[Nexus 7 Android Development] fidoedidoe:
FYI. I have built and uploaded tilapia/grouper roms based on [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION]'s source (July security patches). These builds can be found here.

These builds include the wifi fix mentioned a few posts back (only impacts a few people). The fix is for clean installs only, if* you have the issue and are dirty flashing you need to manually edit the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and change pmf=1 to pmf=0 (described in earlier post).

IMPORTANT. Since breaking my tilapia last month (smashed screen & my attempt to repair failed) these latest builds are completely untested (but June builds were tested and worked fine). I'm hoping others will be able to step in when ready as building blind (no testing) isn't desirable.

Do let me know if there are any issues with build and I'll look to source (or worst case pull the July builds from AndroidFileHost).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kctucka:
I dirty flashed the new July build for Grouper. I haven't found any issues, and it runs smoothly. Not bad for no testing!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I clean flashed aosp_grouper-7.1.2-ota-eng-20190722.fidoe.zip via TWRP and got 'No OS' when I try to boot to system. With a dirty flash, it gets stuck in boot loop.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thoiloidainhan:
I got the no os installed message too but it boots up just fine. Give it some time tho like 10mins
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fidoedidoe:
Hmm..well I'm very sorry about that. that's odd., Can anyone supply a logcat (attached)? I'm tempted to pull the builds given I can't test locally
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
'No OS' message is quite normal in TWRP when you do a full wipe but should not harm. To analyze the boot loop a logcat / last_kmsg would help much.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thoiloidainhan:
Yup as I said it booted fine so i don't really care what it said. And I have encountered this before on different devices that why I decided to just ignore the warning lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I didn't know that, first time I've encountered it.

I'd downloaded the zip again, so I wiped the device and reinstalled... this time no 'No OS' message (weird huh?) It's rebooted just fine and I'm in the process of reloading all my apps etc. All looks good and the device is responsive. I'll report any problems but I think all's good. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fidoedidoe:
That's good to hear. Thank you!

You all probably already know this but when I "dirty" flashed within twrp I wiped:. Dalvik/Art; Cache; system. Then installed the ROM, opengapps (nano) and optionally magisk. This approach works well when sticking with the same ROM build and mitigates need to reinstall apps afterwards.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thoiloidainhan:
Titanium backup doesn't detect 19.3 magisk root in July build for me. Some other apps detect root normally. TiBu looks for system/xbin/su I think. Any way to make it detect root?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laugeek57:
Awesome this update thanks devs :)

clean install all works fine magisk and Dolby Atmos ( I don't live whitout good sound)...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bakica:
Which version of the magisk do you use, stable or Canary? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laugeek57:
Stable v19.3 bro :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] autorage:
Dirty flashed fidoedidoe's rom, it works great, good wifi, good bluetooth (my main priorities)

Thank you [MENTION=3865771]fidoedidoe[/MENTION]
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fidoedidoe:
a quick google search suggests a few options (sorry i never used Titanium Backup). First check the magisk manager is installed / and is up to date (I'll assume it is, as you say other apps have root okay). Another suggestion is the version of busybox being used, might be worth installing that (via apps store?) to see if it cures your issue....but before doing that it might be worth checking the success of that approach with others (google search) before proceeding. Would clearing Titanium Backup cache / data be trying too (secure your backups before proceeding)?

Is it safe to assume you didn't have the magisk / titanium backup issue on earlier rom builds (like june '19?)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thoiloidainhan:
Yeah I've tried all that. I was on an ancient August 2018 build and tibu+magisk worked fine. I'll try some older build see if it helps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fidoedidoe:
I looked at another device I have (lineage 14.1), and it doesn't have /system/xbin/su either? I'm at a bit of a loss. Was it a clean flash..and you need tibu, or dirty? If the latter did you wipe dalvik/art, cache and system and them install ROM, gapps and optionally magisk? Do you get the same result?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thoiloidainhan:
It was a clean flash that caused problem. So I restored my old backup and dirty flashed to May build by Disa and tibu works. Now I'll try dirty flashed to July and see if problem persists [MENTION=3865771]fidoedidoe[/MENTION]

Edit: it works with July build too. Dirty flash isn't so bad sometimes
[Nexus 7 Android Development] metterschling:
OpenGapps 7.1 (Pico, Arm) does not install on top of the July build., it is telling me the installed ROM is a 5.1.1 (SDK 22) version and thus incompatible.

Tried dirty flash over the previously installed AnDiSa April build first, but Android Settings were repeatedly force closing, so did the usual system, cache and dalvik wipe, installed the July ROM, rebooted into recovery, then tried to flash OpenGapps.

For now I am back to the previous version thanks to a Nandroid backup.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kctucka:
I was able to flash open GApps Pico 7.1 over a dirty flash of the July Grouper build. Were you also on Grouper?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] metterschling:
Yes, I am on Grouper. Thank you for letting me know that it worked for you. I tried OpenGapps 20190727 as well as the April version I successfully flashed with the previous build. Both flash attempts exited with the SDK version mismatch. Strange, but I will have a look into the OpenGapps debug log to see if I can find out more.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

It turned out that updating TWRP from 3.2.3 to 3.3.1 was causing the issue with flashing the gapps. After reverting to 3.2.3 I was able to flash the July ROM, then OpenGapps 20190727. However, after boot to ROM, Settings still FC. No time to pull a logcat today, will do that later.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xEJx:
Thanks 2019 and it still works

I just one of this tablets today and now is running like when it was new super smooth and no problem to report
[Nexus 7 Android Development] el-Loko:
Really smooth!!! Thx a lot!!!

The only thing which is not working properly is that I can't hide magisk for other apps. Magisk is even hidden but the app won't run because it stll detects root.

Does someone has that problem too?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kctucka:
I'm currently running Xposed on the tablet, so I don't currently pass safetynet. However I use a Magisk module to spoof the Nexus 7 fingerprint on another device to pass CTS Profile, so it should work.

What are the results of the safetynet check in Magisk?

Also, have you repackaged Magisk Manager with a different name?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sir Charles82:
Hello,

I'm currently running aaopt's LineageOS build 20180708 and want to switch to this rom. is it obligatory to do a factory reset for proper functionality? I guess, dirty flashing isn't an option,

thanks for any answer.

Already have the newest recovery TWRP 3.3.1 installed.

Second question: while installing LOS 14,1 there was an option about GApps, modifying with a certain script (gapps-config-grouper.txt). Would this work here also?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frankusb:
You will have to do a factory reset to switch between AOSP and Lineage.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sir Charles82:
Thanks for the answer., just did it and now the N7 works again like a charm. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] RedBrain:
Hi super smooth Rom

I detected one Bug Tilapia Rom:

When turning brightness in swipe down bar down on lowest the screen is going completely black with no backlight you cant See anything then
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kctucka:
Oddly enough, I tried to wipe everything in order to install Micro G instead of GApps.

I ran into the same issue, where Titanium Backup, and also Adaway, wouldn't recognize root. All other root apps did.

There were also a few animation speed features missing from developer options. I didn't investigate further, but perhaps other things may have been missing. Flashing the May build, then July build after fixed all issues.

As a dirty flash/update, the July build is fantastic. But, I'd add that if starting fresh, its probably best to flash [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION] most recent build first, and then dirty flashing July build on top of it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] paasoares:
installed the July version on my Tilapia.

Everything seems to be running smooth.

One strange thing though. I had to update Magisk from Magisk manager to be able to install Netflix. Netflix was not showing in google play as an available app to be installed before the magisk update.

Keep up the good work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] j8a:
I unlocked and rooted my nexus 2012 wifi today with Nexus Rootkit Tool. Then, installed TWRP 3.02 sucessfully with the same Rootkit Tool.

I followed the AndDisa instructions and everything went fine, I could install the programs and I think it is a well done job.

Tanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DJABHipHop:
I install this rom on my firebds Nexus 7 2012 a while back & so far she love it. Pluse I Replaced the stock Launcher with the rootless Pixel Launcher & along with pixel icon pack for more of a pixel slate look, I also ended up replace the boot animation the stock Android Marshmallow boot animation. It'd fun fast hold a lot of music I besicly turn her Nuxes 7 2012 into 1 big gint iPod touch with Pixel Slate skin on top. PS I also add LineageOS Recorder of my own custom rom LightningFsstRom on github an a version Eleven Music Player for Lineage-15.1 built in andriod studio by somr user on github I forget who it was.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] street_dog:
Ok, i'm not sure if it's my device or something with this latest install. Sometimes wifi is gone and no matter what you try, it won't start unless i restart the device. Same thing with charging. The funny thing is that it won't charge, but it mounts in two of my linux boxes. A restart and it charges again.

Will go back a version and see if it goes away or if it in fact is happening something with my beloved N7...had it since dec 2012...

[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
I can't open the Settings. (Grouper)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] metterschling:
Are you on the July build? Clean flash or upgrade? Same happened to me after upgrade (dirty flash or system wipe) from April to July build. I don't think that the devs can do anything about it without a Logcat. "real life" is currently preventing me from reinstalling the July build and pulling a logcat after the settings crash. Maybe you can provide one?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
It's the may build from #1. Is there a newer one?

Logcat is masses of errors running through constantly

! I flashed Magisk and the problem is gone!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DumF0rGaming:
Check the last few pages, new builds are now built by community
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TureX:
Hi, does july version support micro g spoofing?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thoiloidainhan:
Nope but you may be able patch signature spoofing with nanodroid
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TureX:
Done,but i cannot pass safetynet
[Nexus 7 Android Development] someguykenadams:
Dirty flashed the July ROM (Grouper) and had issues with Settings and other apps not opening, even the backup app reported the rooting software was missing. After flashing Magisk and clearing the Cache and Dalvik cache twice, everything's working.

I also get the app has crashed message, but, the backup app is restoring the apps to their former glory.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
The post#1 version drains the battery - it even discharges with screen off -- where is the July version?

... found it https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=295925
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
... probably you should first check what's the reason for the battery drain before flashing other ROMs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
Ok but how?

I flashed July and now it charges again. And WiFi is also working again ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] someguykenadams:
Make sure that your Micro USB charger/data cable isn't loose and working properly. Sometimes, a bad Micro USB charger/data cable can cause the tablet to not charge.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
... e.g. by looking at the apps and processes how much current they used and whether they set wake locks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gmikhail:
Thanks for the ROM! Without GApps it's stable and smooth.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DJStatikVX:
Hello everyone. Thanks for keeping support to this old device. I'm actually using May build from AndDiSa. Could I perform dirty flash for updating to the latest version?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:

the device is also warm, so it's not a weak charger.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] el-Loko:
Both green.

Yes, that's what I ment by hiding magisk.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kctucka:
Oh wow, that's an aggressive root checking app.

Provided you also have Magisk hide enabled for that specific app, I'm not too sure what it could be.

I've heard of some apps detecting things like BusyBox or titanium backup/common root apps, but I've never run into that problem myself.

The only other thing I could think of, would be that you had Xposed or SuperSu previously installed, and all traces weren't fully removed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BLewis4050:
Update the OP to stop the confusion?

Thanks very much for your build with the latest patches. As many have successfully installed this build, can the OP be updated to indicate status and links to this build? We're several pages beyond this announcement and some are starting to get confused (and frustrated) trying to stay current.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
... fixed by reinstalling open-gapps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sam Nakamura:
Just had time to flash your latest build compiled from Andi's sources and it's all fine on my Grouper, I however dirty flashed by simply flashing the new build in TWRP, reboot flash GApps & Magisk, not wiping anything as this is actually handled well by the installer / android... Thank you!

Edit: I mean no FCs, no root detection or Wi-Fi issues, just running fine as it should...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
Is there a way to stop it waking up when (un)plugging the charger?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] FabianoT:
Thanks for the updates! Keep doing! :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kwsam9:
Hi folks,

For Face Unlock functionality, we need to install Nano GApps at the minimum but it is too big for Grouper. Just wondering if anyone managed to install the required packages/libs for this to work. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Repositories updated to reflect 2019-08-05 patch level

I am still maintaining the repositories and I would like to inform those of you who are doing a build by their own that I've just updated the repositories to include the security patches for level 2019-08-05 ...

Btw. I can also provide (untested(!)) builds for Grouper / Tilapia if needed.

Edit:

Version 20190823 for Grouper

Version 20190823 for Tilapia
[Nexus 7 Android Development] goran_s:
Thank You AndDiSa. I'll be happy with Your build for grouper as I haven't updated since Your last build. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laugeek57:
Thanks!!! AndDiSa

Clean install all works fine :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Sadly thats not my experience at all with that build - the tablet stopped charging when I dirty flashed.

I then wiped and clean flashed, found out there is no Gapps. Tried reflashing Gapps, now I have a Play Store but Play Store Services just crashes so I can't sign in. Kinda done with trying to make that build work tbh.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] js-xda:
Which one do you have? Grouper or Tilapia?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] laugeek57:
Hello,

Grouper 2012 :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dark0shark:
Installed by dirty flashing, then booted directly into Recovery again for flashing opengapps and magisk - works fine. Posting from this device.

Dear AndDiSa, thank you for this update, everything works fine (tilapia).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wiichoo:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Swanee123:
I'm loving the latest tilapia version as well. Dirty flash over previous AndDiSa version
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sam Nakamura:
Hey Bro, nice to see around here!

That's just weird, I still use my Grouper almost daily to watch YouTube and stuff and had not a single issue to this day, just now I saw the new goodness AndDiSa cooked up, downloading now but I'm absolutely confident!

Sure you did it right (like reboot between ROM & GApps), any Magisk Mods like charging controls, etc. or like the charging issue is a good old hardware problem coincidentally manifesting with the update?

But how I'm I asking, I'm pretty sure you already thought of those possibilities, however again, daily user without issues here - let's see what the newest build brings.... :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] breaktheblock:
Grouper

My grouper wasn't signing in but then I worked out that I was getting emails on the email address to authorise the sign in worked after that. :good:

I'm having and always have had issues with AndDiSa's build as soon as I put gapps on several things "stop working" or force close. I have tried clearing cache / dalvik etc. Still not solved.

I've always had this with different builds by AndDiSa and more updated gapps, others saying they have never had an issue, is there any way to resolve? :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mikeataol:
For some time my process has been (on lots of phones and tablets, not just this Nexus)

wipe system, cache, and dalvik

Install ROM

REBOOT TO RECOVERY

Install OpenGapps

Reboot to Recovery

Install Magisk

I rarely see issues doing this, and I almost always leave /DATA intact so my apps and settings are there when I reboot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] js-xda:
Flashed the latest build of AndDiSa on my Tilapia (usual dirty flash incl. OpenGAPPS Pico as described in OP) and so far running smooth! Thank you very much [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION]!

Something that I am wondering about: Would it be reasonable to include the latest build (as tested by now by several users without issues) in the OP with a brief & clear statement on the circumstances and include a change log? Might make things easier for people not following regularly the thread.

anyone having Bluetooth issues?

can't reconnect my headset which I used to be able to use and connect on every single ROM since at least a year... did the usual dirty flash of August 23rd with recent GApps, deleted caches, paired again but doesn't finish - don't want to revert yet!

logcat?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tolga9009:
Thanks! I have installed Grouper ROM from 23.08.2019, coming from the May Build. I've noticed better charging speed (100mA - 300mA previously, now always 500mA). Haven't noticed any drawbacks / issues so far. Very happy with the update!

I have tried your method and also a wipe everything clean install, exactly the same but without magisk.

I boot into the OS for the first time and I get crashes with Google Play services on the setup wizard.

I get into the main app draw screen and I'm getting crashes with the launcher and some of the system apps stopping also.

I'm wondering if it's caused by defective hardware?

yep, flashed back to the previous build created by a member (https://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/development/rom-android-7-aosp-grouper-t3467514/post79941527) and Bluetooth is working as expected, like it always was...

let's see what the future brings, for now I'm stuck as Bluetooth is too Important to me, not even owning a wired headset anymore... probably due to the P2XL I use, which has no headphone jack...

wondering why only me noticing this... :cyclops:
