Hi guys,
which alternative os could be installed on the Nexus 7 (2013)?
Actually i would be glad to install Ubuntu on my device, but thats not possible because of a different cpu architecture...
So i ask you for a list of possible operating systems which not based on android like cyanogon...
Why? Just want to free from google and test it...

Actually you can install lots of different versions of linux on your Nexus 7, including Ubuntu and Backtrack. Check this app. The Nexus 7 is on the supported list.

Actually cyanogenMod is just a customized version of Android, it's not a different OS. So i take that what you meant is installing a different ROM on your Nexus 7. Anyway you should start from here
This app seems to be an emulator for different linux distros, don't?
I would prefer a full flash and boot right into linux e.g ubuntu...

He was just trying to help you. May be you should use search in the forums or use google. I typed linux on nexus 7 and found tons of results. Also there is a thread for Firefox OS in the Development forums. You would be much safer doing the linux inside android from the play store.

--> Well, all these posts foucesd on the old nexus 7 - first gen. Ubuntu official says it's no supported at this moment (source: wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install#Supported_devices_and_codenames)
So I came here to find other Linux os...

Okay - I will give it a try. But I realy can't imagine it's fast and stable enough for continuous running (what I am looking for)...
Firefox os sounds greate too! Thanks for the hint!
The complete Linux installer says it only works on certain supported kernels. I'm no expert, so is the stock kernel supported? I'd like to try Ubuntu on my rooted stock Nexus 7 2013. (32G)
Scroll down some and you would of found this.

Please help...
My Device:
Nexus 7 (2013) - cyanogenmod 4.3.1
Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus 7 using multirom.
It all went well and works well if you use a mouse with an OTG cable, I understand it was meant for developers but has anyone been able to install the tegra 3 drivers and keep unity/taskbar working?
When I install the drivers and reboot, it boots up and looks better but doesn't have unity or the taskbar. I can get into terminal with a keyboard and pretty much everything can open but its not exactly usable this way.
Thanks.

Which Tegra 3 drivers are you talking about? Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7 should already come with all the drivers it needs.
Its very slow and doesn't play videos, only sound. Also, in "about this computer" or something like that, none of the hardware or even the devices name is recognized. Here's a link to it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/nvidia-tegra3/16.0-0ubuntu3

Yes, those drivers are already included in Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7. They do have issues though (lots of screen tearing). Playing video shouldn't be a problem though if you have the right codecs installed.

I see, I installed the codecs. Might be a problem with vlc only. Thanks.
Edit: in "about computer" none of the nexus 7 hardware is displayed, I thought its strange since the version was made specifically for the nexus, is this normal?

Yes that's normal. Canonical ported Ubuntu to the Nexus 7 solely to test it and optimize it for low-spec devices. They didn't do a whole lot to polish it up and make it presentable for end users because that wasn't really their goal
Oh, let me offtop a little.
Is there any "easy" way to try out Ubuntu on grouper? I mean easy like flashing zip in recovery and then restore back to android...

Yeah man. Multirom is an app made for nexus devices that let's you multiboot ROM and distros. I've got cm11, ubunut and active plasma installed right now. Just read the how to's on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403 and download the Ubuntu 13.04 from that page. If you want a few other distros for multirom get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093797. It really is the easiest way to actually dual boot. And the dev is amazingly helpful. Don't hesitate to report a bug to him.

If I want to sideload an APK which version APK do I use for this tablet? I have gone to an APKmirror website and I see if i find an APK there are different types to download. I do not know which type architecture of APK I should download for this Fire tablet.
These are the types of APK architecture.
armeabi-v7a
arm64-v8a
x86
x86_64
Thanks for your help

HD 10 2019 have 64-bit CPU, you may try to install arm64-v8a, if application does not work - install v7a version.
A53/A73 are V8 arch

In short: arm64-v8a. The 9th gen HD 10 uses a big.LITTLE 4+4 config of Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57, both use Armv8A arch.
FYI:
armeabi-v7a: Arm's Armv7 arch, latest 32 bit arch.
arm64-v8a: Armv8 arch, 64 bit.
x86: Intel's 32 bit arch
x86_64: 64 bit x86
And the winner is?
I was just curious as to which version you got to work with your unit. Thank you.

I think i know how it works, just like with Fire HD8, the CPU is set to work in 32 bit only, that means we can't really use Armv8 apps and we have to use armeabi-v7a. That's my opinion which may be false considering that i don't really own HD10

Thanks, it's very simple to test, download any ARMv8 only app and see if it gives any errors during installation, if it will give somethin like this: "This app can not be installed on your Tablet", that means my thoughts are correct and we van only use armeabi-v7a apps

It is a 64 bit device but with 32 bit instructions, A.K.A we can only run armeabi-v7a apps

I see thank you for the guidance @Xinto
so whats the workaround or how do we go about installed 64bit apps because some dont have the 32bit variant
Per my earlier post - should the google service apk's be able to update themselves once installed or do they need to be manually updated via the tool? I get the notification on the tablet that they need to be updated or google services won't work. (essentially) If it matters, it's on a 10th gen HD 8.
Thx

I check AIDA64, which showed it in 32 bit mode. Also, Dolphin won’t install (64 bit only). This is a really weird deal. The kernel is compiled in 64 bit/aarch64 (at least the one I compiled from Samsung source is), but the user land is 32 bit. I have no idea why Samsung did it this way.

I have been thinking about it more and more and was curious if there was anyone planning on porting android to the steam deck.

Why not just install Android x86 on it?

An odin is nowhere near as powerful even at 9 w a loki is tempting but it wont be out for 6 more months

exactly
no need for porting, this device supports ACPI
bringing over some of its linux drivers to android x86 should be pretty simple as i believe its supported in mainline (amdgpu driver)
