Great work guys! I was looking for this for a really long time and i am writing this on my n7 with linux :D but i have a few questions:

1. is it possible to overclock(and how) because my n7 runs on 1.89ghz and 477mhz gpu in android with elementalx kernel and it would be nice to have some more power :p

2. can the screen be rotated so the hardware buttons are on top (i saw a post saying it chrashes but i cant even find the setting xD) because it would be alot easier to use the OTG cable

And thank you guys for making this happen, i love linux on the note 10.1 and im so glad to have this run it too(would be maaad if it can be overclocked :D )
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] muhviehstarr:
Thank you for this wonderful package!

I recently updated all packages :)) and iam trying to fix the issue without reinstall (challenge accepted)

It seems that the xorg-server 1.17 is the problem. I compiled. Freedreno and the freedreno mesa 10.3 and libdrn packages without success. The xserver is segfaulting when it loads libexa.so.

Now i try to downgrade to 1.16 . ive read that the xf86-video-freedreno-git package is not working with flo. Is that correct? Did youbuild this packages with modificationa?

I believe this is why i love arch. Its like lego for nerds or something :)

Hello, is there some instruction howto run (native) arch on nexus 4? I see only for n7, n10...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bfg:
Having my favourite distro on my pocket is very exciting so thank you very much...

I have to carry only a development lamp server so using a pacman tip I revert to a base, base-devel system removing everything about xorg and DE.

Now I connect using ssh but I've noticed that the tablet screen is simply blank: no tty, no text console.

There is a way to have a text only console at boot to make a login (may be using an usb keyboard) when device is not connected?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] HempLlama:
Hello, I have some trouble when I boot.

config: rastapop 5.1.1 (AOSP based) + last multirom v32A + Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (Stock 5.1.1)

Installing archlinux correctly from the terminal emulator. Load it --> black screen (about 6seconds) --> Google Logo forever :(

Someone know what I can do for make it work ?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mgdaubo:
Hello.

This is what I am looking for long time, I really want to make my DEB to become a lightweight laptop so that I can bring it anywhere anytime for my hobby embedded development. Great.

However I am still stuck at 2 points on the way to make it a laptop:

1. Screen rotating: like somebody said, it crashes.

2. Hibernate or sleep function: I could not find this function, every time after my work I have to turn off the device or reboot to android to have power saving mode.

Any update on this topic till now?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FoxysWorkplace:
Thank You - Just what the doctor ordered...

You are amazing! I can't wait until my kernel is done compiling so I can try this out on deb instead of flo! What was the offset of the ramdisk in the boot.img again??? :p

p.s. What modules are needed for the kernel to support the OpenGL ES / Mesa?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fp1707:
How'd I connect bluetooth keyboard?

I am a complete noob please help? Also the screen wouldn't rotate when done from the monitors section.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ml11ML:
Dev probably left for good quite a while ago and i cant tell you cause i still havent got my screen (damn ebay shipping times -.-) but there should be some menu related to bluetooth from what i remember and the screen rotation is most likely broken and will be until someone goes to the trouble of fixing it. (screen rotation seems to be a common broken thing on every origianlly android tablet that had linux ported to it as it is also broken on the n8000)

Wow..it just had to be a really huge project didn't it..

Not only have i no idea where to begin compiling xf86-video-fbturbo, but I don't even have a way to use mouse & keyboard yet because all my OTG adapters are borked.

Do you happen to know if there's any way to install Ubuntu Desktop (NOT touch) on the Nexus 7 2013? I've tried desperately but the option in MultiROM in TWRP for Ubuntu is gone..
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ShadowEO:
Sadly not. The closest you can get is the rc-proposed channel with XMir installed and the instructions for making X11 apps show up in the launcher via another thread I posted in the Ubuntu Touch General forum. Honestly, you should be able to have pacman download the source for fbturbo, but you'll need to remove the X-*-ABI depends in the PKGBUILD before you run makepkg. I'll see about possibly uploading my copy of the package soon if I'm able.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jja2000:
So Linaro made it possible to run mainline kernel on the Nexus 7 2k13. Is there any way to combine this with this arch install? Might give some nice freebies.

Big thanks for such Christmas present!

Only one question here, is it possible somehow to change the resolution?

I cant imagine how you could use this without changing it...because eveything is sooooooo little! Please advise

Cheers ;)

Could anyone report back How usable is this distro, with resolution provided? I cant find a way to change it... :( Even with keyboard&mouse attached, It doesnt seems to be usable for me...
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AxelRoldos:
Hi everyone,

I am thinking about buying a Nexus Player after I played with my roommate's Chromecast. I was really impressed with how well it worked and, using the Seagate Central app, I was able to play and cast files from my media center. The impressive part was that it actually did well casting all my files - except MKVs. It would play the video, but there'd be no sound.

With that having been said, does the Nexus Player do a better job at this?

Guys don't ever get sandisk ultra 64gb. I had 3 of their cards which was purchased at the same time and unfortunately it failed. The issue is rampant on their 64gb ultra (google Sandisk ultra cannot delete files). My micro sd suddenly became a read only device. Files are intact but i cant modify contents which means i cannot do format erase and anything. Practically it became a useless card. Already did windows low level format, tried to check drive permissions and it was not set in read only, no virus. The writting controller chip just broke down. :( for those who are planning to buy a card and have their cameras and their 4K vids automatically save in the sd card, then don't buy sandisk (at least The 64gb ultra). It seems their cards can't take much writing before it breaks
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Ah-Bollox:
Try the hp format tool, solves most issues for me

http://m.download.cnet.com/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool/3000-2094_4-10974082.html
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Actually i tried everything including that one. I even tried Easeus, Linux and all. Not really a noob when it comes to these things. Seems Sandisk is not really a durable card. I used the card for storing stuff (torrent goes directly to it, 4k video, and all). so i guess it's really time that sony steps up the game when it comes to storage and should give a higher option for users. Maybe 16, 32gb and 64gb (128gb would also be nice) options should be available internationally while still keeping the sdcard for backup purposes. I'm sure people won't mind paying the extra costs for these upgrade options.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] warplane95:

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
I have the 64GB Sandisk Exteme Plus. I believe they are MLC vs. the Ultra's TLC you have. MLC lasts longer or better than TLC or so I heard. I'll see if this thing will fail on my phone.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Samsung is a good alternative as almost every phone including the Z3, iPhone etc use Samsung NAND flash for their internal memory. They released their 128GB MicroSD on the 7th and their PRO series is cheaper and performs better than Sandisk's ExtremePlus.

The Samsung EVO series is their lower end equivalent to the Sandisk Ultra, but still better.

As for your issue I have not heard it before now....... SanDisk makes pretty reliable NAND Flash itself.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
So are there pro cards their highest type? How much does their 128gb cost? Didn't know That they released one. Yeah i thought sandisk was reliable but this issue on my ultra is the same and rampant on their ultra but the 32gb type
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
I think tlc is just the upgraded version of mlc and both are still not really reliable compared to NAND
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
I'm planning too buy on ebay. Could you help me by telling the usual price of samsung pro? I want to buy thw 64gb as 128 is not yet available. I am staying away from sandisk after that incident of failing cards
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
They are all NAND. The Phone uses MLC for internal meaning 2 bits per cell with about 2000-3000 writes per cell. TLC is 3 bits per cell which is even worse and slower. More bits per cell means more voltage states for 0/1, leading to lower room for compensation as it wears down leading to failure earlier like 500-1000 writes per cell. Also its slower. Remember when a file is written to the flash and then deleted, even if part of the file is on a partially filled cell, entire cell has to be erased. If there was part of another file on it it has to be moved before it erases. Now imagine that on TLC its much worse.

The PRO series is MLC same as Sandisk Extreme

the EVO is TLC same as SanDisk Ultra

Phone's internal MLC flash is faster because its not only higher grade but faster interconnects as its soldered on.

As for SLC (50,000+ Writes per cell for 20nm) its too expensive and I don't think there are even many SSDs that use it anymore.............. Well basically SLC is in a way "formmatted" for the lack of a better word, as MLC/TLC during production to increase data density at the cost of life of the flash.

Also the smaller the NAND gets the lower the life. The old 50nm NAND MLC has ~10,000 write cycles, 30nm ~5,000 and the current gen which is 20nm is ~3,000.

If you wonder, why make it smaller? Its because the smaller the die the more NAND per wafer, so bigger profits

SLC 100% Space (baseline) (~50,000+ write cycles per cell) (Fastest)

MLC 200% as its 2 bits per cell (~3,000 write cycles per cell) (Good) (Best cost to benefit ratio)

TLC 300% as its 3 bits per cell (~750 write cycles per cell) (Slowest)

.

Article about NAND Flash types and how they work:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5067/understanding-tlc-nand
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
I see. Yeah just read it now tlc is the cheaper and slower one between the 3 types. I think our internal memory uses slc and pro and extreme cards use mlc.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Internal is also MLC, "almost" no one uses SLC now not even most business grade SSDs.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Really? i thought SLC are for those that need high reliability
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Its reliable enough I doubt you would see it die before you switch phones. For example 32 GB Intel SLC SSD costs over $200 while a 512GB MLC SSD costs the same price. At an extreme 20GB scenario of writes per day it will be about a decade of life out of an average 256GB MLC SSD before it fails. So think of the cost to benefit ratio.

My Laptop's Crucial 256GB SSD is rated for 65TB writes so if you extrapolate that to a 32GB in the TMO Z3 you have to write about 8TB of data to wear it out or 10-11GB per day for 2 years which I doubt will ever happen.

FYI an average computer user writes 5-10GB per day, so it will be lower for phones.

Samsung's current gen 3D V NAND MLC/TLC has double the life of regular ssds, I don't think our phone has that though.

If want something interesting, some SSD makers reserve a part of the MLC flash left as SLC for caching.

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] xxquicksh0txx:
I've had a Samsung 64GB evo card for about 6 months, and have had absolutely no issues with it.

Clicky

There are really only a few manufactures who make the nand, Samsung/SanDisk/Toshiba... etc Everyone else uses their flash and re-sells it.

Probably more likely to get better quality nand since the manufacturer gets first dibs.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] tanavots:
Have SanDisk Ultra microSDXC Class 10 64GB card about 2 months from now and don't have any issues (yet) you described. Let's see.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Very true indeed. Also Micron (aka Crucial) and Intel jointly produce NAND and I believe Kingston and Toshiba also jointly produce.

Samsung is the largest producer overall though for RAM and NAND (<- Best SSDs but expensive), after that I think its Micron (Crucial) (<- Their SSDs are the best bang for the buck with great performance.)

As for SanDisk I am pretty sure they set the standards for SD/MicroSD cards (shape/size etc) they are pretty reliable like the rest of the producers.

OP are you sure you did not get a fake SanDisk?

I remember when I was in India I ordered SanDisk cards for 2 of my friends and me on eBay. I got a 2GB card made to seem as a 16GB and my friends got plastic tabs cut out to look like MicroSD with gold paint for contacts.:D

Got a refund though. Sandisk and others always say to be careful on eBay, even on Amazon or Newegg buy directly from them, and not the resellers who sell via Amazon/Newegg. You will know because if its a reseller both Newegg/Amazon mention on the side near the price.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Now that's i am doubtful. I tested it with the software HWtest is the name i guess and it passed. I ran it a couple of times and it passed the 64 gb test. And the price was just right when i purchased it. I had no problems filling that up before with a lot of torrent downloads from my phone. Guess it simply just "decided to give up".
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Where did you buy it?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Mine is from ebay from a trusted seller
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Still, even I got mine from a trusted seller. and my friends from a non trusted seller.... both said they got a fake batch by accident.

Never buy MicroSD/SD cards from eBay. Its almost like an unsaid rule. SanDisk itself asks you to avoid eBay, as it gives them a bad name due to fakers.

I suggest you go buy one from Amazon or Newegg.

(By that I mean directly from them and not the third party retailers who sell through Amazon/Newegg)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Yes how i wish i can but both don't ship going to my country. Only ebay does so i have no choice
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Then buy from a local retailer or trusted online retail sites in your country..... but NOT eBay.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Guess I'll go with genuine but ordinary cards here, high performance cards are skyhigh in prices

For $10 more you can get the revised Sandisk Extreme UHS1-U3 meaning is guaranteed a minimum write speed of 30MB/s unlike all the U1 (10 MB/s minimum) model cards.

[Xperia Z3 Accessories] TordFuglstad:
Working as a photographer, I have had tons of Sandisk memory-cards. My go-to memory card supplier.

I have only had one Micro SD card before, and it is the Sandisk 16GB Ultra, which has been performing like a champ for over a year now.

I have been using it in both my GoPro and my phone. Now I'm thinking of buying a 64 GB Sandisk Ultra memory card. Found one on amazon for next to nothing. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Correct me if I am wrong but GoPro no longer recommends the Ultra. I believe the now say that the Extreme is preferred, due to occasional drops in write speed.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
Would never rely on sandisk again for my data
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] TordFuglstad:
Only the new Hero 4 and the Hero 3+ Black edt doesn't have Ultra on their list, they only have the highest rated memory cards. The rest though do have Ultra on its list. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Thanks for clarifying.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] mangbhoy:
I have the same issue. I had bought the same card and had SanDisk replace the card twice.

I have moved on from the Sandisk cards and have bought and used a 64GB Samsung EVO microsdxc.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] akyhussain:
TIS TRUE

this is definitely a problem. I've also suffered this problem with a 32gb and 16gb sandisk ultra. Stay away!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
Holy smokes, just to prove the OP's voice, my 64GB Sandisk Extreme Plus failed just like his description of his Ultra. I got my warranty, so Sandisk had me send it to their center, then they gave me a brand new one. I'm going to see if this new one will last.

+1 for Sandisk support.

-1 for not being as reliable (product) as they used to be.

EDIT:

For those with failures, how aggressive are your usage? For me, I went on a two week trip outside the states and used it to take a few hundred photos. Lots of recording on tour buses, etc. One 4K video about 15 minutes long. I was using the 64GB Sandisk Extreme Plus.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
We have quite the same usage. I was using video a lot and set my saving path directly to sdcard. Now I have my Samsung PRO 64gb and what I'm doing is i set saving path to internal memory then i just transfer it later on if I want to save the photo and vids. That way I'm saving the sdcard from write usage.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
Bummer for you, but no news to me to be honest, every popular model have Chinese fakes within weeks after release. Same with Iphone, Galaxy S5 etc etc. Lots of them on ebay and other online markets. And yes they are very easy to identify when you turn them on. If you buy one on a parking lot and don't switch it on and test it with a SIM, before handing money you ask for being ripped off. When ordering online and you are not able to test make sure you use a credit card so you some form of insurance. Kind of confused people still fall for these clones. It's common knowledge.

In the UK lots of people are getting caught by people that later report it stolen to collect the insurance, sometimes months later your handset gets blocked.

It's good advice to never buy a phone somewhere like that.
