Hello all, my first post here.
Recently jumped into the Nexus 7 game with both feet and bought first a 2012 Nexus 7 then almost immediately a 2013 Nexus 7. After playing with both a bit I opted to buy yet another Nexus 7 but my purchase of choice the 3rd time around was another 2012 Nexus 7.
While on paper the specs for the 2013 Nexus 7 are sweet and it is no doubt a fantastic tablet my needs seem to be more suited to the 2012 based on the following conditions, (which I'm aware could change with hacks and kernel updates).
First of all I have USBROM installed on both my 2012 Nexus 7's. It allows me to connect a DAC to my Nexus and also an OTG Y cable which I can simultaneously charge. I have found with the latest CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies for the 2013 Nexus 7 I can also connect a DAC but I cannot charge at the same time.
I use Logitech Media Server to stream music to my Nexus 7 and having a wonderful touch screen that won't go off during use is fantastic. It replaced a Raspberry Pi running Squeezeplug. More user friendly for the family but of course more expensive.
Another reason I'm a fan of the 2012 is because I can connect a USB 3G dongle to it using PPPWidget. I have an unlocked Huawei E303 and travel extensively. Being able to hook a dongle up to my Nexus will be invaluable when I'm working on some foreign runway with no wifi and not data roaming on my cell phone.
Nexus 7 flo seems to have kernel module loading disabled.
Anyway in my opinion the newer Nexus 7 is somewhat crippled compared to its older brother. That being said I use my 2013 Nexus 7 religiously and constantly as the others seem to have taken up duties as stereo sources at work and at home. However when I travel I leave the new Nexus 7 at home.
Anyway, just an observation and an introduction. As I said I'm aware one good kernel makes the older Nexus 7 almost obsolete but I'm living in the here and now.

There are custom kernels that have module loading enabled on the 2013 nexus.

Could you point me to one please. I have searched and been unable to find. I have tried ElementalX, franco, Bulletproof, among others.
Thanks,

Does the device with android 4.2 need to have a special chip set to do the new wireless HDMI out? Also what is this adapter that I need? I can't find very much information on this, seems like I'm the only one excited about this...

I would hold off on buying an adapter.It seems only the nexus 4 gets miracast from the 4.2 update.Maybe one day we will see it on the N7 but for now nobody has shown it working on anything.

Actually its been done using a Raspberry Pi
Hey guys,
has anybody experience with Miracast on the Nexus 10 or Android 4.2? I'm going to get an Adapter for my TV and I'm not sure how that works... haven't found any Miracast-related options in the settings app, and I don't know how the whole stuff with wifi is working (is the bandwidth of wifi high enough for that high resolution? How will the Nexus scale its 2650px down to the 1920 of my TV? ...).
Thanks
Currently nexus 10 is not miracast capable. Many people think it will be later, but since there might be bus bandwith issues i dont think it will.

Practical testing: Miracast with Nexus 10
There was quite of bit of discussion/speculation back on Nov-Dec on whether, how, and when Nexus 10 would support Miracast. I recently did some testing to support an app I'm developing, and wanted to: give an update on practical test results, and see if anyone has any further information (since none is forthcoming from google so far).
I tested Miracast links using Netgear's PTV3000 (Push2TV):
Samsung S3 - WORKS, after an upgrade to their latest PTV3000 firmware (v.2.2.9)
Google Nexus 10 - Does not work.
Google Galaxy Nexus - Does not work.
This is consistent with a recent posting on AndroidCentral ("Netgear PTV3000 gets a firmware update, now officially supports host of Android devices"). I'm interested in running on as many devices as possible, including the Nexus tablets and phones, but still can't find any information on plans and timing for Nexus 10, for example.
Anyone?
Hi,
while configuring my Nexus 4 I noticed the "Wireless Display" possibility and did a little research.
Are there already receivers to buy?
BTW: Does the nexus Q support this and can act as a receiver? I want to buy one anyways when it becomes available.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
Hello, as far as I know there are currently no receivers that can connect to the Nexus 4.
A lot of these devices that are out there (such as ones that support Intel's WiDi) can have their firmware upgraded and may eventually support the Nexus 4. After an update, my Nexus 4 is able to recognize my D-Link Mainstage but not connect to it. Intel WiDi 3.5 is supposed to be compatible with Miracast. Oh well, maybe I have to wait for 3.6
This was announced almost a year ago and has become such a clusterf**k, I'll be surprised if we ever see it (much like the Nexus Q, Nexus 7 dock, and Nexus 4 wireless charger, well... you get the idea). Thankfully, I don't have a need for it at this point. If I did, I'd have gone to an Apple device. Theirs has been working for years.
I found this about doing it with the Nexus 7, I'm wondering if its possible to do with the Nexus 10... from here:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/627459/use-a-standard-usb-dac-with-a-nexus-7-step-by-step-guide
Can anyone with technical knowledge of the devices tell me if the same process would allow me to do it with my Nexus10? I'm thinking of buying a decent setup, a FiiO E07K and some new headphones. I'm just wondering if the process would work on my version of the Nexus.
Wow lots of views but no comments

I was thinking about buying a remix ultra tablet, but before I buy, I wonder if I could flash remix OS on my nexus 7 2013 so that I would know what I'm getting into before spending $300 on a device built specifically for it? Has anyone tried doing this successfully? If so, how?
Sorry, I think this is the wrong forum, I don't know how to erase post though
Tablet?
If you have a look on their website, they have mostly used remix OS on computers. I wouldn't think there's much point to getting it on a tablet, you are better off getting a normal android tablet with marshmallow:laugh:!
Nexus 7 2013 has Marshmellow and works fine with it. Only thing you are getting is the RemixOS and a downgrade atm. I;d wait until they are further along with the development before even considering experimenting.
i have PhoenixOS with Google apps working on my nexus 7 2013 and i can say that now it's very very productive with PhoenixOS...
Try to believe..
It's no good that RemixOS don't release anything for a 7" inches tablet as Nexus 7..
I hope that soon they can release a build for nexus 7 2012 and 2013 (as phoenixOS)

Indeed. Honestly, I love PheonixOS on my Nexus 7, with my Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse it's great, would love RemixOS.
Can you explain how you got google apps working? I keep getting stuck at finishing boot whenever I flash opengapps of any size
