[ROM][7.1][UNOFFICIAL] CM14.1 for Nexus 7 2012 (grouper)
*** Disclamer
By downloading and installing this ROM you agree that you do so at
your own risk, and that you understand that it probably voids your
warranty. (But does anyone still have an active warranty on this 2012
device?)
Introduction
@AndDiSa's AOSP 7 builds look pretty nice, but I needed something that seamlessly upgrades from CM13. @GtrCraft who provided our CM13 builds has moved on to other devices, so we need a new CM maintainer. I may not be the right person for that job... but I can at least share the build I made for myself. Perhaps someone will be motivated to join the fun or even take over.

Installation instructions
Back up your data and previous ROM with TWRP 3.0.2.
Download from link below.
Wipe system, cache, dalvik.
Also wipe data unless you are coming from CM13.
Install the ROM.
Optionally add opengapps-pico.
With default settings it will give an error about insufficient space. To avoid that, first copy this gapps-config-grouper.txt file, perhaps edit it to your taste (instructions here), then copy to the device in the same directory as the opengapps zip. The opengapps updater-script will look for it there when you install opengapps.
Reboot.
WAIT for system to settle before you decide it is slow. Some of the app optimization which used to happen during initial boot now seems to happen in the background. When it's finished, responsiveness will improve.

Initial posting.
seems to be pretty stable so far but i cant get pico gapps to install even after installing the rom with the gapps-config.
There is a 3.4 kernel build for grouper which was helpful for cm13. Can you incorporate that into your build ?
why is this not even on development thread?
is this based on anddisa's device,vendor trees? cuz that build is super fast. i am downloading anyway.

Sorry about that. I meant to say .gapps-config goes with the gapps zip, not with the ROM. Corrected, and also edited for clarity. If it still doesn't work for you, look at the log file it generates in the same folder as the zip, and make sure it says it read your config file.

I had originally put it in development, but it took me too long to fill in the devdb new project page... after it made me reload the page and reenter some things, apparently I wound up in general by mistake.

Yes, when I saw how fast @AndDiSa's AOSP 7 ROM was, I had to try a CM14 build. I'm using his kernel and vendor trees, and many of his recent device tree commits cherry-picked into a fork of @GtrCraft's CM13 device tree.
Requested mods to move this to development section.
Also can't install gapps with the given script. Anyone up for new gapps zip?

Please pastebin your resulting open_gapps_log.txt, and send me the link . You should find the log file on the device in the directory where you had put the gapps zip and config files. For comparison, mine is here.

will post it in the evening, i dont think gapps is picking up the config file, should the config file go inside the zip file? i am just pasting it outside the zip file.
Frankly the ROM is working fine, however i have yet to lock gps and test it which is my main usage.
After seeing CM booting, i would love to see other derived ROMs (AICp, RR etc)
Maybe you can post a guide others may build it too (i dont have the disk space or the bandwidth to do it anyway)

Not in the zip file... Just alongside, in the same folder on the device (or usb stick if you install via OTG) where the Gapps zip is.

The config files name needs to be "gapps-config.txt" or ".gapps-config". I just tried the first option an gapps installed just fine!

I was having issues as well with the config file. I tried putting it in all kinds of places, but no dice.
I ended up using the Aroma Open Gapps package which worked great.
Haven't tried much on this ROM yet, but things feel snappy.

ah yes.. Aroma Gapps, which keeps on cancelling this huge package. oh well will try renaming the text file
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------
ok this was even more weird, i copied the files in a separate directory (the config file was in txt format as suggested by @gothier) and this worked. earlier everything was in the root directory and nothing worked no matter was was the file extension, hidden or not.
Thanks OP.
I've successfully installed the ROM on my Grouper device.
Also, I've installed Opengapps via CF's Flashfire app and it worked very well.
Thank you for the rom.
I updated from CM13, install gapps with config , only rename it to ".gapps-config-grouper". I use all from USB drive via OTG for all my android devices.
All work fine.
Even in pico gapps package I had to exclude some apps so it could be installed. I've written in in gapps-config.txt this way:

@aaopt, it seems anddisa has a made some changes wherein camera is also working, maybe you can update the same for CM14.1?
It doesnot happen always. Sometimes only.

Update: I've started working on my own ROM. So, I'll be focusing on that project for a while. You can check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rhinonized-textnow-rom-moto-e-surnia-t3418606
CM 13 offers AOSP type default build properties that at times pushes our Moto E over it's hardware limits, causing freezing, stuttering etc...
I've dealt with these issues constantly on CM 13 Nightly builds, during heavy usage. I decided to port Motorola's Stock Build tweaks to CM 13 to see if they helped the above issues, during heavy usage and I'm happy to report that it has increased CM 13's stability drastically. No more poor performance issues with multitasking!
I flash CM 13 Nightly daily, so, I'll post a new build.prop zip file after I flash, that you can flash, after flashing the new Nightly.
Instructions:
1. Flash the below zip file after flashing the correlating CM 13 Nightly, with matching build number. Example: 20160625.
2. Wipe Dalvik and Cache then reboot.
Note: Property changes are tagged in the below build.prop file. Please unzip and look over the file to review changes.

Google CM 13 Smooth Project
I use Google Now and the Moto E on CM 13 has a lot of Google Now Launcher and Google App redraw issues, due to our RAM constraints, causing a sluggish experience when switching from memory intensive apps, especially when using encryption.
Here's a simple flashable zip, containing a local.prop file that attempts to lock Google Now in memory, reducing redraws, creating a much smoother experience for those that use Google's Launcher and CM 13 on the Moto E.
My goal in this thread is to provide simple flashable zips on top of CM 13 Nightlies that increase stability, when using Google and CM 13. ?
Instructions:
1. flash in your favorite recovery on top of any Lollipop/Marshmallow Rom, when using Google Now Launcher.
No Computer CM 13 Install
For those having issues installing CM 13, getting abort error ”Sprint CDMA variant detected! Reboot into Bootloader Mode, connect your device to PC” and don't have access to a computer, follow the steps below.
Instructions:
1. Install "RAR" from the Android market
2. Download CM 13
3. Open RAR
4. Remove/Rename .txt from the below updater-script
5. Cut and paste the below updater-script file in the CM 13 zip in this location: META-INF/com/google/android
Note: Do not unzip the CM 13 file, cut and paste the updater-script directly in the CM file using RAR to avoid corrupting the CM zip.
Side Note: The CM zip should recognize your carrier automatically during boot and use the proper apns-config.xml file. ?
Updater-script changes:
Replaced "abort" with "assert"
Reason: It's just the simplest way to force install CM 13 and still use Sprint during boot.

Interesting find my friend, how did you think about doing it this way?

I'm not sure what you mean but there's only one way to find out, make a backup of your current rom, then give what you're trying to do a try. If it doesn't work just restore your backup.

Interesting workaround. If it works, it's even more evident that we're dealing with the 3.0.101+ kernel. I'm still planning on going through with that kernel backtracking to see which version or commit started this mess, and once I find it, report it so we can hopefully work through this. IIRC, those files were compiled against the 3.0.72+ kernel, so they might be a little old. Can someone try out the patch and see how it affects stability?

I already forked the repos prior to the post-3.0.72+ commits. I'll link in the manifest file I created if you're interested in building against them.

Here's the manifest file for building against those repos. I'm going to backtrack through the commits by forking the original repos at different points in time. Obviously, the old repos I forked before the 3.0.101+ commits are going to stay as they are for the time being until the issue is pinpointed and fixed once and for all. After that, I plan on deleting the manifest file and repos. Make sure that you run repo sync --force-sync on your build tree after replacing the manifest file and make clean to revert the kernel, or you'll still have remnants of 3.0.101+ lurking in the builds.

Like I said to @alexander_32, I tried reverting the u-boot.bin commits that Transi made a couple months back for the aicp build. It booted, ran really slow, and OpenCamera still saw the camera module as being in use. Using the current boot binary things run nice and fast again. The build I ran off last night testing a couple more things also did not have any effect on camera...

I tested a couple of camera specific build tags in bowser common and tate. They didn't work. When I get a chance later on, I plan on diving into it again.
@alexander_32: Not sure why, but I can't boot using this with the rom you posted here. It stays on the boot logo indefinitely. After a clean install and making sure it boots fine once, I'm manually flashing the boot.img in the zip and copying the contents of the modules dir while fixing permissions afterwards. Is that all there is to it or am I missing something?

You just extracting all files from camera fix, then update cm13.0 flashable zip with files from camera fix and flash flashable zip. It worked on Temasek's CM13. I'll do more researches and inform about results.

Ah, I read the OP wrong and wasn't merging into the rom zip but manually into existing installation. Though even now, I still can't boot after trying it with plain cm13, beanstalk, or temasek. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 with cache and data both f2fs if that makes any difference.
Has anyone else had success so far and if so with which roms?

I'm thinking it doesn't work on transi's RR or CM13 builds because he disabled the camera with some commits that he hasn't pushed to GitHub. Either way, those builds are built with 3.0.101+, and the patches you brought in are from 3.0.72+. It would make sense if they didn't boot after patching (especially if you flash the boot.img). What happens if you just replace the files in /system and leave the boot image intact?

I tried that yesterday, and it results in never getting to the boot animation, so the kernel never loads.
5 from 7 for today. A new link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424949408
During the last few months I have been testing several Nougat rom/kernel/modem/su combinations for the hlte N9005 international.
I created this thread to share my setup, hoping it will help others to save the many hours of research, trial, error and frustration I had before reaching the jackpot.
I have 3 hlte phones at my disposal, two myself and one my wife. All three are running trouble free.
By using my setup you will get:
Absolutely no freezes, reboots or FCs
Stable root and Safetynet checks ok
GPS fast and stable fix - average 5 seconds worst 20 seconds
Low battery drain (of course actual drain depends heavily on your apps and usage)
Everything works (AFAIK - you tell me what does not)
Keep in mind my main goal is to provide a stable setup. I will do my best to update this thread regularly, but it is very unlikely I will be using the very latest builds available, mainly because before I adopt a new build it must be thoroughly tested.
If you're interested head to the guide in Post #2
Why Resurrection Remix?
RR has, IMHO, the best combination of features and stability. The RR team has been around for a long time without the ups and downs of other roms. For the Note 3 we are in a very fortunate time, with an official build and many unofficial builds to choose from.
Since RR is based on LineageOS, it is available for most devices. It is very likely when we finally retire our Note 3 and move to another flagship, RR will be there for it.
Why Not Oreo?
Well, thread title says it all.

>>>>>>> I know - screenshots below are from a previous setup. I will update then sometime in the future.
Rock Stable Setup
Using Resurrection Remix
Revision 11 - 11-Mar-2018
Phase 1 - Prepare for install
Here I am assuming you have a Windows PC. If not you will need to use google search to adapt my instructions to your available OS/hardware. The PC is only required for this phase.
1 - Samsung USB Driver:
Make sure you have the Samsung USB driver installed in your Windows PC.
If not download and install the latest driver:
- SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.65.0.exe
2 - Odin:
If you do not have Odin, get it here, unpack to any folder and create a shortcut pointing to Odin3 v3.09.exe.
There are newer versions of Odin, but they may have issues with our Note 3. Odin v3.09 is the one to use.
3 - TWRP
New to TWRP? Read this guide: TWRP: the complete guide to using Recovery on Android.
If you do not already have it, install TWRP 3.2.1-0. Download it from https://dl.twrp.me/hlte. More info here.
If you no not have TWRP installed download the .tar file and flash with Odin.
If you have an older version download the .img file and use your current TWRP to flash the image into recovery partition.
4 - Update Bootloader and Modem:
You have to install latest Nordic Countries Bootloader and Modem. I have prepared a "tar.md5" with both.
And yes, modem is not country or region dependent. Rest assured Nordic will work no matter where you are.
Get it from here: N9005_Nordic_XXUGPQB1-Modem_XXSGBQD1-Bootloader.tar.md5
Updating bootloader and modem is a must!
If you don't you may get the "SIM Card not detected" error and GPS fix will be slow or not work at all.
There are many sure ways to flash modem and bootloader so that they "stick". What always works for me is:
- Restart into Recovery (TWRP)
- Select Reboot->Power off
- Turn on directly into download mode by holding Down Arrow+Home+Power at the same time
- Connect phone to PC
- Flash with Odin using the AP slot
Now you should check if update was successful. The best way is to install the app Phone INFO, run it and select the Firmware tab. The correct Bootloader and Baseband (modem) above should be displayed. There is a screenshot in first post.
If the update did not work repeat the steps carefully until it does. You may, as a last resort, after powering off remove the battery, wait for about 30 seconds, reinsert the battery and then turn on directly into download mode.
Thanks to @Hereiwas for the files I have used in previous setups. Check out in his thread Bootloader and Baseband for SM-N9005.
If you need more info on flashing modems and bootloaders also take a look at @jcadduono thread [Direct Download] Latest Bootloaders & Modems.
PHASE 2 - Download the necessary installation files
1 - Resurrection Remix Nougat rom - thanks @vidwhal:
Download from here: RR-N-v5.8.5-20180101-hlte-Official-vidwhal.zip.
Please note that I am not the rom builder or developer. All credits go to @vidwhal and the RR Team.
This is the rom thread: [ROM][HLTE][UNOFFICIAL][OMS]Resurrection Remix N.
Please note this build may not be the latest available. The goal here is to have a stable rom that you will be able to use as a daily driver with no issues for a long time. Only after a lot of testing a new build makes into my setup.
I modified the zip to remove Magisk. This will make it easier to use newer or beta Magisk builds if necessary in the future. Remember Safetynet is a cat and mouse game and changes happen fast.
Special thanks to @tarkzim, who produced the RR builds used in earlier setups. He did a fantastic job of producing a very stable build without a Note 3 device for tests. His builds led me to create this thread.
2 - Magisk v16.0 Official - thanks @topjohnwu):
Magisk Installer: Magisk-v16.0.zip
Magisk Manager: MagiskManager-v5.6.1.apk (optional - you might need it in the future)
Magisk Uninstaller: Magisk-uninstaller-20180222.zip (optional - you might need it in the future)
if you decide to use newer builds do it at your own risk. I strongly recommend to keep these.
3 - Gapps:
Open Gapps Pico: open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180311.zip
Not much to say here. Open GApps FTW.
Again the above build is the one I tested. Use this for a failproof installation, but feel free to use a newer build. Usually it will not be a problem.
I prefer Pico Gapps so I have the bare minimum as system apps. And I live by the KISS Principle. All other gapps I need are installed as user apps so I am allowed to use Titanium Backup to backup/restore them with data.
If you would rather use another Gapps package just pick the one you want. All packages should work but the Aroma. Aroma does not work in TWRP 3.
4 - Xenial Kernel - thanks @Jairus980:
Xenial Kernel: [Hlte][Xenial-b26x][02.01.18][N7.1-GSM].zip
Kernel thread: [Kernel][Xenial][Hlte].
With Xenial you have some fixes like the correct charging current in lock screen and working Gravity, Linear acceleration and Orientation sensors. Of course there is a lot more under the hood. If you plan to do some kernel tweaking Xenial offers more options.
If you do flash Xenial kernel do not report any bugs in RR thread. To report a bug you must first go back to stock kernel by dirty flashing RR and Magisk. If you are still able to reproduce the bug then you may post it in RR thread.
Even if there is a newer kernel release, you should keep using the build I posted here to have my tested stable setup.
Special thanks to @gj86 for his Synergy Kernel, used in my previous setup. It is also a great option.
5 - GPS Fix:
In this setup there is no need for a GPS fix. GPS is fast and rock stable as it should always have been.
But you really must update your modem to my recommend Nordic QB1 or GPS will be slow or not work at all.
Do not worry about your current location. The modem will work not matter where you are.
Latest RR builds somehow made GPS fix slower. I checked the gps.conf file and it is exactly the same as in previous builds.
I have my own optimized gps.conf, prepared originally for Marshmallow CM13, with a few more adjustments for Nougat.
After installing my gps.conf in latest RR build, gps fix is back to normal, taking only a few seconds.
I prepared a flashable zip to install my gps.conf. It saves existing gps.conf and put mine in its place.
Download it from here: Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip.
PHASE 3 - Backup!!
Now it is time to make backups of your current setup.
Use TWRP to make a nandroid backup. You will need it if something goes wrong. If you are paranoid like me make two and save them on your PC hard drive.
If you use Titanium make also a Titanium full backup. Remember that you should never restore system apps or settings. Use Titanium only to restore user apps and xml backups of wifi passwords, call log and sms messages.
The steps to install the new ROM will not erase your internal storage, but why not make a backup of everything to your PC or an OTG USB Drive.
PHASE 4: Install
- Make sure you have updated TWRP and your bootloader and modem as instructed in phase 1
- Make sure you have all files downloaded from phase 2 in your phone - preferably in external sdcard
- Make sure you have backups!!
- Reboot into Recovery (TWRP)
- Use advanced wipe to wipe System, Data and Cache
- Flash RR-N-v5.8.5-20180101-hlte-Official-vidwhal.zip
- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING
- Reboot System (be patient - it will take a while, around 3-4 minutes)
- Pick your preferred launcher
- Check Settings->Date & Time and make sure it is ok
- Reboot into Recovery (TWRP)
- Flash [Hlte][Xenial-b26x][02.01.18][N7.1-GSM].zip
- Flash Magisk-v16.0.zip
- Flash open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180311.zip (or the one you prefer)
- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING
- Reboot System (this time it will be faster)
- Go to Settings->Accounts and add your google account
- Customize your other settings
- Run Magisk Manager and check if SafetyNet passes
- If not disable/reenable "Magisk Hide" option in Magisk Manager Settings and try again
- Restore/install apps/data
- PROFIT!

wow, nice to see that someone using and "sharing" my builds
but a little tip for you, maybe you can ask me first before you post something are modified from me, no offense and i saw that includes my name on it.
just remind you and i think i will keep building this when i'm free, anyway, thank you for posing this. all good.
EDIT: also i think there is no need for removing magisk separately, it's fine for flashing newer magisk over the older one.

Sorry, you are absolutely right.
Thanks for being cool with it.
The main point in changing the rom zip is removing the magisk manager system app. It is a little tricky for noobs to remove the system app to be able to install the v5 beta Magisk Manager.
And thanks again for making your fantastic RR build available.
Thank's for your work. I installed all, but then I had a problem. When I try to open settings/apps, it crashes everytime....

This does not happen in my phones.
In my work phone I have 600+ apps installed. It takes a while to open but no crashes.
If you post a logcat I may be able to help.
I reinstalled everything, and before made a full wipe, also of the internal storage. And the problem was no more present! Wow! And thank you again...
I checked AFH and have 30+ downloads of installation files.
Any more success or failure cases? Please let me know.
This might be a silly question: You wrote I should download the latest NORDIC COUNTRY Bootloader and Modem.
Is this also correct if im not living in an other region or should I download the one from my Country? Thanks.

AFAIK it should work for you no matter where you are.
I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil and use it.
If it does not work for you just flash another one.
I tried the Nordic ones and everything seems to work. Not a killer but would be great: is there a way to get SPen functions inclidung Air Command? Thanks for the help.

To use Sammy Spen apps/features you need a Touchwiz based stock rom.
There are some apps with similar features for AOSP roms.
Many users say the best is SPenCommand developed by @emandt. It is paid but users say that the app is well worth the price.
Check the SPenCommand Google+ Comunity.
Great post. I don't see google assistant working, any clue?

I installed SPenCommand but the App doesn't open. When clicking the Icon nothing happens. Anyone knows about this Problem or knows another app for this?
Beside that everything (incl. Batterylife) seems great on this first day of testing.
I have followed your step to instal, wipe dalvik/art, system, data & chache. Flash ROM then reboot.
I got 'Could not do normal boot'.
Enter TWRP again and instal synergy kernel and reboot, I still got 'Could not do normal boot'.

I have never used SPenCommand myself. Just read good things about it many times in other threads. Try to search and get help from people who are using it.
You may also check these apps: Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) and CM S Pen Add-on(ROOT).
And this guide on them: The Ultimate S Pen Customization Tool for Your Galaxy Note 3.
But be advised that I have no experience using these apps. Just found them using google.

Sorry I can not be of help here. I only have the hlte N9005 international Note 3.
Maybe you could replace Synergy RC9 by a kernel that you are sure works with your N900S.

Hi,
This is my first thread as a dev so please accept my appologies if there's an established way to make this and I'm not doing it.
I managed to create a flashable zip to add the official OnePlus Camera, OnePlus Camera Service and OnePlus Gallery packages to an existing LineageOS 15.1 rom.
Maybe this was already availble somewhere made by someone else but I couldn't find it so here I upload it and share my version of it.
Instructions:
1. Remove any phone protection (fingerprints, schemas...) prior to anything else
2. Reboot to TWRP
3. Flash op5t_camera_patch.zip (make a backup if you want before)
4. Wipe Cache/Dalvik when proposed
5. Reboot system
6. Open the OnePlus Camera, this will create the config files in /data/data/com.oneplus.camera with correct permissions. At this step, portrait mode is not enabled yet, this is normal.
7. Long press the OnePlus camera icon and open the infos of the camera app, and force close it.
8. Extract the data-data-com.oneplus.camera.zip archive.
9. Inside you will find a folder com.camera.one/shared_prefs
10. Copy the XML files of the folder com.oneplus.camera/shared_prefs/ from the zip to your device /data/data/com.oneplus.camera/shared_prefs/ (replace existing files, may require root)
11. Now you can use the OnePlus Camera and the OnePlus Gallery! And Portrait mode should work.
Enjoy
Caution:
- Please don't flash over non-LineageOS roms! It could overwrite some important files and cause issues. I personally use the MicroG fork of LineageOS with no issues. Also, it has been tested only with the latest LineageOS builds (starting from 2018-05-14).
- This is only for the OnePlus 5T. It may work for the 5 but I cannot test it. Also this is the APKs from the 5T and there's no guarantee they will work with another device.
Notes:
- This is a work in progress, at the moment there are issues with HDR Auto, optical zoom and portrait mode not being 100% functional.
- Don't take me for responsible about any problem that may arise, this is your device, and only you can decide what you flash inside. That said, it should not cause any issue.
- This is the APKs from the latest OxygenOS for the OP5T (5.1.1)
- I had to re-sign the OnePlusCameraService.apk with my own signature because of a shared user issue. When I removed the shared user from AndroidManifest.xml, obviously the signature was wrong. So I re-signed it.
- There are a lot of shared libraries in this flashable zip, some probably unrelated to the camera, service and gallery. I just compared the libraries and jar between OxygenOS and LineageOS, and put them in the zip. I didn't take the time to check which one are unrelated.
- This also adds the package com.oneplus (OnePlus System). Don't know if that's a good thing or not.
- This zip will not overwrite anything because it only contains something no present in LineageOS.
- I have the feeling my iddle battery drain has reduced. Maybe because of the Oneplus System package.

I think the quality is the same as on OxygenOS. If it is not, I haven't seen a difference.
The main advantage here is that the OnePlusCameraService package is installed and working, I think it is used for face detection and other stuff.
I've registered to Android File Host but I have to wait until they review my developer application.
Thanks for this!!!
Really amazing!
You did mention LineageOS but I had to try on Omnirom!
I tried it on OmniRom Treskmod.
Unfortunatly, it did not work. com.android.phone kept crashing. I did try your full tutorial but no portrait mode.
I'm thinking about switching to Lineage just because of this!
Can you make it compatible with more roms?
Great job!

I only tested it with the latest LineageOS and with this rom it does not overwrite anything. But, there is no guarantee that it will not overwrite something important for other roms... Your problem with com.android.phone makes me think that it overwritten existing OmniRom files.

Uh-oh. I think flashing my zip may cause issues with 4G. Investigating.
Reflashing the latest LineageOS seems to correct the issue, don't know what happened. I was stuck in 3G. Maybe it was an issue on the network provider side.
It's now confirmed that it was my mobile network provider who had 4G issues and they resolved it in same time as my flashing. So nothing to worry about flashing my zip on LineageOS.
Amazing job, will try this asap i flash lineage os
unable to download. Connection has been blocked.
Can you please also port "gaming do not disturb" function on OOS? Or is there already some apps or mod can do for that?
I'm skipping 90% of words here because if you are here I assume you know what you are doing. And you can either Google, use the search button, or ask.
This is a private work of mine, that I use normally on my spare device. Supported as is.

This is really awesome, no more random system freezes like in the first official UA builds. Thanks a lot, it really makes this ancient device useful again ?
@KiD3991 hello, maybe you would like to join Unlegacy team as Tegra 3 developer?
Slightly odd request at this stage probably but is there any chance off an unlegacy lollipop build for grouper? with a 3.4 kernel please?
actually strike that the marshmellow build will be just fine
but does anyone know if shared memory is implemented in a chroot I get -
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=268435456
returns cannot stat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax: No such file or directory
New build up, sorry I was really unavailable.
I tried fixing a couple of things, see if it helps, do tell me though, mention me and I will show up.

Hmm I've kind of slipped off this little project for a while I'm trying to use it with the newer kali builds chroot (requiring the 3.4 kernels I believe) in the hope of having a device with WiFi monitor mode available but I was running in to that shared memory issue with services such as postgresql etc think is was causing me issues with csploit too but as I say not really looked at it in a few weeks now.

did u tried to activate the debug mode , in dev settings? if that doesn't work .. you have to switch the drivers by yourself, in windows ( devices manager ) from ADB Bootloader to Storage Device .. for your Nexus 7
