[Nexus 7 General] ashik992:
There are already few threads about Ubuntu desktop on nexus 7 in this forum. But there is a reason behind why I started a new thread. And that the rest of the threads requires a desktop or laptop with Ubuntu installed to install Ubuntu on your nexus 7. Or it's about running Ubuntu over android Using VNC. But this thread is about installing Ubuntu using a windows PC.

This is a developer edition install it at your own risk.

This will erase your android and all your data so create a backup first.

There is a GUI based installer on Ubuntu desktop to install Ubuntu on your nexus 7 called "Ubuntu Nexus 7 installer". But what if you don't have a PC running on Ubuntu like me. You can still install Ubuntu using your Windows PC(I don't have a MAC but there should be some similarities in this processes).

Things that you are going to need are:

* Nexus 7(Boot-loader unlocked) + USB cable

* Android SDK

* Ubuntu Files

I think you already got the first two of them. If yes download "raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.bootimg" and "raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img.gz" from here.

Once you've downloaded the required files extract the "raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img.gz " using a extractor of your choice (I used win RAR). You will get a file named "raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.raw" now change the extension from ".raw" to ".img".

Now place this two files into "platform-tools" folder under your "Android SDK". Open command window in this folder(Shift + right click for Windows I'm not sure about MAC). Connect your Nexus 7 in fast-boot mode. Now write the bellow command one by one following by enter.

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash boot raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.bootimg

fastboot flash userdata raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img

And you are done installing Ubuntu desktop on you Nexus 7. Now reboot your device or write "fastboot reboot" in command window.

Now this is gonna take a while. In my case it took about 7 min to reboot into Ubuntu.

Enjoy nexus 7 like a desktop.

## There are too many bugs. Please report the bugs to help the developers.

## It's more comfortable to use with a hardware mouse and keyboard.

## If you have problem getting on-screen keyboard on log in screen use the device Vertically.

There is already a very extensive thread on this right here in the general section, and has been since it was released 5-6 months ago. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33313017

Btw, it can also be installed using multirom, so you do not have to lose your current

Android os, or any data. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34577838
[Nexus 7 General] ashik992:
Multirom is fun for you because you've got the 32GB and 16GB one. Everyone doesn't. :)
[Nexus 7 General] ashik992:
If I'm not wrong it says "You need Ubuntu to install Ubuntu on your Nexus 7".

But what if you don't have Ubuntu but you have a Windows PC and want to install Ubuntu on your Nexus 7.

I agree with the matter of multirom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccra:
Hi All,

the GN 10.1 offers the possibility to add a Photo Note to your pictures. You can essentially "virtually flip" the photo and write on the reverse side. I really like this feature to be able to keep notes together with the photos.

Is is it possible to back up these "flip sides" and keep them in sync if you need to do a reformat of the data and then restore the photos (together with the notes). Where are these located and is it possible to back them up to dropbox.

I have looked around and cold not find them and I could not find any back-up or sync option.

Many Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axel_:
I'm not sure what app or feature you are referring to, but anyway one should be able to find where the app store its data and then sync that folder using foldersync or some similar application. Try write on a picture, save and go to the folder handler. If sorted by date, the folder that the app is saving in should be on the very top of the folder structure.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccra:
The app is the standard gallery app on the stock rom. If you are looking at a photo you can go to the menu and there is the function "add photo note". It flips the photo and you can write on the back (just like you could do on the old paper photos). I looked but I just can't find the files. Maybe it is some type of propriety file format instead of a picture format.

I would just like to be able to back up these notes so you don't lose them.

Any ideas anyone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axel_:
I checked too and there's just an empty folder saying "image notes". However, when I'm checking the DCIM folder where the images are I can see that the image seemed to be edited the time I did the note, so maybe it's embedding it in the picture somehow. But when I uploaded it to Dropbox and opened it in the galley from there the note where lost so apparently not.. The only thing I can imagine is that the note is a hidden file in the folder and therefore doesn't show, have you tried using the computer or another file browser?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccra:
Yes the same thing happened to me when I tried to restore the photo. Shame really, I really like just writing on the back of the photos but if I can't backup them up or even export them I just fear they will go lost and therfore the function has only short time limited use. I don't have access to a laptop for a few weeks so I can't check it from the laptop.

Thanks for looking and trying. Really appreciate it.

Hi yasirmujtaba,

I Installed Xtrance ROM for my Xolo A700 , i really liked it and it was stable for 2 days,

however After i installed the Data Repatition update i started having problems , and my phone reboots whenever i try to install

APPS from google playstore , it is really annoying... my guess it is because the apps confuse the internal sd card and extrernal sd card mounts ,

Please create an roll back for Data Repartition for us

These are the pbms:

1) Apex Launcher not working.

2)Camera closes when Face beauty is selected.

3) Wifi Direct and Wifi Hotspot not working. ( I frequently use app called SuperBeam to share my files ,when i tried in this rom I says It can enable wifi hotspot).

Why there are two galleries and 3 music players (Walkman with Acid is awesome).

Hi, I have been facing a weird problem for sometime. From day 1, I couldn't install any apps on the external sd card. the phone goes to the intel animation(bootanimation) and kind of restarts the phone from there. same with trying to move an app to sd card. And then I tried to install the 9gag app on the internal sd card which did the same thing described previously. but then I tried to install the app 'death moto' on the internal sd card and this worked. i tried these two apps a couple of times and worked just as i described. so what kind of problem is exactly going on here? this certainly is weird. thanks for any help :)

EDIT: I would also like to request if anyone can provide a flashable stock rom zip. Thanks

Tip

YasirMujtaba after completing your examination, you can try to port jellybean ROM from iBall as the kernel version is same as our xolo A700.

The only difference is the baseband.

Kernel andi 4.5 have different display driver,I'm have kata i1 (smiliary to andi) and also try to port jb rom for mito but didn't work.

If you need jb boot in your device, try use rom from wiko cink peax/amoi n820/myphone a888/acer v360.

Big problem with that jb rom is display layout in upside down.

I ve mito a322 with jb 4.1.2 (build kernel 3.4 from cink peax source with mod config) but not sure if work for xolo a700.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robogar:
I picked up this armband at a local shop that sells outdoor/hiking stuff. Only costs a few bucks and while it's not perfect, it does the job.

I think more and more of those outdoor shops that sell an assortment of backpacks and bags will have these in stock, since almost everyone has a smartphone nowadays. If you're looking for something made especially for the N4, I think that'll be much harder to find.

For the cost, I would even recommend to get one of these to tide you over while you are looking for the custom case for N4, my 2 cents.

I use an arm band meant for the galaxy S3. The two devices are almost of the same size and dimensions, so the arm bands are interchangeable. It has a clear front, so I can see how far I have ran through it. I can even use the touch screen through the clear plastic if I want to.

I have had two runs out on the streets so far, and the arm band felt pretty good. It uses a stretchy material, so it wraps around my arm tightly. It feels a little odd when I started running because I can feel my pulse going through it, but I forgot about it soon afterwards.
