Q Native Linux Installer

If I use the native Linux installer to put Ubuntu on my new n7 will i lose android permanently or can I revert back to android if I don't like it?

You can revert back. It's explained on their site (Ubuntu's Wiki for the Nexus 7 Installer).

I don't see why not. I'd backup your ROM, then copy your backup to your computer (or entire internal sd), install Ubuntu for N7. To revert, reflash factory images and re-root, flash recovery, wipe and restore backup.
I'm not sure if it wipes out your recovery or not, I am assuming it does.

Sounds like a plan thanks for the help.

Looks like fun running this install. I'll let you know how it goes. Seems the Linux is a little buggy with the n7. I'm interested in how cinnamon will run

Stock rom rooted issues

Hey guys I have recently rooted my Nexus 4 and left the stock rom on it. Now a few days later I am experiencing issues mainly with apps that change settings, like juicedefender or a cpu speed app.
I have done some research and according to juicedefender error log it shows I need to have busybox or I should have CyanogenMod.
Ok i hav 3 questions
1. Will installing busy box cause me to lose any data?
2. I know installing CyanogenMod ROM will clear all my data is there a way for me to backup need for speed and bad piggies?
3. Is there a way for me to keep my stock rom and fix these problems?

Since you're rooted all you need to do for backups is download Titanium Backup and use that to keep all of your data.

Alright im a noob at all this any idea if i should get cm nightly, stable or whatever version ? And if i go with release candidate can i change it to nightly in the future?

You will probably want to start with a stable release before jumping into a nightly. Nightly build aren't really known for stability.

To update cm all you need to do is download new rom, boot to recovery, flash rom and gapps, wipe cache, reboot. Of course this only applies if the rom base hasn't changed, which is infrequent.

If you are going to flash cm for the first time a wipe is required. Usually wipes aren't required when flashing a newer version of a Rom.
But will it wipe data automatically? No. Wiping data is an option you have to confirm in recovery.
Is that what you are asking?

Thanks thanks i will be flashing cm soon, thx so much yall. Sent a donation to mskip for making it so easy to do all this.

Official CM10.2 nightlies

Just wanted to get the word out to everybody that cyanogen is now building official nightly builds for our device. Just head over to get.cm and grab one of the builds for our device, flo.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'll probably be installing this as soon as my tablet gets in, seeing how well my phone (d2can; running d2att) has been taking CM10.2. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Sweet. Thanks for letting us know. I'm flashing it right now =)

Is a full wipe required, coming from 10.1?

Just installed and it appears that the ROM doesn't think I've got root access, I can't even do anything that requires root. When I go and restore my backup of cleanrom 1.3 I've got root access again

Is anyone else having trouble restoring with Titanium Backup? I can't for the life of me get backups from non-CM to restore when I flash CM.

No official thread in the Original Development forum?

I believe its because an official maintainer hasn't been selected yet, or at least they haven't announced one yet.

You have to move your tiBU folder onto legacy/ from 0/
Look at my screenshot. Go to Preferences and set your backup folder to this location... Minus the /!Ready2Flash/TitaniumBackup part. That's my personal folder location.

Wrong section. Think you took a wrong turn at Mako and went past Grouper, straight to Flo.

Missing progress

Hi everyone. Dunno if anyone else has the same problem, but i took a quick look and didn't find anything so I'll just go on. I have a nexus 4 running rasbean jelly 4.2.2. Rom with Matr1x kernel and for some time now i have a problem, mainly after rebooting my phone. Most applications that track progress like games and their saves , chrome and its tabs, etc start like it's the first time running them. Any idea what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance.

how much internal storage space do you have left? are you using any root apps that clear data?

I have 3.5 gb left internal storage and i have clean master installed but haven't used it for months.

uninstall it. dirty flash your build of rasbean(and gapps) without wiping anything. i think this will take care of your issue.

Isn't dirty flash dangerous?
I thought maybe upgrade into 4.3 but not sure if worth the trouble.

dirty flashing isnt dangerous. its the only way i flash(just make a nandroid backup just in case)! i even dirty flashed rasbean 4.3 over rasbean 4.2.2 when rasbean 4.3 just hit. but yea, it might be time to upgrade to 4.3 too
when updating the same rom, dirty flash. when trying a new different rom, then wipe data.

Ok i think I'll try this and hopefully problem will be solved too. Thanks for help mate.

I don't know about the app you mentioned, but there were a couple of apps in the N4 Apps & Themes forum which did this - but it seems they work for 4.3 only.
As mentioned, there are apps which work via Exposed framework which will do what you are looking for (though bear in mind Exposed needs the Dalvik not Art, runtime).
Another good option is to try some ROMs - most of the popular ones have extensive UI customisation, such as battery, clock, navigation bar (the one at the bottom).
Download a ROM and its Gapps (eg AICP ROM and its Gapps, which I use and I can recommend, it's a good place to start)
Reboot into recovery.
Backup your current ROM (creates an image you can restore if you don't like the new ROM)
Wipe: data/system/cache/dalvik. NOT internal storage
Install the ROM and its Gapps
Reboot and begin to setup your phone
If you have Titanium Backup Pro or similar, you can restore all your user apps and data to the new ROM. Generally not recommended to restore system apps or data.
It may sound like a lot of effort to get a battery icon, but you also get a better ROM (faster, better battery and highly customisable UI). With the backup you took, if you don't like your new ROM, all you need to do is:
Go into Recovery,
Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache
Restore the backup
Reboot
