Android 4.2

hey guys, so i know just a few posts below me there's a topic about when 4.2 will come to the N7. But what i'm wondering is if anyone has gotten their hands on the 4.2 GAPPS or anything of the sort, such as the new 4.2 keyboard and the 4.2 camera (not that the camera would be much use on an N7). I have the 4.2 GAPPS, keyboard and camera running on my S3, can i just use those same .zip files and flash them on my N7? or does it not just work that way.

The apps can be flashed on any device running 4.1 or later
Link

Be careful mate. I flashed the 4.2 gapps and once i rebooted i was constantly getting force closes on all the apps that got flashed.
My device was a real mess. I have not tried the separate apps like keyboard etc so i cant comment on them.
Edit...i did not flash the ones that the fellow member linked you to in the post above.
The ones in that link say the for any androud 4.1 device so you should be ok.

Ah, I assumed the OP already had the apps in the link I posted as he said about his S3 and the thread linked was in the S3 forum.
So yeah, make sure you're using the apps from the link and you should be fine as the post says its for any device running 4.1 or over. If you're unsure you could always perform a nandroid backup beforehand in case anything does go wrong.

yeah, that link is where I got the GAPPS from. I guess I didn't see the part about being able to flash it on anything. lol
thanks a bunch

Likelyhood of seeing a 4.2 ROM for the Tab?

Does anybody know if 4.2 roms will be worked on for this or is pretty much dead with development for this device?

Are you asking if from Samsung or XDA? As far as on XDA; 4.2 has barely finish merging for CM in the last few days. I am sure we'll see it when it starts coming out for other devices. We'll definitely not see it from Samsung.

We have great developers who will work on this.

No no I didn't mean from Samsung. Lol I wouldnt expect much from Samsung any more. Upgrading to 4.2 would be too generous on their part to do for us. I did mean from xda developers. I guess I am just impatient because I thought something would have popped up now from someone even if it was just an aosp based rom.
I guess I will just wait a bit longer and hope something pops up sooner rather than later.

Samsung has already said that they would not be releasing Jelly Bean at all for the 1st generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7xxx. There are already couple of Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 unofficial builds out. For example, Pershoot has a CM10 and Triptosyll has published an AOKP build.
4.2 AOSP has a bunch of quirks and bugs that are just now getting ironed out, I also have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.2 has been a bit of a rough road. Triptosyll mentioned in his thread that he wouldn't be working on 4.2 until AOSP has stabilized.
From a user perspective there isn't that much different between 4.1 and 4.2, the biggest changes are framework support for the multiuser feature. Since our Galaxy Tabs have only 1GB RAM, don't expect that feature to work well at all in 4.2 anyway. The other big feature is the 2 finger swipe for quick settings and toggles. However, coming from CM10 or AOKP, you already have better toggles available in the base notification shade. So don't get too impatient for 4.2. 4.1 has most of the goodies already.

I just installed that one, works well, haven't tested the microphone yet. You guys should give it a try

Ok I finally tried a 4.2.1 build, the one form DDyno. This is the best this tab has performed. Its not as smooth yet as my galaxy nexus, I expected something comparable but I still have faith.
Everything works except for the new "voice search" from google. Video playback is awesome, and the stock android browser just flies. This is how this tab should have worked in the first place.

I got it a few days ago.
Although it looks and runs smooth I have an issue where I cannot add any data to the device.
Can't browse the device in windows explorer, download, update, take pictures, receive files through BT, etc.
Very strange, been reading and searching for the last few days but haven't seen anyone else comment the same.
8 more posts and I'll be able to ask for help in the correct thread.
Till then the tab is the most expensive clock I ever bought.

Perhaps you should clarify what you are unable to do on what android version. Are you using a nightly? If yes, then you need to enable USB computer connection using Settings > Storage > USB Computer connection (using icon on upper right corner) > Connect as Media device (MTP).

I already did that.
But since you asked for it:
Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 - GT-P7510 16GB
CWM Recovery v5.8.3.1 (not able to install higher version)
Previos ROM version: "boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-102411.zip"
Installed ROM version: "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Trough some other website I got some instuctions on installing the latest nightly.
But either the instructions weren't very clear or I skipped a few steps. (probably the later)
I did however take the roms from Cyano website. The wikipage did not have installation instructions yet.
Should have come here in the first place.......
Anyway,
After updating CWM from 4.0.0.4 to 5.8.3.1 installation went smooth. (install file was named "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" but no touch and no 6.0.1.0. Text color changed to babyblue and menu is slightly different from the previous version)
Wiped data/factory reset,wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache.
installed from zip file "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Reboot and everything looks good. WiFi, bluetooth, etc all seem to work.
However....
1-
I can access the tab through my computer. shows up as "Galaxy tab 10.1" somethimes as "gt-p7510"
IIn Windows explorer I see "internal storage" but can not browse this storage.
2-
I can not download anything. It force closes the browser.
3-
Bluetooth:
Pc and tablet pair nicely but sending files to the tab is not possible. "Storage issue"
4- I cannot download new/old nightly files.
5-
At first startup it did not ask for my google account. The one you need to access the market. Did not see/find the option under settings.
Have to log in through browser to download from the market. Which doesn't work because the operating system is convinced that there is no fre space resulting in a force closuse of the browser.
So in short, it seems I cannot add any files to the device. (5.3 Gb free)
Is there a workaround for this?
I do have access to the folder data/media/0/0/0/0/0/0 with my old files including the above mentioned droid installation roms, "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" and "US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip"
No Logcat sorry.
Any help on how to reverd back to my previous ROM or to get this one working would be highly appreciated.
Old ROM is prefered. Since I got whatsapp working on it.

Did you flash the recommended gapps package (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6e8kowyuc59zjc) after installing the ROM? This I would say are at the heart of your issues? However, if you are still having issues it might be worth following the instructions in this thread CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly Discussions. At worst, you might have to Odin back to stock ICS using this thread. Hope that helps!!

Now could be the problem.
I didn't since I read somewhere that it was optional.......
I am however now running correct CWM version 6.0.2.7 (recovery.tar.md5 file)
Tried reinstalling the rest but no improvement.
Is it possible to get this Gapps package on the tab via Odin?
Odin seems the only way to get anything done at the moment.
Thanx for the help. Feeling I'm getting closer to a solution.

Don't think there is. I think your best option is to flash a stock ICS ROM and start over. On the plus side, it should already have the ICS bootloader and recovery that you flashed. Follow the steps in nightly threads once you are back to stock.

Thanxs for the tip regarding flashing back to stock ROM!
I was so busy reading/searsching several threads about the problem that I never thought about starting from scratch.
But....
After having gone to stock ROM I tried again a few times.
Followed the instructions from the nightly thread.
Same issue,
Since I have to work again next week and don't have time to struggle with it I've decided to go back to Task650's V14 for now.
I'll wait a bit more for the "official" release and give it a try again.
Thanks again for the help!

It's a CM10.1 based ROM with a few customizations. I've changed to it from Task's and I don't have any regrets.

[Q] Any full port to Nexus S ?

The subject is on.
We are on the list but in the NS topic there is no full version rom.
Anybody knows anything?

I have a gnex but I remember seeing that someone ported it in the ns4g.
Its still under the name boot2gecko but you probably going to need to wait for a more stable version gets released. Right now I think its buggy with limited functions but has a radio.
I'm not 100% positive this is correct but I'm just trying to give some insight.

Hi!
Firefox os did support Nexus S. Here is my method to put Firefox os into Nexus S.
1. Download ICS image from google, soju-imm76d-factory-ca4ae9ee.tgz
2. tar zxvf soju-imm76d-factory-ca4ae9ee.tgz
3. Press volume up + power key. Nexus S will get into fastboot mode.
4. run "./flash-all.sh" Nexus S will be flashed with ICS image
5. get into B2G code and run script "./config.sh nexus-s"
6. build image "./build.sh"
7. flash image "./flash.sh"

I'll be honest, I don't think L is ready to be ported. I ran it three times on my n5. it is nice, but its buggy as heck. and there is no real source for it(to use). what's published is very incomplete. it also has kernel changes and new binaries that aren't published. you can't build a nexus 5 ROM from it.

MIUI 8 Nexus 4- Any Interest?

I've been learning and figuring out how to port MIUI, and I have a general understanding of it, would anyone be interested in a port for Nexus 4? I do not have a Nexus 4 on the ready though, so it'd have to have others testing it.

Me...

Would be great to have a Miui8 for N4! I will be glad to be a tester.

im so interested

Miui 8? of course

Somebody tell me the procedure... I can port it...

I was reading the porting guide myself the other day... but it seems to be quite a bit of work!

Count me in. Currently running the last version.

Past monday I've made one version based on AOSP 6.0.1 from xda
I can't test it yet, because I've only one nexus 4 and it's used on my work.
I've tried to flash but, I can't, get stuck on the begining of updater script. I think it was because I'm on TWRP and I need to change to Clock Work Recovery.
I have no time to flash it beacuse I need to travel out from home this week. All rejects should be repaired.
If some want to test, i'll put a link to my drive. It's a heavy zip about 650 Mb, I think some apk's should be removed like FM that will not work on our nexus 4 but I can't do it today..

It's not a problem with TWRP, it's a rom size problem. Fullota.zip is too big and compatible with TWRP 3.0.2.
I'm reducing his size deleting sounds, apk's inside the zip.
