Which device you have, this is only for Nexus 7 Wi-Fi (2012) -> Grouper
[Nexus 7 Android Development] acidspider:
False? Maybe a bad download. Dr download and try to flash again
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JovieBrett:
Thanks! Nevermind, it's my fault mehehe :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] superuser.pm:
yes it's nexus7wifi(2012)-grouper .First i use TWRP 2.6.0.0 flash rom ,it's false after i update TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash rom cm11 but still not being.

Is there a way to change LCD density on this ROM, I tried ROM toolbox but it doesn't stick on reboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
System is up, development environment prepared (I was much quicker now :D), downloading source (instead of backup, a lot of garbage was collected over time)...

It has arrived CM11 M1
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abuttino:
Going to m1?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gk1984:
I was able to boot cm11 m1 fine. Just wiped system, left data alone. It just took a long time to get past the boot screen.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] J.Abaraxas:
Any noticeable major changes
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abuttino:
Does that mean Zeljko has to stop building?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gk1984:
Not sure yet. My ART is still building the cache. Might not know tonight and busy all weekend
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
If CM will make nightly builds then I don't need to do the same but I'll continue to build. I can start with some cherry-pics, different toolchain or tweaks which some of you requested.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abuttino:
I don't know if this has been asked.. Can you tap to pay with this ROM?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] fattire:
Ditto. Works fine for me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I would like to thank you again for your guide and help. Yesterday afternoon I installed my system from scratch, partitioning, install Linux, Android SDK, Oracle Java, dependencies, environment... I'm not new in Linux but definitely I learned more :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
New build is up, synced about less than two hours ago. Built from first attempt after re-installation of the system.

It's still pure CM11 but now with nightly builds I can play with code.

P.S.

If you open gdrive, you may see that I actually made two builds. One synced in the morning and one afternoon.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chand9336:
So is it 4.4.1 now?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
No for now. I downloaded CM code and AFAIK they didn't merge with 4.4.1. But good idea, btw :)

Hey people..Just read that Nexus 5 has a "Google Experience Launcher" ..Do we also have this launcher in this build?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
Hi All

I am getting a 2013 N7 that will be mounted permanently into my car.

I'm looking for app suggestions etc to get the best experience possible out of it in this function.

I will be using it mainly for Music/Emails/Navigation and maybe the odd video etc.

- What Car App's would you all recommend? I have started trying this one IG88 Car Dock Home (sorry I can't post a link, its on google play though)

Which looks good so far (testing out on my S3), I can manage to get it looking nice with a button for navigation and a widget for my gmail. The main thing I'm looking for to make this Car app better is a large music player widget? I currently use Mixzing, but the play/forward buttons are too small on the widget for this Car app.... Does anyone know of any music players that have a massive button widget? All I really need to see is play/pause, skip and the band and song name on the widget. Nothing else really?

- I will be getting a microphone installed (hopefully in the steering wheel). So is there any decent voice control apps? For this I imagine I would love to control music, and navigation. And maybe dictate emails perhaps by voice?

- I plan to make a wifi hotspot on my phone when ever I get into the car (so the tablet can use my mobile internet for navigation/emails). Is there a way also to take my calls from my phone through the tablet (and thus through the car speakers and microphone?

- I am planning to look into Tasker to set all this up to run smoothly. Like when the car gives the tablet power, to bring it out of sleep mode, turn things on and start the car app etc. Is there a way to do this on my phone (currently S3), so that when I get in the car, my phone automatically starts a wifi hotspot?

- Would there happen to be an andriod accessory that could send play/pause/skip commands to the tablet? Like a remote control I guess. As I could gut this and mount it into the steering wheel?

Lots of questions I know, there will probably be more to. The main one is the music widget to be honest, that car app looks pretty good as long as I can get the music control widget buttons big enough for ease of use in a car. (I'd almost be willing to pay someone to develop a little music control widget if its not that hard)

Thanks in advance for all your help.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] makers_mark:
Have you tried Car Home Ultra? Awhile back I was following mp3car.com and he was using that on his head unit, I've used it before but you'd have to try it yourself to see if you like it.

As far as getting your phone to start tethering automatically; if your car always stayed at the same location it'd be easy, but the only thing I can think of is using an NFC tag to swipe your phone by, or lay on, when you get into your car. And use Tasker from there. There's got to be something better though with two devices knowing they're in close proximity in some instances, I don't know.

For the wireless audio controls... Sixaxis would work, but you'd have a ps3 controller floating around your ride. And your bluetooth would be tied up.

Edit : Here is a good read.

Nexus 7 Custom Dock

heres my nexus 7 car install

GMD Gesture Control

Tablet Talk

Zooper Widget Pro

Media Utilities

Tasker

Secure Settings

Car Mode Control

Car Home Speedometer

ADWLauncher EX

No Lock

that about sums up my app list for car use

---------- Post added 28th November 2013 at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was 27th November 2013 at 11:56 PM ----------

follow up to my post

use zooper and media utilities to make a large widget for music metadata and cover art

use gmd gesture control to make gestures for play/pause next and previous shortcuts from media utilities

gmd gesture control will also have gestures to pop up 5 different docks that you can put whatever apps you want on, they hide as soon as you select something \

best thing about gesture control is that you can do the gesture anywhere on the screen from any app on the screen so you can play/pause skip or back track while maps is on the screen or any other app, so rather than looking for a music widget with bigger buttons just use gesture its far superior

Car Home Ultra is a great dock app for a standard dock but I find creating your environment yourself far more rewarding and more informative, standard docks rely on making big easy buttons I like having no buttons and being able to use everything i traditionally use a home screen for on any screen I am looking at whether its maps gmail pandora play music or even the play store I can launch my docks with that app open

going to make another video of my dock using gesture control and will link it here as well
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bossman137:
I've gone the way of a full fledged car pc a few years back...

http://www.mp3car.com/show-off-your-project/150890-toyota-camry-2007-white-beauty.html

I've come out of it a fabricator, but realized what features are important in a car entertainment system and what are... fluffy.

1. Find a way to control as the driver. No one will use this system more than you.... while you drive. I had grand ideas of air mouses and fancy keyboards, but IMO nothing can replace a few well though out buttons as near to you as possible. If your car has built in steering wheel controls, but this!

http://www.rcjoycon.com/base_3/menu_10.php?com_board_basic=read_form&menu=10&com_board_idx=14

even if it doesn't buy a few resistive switch buttons and this board will still work. You can map the keys to do whatever you want them to do on your tablet.

2. audio quality.

If you're rocking stock audio basic system, bluetooth would suffice. but if you've put any money into your system then bluetooth is just such a sacrafice in fidelity. Some people are using digital to analog converters. I've always been able to get excellent quality from the 3.5mm.

3. OTG cable.

currently there is very limited support of this feature of the gen 2 nexus 7. Elemental kernal provides support, but especially with the new release of 4.4 it's working through buts. But i feel relieable otg/charging y cable is essential this provides:

a. slot for removable storage

b. periferasl (mouse, keyboard, joycon)

c. reverse camera

d. charging

4. Apps

-n7 player

-audio glow wallpaper (SOO slick)

-google experience launcher (GEL), incorperates translucent nav and status bars which adds a lot of vertical screen, excellent voice command integration (good for driving).

-nexus media importer

-Torque (need correspondingblue tooth module)

...still working on this list myself

5. Freedompop (should be number 1, can't believe i forgot this)

I bought a wireless hot spot device from them for 40$. It was a sale, it includes 1 month of free 2gb internet. BUt this is they key... after the first month you can continue to use 2gb of data for 20$ montly, or downgrade to 500mb... FOR FREEE.

Will you be streaming videos, no of course not, but this would allow ample bandwidth for the important activities in a car, namely: navigation google maps, plenty of data to browse with, and even moderate music streaming.

I did the whole create hot spot with phone thing for a bit and phone gets hot, drains battery like nuts, and i never figured out a way to automate it.

It is SOOO nice to just have one dedicated device that sits in the car and provides free internet for not just me but guests.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
Wow thanks guys for the responses, seems I have a lot to work through.

I think I'll tackle one question at a time.

So it seems that I need to set up this OTG cable thing.

My questions is, I need to have the power permanently attached to the microUSB port of the Nexus (otherwise it will go flat haha). From google a OTG Y Cable is what I need as it can charge and give usb data at the same time?

I have searched and searched around NZ sites (I live in NZ) and I can't seem to find one, I can find plently of OTG cables, but not one with a USB for power and USB for devices.

So after more googling it looks like I could go down the OTG cable to Powered USB hub path? With a powered USB hub would I be able to plug the power supply into one USB port, and then a remote/memory stick etc into the others? Would this provide charging and use at the same time?

In regards to powered USB hubs, do you guys know of any well known products that I can use in a car environment? (voltage and all that)?

Thats it for now, its all quite complicated and confusing to me so I'll just ask one topic at a time :)

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Duffmantp:
I understand what you are doing but couldn't you use a unlocked n7 (im sure you got your n7 already). And with kitkat and google always on would you have a need for a lot of the add ons. I,was thinking of doing the same thing. So I will follow this thread for a while.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
Well I'm certainly keen for some physical buttons on the steering wheel. I am installing it into a Mazda Atenza dash navi compartment thing replacing the not functional japanses navi screen. Its a bit of a reach from the drivers seat so basic media controls would be awesome in the steering wheel.

And to use that thing for steering wheels I would need a spare usb port (as well as charging).

I just ordered a Y cable OTG from Ebay (that ships to NZ woo) but that might take awhile so I am going to have the car installation guys install everything so I can access it through the glove box. So I can set this up later.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
About the accessories to control music play/pause/fwd/red:

I know of two options:

1. Paired Pebble watch (unfortunately it only pairs with one device so you would have to manually pair it of you also wanted top use with your phone)

2. Paired Bluetooth audio control in the car (mine only pairs with one device) like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009NLTW60/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1385907362&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I use 1. With my phone and 2. With my tablet and have a switch installed so I can control where the audio is generated from to my car speakers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
I must be missing something here lol. The 2nd option, how does that control the music player on the tablet? It looks like a bluetooth hands free kit?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
It is, but it has controls on it. Play/pause by a push on the device itself, fwd/rwd on the top edge. It controls Google play music without any kind of set up. Though you probably have to start it on the tablet first, I'm not sure if it can start the music app too like the pebble does. They both use Bluetooth to connect and control.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
Ah ok didnt see the controls, so that 2nd one can connect to the tablet (which has all the music and music player on it) and can control the music? So there's no need to actually plug it into anything as the controls are all sent via bluetooth?

But I wont be able to pair it to my phone at the same time right?

This might be a good way to go as it doesn't require massive cable work.

Edit: Ah I see, no I dont think this will work... The Nexus 7 tablet sound out will be connected directly to the head unit under the dash (hard wired). What I need is something to bluetooth media controls to the tablet, and the tablet to send out sound to the head unit like normal. I think this thing takes the sound via bluetooth to the kit thing and then the kit thing plugs into the aux port on the head unit?

Would it be possible to just not plug in the kit thing? And have it just send media controls but not recieve sound?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aznrice2k4:
Looking for a mount? Check this out

In my scion, I have both my HTC One X and N7 connected. You need to disable Media Option on your phone in bluetooth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
The Nexus 7 is getting mounted into the dash professionally so I don't need a mount, I'm currently investigate ideas on how to get controls onto the steering wheel for the media part of the tablet.

You say "disable Media Option on your phone in bluetooth"

Would this mean that I could use the bluetooth handsfree kit suggested above as a controller only? With the sound still going out the tablets 3.5mm jack?

Scosche Universal Bluetooth Handsfree

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aznrice2k4:
Possible with soundabout
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
My tablet is not permanently installed, but needs no wires. The Bluetooth kit connects to the car's aux in jack, and the N7 connects to the Bluetooth kit wirelessly via bluetooth. So you can have sound through the car speakers whether the tablet is docked, in your coat or purse or wherever. I also have a home made version of a qi charger dock, to avoid dealing with usb charging wires when I need the display. (It barely charges so i need to improve on that). I don't know how this would change for a permanent install. I do have a switch to control input to my aux in jack, because my phone dock audio is connected to that also. You may be able to rig up something but its beyond what I know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
I've heard that bluetooth audio is bad though.

I sent an email to Kinivo about that product, and they replied back saying they tested my scenario in their lab and it worked, so I might be going down that route after all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
I don't really notice any difference in audio quality when I stream Google play music on my phone through aux in vs this Bluetooth device. I'm no audiophile so there could be a difference I don't hear, but it sounds pretty good to me though I have stock speakers which many people hate and I don't mind so you shouldn't rely on my opinion. If it could connect multiple devices and have a usable microphone for phone calls I would like it more. But for now, I haven't found a better solution. And as an added bonus, it blends into my dash perfectly, same exact color.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stildawn:
Well I think it should work just as a remote anyway.

So now that I think (wont be able to confirm until the Kinivo arrives from the US) I have a hard button solution which I will be mounting on the steering wheel for easy access. I can do away with a Car Dash application, since the driver wont be touching the screen much anyway. I'll just design my home screen in away that suits the car situation.

My next question is in regards to sleep mode, since the tablet will essentially be on running on battery the entire time the car is not being used. Can anyone run me though how to get it into a deep sleep mode when the power is cut (by turning the key off)?

I noticed that in normal sleep mode if I get an email a led will start blinking? I need as much stuff turned off as possible.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] brianf21:
I just install the Grom Audio device in my car. If I use the default configuration, the controls on my steering wheel will control the nexus 7, but USB audio only works with their application. Which means the music library has to be local. If I change the config, the USB audio will work with all applications but only the volume control on the steering wheel works. I don't think this issue is clearly stated on their website or YouTube video. USB audio or control.

This device is good for people who want to keep the stock radio.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Anyone have any unique ideas on using a wireless button to activate Google voice search or some other task on Nexus 7 when the 7 is docked in my car. I am able to do this using my Bluetooth headset on my Nexus 5 by hitting the call button. Unfortunately the Nexus 7 does not recognize the call button when I pair the same headset with the Nexus 7. Any ideas or accessories that could do this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gregthomas129:
Right now I'm just using the standard launcher with a widget app called power toggles to get a power, mute, and audio control buttons on the home screen. At one point I used a launcher called Frontend. It's built for a car install and is pretty good but it has a few quirks that i didn't care for.

As for the button... There is an app called Open Mic that will listen for a phrase of your choice to activate Google Now, similar to the Ok Google setup in Kitkat. If you try it let me know how it works, voice control doesn't work very well for me at the moment as a result of the Nexus mic being behind the dash and the loud exhaust in my Mustang so i haven't tried it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gregthomas129:
Not sure how well the OTG charging will work, most everyone uses Timur's USBRom which has OTG host mode charging built in and was built for the 2012 version and doesn't work for the 2013 version. Just be aware that there is a difference.

Tablet volume controls the audio volume from a UCA202 DAC

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

As far as I know no one has gotten the audio input to work on the UCA202. I've been researching wiring in an external mic directly to the internal mic port.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

I'm using a Scosche Motormouth II paid to my phone with the output Y'ed in with the DAC output and an app called Tablet Talk which when paired to my phone mutes my tablet when there's a text and pauses audio when a call comes in. Good luck with the IPhone though.

I use an app called Timeriffic to adjust brightness based on time of day.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zandrm:
flar2's ElementalX kernel supports OTG+charging, though it's a bit finicky. The most reliable solution barring any further kernel improvements seems to be switching the OTG pin when power is available. That's a bit cumbersome, but as I'll probably be modifying a hub anyway, not a dealbreaker.

Ah, good to know. Folks were clamoring for USB DAC volume control in the ElementalX thread, and I don't yet have a 202 to test with.

Which would save the trouble of a preamp. Nice. I was wondering if it would still be possible to get audio out of the DAC if I just connected to the 3.5mm jack for the mic, but replacing the internal mic is pretty elegant.

Yeah, this is going to be a tricky one. I'm thinking a conventional car kit, and wire the mute output to the JoyCon ExD. That can press the play/pause key.

I'll look at that one.

Thanks for the pointers, I'm looking forward to getting this project going.
