I am using the wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/flox/install/#repartition) to repartition and install LineageOS 20.

I saved the img files to my laptop. I am trying to sideload the repartition zip. I got this error message:

C:\android\platform-tools>adb -d sideload flo-deb_clamor_repartition_20201203.zip

adb: sideload connection failed: closed

adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...

adb: pre-KitKat sideload connection failed: closed

I have already rooted and unlocked bootloader using Wug NRT. I am trying to get the repartition zip file to do its thing. I'm thinking, maybe I should transfer the repartition zip file to my nexus 7 2013. Then flash with TWRP??

Should I wipe the Nexus? What kind of wipe should I do?

I found my Nexus 7 2013 yesterday after years of thinking i got rid of it (no idea where i found it or why it was where it was). Needless to say i was overjoyed.

I used CROSS to install LineageOS 18.1. Things seem to be running fine so far. Is there a kernel I can install to maybe get a bit better performance out of it? I went to try ElementalX but it doesn't seem there is a compatible version. Can't seem to find much else with 100% certainty.

If i wanted to downgrade from 18.1 is the process fairly easy?

I would very much like to send a few APKs to my Nexus 7 2013. However, the laptop will not automatically open folder to view files I do have this setup to do so)….This happens with ANY ROM I use! The laptop does indeed see the Nexus 7; It’s in the status bar, but NOT visible in Explorer. I have tried in bootloader, recovery, in android..etc. However, when I boot into TWRP, then the laptop automatically opens a file explorer to view files. I can then transfer to the tablet. This is ssooo darn frustrating! What am I missing? Thanks ALL!! YOU are APPRECIATED!

Windows 11, Nexus 7 2013 flo with LineageOS 14.1

I just received a new to me V2. I have updated to 6.0.1. I am unable to update google play services. I click on it and it shows Server Error and a button to retry. Maybe I Should just root and install a custom rom...would that be better? I've rooted before.

I have a Nexus sitting in front of me. That's a few years old. I put it on charge for 10-15 minutes and didn't see anything, will it turn on,how long do I leave it.?

hey folks,

I see a lot of you chatting about putting other OS' on their Nexus 7 (2nd Gen).

Is there a guide to do that that really takes you by the hand. I've rooted before, so I'm not completely lost, but it's been a minute and could use some straightforward guidance

thanks!

So, i have dusted off a pair of nexus7's that i have, trying to set them up as single-use devices. Honest stock 5.1.1 is fine for me, and as long as play services isn't activated, the usage seems fine, so i really just need to install f-droid.

Unfortunately i hit a problem with the lack of cert on the device. I followed the guide here and was able to get certs on at 'user level' i.e. it still required pattern to work - but it didn't actually work, at least not within chrome, and downloading and using f-droid was still not possible.

The guide above mentions installing them system wide, so i unlocked the bootloader, but there is no SU on this device, the notes above simply say:

Some phones' Android systems do not include this program. In such a case, you have to store all certificates added as the user ones.

So, where do i go from here? I can't use google play, because the updates it performs make the device unusable. I can't download and run f-droid as, a) i have difficulties downloading without a good cert, and if i try to sideload f-droid its lack of cert means it cannot populate. (for the record i am trying to install a 5.1 version of f-droid)

Followed this guide. Tried different BiGapps. If Anyone successfully installed BiGapps, can you provide your version of the installation steps?

EDIT: I did not understand the video instructions very well and got the instructions wrong.

I hope it will be helpful for you, I have seen many people having similar issues. So Make sure when you are installing the BiTGApps, it is arm, and called CORE; then make sure you have the correct android version with in my case is 13. Guid stated that V2+ should work on android 13.

Hello I would like to know if there is a way to run Netflix in full HD on my Nexus 7 2013? I'm on lineage os thanks

Please advise: Do I need to replace battery or ?

​

I'd like to use my beloved Nexus 7 as a "Now Playing" screen for my music streaming device. The layout that works best for that is Portrait Mode.

Anyone know of a wireless charger that will work in Portrait Mode?

Thanks!

I have a Nexus 7, the 2013 model with camera, that i want to revive (it sat in a drawer the last couple of years) and use it for surveillance. I want to be able to install ivms 4500 app and use it to monitor the inside of an x-ray room. I made a factory reset and now, i cannot open google play store. I read a little bit around here, but i’m a n00b in android, i’m an apple user, and want to ask what can i do ? Can i install a new android OS ? To be able to access play store and find my camera app ? Are there any step-by-step guides to do this ? What would be a good solution to update it and make it faster ? Thank you

Like I said in the title, my Nexus 7 2012 Wifi ironically doesn't connect to wifi.

I have tested a lot of things, like static IP, different OS (First stock, then Lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) and both have the same problem. It just tries to connect, then says saved, tries to connect but goes to save etc. etc.

Weirdly enough I can get it to connect to my phones hotspot, which has the same security (WPA2-Personal). I want to use my little old tablet as a Spotify device to connect to over wifi and listen to music on my stereo on. Anyone got any tips/tricks/fixes? I've seen other forum posts but they always kind of end in a dead end.

I still have my first tablet that I ever bought, a first gen Nexus 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_7_(2012)

The last time I had it turned on it was pretty much unusable because it was so slow. I don't remember if I had a custom rom on it or not. I know that I tinkered with it in the past, but forget what's on it.

I was cleaning and came across my Nexus 7 2nd gen. I charged it up and wanted to see what was up with my old friend. It has AOKP on it and it says it Team Recovery Project v2.6.3 0. I think this isn't up and running anymore I can't get play store to work, I guess a common problem. I probably just want to use for surfing and maybe some games. How do I move forward getting Play store to work or just getting new apps on it? I'm not the greatest of tweakers but I can follow a guide pretty well. The tab is on Android 4.4.2 atm, it tried to download an update but couldn't Thanks in advance. Long live N7.

Hi guys I have a nexus 7 gen 2 tablet that I found recently while moving and wanted to use it solely for Spotify but it’s painfully slow, I did a factory reset and the only app I gave installed is Spotify and it’s slow laggy and freezes for a few seconds before finally working more or less okay, is there anything I can do to speed it up?

I read somewhere recently that someone couldn't get their US carrier to activate a Nexus7 LTE. Anyone know the lowdown on this in 2024?

My old Nexus 7-2013 is suffering from HW issues now and it's still on CyanogenMod android 6. 😁

Recently picked up another one (WiFi 16GB) and successfully repartitioned and installed LOS 18 on it. Wondering if I should bother looking for an LTE 32GB version, or not. I don't plan on doing a lot of internet things with it but it would be nice to be able to install an update or check the news etc when not in range of WiFi.

Thanks

Hello there, I'm planning to revive my original Nexus 7 (the one without a rear camera) to use it for studying, watching videos, and reading documents, among other things. When I turn it on, it currently runs a version of Android (I think it's 11) that makes it very slow, so I believe I should install a different version. This tablet was with me during my youth, and I would like to give it a second chance. Any suggestions?

Edit: i've the Nexus 7 2012 me370t, with 32GB

Can anyone recommend an Android tablet with high performance and similar form factor as the Nexus 7? It seems like they're all 10 inches or bigger these days.

Can anyone provide their partition table layout for a 2012 N7 wifi? I was trying to expand one of the partitions and ended up accidentally messing it up.

I have a 2013 that I bought years ago and never really used. I ended up preferring my phone for reading etc. and it has just sat since.

I recently bought a brand new screen replacement for my Nexus 7 2103 flo because the old one become unresponsive to touches on the right side of the screen and touch screen was broken. I successfully replaced it and tried to turn it on, but it just wont.

It gives some signs of life though:

• It gets hot if I hold power button for a long period of time
• Led flickers if I unplug the battery, connect it to a charger and hold the power button

I tried to powercycle it by holding all possible hardware key combination but to no avail. The only thing I did not tried is to jump-start the battery.

Anyone knows which part can cause the problem so I can order replacement parts and tried to save it, because I'm very attached to it?

If it is any help, it was running fine latest Lineage OS before breakdown.

I have a 2012 grouper that needs help

Years ago I replaced the USB connector and after the replacement the tablet was never detected by a computer anymore (no driver issue ) ( it might have been the conector part or maybe I blew up something in the board like the USB chip I don't know It does charge tho

But it started the rom, so I was able to update thro downloading the files ... And loading from recovery Some old version of twrp

I updated several times.that waydownload Recovery > update recovery flash rom etc

But now I tried to flash a recovery .. and it doesn't go to recovery anymore .. so I'm stuck with a no USB no recovery tablet ..

It goes.to fastboot but because USB it can't be detected by PC It boots to android 7 and I can activate adb over TCO which works ..

So my question after a long brick wall of text is

Can you boot a recovery from ADB on wifi without going thru fast boot ?

Rom.is not rooted sadly

So basically I just have this time until the end of times ..

Any advice besides letting it go ? ? 🤣

Hello, I am wondering if it’s is possible to install the OS from the recent Amazon Fire tablets on a Nexus 7? As we have one new fire tablet and a Nexus 7 that could be used as a spare kids tablet.

Thanks.

My system partition is to small for lineage os 15.1 + openGapps i tried the resize filesystem option but that only gave me 3 more mb is there any other way to resize it?

Found the old 2012 Nexus, I've done a reset and it looks OK to me until I connect it to WiFi, things getting extremely slow so it's not usable. My plan was just to use it as smart home controller or photo slideshow device, any workaround?
