No second Gen nexus 7 will come out. Google won't replace this hotshot

If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
[Nexus 7 General] westshotgun:
There is a rumor about low-end Nexus 7 ($ 99) in this quarter, but I don't know if that is what you are talking about. Maybe I'm the only one that don't know about 2nd generation. I really don't care about new stuff personally... I bought PSP-1005 one week before SONY release PSP-2005, and I never really think about returning it for change or regret about my purchase. I bought my Nexus 7 32gb 3 weeks ago, and even if 2nd generation came out this February, I don't think I will care for it.

If you really want the 2nd generation (I think you do), just return it before you regret it.
[Nexus 7 General] Apav:
Thanks, I only want it if it's coming out anytime soon. If not, I really don't care.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I have heard no rumors of a second generation Nexus 7.

It will happen eventually, but I would expect press rumors first.
[Nexus 7 General] bervin:
I say just stick with your nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] cnstarz:
from everything i've seen on the internet, this "2nd generation" nexus 7 is just a rumor denied by Asus and Google. Even if it is a real tablet, the rumors have stated that it's a lesser-spec model. i dont know why you would even want that.
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
WHERE did you read that the Gen 2 N7 was coming out in a month or two?
[Nexus 7 General] kitch9:
It isn't, next one will be Tegra 4 and that's not ready yet.
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
The nexus 7 was announced at Google I/O last year. This year I/O is scheduled for May 15. If they announce a new model it would be then. However, I very much doubt a new, upgraded Nexus 7. Most likely a new $99 low end model if anything. Upgraded 2nd gen at the end of the year with the other nexus devices.
[Nexus 7 General] xateeq:
Ill say if you can wait then you don't need a tablet then you don't need to buy any, if you cant wait then it means you need a tablet then in present so buy the best tablet for your $ e.g. nexus 7. If you think you dont need a tablet rit now and might need in the future then repeat this process in future and ull get your answer then.
[Nexus 7 General] knitler:
The only things I would expect is maybe a cheaper version, color options or MAYBE an LTE version.
[Nexus 7 General] steevp:
Only rumors I've heard were about a $99 7" single-core tablet from Asus that might not even be a Nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] stepcalhoun:
Ive heard rumours of google buildin there own devices soon rite now code named x-phone, if this were true id imagine the nexus line may run the risk of gettin replaced,or at least given lesser priority
[Nexus 7 General] danny8:
I say keep what you have.

Depending on where you bought it, it will be a minor or major hassle to return it. I sense you are perhaps a bit (or a lot) younger than me (54), so take this advice: DO NOT UNDERVALUE YOUR TIME!

Time spent returning it, dealing with credit receipt, verifying you got properly credited, waiting for the sales clerk, etc. is WASTED.

Time spent with your current tablet will contribute to your store of knowledge and fun.

Don't try to mitigate perceived future regrets, you will have plenty of regrets that have nothing to do with your selection of tech gadgets. Get out, get some fresh air and enjoy life. Go ahead and return it if you need to. Don't worry be happy.

This is the best advice. Man old people are so wise. :) :) :)

[Nexus 7 General] mrazndead:
I'd keep it and enjoy it. you can always sell it and get most of your money back and buy the nexus 7 2nd gen, which is coming in May during Google I/O.

I think as a society, we are becoming more OCD. especially here on XDA. if the tablet isn't absoluately perfect, we obsess over everything about it. and we flash roms left and right, change kernels, searching for the best, optimized, fastest, battery life, all these settings, updating from 4.1.1, to 4.1.2, to 4.2, to 4.2.1 constantly. we're screwed as humans.

enjoy the tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] rm19:
Unless I heard for a fact that a new version of the Nexus 7 was right around the corner with a faster processor, higher res screen and better battery life, I wouldn't worry about it. It's already one of the best and cheapest tablets around.
[Nexus 7 General] Castle5665:
EXACTLY!

If you already got the Nexus 7 32gb like I do, take it for a spin and enjoy it. I love this little monster and I haven't tapped into half the cool stuff you can do with it yet. It's plenty badass of you give it a chance.
[Nexus 7 General] davidstech11:
If you don't mind waiting then wait away. Me, I don't mind buying one now because for the price its still a great tablet. Even if at the end of March, or April another Nexus 7 tablet is released I got a great tablet for a good price. And I can always just buy it if I want it then. I will just pass my current 32GB Nexus 7 on to family who I know want it.
[Nexus 7 General] dr.m0x:
I'm calling bs on the x-phone. The manufacturers would move away from supporting android if they were suddenly in competition with Google instead of partnership.

I'm also calling bs on the second generation nexus 7. The hardware on those baby's is already very respectable and up there with anything on the market. I don't think we'll see it upgraded until at least the end of 2013, if not sometime in 2014.

2nd gen?Wut?

In 2014 may
[Nexus 7 General] Ashin:
I thought there was rumours of a cheaper Nexus 7, but cheaper because it was entry level... and would be less capable than the current Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] jamesc760:
You can always wait for the rumoured Nexus 8 or 9?
[Nexus 7 General] djdunn:
Asus makin a cheaper 7" tablet but its not a nexus
[Nexus 7 General] quez2525:
Where did you get a 32gb for $230???
[Nexus 7 General] Mutedfaith:
X-Phone

NeXus

Not that hard to figure out...
[Nexus 7 General] JanJansen024:
he did not get the nexus 7 for $230, it would be $230 withoud any tax, but there is tax and that is $20. together it is $250 einstein.:rolleyes:

and back ontopic, I don't think neither asus or google would make another (better) 7 inch tablet, the nexus 7 is selling way too good for that. maybe in a long time? nobody knows. At least not within 1 month. And the nexus 7 is already very cheap for its specifications. If you dont want to buy the nexus 32 GB because its too expensive, you can always buy the 16GB and a otg cable with an usb stick. maybe they would make a cheaper tablet of $99, but with $99 it is impossible to make a good android tablet with google nexus quality for that price. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Mutedfaith:
People only care about what's new, not about last years tech still being relevant spec wise. You can bet Apple, Amazon, Samsung and Asus will each have their respective 7" devices at the latest around Christmas time, if Google doesn't then they might as well be giving money away(which they won't because as a company its only reason of existing is to make money).
[Nexus 7 General] Dmans:
Buy it now and enjoy it, because I heard there was a 3rd gen coming out in 2015:P
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
There is no information that says that the second generation will come out in May. I don't know where you pulled that from.

And why the hell are you on XDA if you think optimizing your device is screwing humanity?
[Nexus 7 General] ksnax:
I think it is ridiculous to worry about missed opportunity for future technology if what is available today meets your needs.

Will the current 7 do that? Yes? Buy it!

If not, why even consider it?
[Nexus 7 General] danny8:
The way I read his comment, obsessing over stuff is how we are screwing ourselves. I'd agree.

You don't have to look very long on these forums to find thoughtless, compulsive behavior; quick-to-anger, thin-skinned bullies, aggressive posturing, and persistent trolling.

And the occasional debate over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. I mean not how many, but the optimal number. Yup, we're screwed. :p

If your gonna wait you might as well pick up the official nexus 7 dock as well it should be out around the same time......
[Nexus 7 General] danny8:
Yea, I'd like one of those docks. Google also has to catch up on all those Nexus 4 backorders.
[Nexus 7 General] Pr3cast Dragon:
Sweet!

So happy its in may. I'm getting one then and was wondering when it will come out.:)
[Nexus 7 General] imrubd:
u should wait for the next one.but maybe it will be little high on price.
[Nexus 7 General] Red Wolf:
I am waiting for it as well but no idea when it will be released though :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] eksasol:
No it won't. Do some research on Nexus devices.
[Nexus 7 General] damosuk:
I thought the Nexus's 4 and 7 were there first cheap products. All the previous Nexus's had high prices. Galaxy nexus anyone!.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Galaxy Nexus wasn't expensive. I think it was $350 from Google. Considering at the time similar devices were selling for $800ish. The Galaxy Nexus was the first device they lowered the price dramatically on. Nexus One and Nexus S were pretty pricey but that was eons ago.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Yep, well the gnex was expensive everywhere else before sold on Google play, all though it arrived way late on Google play.

Nexus 1 was what over five hundred

Nexus s the same way, except on T-Mobile and sprint for two agreements

The nexus 10 is expensive

So do research........god I love xda

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tpayne2345:
I upgraded to 4.2 liquidsmooth rom and everything works fine except for Plague Inc, which is like the only game I play.. I've tried several uninstall-reboot-reinstall and every time the .apk has blank properties and no permissions, can't set any either. I downloaded an old version of the game and fortunately that .apk shows properties and permissions but it still FC's upon launch

this is pissing me off and I have no clue what to do, anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nujackk:
how did you install it originally? Are you moving it to SD card? I would uninstall wipe dalvik and reboot. then install from market. Not titanium

do a reboot before you restore data only from titanium.

Love that game By the way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tpayne2345:
I've been downloading it from the market originally.. wiping dalvik made the properties/permissions show up but the app still stops upon launch

I haven't restored any data at all

I've googled everything I can think of and read some stuff on here and other sites about the game not working well with 4.2.. who knows
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
It sounds more like a ROM problem rather than a 4.2.x problem. Is this the only game that is FCing? You've said you have been installing it from the market. Have you tried restoring it from titanium or possibly extracting the app or app and data from a nandroid backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FeelLikeThis:
Just FYI...my setup is latest bamf pure aosp with ktoonz kernel and plague inc works fine for me. I was having trouble with liquid, but this one is running nice. :)

I can't post to the development section because i'm new here, so feel free to move this thread ;)

I've found some really interesting things around the internet.

I got an mt6573 device half a year ago(Star A920) and ported over some ROM'S.

Now i wan't to get deeper, the problem is the sourcecode from mediatek. Alcatel has released its sources (OT918d, OT991d) which are mt6573 phones. For building the mediatek Android, we need other files, which were not included in their sources.

Now it's getting interesting:

I've found this on the internet:

www.github.com/fanjunwei/mytqe

It seem like this is the development environment for the ALPS MTK builds.

I also found this "How-To" for the environment.

http://wenku.baidu.com/view/86c3bad749649b6648d74748.html

..and the kernelsource for the alcatel 991d.

www.sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/OT_991D_20120725.tar.xz/download

I'm trying to build an android from sources, maybe we are successfull together.

If I'm wrong - correct me, please.

edit: sucessfully build Android 2.3.6 from sources!!! ( ALPS.GB.FDD2.MP.V4.5 , e1101_v73_jbl1ctp_a515, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 )
[Android General] mandeep1:
Whoa bro !

can u make a guide how to compile from sources ?
[Android General] gp.triple:
it's cool!!

can you make a tutorial for comiling android from source?
[Android General] Chrizzly92:
look at the second link i've posted. there is an complete tutorial. (setting up a virtual machine, for example). you have to use "./makeMtk baoxue r" to build the komplete system with recovery, boot.img etc.

then u need some cust_xxx.c files from the alcatel sources, or the build fails. ( copy them manually to the folders, shown in the error logs of the builds).

I have to get deeper into it, maybe compiling a new kernel for our devices. Sure I will make an Tutorial, but at first i have to know exactly what im dooing. I hope someone else can help me, so we can get the best results out of it.
[Android General] godofgeeks:
Congratulations buddy, a tut by your experience shall be highly helpful
[Android General] Chrizzly92:

[Android General] balamu96m:
Great work! what is the latest news??
[Android General] HUELK:
Header is missing

Hi pals,

the Problem is that the repack-MT6577.pl assumes tht the needed Header information is already in the zImage, which is because normally you would pass the zImage which you extractet from a original boot.img to the script. So it will not boot until you append the Header to the zImage,

i extracted the Header with dd and build a zImage with it. Will try that out now

Edit:

the header is the first 512bytes of the original zImage

Edit2:

It boots with my custom kernel Forgot to mention my device: Alcatel OT998 (sold by Base in Germany, almost the same as OT997/OT997D)

Edit3: sorry Wrong Thread, as it is a different MTK-Platform but the info correct for you also i guess
[Android General] balamu96m:
Again nice work!

Can you a somewhat detailed tutorial??
[Android General] HUELK:
hi ,

sorry sure i can give detail, well at least i try:

1. Get the zImage from a working boot.img eg with unmkbootimg or split_bootimg.pl

2. The needed header is in the first 512bytes of the zImge extract that:

dd if=<zImgeOrig> of=header bs=512 count=1

3. Append the header to the build zImage

3.1 dd if=header of=zImageMod

2.2 dd if=zImageCustom of=zImageMod seek=512

4. Repack Boot.img with repack-MT65xx.pl as known

5. Flash through CWM:

I flash it to my device over the adb console after putting the Image on the sdcard with adb push:

dd if=/sdcard/<boot.img> of=/dev/bootimg

NOT TESTET: flashing through the cwm update-script with write_raw_image("boot.img", "/dev/bootimg");

Thats the way i got it up to boot, but i have some Problems with the permission of pvrsrvkm.ko know, i building CM10 for my Device if anyone wants to know...

i guess you can easily modify the repack-MT6577.pl to include that for fresh kernels, i will have a look at that in the next days.

<-----THANKS Button
[Android General] balamu96m:
Bad that I can't give a double thanks for your highly useful post!

Building CM 10 = awesome!

I would like to know more....cm10 with dual sim support??

Thanks again!
[Android General] HUELK:
Hi,

building cm10 with dual sim support will be complicated as there is no support for it in cm10 , my device has no dual sim but nfc instead. i now almost got it up running, the pvrdrv loads now correctly but there is some problem with some framework files and BOOTCLASSPATH variable. I think i will get it fully up today. Was awake till 6 o'clock on this :D.
[Android General] balamu96m:
Great again! Hope you complete it soon!

I would somehow try to port it.....! :)

Hi thanks for your procedure.

I tried , i can boot but the display is very slowly. I tried with this source code https://github.com/wiko-sources/cink-king

Have you ever used repack-MT65xx.pl for mt6577?

Hi,

NEWS: got it up to boot cm10! yes display is slow for me too, but its a start :)

greetz huelk

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

hi yes, the zImage Custum is the zImage wich resides in arch/arm/boot/zImage after you build the kernel, the zImage Mod is the Output file which will be inside the boot.img that you will flash

HUELK

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

As i told you my device is a mt6577 but the changes you need should be the same, can you send me an original boot.img of your device, i will have a look.

And great to know that CM 10 booted :highfive: !

hi,

any advantage in building the rom, i try it with the sources that you posted in the full alps environment thread, but i have some problems in compiling some modules like gps and others. What is the progress at you ROM.
[Android General] balamu96m:
Advantage...........maybe if some drivers are not working properly like for light sensor, proximity etc......but if it already gives error, then it may not help us......

I have an idea......for porting ics to mt6573:

*We can build a kernel with mt6573 source and see if it boots and works properly.

*If it works, then we can replace the kernel folder in MT6575/77 full source with the working kernel folder in mt6573 source.

*then build a full rom for mt6575/77 with the replaced kernel folder

Then try flashing it in a mt6573 device...

What do you guys think??

nope, no way. there are no working android 4 ROMS for the mt6573 chipset. you can get ICS themed Rom's for a mt6573 device, but you'll need to port them to your phone by yourself. there are tutorials for that here in xda. make a backup first and don't flash preloader or DSP_BL. just grab a ROM, working on mt6573, with your screen resolution, port them and flash them.

mt6573 source help

Hy All!

I have an alcatel ot-985 phone which also based on mt6573 chipset.

I have found a full mediatek source modified by a guy who has an IQ245 Fly phone, this phone is almost like my phone so I build this kernel and put the header from my factory boot.img-kernel.img. I repacked the boot.img with mt65xx_repack.pl and flash it to my phone with cwm. The phone doesn't boot it just shows the green droid...

Is there someone who knows how can I make my own configuration for my phone? I build modules from this config, the config.ko modul works and generate /proc/config.gz file, but it's the same what I used to build the modules. The ext2.ko module also works and I can mount ext2 partitions... I want swap support and it's not allowed to be a module...

If someone need I can upload the source wich I used.

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Hungary
