[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Hnk1:
This post is no more updated !

Now just type in and check which apps are working with Lollipop

HERE

For those planning on keeping Android L!

Download link :

https://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html

Download image and use flash all.bat for windows. Make sure you don't remove -w from flash all.bat as android l needs complete wipe with clean install. All your data /apps on your nexus would be lost! Make sure to make a backup!

Read complete instructions for flashing an image HERE

Apps that need a work around

-FX File Explorer w/ Root Add-on doesn't work until you configure it to use the system busybox instead, but after that it seems to work fine.

-Download Titanium Test Built from their twitter or see post 501- 5 on page 51 for link/instructions! Free version is supported now

-Need Quickboot? Download BusyBox Installer by JRummy and use its scripter to boot into recovery/restart etc

-Facebook; downgrade it! download here

-MX player test build works like a charm.

-ElementalX works fine 2.13v but battery life extender doesnot work

-Bulletproof 2.2

-Franco (not personally tested)

Rooting :

You will first need to flash latest twrp [given in link below] (2.7.1.1) and then boot into recovery and flash root.zip in twrp. Update SuperSU from Google play!

Root.zip link

For recovery

Recovery links

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo

Or

http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/flo

Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:

fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img

Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.

The stock ROM will automatically replace TWRP with the stock recovery. To prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP, boot TWRP, go to the mount menu and mount system, press the home button, then press Advanced -> File Manager. Browse to /system and select the file named recovery-from-boot.p then choose to rename the file to recovery-from-boot.bak

PROBLEMS WITH ROOT/BUSYBOX OR ANYTHING SUCH ?

Try this method :

-flash custom boot.img from here CUSTOM BOOT IMAGE

-download recovery from above and flash it using fastboot commands

-flash SuperSU from twrp. Link above

You can use NRT (Wugfresh tool) to execute these commands as well but you will need to choose custom images!

You will not get full root unless you are on busybox 1.22.1 stericson. The system is protected so flash custom boot.IMG/boot.zip via recovery to gain write permissions!

NO GALLERY APP

Surprisingly, there is no gallery app with Android L built in. Install from attachment like normal apk!

Push to system to make it a system app
