Waiting for the factory images to drop, then fingers crossed someone can create a flashable zip to update. Although since its such a big update I'm tempted to flash the full factory images and start from scratch. Looking forward to see if this breathes more new life into our N7, and also if Art runtime is included. I'm guessing it would be as its such a new feature/focal point of 5.0. :D
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
I heard something about the boot loader being different. Not sure if a flashable one is an option.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Yea, its possible, will just have to play it by ear. They have included encryption enabled by default as well havent they, so not sure if that has a bearing also.
[Nexus 7 General] mkrmec:
I want a factory image... clean install is always the best.
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
My thoughts exactly [emoji6]
[Nexus 7 General] Gio2k:
Hopefully Lollypop will make my old nexus 7 run smoother again. 4.4.4 screwed with the tablets performance. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 General] fionny:
Flashed back from CM11 myself today to pick up the OTA... or flash the image when its available :)

Please don't tell me you didn't catch the OTA file from /cache before updating. Did you?
[Nexus 7 General] Boss.bhavesh2:
Is that nexus 7 2012 wifi variant? Not trolling right? :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
If hes rooted he could check and provide the link for the OTA file.

Instructions at the link below.

OMFG, my friend has just trolled me, sorry guys ; c
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
As****e...[emoji13]
[Nexus 7 General] rockknee:
OTA file could be caught from that if the user who received the update runs rooted device and is able to capture the file from /cache.. I believe he didn't :/
[Nexus 7 General] salutcemoi:
Stupid question

My N7 (4.4.4) is rooted , stock firmware and stock recovery

If I check "Survival Mode" in Super SU, can I get the OTA update?

Or should I unroot?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] koko98:
As soon as binaries are released I will continue with my ROM, for the moment just AOSP with Linaro :D
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
Its not really a stupid question, no one can be sure. It apparently is bundled with a new bootloader so I don't know how a FULL update to everything would affect a rooted 4.4.4 n7 remember this is just from stuff on the internet and isn't guaranteed.
[Nexus 7 General] salutcemoi:
I see

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
No problem, wish I could provide more information. [emoji20]

Not sure if it's real.

But here is a manifest for LRX21M

[Nexus 7 General] armada786:
I don't want the OTA as much as I want the source to be fully pushed to AOSP so I can try to build it. It would give me something useful to do today.
[Nexus 7 General] koko98:
I dont think u'll be able to do much with 4.4 binaries
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
Any of you who know how to build able to check if this is real or not?
[Nexus 7 General] koko98:
Source code is up, why shouldn't it be real?

[Nexus 7 General] Metalschnulli:
The Nexus 9 will be shipped with Android 5, em im right?

So i dont thing that Android 5 dont come for our beloved N7 2012 today. What are you think?
[Nexus 7 General] Ironic:
I don't thinks it's gonna be released. BTW we are living in different timezones :D
[Nexus 7 General] Metalschnulli:
That dont matters which timezone each user is, Googles HQ is GMT-8 i think, but i dont think that the F.I. will be uploaded within the next 9,5 hours for our N7. I hope Googles Servers will not crash, then the storms begin. ^^
[Nexus 7 General] stiggy2012:

Whoops, wrong forum! THis is a manta build, do not flash on anything else!
[Nexus 7 General] insanity213:
I have source synced but what binaries should I use? Theres some preview binaries at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/blobs-preview but not for the 2012 N7.

[Nexus 7 General] bodi524:

"The port is based on the system image of the 32-bit ARM Android L emulator, with proprietary binaries pulled from the stock 4.4.2 image."

But You can clearly see

"What doesn't work:

- Playing some sounds, such as the Ding noise played by Google Search after recognizing OK Google

- Bluetooth

- NFC" They are not working correctly.

It's been delayed for a few devices not many though just the nexus 5 I heard

Just Google it.

Edit: Here: http://www.ibtimes.com/android-l-release-delayed-nexus-5-nexus-4-due-bugs-report-says-1719084

Like I said it doesn't mention the nexus 7 being delayed. Just nexus 4/5.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
I'd initially seen they'd announced that the wifi only devices would get the update first and the rest would follow.
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
Yeah I heard about that also I'm just telling you what I've heard it doesn't mean to say that this is a reliable piece of info.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
No worries, I think we can all agree Google is about as organised as ever with their latest releases. :rolleyes:

No clear date of when 5.0 updates will be available, barely any Nexus 6 stock in the U.S. and it still isnt even listed on the UK device page. Also currently no stock of the 32GB Nexus 5. Ok you could argue they aren't all about shifting devices but at least be ready to sell them and promote the new O.S. on release.
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
Yeah. This is exactly the reason they try not to give us dates. They'd never meet them [emoji34]
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Nobody has given dates, therefore there's no date to meet. Just because blogs claimed L images were coming doesn't mean it was the truth..... :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Even official Google made announcements how 3.11.2014 was the date when 5.0 was/is released and to me, when you talk about releasing software, it means that it will be available to download then... obviously this is not the case here however, 3 days past "release" and nothing to be downloaded or/and installed, certainly no OTA update.
[Nexus 7 General] Leraeniesh:
However, they did release Android 5.0 Lollipop on that day, just not an update for Nexus devices.
[Nexus 7 General] cryptoncore:
This.
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Thats just word play, all in all, this situation is very badly handled by Google, they should have made sure they could release the update the same day as N6/9/Player released, if needed, POSTPONE the release of the HARDWARE till the updates for Nexus devices were ready. The least they could do is to release a official statement about the situation and give a "by the date time" in which to expect update, but their saying nothing and im sure they know there is lots of people waiting and anxious about getting the update.
[Nexus 7 General] koko98:
Just started compiling, expect build in 1h 30 mins
[Nexus 7 General] salutcemoi:
No problem
[Nexus 7 General] deefster:
Why should they self impose accountability in that fashion? This way may not be best for the eager users, but it doesn't set them up for failure. They have a product people want, which puts them in a position of power. Hate the game I guess
[Nexus 7 General] Angristan:
Someone already did this
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Well they made me return a N7 2013 i just ordered and cancel my pre-order for N9, thats like 700 euros worth of stuff they aint selling me for this dicking around with the update, now i just have the +2 years old N7 and Chromecast of theirs with which i have to endure this contempt of consumer of theirs. Its their job to provide working products, software and hardware and keep their customers happy and in my case, they have failed and that comes with a cost.
[Nexus 7 General] brian Marshall:
That's some sour grapes. LOL. I'm sure a multi-billion dollar company will miss that 700 euros.

Seriously though, this update has gone they way they do almost every time. Even if they release it on the day you expect the OTA comes out in stages so it's rare that you'd get it on day one.

In all honesty the N7 is over two years old. I'm just happy it will get the update at all. It would be nice if it went back to 4.1 performance, but not holding my breath.
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
i dont know why everybody is complaining about "performance"? mine is just fine, +2 years daily use, lately daily HARD USE by my kids and i really dont notice any difference between now and when it was all brand new, mainly im wanting the update for the new looks, functions and better (claimed) battery life, maybe some performance boots from optimizations. Given, i have always just used the latest stock firmware on my N7 and there is the issue of "artifacts" since 4.4.4, that im hoping will go away with 5.0, but we shall see, not a major issue for me, on 2 year old tablet that cost less than 269 or something, ive got my moneys worth out of it multiple times already. Anyways even the 12th is just a 1 week away, but i would still rather know exact date for the outing of the update.
[Nexus 7 General] phillip1953:
Maybe you should by an iPad, then all will be good in your world. ;) Stomping your feet and canceling an order (as if) does nothing to help.

Take a chill pill. The update will be released.

BTW, they're sending me "your " N9, so they "lost" nothing. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Know what? LOL, i actually did order a Ipad Mini 2 32gb Wi-Fi. Mostly because it will have the apps i need in a tablet, Youtube, Netflix, Chromecast app and misc. games, also i never really had any Apple product, (other than Mac mini years ago, that i really didnt ever use and sold it to a gay couple... lol...) so i figured its time to try some. Also im really digging the all Aluminium construction of its body. Im still having the said N7 and Chromecast, both i like and also i do have a Huawei MediaPad M1 8.0 and Samsung Galaxy S4, but Huawei and Samsung.. their updates and customer service are both so bad and slow, im not expecting anything from them, every update (if any) is like a another Christmas. :p

Anyways, its almost 22:00 (10pm) here and no update today either, we shall see if tomorrow is the day, but i doubt it.
[Nexus 7 General] JimTDI:
I may be wrong, but I think the update has been pulled until November 12th now...

The only reports of release dates that I've come across have been from so called news reports passing on second hand info. Canceling an order for new hardware because it didn't get an update when Joe blow from a blog site said it was going to be released is rather childish. I can see why you've chosen the iPad. It is after all a nice shiny toy.

Were they wearing a Matching Shirts or tops that said . HI I am gay.... Comments like this REALLY Annoy Me.WOULD YOU SAY i sold it to a Strait Couple or African Couple Or Russian couple..

Anyway On Topic.. It DOES Appear there are some Truths to the Rumors being passed around on Social networking . Truth that the Push of android L has stopped. But for what reason is Unclear. As always Like most i suspect a Big bad Bug..With Google Not Giving a explanation would suggest they Have no time frame for a fix.. But remember they are not Required to tell when or push something by a exact date. Software is unpredictable.. Just want them to get it right and not be like Samsung. SQUASH 1 but to create 3 others that are Worse.
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
I just found it funny/weird really back then, having 2 dudes coming from 120+ km away to buy my Mac, with them telling that the they were on the way to visit the other guys mom anyways who happened to live in my town. One of them was around 25-30 and another 50+ it was just creepy and hilarious at the same time and with the stereotype of Mac users being gay/hipster it just stuck to my mind. So take a chill pill.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:

[Nexus 7 General] brian Marshall:
In most apps mine is fine. browsing the web is pretty bad and laggy though. At first it was just chrome. Now it's every browser.

Sometimes switching between apps or opening a new app takes a long while, but often works fine once you get there.

I can play 3d games with barely a stutter, but zooming or scrolling in a web browser is just really bad.
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Google is really handling this update situation "like a boss", official Android blog (Googles) is just posting **** about some retarded ass sports apps and LG watch, LG watch which has had 15 comments about it, all REMOVED, no doubt their all been of people demanding the update/explanation for lack of. And of course, no nothing about the update, when its coming, whats the hold up and so on. :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] phillip1953:
It will be released when it's ready. Why worry/complain over such a little thing?

In another week or so you guys will be "crying" about when the next release not meeting the rumored date. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Theres nothing "rumored" about the 3th. They said it was the RELEASE DATE, sure, they didnt specify that this is for the UPDATE, but that sure the **** is the reasonable expectation when service providers go around announcing "RELEASES". What is unreasonable and unacceptable is the way Google is dealing with situation that they created, basically just keeping their official mouths shut and playing like there "is no issue", EVEN CENSORING PEOPLE THAT ASK ABOUT IT.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
This is Open Source FREEEEE Did i mention FREE . OHH ITS Free Software. They owe us nothing They are not responsible to keep a schedule .. Ohh and then there is the whole thing about Software development. Anytime you publish a so called release day . Something always go wrong . But again remember ITS FREE...

Free does not obligate them to a time frame.. Good Luck
[Nexus 7 General] Uninen:
Free or not and thats debatable, their still making millions or billions with it yearly, directly and indirectly. Also, mind you i paid 269 EUROS for my N7 16gb, thats as of today 335 USD, hardly free and with prices like that the come certain expectations, even if 2 years old. Anyways, the fanboyism here is STRONK. :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] Vlad Paul:
Calm down guys. Next week we'll have Lollipop. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Leraeniesh:

[Nexus 7 General] PhoenixIce22:
Update delay?!

I think while many are impatiently waiting for the update, I think we're forgetting to be thankful that Google is even releasing this update to the 2012 N7 in the first place. I had always figured KitKat was going to be the last official release.
[Nexus 7 General] phillip1953:
It's doing nothing to help the situation by writing a "fit post" every day in this thread. Either flash the version compiled by the XDA guys, or wait for the official release. We're all excited for 5.0. It's coming.
