I've gotten a few requests about multirom with this build since I posted something earlier. If you need to know how to do it (you should already if you're using multiROM), you can check it out HERE.

I didn't want to post the info in here and muddy up the dev thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
Thanks so much downloading and testing now. Will update soon.

EDIT: Any chance for a zip? Otherwise will still try with boot.img... :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Just put the file in the rooted-boot.img.zip file in the OP. Overwrite the original boot.img.

Use WinRAR or 7Zip. 7zip is what I do all my zips with and recommend.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
Boot looping so far with dirty, going to try with clean flash.

EDIT: Clean Flash no good. :'(

EDIT 2: Might be bad installation/corrupted file on my end. :'(

EDIT 3: I have downloaded it on two separate computers, tried using fastboot and zip method. Sadly, image is no go... Wish I had better news, let me know if there are any tests/logs that you would like [MENTION=5347341]CrashTestDroid[/MENTION], though I've had to wipe due to bootloops leaving little logs left. Sorry for the bad news. Happy to keep testing if there are any other new boot images. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] pilotgav:
I'm speechless.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
Honestly, when I read this. I was to. Unbelievable! The amount of work that goes into making this ROM work is a true testament to the skills and dedication of all involved, especially [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION].
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Can you note the specific change? I can then add it to the source. I have not had time to research. Its been a terribly wrong week.

I will try my hand at it when I get some free time. Maybe tomorrow. I need a break.

How do you think I felt :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
i dirty flashed (i don't think clean/dirty matters for Kernel) and i had the Boot Loop.

rebooted back to Recovery and injected MultiROM into the boot.img rebooted and it worked. i have root on deb!! :good:

i can restore my apps via TiBu/ROM Toolbox. use StickMount etc.

maybe it's something with MultiROM? :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
Maybe this works, will give this a shot. Looking positive [emoji1]

EDIT: Surprisingly, this works. Good work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
excellent!

one thing about this is that, since the stock kernel does not have the Kexec Hardboot patch needed for booting a secondary ROM in MultiROM, if you want to boot a secondary ROM you will need to flash a MultiROM compatible kernel like Elemental-X.

i flashed Elemental-X and i'm in my secondary ROM now, so not sure if i will lose Root and/or can regain just by flashing SuperSU 2.19 without going back to the stock modified boot.img
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
I think you'll need to keep modded boot image even with secondary, but with that being said. You shouldn't need to re flash when going to primary, as it does keep the settings.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Please no more MultiRom discussion.

There is a thread for it here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-7-2013/development/multirom-lollipop-builds-coming-t2931417

Please take all discussion there!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
No, this was about rooting your Deb rom.

It is true I have Multirom, but it is more relevant to the users of your thread, IMO.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Ok
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Build #3 is Up!

11/7/2014​

Added Root to the ROM

Removed the need for any of the prior flashes like "Save REcovery" and "rooted-boot.img"

Converted it to a kitchen capable format (this is good if you want to mod your own ROM).

Will only need to flash ROM and then Gapps

Added init.d Support!

Dropped Deb support
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] freakzapster:
Thanks A Ton Dude
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Forgot to add that I added "init.d" support.

I also added a "Sharing policy as follows for anyone that wants to build on the base...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
Dropped Deb. I want a refund on my donation from last night.

Surprised you are so closed minded.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Why am I closed minded? I told the one guy that BEGGED me to do it that I would try it on a best effort approach.

I did it, it worked you have the exact same ROM. I just re-packed the ROM with Root now.

There is no real difference.

Also, if you are serious about your donation then file a dispute with paypal. I didint ask you to donate to me. You did not contract me for any job. You were not forced to donate. And if you do then make sure you destroy any copies of my ROM and remove them from your device.

I built one ROM because one person begged for it and now I am the bad guy because I am not doing more. Wow. What an a@#hole I am!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] freakzapster:
If He Would Have Been Closed Minded Then He Would Not Have Given Permission To Use His Base Rom

And Its Difficult To Handle Many Devices At A Single Time .

So U Should Think Once Before U Comment On Anybody .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:
I have the "pre-begging" version which didn't have root for Deb. You have said the new version is not for Deb and Deb support is dropped so this thread is useless for Deb users.

I donated in the anticipation of current and future support which you now clearly state is not happening.

Whatever. Keep the money and have some beers. I used to like Clean ROM back in the day.

Close minded is thinking the MultiRom talk is not relevant to this thread and asking to shut it down.

Not a commentary on his skills and hard work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
I agree that calling you closed minded is going way too far.. I, hope that I speak for most of us deb folks, in that we are thankful for your time and effort in making one. Sorry for all the trouble. I guess we all just got a little too excited by this happening. Unlike those who own a flo device, we really don't have that many options. I sincerely hope that you will reconsider keeping deb support.. Some of the changes that you made, like simplifying the boot is huge.... I lost all my data last night, due to a misflash in the save recovery file not being completely flashed... Had to do a factory reset...

All in all, I am really grateful for what you have done.. Sincerely am, and even if you don't update deb again (even though really hoping you do) I am still glad for being able to contribute to this thread and hopefully being able to help the flo community in some way.. I apologize on behalf of the deb community for stealing part of your thread, but I do think that multirom affects both flo and deb and that you will continue to come up with those inquiries. Multirom is one of the primary reasons I got a Nexus 7, as it's the only tablet with fully supported Multirom. It lets a Rom lover like me be able to flash and test a variety of roms. But anyways thank you again. Really truly hope you reconsider, but I understand if you don't. All the best and thank you!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Gunthermic:
I think surely there is a misunderstanding. Scott is the least closed minded person I have ever dealt with. He is available 24/7 to answer questions, and help other dev's where so many will not share.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
TBH, I would have made another one but I wanted to get this done for my device. I dont own a Deb, I own a flo.

Given enough time, Like the weekend, I would have probably updated again when I had time.

I drop and pick up devices all the time.

MultiRom has ZERO to do with my descion. Nothing, the discussion of it, nothing.

I just want to be able to see my wife before she goes to sleep tonight. I have been working on this since the day the source code was uploaded. Sometimes I need a break.

Multirom Related Queries Is Not His Problem .

There Is Specific Thread For Multirom Discussion

Once again, this has NOTHING to do with MultiROM.

It has to do with me having and keeping a life outside of XDA.

Scott On Latest Build When I Flash Gapps Play store Is Giving Fc Telling Playservices has stopped ???

What Do I Do ??

And When I Am Trying To Switch To Guest Mode Nothing Happens Only Black Screen And Nothing On Display ??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] metalblaster:
Yes im getting some wierd gapps issues as well with the newer build after updating from the original OTA release. Not only that but after seeing google search Force close and browser force close, i attempted to reflash the ota, wiping both cache and dalvik (out of habbit) and than just flashing the rom over top, it went into a softbrick on the google boot screen. Im going to try from scratch but this raises the question, does wiping dalvik on this rom do anything? When i first installed the new build i only wiped the cache partition but the 2nd time i wiped the dalvik as well, since the dalvik part was the only real change i assume it had something to do with my device bricking on the loading screen.

Anyone anyone know if wiping dalvik does anything?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] teddat:
Same here. Google play services force quits upon trying to set up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] freakzapster:

Also having the same issue with Google Play Services FC upon setup with any of the available 5.0 Gapps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] metalblaster:
yeah i confirm the Gapps problem on both a clean flash and a update flash. He said this version was just the last version but with the root baked into it more or less so im going back to the older one until this gets sorted. Thank god i made a backup.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, I will take a look at it tomorrow.

Ok, I reverted the links back to Build 2 which require the extra 2 zips. if someone comes along and asks about the zips help. I did not have time to do the write. I should be in bed!

I will figure this out tomorrow or this weekend.

Odd thing, The very first Pico Gapps works... Except that it causes the keyboard to F/C so I think I have a permissions issue somewhere.

This new system.dat format is very difficult to work with!

I am not sure if anyone wants to try and mod the boot.img or any part of the zip. Go for it. I take absolutely no credit, just putting it into zip as suggested by [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION]. I really hope [MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION] will reconsider remaking/fixing the files.

And of course need to flash SuperSU (preferably 2.19, beta for all the latest Lollipop items). http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

don´t have multirom
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
Are you using MultiRom? or Stock?

If using MultiRom...

1. Must be Primary Partition

2. Must have installed MultiRom (ZIP+ Modded Recovery) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2457063

3. Must Inject MultiRom into Primary Rom

4. Then Use Boot Zip

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lolo696:
Why ended support DEB ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] AarSyl:
Because he doesn't have a Deb. Furthermore, his Flo build is not even 100%. Probably better off focusing on what he does have, then work off of a very good base.

Lastly, he needs his family time. I can surely relate. Xda is my side hobby, and my wife and son are my real passion.

What instructions? I thought that it was download and flash...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Nedlinin:
I was under the impression that we had a save-recovery method we had to follow. Perhaps that was the original build and not R2?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mrw1215:
So, forgive my ignorance, but I'm just not as tech savvy as a lot of other people here, and I don't want to mess anything up. My N7 is rooted, with 2.7.x.x of TWRP. I believe I'm currently running an older version of CleanROM, 3.5 or 3.6 I think. I don't really understand everything about updating the bootloader, and everything, to be able to use this ROM, nor that save recovery bit. If I wait until the errors are worked out of the latest build (build 3), do I not need to worry about any of that stuff? IE, can I just flash that build and gapps in TWRP, and be fine? Or am I still going to have to manually update the bootloader and whatnot, regardless?

Again, forgive my ignorance. I only ever use ADB and fastboot to initially unlock the bootloader, get a custom recovery installed, and whatnot, and after that, I never touch it again, as I do all the flashing and everything on the device itself. So my knowledge of these extra steps is very limited.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] tiny4579:
Weird issue with a clean install coming from the 2nd lollipop preview. When I wiped and flash (had too many FC's from installing B2 and the recommended gapps without wiping), I can't access my sdcard to restore via Titanium and my file explorers don't show anything in the virtual /sdcard location (or /storage/emulated/0 or legacy). But they show in /data/media/0. It wasn't an issue when dirty flashing. Is /data/media/0 no longer the proper location? I just flashed the ROM, rooted boot.img, and the file that prevents stock recovery from being flashed along with the recommended gapps in the OP as well as Supersu (2.16).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] tiny4579:
Just saw this. Giving it a try.

EDIT: Yep. works great. I don't know why this would happen though and not to everyone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] AarSyl:
It's funny how many problems that different people are having. I am fully Stock with no issues. Lucky me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lahegry:
Same for me, course I'm lazy and used that handy dandy wugs toolkit to wipe and flash. [emoji6] easy that way
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Ajfink:
Besides some screen rotation issues, I haven't had a single problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] borxnx:
You'll need the new bootloader regardless, it's part of the update to 5.0. However, the bootloader update process provided here is SUPER easy.

Download the bootloader update zip, unzip it, open that folder in windows explorer, boot the tablet to fastboot mode, plug it in to PC, and run the update bootloader .bat file. Bam, bootloader updated.

Then if you want 5.0, boot to recovery (I'd advise getting the newest version, yours is a bit dated). Flash ROM, gapps, modified boot.img, SuperSU 2.16, and save recovery zip. It's a couple extra things to flash, but works.

I will note that it took much longer than usual to boot the first time. Don't assume it's bootlooping unless it takes more than ten minutes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] nuvkyl20:
help pls, i flashed this rom but forgot to flash the rooted img, and save recovery. Now upon rebooting to bootloader then choosing reboot recovery, recovery is gone. what to do.thanks

Scott, im new to ROM building and i would like to learn how to root a ROM so its rooted out of the box.

Could you help me on that or somewhere i could look for info on this.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Not really. Consider this for a moment...

Flo has 1500 downloads in less than 48 hours. If you calculate the number of people that reported any sort of issue which was generally later fixed by a different version of Gapps or a fresh install you get an error rate of about .01%. Thats counting about 15 people with issues. Even if it was 150 people that reported issues then the error rate would be .1%

Thats actually pretty good no matter what.

People who dont have problems dont post. So its natural to see people post only with problems.

IF everyone that posted they had no issues... This thread would be over flowing and I am kinda glad they dont because then we would not be able to help those that do have issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, as long as its not Android 5.0.0 Appearantly I need more work on that, lol :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I updated the instructions to be more clear.

Flash ROM, Flash Save recovery.

If you want Root then flash Rooted Boot.img and then Flash Super SU.

Thats it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] AarSyl:
Ok, let me rephrase that a little better. It's amazing how many diffrrent problems that people are having. It's not like most people suffered from any single bug, but the variety is a bit scattered.

That's my original thought.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I agree... But I hate to use the term "User error" so I wont... So I will leave it to your imagination... :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
Would it be possible for you to put Deb (along with Flo) in forum title for time being, so that way people could more easily discover your great work...[emoji1]
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
I did.

Could you get the 1800 or so people that downloaded the ROM over the past 48 hours to please hit thanks on the OP? This OP started with 177 Thanks from prior builds its now at 202. Thats 35 thanks for 1800 downloads.

I feel like I am being used and put away wet here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hhairplane:
I wish I could do that, but sadly I only count for one thanks :crying: You definitely deserve that many thanks! I am really sorry that you feel that way; I think I would probably feel the same if I was in your position. It is sad that people seem to expect a perfectly functioning ROM and complain when it's not. I cannot thank you enough for the work that you have done.

I hope that you have at the very least gained a greater working knowledge of Lollipop and had fun doing this (or at least seeing the rewards of your hard work). I really truly cannot thank you enough.

Also, please don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps condensing/removing a few "enter"/blank lines (or moving screenshots to second post) from the OP might increase your thanks. I can't remember how many times people ask questions, before they read the entire Original Post. It frustrates, but maybe if there was less to read or scroll through....

[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] I've noticed that most people here doesn't pay attention to you. Because if they did, someone would have noticed that 15 is a 1% or .01 times 1500, and 150 would be .1 times or 10% of 1500. Nonetheless, if anyone is not ready to work on some minor bugs or read through the solutions given... Better he/she sticks with stock (which anyway will have some bugs), or your Kitkat goodies ftw.
