Linux, Meego, WebOS question. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm dual-booting Ubuntu 13.04 and Android 4.2.2, about to add Plasma Active.
Is there a Fedora 18 ROM, meego zip or .tar.gz ported to nexus 7 and also the same for webos?
I'm just looking for something with multirom support.

Nexus 4+Chainfire 3D OR ICS ?

Hi!
If I remember right, there was a problem with Chainfire 3D under Jelly Bean OS that resulted in soft bricking the phone. Has this issue been fixed yet? If not, is it possible to install ICS 4.0.4 somehow on Nexus 4 (Chainfire 3D works with ICS) ?

Not to be snarky, but you can. It's called a hackintosh.
To answer the OP's question, seeing as how the app hasn't been updated in a while, I wouldn't risk it. Also, the nexus 4 will never see ICS. It just won't work. It's like trying to forward-port iOS 3.1.3 to the iPhone 5. The OS was never meant to run on that hardware, and the drivers are not compatible.

Looks like we have to wait when chainfire3d will be updated to work with JB.

Doesn't work, because Firefox OS is ICS based, and the Nexus 4 was shipped with Android 4.2. Too bad!
The FFOS is ICS based, this is true, but there is an update making it 4.x compatible as well. Gonna take a look... Def want that on this Nexus 4
powered by my Nexus 4 on Avatar ROM! :beer: :beer:
Any progress on this? I am a little overwhelmed when looking at building as OS, trying to learn though. If I could I would build this for my N4 for sure.

It doesn't exist for the Nexus 4 because it can't run ICS.
But if you want to compile it for a device that runs ICS, check here.

[Q] Timur and Kexec-Hardboot kernels together!? (using MultiROM AND USBRom together?)

Hey everyone.
i was wondering if i could have Timur's great kernel for USB Host power management AND be able to boot in ubuntu or other android roms, using amazing MultiRom?
i found that i have to use a patch or sth. like that, but i have no idea what i should do.
can anyone give me a step by step guide? noob proof?!!
Timur's kernel already includes the kexec-hardboot patch. When installing Ubuntu with MultiRom you are to select "Don't share kernel with Internal ROM".

Yes, Timur added the patch several months ago. And when you install ubuntu, you dont need to pick dont share kernel. The way multirom is set up, you cant share the kernel, because when you choose ubuntu as the medium, the option is automatically removed.

I should have been more clear. The 2013-01-24 kernel does not have tje kexec patch. He implemented it after that date. Use the cm kernel from april or may.

Is it ok to use cm kernel on stock rom? :S
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Cm means cyanogenMod, right? So installing the cm kernel on stock rom may harm my device, and the stock kernel doesnt support kexec, right?

So, my problem gets worse. Can anyone give me a link to stock kernel?

[Q] Build Cyanogenmod with Windows

Hi there,
I already build CM 10.1 for my mako with Ubuntu and flashed sucessfully using this tutorial.
But I really don't get along with linux. We just don't like each other.
Is there any good tutorial for building on Windows? Is it even possible?
Greetings
Nope, not possible directly on windows. You can run Linux inside a virtual machine if you want.

UBUNTU

Has anyone tried Ubuntu on new nexus 7?
like this
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation
That's for the first gen nexus 7 right? I've actually wanted to try it but don't want to be the first to mess with that until I got a confirmation that it works on 2nd gen tab. Because i would like to run Ubuntu on it to work on my programming on the go without having to carry my laptop.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
We'll still just support the old Nexus 7 for now, as we first need to
start the port for the latest device. It should work, but the main
problem is that the device is based on Android 4.3 by default, so it
requires us to make our layer compatible with that as well (at least
the 4.3 based binaries).
Don't have the device, so can't give more details, but don't see why
not (we would at least have the same possibility to distribute
binaries, so we could also produce such a build once the port is
done).
Cheers,

The developer of MultiRom reached his goal on his Indiegogo campaign, so we should be getting it soon.
