HDMI out! - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't help but think that we can somehow get this:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6499/...ix-slimport-microusb-to-hdmi-and-vga-adapters
to work with our Nexus 7....
Anyone try this or have any idea what we will have to do to make it work?

It's a no go I'm afraid. Nexus 7 simply doesn't have the hardware in order to make it work, been discussed on here a few times.

Have you tried it? I don't have a clue what hardware you are talking about, the operating system handles secondary displays, not the hardware. The Nexus 7 has OTG support which makes me think this could very well work.

Okay, I see that it does not work, but no one has really confirmed that there is no way of doing it. Hopefully someone can figure out a way to get video out on the Nexus 7, but right now it seems like it's not gonna work.

Maybe some application that would stream over usb to a client on the pc but it sucks as bad as it sounds....

This isn't mhl. I'm assuming it doesn't work either but..who knows until someone tries one.

Flash on nexus 7...really annoying i when I can't view websites

So is there a way I can have flash on the nexus 7?
Is dissapointing that can't watch some web pages..I bought this not to turn on my PC and I still need to go to my pc, so what's the point of this piece of crap?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There are several guides on how to this on here.
Load an alternate browser like Firefox or the AOSP browser (look in themes and apps section) and side load the Flash apk ..which has been posted multiple times shouldn't be hard at all to find it.

Exactly.
Did you not read anything about the device before or after you bought it. Everyone knew flash wasn't available for jellybean before. And there are workarounds found after.

But before you return it, check it for screen lift, dead pixels, etc. and then if it's in perfect shape, go ahead and post where you are returning it to, so people who are hunting for their own N7 can actually get one
Dont get me wrong, I love my nexus, no way I am giving it back !!!
Is just that when my wife is using it, she comes across some flash sites, and she says " this doesn't work, I don't know why you expend $200 on this"

Not possible. 4.2 and higher is/will be just completely incompatible with the nexus 7, no matter what. Google decided they didnt like the nexus 7 anymore

It has been proven, "facetious" and "satire" don't work on public forums.
Forums only activate the lowest 10 percent of available brain cells.
Only thing lower would be Yahoo news report reader comments.

The Question is Do you need Root Today.\?
You do not have to ask permission to root or not..With this being a nexus and knowing you made backups(well even if you did not) you can very easily go back to Stock or near stock.
I think google is going to skip the 42 update . They are may be afraid someone will have a heart attack caused by over excitment for the push of the file.. They will delay it to a less enthusiastic time...

[Q] Android 4.2.2 on N4?

Can anyone verify anything about this? Nothing in the US so far but I assume that's because if it's really legit they want to test on a smaller market before upsetting more users if something goes wrong.

From all that's reported on this so far it is only a test build and not an official release.

reported is a strong word. they are just reposting the same information over and over. nothing new. even if it is a test build it could have useful information and we need someone to do a system dump or something.

Yeah sorry about that. I couldn't perform a search to see if threads containing 4.2.2 existed. Doesn't seem to be an option anywhere for me to kill the thread either.

One of the links in one of the other threads on this that I read reported that 1000 test units were built in a factory in Brazil with 4.2.2 as they will soon be making the Nexus 4's there. They only other reported device was 1 in Malaysia and it was suspected to be a prototype as it was a 16GB model and only 8 GB models were sold there.

Maybe they got the ui in a release state and will release a image for the nexus 7.

There is a rumor going around that this may be related:
http://www.htc.com/us/
But some people are thinking its unrelated, that HTC is announcing a phone and not a tablet.
Now this Forums needs to be renamed. Ubuntu for Mobile Devices.
Awesome cant wait....on internet there are rumors about the reveiling of htc...maybe a htc tablet with ubuntu. Time of reveiling is exact the same of the time on the countdown clock.....well see.....

Especially with the dock! It will be a laptop on its own!
If its supposed to be a converged OS, I don't know that it necessarily makes sense to have subcategories for phone and tablet. The forum should probably just be called Ubuntu, with subcategories Ubuntu OS and Ubuntu for Android. It might even make sense to separate it by OS version numbers, since 13.04 is supposed to be the converged touch friendly version of the OS. I guess though it really depends on what the moderators think people will be talking about. App developement, porting, configuring, customizing, driver hacking, etc.
The tablet interface looks like its going to be good, I wonder if it will be available for older Tablet PCs (x86).

Official source code not available for download yet. But found a not yet modded ROM in the One (M7) forum that is extremely stock like so now real work could start You can download it here
Just stumbled across this
I believe that it would only be possible by using cm10.1 base and a ROM off a phone with the same hardware *coughHTCBUTTERFLYcough*. That is my insight

Why did you dig up an old thread and not only do you need a similar hardware but you also need proprietary drivers made by HTC for sense *coughSOURCENOTRELEASEDcough*
