[Nexus 7 (2013) General] idCyber:
TL;DR version : It's about marketing. And it's the next logical step they have to take so they continue making money as selling devices it's a business before anything else.

Long and explained version : Think about this: You release a device that makes 1 cup of coffee and then release one that makes 2 cups of coffee at the same time and then one that makes 3 cups of coffee and u release a new software that increases or fixes the time making coffee. For some people 1 cup of coffee would be enough. Now the 1st device costs 100$, the 2nd 200$ and the 3rd 300$ then would you make the effort of adapting the new software for the device that makes 1 cup of coffee and sales dropped a lot, knowing that you would make more money if people would buy the 2nd and 3rd one and make money because those devices now make more and faster coffee than before and is more attractive for customers?

I would stop bringing the new software to the 1st device because it barely sells and I get low or no profit from, because majority of people switched their attention to the new devices that are better and that brings me more money. When I would release the next device with 4 cups of coffee, the older devices will stop selling even if I reduce the prices, and I will focus my attention and customer's attention towards the new device. Google as other businesses make the new devices and Android version for money, they are not non-profit organizations.

Also making just the 1st device would bring me money for some time but then everyone would of gotten it and I would stop making money. I have to come with something new and exciting so I would continue making money.

Now the freelancer developers step in, the people that make ROMs and adapt new version of Android and improve it for devices, those are the people that do this work for no money, out of pure fun/good feeling of accomplishment. For example latest official Android version that my phone (i9000) that came out in 2010, has from Samsung is 2.3.6 but the users turned into developers adapted even 5.1.1 even if it is kinda slow.

To be honest i didn't expected Marshmallow for N7 2013.. pleasant surprise. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aelaan:
For those that are looking for sources: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...nexus-5-6-7-2013-9-and-player-on-october-5th/

Thought I post this for summation and completion. I am certain that the XDA groups will have developers that will port this over the the N7 2012. The only question is, do you want to see a slower system because M will need more horsepower for all the services it will run. Sure it will be better on battery (hyped to be at least) but remember one thing: Everything comes at a cost. Be it space, be it slower performance because it needs to swap in and out etc. Some say: let's take a lot out of the kernel, make it a pico version of the original one and that most likely will work, but you might lose sensors or other "non trivial" functions.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jshamlet:
Unlike Linux on a desktop/laptop PC, where the hardware interfaces are highly standardized, and what isn't standardized is usually serviced with an open-source driver, Android runs on ARM machines where every single SoC is a "special snowflake" and many SoC providers distribute binary blobs instead of source code for several critical subsystems (like the radio). To make matters worse, the saving grace of Linux, dynamically loadable libraries, aren't supported on Android because of their overhead. Drivers in Android are "bare metal", or close to it, and in a hold over to the "bad old days" of Linux, are compiled directly into the kernel.

Then, if that wasn't enough, the boards themselves are unique to each model. When you port Android to a different platform, you have to pay specific attention to the BSP (board support package) as it will be unique to that specific piece of hardware. This is why a ROM written for one phone won't work on another phone with the exact same SoC until it is recompiled using the second phone's BSP. It could be something as simple as a different sensor attached to a SPI bus, or the power monitoring chip being a little different, etc. With a monolithic kernel, and no support for dynamically loaded libraries, the only option is to completely rebuild the entire package - which, of course, you can only do if you have source.

Thus, once a device is abandoned by its manufacturer, it is on temporary life support until it is too different from the latest models to work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
Well it's official now and the nexus 4 is officially not getting it and I'm not surprised. My prediction was right, all 2013 devices would get it (all 2 of them lol) and no 2012 devices. Yeah I know the hardware is similar to flo, but the nexus 4 is just too old. It's not about whether it can run it or not, it's about limited resources and not spreading yourself to thin, as well as the business side as in if they update the nexus 4 than why bother upgrading? You basically just got a brand new phone via software update so why would you pay Google money to buy a 5x or 6p? Just is what it is, business is brutal as they say. Still going from android 4.2 all the way to 5.1.1 is a good long life so no hard feelings there
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] idCyber:
I wish Google would of said the exact date, the Nexus 7 2013 (flo and deb as I know deb will get it a bit later, sadly) factory image will be available and not just "starting next week or starting October 5th". I am just excited and I am dying to see if they fixed the problems that Nexus 7 2013 had with Lollipop. Can't wait to flash the Android 6.0 factory image on my Flo (just to make sure OTA does not completely brick my tablet as a lot of unfortunate users experienced coming from KK to LP and factory image can't brick the device afaik, as it never did in my case, the many times I have flashed KK or LP factory images back and forth)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cor-master:
They always do that, always pretty vague. Actually by saying next week is about the clearest eta they've given, and the fastest they started rolling out since 4.3
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FurryMurry:
Well, it's here :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jtdc:
yep, sorry to anything below Nexus 7 2013. i suppose Marshmallow is also the last major revision we get for Nexus 7 2013, so enjoy while it lasts.

in any case, there's still no 7 inch tablet that beats us. N7 2013 is still the king of 7 inch tablets.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] madbat99:
Plus custom roms will keep us well past marshmallow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jtdc:
well i am wanting to upgrade, the Snapdragon 600 on us is aging already (i can feel difference in speed compared to Nexus 5).

however the only logical choices are:

1. Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (its not 7 inch, it has that annoying charging flap)

2. Dell Venue 8 7840 (its not 7 inch, proven slow update if ever it comes out)

3. Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (its not 7 inch, gimmicky and bloaty suckwiz)

4. Nexus 9 (the successor, but not size friendly anymore)

anything else?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nhizzat:
Aging? Seems to be that it has only gotten better with each new OS update. The difference in UX between the N6 and N7, in my opinion, is mostly imperceptible.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jtdc:
what we are at risk of, is not getting Android Nutella.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Asphyx:
While I have no information to prove this theory....

Until Google comes out with a newer 7" tablet (Nexus 7 2016 anyone?) I would suspect that the Nexus 7 2013 will remain in the update loop until such time that the hardware is physically incapable of supporting any newer versions...

And if and when that happened I would suspect we would see a new 7" model announced to support that form factor from then on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bsober:
Been running M on 2013 LTE version. Not too impressed so far really. It's ported for 2012 version also.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] idCyber:
And bad gaming performance on 5.x.x and 6.0 :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jtdc:
yeah there are times... actually i found the next logical upgrade for us is the Nvidia Shield K1, but not sure if that will get Nougat.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tool Belt:
Never Mind
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Nomad1600:
Worse, there are question whether Nvideo will offer a new tablet in the future (the thinking that tablets are a declining market). Seems a shame, because the Shield would be a good replacement to the N7 2013.

The next interesting tablet is the Google Pixel C... but gee, at that cost I'd invest in a better laptop.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Deeco7:
Way to bump a 1 year old thread!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sav2880:
Well it is kind of valid again considering that Nougat is now out, and there's now confirmed no official Nexus 7 (2013) support.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jshamlet:
Nope, it's official. The 2013 Nexus 7 won't be getting that nougaty goodness. :(

Well, not from Google/Asus anyway. I'm sure it will get it in the form of a third-party ROM.

Anybody tried different kernel settings and found better performance or battery life? Let's discuss why you wanted root so badly.

Don't forget to press thanks if I helped you with anything!
[Sprint LG G4] tourbound129:
Looks like the current carrier updates can still be applied and this root method works. I haven't taken ZV5 yet but wouldn't mind seeing if it helps the touch screen of we can still get root. Of course, we will need root for Sprint first.
[Sprint LG G4] iiEatTurdz:
yeah zv5 makes battery life a hell of a lot better and touchscreen is better
[Sprint LG G4] tourbound129:
One thing I can't complain about is battery life. Mine is so good I'm almost afraid to update anything that might effect it lol.

The notification for ZV5 has been sitting in my notification bar for weeks.
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
ZV5 does improve a lot. We will have to have 2 system dumps tho? Zv5 and zv4. 2 different root versions?
[Sprint LG G4] iiEatTurdz:
yeah as long as people send both. I'm going to try to send zv5 when i get off of work today

I'm running the cyanogen nightlies and have been trying to get any barometer app to access the victara barometer.

Is there support for these sensors in cyanogen and, if so, what app will work?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexfiorani:
This is a really tricky question. Some websites claim that the 2014 X has a barometer, while others claim it doesn't. I myself have already tried a bunch on apps (on Stock and custom roms) and they all told me my device didn't have a barometer. My friends X's also don't have a barometer according to Pressure.net app, so I guess that:

1) it doesn't have a barometer at all; or

2) it has a barometer but 3rd party apps cannot use it.

Have you ever used the barometer on a stock rom???
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loftwyr:
I've never used it or even tried before until I saw that pressure.net supported moto x. Since pressure.net (or any other of the 4 I've tried) doesn't get a reading, I'm assuming that the stock rom may be necessary.

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] jimmay12345:
hey everyone figured id write up a quick little guide on rooting your s5 mini model SM-g800f on android 4.4.2

lets crack on and I hope it helps you out

this is my first guide so feedback is greatly appreciated :)

Things you are going to need

before you begin you will need a few things

1. Your device ( for this guide I am focusing on the sm-g800f in particular)

2. a USB cable and access to a pc

3. files from this site https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ (credit to : chainfire)

4. Samsung USB drivers (i recommend Kies for this)

Device Prep

ok so you have all that you need lets crack on

firstly you will need to download the files from the link above and extract the folder to your desktop

now on your device you need to put it into download mode after plugging it in

to do this simply plug your device into the USB port on your PC and turn it off

then hold volume down , home and power.

if done right you will see a warning screen just press volume up to confirm you know what you are doing

The Root

once your device is connected and in download mode (see above) you are ready to roll

simply right click odin and run as administrator you should see the box in the top right of Odin is blue and say Com 0 connected or similar.

check the box next to pda and click the PDA button.

from here select the auto root file and click start

that's all there is to it

let it work its magic and when your device reboots it should say updating android if you haven't rooted before just relax this is normal and it is simply installing superuser to your device

Post rooting tips&apps

so you are rooted eh?

well done the hard part is over from here i personally always do the following

tap on superSU and you will be prompted to disable Knox security ( Knox limits what you can do once rooted disabling it makes your life easier)

i also usually install x posed and busy box as well as lucky patcher

if this is too much to read I've made a quick video guide too this is me doing the entire rooting process from start to end and worth a look of anything stumps you :)
