With this replacement part should be enough?

I have wifi version

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MacLeod100:
Yes ! I did the same on my tilapia replacing the lcd and digitizer Be carefull when you recive it , not to be broken and to have the close braket s ( the small black part thai is holding the flat cable from screen and digitizer lock t in place ) om mine was broke becouse of shipping and i use the old one from the broken screen

I hope you understand my poor English and a drunk old man :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davidjormi:
I have installed this ROM again but now, in the first step it said:

Setup Wizard keeps stopping

Close App

I can't select language and continue with initial configuration

What can I do?

Thanks¡
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mikeataol:
with many roms you have to enable wifi to continue with setup

may take many tries but swipe the notification area and get to wifi setup and connect.

Do I need to repartition if I want to keep GApps? If so, how risky is that?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
No, you only have to reflash GApps on top if you do an update of the ROM.

The repositories are updated with the November patches, builds for

Grouper-version from 20191118

Tilapia-version from 20191118

are available, but *untested*. Please give feedback if you find issues. If no issues are being found by the community I'll update the links in the OP shortly to the new version.

For once, I dirty flashed the new November ROM on my N7:

flashed ROM, flashed Magisk, cleaned cache, reboot --> works fine.

I expected issues, and the need for clean flash, but ... it just works fine ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Antharro:
I just got a 2012 Nexus 7 for free. Not happy with 5.1, I found this ROM. Unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, booted into recovery, wiped all partitions (except recovery!), flashed rom, restarted, flashed gapps, set up, rebooted and flashed Magisk. (With appropriate amounts of wiping cache etc!) All completely straightforward, and I now have a much more up to date tablet! Thank you! :)

Just need to find a use for it next...!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kozmo2k4:
Thank you, again. And again, and again!!!

Happy November....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Indeed. I don't think I could ever tire in my thanks to [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION]r for keeping this ROM alive and up-to-date. Other devices fall by the way side but my Nexus is still in active daily use because of AndDiSar's efforts. :)

Looks to me as you forgot to re-flash GApps after updating the ROM.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] BLewis4050:
Uh no, sorry, that's just the list -- I flashed it all in the usual manner as recommended: install TWRP to recovery (for latest version), reboot recovery, wipe, flash AOSP, reboot recovery, flash G-Apps & Magisk, wipe, reboot system.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] metterschling:
You might want to downgrade TWRP to 3.2.3, then repeat the procedure. I used to have issues with 3.3.1 as well, going back to 3.2.3 fixed them.

I also had frequent FCes for one Google app (don't recall which one) after upgrading to the latest ROM according to the OP procedure (I did flash latest gapps) but one more reboot fixed that.

It is my understanding that the procedure to wipe System and reflash latest gapps is not 100% waterproof as Google OTA updates might have just deployed a more recent app version than what got packaged with gapps. In such a case, clean flashing gapps will be a downgrade and might cause inconsistencies with the data partition app data. Anyway, with this ROM there seems to be no alternative to following the OP procedure.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rastlin01:
Can anyone help with a detail step-by-step procedure to flash the new rom? Totally alien in this area.

Hi, I bought a camera from china for my Nexus 7 2012 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32988318206.html

It's strange because once I connect it, it recognizes a small partition with the software and aplication succesfully installed, but the camera itself does not recognize and does not work. Of course i tried the camera working fully functional on my phone Samsung Note 8

Can anyone tell me if there is a way this camera works on this device

Hello ¡

Thanks a lot for this update¡

I have one problem...

I can't install NETFLIX

I have installed recently 7.1.2 Grouper 25/10/19

I have installed correctly GApps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Netflix is checking SafetyNet and has probably other own checking mechanisms.

Do you have Magisk installed? If not, try to install Magisk and re-check whether you can run Netflix.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davidjormi:
Thank for your reply!

I am new with kind of things... Sorry!

I have installed Magisk Manager ( I have download the .apk) but Netflix is not able to install

Should I do anything more?

Thanks

Make sure you tick to hide Netflix in Magisk Hide.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HerrT:
Make sure to install Magisk itself with Magisk Manager (if you are rooted) or via TWRP...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davidjormi:

It is working
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chimp_xda:
Just register to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

You have give me a nice thanks giving gift by allowing me to bring new life to my N7 2012 tilapia(which was dog slow running 5.1 and refused to boot a month or two ago) :)

The flashing was pretty straightforward

I flash with the initial stock 4.2.2 images going the 'fastboot flash' route, so everything is wiped and restore to factory(one thing I also notice is if I flash the data image, I ended up with 6GB internal storage but without it the data partition is automatically created on start up with the full 32GB)

Then replace the recovery with TWRP and boot up to do the standard setup(of 4.2.2) as I thought I need to have it boot up to transfer files(and later notice TWRP can do that too)

After transferring the ROM and gapps(pico) image, flash it via TWRP per first post instruction then reboot

Things seemed to be normal until I noticed that after boot up, it functions strangely(can access setting but refuse to install apps via google play store). So I decide to do a factory reset within their via setting.

After that and reboot everything went smoothly as it was when I first bought it(with 4.2.2) but just now I get an Android 7.1 :)

Performance wise, it is almost indistinguishable from 4.2.2(7.1 probably slightly less responsive than 4 but not big difference unlike 5 which is a POS).

The only problem I seem to have is that it would auto shutdown during the night when I am not using it(happened nightly since I re-flash it), not a big deal but would love to know if this is a known issue and if there is fix.

All in all very happy and thanks again.

slightly OT, is there an SMS app that I can install(not those adware in the store, if possible) ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Swanee123:
I am running the latest tilapia build. No issues with auto shutdowns. Working very well so far
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chimp_xda:
thanks, I would try to re-do the flash later then as I am using the 201906 version(probably picked the wrong ROM thinking it was the latest).

I only really use it in the couch so reboot/shutdown is not a major concern to me as the boot up is pretty fast too. Oh and it seems very power efficient too as the power gauge shows that once I am not using it, it almost draws no power, i.e. flat line(then a period of missing which seems to be during the shutdown time until I restart it).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chimp_xda:
does this version need periodic TRIM or not ? I tried to google a bit but don't quite get a definitive answer. Haven't been following android for quite a while. TIA
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Flounderist:
Change cache and data file system to f2fs to get a little spin and to forget trimming forever.

Beware you will lost all of your data.

I'm using Signal as SMS app (not on the Nexus 7, but on my phone)...

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

though I am a bit conservative when it comes to fs, ext2->ext3->ext4 are the only fs I trust on my linux box and anything outside that I have to spend quite sometime to weight the pros/cons :)

I have quite some space left(used 6GB out of 32GB) so can live with no TRIM.

thanks anyway.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Generally every two/three days there should be a trim initiated automatically.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Flounderist:
If you are rooted, you can still use FSTrim. It is available in Playstore.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chimp_xda:
I think I have it rooted via Magisk and installed fstrim(which is what I used before). Though when I tried to run it, the Magisk dialog comes up asking about root permission which I allowed yet there is some console message saying it cannot run. I forgot the message(I think it is about the executable format or something) and have removed fstrim.

I think Andisa meant the 'fstrim' functionality has already been part of the OS and would be periodically run automatically so I think it is covered.

thanks again for taking the time to help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mikeataol:
hmm, interesting.

I loaded "Trimmer (fstrim)" after seeing this and didnt get any messages, appears to run normally.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] chimp_xda:
thanks for testing it out, I would try again later and check the exact message I got.

edit:

well the reason is that the one I used before was made in 2013(and probably with its own program which is not compatible with newer Android, error is only position independent executable(PIE) can be run. Probably related to the loader. The one shared by mikeataol works. There are so many fstrim in the store ! thanks all for the help and info.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] someguykenadams:
Decided to throw the towel and call it quits. The old Nexus 7 2012 gave out and will not boot up any longer. 3 years having that tablet and it was a good tablet. Fortunately, my dad's Nexus 7 2012 that has 16GB storage works without issues still and I have plenty of batteries for the tablet in case the battery dies, I can swap them around and it'll work for a good period of time.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chimp_xda:
isn't the N7 battery not swappable ?

I bought it in 2012/2013(before the gen 2 was out) and so far the battery is still in very good condition and thanks to Andisa(and others who help me fill the missing app gap like SMS), I probably can use this thing for another 5 years. The battery draw down is excellent, I only need to charge it once every other night for my usage pattern :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] someguykenadams:
The battery can be replaced easily since I've done that multiple times to jump start the dead battery (flat means it's not going to charge). My 2012 would not power on, even with a good working charged battery. Boards must've had a short or the ribbon cable for the display broke internally.

How to replace/install TWRP over CWM?

is it safe to "fastboot flash recovery twrp-***-***.img" over cwm?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Flounderist:
Absolutely. Once flashed twrp, just reboot to recovery and swipe to allow twrp as recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sam Nakamura:
An easy way to get basic test results is to hook the faulty N7 up to a PC, this would show if it's functional and suffers only from a broken screen, this would allow you to know if it makes sense to keep the faulty device at least for spare parts...

By the way, I always had luck to jump start my empty N7 battery that wouldn't want to start charging by connecting it to my Laptop, the lower charging current of the PC seems to make it easier for the N7's battery to accept charging once again!

Even though my N7 WiFi edition consists of 3 different devices (board, screen, frame) the battery is still original and keeps working remarkably fine after all those years, except this pretty annoying bug where it doesn't easily charge when battery hits 0%, this however seems to be a design flaw which can't be solved by replacing the battery itself!

Is there enough space in the ROM to install 135 MB of current pico OpenGapps package?

Are you sure that Navitel app is fully compatible with Android 7.1.2 (not this ROM - Android version)?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Vladimir225:
The manufacturer assures that it works on all versions of Android above 4.0, and I have not heard that it does not run in a horizontal position of the screen on other devices. And with the Nexus 7 on 7.1.2, I'm not the only one with this problem. You can find this app for navigation on Google play. I can't post links yet.

@ Vladimir225

It's important to check if someone has the same problem on Android 7.1.2 on device different than Nexus or in Android 8.x/9.x.

I'm using TomTom GO in vertical position without errors.

You can trim those packages back down yourself in under a minute. I used 7-Zip and with the Lzip7z plugin.

The newer ones have an updated version of gmscore but they also have extra prebuilt versions for 240, 320, and 480 dpi along with the nodpi version.

Strip out all but the nodpi folder from Core\gmscore-arm.tar.lz and the same references in \app_densities.txt and \app_sizes.txt.

The newest 20191218 package ended up about 667kb smaller than this 20191213 version.

Second on i have it in my kitchen on a "Home made docking" connected to a small speaker - ROM + Kodi + Modified Spotify version + modified Youtbe Version

What a difference : This Rom just fly without Google stack !!!

Although some Apps needs google play service, you can find modified versions of them that will work without Google play Service.
