Hi guys, need some help here. I bought a BNIB Nexus 7 8GB off craigslist and it turns out it's some kind of pre-production/demo unit. It runs smooth and does exactly what I need it to do but there are some minor annoyances in the system and it'd be great if I can load a stock rom onto it. Does anyone know how I can update the SW so it'll be running stock rom? I've tried the "Flash Stock + Unroot" option in Nexus Root Toolkit but when the DOS menu pops up it just fails everything and gets stuck in fastbook. I had to do a hard reset to boot it back up and nothing changed. If someone can give me a hand here that would be wonderful.
Here's some info in "About Tablet":
Android Version: Jellybean
Kernel Version: 3.1.10-00002-gcb40deb (Dated May 8th)
Build Number: nakasif-userdebug JellyBean JRN38 349871 dev-keys
You got a dev ROM.
Flash stock nexus image and you're golden.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

Hello,
I am having problems getting Timur's kernal to install. I have rooted my nexus 7 first generation, and I have teamwin recovery v2.6.3.1 installed, and I have installed something so that when I go to settings/about tablet/ I see
Android version
4.2.2
Kernal version
3.1.10-gba06546-dirty
[email protected]#24
Build number
Jdq39
Where do I go from here? I have been fighting with this for a long time and I could sure use a hand figuring out the next step.
Hey guys I have not seen this in the Q&A section and I want to make sure I do it right.
I only recently rooted my Nexus 7, been running stock but decided I wanted to have Multi Windows like I have on my Note 4. I have not decided on a ROM as I was looking for the best one so I am still running Stock Rooted 5.0.2 I saw Omni ROM and I think that this would be the best ROM to attempt this as I tried the Xposed method and of course got the boot loop.
I see that currently on OmniROM.com that this device is still running on KK 4.4.4 according to the nightlies. I assume I would need to find a KK stock ROM and flash it on to my Nexus to downgrade back to KK in order to install this ROM, or will this install with TWRP even though I'm running Lollipop?
If so does someone have a quick link to the Stock KK files? I used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to root my device as I did not feel like going through the same hassel as when I rooted my Droid RAZR so I would just tell that to use those files instead.
I am always flashing ROMs on my Note 4 but I have never gone backwards and I think it was possible to install KK ROM once you upgrade to lolly but not use a lolly ROM if your still on KK.

I don't think anyone has done a compatibility check to see what happens if you run a 4.4 build on a device with 5.x bootloaders. It might work, it might do weird things (usually with sensors/wifi)
Multiwindow never got merged, if you want it you'll have to build for yourself and cherrypick it. There were some remaining issues with the patch we never had time to fix, we got too busy with other stuff, and xplodwild wants to rewrite the whole thing after finding a better way to implement it.
Hi all,
I just found my old Nexus 7 (2012 model) in a dresser drawer and decided to bring it up to speed. Currently it is running what appears to be a stock (maybe debloated) 4.4.2 with root and multirom. Recovery is TWRP for multirom. I was using multirom to run Ubuntu just for kicks, but have lost interest in that project, plus it now appears to no longer be supported. Now what I want to do is just flash one of the nougat based roms and call it good. When I try to add nougat as a second rom I get errors relating to E: not existing, it then deletes everything that just started to install. Posts I've seen in other hardware forums point to maybe the install script being wrong for multiboot. Is there any weight to this idea?
I want to run one of the new roms as a secondary first to see how well it works before flashing it for good. Am I missing something stupid here? I haven't messed with any of this stuff since I switched to Verizon and could really use some help.
I don't really need the multiboot option, but since I've gained it I'm a little slow to want to give it back up. Would it be easier for me to just reload the bootloader, recovery, etc, take it back to stock and start over?

Is the support of Multiroms dead or do they plan a patch for nougat later when it get more mainstream? I am currently running dirty unicorn 7.0 since I just got my screen and would like to have older build for compatibility issue.

If you wan Android 7 on your Nexus 7 2010 you can't use MultiROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403&page=316
Without MultiROM you can use this Android 7 ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-nexus-7-2012-t3530261
Hello!
I recently flashed Slimrom6 on my Samsung S5 and I am super-freaking happy with it. My phone runs smooth as slik and it's a dream using this minimal and lightweight ROM.
However, there's a slight problem - more like a small annoyance. After every boot, the first thing that happens when the screen is unlocked is that a "search apps" page pops into view and obscures the home screen. Pressing the hardware back key dismisses it, no problem - but why does this search apps-page appear? Can it be turned off? It's been there since I flashed, so I really don't think it has anything to do with anything else that I installed later on, like Xposed Framework etc.
Anyone else having this issue?
Setup:
Samsung Galaxy S5 klte (SM-G900F)
Recovery:
PhilZ Touch 6.26.2
Clockworkmod v6.0.4.7
Android Version:
6.0.1
Slim Version:
Slim-6.0.1.build. 1.17-WEEKLY-20161223-0435

Any help is greatly appreciated!
This is still a damn good tablet yet every Rom I try and flash beyond 3.2 Blisspop fails. They just hang at the Samsung boot screen.
People leave their topics with no caution to anyone. It's no wonder the people I directed here no longer message me.

You might have to reflash stock and start over. I, as an example, am running 7.1.1 on my 530NU and I just flashed stock just for the fun of it. In the past 4 hours, I've successfully flashed stock twice and 3 custom Roms. Flash stock through Odin and flash Dirty Unicorn or CrDroid. Both of them are running like clocks on the 530NU.
Sorry but I'm a huge Noob and really need some help. Can I use a Samsung S7 in place of a computer to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T530NU? ( Android version 5.0.2 ; Kernel version 3.4.0-10845349 [email protected]#1 ; Build number LRX22G. T530NUUEU1BQC1 ) The phone is brand new and I want to start with the tablet first, thank you.
