Try Unlegacy Android (official May build, Android 8.1)

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-7-2013/orig-development/rom-unlegacy-android-project-t3578301

plus OpenGapps pico

and

ElementalX kernel (boasts both overclocking and undevolting)

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389022

I'm currently using the above with a mild overclock (CPU to 1728 MHz, GPU to 491 MHz).

So far everything runs normal without any issues whatsoever, UX is smooth, Google Play shows that the device is certified, no Widevine L3 but this is expected behavior.

Hi

Thanks for this I will give it a try - Will it be faster than the last version of LineageOS that I am currently running ?

I will give the ElementalX kernel a miss - seems a bit too complicated for me !

Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] erne:
Ok I went for it and downloaded and installed both the rom and kernel

The rom on its own seemed to be a good increase in speed of the tablet

I have just done the kernel so will see how that performs over the next few days

This just might save me the cost of a new tablet :)

Thanks

Great thread

I have 3 N7 2013 LTE tablets and it's refreshing to read such knowledgeable posts. I love my N7s and my only gripe are the damned random reboots. I have installed virtually every custom ROM on XDA over the years primarily to fix this problem. I'm currently running Ripee's LOS 10 unofficial. I can't count how many requests for fix ideas I've posted on XDA, with no replies, whatsoever. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can't even remember if the stock ROM suffered from this problem, also.

Thanks

If you don''t use any specific apps that don't work in Oreo 8.1, I can totally recommend the last Oreo build (May 2019) of Unlegacy Android.

It's totally stable—I've been using it as a daily driver for a year or so.

[UPDATE January, 2023] - Yep, I just wanted to chime in after almost 5 years to mention how true this holds true. I replaced the Nexus with the Galaxy Tab S2 back in November 2018. Ended up having to replace the battery this past December and its still supported by LineageOS 18.1 (Android 10) official rom which was last updated on December 2022. With LOS and GAPPS I can still use to watch Disney+, Peacock (albeit HD not UHD :)), Crackle, Pluto, (dont have a netflix subscription) and browse the web. There is still life left on this device, especially after a $20 battery replacement.

EDIT: Updated to mention Lineage OS was an unofficial release.

I would be interested in this subject being re-kindled (unintentional pun?).

I have been watching this thread for a couple of years now. But my the auto-rotate on my N7 is going (intermittently) and I am think again about my next move. and would like a tablet that would have the kind of long lived LinaeageOS support that I have seen with the N7.

I could purchase another N7 off ebay, but it seems that it might be a good time to get something a little more modern. Frankly, I don't want to spend a lot of $ for something new.... just newer?

Any suggestions for a tablet.... a worthy successor in 2023 (6 years after this thread began?

I have been very happy with LineageOS 19.1 and would like something that will run it and go into the future.....

Thanks!

Unfortunately, for me a worthy successor for the N7 has never existed . The "Full HD+ & wireless charging" combo still remains unbeaten by anything available on the market. It is a shame Asus stopped making tablets :(

I really like my 2nd tablet though (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, the older Exynos version), and if I were to buy a tablet today, I would buy the S6 Lite 2022 (Snapdragon) version.

The S6 Lite has great build, great IPS screen, fantastic sound for the price (2 AKG tuned speakers with perfect placement for holding the tablet in landscape AND 3.5" jack with UHQ sound upscaling for the latter), and a good battery. I do not use the DeX mode daily because I have a PC, but I played with the DeX mode and it is quite responsive.

Yes it is larger and heavier than the N7, but I got used to the size and extra weight in two weeks and never looked back. The S6 Lite is my daily driver now, and N7 has been repurposed as a source for music streaming plus a "smart speaker" (with external speakers via a dedicated DAC of course).

The wireless charging helps immensely because I have my DAC connected to the MicroUSB port all the time :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TamD:
"Unfortunately, for me a worthy successor for the N7 has never existed ."

That is what I keep thinking.... and says something that our 10 year old N7's still rate so highly, with so many, that it is still getting custom roms for it. I will check out the S6....

I have my finicky auto-rotate (mostly) working. So, I am not in a big rush to make a purchase of a new tablet yet.... But, there will come a time..... :-)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] m00nlighter:
If you use wired headphones AND MicroSD cards, the market offers are already kinda limited.

The key point is if you can get used to the extra size and weight or not. I had no problems with that, but the user experience with larger tablets varies from user to user.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jmcollis:
Finding a replacement as others have expressed is indeed difficult. My N7 still runs (sort of - it can't keep larger apps running, they will unexpectedly quit). I have tried the 2022 Samsung S6 Lite, and it is a good tablet in general - but I really find it diffcult to use because it's just too large. I'm not looking for a laptop type thing. Really I want something I can read with (in bed while lying down) and isn't too heavy or awkward to hold. I also want to be able to watch the odd bit of You Tube (so yes stereo sound matters), and read email and the some basic web-browsing/social media. There is nothing here that needs a tablet larger than 8inches, and today's Android tablets seem to be getting bigger and bigger and heavier as well. Not ideal to my mind.

I may have to give in and go for a smaller e-ink Android eReader (Boox Nova 2 or Nova Color?) that will do the basic bare bones. Nothing out there beats the price of the N7, for what it offered, 10 years ago though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TamD:
Agreed. Although I must say that my N7 has not run so smoothly as it does with the very recently released Unofficial LineageOS 20 in many many years. I am impressed. You might give it a try..... Android 13 on our Nexus 7's.... who would have thought it?

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-flo-deb-unofficial-lineageos-20-0.3569067/

Granted I ungoogled, using MicroG instead of Gapps. Google services really bogged down my system in the past. But your use of the N7 is very similar to mine and I don't miss Google at all.

I have recently purchased the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) (Wi-Fi) as a replacement for my failing Nexus 7 (2013), running the [ROM][OFFICIAL][13] LineageOS 20.0 for the SM-T290 (gtowifi). The tricky part was finding a tablet that did not have the January firmware update that keeps you from installing ANY custom ROMS.

So far I am very pleased. It is a little larger than the N7, but not by much. Having a SD Card after so long is great. :)

For the first time in many years I would consider buying this as a replacement for N7 2013:

https://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_legion_y700_(2023)-12476.php

Compact sized tablets with a decent HW are almost non-existent nowadays and it's been like that for many years. Lenovo ticks almost all boxes for me. There are some downsides however: It doesn't have a mobile data option and GPS (come to think of it I wouldn't probably used those, but still, maybe I change my habits in the future). The missing 3.5 mm jack is compensated in my eyes by an extra usb-c port. I don't care about gaming features, but I worry about SW support for this Lenovo. An official LineageOS would be great, or any other kind of a clean ROM.

I've been using my N7 2013 for 11 years now almost daily (watching movies) and it still runs without any problems. The biggest surprise is for me the battery, I can hardly see any declining capacity issues (I always charged when the battery was almost completely drained to 100% in one go), second surprise is how the internal memory storage is holding up. In years I copied terabytes of movies through it and there are no problems so far. I did a calculation many years back (based on the MLC write cycles endurance for the given capacity) to see how many years I can go with the device as a movie storage/player and that is exceeded now for sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarpRider:
Hi there,

last time i was locking for to root the handset Gigaset SL 930. Some potential tools like kingroot&co not work at current android version.

I start my analysis with the handset, wifi and a proxy-server on local network.

The handset call after reboot this URL to check the firmware (proxy log):

http://profile.gigaset.net/firmware/sl930/lion_s/germany-retail/lion_s.ota.zip? HTTP/1.1] [200 376] [-] [Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.3.1; SL930 Build/1.2.42.1; SN/**************)]

It seems to be a hard codet call within some referer an serial number of the handset.

So the lion_s.ota.zip you can download separately.

Can someone cook a rooted zip?

I'm think it is possible to present the handset in locale network a rooted image-zip/download within a proxy and locale webserver, like apache.

I ask for support here, please.

Thanks, WR

Hello fellas,

as the title says, i'm enabling the data saver feature for ALL the apps (both installed and system apps) with no exception .. yet, every now and then the screen lock data usage notification mentions that an amount of mobile data has been used by some apps (facebook, whatsapp, system apps ..)

is this a common bug on the honor 6x/emui5 or is there something else i'm missing here ??

Hi, i keep data saver always on for habit and i didn't noticed a traffic of mobile data while it is activated. But i know also that those damned social apps are a true pain for phones. I don't have neither one so i can't confirm that, but maybe someone else who has Facebook or others could provide a feedback about. Have you took in consideration the idea of using socials via web browser? When i still had my Facebook account 2 years ago, i used to do everything by my browser because in this way, i was able to avoid useless and heavyweight, crappy client apps :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] samiblm:
Hi and thank you for your feedback,

Well the thing is, not only social media apps that consume background data but many other apps including games and system apps, maybe not with same amount but they still do, and what mostly concerned about is how come such a bug can even occur in our phone ..

if you are using honor 6x with thae latest emui i suggest you turn on the "locked screen data usage reminder" from (settings -» mobile data -» then the settings icon up right) and see if you are gonna get leaked data ..

Then we can know for sure from where the problem is coming from

I'm looking forward to reading your feedback ..
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
I tested by disabling or restricting the same and still saw the traffic as bytes on status bar.

But when data turned off, didn't see any bytes consumed. Evem when opened Facebook, it shows 34-35KB data transfer rate but not updated or refreshed means data is not consume and it was only trying to send the data (upload speed) but none received (download data).

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] tanguero8:
I got the same one about the same date, proceeded to install it (after backing up whatever I could). It installed problem-free (I had about 1.5 GB of my 16 GB free, for what it's worth). Almost a week later, the phone is functioning as well as before (no speedup/slowdown/flaky behaviour). The only new feature is the automatic installation of Google Play Protect that automatically scans Apps periodically for who-knows-what (didn't complain about any of my 103 Apps, so it's not super-aggressive).
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] im_red:
I'm having many of the same issues, they seem to revolve around the microSD card. For some reason after the update my phone can't seem to access it or the app data stored there. Many of my apps were on my SD card so they're affected. I'm so annoyed I'm about to factory reset my phone to see if that helps. I've reported it to Blu but haven't heard anything.

Any suggestions on how to fix it w/o the factory reset? Thanks!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] tanguero8:
My guess is that the new update implemented more "security features." Since Google, in its not-so-infinite wisdom, considers SD cards to be inherently insecure, and Apps have become more and more difficult to store on SD cards with recent generations of Android, it is perhaps not so surprising that whatever limited possibility there was of installing Apps on the SD card before was removed with this update, causing the aforementioned problems. Especially for those who have the essentially useless 8 GB version of the R1 HD, which has only 3 GB or so available for Apps, this is not going to be good news.

I don't think a factory reset will help either (since it won't restore to the previous version of Android). The best that can be done is to save your important App data on the SD card by copying its contents onto a computer, then judiciously delete Apps that you don't need and reinstall them on the main memory and manually copy over the App data.

This is speculation, but it would be consistent with my own experiences on previous upgrades on earlier phones (the Blu Life One), where SD card usage for Apps became more and more problematic.

Or upgrade to a phone with more internal memory if you really can't find enough Apps to delete (I know that's not the point of this thread, but I think for the 8 GB R1 HD owners, that day will come sooner rather than later). Nowadays, 16 GB is the minimum for even light users, what with the the OS taking up the better part of 8 GB, and Apps like Whatsapp having no way to store their files, not even space-hogging media files, on the SD card.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] im_red:
Something similar happened to my phone with their spring update. Enough people had similar issues that Blu enabled people to roll it back. I wonder if the issues are related?

Also, I can' t update apps from the play store or download new ones.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] im_red:
I think you're right about the SD card. I did the reset and while it fixed most of my problems I still can't access the sd card so it's useless.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Letitride:
I have had my 32GB (HC Class 10) mSD card corrupted each time updating/clean install newer R1 HD rom - making it unreadable & unusable, getting the prompt to reformat it again for use.

I run my most recent V8.5 modified stock Rom rooted and fairly lean, so there's enough space on the R1 HD (16GB) rom to keep all the Apps on it, without moving them over. Only storing documents, PDF's, photos/images and MP4's on it - using it as my backup/travel phone, etc.

Doing my setup now to prep for updating to latest V8.7 rom, debloating it & planning to run Xposed modules on it again, taking out my mSD card first and will re-insert once the new Rom is done & settled down, let's see how it go ... rather take a few extra minutes to do this instead of moving the contents around or copying them over again, etc.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
I did the same thing and only use the sd card for storage for audio books and music files. I updated the phone the other night from the first version of the ROM to 8.7 and the only annoying thing I have noticed so far is that it no longer responds to "ok google" when the screen is off and the phone is being charged. It used to respond before the update. I don't know if this was a Blu-specific change or if it affected all versions of Android. Xposed works fine on 8.7 and I'm glad that I bought the donate version so I was able to save and restore all of the many changes I made to settings in Xposed. It's such great software that the guy deserves to make some money for all his work.

Moving apps to the sd card on previous phones has always been fragile and ended up having issues so I don't even attempt it any more. I just decided to keep only the stuff I really need on the phone.

I will be applying all of the tweaks on my own Nexus 6P, and report back with screenshots and statistics.

English isn't my primary language so sorry in advance for any faults.

Also mind that I only posted the thread already so I can work on it at different times because I have school and work.

I'm primarily creating this guide to not having to look up the to blocking wakelocks and tweaks, but just having one guide instead of so many when i flash another rom or lose all my data.

So let's start!

Setup

1: I suggest flashing this 8.0 Oreo rom from here

2: Convert your data and cache to F2FS with TWRP from flash's site here

3: For the kernel I would pick Flash's kernel here

4: Flash Magisk 14.0 here

5: Install the Magisk manager app, EX kernel Manager app and the Wakeblock app to block the wakeblocks.

6: Launch the Wakeblock app and install the core mod

7: Reboot!

8: When dirtyflashing wipe cache and dalvik cache
