[Q] Kernels and ROM for Kegbot - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy XDAers,
So I'm currently in the process of trying to complete my Kegbot install. I have a Nexus 7 (Grouper) that was upgraded to Lollipop (5.0.2) and was following the instructions as given at <DEFEAT ROBOT>https://forum.kegbot.org/t/howto-root-nexus-7/203/7</DEFEAT ROBOT>. The problem is that post was written for the Kit Kat version of Android. And unfortunately the Kangaroo kernels they have linked to have been replaced by someone trying to install malware on my system (the nerve). So that was a dead end.
Anyway I am looking for a kernel that allows me to use USB OTG and charge my Nexus at the same time while on Lollipop. Does such a kernel exist yet? About 45 minutes of Googling has yielded nothing. If not can someone point me to where I can find a Kit Kat kernel with the aforementioned support and an accompanying ROM to go with it. I can handle the rest from there. Thanks gents (and ladies if any are in here).
[ EDIT ] : Spelling and Grammar.

Hi Stieg.
Did you ever figure this out? i`m in the same situation myself. just started my kegbot build but i am trying to run the server directly from the Tablet.

Need Alternative USB ROM

Hello Everyone,
Last week I bought all of the necessary parts to do an in-dash install of a Nexus 7 (2012). This morning, before work, I started the process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting, etc. Well on my lunch break I went over to Timur's site to download his ROM to my phone so that I would have it already downloaded before i got home. However, I see that he has discontinued distribution of that ROM. After scouring the interwebs, I found a link he posted on another site with a statement from his saying that it will only be available until 10/19. However, when I try the link it won't load.
So, I am wondering if there are any alternative ROMs that can do all of the same things as Timur's.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks!
PS: I'm really sorry if this was asked before, I read the hole last 10 sites of the forum and didnt found anythings related to my problem, "just" 10 sites because I think its related to 4.4.4 and maybe PA.

There are custom kernels (unleased kernel series, Hells Doctor, Hellscore, ...) which supports OTG and also supports Lolipop.

How does one "Simply install the zip in recovery"?
My screen is broken (just the touch; everything is still visible). I was hoping I could install this mod without being able to touch the lower half of my screen so that I could plug in a mouse so that I could copy some files off my device.
I can reboot into recovery mode, but USB debugging is *not* enabled. I've never used "adb" on this device before (I just says "offline" when I try to run it from my PC).
I have no idea how to "install a zip".
Phone is an Nexus 4, running android 4.something.

Is the OP willing to develop the patch for lollipop too? Or is there any nice kernel with USB host support?
nexus 4 lolipop 5.0.1 and xbox wireless gamepad
Hello. I want use xbox360 wireless gamepad on my nexus 4 lolipop 5.0.1. I think first I need kernel with OTG support. What kernel I can download on 5.0.1 android? I need y-cable for receiver of xbox360. what about mouses and keyboards they also need y-cable?
What can be the problem, why OTG still doesn't work
Hey guys,
however I'm completely new to this stuff, I managed to get through every barriers, and I put Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot M12 on my Nexus 4 and after that flashed the suggested kernel and patch successfully to try out OTG. The phone works withput problem, the installations seem to be successful, therefore I tried to connect an external storage to the phone to check if OTG works on it.
For that, I used a SIMPLE OTG cable like this:
<<<LINK CANNOT BE SHOWN SINCE I AM NEW TO THE FORUM - picture is the second picture of the first post in this thread>>>
connected to an Y-cable SIMILAR to this:
<<<NO LINK AGAIN - the 3rd picture of the first post in this thread>>>
The difference from the one on the picture is that mine has a male mini USB end instead of a female normal USB end as in the picture. My cable is the cable of an external wichester otherwise.
So, I tried with this cable setup, the result was that both the phone and the connected storage received electricity from the external power source, but the storage was not detected by the phone. I had a feeling that it doesn't get enogh power, so I attached it to a USB phone charger just to be sure, but the situation remained the same: the light on the storage was green, which means it is charging, the light on the phone was also on, but the storage was not detected.
My question is if I should try with the exact same cable set that can be found in the first post of this thread on the first picture or mine also should do the job, and there should be still some software related problem?
Please also tell me if you need more information on this to answer it, however I tried to be specific.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Hello. What i can do on lolipop? There is no solution? I have a 32gb flash drive, y-otg cable, standart power adapter micro-usb-male. Rooted nexus4
Which zip I need to download?
Hi, i'm really beggining on Android stuffs, since I didnt had one until the last week, so I'm really in doubt about which one of the zip files i need to install in my system to make the OTG cable work properly.
Once I downloaded a random ziddley zip on the internet and when I installed it in recovery mode, i needed to reinstall the android system on my phone, since the phone wont boot anymore.
So, can anyone help me? I'm sharing in this post a screenshot of the Android Version screen on the settings. I've rooted my phone using the King Root app
Considering that my android version is 4.4.4, I consider that I may download one of the following:
4.4.x: 2013.12.11 1604ET: [fk r199] [fk r199-CM]
4.4.x: 2013.12.06 1445ET: [aosp r7]
But which one?
And just another noob question. Is this the right way to install the ziddley zip on my phone?

Sorry for the noob questions and thanks to anyone who helps, because I REALLY need the otg cable to work, so I can develop some things using the XBOX 360 cable!

Android 4.4.4 on Acer A500 Working Partially
I was running ICS 4.03 and installed the 4.4.4 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705989
Using Skrilax V9 bootloader and CWM 6.0.4.5.
Omnirom Kitkat loads up fine but cannot restore apps through Titanium Backup and as it reports no Root access.
Also Google Play cannot locate this device but I can log in and see my apps using the stock Browser that was installed.
Made several attempts with Google Android Manager to no avail.
I assume this custom ROM has root access correct? If true, don't understand why Titanium Backup is complaining.
Location is set for Wi-Fi and mobile network to determine location.
So for now cannot restore my apps locally via Titanium Backup until I get to the bottom of the issue.
Your guidance appreciated as well as the work to make this ROM available to such a broad audience.
DISREGARD, I am getting everything working in the light version.
Rom for Acer A500
Hello I am new to the forum and also the modding and not perlo language very well.
I tried to flash the recovery "update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.7.3" the "OmniROM-4.4.4-Tegraowners ROM v21" the work went well but sometimes I crash.
Can you tell me what is currently the OmniROM 4.4.4 better and more stable than those in the first page, and if I can flash with the current recovery, (update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.7.3), pointing to the steps to do because I lost in the discussion not knowing the language in fact I am using the translator.
thanks

I used the instructions found at the beginning of the 4.4.4 Light version thread as the full version gave me issues. I didn't use the Thor recovery, Skrilax version 9 instead.

flickering screen with Facebook?????
I installed v6 of omni ROM on my Acer a500, and just updated to the newest version.

And to use it again I have to reboot otherwise I just get a black screen. It happens on both versions of the ROM, anyone else have this issue???. Thanks for any replies

Lockups
yeah i have been having a few issues along the same lines, i think its more to do with disk 'bandwidth' usage than the cpu. With low data throughput apps running it will run for days without issue, start downloading at 500kB/s (or sometimes as little as 370kB/s) and do some other disk intensive task and pop its gone! this could be biased a bit by my experience of it as i quite often use the A500 to dl things or load it up with stuff before a journey etc.. have also had it get stuck in deep sleep modes but think thats the disk issue as well...
Could it be overfilling it disk buffers or something? not much experience with android hardware but this tablets a bit old now and new roms may be expecting the inbuilt storage to be performing a little faster than the a500's can deal with
Also have tried all the available i/o schedulers and none seem to have and noticeable difference in time between hangs, although without bothering to setup proper test conditions i cant really say much really
oops was meant to be in reply to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60787006&postcount=293 meh....
LNX partition not loading?
Hello and sorry if it's an easy question but it's my first time trying to install roms. I've followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705989 to install OmniRom 4.4.4 on my iconia A500. I installed Skrilax bootloader V9 and then CWM 6.0.4.5 on my device and up to now everything worked well. I then put OmniRom 4.4.4 build 8 and gapp pico on a micro sd card, wiped data using CWM then install the rom (from /storage/sdcard1) then installed the gapp (also from /storage/sdcard1), then wiped cache partition and rebooted. I've been stuck on the Skrylax "booting android image from LNX partition" for half an hour now... Where did I make a mistake?

Using TWRP-2.6.3.0 to install Omni 4.4.4
Hi all,
Just want to know if it does matter to use TWRP-2.6.3.0 (instead of 2.6.3.1) to install Omni 4.4.4...???
Anyway, the installation went through w/out any issue. I'm using my revived Acer-A500 (was bricked for almost 2 yrs).
W/out this XDA-Dev's great resource, I would not be able to revive my bricked Acer-A500 & running Omni 4.4.4 (CM-11) now.
Many thanks to everyone on the board, especially, Skrilax, blackthund3r, civato & all the great XDA-Dev team...!!!
Cheers,
JKS

Looking for the right (kinda specific) kernel. Grouper, multirom, 5.1

Hi guys.
I've searched around the boards and net for days (cause what's worse than a new member that can't use the search function?) and I'm in need of a specific kernel for my 2012 Grouper.
I'm currently running Multirom with Kali Linux Nethunter (written over Cyanogenmod 12.1) in my primary slot, and CM 12.1 in the secondary.
I'm wondering if there is a kernel out there that will fill the following needs:
5.1 Lollipop (CM12.1, Nethunter 3.0)
Kexec-hardboot
USB fast charging/power external devices (TP-Link wifi adapter)
And if possible, All F2FS (I've found nothing for 5.1 compatibility with F2FS)
If I'm stupid and overlooked something obvious, feel free to call me on it. I'm new to Modding, and I've bricked my HTC Evo 4G LTE about 30 times without running to forums to ask for help on piddly and obvious solutions. As to the "needs" on my kernel, yes... I know I want pretty much everything. Hehe.
This forum has been a tremendous help so far, and I look forward to interacting with you all.
ETA: Current kernel version "3.1.10-Bricked-v0.591-g0a2e5f6 [email protected] #2"

Installing TWRP and custom ROM on d802

Hey guys,
I have a LG d802 phone which a relative asked me to update (i.e install a custom ROM) because his version of Android, 4.4.2 is having its support dropped for different, important applications he uses and he would need to throw this perfectly healthy phone away otherwise.
I am no expert at Android rooting, but I know the basic idea anyway. However, when I look up this device on TWRP.me (as well as their official app), it gives no results. I find it strange that the international variant of this phone would be unsupported; especially since I have seen threards on XDA as well as YouTube videos posted about running TWRP on this device. I am reluctant to try flashing files from random Dropbox (or similar) links however, especially if they are a few years old.
Could someone please provide an explanation how I go about to flash TWRP on this device, and if there is any special rules regarding installing a custom ROM (in my case, ResurrectionRemix) and GApps?
Also, I understood I need something called "loki", what is this and how do I use it?
Running Android 4.4.2, everything in stock except I enabled USB debugging.
Thanks a lot for any assistance!
