2.6.3.1 and I shall now flash to 2.6.3.0 and try that...I flashed purity rom to make sure that I wasn't having root issues...I wasn't...It flashed fine.

I used joeykrimm's flash image gui...I have had great success with that is the past so I continue to use it.

You sir are a steely eyes missile man...

It seems that TWRP 2.6.3.1 does not play well with PA...TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed it just fine and I am now in set up. Thank you again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
There are problems for every rom and 2.6.3.1. I use multirom and it's twrp is still 2.6.3.0 for the same reason.

Not sure what a "steely eyes missile man" is but I will take it as a compliment ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kdp162:
Wish I would've known that before I updated my TWRP ... Anyone know how to revert back to 2.6.3.0??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Use fastboot or flash image gui. Or you can grab MultiRom Manager from the play store to install TWRP even if you don't use multirom the recovery works like the normal one.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kdp162:
What's flash image gui??

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

I can't use anything that requires adb because my Nexus 7 only shows as offline in adb, I've tried everything to get it to work but I give up. Lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
what operating system do you have on your pc? Flash image gui is an app for flashing recovery images. Flashify is another app you could use
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SITH16:
Its in the play store...its used to flash kernels and recoveries from inside android. I have used it for years...its great.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] auleu:
just installed 4.4.2 to see whats the fuss with kitkat and imediently switched back to pa because it looks so ugly without tablet ui. big black bars and everything, no thx.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] funkpod:
Thank you. I will do it the old school way of using adb, probably. it's what i'm familiar with.

Question, do you recommend doing this anyways, flashing the factory image for kitkat? i remember when going from like, 4.1 to 4.3, it was recommended to go to the factory image first, then going to PA 3.9. Put everything on the same page, so to speak.

Recommend that i go to 4.4 factory image first, then i'll be ready for anything that PA puts out?

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

that's my problem, maybe, i love tablet ui. however, my tablet has gotten so sluggish and has had many random resets, I want the speed that i think kitkat should bring. did you flash the factory image?

regardless of what I do, i'll almost always run a launcher on top of everything. I can't stand the horizontal app launcher and more specifically, adding widgets that way. SOOooooo slow....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] auleu:
yes, factory 4.4.2 . my tablet was super fast before so do a clean reset + m kernel
[Nexus 7 Original Development] funkpod:
thanks for that. for sake of clarity, what do you mean by clean reset? there are several options in cwmr, Wipe data/factory reset, or format system, etc. My tablet is also almost 100% full... like 31 of 32gb full. It's got backups, nandroids, TiBu, Helium on it, etc. very very full.

I need to find a way to locate those nandroids in particular and then

copy some, erase others, etc. I want to flash the stock image and actually wipe EVERYTHING, using this guide

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...riants-of-nexus-7-2012-and-2013-and-nexus-10/

and then basically start over fresh, only copying over the files that i need.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] auleu:
clean reset meaning run that flash all.bat from factory image. then when you want to go back to custom flash recovery via fastboot then install rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Androideka:
Just a slight problem

When ever i hit the home key on my Nexus 7 2012, running the kernel that came with this version of PA, the keyboard pops up. Im not sure why, but it is rather annoying. any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Keion:
Change your launvcher.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
Known bug.

Not just launcher. Change ROMs. :)

That sounds like the pure AOSP build from like Halloween-ish that's not really PA and 4.4 while AOSP is now at 4.4.2 :eek:

It was a hybrid 4.3/4.4 ROM because the binaries weren't available yet.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] vic_singh:
Do I need any thing special before I flash to 4.0?

The last time I flash was this ROM latest release.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xR3BorNx:
I think it is safer to flash first the stock rom then flash this one. But flashing the stock rom is much better because this build might have some bugs and its not an official release. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SITH16:
I flashed it just to check it out...it seems pretty bare but a good WIP...I was on Purity before which isn't stock but is 4.4.2 none the less. Can't wait to see the finished product.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] holynoob:
Guys, where can I find the latest PA based on 4.2.2 JB for grouper? Links plz.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] funkpod:
thanks! i ended up using ADB and fastboot commands to flash the factory image. NOTE: Something's wrong with the 4.4.2 image for the nexus 7. I tried it several times, the 4.3 bootloader img file, but it didn't work. kept saying something like "failed, invalid entry" or something like that. So i flash the 4.4 bootloader, and the 4.4 image. then I upgraded through the update to 4.4.2. just in case anyone needs help with this in the future.

in any case, MAN, my tablet is fast again! WOOHOO! don't like phablet ui... but it's okay.

i'll just patiently await paranoid android's kit kat rom!

btw, i should be able to flash any rom from here, right? 4.3 or 4.4? no problems just cuz i'm on 4.4.2?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gpzbc:
There isn't one. And I am not sure what you mean by JB.

EDIT: Whoops I now see what you mean by JB. I was confused because I thought you were asking for 4.4.2 JB. Sorry.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xR3BorNx:
I wouldnt recommend flashing old OS versions. I dont know if android have that backward compatibility.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bsoplinger:

I just installed 3.57. It says 4.2.2. Seems a little bit smoother than kitkat to me.

And BTW 3.57 version at goo was a broken zip. Here is a working one https://andromirror.com/file/1142.

Im using a ROM (purity) that is 4.4.1 so much similar to 4.4 or maybe the same one. I never tried 4.4.2 so i cant say anything about it. But if you are happy in 4.4.2 why change right? If it doesnt satisfy your needs. Then flash some custom ROMs :)

It is not dead yet. PA team is still working on it. Though, there is no ETA for it because of other people that keeps on spamming and complaining that it hasnt arrive yet.

PS. PA is the only ROM i trust but due to some reasons. Purity is now my backup but still a very good ROM. Would recommend to try it if you cant wait for PA Kitkat. :)

Heads up: seriously, no boot animation, custom backgrounds, halo, themes, pie or custom ANYTHING. I appreciate the sentiment of releasing something before the years end, but this might be more developers-interest, IMHO. Not complaining, but giving other users the heads up before they waist a bunch of time like I did.

lost root after a clean flash, as i have with many kit kat roms. switched to ART before attempting to restore apps via titanium, but i doubt that matters where root privileges are concerned. (also flashed franco r76 fwiw)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] pan.droid:
Sure they did. I think my post offered more explanation than: "things aren't where we would have liked them to be."

For that reason, my post may offer some clarity to those who could find better things to do than be disappointed, today.

I noticed two actual PA features before I booted back to DJL's AOSP Kangs: The funky new quick settings and the double tap to clear recents.

I'm sure that what they've been up to is more in the technical end of things and that they've experienced setbacks with KK. Also, they have lives and, unlike CM INC, haven't sold out their passions for quick money. Your really preaching to choir, buddy.

Anyway, I'm kinda hoping Flo inherited a bunch of Grouper devs this morning=) Thinking the next couple months could be quite productive given that and the time of year, but who can say?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tipkaros:
Just wondering: is the grouper version/port of 4.0 still maintained by EvanA or is it now the entire team's effort as they said a few months back that it would be?

they had added the full immersive mode as well as a few other things that are PA only that you failed to mention. Personally i dont feel like dropping back down to kangs.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] pan.droid:
Ha! I almost mentioned it. Honestly, I'm not sure how it would do with tweaking Quick Settings since that's the one new PA feature that is live. I think it's a pretty good bet, otherwise. Let us know if you end up trying it yourself=)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] vic_singh:
I did it and no issue.. but I have one off their previous beta release....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pan.droid:
No, not across different branches. A prior PA build is one thing, but CM is a horse of a different color, entirely. Clean flash.

I highly recommend you do a backup, install MultiROM Manager (from Play), open and install MultiROM mod and then flash PA as a secondary ROM. This assumes you've got several GBs of free space...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nate51:
Agreed, wish I had seen this before OTA notified me. I am reverting back to 3.99-RC2
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pan.droid:
Here's a quick and dirty procedure for the next best thing to dirty flashing. I've assumed we all have a Titanium Backup Pro key:

1. Backup EVERYTHING using the batch feature in Titanium Backup. Optionally, if there are in app backup features such as for RSS readers, notepad apps, firewalls, etc. it couldn't hurt to use those in addition.

2. In TB filter apps down to user apps (in other words exclude system and uninstalled apps).

3. Use the "update.zip" batch feature to create a recovery flashable zip file containing all your user apps & data.

4. Perform a backup in recovery.

5. Follow the clean flash procedure (normal or MultiROM route) for PA (don't forget gapps).

6. Boot to PA, complete initialization.

7. Return to recovery.

8. Clear caches, then install the backup zip you created.

9. Reboot to PA

10. Open Play and reinstall the Titanium Backup Pro key (you might also have to reinstall Titanium Backup if it's not present in your launcher).

11. Open TB and accept the prompt to restore Android ID.

Optionally, you may find it necessary to run the "Market Doctor" in Titanium Backup to make sure ask your apps are correctly linked to Play for updates and such.

Note 1:

Once you've figured out how to create your user app flashable zip in TB you might also consider creating another for the following system apps' (data only):

» Accounts

» Google Account Manager

» WI-FI Access Points

Just BE SURE TO change the default name from "update.zip" or you'll just end up overwriting your flashable user app zip. If you choose not to back this data up and restore it you'll simply have to reenter your Google, Facebook and other existing login(s) as well as WIFI credentials do make sure you know that stuff.

Note 2:

Superuser permissions will have to be re-granted to your root apps (just open them for the prompt).

I hope this is more helpful than overwhelming. It could probably use a thread of its own. I'm 99% sure I haven't left anything BIG out. I use a more optimized version of this procedure but I've left a few details out to be as general as possible and as not to completely overwhelm.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nate51:
I would just add GravityBox, but last night I had nothing but problems, Youtube would not load, Google Play kept crashing, and it happened constantly without fail.

To the things that are not implemented yet that were in 3.99. Um, reading the op this seems to have been put up to quiet down the people that keep asking for it. Um, when it's tweaked to the devs liking and almost everything they want is in it I'm sure they'll upload that version. Um, then I will be back using my favorite ROM once again. Um, yeah that's all. To the devs of PA , I'm an impatient person. Always have been. but your Roms are without a doubt worth the wait. Thank you for the time you've invested in this project.

after booting up and verifying everything was working properly (by the way, I was doing this with the PAOTA as a test for the team, I made full backups before starting to be safe), I did wind up flashing the newest GAPPs package so that I could have GEL too.

Ya I also make Nandroid backups before updating ROMs. Thing is if I perform a factory reset, I would like to make TiBu backups of my saved game files for various games installed but with the latest update for TiBu pro, it seems a lot of people are getting FCs including myself. I don't want to have to play the games all over again heh.

Will try the PAOTA method and report back. In any case I can revert back via the Nandroid Backup.
