Kernel Question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is just a quick question,
I am running 4.2 Jellybean on my Nexus 7, and wanted to flash a custom kernel. That supports 4.1.1/4.1.2 and the kernel hasn't been updated by the OP. So, if I flashed it, would me Nexus work? Would it be fine?
Thanks. -cburk

I think I heard that it will indeed work. I suggest you just try it, but first, make a nandroid!!!

This is the upgrade from GRI40 - Good find!
If I'm completely stock, I just download, name it update.zip, boot into recovery, and choose apply update? Do I got that right?

You're welcome... I was just a lucky guy
For anyone who flashed the KB3 radio you'll need to flash back to KB1 for this update (it patches the radio).
Worked like a charm, thanks OP!

possible to pull out the google talk application and see if we can get it running on other android phones.
Thank you!

If you're unlocked just flash the SU binary via recovery. You don't need a special rooted version.

If you've flashed your radio manually to the KB3 radio then you can use the .zip from my previous post that contains the KB1 radio. Flash that in CWM and you're good to go. If you haven't manually replaced the radio then you have nothing to worry about.

How do I do that? I'm on Liquid Nexusbread rom, which is CM7 based. I also have the stock rooted 2.3.3 build (GRI40) saved as a backup.

What you said in those two posts are two different things. I'm sure Netarchy will release a compatible version with 2.3.4 shortly. He's usually really quick on these things.

New to Nexus 7 and ?'s

So I've had my N7 for 30 minutes. So could someone please direct me to a rooting procedure and suggest a ROM.

Good, I would recommend keep diving through post for your better knowledge and understanding. Happy learning

There isn't too much out for 4.2 but 4.1.2 has plenty of options. The easiest way to root would be a toolkit. You don't learn much but if you don't care that's fine. Otherwise keep reading.

I'm pretty savoy rooting and installing ROMs on my Samsung skyrocket S2. So I didn't know if there's a better way w/N7. It has already updated to 4.2.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
There aren't many ROMs supporting 4.2. I think there is one that is stock deodexed. 4.1.2 has plenty of options. You may like 4.2 though so try it for a bit. Wug has a good toolkit. One click rooting. Easy

Hello,
You should try the 4.2 roms in the development area. There are stock ones with root enabled by default. I'm using scrosler's one for 3 days now and it's working ok. Better than the OTA anyway.
You do need to flash clockworkmod first to be able to flash roms.

[Q]Multirom kezec hard boot install?

I posted about this a couple of times in the multirom thread but I never got and answer so I thought I might post about it here in the q&a.
My question is when/how do I install the kezec hard boot kernel during the multirom setup /install? As in do i install it before i install multirom? Do i inject the boot.img after?
I didn't really get how to do it from the instructions and I'm quite wary about doing things I don't understand.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There isn't a kernel in the Multi-boot package, so are you referring to installing a 3rd-party one? It's probably most convenient to have that installed beforehand, because you will need to do the installation differently otherwise.
He says in his post that from multirom v3 onwards multirom uses some kexec-hardboot thing and that u need a patched kernel. Thanks for youre reply anyway

Right, pretty sure most devs have patched their kernels so most should work.

What did you select for the drivers?
I noticed before I had to wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions in recovery afterwards to get it to work with the stock music player.

Yes sir, I have been using it on all my roms and stock since I found out what it was from the first release of Blue Kuban.
You need to make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are in the thread as well as install the proper drivers.

Updating Custom ROMs

I am using Purity 4.4 + Matrix 11.5 right now.
Now my question is how do you guys update your respective ROMs instead of flashing newer versions through recovery? I tried GooManager but it didn't work for me :-|
You should ask in thread about your rom. If devs do not do OTA update you must use recovery to update rom
I think most use recovery
Sent from my Nexus 4
Download updated ROM zip file and flash through recovery (TWRP for myself).

Well being a new member, I am not actually allowed to ask in ROM threads, that's why I asked here.

It's not hard but sometimes you get too lazy
Simple. Set up VM environment there are simple walkthrough video and once your set up you can pull straight out of the devs or any branch. I do my own when I feel I need to add a feature I do. There are a major variety of bases to choose from. Its much easier than many think. In my opinion its safer as I know exactly what I'm getting. Not to mention an addiction lay within too. Lol Have fun bro. Welcome to the machine. Many new devs are so stoked when the first ROM they build is complete they can't stop. Lol peace.

I do know stuff about Android development but I am too scared to try that kind of stuff. Can you link me to those tutorials or videos?
