black/white, you'll probably get a lot more life out of the battery.

And IMHO, 5-10% in 24 hours on standby is not bad. Remember, I have the 3G model, which means it's not only connected to my wi-fi router, but the cell tower as well. And I have it sync'ing my email, facebook, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] portage:
I didn't know about white using more power. I will try and see if that helps. Will setting a black background on the home screen help as well?
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
The whiter the screen, in all cases, the more power the tablet is consuming. I don't know the exact percentage difference between black and white, and all the colors in between, but I do know it can result in a significant impact to the battery. Think about it this way - screen don't generate all the colors you see, they use pixels that are either red, green, blue or black (off). The strength of each (ie: power) and combination in conjunction with eachother is what determines the "color" we see. Combine all those pixels together, and we get a nice image. Black is 0,0,0 for RGB. 100% pure white is usually 256,256,256 RGB. This is how manufacturers talk about how a display is capable of 16.7 million colors (ie: 256x256x256). The higher the number, the more power it takes to make that pixel brighter. Thus, having a display that is pure white will result in all the pixels on the display at full power. Adjusting the brightness level will result in less power, but you're still pushing each pixel at full RGB to create white.

So yes, in general, the darker the background/images/etc. on your screen, the less power consumption the screen is using.

i've always liked inverted themes and apps, even just for the fact that i find them more stylish and much easier to look at in dark lighting. has anyone found some good inverted apps to use on this device? rujelus22 has a pretty great collection here:
