My Software is 1.06.401.14.

I received an update.zip but installation aborted. My System is rooted with Magisk.

[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] twinnfamous:
I've noticed on Oreo firmware for u11 and u11 life if bootloader is unlocked the system will show modified even if nothing was altered. That means the only way would be to lock bootloader and ruu back to stock. It sucks because if we can't get boot.img to patch then there will be no root on the new update you are trying to update to.

[Nexus 7 General] xantonin:
I recently dug up my Nexus 7 and I'd like to make it usable. Last I remember, I had updated it to Android 5.x+, maybe even CM 11+, and it was slower than crap, so I went back to CM 10.2 and it's alright now, way more usable. At that time upgrading to newer Android versions was horrible for performance...

So how are things now? What is the fastest/most usable ROM?

I've seen some 7.x ROMs out there. Also been reading on ParrotMod.

What are you all using? Looking for active users, not people like me that just have it sitting somewhere lol
[Nexus 7 General] gmikhail:
Not higher 4.4.4. AOSP 7 is good, but 4 is still faster. crDroid is also good, but I prefer a pure AOSP.

PS: do not install social or other applications that will run in the background and use device memory during synchronization. Internal flash memory of this device - a weak point and the cause of all lags.

Paid 40$ for mine

Dude said he could not get it to charge,

I am a hardware tech by trade, Opened it, saw the bracket around the actual connection , Closed it up, Charging, Took me 4 mins, and a 1.99$ set of tools, let my 5 yo son use it for 2 weeks until Xmas, ( he got a 2017 Fire 7 tablet, so did his sister, She is 2) .

Continue...Rooted, 5.1.1, LMY47V.

I love it, Been using it at work, watching Maddogs on Amazon prime, Lags at bit but i do tether my phone, Company network is monitored, so .. found everything i needed right here, just downloaded AEX-Unofficial_grouper. going to try it shortly. will let you know.

For some reason i was unable to get AEX to load properly, i followed instructions, wound up downloading 4.4.0 stock, and flashed that, as it rebooted it pulled the 4.4.2 OTA update, and wanted to load 4.4.3, going to run it at 4.4.2 for a few days and see,
[Nexus 7 General] mausbock:
My N7 3G is still my daily driver for reading newspapers, various magazines and surfing.

Due to heavy lags with stock 5.1, I first installed the ParrotMod and later I switched to the Nougat AOSP ROM from AndDiSa for half a year. Now I am on 7.1 nAOSP from millosr, due to better support for N7 3G model. Both ROMs are stable and fast enough for my needs. To prevent system slow down after a couple of days without rebooting, I additionally installed the Greenify app.

[Nexus 7 General] madduffy:
Good idea to have this thread!

Constantly wishing it had a >720p screen. It's great for watching videos and 'good enough' for reading comics but it leaves a lot to be desired for ebook text clarity. I was very happy to still have this when I took an 18 hour train trip this past August and used Netflix to download a bunch of videos beforehand. Since then it's been on my bedside and every once every three weeks I'll go to use it and realize I left it on and unplugged and the battery is dead (oops).

I would consider upgrading to another tablet, but what are my options at this point for one around this size? A 2013 Nexus 7 or the Nvidia shield tablet? I've pretty much given up justifying a purchase because my phone's screen is less than an inch and a half smaller (OnePlus 5T).

ROM: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/development/unofficial-build-cyanogenmod-11-0-nexus-t3174831

I had this running 7.1.1 or whatever and the responsiveness was unacceptable. I completely wiped my device's storage and put this "Unofficial LineageOS 11.0" ROM on. Highly recommend it, although even at this point some apps are not available and you'll have to hunt around for apks. I'm about to update to the 26th November 2017 build (on page 10). Apparently I'm still ext4. I have trimming automatically running every week or boot or something.

I've seen the 'car installations' and those seem really neat but I'm not up to doing that myself. When the battery performance gets bad enough I'd like to repurpose it as a raspberry pi / arduino interface.
[Nexus 7 General] MrTangoWhisky:
Using my Tilapia (Nexus 7 3G) as a geocaching device on a daily basis I was used to find a more modern version than 4.4.4 and stock 5.1 was, as everybody should know, crappy and laggy as f*ck. For some time I used AndDiSa's 7.1.1 AOSP and it was way more stable than any version I used before. Then I stumbled across Dirty Unicorns unofficial port by daniel_hk and as long as you don't use the official facebook app is is a charme. I would recommend you to use this ROM.

There is also a handfull of other unofficial ports like AirOne70's version for grouper and a few others.

Another remarkable Dev is milos. I tried his nightly AOSP from 10/08/2017 and as long as you don't use GAPPS the performance and stability is impressive, but I can't find a link atm.

If anyone needs links please PM me, I'm not yet allowed to post them here...

Is there anyway to make facebook usable on Nexus7?
[Nexus 7 General] jretropie:
Ok. After testing many roms.

The only way to get facebook runnable is to use android 4.3.1 (SmoothROM 5.3) ( I think I tested android 7, 6, 5 and 4.4 and all lag like hell)

SmoothROM v5.3 Link

Have to use google chrome and m.facebook.com and add shortcut to desktop.

You can do the same with instagram and youtube. Just don't install the apps.

Running slim 4.4.4 with ParrotMod (F2FS on data partition only). Rooted and SDMaid scheduled to clean things up nightly.

It's not a snappy tablet, but it's fine for reading Facebook and news in the middle of the night--even for watching YouTube videos.

I have the audio dock, so this tablet makes a superb bedside alarm clock/audio-visual entertainment system. I love how it works with the dock so much that I've got a spare motherboard in case the memory fails (again--this is the third MB and fortunately the display shows no signs of dying).

Cryptocurrency is that new online currency like Bitcoin, but it also includes altcoins like the ones that are worth mining with old tablets/phones. I was using the Nexus as a display for my Mooshimeter until the touchscreen failed and I was not able to fix it. I ended up using it for cryptocurrency mining since the failed touchscreen made it unusable for just about anything else. Maybe it was tired of graphing voltages using elementary school algebra and wanted to do some very advanced math for my best friend. :)
[Nexus 7 General] abhifx:
no that i know what is Cryptocurrency, what i find astonishing that with puny power of nexus 7, how are you able to mine anything at all?

[Nexus 7 General] gmikhail:
I will assume that there was something like coinhive dot com (javascript mining in the browser). Nexus 7 2012 gives ~5 h/s.
[Nexus 7 General] NiHaoMike:
The profitability is a lot less now than it was when I started. Something like $15-20/month with 3 cheap smartphones and 2 old tablets. The exact coins I'm mining are a trade secret, but I'll just say that Perk (has been largely dead for over a year) was the one I started with over 2 years ago. (Back then, 4 cheap smartphones will easily get $100/month in profit.)

I only just installed my first custom ROM this weekend after being frustrated by it's lack of responsiveness on stock 5.1.1. I tried a few different ROMs but settled the nAOSP 7.1.1 ROM by millosr, along with formatting the file system to F2FS (for better or worse, time will tell).

It is much, much snappier now than it ever has been, even with factory resets and cache wipes, and is totally usable for my purposes. It's not my daily driver - I only use it for music on my home stereo and as a satnav (with HERE WeGo and their offline maps) and music player in my car - it fits just perfectly in the centre console where the drinks holders are :good:

I'm a **** in this world because I buy tilapia, I don't have any good (and updated option) than AOSP.

But I have some tips to speed up the tablet.

First: Install gapps pico (Not nano)

I know, it's a crap you install other apps manualy, but u let some free space in system and I don't know why it sound better for me.

Second: Preffer to use "light" applications. Cause memory reasons, you know.

Third: Root with supersu or magisk (what you preffer: I'm using magisk now.) Install busybox.

Use "Performance control", "Kernel auditor" or "kernel toolkit" to use interactive or ondemand, and for I/O noop or row.

Test you preferences.

I suggest too use L-Speed to tune some system settings.

I have a chromebook with a touchscreen which is what I mainly use at home, and my phone screen is large enough that i use that at home if i don't feel like using my chromebook. I would say I'm an active user for short bursts, since I will use it for media consumption during flights and at airports for hours to days at times. Works great for that, but pretty slow for literally anything else, even normal internet browsing. it's painful.

PureNexus 6.0.1, DC Kernel, ParrotMod,

I am on a newer ROM though, does anyone have any suggestions about something smoother to try? At this point, I don't mind if it's a super old ROM since I don't use it for literally anything except media right now, so if I can gain something back that would be great.

New nexus 7 2012 user here, got it free from a friend, in faulty condition :33

Overall quite satisfied, here's my configuration :

- RROS 5.8.5 + GAPPS PICO + Magisk

- No modification (no kernel/system tweaks). As-is condition since installed

- F2FS on /data and /cache

- f.lux nvidia tegra driver

Mainly using it for browsing and messaging. Might be laggy for chrome sometimes, otherwise, I'm quite impressed by its performance with my current configuration (and provided that there's tons of apps loaded by me ^^). Audio is quite decent. Battery life is soooooo good :3333 One full charge=5-7 hours on screen time for my current configuration

Sure, one can get more configurable ROMs but I have found they all lead eventually (ime) to lags and crashes.

Been running mine in the car for 5 years now, it is starting to slow down though. But, for something that was likely operated well outside of what ASUS originally intended, for as long as it has, I am very happy overall. Running Timur's ROM in the car, I think it is something like Android 4.4 but to be honest I have not looked in so long I have no real clue. Actively trying to figure out what to replace it with when it eventually becomes unusable in the car, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 that I had hoped to use, but lacking USB host (without what appears to be a $40 adapter with a 50/50 success rate) and testing playing music through the same set up as the Nexus it acted like a CD skipping.

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 with purenexus 6.0.1., Bluetooth 4 with BLE enabled [I checked] , but the coffee machine I want to control with it connects and constantly drops out after a few seconds in a continuous cycle. My question is whether bluetooth 4 ble support is a kernel issue or a rom issue. Is there a therefore, a rom or kernel I could flash that will work well with bluetooth 4 BLE?

System filesystem makes no difference since it is read only, might effect optimization time if on an odexed rom.
[Nexus 7 General] lee.wp14:
Might be, but for 5.x and above ROM installation uses patching method, thus it is totally pointless to format /system as f2fs because all ROM zip's system image are in ext4 by default. Upon flashing ROM /system will be converted to ext4 again. its just like linux's dd command.

To use f2fs, should use on /data and /cache instead.
