will test.thanks
Download new version from Dropbox.
I just uploaded a new package file on a Dropbox.
You can download it by clicking a link below.

Please notice that this package is tested on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.
I couldn't test on mac, because there is a crash on my mac on vmware with java runtime.
So, mac users, please tell me whether it works or not.
Edited: Now it's been tested on mac os x, too.
I am posting here asking for help, assistance, coaching.
It seems to me that I have all the pieces to properly modify the Sero 7 Pro ROM to accept ad hoc Wi-Fi connections. I've spent several days trying to find a simple step-by-step guide for applying github patches to existing kernels and flashable ROM. I have come to believe that no such simple guide/aid exists because the process itself appears to be complex.
The Nexus 7 CyanogenMod has been successfully modified for ad hoc Wi-Fi. My research indicates that the Sero 7 and the Nexus 7 are similar enough that the same patches should be able to be applied to the Sero 7 ROM. The Nexus 7 and Sero 7 both:
Use Android Jelly Bean 4.2.X
Have the same processor, 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3
Use the same Wi-Fi Chip, Broadcom BCM4330
Kernels use the same Driver, Broadcom bcmdhd Version 5.90.195.104
What I have is the kernel source
http://hisense-usa.com/support/firmware/Sero%207%20Pro_kernel_opensource_us.tar.gz
The full Stock ROM, latest version
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F7DECBA5BB726100%21108
Patches applied to Nexus 7 CyanogenMod ROM with detailed discussion
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Briefly summarizing the discussion and code contained in the above Thinktube webpage:
The Kernel is patched making changes to the bcmdhd Wi-Fi driver
The ROM is patched making changes
to the wpa_supplicant
a few additions to the Android framework and
some changes to the Settings App
So in concept it seems pretty straightforward. Where I am struggling is the whole github process of applying the patch to the Kernel source. Then compiling the modified Kernel source. And applying the remaining patches to the ROM with the newly modified Kernel.
I need someone willing to work with me on the github piece. Or alternately coach me through that process.
So the resounding lack of response tells me either I've posted on the wrong forum or it is indeed as complex and cumbersome as I suspected.
But I may have figured out how to accomplish it myself. I have NOT figured out the github process. But I do know a little Linux and do run a virtual Ubuntu machine.
So I :
1. manually modified the Broadcom bcmdhd in the kernel source line by line.
2. swapped the wpa_supplicant file in the Sero7 stock ROM with the one from the Nexus 7 CyanogenMod ROM.
3. extracted the needed sero7_defconfig and initramfs.cpio.gz files
4. compiled the modified kernel source code and created a new boot.img
5. inserted the new boot.img to complete the modification of the Stock ROM
And if this all works, I’ll post my fix in a new thread, perhaps “Sero 7 Pro hoc Wi-Fi Fix”

Oh boy! I've been waiting to hear if someone got the ad-hoc going on the Sero 7 Pro. I've posted asking for help doing this too but never seemed to get a working answer. Did you get yours working and if so could you please post the wpa_supplicant file for the Sero? I would sure like to wifi tether to the Sero. It's the only device I have that doesn't see my phone's wifi.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
my only goal is to use my Nexus 7 (2013 version, running kitkat) to view digital television (dvb-t).
Therefore, have I unlocked it (with complete erase grrr), then rooted it.
And finally, read about one hundred message threads on xda to know how to compile dvb modules for my kernel (3.4.0-gac9222c).
My problem, after all this work, is that it seems that Google did not compile its kernel with modules support.
After doing
# lsmod, I got the following error:
/proc/modules: No such file or directory.
This means apparently that there is no modules support for this kernel.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18818442/loading-kernel-modules-in-android-4-3
My 2 questions is the following:
(1) is it possible to flash a kernel image on my nexus 7 to get module support
(2) is it possible to do that without reflashing my ROM (my stock ROM is enough for my needs)
Cheers,
Louis
I am now in the process of recompiling my own kernel for my Nexus 7 2013, incorporating the DVB-T drivers that I need.
I found a very good tutorial for doing this: http://pete.akeo.ie/2013/10/compiling-and-running-your-own-android.html
The only problem is that the sources of dvb usb drivers in the Android kernel are not up-to-date.
I am searching an easy way to inject the last sources from git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git into the Android kernel?
The directory structure is different. I think i will be forced to update the Makefiles and the Kconfig files by hand, and add & replace .c and .h files manually. I someone has a better (more lazy) solution, I am interrested :victory:
Meanwhile, I play with an old Freecom usb DVB-T stick that is supported by old media sources in the Android kernel.
Wrong forum, here is the 2013 model's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013
Introduction
SlateKit project (slatekit.org) is a drop-in replacement of Android UI stack,
to help makers building custom tablet UI by using Qt/QML, JavaScript and Chromium.
This means you don't need to flash your device, just drop the file, execute the script, then it's done.
Today we announce the first technical preview of SlateKit Base for Nexus 7 (2013),
the platform-specific port, alone with other UI components like Browser, LockScreen and Keyboard.
Prerequisite
Nexus 7 “razor” [2013] (WiFi)
Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H)
rooted and adb shell access
Installation
Download the image: goo.gl/ybYVO1 (146.7 MB)
Unzip files to /data, make sure busybox has executable permission
Start the UI by:
Code:
./chroot.sh
Technical details
a minimal Ubuntu root filesystem (Trusty/armhf)
Qt 5.2.1 and Oxide 1.0 (Chromium content API wrapper)
libhybris for hardware acceleration
hwcomposer QPA from Mer project
What's next?
Theoretically this rootfs works for all Android 4.4 system with HW composer 1.1/1.2,
so I'll try to enable it on other SoCs and make an installer.
If you find this interesting or useful, welcome to join the project:

Does anyone know where it to download it
that is up to date found a couple really old downloads but not most up to date February 2016
Edit :Found a working link for multirom https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/nexus-4-builds/10783
I must've missed this while using my Nexus 5 for a daily driver. There was a Firefox OS image for the Nexus 4? I'm interested in any references…
