Personally I would recommend any android 4.4.4 rom. Stock or custom is your choice.
All android versions after 5.0 doesn't performe good over longer times on the grouper.
I am using purity rom.
I have red that the unofficial slim rom 9.0 was just updated with patched stagefright.

can i flash the old Rom ? as i heard the myth that you cannot downgrade after upgrading to latest ?
yeah i would go for 4.4.4 as the device is unusable sometime on 5.1.1
can you link me to stock rom of 4.4.4 nexus 7 2012 (wifi only)

Never heard that you can't downgrade. I was on 5.1.1 and I am now on 4.4.4.
I used wugs nexus root kit or how it is called and went back to 4.4.4.
I hadn't any problems.

You can give it a try. Just have all drivers installed and running and all should be fine.
Are you currently on stock?
If not and you are running a custom rom you can install a custom 4.4.4 rom via custom recovery.
yeah i have always used this device on Stock Rom
just flashed 4.4.4 using wugfresh and now device has become so quick like the way i bought Thanks for the help anything you would like to tell
What's the verdict on new marshmallow roms? Any good or still too new to tell?
AOSP 6.0 is running much better than 5.1.x on grouper, but there are still some minor issues you need to accept
- autorotate stops working after deep sleep
- sound some times stops (can be fixed be inserting a headset for a short time)
- sometimes a bit laggy, but much much better than 5.1.1

nexus 7 2012 will be update to 6.0 by google?
I think best version is 4.4.4, bu, i have some issues on USB dac, because i use on my car. Original lolipop + root + kernel oxydorevamp works fine (most time).
@rgp95: I was referring to the AOSP version provided by Dmitri Grinberg which can be flashed on your own risk.

Hi guys, I just recently(like 3 days ago) got a Nexus 4. My cousin had installed the stock 4.4.2 Kitkat, and then I flashed Purity Rom(Latest 4.4.2).
After a while I read about SlimBean(4.3) and decided to download and try. I flashed it with CWM and all was well, except Wifi wasn't turning on and the Dialer app took about 10 seconds to select a number, also I couldn't pickup a call because it was really, really laggy. So now I'm back on Purity and currently downloading Paranoid Android 3.99RC2. Should there be any steps/methods I should follow? I am on .98 Baseband, thanks!

A full wipe is a must! Other than that you should be good to go! In my opinion, I would stick with Purity for now. I heard that Pa 4 is right around the corner tho.

Don't recommend going from purity to slim beam in my experience purity is better

Did you try flashing a different radio?

If you downgrade to Jellybean 4.3 then you also need to flash 0.84 radio because KitKat radios (0.97 and 0.98) will have wifi issues with JB ROM's.

Hi guys,long time lurker here.
I have recently tried to update my old Nexus 2012 to Kitkat, and messed it up!:crying:
I can only get into TWRP now, and only get roms on there via a USB OTG cable.
Thing is, i've tried loads of roms and they all seem to fail. I've obviously messed up somewhere, anyone give me any poiinters?
Cheers.
EDIT
Think I'm sorted - seems i can't update to Kitkat, I tried a 4.2 rom, and all is good.
Note to self - do more research before 'updating':silly:

If you took an OTA with stock firmware and TWRP, that's the issue. You can't boot into the bootloader to flash stock?

For stock KitKat, use Nexus Root Toolkit and flash the stock binary, and enable USB debugging! Toolkit really takes over so it's kinda one click.
For a ROM? Update TWRP, CWM, or PhilZ to the latest version and pick a ROM that suits your fancy! Good luck on your journey!

Ah yes, I tried the toolkit when I thought I'd furbared by tablet, I'll enable debbinging & give it another go.

You probably need to update your bootloader to the latest.
You could flash stock 4.2.2 with fastboot.... And when you reboot, it will give you the kit kat ota. Which will update your bootloader and leave you on 4.4.2. Then you just need to flash recovery and root again.

Hmmm, just tried this, everything seemed to go well, but it hasn't given the option of an ota update when I've rebooted. It's still showing as as CyanogenMod Version too?

Hi, seymour71...
If you're running Googles official factory stock Android 4.2, then you can download the relevant OTA update(s) from here, directly to your Nexus 7, and flash in CWM or TWRP.
You can find out the specifics of the ROM build number your currently running by going to SETTINGS>>ABOUT TABLET>>BUILD NUMBER on your Nexus 7.
You may need to upgrade incrementally, that is to say, from 4.2 to 4.3 (and their successive point updates) right through to the latest version, Android 4.4.2 (Build number: KOT49H).
NOTE: OTA UPDATES ONLY WORK WITH OFFICIAL UNMODIFIED FACTORY STOCK... If you're running a Custom 4.2 based ROM, then flashing them will fail.
Good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Cheers dude. Just checked, the build number says: BeatMod CrystalClear v2.3
Android version is 4.2.2
I thought i'd just flashed it back to a 4.2 stock rom via the toolkit, but apparently not.

"BeatMod CrystalClear v2.3"... Never heard of that one before. There are some pretty obscure ROMs out there. This one sounds like it has some sort of 'music' orientation.
Anyhow... it's a Custom ROM... and you wont be able to update it to 4.4.2 unless the developer has released a 4.4.2 version.
---------------------------------------------------------
Your best bet is to fastboot flash the official Google factory stock image for your specific Nexus 7(2012) model (WiFi only, or WiFi & 3G).
The Nexus 7(2012) factory image(s) can be found here...
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
Instructions on how to fastboot flash can be found here...

Hope this helps.

Ah, it seems I didn't do it right properly first time.
I'm now on 4.2.2 with the build number JDQ39.
Would I be safe to flash a stock 4.4 rom using the toolkit now? It hasn't offered me an ota update - not yet, anyway.
Edit- It's doing it now, I think. Watch this space!
Hi, can anyone recommend me a way to get 5.0.1 rooted lollipop for the nexus 4? I just want a pure stock rom without any additions to it because i want some stability since ive been having problems with my 4.4.4 rom. Thank you!

Flash the 5.0.1 factory image with fastboot. Then flash the twrp image with fastboot. Then flash supersu in twrp. You'll have 5.0.1 with root.

Just make a backup of any files that you need then download and install Wugfresh toolkit and select to install stock rom and then just click at Root button.
Just a few clicks and u r done.
Hey guys, just pulled my nexus 7 out. I want to update it to the latest, but it's been so long since I've used it, I don't know where to begin. Right now here's what it's running:
Android 4.3
Model ME370T
Build CleanROM 4.0.0
Kernel 3.1.10 leankernel grouper 43-2-0-+
Whatever I do, I don't want to lose root etc. I would like to update it to either the latest kitkat if available or Lollipop. Have all the bugs been worked out for the most part with the lollipop roms on this tablet? I've only briefed the threads so far.
Should I just use Wug's Nexus Rootkit to do everything? I just don't want to lose root. I know with my ATT s4 you can lock the bootloader with the later updates and just dont wanna make a mistake.
Trying to keep the tablet as close to stock look as possible, but some cosmetic changes aren't too big a deal to me. Cleanrom was pretty good, but I'll have to research some of the new ones now.
Thanks!

At your state you can't keep root without updating. Best way to upgrade is to get the latest factory image (Lollipop LMY47V) and flash that. After that flash latest trwp and flash supersu zip or flash a rom

Sounds good, thanks for the guidance. I'll follow that path then
I have this SM-T230NU with the latest 4.4.2 update. I dont really like 4.4 and lower so i am trying to find a android 5.X or even 6.x rom. I dont have root and TWRP and if there is a ACTUAL 5.x or 6.x firmware I am going to root and get TWRP for that.

The touchwiz samsung stuff just slows it down as i saw. and why is there no custom roms? Well i see that some people are working on CM12.1 for the T230/NU right here so i might as just wait for that or something else to come.

I installed acheron rom, it has trebutched launcer and its smoother than stock. At this moment those who started making cm12.1 are working on cm11 not on cm 12.1. We can expect to see stable 5.x custom roms maybe after 5.1.1 firmware gets relased for tab 4 7.0 wifi only, and honestly i wouldnt count on that.

Okay. I highly doubt that 5.1.1 FW will come out for T230NU model
It'll probably take a while. Blame Marvell. I'm running a StockRom series 4.4.2 ROM, rooted and super debloated. It runs fine, with a few hiccups here and there.
