I suppose you are on linux, so...

sudo adb start-server
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Rafase282:
Here is the file.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
That is weird, everything looks okay, besides the fact that it does nothing. Can you show me what does these commands return while in recovery?

ls -la /data
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/roms
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/roms/Ubuntu
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/roms/Ubuntu/root
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
This multi rom project that Tassadar has brought us is in itself a wonderful accomplishment. However, since this is the key device for ubuntu builds, it is greatly helping the cause. Not many were running ubuntu as a standalone due to os limitations. Since multi rom has been created, much more is getting done on the ubuntu front due to the increase of users. I will not hijack this thread, but anyone wanting to try out some workarounds for a few of the common ubuntu limitations, I can post them if you like. They include r/w ability for usb drives, accessing your internal android os files from within ubuntu, bluetooth device pairing and obex file transferring between them, in both directions and a few others. This multi rom has given us the ability to use ubuntu in a much more feasible and practical manner. We can now help each other get the most out of it and help along development.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ChemicalSymphony:
AWESOME! Thanks for letting me know.

Can that img be put on a grouper?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
To my knowledge, yes. The guys over at rootzwiki are using it on thier n7's which are car installs.

"What do you tell a man with two black eyes? Nothing. He has already been told twice."
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yeah, Kookie_Monster? asked me about that, and I was wondering how hard it would be to do and how fast it would be.

Actually, 1280x800 theme is used for landscape orientations, and that theme is made for 10in tablets with lower DPI than Nexus 7 has, so it is smaller. I don't plan to do anything about that.

Dees_Troy wants to use the rotation patch, but he's not sure in which form yet - and I want to wait for him to decide (means next TWRP version) what exactly does he want to do with it.

PS: Today I tried to hook up the rotation to accelerometer, it works pretty well)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kookie_Monster:
Hey guys!! :)

Huh... I wonder how hard it would be for someone like me to make a custom theme for it...! I mentioned that aspect but it actually doesn't bother me much. It's not like any of us will be using recovery everyday, right? I might just be happy with the way it is right now!

PS: nice video Tasssadar! :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ChemicalSymphony:
Some of us flashaholics use it every day :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kaiyes:
What video?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kookie_Monster:
Yeah... but we're doing car installs. Somehow I don't think flashing a new file everyday would be nice! lol

Check the question mark right after my nickname on Tasssadar's last post! :)

AROMA?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if i could use AROMA roms with multirom...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CreepyE:
Yes you can
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mordeith:
quickly becoming a "flashaholic"

Ill admit to not reading all150+ pages as of yet,but wanted to thank all the testers, and more importantly the writer of this ..:silly: That being said has anyone made a list of roms that work (outa the box so to say)(or ones to avoid ):cyclops: im slowly becoming a flashaholic(is there a group for that)..again thanks...

[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Ubuntu for nexus 7. There are links in the op to the download, as well as how to install it via multiboot. I recommend you get 13.04 (raring), as 13.10 (saucy) is still pretty rough.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blmvxer:
I really crave a Gnome 3 experience on a tablet. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Franzferdinan51:
It's really laggy
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chiikko561:
What's pretty laggy 13.04 or 13.10 like rebel said
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chiikko561:
I love this mod booting Ubuntu 13.04 now
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chiikko561:
So I been using the Ubuntu on my nexus for the last couple hours and its not the speediest but it does work well and I enjoy using it with my Bluetooth mouse
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mordeith:
was referring to the ones that are better suited for some ,than others..no biggie..still testing and tinkering withe them..overall its an awesome idea to be able to do this, :good:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Spatinator:
Could someone please provide me the boot.img (not a flashable zip) of the 4.1.2 kernel ?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
cant you pull it out of the zip file yourself?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] FitAmp:
Download the zip, extract it and the boot.IMG should be in there

Edit: I was wrong, the zip only contains the zimage
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Spatinator:
Yeah i know, that's why i asked for the image...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Rhian:
This one? (Pulled from image-nakasi-jzo54k.zip)

FYI nakasi-jzo54k-factory-973f190e.tgz contains:

- bootloader-grouper-3.41.img

- image-nakasi-jzo54k.zip

- flash-all.bat

- flash-all.sh

- flash-base.sh

image-nakasi-jzo54k.zip holds:

Hi,

is there any way to nandroid backup a rom which is not the main one ?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Not currently, but I think tass has plans to add that ability.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Franzferdinan51:
Let me know how it turns out please I'm interested in this
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blmvxer:
I'll type out a 'field' guide for daily Ubuntu use on the Nexus 7. Including but not limited to.

Workarounds for touch screen bugs

Tweaking the theme to fit tablet use.

Setting up key combos(hot keys) for important functions.

And more. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mordeith:

Could you please also put up a video on YouTube showing how's the speed of ubuntu on n7 and the rest. There are few videos online but they are old. Much appreciated mate.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blmvxer:
After writing down notes for a few days and such, I started to type out my Field Guide. Just got started. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SuperBoUDS:
After install latest Ubuntu Touch. I can't boot into it. Multirom say that kernel don't support kexec

p/s: I found the reason, latest m-kernel a55 don't apply kexec patch :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Weird cause a55 is working fine for me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
The kexec patch is only needed when you're booting ubuntu or android roms that don't share the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
I thought it was needed to share a kernel also, shows what I know :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
It's a requirement of multirom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
It isn't needed if you are just booting android roms that share the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
From the OP
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
Thanks I have read that several times, and have been using multirom successfully for months. I was made curious by your comment though which is why I asked you for clarification & a potential reply to the question posed. If I have an opportunity to utilize this tool further or differently it's well worth asking a few questions. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
To clarify, you only need the kexec patch on the primary rom if you are sharing the kernel. For all other circumstances, the patch is required.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
So you can use an unpatched kernel with a regular rom if it's not the primary rom and not sharing the kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
You can use an unpatched secondary if you ARE sharing the kernel, which is the default for multirom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
That makes no sense. The default kernel has to be patched.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Ok how about this:

Unpatched primary, unpatched secondary, kernel shared between primary and secondary - >Multirom works

Unpatched primary, unpatched secondary, kernel not shared between roms - > multirom doesn't work

Patched primary, unpatched secondary, kernel shared - > works

Patched primary, Patched secondary, kernel not shared - > works
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
Thank you!!! I swear to God I'm NOT an idiot! But I sure felt like one there for a minute. Thanks for helping to make me understand. I truly appreciate your help.

Is it possible to add USB OTG+charging to your mutirom kernel?

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/37755-timurs-kernel-usb-rom-usb-host-power-management-usb-audio/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Multirom doesn't have a kernel, it uses the host kernel. If you need that feature, use a kernel that has it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] graydiggy:
When I flash any kernels, it wipes out my MultiROM boot functions. It boots directly to my internal ROM and skips over the boot options.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Me thinks I fixed it. Going to test some stuff.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
After you flash a new kernel, you have to go to Advanced -> multirom in recovery and select "Inject curr. Boot image" to get multirom back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] graydiggy:
That is what I did. Thanks anyways.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nbsss:
Quick question, i want to replace my "internal" rom with another rom i added to multirom a month ago (ie get rid of the one called 'internal' to save space), is there an easy way to do this, rather than wiping & reinstalling to internal? or is it possible to do a nandroid backup of the secondary rom & restore to the internal?

Cheers

Edit: Maybe i'll just delete system, data, cache of the "internal" rom (to save space), and just ignore that slot on the multirom menu, less hassle :)

Edit 2: That seemed to do the trick :)

Edit 3: New question, if i replace the "internal" rom with 'stock' 4.2.2, would it be safe to do the OTA when the next version of android comes along? (i assume this will remove multirom though)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
The problems with OTAs is that they contain only changes between versions - only the bytes which changed between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 for example. This means that the OTAs are very small, but also that all system files on your device must not be changed, and OTA checks for that. MultiROM changes your boot.img, so the OTA will not apply, unless you flash stock boot.img before applying it. If you do that, it _should_ update correctly, assuming nothing else has been changed.

There is no danger however, just try it - OTA will just not flash unless everything is in place.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nbsss:
Great, thanks for the detailed yet understandable explanation, makes perfect sense.

I've clearly never done an ota before lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sasi8998vv:
Guys, what are the instructions for flashing Ubuntu touch?

The instructions link in post 1 seem outdated..

Oh, and for those who don't know, there are TWO types Ubuntu touch ROMs - dev preview, and the full Ubuntu touch.

I'm trying the full version.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blmvxer:
There is no full version. Just an updated mock-up version.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
If you mean this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/

Then it won't work - this version no longer uses CM's boot.img, and it does not work with MultiROM as is. I'll fix it once I'll have some time, but that will be at least two weeks or maybe a month.

EDIT: And these don't work even without MultiROM - it is another step in Ubuntu touch development, and it is not yet fully complete - it just can't boot yet.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nello92:
they updated the images with full preinstalled zips for grouper (and other nexuses ofc) like the dev-preview we were used to see...i'm trying them now with multirom...let's see if they work ;)

EDIT: glad to tell you that we need your help xD thay are not working with multirom :P
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
I searched the forums but I cant seem to find the answer...

1. Do I only do a factory reset when I am replacing the Internal rom?

2. If so, will I lose my other rom setups?

3. Anyway to rename Internal?

2. What about secondary roms, can I just flash over existing roms w/o reset or wiping?

Ive been running multirom for a few weeks now and it rocks!

thxs

d
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NicoGa:
+1 for these questions !

Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yes, factory reset will only erase data of the Internal ROM, nothing else - you will not lose secondary ROMs.

No, at least not yet. That should be easy to do however, I'll put it into next version.

When you go to recovery -> Advanced -> MultiROM -> List ROMs and tap any of the ROMs, you'll see all the options available. If you're updating the secondary ROM, then just flash it using "flash zip" option, if you wanna use new ROM, it is generally better to erase existing ROM (if you want to) and add new ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
Thxs Tasssadar, I knew about updating a previously installed ROM but wasnt sure about replacing w/a different ROM.

Great work btw!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] sasi8998vv:
Yeah man, that was exactly what I was talking about... Thanks!

Though it is a bummer... :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kaiyes:
Yo tassdar, plz check if I'm right. I'm gonna embark upon the journey to do the whole multi boot without PC support. Everything will be done on nexus 7. Steps are:

1. Already flashed 4.18 boot loader using a flash able zip in twrp.

2. Have the modified twrp.img which will be flashed using flash image GUI app.

3. flash multi boot in recovery.

4. I already Franco kernel so kxec hard boot thingy is fine.

5. Gonna download raring Linux here on nexus 7 and then that's that.

What do u say man? Might make a YouTube video if all goes well

Edit: all went well. I now have multirom without the help of a PC. Gonna try the raring ringtail Linux and see how it goes
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Thats how i have been installing multirom for a very long time. Flash image gui was talked about several pages back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kaiyes:
Nice!!! Everything works!!! I know its exceedingly simple but I'm in a hospital bed 4 last 7 days and I didn't have access to a PC, don't know when will Caz I punched and broke my laptop. So only device I have for all my need is this nexus 7. The boot loader 4.18.img needed to be flashed via fast boot which was my only problem as I don't have access to a PC. For some reason flash img gui couldnt flash the bootloader either so only option left was using a pc, using either fastboot or wugfresh's toolkit.I even asked tassadar few pages back for a boot loader 4.18 img so when I can access a PC I could fast boot it. But there is a thread where the guy RECENTLY made a flashable boot loader 4.18 img to be flashed via twrp / cwm. He was trying to make it flash able for a while now and now he made it which made my life easier!!!!

Thanks anyway,its using whatever we can to make things possible.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] serpico84:
Hi, I've been using multirom since one week. Now I'm running with PA 2.54 as internal and CM 10.1 as secondary rom. I would like to change the kernel of the secondary rom but I don't know how to do. I did this steps: advanced-multirom-list of roms- tap secondary rom- flash zip-m-kernel a.56, but didn't work.

I'd like if anyone could help me and tell me what I did wrong.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
First off, CM 10.1 had to have been installed with the don't share option. If it wasn't, you'll have to reinstall using that option before going any further. Once you have that set up, extract the boot.img from the m-kernel zip and go to the rom menu in multirom. You want to select add/replace boot.img and then you just need to find the boot.img you extracted and select it.

Hi, i want Stock 4.2.2 over CM10.1. I downloaded ROM from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi but it's in .tgz and MutiRom don't show it in list. I tried to re-zip it, but got Failed status and message that my ROM is uncomplete.

How to add .zip?

I've got Wi-Fi version of Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dwxvi:
You'll have to use an archive manager (7-Zip, WinRAR, etc.) to extract the .zip file from within the .tgz file.

Its a little surprisimg that 13.10 was released May 2nd, and has had nothing since. A month and a half is a pretty big gap, compared to the fix and release schedule that 13.04 had. Oh well, they'll get to it eventually. Still hoping they finally include the host mode charging patches into thier kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] FitAmp:
They're currently working on some bugs right now. Like the button 1 stuck which causes unresponsive ui

I often get some bug reports but I can live with that.

Is it possible to install flash player to be able to watch videos on YouTube?

Maybe in the terminal?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] farmerbb:
The best way to watch YouTube in Ubuntu is by installing the Minitube app... It's the only way I've been able to watch YouTube videos smoothly in full screen.

sudo apt-get install minitube

If you do want Flash, you can install the gnash and browser-plugin-gnash packages.

Do you guys think that it is possible to use android SDK & eclipse smoothly in the Ubuntu desktop or bodhi or the other Linux distros that we use on nexus 7? I was also thinking whether mozilla could take JavaScript and HTML /CSS type of web development in nexus 7. I fear nexus 7 might not have enough speed to be a fully functional developer tool either for android development or web development. What about ruby/ruby on rails?

[MENTION=452513]tassadar[/MENTION]

Got a question about a possible addition in the next release. Part time, my tablet is in a fixed position and being used with a "y" cable. I was trying to install to my usb hdd and twrp could not mount it, or even find it. I realized that the y cable being plugged into power was overriding the otg function. At times, it can be troublesome because in fixed install, the power can be hard to get to. Is it even possible to integrate a timur style patch to work in twrp to allow host mode charging? Probably not a widespread need for it, but i was curious about the actual feasibility. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
It is just different kernel, right? Should be simply a matter of replacing the stock one. I'll do it once I get to computer and you'll tell me if it works okay.

EDIT: sooner than I expected, http://www.mediafire.com/download/g3x2eccke9g65ee/TWRP_multirom_n7_20130416_usbhost.img with "mobile" version of Timur's kernel. Please test it :)
