Nexus 7 LTE General Bugs/Problems & Workarounds
-
is there a video tutorial to switch to flo? thanks in advance.
long live the free world -
@joao-0 There is not, I do not put out video tutorials. If you really want to run the Flo software, run the UBports installer and then follow the instructions for if your device wasn't detected and select the Flo. Of course, this means you'll lose LTE connectivity as the Flo image does not support it, for that, you need to Frankenstein the device with a Deb image and Flo kernel.
Because of how sensitive that proceedure is, I advise against YouTube tutorials due to many possibilities, however I'll use the most prominent one from another homebrew scene as my reason why I do not do videos, over in the Nintendo3DS homebrew scene, a dude bricked people's consoles because he uploaded a "One Size Fits All" package with a video, containing device specific files that wouldn't work when put into another console.
If you want a decent Deb experience, download the boot.img in my OP, fastboot up TWRP, and then install the boot.img into the boot partition using it. Reboot. Done.
If you are wanting to use this kernel with a Flo product, simply do the same things. Both Nexus 7 models use the same kernel anyway.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm going to stay like this and forget the Bluetooth. I already tested flo by installer and it didn't work. Without video to test your img, it's too complicated...
Thanks anyway.Merci pour votre réponse.
Je vais rester comme ça et oublier le Bluetooth. J'ai déjà testé flo par l'installateur et cela n'a pas fonctionné. Sans vidéo pour tester votre img, c'est trop compliqué...
Merci quand même. -
@joao-0 Ah, if you've already done the Flo installation, then open a terminal and do
sudo start bluetooth-touch-floIf you want this working on every boot:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo cp /etc/init/bluetooth-touch-flo.conf /etc/init/bluetooth-touch-deb.confThis is because despite running a Flo kernel, the hardware still reports it's a deb, and the ubPorts image appears to be missing the upstart item for the deb, and is missing a redirect from bluetooth-touch to just use the flo version regardless.

I don't use android anymore to avoid google, why the hell i would use google translate ?Plus translation with deepl was accurate every time i tested it.

@keneda
ok.
no worry. -
@joao-0 Apologies, wish I had a better way of helping you install it. If you've got my boot.img, and have TWRP on your device, you could always flash it that way.
Or you can boot to Fastboot/bootloader, and issue a
fastboot boot <path/to/boot.img>for temporary testing,
or
fastboot flash boot <path/to/boot.imgfor permanent installation
from a computer -
@tonoxis
A big thank you I managed to make the Bluetooth work with your boot.img
Long live the free world -
@tonoxis if you have any changes in your boot image that improve the device´s experience, please try to work with us in getting them into our default image. That could be nice!
thanks -
@flohack

@flohack I just created my account.
note:. I don't speak English and I live in France with jet lag, it's not going to be easy...
Sincerely Joao -
@joao-0
You're not the only french here ^^
I believe @Flohack lives in Germany, so "jet lag" should not be a problem. -
@keneda
Ok -
@keneda I live in Austria
-
@flohack
Ah, my bad
At least still in same area so no "jet lag" issue with France.
