Possible to create a tutorial in creating mirroring for Nexus 7?
Link:
http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/
There's a tutorial in their site, i don't understand what you're asking 0_o
Are you looking for a noob guide?
Are you wanting a noob guide? If so I could make one, unless someone else finished their own already/before me.
If you haven't all ready, for now, root your nexus 7. And if you haven't all ready, install a custom rom like Cyanogenmod or paranoid android XD

I think that main problem here is to install their ROM on the device itself. I know it's only to make the delays as low as possible, but there are people who prefer either stock firmware and some custom ones like Paranoid or Cyanogen or else. Untill it'll become available as an app or be used widely in customs it won't be used to anything but tests.

Since everything I need to know is scattered across various threads and there is no specific information regarding my question AFAIK so I decided to post a new thread. Forgive a newb for being worried.
I've decided to root my N1 and am running the EPF24B European build. I just had some questions and concerns:
1. What ROM do you think is best? I think the majority of people like Cyanogen.
2. If I root my phone now and flash on Cyanogen, when Cyanogen releases a Froyo ROM how will I update? Does that happen through a dedicated app? OTA?
3. How do I keep all my current programs and settings? I've heard of Nandroid but have no idea what it does. I presume it has something to do with the NAND memory?
4. btw how stable is a rooted phone?
5. I've seen a number of guides here, but don't know whether or not they are the latest versions. Can anyone point me to a proper guide? Or are they all the same?
Thanks if anyone can answer this.

you might get flamed for this or get this thread closed but i will try to help u.
1)while cyanogen is the best rom in my opinion, froyo is the ****. no matter what. and when cyanogen finally puts his touches on it, it will be even better.
3)no you cant keep them. u would have to be ROOTED first and then you can use titanium backup to make a backup or all your settings and freeze apps. til then, nope u have to completely wipe and start over again. i know when i switch from rom to rom, google automatically downloads the apps that i have had installed before i switch roms if that helps you any.
4)rooted phones are VERY stable and even faster than stock. more memory, runs smoother. the only one that might not run as smooth is the Desire Rom because of sense ui but i love sense ui and have it on my G1 but yes rooted phones are stable.
5)i have followed the instructions of this guide that was for macs tho. u have to be a bit specific if your on mac or pc
I'm using a PC.
And thanks for your input.
btw you didn't answer question 2. If I update to CM now, will I be able to update OTA when a Froyo version comes out?
Saluton al vi,
I decided to come in the Android development with a porting, a thing that, according to what I heard, isn' too difficult to start. I read a bit this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713 and I believe it could be nice and a bit useful to port MIUI v4, since I haven't found any versions for our Galaxy Tab yet, maybe using CyanogenMod 9 official RC1 as base (since MIUI derivates from CM).
1) From which device should I port MIUI? Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 or anything else?
2) Will I have to change the resolution of every image to adapt a phone ROM to a tablet?
3) Would it be too difficult for a person like me, who have never created or ported a ROM before? Maybe did I misunderstood anything and is a porting a terribly difficult thing? I'm asking this because I've never seen a MIUI porting for Galaxy Tab.
4) If it's too difficult, what should I do to learn?
5) Finally, the obvious question: do I risk bricking my Tab, even if in the ROM there are neither primary nor secondary bootloaders?
I'm sorry if the questions are too many.

So my dad got this for me for black friday and at first I was really excited to get it but I learned that this isn't a tablet like the galaxy tab or ipad but an e-reader with some tablet like qualities.
As much as I like it, I'd like an android tablet to actually download apps and stuff from....
I hear you can root it/hack it to act as an android base tablet...
Is this something that is easy for a newbie person who is not familiar with rooting can do?
Where would I need to look at first for directions on rooting and installing the Android OS?
I just want a stock android build that allows me to download google play apps.

The Rom I use is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873 . To make it look like ICS I use a theme from the themes and apps section. There is a guide in the development selection that will walk you through the setup process and installation to either internal memory or Sd card.

Yes, you can either root the stock ROM so that it has more Android tablet features or you can put a custom ROM either on SD or internal memory replacing stock. If you just want to root, use Manual Nooter here. If you want to put on SD, go here or here. If you want to replace stock, go here.

Mirage is based on CyanogenMod 7. CyanogenMod 10 is also available.
I see some custom 4.2.2 Roms out, just no stock Roms yet.
My question is why not? With so many of us trying to get 4.2.2.

This, a thousandfold. If you can't do this yourself - meaning you choose to not learn how to do it yourself, more often than not, and expect people to hold your hand and just fulfill the GIMME GIMME GIMME nature - then why bother, stick with stock and be done with it.
Took me what, 5 minutes to do a clean install of 4.2.1, root it, install CWM, use CWM to install the 4.2.2 update, and remained rooted.
Is it really so tough to learn how to do some things yourself? I wonder...

Where are you getting a clean 4.2.1 install?
I restored 4.2.1 factory image, and got the message to upgrade in minutes. After that I managed to root with the usual method. Same adb commands, recovery and SU is working as in 4.2.1
4.2.2 is nice, but nothing really new
AW: No stock rooted 4.2.2 rom?
Wow, I'm really unhappy to see this dumb answers here at xda.
I'm really ashamed of this behavior.
I think, we don't have a stock rooted odexed or deodexed rom here, because the Nexus 7 isn't the real developer device. On nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus there are those roms.
I hope to have those rom here in a while.
Edit: seriously, guys, then giving bad ideas with stock 4.2.1 and updating this with ota.
Why nothing using the stock 4.2.2 directly? It is free to download.
Sorry, I'm really frustrated about those answers.
I don't use stock due to all the little hidden restrictions laying around it. I hate stock on any device :/

You can get the stock factory images directly from Google (search for "Factory Images for Nexus Devices" - xda won't let me post links), but they don't even have 4.2.1 anymore, just 4.2.2 . You *should* be able to install those directly.
I'm getting some odd "can't open /tmp/update.zip (bad)" messages on install though which I haven't gotten on prerooted roms.
Easy way to root the new stock 4.2.2 and install it full image.
To the OP there is a way to get the original full factory image for your nexus device. Here is the link.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You can find the nakasi image 4.2.2 and download the tar image.
Then I would download and install the google nexus 7 toolkit here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
Then install the sdk manager and update.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html
Once all is installed then in the toolkit make sure you install the android usb drivers. I would then reboot your pc.
Then take the factory tar image and move it into a folder called "put factory image here" in the nexus 7 toolkit program files.
Then follow directions to flash it. You can then after it is flashed follow directions to root it.
Now you have a stock rooted version of 4.2.2. That is what I did and it worked for me. I am no expert by any means. I hope this helps.
I am not sure why I can't post links to help but if I have done something wrong please delete my links to the google factory image. If you google nexus 7 factory image you should find it.

These things take a little bit of time. 4.2.2 JUST rolled out, and the code was later dropped to AOSP. It will take a few days for the minds (who have other stuff to do, like jobs, families, etc.) to set everything up.
Also, Wugs root toolkit makes this process pretty idiot proof. I'm unsure if he has updated it to include 4.2.2, but you should definitely check it out.

It has nothing to do with the 7 not being "the real developer device." Nothing is further from the truth. ROMs available for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 aren't here because the devs simply DONT HAVE A NEXUS 7. Why would a developer make a ROM for a device they don't own? It's the same reason there are ROMs for the Nexus 7 and not the others.
What I'm saying is you probably won't see those ROMs unless you take the time to port it yourself.
Developers on this site get really annoyed with those who have no idea how things work, and are also impatient for updates. This is a community, and we are given the opportunity to use free software these developers spend countless hours working on.
Learn to respect the developers and be as self reliant as you can. The tools are here at your disposal.
As the post above makes abundantly clear, 4.2.2 just rolled out yesterday and in roughly 24 hours Google posted the full factory images, and voila, now there's even a deodexed and and odexed and rooted too stock 4.2.2 ROM available - this stuff takes time, but it sure seems like some *cough*people*choke* are pretty damned impatient sometimes.
Kids... I tell ya.
omg why isn't cm11 out yet????
Yeah, where's those key lime pie custom roms ?

Wow!!
I don't want to start off by being annoying but I was really saddened to read this. I'm new to Android. I got the N7 for Christmas. My first Android device. Love it!
I only had it a couple of days before I had it rooted (much easier than iPod). I wish I would have known not to update to 4.2.2 straight from the tablet. I had no idea it was going to unroot it doing it that way.
Any suggestions on weather I should do a clean install, re-root then use CWM (I'm guessing it stands for ClockWorkMod) to do the update or just wait to root the 4.2.2 .
Obviously I'm going to have to reinstall all my stuff if I do a clean install.
Any advice on the best way to do this would be great. I guess it shouldn't be that hard to learn how to do the updating using CWM
Thanks in advance.

well buddy if i was you i would wait till wugs updates his tool kit it will be much easier but if your impatient like the rest of us just go in to wugs tool kit thread and download his kit it has an option to root since im assuming that youre unlocked all you have to do is re root it
Sorry, I'm sure this will have been posted before, but I used the search function and couldn't narrow the results to what I was looking for.
I have a UK EE spec S3 LTE (Kernel - 3.0.31-1153417, Build - JZO54K-I9305XXBMF1). I have seen MSkip's excellent S3 Unified Toolkit and I am close to getting the courage to root my device, ready to put a different firmware on it to get rid of all the crap that Samsung "think" I want.
I have a couple of questions first though:
1. Can someone recommend a ROM that is the closest to stock Android (JB of course) as I love the feel of the Nexus devices. Unless 'proper' stock Android is an option.
2. Does anyone know is installing a custom ROM will affect how my 4G data reception/operation.
3. How likely am I to make a total arse of it and brick my phone?
I'm sure I'll get a few "wrong thread". "Q&A"."Theres the door dimwit" responses, but I'm big enough and ugly enough, with a heavy duty flamesuit so I can take the insults!! I'm sure someone can help :fingers-crossed:

Well, bricking your phone is nearly impossible, just do whatever the instructions says and you'll be fine.
And the 4G reception won't be affected, since the only thing affecting data is modems, and AOSP ROM got no modems.
And as of question number 1, there's a ROM called SuperNexus, it's exactly like a Nexus 4. But it's rarely updated and sources from CM might be a bit old. I suggest using CM or Carbon since they're being frequently updated.
I hope I answered all of your questions!

Cheers, what do you use; nightlies? How often do you have to flash a new one? Are they as full of bugs as I imagine them to be?
This might sound like a stupid question, when you flash a new ROM, so you lose all your things like email settings, apps and stuff. Does the Google Play app come with a new ROM or do you have to get that as an APK from somewhere and manually install it?

CM is updated every night, hence calling them "nightlies".
CM is very stable, and I often flashed a new nightly every morning.
And question about google apps; you download a different zip file, this file contains all the Google apps.
So you first flash CM then the zip file with google apps.
