Thank you. I found an app in the Play Store, ACUI Based, it looks like the same attached pictures, but have too many bugs, i can't use it:( . Zooper widgets is not what i'm looking.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pistacios:
I did the wallpaper thing also. Made this on my Chromebook with Pixlr:

Using Nova launcher prime

Desktop visualizer for the "invisible buttons". Each title is either an app shortcut or jumps to another home screen.

Phone -opens tablet talk phone

Text -opens tablettalk messaging

Music -jumps to a homesreen with music apps

Video -same as above, but video apps

Maps -same as above, but nav apps

Vehicle -opens Torque app

Multi picture live wallpaper (different wallpaper on each homescreen)

Tabletkat (for old honeycomb left side nav buttons and notifications)

Where can I find USB ROM?

The timur website doesn't have any options to join or buy or donate?

I found a reddit private subforum for T1mur but nobody has granted me access yet.

Also emailed T1mur three days ago but no answer yet.

I'm willing to pay but... can't figure out how?

EDIT:

Maybe a PM would be better.

I keep forgetting Timur's ROM isn't allowed on XDA due to it breaking the rules (per se) of open source or something.

Anyone here running external USB hard drive to store MP3's?

I'm finding that every time power is cut to the devices and then restored, my Nexus 7 wants to re-scan the hard drive and therefore I have to wait like a minute or two before the same MP3's start showing up to play again.

There must be a better way of doing this so the Nexus 7 remembers the drive and what's installed on it?

This is my Nexus 7 (2013) car install in my 2010 GMC Sierra. Just so happens that our Nexus 7 tablet fits just right inside of a 7" double din face plate adapter. Only had to cut out the backside around the USB and the headphone jack. I've got a Pioneer media player w/mixtrax that I've cut into the bottom of the removable plastic dash piece just below the A/C. Had to modify behind the Pioneer media player to accept the head unit as far as the depth goes. One good thing about the media player is that it's only about 4½" inches deep. It's hooked up like normal to all the speakers and sub. It's what drives all the speakers. The Nexus is what I stream YouTube, Pandora, or internet, etc. It gets its data from my Nexus 6P's hotspot. The radio is bluetoothed to the Nexus 6P and has Pandora built in. The Nexus 7 (2013) is bluetoothed to my OBD2 module plugged in under the dash to have all the GMC's diagnostics as well as another set of instruments if I choose. Plus with the 24's on my truck my speedo is not accurate so I can see the true speed with the OBD2 thats calibrated for my tire size or the GPS from the tablet. I've got an OTG cable plugged into the Nexus 7 thats powered by the cig lighter that are now hidden behind the dash and the other side comes out to the custom carbon fiber face on the dash. The other USB goes to the other hidden cig lighter for any standard USB to recharge your phone. Theres also another USB for the Pioneer media center. I usually don't power down the Nexus 7 but if I do I have an ⅛" hole drilled above it for a metal rod specially bent to reach in to press the power button. Otherwise I've got a rom on it that has double tap to wake. As far as the stereo system itself, front doors loaded with Kenwood Excelon 5¼" and pillars sport the Kenwood Excelon 1" titanium tweeters. The back doors are loaded with Kenwood Excelon 6½" 2-ways. And for the Bass I've built a custom down fire sub box to hold my MTX 8000 series 12" dual voice coil sub. It's powered by MTX's 421D amplifier. Amp, sub, and box all per MTX sound specialist's recommendations. In sound competition it hits 142 dbl. Not bad for one 12" sub. And yes the whole system is crystal clear no distortion. And it's 5.1 surround via Pioneer media center head unit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] redracer:
Hey all, I've gone down the path of installing my nexus 7 in my truck's dash. (Chevy Silverado 2500 '05 with Bose) and have mostly completed it. I wanted to pass along the details to one piece in particular... the steering wheel controls interface.

Oh, and for those with the Bose system that wants to do this, the input levels are Line Levels, so no amp or converter are necessary. Just buy one of the cheap tone boxes that come with the harness and splice a TRS end onto it and BAM! Good to go!

Now, for the interface... This was accomplished with an Arduino Leonardo that I had laying around. This model is important as it can do Keyboard (and mouse) emulation natively. It turned out to be as simple as locating the wires going into the Body Control Module, cutting them (as the BCM provides 12v and that's too much), and splicing them over to the GND and A0 pins on the Arduino.

The code is available on github under rstellhorn/steering-wheel-analog-media
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] yldaedroid:
Timur is a jerk, bottom line. I paid for his Lollipop Kernel less than three months before he came out with the Marshmallow kernel. He wanted me to PAY AGAIN to get the kernel for M. There is no freaking way. The LP kernel was pretty good but I had some issues with the tablet freezing 40% of the time when it was supposed to go to sleep.

With that said, I switched to Elemental X last night. Using the latest nightly of CM13, and the newest Elemental X verion (5.17 I believe). USB OTG works while charging so that is good. Couple questions though. How can I get it to deep sleep on power loss and wake when charging? How can I get the USB OTG devices to be recognized when power is re-applied to the tablet? In addition is there a way to setup a wake/sleep boot image like in timurs kernel? I really liked that feature.

I have searched and searched and found a few proposed solutions but wanted to see what the general consensus is for a setup similar to mine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] redracer:
Try using the ElementalX 5.16 version and choose the fixed install option. It has the Timur patch so the USB OTG devices do come back after power loss. The only problem that I'm having with it is fastcharging isn't working, so I'm slowly discharging during use. USB slow charging does not keep up.

As for sleep / wake, I've setup a few tasker tasks to handle that. create a power off task for when it's not charging to lock the screen and turn off wifi / bluetooth. create a power on task that turns things back on once the screen is on. Oh and do the fastboot command to wake the screen on charging.

Another custom tidbit that I did... I setup a pin code lock on my nexus 7. But, to automate use I also programmed my Arduino that's handling my steering wheel interface to enter the code for me. So, on power on, the screen wakes, a second later the arduino passes a space bar key (to prompt for pin entry) then passes the code followed by a enter key, then on unlock the tablet is sent to the home screen by tasker. It all happens fast, but is still seen by the user.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DarkFoxDK:
I also use Tasker for handling wake/sleep. One thing I found to improve sleep battery life, was using Secure Settings to turn on battery saving. But the most effective, was*switching location precision to device only, however, for some reason that can't be switched using Secure Settings, so I had to use AutoInput and simulate the taps to switch it...

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NNL:
Ha, same with me. Timur wants to charge me again. I defended him on here years ago and I feel like a fool. He removes the old kernal from his site and the funny thing is when ever I wanted to upgrade, I'd have to bug him to put me back on the build list.

Im not interested in using his software anymore.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xellion:
just did a car install with elementalx as my kernel, everything works well, shuts off when the car power is turned off, but the tablet itself will not stay in Deep Sleep all the time... so it will use 2-4 percent battery per hour (or more) and die too quickly to be plausible.

is there a specific Rom/kernel profile combo that anyone uses which gives great battery life?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DarkFoxDK:
I've had surprisingly good results with Cyanogenmod, but I also use Tasker to turn off location, turn on battery saver, and I'm very careful what apps I've got installed, I've also got Amplify to reign in some of the more unruly apps and services, but I'm not sure how effective it is.

I usually get 0-6% battery drain over 24 hours, depending on how things behave... There does seem to be a random element to it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xellion:
yeah, i've noticed the battery drain can be random depending on what apps i've run.

I have tasker shut basically EVERYTHING off when the screen is off for more than 30 seconds, i will randomly get "Alarm" wakelocks that keep the phone awake, not entirely sure what they are or how to stop them, Google Play Services also makes a lot of trouble
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pistacios:
I do exactly the same with tasker, shut down EVERYTHING which includes "greenify all apps" and also activate airplane mode.

Only time I've had excessive drain was Google play services wakelock, as you mentioned. Happens once every few months. Never had any "alarm" wakelocks.

I typically lose 1-2% overnight (10-12 hours idle).

bad sound

hi,

I need a little help...

I use on the tablet : Nexus 7 2013(flo) + Slim Rom 6.0.1 + ElementalX-N5-6.27

Everything works great except the sound. Constantly crackling sound.

I use in my car the tablet:

-Nexus 7 (2013) tablet ----->USB hub----> Behringer UCA222----> RCA cable---->Alpine PMX-F640 amplifier----> speakers

Why keep crackling sound? The kernel does not support Behringer amplifier? Someone using Behringer? What kind of rom and kernel this amplifier? Or wich one do you suggest rom+kernel and usb dac, which surely works well? sorry for my bad english...

Thanks so mutch!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] katsooba:
same problem here

i have two nexus 7 2013

one with cm 12.1 and elementalx 4.03

one with cm 14.1 and elementalx 6.04

the one with the CM12.1 works great with both of my DACs, one is a hifimediy and the other is the Behringer

they also work great on my galaxy NOTE 3 with android 4.4.2

BUT

when i connect my CM14.1 to the DACS i get constant crackling and popping sounds, no matter if its on youtube, mp3s or whatever

is there some kind of fix to the CM14.1 usb audio output?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bingoig11:
I use Macrodroid to completely shut down the tablet when charger is unplugged. I used a bootloader command (can't remember which one) to power the tablet up when charger ils plugged on it. This works great and only drawback is that the tablet is a little long to boot up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pistacios:
The command to power on when plugged in is:

fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cnordt24:
You are going straight from the Behringer UCA222 to the amp? I'm using the almost exact same setup as you, but I go from the Behringer UCA222 to a Clarion EQS755 then to my amp. The sound is very clean, no popping, and I have proper balance/fade/EQ adjustments as well as a subwoofer. You may want to try adding an EQ to clean things up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bamsbamx:
a very useful tip in any case the tablet shuts down:

reboot tablet into bootloader and type:

That way the tablet will turn on (and boot) when is off and connected to the charger/power

dashcam help

hi

I too have started building a nexus 7 2013 for my car , I have a question regarding a dash cam, I have searched the playstore to find an app to be able to background record from a usb camera and allow recording to usb storage (which I havnt been able to find),

id like to use either a usb webcam or what I was thinking about was the usb camera from the joying headunit range, which then got me also wondering if their car record app which is on their unit which is android kk, would work for the nexus with the joying cam or a web cam??

if not plug and play could the apk be modified to work ( beyond my capabilities I may add ) ive found a link to to where I came across the apk and a little info, but cant post external links

I pretty much have everthing ready to install, but would love to be able to get a dash cam incorporated, a good quality dedicated cam is just too dam expensive

hope someone can give me any helpful info, surely someone has maybe done?

PoBoy N7 Gen2 flo Car Setup

First off, Id like to thank all that has contributed to the Nexus7 car install effort.

Couldn't have done it w/out you.

Originally this all started w/ tasker and plugins, but as a newbie, got burnt out.

Off an on about 3 mos. Wanted this install done yesterday.

This rig is still under evaluation. (Arnt they all ?)

Goal 90%-100% tap free navigation, music, phone voice, text to voice, voice to text.

Currently 4-5 days power. Though Im rarely parked for more than 2 days.

No pics, basically its the same wallpaper everyone is using for car install.

Portable tablet mounted to right of steering wheel. Shows about 2" above top of dash.

The agony:

40% of time wasted w/ the backup cam using an EasyCap UTV007 and (3) different OTG cables. Power

was from constant 12v via solenoid. I suspect the prob may have been using 14.1

I started off w/ CM13.1. Not confirmed.

30% wasted w/ the Chrysler OEM RAQ radio. It does

not

have an AUX.

Went thru (2) PAC AAi-CHY adapters and later trying a 5-pin audio socket wired into the Audio In/Out.

None worked.

Replaced radio w/ a Reman Chrysler RES w/ AUX.

Still under evaluation:

Google Assistant - Sometimes goes to Teach The Assistant if it doesn't recognize. Tapping "Do It Later"

sometimes loops back to Teach.

Google Voice Access 2.0- Listening is too sensitive and numbers too small when driving.

Like this the best.

Hi guys I have a nexus 7 2013 installed in the car. The sound in managed through the dac zuperdac and the amplifier Alpine ktp 445u. The tablet mounts the last MM stock rom with timur's kernel. Actually the sound is good but I would like to improve the quality so I thought to install viper4android 2.4.0.1 but unfortunately I couldn't make it work with the dac, but only through the speakers.

Now my question is: are there some good sound mod that are suitable for my system?

Nexus7 In Car Followup

Ok, some probs here. Timurs Kernel 4.0 flo somehow stopped or corrupted. no deep sleep, etc. Uninstalled, now it wont re-flash, getting errors.

Seems like when CM13.1 was running I had no probs. Or is it just me ?

High pitch whine thru speakers, ground loop, suspect coming from improper connections to USB power hub.

Installed PAC GL Isolater for now. 90% gone. Need a nice day, weather has been awful, to go over wiring, grounds.

Music not as rich.

Need to find the vehicle computer timer for radio. Radio mode will switch out of AUX after a few minutes leaving vehicle.

Installed a 2nd rear view camera for driving, inside at rear glass. Sony 1/3 CCD 1000TVL w/6mm IR blocked lens. This was a $10 FPV board cam. 3D printed an enclosure.

I forgot most these FPV/security cams are forward view and IR sensitive.

Need to solder 10k resistor at "mirror" board terminals. Cant use 103 SMD, beyond the scope of soldering tool. This will (hopefully)flip(reverse) the image on LCD screen.

The 4% drain/day has now increased exponentially. Day 4 at 64%. <1 hr driving/day is not enough charge to keep up.

So Ill need a task for a timed shutdown and wake fastboot.

Hi all,

Need some quick help after just installing a N7 in my corvette. (Best mod I've done) The only negative so far is my last remaining problem, trying to get voice to work.

I used a Nexus 7, to OTG adapter, to USB extension, to a Anker USB hub, and then a FiiO E10K and a USB camera. I also used a ground isolator on the output of the E10. Literally the most hum free car audio system I have ever owned. The system it replaced hummed the moment the car turned on and drove me crazy.

My only issue that I haven't solved, is the mic situation. As the Fiio is connected, I believe the Nexus is trying to use the Fiio as a mic as well (which doesn't work as it doesn't have one). I've tried everything I can think of like a Bluetooth speakerphone, a wired mic into the headset jack, nothing works. I installed SoundAbout and spent over 2 hours trying various settings. I have never managed to get the Nexus 7 to hear me over anything (bluetooth, mic, or the built-ins) and have the USB output still work.

Can anyone help me solve the mic issue or do I need a different DAC?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fr4nk1yn:
I used a powered mic with my UCA202 and it worked, until I installed Viper4Android.

I'm debating installing MM on mine but I'd have to change the DAC and quite honestly besides a random crash out of reverse about once a week it my system works great and I don't want to **** with it.

Is there any benefit to having MM on an Infotainment tablet?

My problem is that Timur's Kernel isn't working properly.

Look at the attached images. The tables has correctly been in deep sleep for 99%+ of the time, yet the battery drain was massive and not sustainable.

This only happens if using Timur's power off deep sleep, if I turn off the screen with the home button, nothing like this happens.

You should search on XDA and google for various solution, however you should buy:

- camera ( search on eBay for rearview camera, it comes with distance signs and mirrored image and the cables you need to connect it)

- video acquire stick

Then you need to connect the camera +vcc to your reverse lamp of the car so it switch on when reverse gear is in.
