Thanks for the rom!

Didn't expect to find something this recent for a 2012 device.

My wife wanted a simple "e-reader" with office and web browsing capabilities.

We had bought the Nexus 7 in the past but it became more and more unusable (with stock rom) - I suspect it was because of consecutive Google services updates....

I installed the rom but not the gapps package and it's super snappy!

Using a couple of old / lite apps - just sad the built-in file browser in Repligo Reader isn't working (happens in newer Android versions... never found a workaround) but OfficeSuitePro 8.8 (old version) is also fast and lite.

Naked Browser, Ghost Commander are perfect apps for the old Nexus 7 - very capable and lite.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maxpowell407:
Hi, Thanks for the ROM! does this rom support otg-usb and charging? I want to connect some usb sticks in my nexus 7 2012. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] user602:
I tested this for you. While connected to a 2.0A charger and an OTG y-cable, I was able to charge the tablet while keeping the screen on and playing mp3 music directly from a USB stick. (y)

I am trying to install Gapps Pico with gapps-config-grouper.txt, as copied below. Keep getting error code 70 insufficient space.

I also tried to add GoogleTTS at the end of line, calculation report showing the install is trying to install the GoogleTTS, so I removed it.

Can anyone help me?

"Gapps: http://opengapps.org (use @aaopt config for install, just put it next to the OpenGapps package) https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=12420606652095399880 "

Downloaded "open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20210128" also tried "open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20210128" copied to the same location "gapps-config-grouper.txt" , but still get Error 70 :/

any clue what else to do?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] whiteforte:
Nothing worked for me, so I installed the alternative gapps included in the main post, worked perfectly https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261791094
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cerocepe:
Thank you very much @ud4 best rom i tried since years. I works all very well but i have a doubt. There is a way to activate voice match for talk with assistant? In google config appears like bloqued in grey and i can't toggle it on. I wonder if i can use it as a google nest assistant. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bgking:
Unfortunately it doesn work for me. Giving me same error code 70.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nCoV:
Great ROM, thanks. I have only one question (except non-installing gapps of any version, pico or beangapps posted here). Is it possible to overclock CPU and GPU? Does kernel support it? Or if not, than what kernel should I get to do it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ud4:
New March build is available!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HunterZ0:
I've been out of the loop for a while... What selections do I need to make to get the correct gapps for this device+ROM?

Edit: This site says to use ARM 7.1 pico. Please let me know if this is incorrect: https://medium.com/@jacob.swanson.n/flashing-lineageos-14-1-to-a-nexus-7-2012-8eac9503b585
[Nexus 7 Android Development] user602:
That is correct (but you will need a config file as stated in OP). You can also use BeansGapps linked in the OP, without needing a config file.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HunterZ0:
The provided gapps-config is useless with this system ROM - it says I'm over 40MB short on system storage. I'll try the beans thing tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] endymion00:
Hey @ud4,

It is a great ROM. Thank you very much!

I just also wanted to tell you that I found 2 issues:

-Camera app is partially broken:

* In camera mode: after a photo is taken the photo preview remains on screen so you can't see what the camera is seeing anymore (only solution is to change the mode and selecting again "camera mode".

* In video mode after a video is recorded, the thumbnail of the video is showing incorrect colors (the lower zone is created using a green color).

* When selecting landscape mode the image is flipped upside down.

* Filter effects do not work (when selected nothing happens)

Workaround: install a third party camera (but some have a bit slow startup)

-Screen is turned off when using youtube:

* When using youtube sometimes the screen goes black but video keeps playing (so you must to press on/off button in order to see the screen again -and the video stops at that moment-). It does not happen all the time so it is not critical

As a side note and maybe related to this: after installing the ROM I got 2 times error report notifications which appeared just after the screen turn off issue (but have not seen them anymore although the screen is being turned off from time to time).

Update 1:

ROM tested: lineage-14.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-grouper.zip

Update 2:

Camera issues still present using ROM lineage-14.1-20210313-UNOFFICIAL-grouper.zip

Update 3:

Got 2 error reports when using the lasted ROM (20210313).

The tablet was running youtube and the screen turned off or blocked (not sure) After unblocking the tablet showed new notifications about error reports.

Again this does not happen frequently (maybe it happens one time some time later after installing a new ROM?)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] endymion00:
Based on usage after 2 weeks on a daily basis here are my recommendations.

I hope you find this helpful.

-If search bar is needed: "Google" app is too slow. Google Go works better but it is still a bit slow in showing websites after tapping links. Maybe not usable, too much time waiting when opening links.

Google Go seems to have a decent performance .

-Browser: default browser in ROM is a bit slow.

After testing several browsers I think the best performant is Opera and also Firefox Focus (for private browsing).

Opera Lite didn't work, it crashed.

Other browsers tested: Brave, Firefox, Chrome.

ROM tested: lineage-14.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-grouper.zip

lineage-14.1-20210313-UNOFFICIAL-grouper

Updated:

Added/Fixed new info about lastest ROM (20210313)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HunterZ0:
Update: BeansGapps seems to be working.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] federico72:
A kernel with overclock enabled will help for sure, mine is still sluggish even with this rom but I must admit is way better than the stock one... Thanks and kudos @ud4 !!!

The only rom that was performing well enough for me was the 4.4.4.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] MaTThi9u:
Thank you, my nexus 7 2012 revive ... If I can help explain me ...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Glimmerman911:
This is my first ROM, so far so good thank you!

How do I install apps not in the Google Play Store, such as Netflix and Microsoft Teams?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jhoshua36:
Hello every one, I put this rom in my nexus 7 without gaaps and it works very good, the only problem was that the gps dont work, then I wipe all and put the same rom with gaaps, and the gps works, but is more slow, ¿there is a fix that solve that or I have to use gaaps?, thanks every one
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
BeanGapps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jhoshua36:
Thank you for the comment, that was the gaaps posted here that I installed, and with that versión my nexus turn slow in comparasion without it, without beangaaps my nexus is more fast, and can open two apps like spotify and Google maps without lags (i use it in my car) but the gps dont work (it cant find my location), and with beangaaps the gps works, but it turn laggy, thank you very much
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
There was A-gapps which is a small package but is long ago deprecated.

If you can find those, you can try them.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] endymion00:
@ud4, I researched about the error I got (error reports were generated) and it seems that webview implementation is buggy.

I think the problem happens randomly when using youtube. In the logs I found the following message: "WARNING: tile memory limits exceeded, some content may not draw".

The solution is to not use the webview implementation that comes in the ROM.

I performed the following procedure and it seems that solves the issue.

1. Download Google Chrome (as I read it includes a webview implementation since recent versions) or download Android System Webview in the app store.

2. Head to developer settings and change Webview implementation from "AOSP Webview" to the new implementation name (name could be "Google WebView" or other).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lucky127:
Great ROM. My old nexus tab is now usable again. Thanks @ud4
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Jeivch:
i get error 7 all time :( i try various twrp but not work
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cybernetus:
Thanks for this ROM. My Nexus 7 is usable again :-)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rhian:
I got my old Nexus 7 (2012) out of the drawer, it had still LineageOS from January 2018 on it. It worked fine though I really didn't have any need to move to a recent version (other than potential security patches).

I wanted to wipe it clean and this version is pretty much based off that and as expected it ran the same. Thank you for your efforts to keep our old devices patched!

It may be a slow tablet by current standards, but it's still very useful.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] erickirei:
So every link that it's provided in this post seems to be down, it gives me a "no mirror found" error, could anyone please provide a working mirror to the ROM?.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] elbenditu:
The ROM works like charm. Thanks for keeping this old device very much alive and far from the e-waste dump.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Kimax89:
I have 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to overclock the tablet with this kernel?

I've try'ed to overclock it, but cant get past 1300 MHz. The best i could do was changing the governor to Performance.

2. Is it possible to optimize the boot time?

it boots on power, but the boot time is quite long.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Anarpi:
Installed the latest 03/13/2021 version, device feels snappy and great to use again, but i have this battery drain issue where "Cell Standby" keeps draining the battery even if i use airplane mode, on my Acer A510 you turn on the airplane mode and the tablet on stand by keeps on going for over a month, Nexus 7 with this rom in stand by dies in 2 days
[Nexus 7 Android Development] killeriq:
Probably you need this

INSTRUCTION:
copy pmf.sh on /sdcard
boot in twrp
Open a terminal and type adb shell
type this commands :
cd /sdcard
chmod +x pmf.sh
sh pmf.sh
reboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] theonlyandy:
Thanks so much for the ROM!

I just re-tried after 1½ years and it worked fine. I added the provided gapps-config file in the gapps ZIP, but it didn't succeed. In the logs there was a section for user config, which was empty. It seems these rules were not even applied?

Anyway, it worked with the BeansGapps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 00p513:
The Nexus 7 uses a non standard method of partitioning, that cannot be easily read or modified. Sorry :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DarkN3ss61:
I was not able to install gapps as the system partition was too small. Is what do I need to do to expand the system partition so I can install gapps?

Ignore me. I needed to use the gapps provided
[Nexus 7 Android Development] colt2x:
Thanks for this ROM! Works like a charm :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] greyman1956:
Thanks for maintaining this ROM. I have revived my old Nexus 7 which I thought was destined for the scrap heap. It now seems faster than when it was new.

But note: I did not put GAPPS on there. When I had GAPPS on it, it was a bit slow for my liking, especially when switching on WiFi.

Instead I used f-droid, UnifiedNLP for location, K-9 for email (which I love), Aurora store (for PlayStore access), FreeOTP+ for authenticator apps, OsmAnd+ for maps, and a few others. I don't even notice the speed difference with WiFi on.

And I also notice that the battery life is excellent with WiFi left on. Great work!!!

Hi,

First : Thanks a lot for your work

Second : I have a problem (November build) : The wifi disconnect / reconnect like each 30s

In fact, the internet speed goes down to 0 before disconenct / reconnect
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Snype32:
I asked a similar question in a different thread, so my apologies. I am wondering if 14.1 is the latest lineage os my nexus 7 2012 can run. I found a guide online that claimed the 2012 version could run 17.1, but I would like to confirm. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nexus7user23452346:
It can run android 8.1 (lineage os 15.1) somewhat well, but android 7 (lineage os 14.1) runs the best.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] VnaOynxryrl:
Was about to recycle my Nexus 7 when I stumbled across this. Thanks. First time without GAPPS, think I chose wrong one and it recovered in maybe 10 minutes. Added the bean GAPPS just seemed to hang so went back and did from the beginning again. Now around 1 hour and still booting up. How long to wait ?

EDIT

Wiped everything so completely empty. Flashed again, working after about 7 minutes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] spoonweg:
Thank you for your work !

But, im stuck in a Bootloop.

I did as descriped, installed Twrp,

Wipe Data,

installed Rom Version "lineage-14.1-20211120-UNOFFICIAL-grouper",

installed "BeansGappsV2-N7-Mini-7.1.2-20190428"

rebooted.

Now i just see a moving blue circle on a blue line, as i read first boot can take up to 15 minutes i waited for 1 hour.

No change, just moving circle etc.

Before installing i checked my Asus Nexus 7 if it is the 2012 Wifi Version, it is.

I checked before another Rom from here, that worked but i was not happy and try out this now.

Any ideas how i can get out of the Bootloop ?

Thank you and stay healthy :)

edit 1:

i try what VnaOynxryrl posted above me, wiped everything and installed now only "lineage-14.1-20211120-UNOFFICIAL-grouper" and the older version linked in 1 post "lineage-14.1-20210313-UNOFFICIAL-grouper"

same result, only moving blue circle on the blue line...i will now wait another hour in hope it worked.

edit 2:

solved by using older version "twrp-3.3.1-0-grouper.img"

but this BeansGapp do not work as i get soon after booting the error that google aps crashed....

edit 3:

i wanted to use the nexus 7 for my drone, but this Rom has a video problem/bug.

im using "fimi navi mini" apk (minimum android 5.1) and now there is no video video from the drone, just a black screen were normaly is a video feed. to bad, i need to use my cellphone and was in hope to use the bigger nexus 7 screen :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Encryptech:
Thanks for providing the ROM and updated.

I just brought my 2012 Nexus (Grouper) to life with this :)

I'm also having the same problem as others with continually dropping WiFi ... is there any fix for this?

Tried AOSP's rom on a clean install for my Wifi nexus 7 2012 and it wouldn't install right. However LineageOS installed flawlessly and everything works. This rom is snappy and works great!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gwanbear:
Out of interest, I flashed the March 2021 build of this ROM and I'm impressed. Nice work, kudos (y) My Nexus had been running microg AOSP for years, a little sluggish but acceptable. I flashed the BeansGapps with this ROM (for the Google experience) and it's performance is good. It took a while for everything to flash, install, configure and settle (patience is needed) but it's been a worthwhile journey. I've had to load some old versions of apps but not a problem in reality.

The one problem I have is location (as reported previously by @jhoshua36) Location finding is not working, any app needing exact location (maps, weather apps, etc) doesn't function fully. Location was slow to find initially under AOSP but was ok once initially established. I had used the GPS Test app previously to clear and update AGPS and that was fine, but it's not working with this ROM. No satellites are found i matter how long I leave it. Any suggestions/fixes??

Edit: it appears to be related to WiFi. If I turn WiFi off then I'm getting a GPS fix, and if I'm outside (good clear sky today) then the fix is almost instantaneous.

Am I ok to take the OTA update to 10.0.3? I have Magisk 20401 installed and am using Systemless Hosts and MagiskHide Props Config. I'm not using TWRP. I remember a while back you had to completely disable all Magisk modules before taking the OTA? I'm using the unlocked version on Verizion from the OnePlus Store. Is this still the case? Is there still a guide floating around to take the OTA? If I remember correctly you had to take the OTA and then NOT reboot - but then install Magisk(After OTA option) THEN reboot? Is this correct?

[Windows Mobile Themes] TheChampJT:
Here is my first skin for iContact, currently in v0.76 by supbro. As you see below, it has the icons, and different font color to match. I used an all black background for the main list and the grid.

To use the theme, simply unzip the three files, which are the skin graphics, settings file, and the skin settings file. Move them to "\Program Files\iContact", or wherever yours is installed. The only file this will change is your settings file. I have it set to this theme (so the original will not be overwritten), exit on action, exit on tap (instead of minimize), and the "speed" option is on.

Enjoy!

Thanks! For some reason I decided to give my Touch the Vista overhaul, even though Vista is the worst thing I've ever used! I've created a matching skin set to match this, it's mainly based off of the WAD2 theme. But not sure if it should be posted, since M$ had the WAD2 theme removed.

I ignored the warnings... I know, idiot.

But I went ahead and it completed.

But now the phone has a black screen and nothing else.

When plugged in, my computer recognises it as Qualcomm 9800 port 30.

Still nothing on screen though.

Anyway to get it back? Or get it to stock rom? Really don't want tmobile bloat all over it if possible.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NGOwner:
Your only hope would be to get someone who has a T-Mobile v40 to dump all partitions from their phone, and make those partitions available to you.

You would then use 9008 mode to upload partition after partition to your phone. And I'm not even sure that would work.

What is it about the T-Mobile version that makes it so different to the others.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] shawnmos:
From what I have seen on some other posts is that can cause the IMEI to return as 0. It may only be if you overwrite the modem partition though, so don't do that. You may only need the T-Mobile bootloader.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] antintin:
It's not the modem partition, it's the ftm (and maybe some others too)
