ROM INFO

This is unofficial source-built DotOS for Nexus 7 2012 (grouper).

....

Yes, just simple as that. Get ready to #AlignTheDots !

ROM FEATURES

C'mon, you should discover it yourself! Flash it and play with your buddy! :D

ROM BUGS

- Camera : Shots are pixelated
- Gallery : Thumbnails' color is sort of like gone haywire :3 (tbc)

ROM INSTALLATION

*NEW USERS: Unlock bootloader and flash latest TWRP using fastboot

1. Boot into TWRP (Power + Volume Down > Select Recovery Mode)

2. If clean flash, wipe /data, /cache, /system

3. If you'd like to have f2fs, format /data (your internal SD content will be lost!) and /cache to f2fs.

4. Proceed into flashing ROM (install ZIP or sideload)

5. Proceed into flashing other ZIPs if any.

6. Reboot system. First boot takes about 10-15 minutes. Be patient :)
​

SIDE NOTES

- If you were to install GAPPS, well... I did say that you'll have to figure it out on your own.

- Builds are rootless, you have the option to install Magisk on your own.

- Builds are not tested on Nexus 7 2012 3G variant. I doubt if they work anyway.

- Signature Spoofing support is yet to be added :3

[Nexus 7 Android Development] biondi53:
nice to see new roms to test, donwloading now!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TureX:
Nice rom, but without play store Is useless. Secure patch are old, i Hope you Will update. For play store i tried to install with magisk,with open gapps (gapps-config) and manual but nothing. Dt2w work , battery Life is good(i would to try with store).anyway thanks for keep alive this old Beast.

Rom doesn't keep app permission (i Always give storage permission to kiwi browser for download apks)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lee.wp14:
I will look into that soon.

I have quite a number of stuffs coming up these weeks, thus will put this aside first.

For GAPPS, I still yet to try install GAPPS, thus I wrote that you guys are to figure it out on your own :D . But as a tip for you, previously when I'm using RR Nougat, I removed a lot of foreign fonts, TTS files, sound media files, and was able to get pico opengapps installed successfully (I didn't use gapps-config anyway).

As a suggestion, you can also try to have the GMSCore installed as user app (in /data partition). During the days when I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace, we used to have the GMSCore installed on /data.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lee.wp14:
[MENTION=3777227]TureX[/MENTION] I can't reproduce your problem regarding app permissions. Can you reconfirm this? I've tried Kiwi Browser from Play Store too.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TureX:
Hi, thanks for your reply. Now i can't reproduce cause i format the tablet, maybe was corrupted my installation that cause that issue. Sorry for my bad English.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Development discontinued

Was quite busy lately, didn't even have time to relax browsing on the nexus.

Few days ago left my Nexus 7 aside in my book rack after fully charged. That time I have personal modified gapps installation installed.

Not sure if is my gapps configuration is not proper, it caused the tablet to overheat. I just noticed it when back home from work at night. So literally GMSCore is using my cpu for the whole day (surprisingly not wakelocking). Whole tablet hot as f*.

Left it charge, the next day after unplugged, using it for few minutes, then sudden blank. Cannot even charge. Total dead.

Suddenly yesterday it boots, but has symptoms of emmc failure (as I recall it now). That time not sure what happened, not even have time to look on it.

Today finally back home early, can check on it. Factory reset 2 times all sudden reboot when wipe. Highly confident is emmc failure. Try flash stock, write failed when flashing bootloader. Baam, Nexus 7 is total dead again.

Will try to reheat the chip and see if it revives, as the overheating seems to be the culprit. If not, then it's an end for Nexus 7's DotOS :| so sad :crying:

Thanks guys. Development will be halted for the time being.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JT1510365:
Dude if its the motherboard that is broken I can send you another one free of charge if you live in the united states because I have 5 of them:)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lee.wp14:
Wow, that's quite a lot of them! But thanks, I've decided to continue building for Samsung Note 1 only. As I rarely use my Nexus 7 (in fact I didn't bought it but I get it free from someone).

Thanks for your kind offer anyway!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Sam Nakamura:
Switching motherboards takes like 5 minutes and is a simple task! Just saying because 6 month ago when mine broke due to the emmc bug and I paid around 25 Euros for another one (even was a 32GB from Hynix)...

So think twice about this offering!

Sorry for off topic discussion and have a great day!

How to install custom rom on mi a1 after pie stable update?

is there any permanent recovery available for pie?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashwinrg:
Find a custom rom for your device. Root device first and flash custom recovery and flash custom rom from the recovery. Just google here or somewhere for the dedicated flashing process for your device.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] updatetab:
I have tried to use ALL the current 'recovery'? files etc, I can find on the XDA site to root this device. (Input into the PDA button on Odin). Either the links no longer work or the files themselves don't'. (Posssibly because they were uploaded a few years ago as device is old?) I have also searched online on other sites and it is the same result. I am 'obviously' a bit of a dummy where this is concerned however successfully rooted my phone as I was able to download a working file from youtube. Unfortunately no such luck for the Galaxy 10.1 Gt-p7500 tablet. HELP! Can anyone upload a working file please?

Or is silver really available for EVR-L29?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
Available in silver right here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Huawei-Mat...cdecb9854:m:mbmVlXzSrP9-WyZWmeS0z2w:rk:1:pf:0

I just bought a blue from him. I've purchased a mate 8, p9 and p9 pro from this seller before. I debated hard on buying silver but for every picture I saw where it looked silver, I saw two more where it looked too purple.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
Yeap, that's the one I was going to buy but I was certain only blue is available for EVR-L29. All the other sellers online (ebay, amazon, wondamobil, etc...) only do EVR-L29 in blue. He's the only one doing silver. Interesting.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] casinca:
Got it in silver bought it from mobyshop Singapore they have international shipping methods.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] joselb:
Could you put a picture of the silver i look online but it's always d stock photo, nobody even shows the silver one in reviews
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] casinca:
Ye you often see the blue one or china version in silver, there are some reviews from South Asian regions youtubers where you can sometimes see a view of it.

Not really good at photos and still have the back film on the phone but you can get an idea :

found a video with good enough quality to get a view of the color : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZXmQ5nxz3U
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] baskinrobbin:
I’ve never seen it in any color but blue from a legitimate site
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
Exactly my thoughts
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It depends on the region it's sold in. I know in Malaysia it's sold in both blue and silver, while in Hong Kong it's in blue only.

Silver does exist, it's just more rare.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I'm referring to EVR-L29, the global model.

Not EVR-AL00 the mainland China model. EVR-AL00 comes in more configurations. Silver, blue, 128G, 256G.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Rebranding a Chinese Mate 20 series phone isn't possible. They will probably add play store, but that's the extent of what they can do.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] nccu_eagles:
who cares about the color? I assume you will throw a case on it anyway... ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It's not. Trust me. My full time job is reverse-engineering Huawei devices.

Many of the Chinese resellers who rebrand phones are my customers.

If someone tells you it is, they're mistaken. They're either scamming you, or they don't realize the changes in oeminfo for the Kirin 980 generation of phones. The oeminfo is encrypted/signed for each individual device, and modifying the regional branding isn't possible. Having a fully rebranded device isn't possible. Nobody has developed a way to do it, and sadly, it's looking unlikely to be able to fully rebrand the phone.

I'm only telling you to help you not get scammed. I'll be very impressed if you prove me wrong.

Do you have such a device in-hand? A screenshot of the About Phone screen?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It's not an issue of being able to write to the memory of the phone. Anyone can do this with an unlocked bootloader. The issue is the regional branding of the phone, and the inability to change it from all/cn to something else due to device-specific signing/encryption.

It's fine if you don't believe me, but I think you will be disappointed with what happens if you trust they can do it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It seems that you have been very, very badly misinformed about both Huawei's production process and the relevancy of region/branding. Still, I'm very interested to see what the reseller ends up doing, so please let us know.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] baskinrobbin:
I did a quick search for EVR-L29 Malaysia and did come up with a midnight blue or phantom silver for sale on Expansys.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] casinca:
Ye Malaysia and Singapore are the only known regions that i know of which have both color EVR-L29, I'm not sure about 3rd party sellers, if it's true or not but since i bought it from an official seller/store, i have the phone and it's legit EVR-L29 phantom silver but not sure about the others. You're also covered with the 2 years Huawei warranty + mpen and smart cover free (maybe a limited time offer).

Most EVR-L29 from resellers are coming from HK supply and HK only have Blue for now in global version, that's why you see most of the time Blue ones.

With magisk installed also!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACHILLES R32:
The Xbox one Bluetooth controller works flawlessly have one paired on my shield . Otherwise you may have to get some sort of dongle for the non Bluetooth version.

And to answer your question wallpaper change is not possible on the shield. At least on a non rooted one.

Try a different launcher possibly, HAL launcher seems to be very customizable

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
If you've used 2 (or all 3!) of these roms would you mind giving me your brief thoughts on how they compared with one another? I have been using dutty's apr 09 for a few weeks. I love it but need to reflash as it is crashing. I am about to switch to either dutty's apr 27 (once he gets the office mobile kinks worked out) or go to the Hybrid or apr 16 rom since both of those have been receiving great reviews.

However, no one really compares or contrasts his roms. So I am creating this thread to try and get a feel for what the major differences are between those three roms. I have read what is listed on the change logs, but I am talking more about real world every day differences. thank you so much to whoever answers!!

This saves me roughly 24 hours per rom tinkering and figuring out all the quirks myself! thanks 1,000,000!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] JimmyMcGee:
Sir, Half the Fun Is Trying it for yourself. Different people have different feelings on the same ROM so the only person you can listen to is yourself. Plus I kind of feel like I'd be Spoon Feeding you. Not quite in the Spirit of a Developers Forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
It would, however, be in the spirit of being decent to our fellow humankind :) I'm not asking for the stuff thats already been hashed out in the threads, as I have read them all... simply asking if anyone has thoughts about those small idiosyncrasies that can only be identified after thorough use. for instance, which rom "feels" faster, does dutty's apr 16 dialer really make that much a difference between the hybrid dialer...etc.

as much as love dutty's work and using his roms, i honestly don't feel like spending 24 to 48 hours per rom trying to figure out what someone else could easily type in just 90 seconds! not to mention, some people actually enjoy expressing their opinions... heck, that's half of all forum posts!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] f1ip:
well, if the april 9 rls is crashing, why dont you try the april 16 rls.

I dont see as much issues on that as the 2 new ones.

I'm still using april 9 rls and it works fine for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] JimmyMcGee:
No harm meant my friend. I am still using Apr 9 and my friend Flashed to Apr 16th. I love the Dialer in the 9th has the Call Histroy Right there and all. Seems that the small indosyncrasies 9 Would be the one I would use.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SH4YD33:
I suggest trying the Hybrid 24mb page pool found in my signature.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SH4YD33:
Double post..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SouthernLuke:
I had dialer issues with 4/9, went to 4/16, didn't like the dialer, so installed HTC dialer.

No other significant issues for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xboomer55:
I have tried the 4/9, 4/16 and 4/26 6.1 ROMs from Dutty. 4/9 and 4/16 were based on WM6.1 5.2.19209. 4/16 was a version with fixes to the 4/9 release. Dutty then released a build based on 5.2.400 on 4/26. He has now dropped this version and is going back and optimizing the 4/16 version based on 5.2.19209. Look for his post today about his 5.2.19209 V2 ([Apr 27]Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19209 V2 Release).

I have not tried the Hybrid and don't plan to so I can't comment. The 4/16 is fast and relativley stable for me at the moment. I will leave one Tilt there for now and put the latest AT&T 6.1 "test" with an alternate radio on my second tilt to get a feel for a (near) commercial ROM.

Dutty is a wild man. If you want to go for a ride, I'd recommend the V2 he is now working and would hazard a guess that it is as good as the 4/16 version with more fixes. This is where he is putting his energy and talent...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
haha bragging about two tilts, nice! i actually LOVED the apr 09 release and am considering flashing back to it unless people that tried the hybrid and apr 09 convince me otherwise. some people really swear by the hybrid but i'm not sure how many of them have tried the apr 09 rom!!

I love the apr 09 dialer. what did you guys think as far as page pool sizes? What was your fav?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mikeymc:
april 9th vs hybrid

these 2 are what i'm debating on. i like them both. can't really compare them since neither is far superior to the other i don't think. but i like the option of having 3 different pp for the april 9th version. right now i'm waiting on the april 27th and see how that'll improve. i'm using the april 16th right now, but personally i don't like this dialer very much, and sometimes i'm having wifi issues for no apparent reasons.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
I as well loved his 4/9 release. I got bored and tested someone elses v4 rom but it wasn't cutting it. I am now using 4/16 release. I like it a lot and have not had any issuses with it.

However, I wish when an incoming call I could hit the silence button that the april 9th release has.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
what does apr 16 have instead of silence? which rom did you like more then, apr 9 or 16? apr 16 had a midlet manager right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
I dont like the apr 16 dialer much at all, very ugly i think. doesn't match the rest of the OS. What were the improvements on the apr 16 one other than the supposed dialer improvement and midlet manager? I am anxious to see how apr 27 rom turns out when he is done. I want to know why everyone says hybrid is so good though!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
the april 16th dialer does look a little out of place. However, it is the most accurate and quickest dialer i have used. During incoming calls my default left soft key remains, which is the action screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
most accurate in what respect?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
overall i think 4/9 was my favorite. However, gps works much better with april 16th. But that could be because i didn't have gpsrouter cab installed with 4/9
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
i noticed with some of the dialers if i hit a button it either doesn't respond well or the wrong number appears.But 4/16 hasn't had this issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
whoa, my apr 09 version SUCKS for gps unless i run quickGPS. it can literally take 10 minutes to get a fix without quickGPS and ive tried a ton of radios. I had no idea this had to with a gpsrouter... i thought that was for more than one application using the GPS at once, or using your phone as a GPS device for 3rd party hardware. No?

Also, i didn't think the rom factored into the GPS performance, only the radio?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mikeymc:
despite the "ugliness" this dialer (april 16th) seems to be the most accurate and also work the best. i mean when i'm pressing the buttons on the dial pad, it always shows the correct numbers.

unlike what redbandana says, in CA gps in april 16th version doesn't get a very quick fix, although it could just be the radio issue. but i've been using the same radio for months now, so i still think it's the rom. the difference is minimal. i'm talking maybe a couple of minutes at the most
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
correct. However, I am using the same radio that i used with 4/9 and i am getting a much better response with 4/16. I get a fix in less than 30 seconds sometimes.

If i am running tomtom here is my operation:

1)download quickgps

2) open gpsrouter and enable 4 baud 4800

3) open gpstest

4) open tomtom

before I had gpsrouter I would sometimes never get a fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dockular:
Hmmm... what exactly does gps router do?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] redbandana:
The only thing i can see that it does is open up your gps system. However, ever since i've used the application gps has been working like a charm.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] derylmccarty:
Interesting....I have been using the april 9 ROM for the past 3 weeks or so, and today I woke up my Tilt with a normal ON and, poof, four color screen that would not change no matter soft, hard or battery-removal reset. After that unfortunate crash, 2700 miles from home and from a high speed connection (of course), I went slow speed and dooowwwnnnnloadddded the 19400 version. I flashed new ROM, noncube, and it took ... whew. I am using it joyfully. I now see that the 19400 version is deleted and unsupported (without expanation). My plan is to continue to use the 19400 until I have troubles, in which case I will download and install apr 16 or a new 19400 version is released. I have tried schaps and one other but am happiest with dutty's stuff -as is my Tilt. Though I do admit that I heavily modify with SPB products, mostly because I am into pastel and bright colors not the more popular darks. After 8 hours of use, 19400 is still dead steady stable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Poetique:
In all honesty the last dutty rom I thoroughly enjoyed was the Apr. 1 Hybrid release. It's just that it's missing several things that I enjoy having in the Apr. 16 release. If it weren't for that, I'd still be using it.

But as far as quickness and stability goes, I still prefer the Apr. 1 Hybrid.
