Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM (8/30 build) or an issue with NikGApps (v13 Stock installed), but I am getting a double navigation bar in the home screen, which you can see attached. Anyone else using NikGApps? I also tried their Go edition and also flashed the Pixel Launcher package they offer and get the same.

UPDATE: By the way, the reason I am not using Mind the GApps as recommended in first post is that I like that NikGApps offers a package where all available Go apps are installed instead of the regular ones (Gmail Go, Google Go, Navigation Go, etc.)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
I use Lawnchair with Trebuchet Recents and NikGapps Go arm test build and don't see that. I don't think Pixel Launcher is meant to run on arm.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Biolekia:
I just found my nexus 7 flo after 2 years. It is still on LineageOS 18.1. And it is very slow now. No fun to use it.

What do you think, will a fresh update give me a perfomance improvement?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TamD:
My opinion. Yes. I love the new builds. Way better than 18.1 But I suggest NOT installing Gapps.... just use Aurora store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Biolekia:
Ok. Thank you for your input. Maybe i will try at the weekend. It is a long time since i installed custom roms last time :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TamD:
You are already repartitioned with 18.1. So it should be a breeze. :-)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TamD:
Note: This LineageOS 20 build is already set for spoofing. If you want to avoid Gapps just install microG as a Magisk Module "microG Installer Revived" and use the Aurora Store and F-droid for all of your apps. My 2 cents. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Knightr1d3r007:
Big 'thank you' to the team supporting this Nexus 7 device, you guys brought life again to this awesome tablet. . I tried this build for few days and so far now the tablet is faster and more responsive than with the official Lineage 18.1. I'm wondering, what else is required to have this build officially accepted by LineageOS?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hfmls:
i bought two nexus 7 for 40€, i use it as a video door bell thing, also serves music in kitchen/living room using bluetooth on ceiling speakers... guess what? it works.

20€ wifi video door bell, install APK for the doorbell. revanced and 20€ old tablet. Everything nice and smooth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Razor1973:
Are there plans to update after the 8/30 version? This very old tablet has no business being this responsive with the latest version of Android. Very nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] morigero:
Does this ROM have the problem that you have to confirm that you can transfer files every time you plug it into USB?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TamD:
Not in my experience. Make sure to go to "Developer Options" and select "Default USB configuration" and select "File Transfer".
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] morigero:
I just installed the ROM and tested it myself, and the setting you mentioned resets every time I plug it into the USB port. So yes, you have to keep setting it to data transfer manually.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] TamD:
I have no other suggestions. Sorry.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] morigero:
The behavior occurs if no password or pin is set.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] nerfiaux:
Could there be a lineageOS 21 ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] doxts:
@nerfiaux I heard that Google considered ending support for 32-bit and go 64-bit only. LOS 20 runs very smooth regarding it's a 10 years old tablet at this point.

If Android 14 still works with 32-bit SOCs and the developer for this ROM had enough time, theoretically, it would be possible then. But Android 14 didn't change much compared to 13, therefore, I assume that the willingness for such a project is lower compared to Android 12 → 13.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] morigero:
When I delete large files (eg. 6GB), this takes several seconds. Much longer than I have experienced with other mods. Is this a known behavior? Is it possible that a trim is executed immediately?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] davox2:
I have installed this back in October and worked flawlessly. In the last days, it seems that it cannot log in any more in google playstore. I can see the confirmation request (confirm that it's you...) on another device, so the first part of the auth process is working. But when I click confirm, the Nexus 7 just keep showing the spinning sign.

Clear cache/clear playstore storage did not help. Downgrading to stock version of both playstore and playservices also did not help. Did anyone faced the same issue and in case what was the solution applied?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] amityg:
try a reinstall of gapps...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] prsa01:
Did op finally run out of time to do updates? Looks like August was most recent.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] redwoodie:
Installed and seems to be working well. Concerning encryption...

Does this mean: Do not set a pin, password or pattern to unlock the screen?

Any alternate way to secure the lockscreen?

To root...flash Magisk zip is OK, or flash patched boot image? Topjophnwu sez flashing zip is deprecated.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
Screen locks work normally, they're just not connected to any kind of encryption.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] tt_rockt:
Would it be a problem to flash 20 over 18.1?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] tt_rockt:
Or is there a kernel with I could speed up 18.1?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] redwoodie:
I'm really liking this ROM, however I'm having a few issues.

1) System UI often stops responding. Gives "Close app/Wait" message. Either choice, the UI restarts itself--Wait just delays it. Apps also behave similarly.

It seems to happen most often when starting an app for the first time, but not confined to that state. In those instances the app also often freezes and give the message " ''App X' is not responding--Close App or Wait." Sometimes closing it and clearing the app cache fixes it temporarily. Settings and Kindle are especially bad.

2) Mobile data (VZW) doesn't want to reconnect after reboot unless I toggle Airplane Mode. I changed the Preferred Network Type from default LTE/GSM/UMTS to Global, it was not staying connected under the earlier setting. I have Mobile Data Always Actiive selected in Developer options but if Wifi is one and I turn it off I still have to toggle Airplane.

I was running LOS 18 on 1380/20 partitions earlier, I repartitioned with Lanchon REPIT System=Max-Cache=16M before flashing ROM. The earlier ROM had some of the same behavior symptoms, especially the mobile data ones.

Log attached. Any suggestions for fixes appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Sam15012:
Loving this rom, only issue I'm having is that if I leave the screen to timeout and turn off then it comes back on 3 or 4 seconds later and then turns off again after the timeout. It does this continuously. If I turn off the screen with the power button it stays off.

Any ideas on a fix for this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] hfmls:
No notifications on Blink doorbell app camera. Everything works ok in other two smartphones.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Stettin:
I installed with no issue about 6 months ago on my 32GB, wiping/repartition to LineageOS 18.1 and MindTheGapps 11 with no issue. I decided to try with my wife's 16GB version as she's no longer using that tablet. I went with LineageOS 20.0 and MindTheGapps 13, but I get a storage insufficient error:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] JohannesL2021:
Sorry, when I try factory reset (or so) mobile says there is no fstab.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] JohannesL2021:
The Tab is back with Android 6.0.1. After the above "problems" I

- installed stock Android 6.0.1 (but Android did'nt start, very long "start animation")

- installed twrp from here (followmsi)

- with twrp installed k23m-persist-fix2.zip

after that Android started.

I updated twrp to official twrp flo and made a nandroid backup.

Now I need some hint for moving to LineageOS - perhaps 18.1.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] prsa01:
You'll need to expand the system partition which is a one-time operation. I believe the tools needed are on OP's links. All info and link to sysrepart.zip are in op.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] davox2:
Which NikGApps did you install? On the NikGApps site I can only found the arm64 version. I tried to install the core version but did not wok. I guess that's not compatible with 2013 flo [it should be a arm].
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Razor1973:
I did not remember, so I looked at the files in my flo and have both the Stock and Go versions from 20230716. Not sure which of the 2 I ended up installing, but it was one of those, not Core.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] karmasore:
Hi all,

I just found my Nexus 7 2013 wifi version. Is there a guide for updating from old Lineage 16 to the current version? Or is the guide in the first post adequate? Any help is appreciated!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Razor1973:
Did you see the first 2 steps of that guide in post 1? Factory reset and system wipe. You're really not upgrading. You're wiping and starting over. But since you're keeping internal storage, you should be able to keep all of your data. I'd still wouldn't risk it and back up what you need to keep first.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] doxts:
Good news for the Nexus 7 2013: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-28/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] prsa01:
So only deb it looks like?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
flox has been supported for awhile.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to this from Lineage 18.1. First, I honestly don't recall ever repartitioning the device but it was a requirement for 18.1 isn't it? Is there a way to check? Or My memory isn't so good anymore in my old age :cry:

Assuming I've already repartitioned, does anyone have the steps to go from 18.1 to 20.0? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Razor1973:
If you're on 18.1, I am pretty sure you're already re-partitioned, but I'm no expert. Regarding upgrading, the first step in the instructions in the first post talks about factory reset, so you're basically starting from scratch. Follow those instructions and you should be good.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Thanks! I got the OS updated but I can't install Gapps. I downloaded the MindTheGapps from the first post. I tried installing it with the OS and got the error "Updater Process endded with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file 'sdcard/...' I also tried booting into the OS, then rebooting into recovery to install Gapps and got the same message. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Razor1973:
Maybe try the latest package from their official site.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Ok, I'll give it a try after I figure out how to unbrick my tablet. I installed the syspart ultimate and now I can't access the SD card. It boots into fastboot and it'll boot into recovery but I can't copy any files to the device even though Windows sees it. I tried adb and it doesn't see the device. Any thoughts on how to fix?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
That's not their official site, it's run by "magiskzip.com", whoever the hell that is.

Only official "site" is basically here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Ok so I ran Restock2 so I'm back to stock and gave it another shot. I've actually tried this a few times and I keep losing partitions and having to run Restock and start over so hoping for a little advice on if I'm doing this correctly and where I'm going wrong:

1) Update TWRP to the followmsi version in post 1. Reboot into TWRP

2) Copy Lineage and SysRepart 1380 from post 1 and MindtheGapps (latest from Lineage wiki) to the Nexus

3) Factory reset in TWRP

4) This is where I get confused but this is what I'm doing. If I try to install the ROM, it get an error that there's not enough space. If I install SysRepart, that works fine but then when I try to install the ROM, I get some kind of error and then my partitions get wiped and I have to go back to Restock

Since I'm now back to stock after Restock, do I need to do something else or some other repartitioning first? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kozmo2k4:
After you run sysrepart, you need to reboot to Bootloader (using Power plus VolumeDown buttons), and reinstall Recovery (the would be wiped by sysrepart). Then do another full wipe. Only then the table is ready for the new LineageOS.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Ok, this is definitely something I wasn't doing. I ran sysrepart-ultimate and TWRP is still there and I can boot into recovery. I can't actually install anything because while I can see the Nexus in windows, I can't copy anything to it. How do I reinstall recovery so I can then flash LOS 20? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kozmo2k4:
Follow the steps on the LineageOS official site:

Install LineageOS on flox | LineageOS Wiki

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Well, for anyone wondering, I was able to flash LOS 20 using Cross / any-rom-install. I'm still not able to get MindtheGapps installed but the ROM itself is fine. For what it's worth, here are the steps I took:

1) Restock2

2) Add-ons -> TWRP (Y), MOB30X-FIX1 (Y), Root (N), Elemental (N)

3) Turn off manually. Boot into TWRP. Install k23m-persist-fix2.zip

4) Boot into stock. Reboot into recovery

5) Run Cross / any-rom-install -> Flash official (Y), Repartition (Y), I think I said N to one of the options but basically I followed the instructions to choose whatever option was associated with "I don't know or unsure"

If anyone has any ideas on how to install Gapps, let me know. The version I tried to install was MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm-20231025_200806 from the Lineage wiki. I guess I also don't really need Gapps per se. I only need Netflix so my kids can watch on the tablet so if there's another way to install, I'm totally open to that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Ne3M:
Hi, I'd appreciate some help with a possibly modified kernel. I removed the battery on my Nexus 7 2013 Deb many years ago and power it from an external source to use it as an internet radio. What I didn't know back then was that by removing the battery, I also removed the batttery controller. Tablet would still work fine but just show 0% battery which is ok in my scenario.

Since the original OS is very outdated I tried Lineage 20. Everything flashes perfectly, boots and then as soon as the main welcome screen appears it starts shutting down. The earliest lineage OS which doesn't have this behavious is 14 that I've got currently installed. I think even just writing a hard value from the battery chip driver to say that the battery is 50% for example should fix this problem.

Is possible to modify the kernel or driver to ignore 0% battery info?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] shawn789:
IMO, it might be worth it to buy a cheap replacement battery and harvest the controller board. Seems more likely to happen then having someone else to build you a modified kernel. I'm looking at doing the same thing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:
Alright, I've come back to my Nexus 7 2013 since I have a job for it. I am so glad to see followmsi is still around. Anyway, I can install the ROM and not it boots fine. I'm getting an error on mind the gapps that says it can't mount the system after it has unmounted the system. I've tried installing the ROM, booting into recovery, then trying to install mind the gapps, but anything I try winds up with the same error. This is probably something stupid, but any ideas? Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] prsa01:
Did you expand the system partition? FYI - official LOS is now available and OP stopped providing updates to this unofficial version ~ August.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:
Sure did repartiiution. It almost is acting like it's an access issue. I can't find an official lineage. It looks like flox was discontinued with lineage 18. There is an unsupported 18 thread
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dasrum:
Thank you for good all. I installed LOS20 at my Nexus7 wifi. but, I have a problem that is not working rotation home screen.

Do you know how to fix it. could you please any information?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
Yeah, looks like they added debx to the official 18.1 roster here:

Changelog 28 - Fantastic Fourteen, Amazing Applications, Undeniable User-Experience

Lets have a drink!

lineageos.org

Just to then sunset all of 18.1 builds less than a month later here:

Sunsetting LineageOS 18.1

So long, and thanks for all the fish

lineageos.org

🤷‍♂️🫤
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:
Yeah ok, dummy(me) was sure I used the right TWRP recovery. Nope! Ok now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Hey, do you have LOS 20 and Mindthegapps working? I think I had the same message as you with Mindthegapps but I've installed this so many time and ran into so many errors, I can't keep track. Anyway, if you have LOS 20 and Mindthegapps installed, can you describe what your process was and what exact files / versions you used? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] handas_xda:
Just managed to install Mindthegapps with LOS20 on Nexus7 LTE. Process something like this:

Reboot to TWRP - wipe System partition - install LOS.zip, install Mindthegapps.zip. There was error "could not mount /mnt/system" in TWRP 3.7.0.9. Downgraded to v 3.4 from https://eu.dl.twrp.me/deb/twrp-3.4.0-0-deb.img.html and all went without errors.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
Or you can patch the latest TWRP with my flo2flox zip as I've mentioned a few times here.

[RECOVERY][deb/flo] TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2017-05-19]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven...

xdaforums.com

Edit: Oh wait, just noticed you're on deb. There are no newer official deb builds unfortunately. My flo2flox patches do get the official MTG zip flashing correctly on this flo ROM even, however, for others curious.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] frankquattrone:
Ok I admit I'm very stupid. I guess when I first installed I must have mixed and matched different TWRPs and Mindthegapps. Anyway, I just got it to work and it seems the problem is the wrong version of TWRP. In case it helps anyone, these are my exact steps:

Did these steps first from my above post to get LOS20 installed. You can skip Restock if you have a working version of any ROM installed but I had to go back to stock cuz my tablet wasn't booting.

[ROM][flo|deb][UNOFFICIAL][LineageOS 20.0]

xdaforums.com

This gave me a usable version of LOS20 without Mindthegapps. To get Mindthegapps, I booted into recovery, did a factory reset then installed the followmsi's version of TWRP from the first post. Then I rebooted into recovery again and then installed followmsi's version of Mindthegapps again from the first post. No error messages, tebooted and voila. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] JohannesL2021:
Are there any updates for LineageOS 20.0? Or still with 20230830?

With LineageOS 18.1 we have updates till March and perhaps unofficial updates in the future.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] prsa01:
OP had trouble finding time for this almost from the beginning. I'm guessing either he stopped using his n7 or life got in the way. It's always possible his circumstances will change again at some point but I wouldn't count on it. Maybe someone else will pick it up at some point.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] osm0sis:
I might downgrade mine to final Lineage 18.1 because it's barely usable on 20 due to the memory leak over long uptimes and frequent app hangs/crashes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Aoude.:
Anyone know how he was building LOS 20 when there's no official support to provide blobs? How does one provide blobs in that case? In interested in building 21 if possible but need to understand if it's feasible
