ADB Method​

This is for people with ADB set up already. This does not teach you how to set up ADB.​

1) Boot into your bootloader.

2) Place the file thats in the zip into your folder where you have your adb setup. Located in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\

3) Open Command Prompt and type:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

(or where you have adb setup might be different than what I have posted)

4) In adb and type the following:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nexus 7 Toolkit Method*​

*Mskip's toolkit​

i) Install toolkit + Tablet Drivers

ii) Download Bootloader and place in:

C:\Google Nexus 7 ToolKit\put_img_files_to_flash_here

iii) Boot into bootloader and connect the device, make sure that in the toolkit it shows your device connected under the fastboot section at the top.

1) Open Toolkit and select "

Boot or Flash .img Files to Device

"

2) Then you need to type out the file name "

bootloader-grouper-3.34.img

"

3) Select the option to "

Flash [Flashes to tablet Permanently]

"

4) Select the option "

Bootloader

"

5) Type "

Yes

" and it will flash the bootloader to your device.

after updating to 2.2, my bottom bar becomes thick...i can't get it as skinny as I what I had (old 160 was skinnier, less space)

also, what is this bootloader everyone talking about?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] .torrented:
everybody is talking about the 3.41 bootloader but some people are experiencing extreme difficulty with it. I for one cannot get it to work properly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] darthchilli:
Has anyone taken the attempt and loaded up gmail4.2 onto their N7 with this rom?

just scared to screw up anything before I attempt it.

I will be doing this when I get home later anyways, but curious if anyone has taken a dive at it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
The only problem I'm having with it is I have to hold power for 15 seconds to reboot once or twice every other reboot.. once I get rebooted, all is fine...it's just getting past the Google screen can be a pain

At least that's been my experience, so far
[Nexus 7 Original Development] .torrented:
I can't get into recovery at all. Not through adb or reboot menu or any app that allows it to reboot to recovery. I can't boot from bootloader to recovery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
Re-flash recovery from adb while in fastboot (bootloader). I recommend ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.0 Official for the Nexus 7. Many fine tutorials on this out there

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mvmacd:
Does anyone know if this would work with this rom:

http://mehrvarz.github.com/otg-power-nexus7.html

It enables OTG + charging, with a Y cable.

Check this post for how it works: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30615-ca...-mode-simultaneously/page__st__20#entry927176

This is an almost-solution for storage, as you can plug in a micro SD card or USB HDD & charge at the same time.

I would love to see this implemented into CM10 and/or this ROM.. what does everyone else think?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Skyrocket2Paradise:
If this rom had more battery icon choices and allow to change the colors of the soft keys (back,home,recent) this rom would be freaking flawless
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Salv0:
3.42? Do you mean 3.41 or I missed something?:D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] El Nino1977:
Faux has it included in his kernel, from what I remember you do a simple echo line to switch it on or off.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wizgnome:
What sort of problems? It seems to work, although I get a lot of buffering and network problems at times - which I had put down to my poor internet connection.

How to change battery icon? There's some working mod?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
For me 3.41 did solve the problem of not been able to go to recovery if I booted from bootloader, however now my PC (windows 7 x64) does not recognize the device in bootloader mode, so I am not able to reach it via Adb or fastboot mode, thus I cannot flash right now any image file from the PC , only zip files within recovery. I tried re-installing Google USB drivers, uninstalling them first, tried different methods and different versions of the drivers but still no luck. Funny enough it does recognize my Nexus when PA 2.2 ROM is completely up and running, thus I am able to see the internal memory content, but not in bootloader mode. Any suggestion/ideas anyone?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
Anyone?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] El Nino1977:
Only guessing a kernel problem, have you tried a different kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keitaro:
Settings -> System -> Status bar -> Battery Status Style

...and then you can choose from the default icon, percentage or none.

There are probably some flashable zips for other battery icon styles but I haven't look for them as I just stick to default icon style.

I bought nexus 7 yesterday and i flash paranoid 2.2 only half hour later..i dont like stock roms ,everything run perfect but i am little confuse with this 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 thing so if can any one told me what kernel with cpy gpy overclock i can install now with p2.2

[Nexus 7 Original Development] El Nino1977:
Plenty of good kernels around, take your pick...

Get better antivirus, I use avira, its very lightweight and you can personalize the sensitivity to get rid of most false-positives.

Free helps too. lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bwassef:
if you are coming from another rom, then yes. wipe everything. But if you are already running PA and just want to update to the newest version, you dont have to
[Nexus 7 Original Development] yukkio:
Horn performance is horrible. Anyone?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah you don't wipe cache and dalvik after flashing a zip. If its recommended wipe and flash then cache/dalvik/flash. If full wipe is recommended, format system/wipe data,cache, and dalvik then ROM and gapps

If we reboot system after doing a system format instead of flashing a new rom then will the ROM as well as CWM be lost?

No....

If you format system and reboot immediately after it won't boot because the rom has been wiped.

You could always install a theme from the play store, or if you have Rom toolbox or theme chooser it's easier to find themes for whatever Rom you're using. I'm using "goog le bean" and my new fave is "fustercluck" which has words written for the keys ("home, back, recent") They also change the Wi-Fi icon and battery....so your best bet is to get "rom toolbox pro", everything is in there, even fonts :)

Any recommended kernels I should use with this rom?

Currently having issues with clemsyn's elite kernel clocking back down to 1300mhz

In recovery, go to mounts and storage and select mount USB storage while plugged in, and it should pop a window right open on your PC, and you can get some cwm flashable zips on there

[Nexus 7 Original Development] azoller1:
I'll post a mirror very soon if goo. im is to slow for any of you
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Really? I am not aware of this, since it is my own personal account on uploaded.to obviously I have full speed limit, so when I try downloading the package it downloads fast. I assumed anyway that non members would have less download speed, yet I never thought it would be as low as 50 Kbyte/sec. I have no way of knowing that, and I get no benefit at all in uploading this package and making it available to others to download, so If the link doesn't help then I am sorry about it, as a community member I try to help, but your words sound demanding to me. I am just a single user of this forum, not an OP and not a developer.

Is there any way to increase the touch area around the clear notifications button because its way to small and I keep opening the settings instead of clearing notification in tablet mode
[Nexus 7 Original Development] powerdoesntrun:
I second this.

I have another minor quibble. If using the button toggles, when you open the notification panel, this white bar flashes for a second at the bottom. It may be some sort of scroll bar, because it also appears when scrolling through buttons. This all assumes you have more toggle buttons than fit in the panel. Although even with just enough buttons to fill the panel, it still does it, which is what makes it really annoying. If it is a scroll bar, it's not necessary and should be removed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Anon1992:
Hi thanks for the rom just flashed it and seems to be really smooth.

Just a quick question. How to resize widget on this launcher?

Thank you :good:

EDIT:

The library widget doesn't seem to work or is it just me?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cubexg:
So I've got everything in place, and it's working well. This includes PA 2.20, the new bootloader as well as the GAPs that was talked about earlier in the thread. The only issues I'm having, is now applications that were working on 2.179 like zagats, and I'm unable to update apps like YouTube or google Music, not sure if this is due to the new Google APs download. Can the old 1 from July still be used? I don't mind re wiping again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fdomi:
Flash either 20120726 gapps or the 20120810 signed packages. The latest ones in September have problems with gmail, youtube and music updates, they can only be updated if you uninstall them with Titanium Backup or System app removal.

So my recommendation is that you flash one of the packages I mentioned before.

Edit: Here is a personal link to the gapps-jellybean-20120810-signed.zip package, I have been using this one after flashing all the PA ROM updates without any problem: http://ul.to/sgzbcz2z

You can can use the HDPI one...

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

I think most of those kernels ran 4.1.1 and pa is now 4.1.2 Franco must have updated his to run on 4.12 ...I'm sure they will be updating soon 4.1.2 has not been out that long...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] powerdoesntrun:
Are you using the button toggles and not the switch toggles? Do you have 7 or more buttons enabled?

Can anyone recomend a good kernel for PA 2.2 ?im using trinity 177 right now and keeps having the "sleep of death"
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TahrirSquare:
Franco
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MoJo:
I did next steps from 2.1799:

rebooted into CWM, flashed JZO54K_bootloader.zip, flashed pa_grouper-2.20-11OCT2012-164502.zip, flashed gapps-jellybean-20120810-signed.zip,

wiped Cache and Dalvik, rebooted into system, rebooted into CWM, flashed grouper-faux123-kernel-v012b6.zip and rebooted again - everything works flawlessly!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] azoller1:
Franco, never had a sod with his kernel on any rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
I just flashed latest Trinity , w/ Trinity its undervolted a lot you gotta raise it a little till it stops. Latest Trinity running fine for me. I had a reboot but its low voltage w Trinity raise and you'll be good.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jay Aristide:
The kernel I would recommend is a kernel I cannot recommend.

These kernels present a clear and present danger to the Android community.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] djricekcn:
Anyone figure out how to make the status bar skinny again...2.2's 160 is a lot thicker than (maybe 1.5 times more thicker) 2.1799 and before's 160 and to me, it looks ugly

You don't have to flash it, only if you want to have the new bootloader. It includes some fixes so it's advised to flash it.

You don´t have to, but with the previous bootloader it didn´t work when trying to boot into recovery. The new one fixes that.

I recommend Franco r22 too. I tried Faux and I got into boot loops no matter what, but everything has been fine and smooth since I flashed Franco's r22 kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dimako83:
I was also (and some other users) not able to boot into recovery after upgrading to the newest bootloader. However, its not consistent and for some people it is completely fine and they can boot into recovery and some people cannot. However, in any case you could later revert to the older bootloader like I did when I understood that whatever I do I cannot boot to recovery with the new bootloader

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I really like Franco but have been suffering from SOD when was using it. switched yesterday to latest Faux 12b6 and woke up to find my N7 with no SOD today :) However, I feel that using faux get my N7 much hotter (didn't try to undervolt yet). Will have to give it a few days to see if I don't get any SOD
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dropback:
Then i guess i am one of the lucky ones.

No problems here at all with the new bootloader. Extracted it from factory image and flashed it some hours ago via fastboot and everything is working as expected.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aalupatti:
For everyone asking for kernels

- Stock kernel has no SOD, is fast and good battery life.

So any reason to switch.

please educate me

Galaxy Note @ mobile
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Apocalypse487:
Did you do a factory reset, wipe both caches and install the bootloader? You have to wipe caches after too just for good measure. I followed DroidModderX's video on YouTube. I installed PA after.

Can you get back into the bootloader?

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

I agree. I couldn’t find a reason to switch. Maybe overclocking, but it runs fine at 1.3Ghz. I installed a kernel on my phone though. It makes a difference.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MontyQ:
OK PA on my gnex I had to do full wipe caouse moles says pre- 2.2.0 do a full wipe all is good

Now I am on PA 2.19 on my n7 the OP says update like normal....why was a full wipe needed on my phone but not stated for tablet ?

thanx for any info
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sinatag:
I ended up starting from scratch and wiping everything. Luckily I didn't lose much. Jus had to download a few apps. I'm back to 2.1799. Still debating on trying to flash again. Just want to make sure I do it right this time. Any suggestions?

Running PA 2.2 w/ faux latest beta kernel and Jay's Recipe for Buttery Goodness

Everything's running fine as far as I can tell except for the Camera app. It locks whenever trying to change the image size in the settings such as SVGA > 720p, etc. After the lock and force closing, reopening the app results in "Can't connect to the camera."
