Q Native Linux Installer - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

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

Oh OK. I'm not a total noob but am with this device. Hmmmm now I wonder if can I restore a backup to revert back...

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.

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

Paranoid android back up

Is there a paranoid android backup similar to the AOKP backup? Would have asked in the paranoid thread but I don't have enough posts..
Thanks!

Can you explain us a little? What do you mean a backup? You mean the rom zipped where you can flash with Recovery? Yes.
Anyone?

Are you referring to making a nandroid backup in recovery, or backing up the home screens and stuff for your rom from the AOKP settings?

Dude, you have to elaborate on what you mean by backup.
Do you mean what CharliesTheMan said? Or what jamesst20 said?

he's most likely looking for the same thing that aokp has in the rom settings... and I do not know the answer to that because I don't do paranoia as it will destroia
but pretty sure he's talking about those special paranoia settings.

There is a pa backup in the settings menu, pa settings, backup and restore. Backs up the pa settings obviously

Yes. It saves all the paranoid settings for each app. I don't think it backs up home screen layouts though, and it definitely doesn't back up apps or data. Usually I dirty flash updates to Paranoid though, so my home screens and apps aren't touched. I just wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the update and gapps. Then I restore my paranoid settings with the backup that we're talking about.

Make a Nanroid Backup, that will get you backed up everything you need.

Best bet is to install nova launcher or apex launcher, setup your screens how you like them, then back it up in the app. Regardless of what you flash you can restore your layout when you redo the launcher app.

Yes it runs very well. The only time I do a full wipe is when I'm changing ROMs. This strategy has worked well for me so far.

Just did it.. Everything seems to be working OK.. If you do a dirty flash, there really isn't a need to back up anything is there?

Well, like mamba_nz said, a nandroid backup can never hurt. I also use Titanium Backup to back up my apps and data.
But to answer your question, unless something goes wrong, no you shouldn't have a need to back up anything.

This, and the fact you don't get exactly 8gb. It's like when you buy a 1TB hard drive and when you are done partitioning and formatting it, you get like 928gb or whatever... (I didn't do the math, but you get it)
But this is a 16gb model......

You must have just recently tried going back to stock..
Grab the stock image and
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jzo54k.zip and it will repartition and format everything correctly.
or boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. it wipes sdcard back to normal.

Sent from my stock LG Spectrum Using LTE 4G on Verizon
I got it while returning to stock, then it didn't want to boot so I installed AOSP and when booted I saw there was only 6gb. Must have been bad download of factory image...
Try not to flash stock-based roms, use any cm or aokp. It won't hurt, the worst thing that can happen is to stay at 6gb.
And, as it's hardware problem, can you claim warranty for a replacement?
The Same works only for img jzo54k ...

if you put that to img jop40d it will screw the Nexus 7 and all has to be done again.

Why root the Nexus 4

So I have my Nexus 4 I love it and everything is running well but I miss some of the advantages of having root. What are the biggest advantages of rooting the Nexus 4 what are the disadvantages? Can I gain root without unlocking the bootloader? I rooted only the Optimus V from virgin mobile is it all basically the same? Is there any known way to root without using a computer? Thanks for any input or suggestions you may have. it is really appreciated.

You can:
1. Install custom kernels and custom roms. (So you're telling me you only rooted the Optimus V and never installed kernels and roms?)
2. It's a different root method than the Optimus V.
3. You MUST unlock the bootloader to gain root access. Might as well unlock it. You won't needing it much unless you brick it somehow.
4. You need to root using a computer. It's not like the Optimus V, there is no special application to use to gain root.
5. The only disadvantage is you not taking advantage of it.
Here are two useful toolkits you can use to root the N4. It's very easy but if you know how to use fastboot then go right ahead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
one very big advantage of rooting is being able to install Adaway. Adaway is an app that removes ads from any other app and browser i think? that you download. If you play games like words with friends, adaway removes the ads and makes it more enjoyable to play.
The deal breaker for me is titanium backup. I used it to migrate /restore my data from my old phone. Now I know there are other apps that can do it without rooting but titanium backup is a one stop centre.

You'll have to revert back to stock to receive them. Or you can wait till a deodexed/odexed stock rom comes out.
For me rooting it is the only way to go. I wouldn't own a server without root and I see android in the same way.
Titanium Backup
Overclock and undervolt with a good kernel like Franco to save battery
AdAway
I would have to recommend going beyond just root and installing a custom ROM.
Being able to have 5 buttons instead of 3 is pretty nice. Xylon G+
Calibrating the screen requires root. Nexus 4 Display Control
I double tap my screen to turn it on. Touch Control
You can adjust the DPI essentially turning up the resolution.
I can't really see any reason not to root / ROM other than fear, as if you go with stable reliable ROMs, you're not gonna break anything, just don't run Antutu, I hear it red light bricks the N4.

(assuming you'd flash a rom after rooting)

No. You need to unlock bootloader then root. That's the order to root the device. Unlocking the bootloader will erase everything on your phone.

I agree.
I had the Optimus V like two years ago. I really liked that phone because it had awesome battery life. But the development was total crap. There was either little or no work done on it. The software was just mediocre.
The roms and kernels in this forum are quite mature and perfect for daily use.

Kernel is the same as boot image. If you're already encrypted then you need to flash ex with no force encryption selected. Then format userdata. You will have to flash kernel after wiping data to get tweaks back.

Yes. I'll send you link to that tool later. It's very easy to use.
