I just tried the v4 and I must say two things:

1- Great job! :good::D

2- I found two problems: a red edge all around the screen when an app requires the entire screen or when an error happens; when I try to install an apk downloaded from the web I get an error toast.
[Nexus 7 General] klaus27:
The red box is there because it's an sdk build. See if you can change the build type our launch type from ENG to user - maybe in build.prop

If this does not work, add the following two lines in build.prop

persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0

persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
It works! I changed the string "ro.build.type=en" into "ro.build.type=user" and no more red edges! :) Thank you [MENTION=1936648]klaus27[/MENTION]

A full wipe solved my problem with downloaded apps.
[Nexus 7 General] O2Blevel:
I've tried v3 with wifi fix and v4 but I don't have any wireless settings in the settings app. How did you enable wifi once you installed the missing libraries?
[Nexus 7 General] RobertsAccount:
If you install gapps it should take you through the wifi settings on initial setup.
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
You can use the WiFi toggle in the status bar
[Nexus 7 General] O2Blevel:
That seems to be my problem, setup crashes for me, don't know why, even though I can flash gapps without any problem.

EDIT: I'm on 4.4.4, anyone else having problems running the ported version?
[Nexus 7 General] Imacellist:
Are you using the correct gapps? Make sure you are using the ones in the OP and not the normal ones you are using.
[Nexus 7 General] O2Blevel:
Yes, that's the one I'm using. I'm downloading it again just in case I got a bad download the first time.
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
I don't have the wireless settings either, but I used the toggle in the status bar. No problem with Gapps. You can try with a full wipe.
[Nexus 7 General] Monfro:
You did and extremely great and appreciated job!!

Since the source released is incomplete, i think our devs will need time to succeed in compiling L-preview with KitKat blobs and stuff.

Anyway i see the work of the community is improving this rom really fast!!

We are waiting for V5 :) and a lot of us hope it will be possible to flash this on F2FS filesystem.

Thank you!!
[Nexus 7 General] kieranswhite:
https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/grouper/+/l-preview Pretty sure that's the source code :p
[Nexus 7 General] espaciosalter20:
some says that's incomplete, some other says that it's full source... mostly, there's problem about using binaries for grouper HW... there is none L-compatible right now
[Nexus 7 General] Imacellist:
It is the complete source but we are indeed missing the binaries for our devices. That just means they will have to hack some stuff together and splice from what we have to try to make things work. Hopefully someone out there that knows what they are doing gets it done soon. It is pretty exciting I have to say.
[Nexus 7 General] Ja_som:
Hi, I can't run it.

I have data f2fs formated, so I installed MultiROM according to THIS, flashed v4 zip file, flashed gapps from OP.

If I choose "Don't share" kernel, then when I choose Android L to boot, I get Error window (see picture)

If I chose "Share" kernel, then I get to bootloop
[Nexus 7 General] basuraunak:
Your base rom kernel does not have the kexec-hardboot patch.

Either use the app to install it or flash a kernel then use the patch option
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
[MENTION=5201515]Ja_som[/MENTION] have you converted the ROM to run on a F2FS system? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2731666
[Nexus 7 General] Ja_som:
If I choose some kernel from MultiROM manager, then I can't boot my primary ROM, because after bootanimation it wants password (see picture).

I flashed kernel from THIS post, which should have kexec-hardboot patch.

No, I have only data f2fs, not system.
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
On the first and second page of the thread that you linked there is a similar problem. Take a look.
[Nexus 7 General] mr_tawan:
Hi,

I just tried flashing the ROM into my GSM model Nexus 7 (tilapia). Obviously not a clever action!. It runs pretty much ok except that I don't have 3g nor wifi network.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
[Nexus 7 General] PabloCruzIII:
I'm flashing the ROM via multiROM now... How do we flash the gapps? In TWRP as we normally would? I've never used multiROM before.

Edit: nvm I think I got it. Followed the instructions to fix WiFi.
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
In TWRP -> Advanced -> MultiRom -> List -> choose the android L ROM -> Flash -> choose the gapps

I hope everything is correct [emoji4]
[Nexus 7 General] PabloCruzIII:
Everythings cool on my end. Most of the apps that couldn't be installed via the play store I just downloaded in getapk then installed with no issue. Two of the main ones for me being Chrome and Root Browser.
[Nexus 7 General] pknall:
Working great for me, except for the incompatible apps issue. Good job!

I would be very happy if you kept on working on it, since the source that Google published is not complete enough to start building yet (see http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ve-aosp-includes-support-nexus-4-5-7-2013-10/)

Thanks for the effort!

[Nexus 7 General] Imacellist:
He has said he tried and it didn't work. Don't ask for things, especially without reading through what he has said. Use multi ROM or do it yourself. The other revolutionary idea is to wait until google updates the device.
[Nexus 7 General] lucabi1:
Any idea about the PlayStore issue? Something in the build.prop?
[Nexus 7 General] ruicc:
Thanks. That's the spirit of a community... :rolleyes:

[Nexus 7 General] LucaAN4:
Sad

No more updates?
[Nexus 7 General] Kilroy.:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't MultiRom enable you to copy dualboot ROMs to the internal memory? I havn't tried it with this ROM, but I used this method, found in the MultiRom menu of TWRP, on other ROMs and it ALWAYS worked. Could be that it doesn't work with L...

Just an idea.
[Nexus 7 General] ronedogg:
Setup wiz crashes for me. Can't even make it to desktop. I dirty flashed from v2 to v3 then v4. I'll try a clean install.
[Nexus 7 General] karlmx:
Hello,

i confirm that this ROM works on the Nexus7 2012 3G.

Some bugs of course but very hopeful !

Thx !

:good:
[Nexus 7 General] frederic98:
Nice port!

For those having problems with Gapps, DON'T boot before you install Gapps. My setup wizard chashed after connecting to my WiFi.

I went to TWRP recovery -> Advanced -> MultiROM -> list ROMs -> *select repacked4* -> Wipe /data

Boot again, and everything should be fine!

I copied the chrome apk from my stock android KitKat to the sdcard partition, and installed it just fine in android L :)

If you want a shortcut on your launcher to the WiFi settings, install activity launcher (de.szalkowski.activitylauncher) and scroll down to the settings app, and then long tap the last activity called Wi-Fi (com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings) and tap Create shortcut.
[Nexus 7 General] pknall:
So simple! And here I was messing with build.prop and screwing stuff up. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 General] karlmx:
just for information, i made a quick post on my blog here :

Many thx for the build !
[Nexus 7 General] 0124nathan:
Awesome!

Thank-you so much for all of your hard work! It is awesome to see Android L up and running on the original Nexus! :D

I have found a work around sort of for not being able to access the wifi settings on it. I went to the play store and searched for "Wifi settings" and I downloaded the first one that has the icon of the original Android 4.0 settings icon (I would post the link, but I can't post links yet since it still considers me a new member)

So I gave it a try and it actually brought me to the Wifi settings! So I just thought I would share since this it worked for me :)

Sorry if this is useless info at all and people have already found out how to get around this :o
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
Accessing wifi is easy. In the pulldown notification menu, tap on the name of the ap you are connected to right below the wifi quick toggle, or the word wi-fi if you are not connected to one. Wifi menu will open.
[Nexus 7 General] 0124nathan:
Oh wow! Thanks so much for the information! I had just tried this out on my Nexus today and I wasn't sure if there was another way to get to the Wi-Fi settings ot not. I was planning on taking it on vacation with me so I could test out some things with it and now I can use the WiFi at the hotel. Thanks so much for the info! It really helped :)
[Nexus 7 General] Carlyle_f:
Anyone else having a problem using chrome? That is my only problem I have. That and SuperSU won't install. Otherwise everything is fine
[Nexus 7 General] frederic98:
You have (probably) still your primary rom installed (KitKat or something). I was able to copy the apk from my old rom from /data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk to my sdcard partition, boot android L and install like a regular sideload

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Been using this port/ROM for a while now, but the gmail app crashes if I open an email. Also, will there come support for magnetic cases in the next update (if it comes) so the tablet switches off when you close the case? Turning on does work...

I'm on 4.4.2 and having the same problem. GApps from the OP install fine but setup crashes on the step after connecting to wifi. Did you get it working after downloading and reflashing GApps again?

Wow. Incredible. Thank you op. Does everyone else have the red boarder around the screen that briefly appears when launching apps?

[Nexus 7 General] ironmaskusa:
Personally, I just installed aptoide and then installed chrome like that.. A lot of my apps seem OK.. But some are kinda quirky.. They work sometimes then force close occasionally, like gmail. But there is always a work around. Overall, I haven't set my expectations high on this experimental build. It is what is!

Can't wait to see more devs getting involved with this build to get it going.. But all this takes time and patience from these guys.. Most of them have their hands in other devices, school, family, life in general. We know this is a dying tab and we just need to except that and not set our expectations too high. I still love my grouper and plan on keeping it for years to come. I will be upgrading to the next Nexus tablet when it gets released. I usually skip generation just because I can't afford the upgrade every time one gets released.

That being said, great work so far for what we have on Android L builds. My hat goes off to you that have taken the time so far to give us something. Look forward to more. ?

This is an awesome piece of work! But i'm not so experienced with nexus 7 yet. I'll just have to wait for a more stable version of this which doesn't require multiROM..:D haven't tried flashing ROMs yet on my grouper but all data have backups now if ever i try to b more of a daredevil like i did with my HTC Sensation XE.:D

Version 5: the "oh no, we have to catch up to the Nexus 4" edition ;)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9YZBHL7jnUDeVA5TmNyMGVGaEU/edit?usp=sharing

- Added etc/permissions from stock ROM; Play Store and the Wi-Fi settings now work - thanks to everyone who suggested this

- Switched the build type to userdebug from eng in the build.prop: no more flashing red borders - again, thanks to everyone

- Added Bluetooth libraries and APKs from Cyanogenmod

The Bluetooth is interesting: the Nexus 4 port can use the bluetooth stuff from the Nexus 5 because their processors both support hardware divide, unlike the Nexus 7. Therefore, I can't use the bluetooth apk from the preview images. I chose to use Cyanogenmod's bluetooth stuff because their APK is deodexed, and has a few more features. Unfortunately, audio support in Cyanogenmod's bluetooth framework didn't work on L: first, the Java code force-closes Bluetooth because of a missing method, but thankfully that doesn't get triggered often, unlike the native C++ code. The native code refused to load because libmedia was changed between 4.4.4 and 5.0, so I made a fake libmedia, and the native code managed to load.
[Nexus 7 General] frederic98:
Why would that cause emojis not loading? Almost every windows pc doesn't hava a native keyboard...

//English off

Du hast wahrscheinlich die Gapps als neuen Rom hinzugefügt. Du must sie über Recovery -> "Advanced" -> "MultiRom" -> "List ROMs" -> "repackedX" -> "flash zip" flashen, dann gehts. In "List ROMs" kannst du auch die als ROM installierten GappsXXX wieder entfernen, da sie ja nicht boot-bar sind. Hoffe du bekommst es hin ;)

Wenn du nicht so gut Englisch kannst empfehle ich dir android-hilfe.de: dort gibt es auch recht viele Anleitungen, aber halt auf deutsch.
