If you alter your initial gapps-config file (or need to restore a previously deleted system APK 😁) you need to format /system partition and dirty flash the LOS firmware, Opengapps, etc... This keep your configuration.

Good slimming cure 🍺

Yes i have the same problem with this grey bar. Is it possible to disable it?

Another point is how to get the network traffic monitoring works?

I updates my deb from an Android 10 AEX rom.

Everything seems to be fine and smoth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] poo706:
Not that I'm aware of, there aren't many options for Trebuchet. I tried switching to Apex launcher, but the gray bar behavior persisted. And once you switch to a different launcher, you can't just freeze Trebuchet, it takes the nav buttons away. I even tried using Trebuchet from 18.1, it didn't like that.

I would like to default to Apex launcher instead of Trebuchent and remove trebuchent.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] angeleo02:
Which custom kernel can i use here?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:
Being an old device that runs on an older Kernel the only choice would be the EX kernel Followmsi built and is in the downloads directory under kernels.

Just install Apex and make it the default launcher.

Of course! From fastboot you can flash the nexus stock rom and everything will be back to how it was. Or with some script to repartition to the original size.

Wonder if someone could help me figure out what is wrong with this. I have a nexus 7 wifi (flo). Im getting the below message when i try to flash. Sorry if this seems like an easy issue. I just havent done this in awhile. I searched the thread and couldnt find the answer.

I wiped system, data, and davlik before trying to flash. It's as if the tablet doesnt know what it is. I could just change the updater-script but id like to know whats going on before i do that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] temporarium:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] temporarium:
Did you reboot to recovery after the partition resize, or flash the ROM directly?

Try formatting system and data before flashing
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] steveindajeep:
I flashed right after resize as ive heard it may "shrink back" if you dont.

Ive already formatted system, data, and caches
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] steveindajeep:
ok i did an adb sideload of the OS and it took it. Dont know, dont care, its working lol. Thanks all.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] the1dynasty:
For anyone who has already partitioned their Nexus 7 prior to trying to flash this ROM. If you run into installation errors because the partition is too small, I will list the steps I took to get everything installed.

Here are the files you will need (or at least what I used and worked for me):

1) sysrepartundo.zip found here

2) REPIT: for Nexus 7

3) Latest Magisk apk

4) Latest ROM, GAPPS (I chose pico), Kernel (optional), TWRP. Which are all found in the OP Google Drive link.

Next we will need to partition the device in order to install everything smoothly:

1) Boot into bootloader and flash TWRP. I used the one from the OP Google Drive folder.

2) You will have to reformat your partition to it's original state before using REPIT. So install sysrepartundo.zip after it's done, restart recovery.

3) Follow the installation instructions for REPIT linked above. Or just read this excerpt from that thread (except step 6).

*I had some issues with it installing initially. Restarting Recovery and following the steps closely seemed to work for me.

4) Once it's partitioned to the larger size you shouldn't have any issues following the directions from the OP.

*For Magisk: Once you download the latest apk, change the file extension from .apk to .zip and install as per instructions below.

**For Kernel: I installed it after step 5 because I forgot to install it after the ROM. This is optional and can be installed at any point after the ROM is installed.

I will also add that some installation instructions from this post helped. So I'll include that bit below.

I hope this helps someone. I spent like 2hrs trying to figure out why it wasn't flashing even though my system was already partitioned. And after the fact, I overlooked the part about the partition in the OP because I figured mine was already good. My mistake 😅
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] poo706:
@followmsi

I think you have a winner here! Installed on my 1380 MB partition with gapps by removing several system and google apps I didn't need. The nav bar issues are fixed. Working great with the latest 24309 Magisk Canary. No touchscreen lag like I had on 18.1. I dirty flashed over 17.1 without issue. The only issue I've noticed so far is that the keyboard switching button doesn't appear in the nav bar. But I can always open the Hacker's Keyboard homescreen icon and switch keyboards from there. A little extra work, but not a deal breaker.

How often do you plan on releasing builds? Also, I've built your 17.1 ROM, and I don't see a link for building 19.1 in the OP. Same instructions, just different repo?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
The flo / deb device, kernel and vendor repos are ready for 19.1 .. on my github.

But the 19.1 manifest is still a mess .. some repos are still missing .. or not tracked yet.

Some repos will not be tracked anymore ..

Lineage will drop support for older devices like flo.

As well you have to manually cherry-pick quite some changes to make it build and work.

Hope to find the time to properly document all this stuff at some point ..

Woow i didnt know there were still updates to my nexus 7 2013 :D

im certainlygoing to try to not break it ...

i just havent installed roms since almost 4 years so im very rusty in that regard

how do i go to update this

i install the latest twrp [check]

repartition [?] reboot to recovery

install rom as usual

gapps

???

success

i would love to know about repartioning as i never did that...

i thing i will go with https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-unofficial-port-repit-for-nexus-7-2013-deb-flo.4237183/ from @ipdev

but to see if i understood correctly

- You can just reboot once the script finishes.

i Boot into TWRP

Allow Modifications

the repit zip to /tmp (need to figure this out)

Disconnect from computer

Disable MTP TWRP -> Mount

TWRP -> Install -> navigate to /tmp and flash the repit zip

Reboot to system recovery and

install rom as usual

i just went for it and repartitioned and installed the rom ... for some reason itt

when trying to inftall the GAPPS it says the sdk is incorrect and aborts

i restarted and BOOM

Really? It works badly for me and I have no idea how someone can be fine. LOS is very, very raw, it needs a normal core (overclocked with a frequency of at least 1.9-2 MHz

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ipdev:
Hi all. 🙂

One of the first thing I do is enable developer options.

Then reduce the animation scale(s).

I set them to .5x this reduces loading time and very little/if any visual difference.

Turn it off and it become visibly flat.

Flat is the term that was most refer to when Android GO was released.

Animation(s) are off, so rendering looked... Flat. 🙃​

Lineage has been a little notorious for developing a lag over time.

Thanks to k23m, I run fstrim every now and then.

RESTOCK - [xdaThread] - Post #114

I am lazy so, I made a script that I run every now and then.

Updated to use Magisk's busybox if busybox is not available.

Currently using zram.

It was added back into flo(x) builds and followmsi is using the new (flox) implementation of it.

Using zram might hinder performance on some older devices.

For the record..

I use OpenGApps. 🙃

Due to the size of lineage and GApps, Pico is the largest package that can be installed on flo/deb.

I have seen a lot of different opinions on core(s) throttling.

- Overclocking might give a negative result.

- Underclocking might give a positive result.

It is device and kernel specific but, kernel devs (know a lot more than I do) set the value(s) for usability and most importantly stability.

followmsi's regular kernel still includes bits from EX (ElementalX).

Cheers all. :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] erdar:
This is true because there is an increased frequency of GPU, instead of 400, -585. in normal use it may not be very noticeable, but maybe in games it's better, however, with a core frequency of 1.5 the potential is not completely is revealed. However, thank you for the information!is revealed.

I have been trying to repartition the size following the steps outlined above with lanchon-repit-20210221-system=max+wipe-cache=16M+wipe-deb.zip for 19.1 version but keep getting Error 1, see photo. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] greenleaves:
Problem fixed. Now 19.1, pico gapps and Magisk 25.0 were flashed in success. The problem was that I didn't follow through the steps carefully described on the Lanchon REPIT OP to increase the partition sizes as follows:

The file name actually configures the repit script.

Noted that you may have to toggle MTP Disable, Enable, Disable.

Noted that you may have to reboot into TWRP after disabling MTP.

Remember /tmp is wiped after a reboot. Copy repit to /sdcard and after rebooting back into TWRP, copy it from /sdcard to /tmp using TWRP File manager.

Noted that you may have to unmount cache and data.

Do NOT flash repit from USB/OTG.

This is designed for a stock partition layout. If your device has been modified and a vendor partition was created, REPIT will not work.

I just followed this https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/flox/install#repartition to do a repartition, but I met a error 21, I still followed the 'modify', after about half an hour, I stoped the conect with PC.

now my nexus7 can boot into fastboot or recovery model, but can not flash any rom with recovery, I also download the factory image, and flashed with flash-all.bat, but can't help. it just reboot again and again.

I think I have to do the modify manually, or anyone can tell me now how can I flash any rom to my nexus7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] temporarium:
For convenience. Do you need/use all the apps in the full package? If not, install the basics and install the most recent versions of the ones you actually need from the Play Store. This is just a suggestion. Personally, I avoid all Google apps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ipdev:
Some devices have larger partitions and can use the larger packages.

I use Pixel C (dragon) to test the stock package for example.

If it works in the stock package, it should work in them all.​

OpenGApps has 7 packages.

Wiki [GitHub] - Package-Comparison - Link

You can also use a config file to customize your install.

Wiki [GitHub] - Advanced-Features-and-Options - Link

With ROMs and GApps becoming larger all the time..

For flo/deb, 1.4G is the largest we can push the system partition without rearranging other partitions.

Rearranging partitions can become dangerous.

Lineage 19.1 is currently 1.1G that only leaves 338M available on flo/deb.

Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
1.4G 1.1G 338.3M 77% /system

Pico is the largest OpenGApps package that can be installed along with Lineage 19.1 on flo/deb.

Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
1.4G 1.4G 90.2M 94% /system

Hope it helps more than confuse. 🙃

To install android 10 and above custom roms i see the device needs to be repartitioned.

I'm able to do this on my Pixel 5 phone, but have been having trouble doing that with this device using the current ROM; every time I enable the hotspot feature, the wifi turns off. Does anyone know if this device, using this ROM, supports this feature? Is this perhaps a hardware limitation of this device?
