[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] scampo77:
Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I am desperate

I am new to modifying these things and I am not having much luck teaching myself how to do this. My ultimate goal is to install this tablet in my car. I have built a side slider out of fiberglass so when it slides in, the tablet lines up with the micro USB port, I need it to charge the tablet while connecting to an external thumb drive which hopefully will be buried inside the dash.

Screw up #1 I found out that I need to "root" the thing in order for the usb mount to work properly, I kept getting an error about SU not installed. So I found and followed this>>> wugfresh.com/nrt it was easy enough to follow and I ended up with a rooted device. (a new look, with new icons 1)

Screw up #2 Something happened and it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the new operating system, I said "sure why not" so it jumped to something called KitKat 4.4. (A new look, with new icons 2)

At this point I can have a single thumb drive but not charge at the same time. So I kept looking around and found....

Screw up #3 this website... ://mehrvarz.github.io/nexus-7-usbrom this guy seems to have solved all the problems I am having. I followed the install steps and it says this......

•If you are NOT currently running CM 10.1 or USB ROM, you need to first do a factory reset (wipe data partition). This will remove all your apps and custom settings. You may want to install GApps on top

•If you are already running CM 10.1 or USB ROM, you can just roll USB ROM installer "over". It will not harm your apps or custom settings.

Screw up #4 I go hunting to find out how to get CM 10.1 or what it even is and install this (A new look and new icons 3) turns out its something called cynagenmod?? I think its yet another operating system

Screw up #5 and the last nail in the coffin. I find and install this thing. timur.mobi/files/c33/timur-usbhost-2013-04-21-cm10.1.zip

Symptoms as it sits right now,

1. It wont shut off and stay off, it will go to sleep but I cant just hold the power button to shut it off, if I do it automatically restarts and goes to sleep (I think this is possibly by design)

2. far more distressing when it starts it hangs on a pop up that says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"

there is no way to click on anything before this shows up, if I click ok it just keeps popping up. this is about 12 hours of reading and installing and I am pulling my hair out!!! I can build 10 custom fiberglass dashes in the time it takes to get this thing to charge and use a USB drive.

My questions are

1. Are these operating systems I keep installing? 4.3, 4.4, CM10

2. Where do I go from here? do I install the original operating system? reinstall this CM10 thing?

Any help on this would sure help me out. Thanks in advance, Jason
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lKBZl:
There is just one Operating System, called Android. 4.3 and 4.4 are updates of that OS, just like windows 7, windows 8, etc... but not that big updates. Cyanogenmod (CM) 10 is a ROM for Android. So it's Android but with some changes, so you can understand, it's customized and has some tweaks and mods.

If you install cm10, what you're doing is just add those themes and tweaks on the stock os that you had. So you're basically installing an "update" made from a team of people who is not the creators of Android (unofficial if you wanna call it like this). If you look on the forum, android development, you'll find cm10 there. It's a ROM as I said, and there are the steps to follow in order to install it.

Hope I helped Jason, goodluck!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] scampo77:
Thanks for the response, this cleared things up a bit. I have re installed the CM10 and now I can move around and click on things again. I still cannot get the USB hub to work while charging the tablet. I will keep installing stuff till it explodes
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] scampo77:
So what is Kitkat? is this a newer version of jellybean?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] seejeremy:
Yes it is. Google names their Android versions after sweets. 4.0 was Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.1-4.3 were Jelly Bean and 4.4 is Kit Kat. 4.4.1 is the latest version of Kit Kat.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] naturecannon:
SO you have a powered OTG cable? And u want the tablet to charge in car and use a thumb drive at the same time? Well I know the elemenx Kernal Supports USB OTG + charge mode

This is what I suggest:

First do a backup while your up and running. Go into your recovery and choose backup. Backup (if any issues later you can always restore)

After backup, load all the files below on the root of your tablet.

NOW Wipre, Use the factory reset option in your recovery (TWRP etc...)

Install/flash ALL files below (in your recovery again) and in order I listed. When all goes well backup again

Install this rom CleanROM 2.5

Install this Kitkat bootloader

Install this KernelElementalX 2.3 For your USB OTG + charge mode

NOTE: When Installing Elemental x kernel pay attention in the install options. You may have to choose the USB OTG + charge mode option.

The first link is CleanROM 2.5. Your Operating system per say. It is pretty much a stock rom with some performance enhancements. Youll be happy with it. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidshadow:
if you are looking for just a quick fix instead of messing around with custom kernels (which is a great learning process by the way) you could just order a docking station from amazon. However, as you probably know by now trying to flash custom roms can leave you with a bricked system. Dont worry Nexus can be saved and I will give a you a good link/tutorial on how to do it. Getting back to the docking station... I believe they run about $30 but it would allow you to charge your tablet and run an OTG cable at the same time. Keep trying to flash (install) a custom kernel that allows USB + OTG (on the go cable) charge mode.

If you completely brick your system...and I mean completely brick here is a great tutorial on how to get your system back up to its original factory settings and then you can just go ahead an root your tablet and start over again. Here is the link -> http://blog.laptopmag.com/how-to-hard-reset-a-bricked-nexus-7-with-your-pc

Here is another option that you should look into...

Look into "multi rom" there is a nice app you can get from the google play store called "multirom manager" and it will allow you to install a modified recovery manager which allows you to boot multiple operating systems on your Nexus 7. You can keep your "stock/original" operating system and install cyanogenmod as a secondary operating system, or the ROM that naturecannon mentioned above and you could use that secondary android rom when you need USB + OTG charge mode capabilities.

Here is a link to the multi manager rom thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2457063

I hope it helps.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] scampo77:
Thank you to everyone for all of the help. I have posted like 6 threads and this seems to be the only one that has people willing to help and give me advice, so thanks to all!!

Is anyone here familiar with "timurs kernel"? I am too new to these forums to post a link to the website, but this seems to be my answer in many ways, It is designed specifically for turning this tablet into an automotive installation. I just need help configuring and installing it. there doesn't seem to be much tech support out there for it and it only seems to work on android 4.2. or cyangenmod 10.1. the problem is these software releases seem to be obsolete. I would like to work with this because it seems to have a bunch of options I am interested in like having the tablet shut off with the key and always operating the tablet on its side.

for now, because I can only seem to get help on this forum I will follow these steps

Install this rom CleanROM 2.5

Install this Kitkat bootloader

Install this KernelElementalX 2.3 For your USB OTG + charge mode

NOTE: When Installing Elemental x kernel pay attention in the install options. You may have to choose the USB OTG + charge mode option.

after downloading the first "clean rom 2.5.zip" I saved it to my tablet in downloads, then I restart my tablet while using the power and both volume buttons. go to recovery mode, then I go to install zip from downloads, it starts working for 2 seconds then says (status o) installation aborted and it wont let me continue

Is there a way to do this from my PC? when I install cyanogenmod its all done from my computer and I just plug the tablet into a USB port. this seems to be dummy proof.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:
Pretty sure that Timur kernel is for the Nexus 7(2012).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] scampo77:
It looks like this "timurs kkernal" is out dated now and was for last years model. I don't think it will work for me without modification

I am left with trying to do this clean ROM install, I am having difficulty trying to get it to install. I am installing from the boot screen but it doesn't seem to be working, am I doing something wrong? Is there a loader I can use from PC to install stuff?

If I do get this to work will I still be a super user?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] scampo77:
Can someone please link me to something or tell me how to install this clean rom?

Flashed the ROM !

the UI looks pretty much like 4.4, however expected white battery icon :good: and unlike everyone said, this ROM is actually smooth, root permission is WORKING! liked the status bar layouts very much,

camera is reversed, though it can be fixed with the reverse fix package which we used for FXP ROMs,

[MENTION=3862405]SpaceCaker[/MENTION], i think you can add the fixes later added, for front cam, reverse prob, WiFi tethering, WiFi sleep bug, in CM10 Limited edition and AOSP, may be in the next build ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SpaceCaker:
thanks.

can u link me to the fixes because i cant seem to find a clear info/package of what the fixes contain and such only a Rom zip file.?

i have used FXP,s Latest Device/Vendor configs so i,d hoped that this wouldnt happend.

about battery icon ?

i think i will port the Batterycontroller from cm11 to JB4.1.2 but i am not sure how it handles with the theming ability of CM

as from what i lastly heard of cm11 was that the battery was unthemeable.

thats why i used Mere Pngs,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] miaad:
Ooh, I just stepped out, the fixes have been used in CM10 LImited edition ROM,

I couldn't port the batterycontroller either, so I used white battery pngs.
