Just rooted my Nexus 7, need advice for a few things. - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Like the title says, i rooted my Nexus 7 last sunday, after owning the device since last november.
I was quite scared about messing up everything trying to root the device, but everything went fine thanks to the XDA forum and youtube , i found usefull info on both of these site.
I installed Paranoid Android on it , the 3.10 version and yesterday night i had a pop up saying that i had an update available for my rom ( 3.15 version) so i downloaded it and installed it without a problem.
Also i installed a kernel on it the Faux123 kernel , there was 3 version available for android 4.2.2 so i took the Ultimate edition max, as shown here on this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804374
I have to say that since i rooted my device and installed Paranoid Android on it my Nexus 7 is a lot faster.
But i dont know if its since i installed the kernel or what but the battery seems to get quite hot , something that never happended when i wasnt rooted.
I got the Faux tool on the play store to control the cpu , i had the governors on performance for 1 day, but the battery was getting too hot like that so i changed it to interactive mode.
I have the Faux tool set on boot, i dont know if its correct, maybe i would like some help about how to manage the cpu.
Also when i update my rom yesterday i backed up all my apps with Titanium but since i wipe the data cache and the dalvik cahe when updating the rom i lost my boot animation( a custom one that i got from here on xda) and i had to reinstall my kernel because it was gone.
Is there a sort of way to update a rom without loosing the kernel and/or other thing like my boot animation.
Thanks in advanced.

If you are overclocking the heat problem is normal, it happens with all cpus when they are pushed beyond their limits. As long as you don't stay at the max value for your kernel for an extended period of time you should be fine.
Also if you have twrp recovery you can auto flash zips using the goomanager app.

I forgot to mention that since I rooted my tablet it froze 2 times and reboot by itself.

[Q] Nexus 7 stuck in boot after ELITE kernel JZO54

Hello! I created a new account with my new gmail account, I used to have a verizon fascinate and am no stranger to device tampering. My name is Gabriel and am a huge fun of the nexus 7! anyways, so i flashed over Clemsyn1.5extremeUndervoltedFINAL.zip using google nexus 7 tookit and twrp recovery. I received an OTA update getting me to JZO54 a while back and i think this is my issue. After the flash, it went to boot up and was stuck at the x screen the whole 8 hours i was asleep! i would very much like this kernel to work because im tired of choppy framerates! If someone has been in this situtation and has a kernel suggestion and maybe "how to" guidance. It will not boot into android and always gets stuck on the x, im in fastboot bode and im at a loss. Please help people, i use this thing for work and i work in a little under an hour haha
EDIT: Im in the team win recovery project ready to flash kernel but i dont know how to install a zip that isnt already in my internal storage! this is where im stuck. I also would like an overclocked 1.5 cpu/gpu to 600 kernel if possible, thats what the original one i had tried to flash was. Please help me install another kernel

[Q] which rom shall i put on my tablet

around 1 or 2 years ago i bought my samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch (p3100). it came with 4.0.4. it worked perfectly for all this time. a few months ago i installed final fantasy 4 after years. i got a cracked apk. after that my tablet started restarting by itself. i am using it and suddenly it restarts. i did factory reset. it didnt help. i then did another factory reset and i didnt put final fantasy 4. it still didn't help
i then put 4.2.2 then tried to root it. the rooting failed and boot sector got damaged. a shop fixed the boot sector, put 4.2.2 and rooted. unfortunately it didn't solve problem as it still hangs and restarts
i installed clockwork recovery and did complete wipe. i removed android from it. i want to flash a new rom
which one shall i get? i need it in english, to be stable and not hang and it should support my belkin bluetooth keyboard
there is raspisimon.no-ip.org/roms.php] . it shows some roms. i found out there is omnirom, pac rom, paranoid android, slimroms and aokp. which one do i choose?
the most important thing is i want it to stop hanging and restarting. why is it doing that? if that problem still happens after i put new rom i will "retire" my phone and buy galaxy tab 3
I had this happen to my 10.1" and thought it was a goner. I had to run an ADB script from recovery to actually reformat (not just wipe) the system and data partitions, but this is some next level stuff that if screwed up can truly brick your device...
Try Googling it because I don't feel comfortable sharing the info where people might mess it up and blame me.

You didn't clean flash
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
you probably didnt clean flash
you probably didnt let it fully sync
you probably didnt flash gapps right (or the right gapps)
first boot on custom roms can be sluggish as it runs a lot of background syncing with google and so, let it play for a while
and by the time you booted 2 l roms, your phone was already hot enough to thermal throtle kick in, so it was running probably at max of 1.1ghz

i have to disagree
i am no noob to flashing and i followed both instructions for both roms
they both do the same thing in the app store... apps download halfway and just get stuck
See logcat.

How far can I upgrade my GT-N8013?

If the following table is correct then I have a GT-N8013. I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 on it: (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU_N8013.tar.md5).
How close can one get to the latest version of Android and still have a working GT-N8013?
GT-N8000 - Wifi+3G+calling
GT-N8005 - Wifi+3G
GT-N8010 - Wifi (Except USA)

KK 4.4.2 is the last release from Samsung .

I've just picked up a used 10.1 (first edition) and am hoping to get it onto 5.1.1 or 6.01.
I see a custom CM ROM from Cyanogen, that states it's 6.0 official, but when I go to the site the release is really old for the 8013, and I'm not sure if it's been grouped in with the more recent beta group that is linked in the thread or if it's not.
I also see an older Cyanogen thread for 12, but that's pre 6.0 and appears to be somewhat abandoned.
My Note 3 is on phronesis 6.0.1, and I would like to get the Note 10.1 to as close to that as possible, without dealing with any major bugs.
Thank you for your assistance.
Some progress.
I managed to update mine to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip) via CWM v6.0.3.6 but Google Apps keeps crashing.
I've tried both open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160721.zip (Open GApps) and gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip. Both take hours to install and just keep crashing whenever you try to do anything.
Anyone have any luck getting cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip / and GApps.zip working?

I had it crashing initially too, with CM-13.
I reinstalled the ROM, root, twrp, everything. I also made sure to install the latest "Stock" Gapps, before rebooting once the ROM was in place. Since then I have not had any issues.
I did however have some issues using the nano package. Hope that helps.
Still no joy
I still can't get CM-13 to work. I use CWM. I made sure I was using the latest CWM 6.0.4.6.
I booted into CWM, factory reset and cleared cache. Flashed cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and flashed gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and rebooted.
No joy.
What actual gApps and CM-13 did you use? Maybe I need to use the same version of TWRP as you used?
I'm stumped.

I used the ARM 6.0 Stock version for CM 13. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads
I ended up swapping to the 2014 model because I got a good deal on a Verizon version (which is locked but oh well), so I don't recall the TWRP that I ran. It sounds like that sometimes gives people issues.
I do recall that using the nano version of gapps was not working for me. Could be a coincidence, but I had constant crashes when I tried using it.
This is the thread I used to grab the ROM and TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-lollipop-t3269375
It helps to read the installation notes properly
The problem(s) I was having were resolved by using twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013 instead of N8013-CWM-Touch-6.04.6. I also used open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160803 instead of nano but I really think it was TWRP that made everything work.
I'm now running cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 without any problems.
I consider this thread closed.

How did you get KitKat on n8013. It was never released and no one successfully flashed 4.4 n8010 to n8013. Odin keeps giving an error. Please I've been trying for years now since it's been 2 years since update was released and doesn't look like it'll ever release (**** yoi Samsung with your update **** and regions)
Anyone have any luck? I've had this tablet since 2013 and I stopped using it because it has always been such a laggy sluggish experience. I thought I would try putting an AOSP ROM on it to see if that helped. Everything is so old for this device that it's nearly impossible to find the old files, ROMs, recoverys, etc. I can't even get TWRP or CWM to work on it. Maybe it's not worth the trouble anymore.

Well official only kitkat if you are international (Samsung decided not to release a lot of device updates in the us for kit kat including the s3, galaxy light, and this one). However I think you can get CM 13.1, idk about anything more recent but there is a (slightly) active community for it still left. Its a shame that this flagship tablet was neglected. I hope it doesn't happen with future Samsung ones but I've avoided buying any. I still use mine on jellybean for basic internet browsing and games

Not sure if you're still looking but I just installed Android Nougat v7.1.2 using the instructions provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185119
I have a N8010 that topped out at 4.1.2. I flashed to a N8013 kernel/rom about 2 years ago which maxed out at 4.2.2 . I just recently found that link to the LineageOS build (Formerly Cyanogenmod) when I was contemplating buying a new tablet. The tablet was getting a bit sluggish so I decided to go ahead and blast it out and see what happened. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Had some issues getting the Recovery flashed but once I did, it was pretty smooth from there. I had backed up all the apps so once I got it booted and restored all the apps, I was surprised how responsive it is. Oh, and you can say goodbye to all those SD card issues that the Note 10.1 had since this version of Android integrates the external SD with the internal SD so everything gets installed on the external card. No need for apps like folder mount, etc.
I highly recommend it. The only issue is that you lose the integrated S-Pen functionality but you can reinstall some of those apps from the play store and bring back a lot of those features. Some 3rd party apps actually work better.
Good luck!
7.1.2 on GT-N80013
I am currently running an unoffical build I picked up here on xda it is an unofficial Lineage OS build. I haven't currently found any bugs... camera works, bluetooth works, wifi works... at least for me. The build number is 14.1-20170810-unnofficial-n8013

I'd appreciate a link to the rom you installed. Thx.
I'm interested as well I'm still running original os. Also wondering if the rom update works well on these tablets since they are older. As Android matures the os gets bigger which can impact performance on older CPUs.

I recently installed Lineage OS 14 and it is working great.
Tablet is stable, everything works, great battery life.
All devices work gps, etc...
The s-pen will not work like it did stock but there are apps you can get that seem to work better
Squid and Sketch for drawing....squid seems cool if you write with stylus
Install Magisk instead of supersu.

Since Android 8.0 its lagging

Hey guys. Two days before i updated my phone manually via ODIN on a german version G930FDBT2ERG2_DBT.
So i just let Google and Samsung restore all my stuff. Then i installed TWRP and root via the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and magisk v16.0.
After that i installed XPosed via the XPosed Installer app. I think since i did that or maybe before, every app needs hours to start and lags.
e.g. opening of Snapchat. Like it's closing so hard in background, that all services need to restart.
Instagram and OneDrive are shown many time as stopped working and i don't know why. Maybe Instagram caused by XInsta?
Okay i recognized OneDrive isn't even working anymore. Was already on Android 7 a problem. Does not seem to be compatible to something else.
You have any ideas or need any information? Let me know
try a factory reset. Personally, I use a modified stock rom (light rom) and it is very stale and very fast.

Antutu Benchmark gives me 164336 points, so it seems literally to be normally, but i know all loading times of Snapchat and Instagram and so on are so much longer.
I will try to flash it again and to start clean. Just the copying of the WhatsApp folder needs so much time.
So I'm asking again. Nobody else got problems? I still dont get the data mount error fixed, because when I install Magisk it's broke again and my whole phone seems to lag. I dont know if it's because of my Xposed modules or Magisk modules. But for example with the update everythings goes slower even if Antutu says something else. Snapchat needs years to start. Is it cause of dual messenger? But I don't think so. Or when i'm in the car and using Google Maps and Poweramp and tapping skip on my car radio for skipping in bluetooth there is a delay of 20 seconds sometimes so wtf.
Any speedups for S7 or Android 8 on S7???

Try an other rom ( official or custom ), m'y S7 exynos is smooth and stable.
For data partition, dis you flashed Tgp kernel ?
You Can finde a custom recovery in Tgp kernel thread, it fix that issue.
You need to download flashify from play store to flash the custom recovery.

I like TouchWiz. Is there any ROM that is similar? And never heard of another kernel to fix that. Is that kernel better? Last time i changed kernel and stuff was with my Galaxy S3

Tgp kernel gives a good battery life ans smooth UI.
If you didn't flashed a kernel, you need to wipe data partition by writing ''yes''
And you will Lost all you data, so you need to save you data on external storage, hard Drive or computer.

I have stock phone without root and my phone is getting really extremely hot since it was updated to Oreo.
Even by doing something like being here in the forum is getting so hot that is uncomfortable on my hand

If on stock then resources being consumed with bloat. If issues began around installation of xposed wouldn't it make sense to uninstall modules and xposed and see if improved over the next day? Restoring apps and data and rooting and moding is a lot of stress on device all at once, then it gets so warm it starts to go glitch. I've been there too. Best thing is to let it sit 30-60 min after set up finishes to cool off. Reboot too once restored data completes.
Almost makes me miss the rip out and replace with cool fully charged battery days of my S4 [emoji91]
