You could make your own. Takes about five minutes.

This is the one I made. It's stock decrypted, DM verity removed, se policy (made by @Tigerstown) changed out for traditional root to work.

Not sure. I'm running stock rooted. I don't use cm. It's completely stock so I'd imagine it should work ok. I can't say for sure though.
Give it a shot.

Just make a backup in twrp. Worst case if it doesn't boot just restore backup.

If it doesn't work you can also try a custom kernel. But I can get you a link to that tool later today if you want to go that route.

Kernel is the same as boot image. If you're already encrypted then you need to flash ex with no force encryption selected. Then format userdata. You will have to flash kernel after wiping data to get tweaks back.

Paranoid android back up

Is there a paranoid android backup similar to the AOKP backup? Would have asked in the paranoid thread but I don't have enough posts..
Thanks!

Can you explain us a little? What do you mean a backup? You mean the rom zipped where you can flash with Recovery? Yes.

Are you referring to making a nandroid backup in recovery, or backing up the home screens and stuff for your rom from the AOKP settings?

Dude, you have to elaborate on what you mean by backup.
Do you mean what CharliesTheMan said? Or what jamesst20 said?

he's most likely looking for the same thing that aokp has in the rom settings... and I do not know the answer to that because I don't do paranoia as it will destroia
but pretty sure he's talking about those special paranoia settings.

There is a pa backup in the settings menu, pa settings, backup and restore. Backs up the pa settings obviously

Sorry.. Got my drink on after I posted this. Yeah, like a complete back up and restore of all my home screens and settings when a flash an update..

I ran a couple aokp ROMs on my Gnex and they have an app that saves everything.. I guess I could use titanium, its been a while since I used it though. I don't think it saves home screens, does it?

Yes. It saves all the paranoid settings for each app. I don't think it backs up home screen layouts though, and it definitely doesn't back up apps or data. Usually I dirty flash updates to Paranoid though, so my home screens and apps aren't touched. I just wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the update and gapps. Then I restore my paranoid settings with the backup that we're talking about.

Make a Nanroid Backup, that will get you backed up everything you need.

Best bet is to install nova launcher or apex launcher, setup your screens how you like them, then back it up in the app. Regardless of what you flash you can restore your layout when you redo the launcher app.

Yes it runs very well. The only time I do a full wipe is when I'm changing ROMs. This strategy has worked well for me so far.

Just did it.. Everything seems to be working OK.. If you do a dirty flash, there really isn't a need to back up anything is there?

Well, like mamba_nz said, a nandroid backup can never hurt. I also use Titanium Backup to back up my apps and data.
But to answer your question, unless something goes wrong, no you shouldn't have a need to back up anything.

Q Native Linux Installer

If I use the native Linux installer to put Ubuntu on my new n7 will i lose android permanently or can I revert back to android if I don't like it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
You can revert back. It's explained on their site (Ubuntu's Wiki for the Nexus 7 Installer).

I don't see why not. I'd backup your ROM, then copy your backup to your computer (or entire internal sd), install Ubuntu for N7. To revert, reflash factory images and re-root, flash recovery, wipe and restore backup.
I'm not sure if it wipes out your recovery or not, I am assuming it does.

Never use toolkits..
Charge your phone for atleast 8-10hrs and then switch it on..
Trying going to bootloader and side load the zip file(search in generalsection for the zip file) and flash it.

This is the guide that got me started. For flashing I have always used Method 2. Using the flash-all.bat script in Method 1 seems to fail a lot of the time.

Flash the individual img files in fastboot, enable oem unlock in developer options and then unlock the bootloader before the flash.
There are also changes in the system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img files - file sizes are larger then MMB29X.. Flashing now..

extract all images and flash every images separately using fastboot commands.
Does anyone who flashed this noticed if there was an improvement in the radio performance?
I'm not sure if it is placebo or not, but in the region that I live is unstable to get signal from my carrier, but after flashing this new build today seems more stable than before, because I didn't lose signal since I booted the phone after the update.
I felt that on N preview too when I tested, but I didn't keep it because of other bugs.

It's the pixel build.prop . What I can't remember is if the "P" is capitalized in the build.prop for for 6p. I modified it for the Google assistant and now I want to change it back.
Fyi, yes I know it is a very minor and ignorant thing that I am asking. But, I don't know the answer so I figured I would ask XDA
