Android N Port - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Android 7.0 just came out, as many of you know, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me port it to the nexus 7 flo. Thanks

I'm sure it will only be a matter of time for people to start building for the N7-2013, especially the bigger groups like CM or PureNexus.

I would love a PureNexus 7 for Nexus 7.
We'll not have an official PureNexus for Nexus 7.

Slightly more work than N5, 8960 vs 8974. I have it booting, just no sound yet

someone already has 7.0 running but the camera, manual brightness and google play services keep crashing.

[Q] Sailfish OS Port?

I don't suppose anybody on here will know if there's likely to ever be a port of Sailfish OS for the flo?
I've read that Jolla has made a port for the nexus 4 and that they're working on ports for the nexus 5 and nexus 7 but I'm not sure if that's the 2012 or 2013 model.
Anybody know anything?

Well, the HADK is out now, so we can start working on that ourselves. I wonder if we'll be able to use it with MultiROM...
UPDATE: Tried building but realized there isn't a cm_10.1 branch for flo because it was released with 4.3 (10.2). I'm not sure if it's okay to fallback to 10.2 or if I might run into more errors later on but I'll see what happens.

Everything is "possible". But who's going to do the hard work? Not you, not me.
dear developer please port MIUI for our TAB S
What's with the obsession over the proprietary Android skins? It's just a glorified app launcher.
for my me not only app launcher but beauty of skin and I love it

Lineage 14 for Galaxy Nexus

Any chance of getting Lineage 14 for the Galaxy Nexus or is the phone too slow and RAM memory too limited for this version of Android?
Any developer is allowed to build Lineage using the work done on Unlegacy. But this is hard work and everyone here is a volunteer. Unless you know someone who can help, the best you can do right now is running Unlegacy. I don't know if there is any developer who will take a donation from you as a bounty to get if working, but you could message them to ask.
This thread is technically off topic for the development forum

There is also Unlegacy 7.1.1 for our GNex (that ROM was, in fact, my introduction to N on ANY hardware). So why am I not running it now? Simple enough - PureNexus 7.1.1 includes both the Pixel Launcher AND Google Assistant (which can be run together or separately; I run them as a tag-team). At some point, I hope to ambush some unsuspecting Pixel or PixelXL owner with my GNEX.

Does the Pixel Launcher work on the Marshmallow based PureNexus ROMs as well?

No idea - it is included WITH the 7.1.x ROMs (both 7.1.0 and 7.1.1). There are ways to add it to 6.x (or even 5.x) - still, I like 7.1.x because it actually feels more *whole* with both PL and Google Assistant in place - which is why I am still hoping to find a Pixel/XL owner to ambush here in VZW turf.

I think that it is better to have threads if people with various problems can help solve the problem.
He will be welcome if it is a thread for that.
If problem solving is possible, he will post for that.lol
Just remain patient.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250, "maguro") is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), which already got LineageOS nightly. They're very similar phones when it comes to features and exterior. Both have 720p AMOLED screens, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, approximation sensors, light meter, earpiece, microphones, headphone jack in exactly the same places. Both feature 1 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Both have HSPA+, but no LTE. They're also just half a year apart concerning their age (December 2011 vs. May 2012). They both feature an ARM Cortex A9 processor, though they utilize different SoCs (GNex = TI OMAP 4460, S3 = Samsung Exynos 4412).
The G-Nex seems to have a larger user base than the G-S3.

Android P for Nexus 5X?

Will we see a port of Android P Developer Preview for the Nexus 5X? As there wont be an P update for Nexus 5X, only for Pixel.
Well, probably I'd guess. Should we go from stock now to Lineage and then wait for P based ROMs?
I am so much upset
I am pretty sure Lineage os 16 ROM with Android P will come in time. But it is pretty early to talk about it. The official new OS version (Android 9.0) will come at August. So you can expect a custom ROM at October.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...upport-for-the-nexus-phones-and-pixel-tablet/
No Android P for the 5X, which means no preview either. They will be supported on 8.1 through November 2018 with security updates.
That's a 3 year run for the 5X, which isn't too bad.
now i'm so upset but we should been happy to join in rom porting community hhhhhhhh
I'm sure there will be custom ROMs for the 5X based on Android P... just a matter of when, not if
I've been working on it all day today. Imagine it will come fairly soon.

You can too

Port of Android P DP1 you will not see. After August, you will see some ports of Android P for our device

No, the last official Android Version for the Nexus 5X is Android O, because the system update support for the phone has expired in September 2017 (2 Years). Only security updates will release till September 2018 (3 Years).
I think Android P will release only as a custom ROM like LineageOS or ResurrectionRemix...
Linage 16 are confirmed for Nexus 5x and Nexus 5.
Did anyone see what is new in DP 2 of Android P? wow

I'm looking for a very stable and fluid ROM

Hello!
I just revivie my old Nexus 7 (flo) after four years of broken screen. So, all the apps updated to date, using stock Marsmallow means slow everywhere.... I just want to use it to read PDF articles and watch series when I am not at home. That's it. Dont really care the Android version.
Any sugestions?
Thanks!
