[4.4.4][ktu84p]STOCK Rooted with busybox for tilapia[6/19/14]

[phanitej]

It is cooked from the Google stock image for tilpia and is NOT deodexed
This is the first time i am posting a ROM on XDA.
Been cooking ROM's for a while for my old Samsung devices.
The whole reason for this thread is to have a flashable zip for any Nexus 7(2012) 3g user who wishes to stay stock.



I have tested it on my Nexus 7, if anyone has any issues do let me and please bear with me as im not a developer and just sharing what i personally use.
Will try and help with what ever i can.​

************** For some Reason the boot logo does not show up, dont worry, wait for sometime, the ROM will boot up***********
Note:
1. Works with multirom.
2. Odexed for my personal use, if anyone wishes to de-odex it, do let me know.
3. This includes the stock kernel. I also tested the latest stable mkernel which is for 4.4.2 and works fine.(works with the new kitkat 4.4.4 too)

Screenshot attached

Profit :good:

Update your bootloader and radio first. And clean flash is recommended though there are not much of changes from 4.4.2 but as you mentioned you are using 4.4 clean wipe and installing is preferred.

thank you very much! stock rocks! :good::good:
PS: root & bbox?

 

[roygaard]

Thanks alot

Hi!

First of all - thanks for your clean/xposed ROM.

I only have one question. Would it still be possible to send SMS from my Tilapia-tablet (Nexus 7-2012/3G) after flashing your ROM?

BTW : @RomerGG - The threads' header should already have answered your question...

Regards,
Roy

Haven't tried that. Unfortunately i have a pure data plan, so my provider restricts sms by default. And i cant take out the sim and replace as i was once trying to break open my sim slot and take out the sim, during that crazy struggle i guess i broke that sim holder. so once the sim comes out, i have to struggle a lot to get the network back on by replacing it

Edit: dont think hangouts will give the sms sending option by any chance. So try with a third party app and let us know

Thanks for the stock rooted rom. FYI, I had flashed CF SuperSU v1.99r4 and also MKernel a67, looks okay so far. I'm updating the Google apps from Play store now. Once done, I'll be installing TB to restore my apps.

One word of caution to those flashing this rom. Note that there seems to be no bootanimation, so don't be mistaken that the rom is not working. Give it time to boot up. :good:

Edit:
One thing I noticed strange is in TB, System ROM is showing 670MB (8.45 MB free). Before this, I was on 4.4.2 stock rooted, before I manually flashed boot.img and system.img. It was showing same results, but 9.XX MB free. Is this correct? I vaguely remembered that it should be almost 900 plus MB. Can anyone confirm?

Sorry for this stupid question. How can I updated these .img files ?

 

[sbarrett]

Thank you for this work!! I had the slimkat, I did a wipe recovery and then I installed. Where is the menu button?
Art is not activated?

To flash them you need to enable USB debugging and then reboot to bootloader. Here use the following fastboot commands.
For Updating bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader name_of_the_bootloader_file.img

For radio:
fastboot flash radio name_of_the_radio_file.img

If you want a detailed instruction, go here and follow Method 2.

It is the same file as the one google pushes for Nexus 7 device. So what ever is present in the original stock image, will be there.
Menu button is only active in apps that give it by default, there is an xposed module which can activate menu button in every app.
For ART, not sure why google misses the option to switch to ART every time on Nexus 7 devices. Will check and see how to add that option.

Thank you very much.

It is dalvik. Google does not seem to want including ART for the nexus 7. Read somewhere on google forums that it might be a hardware issue cos of which they are not including it.

flashing aborted

Version tilapia2 flashing aborted, version tilapia 1 ok. Do you know where is the problem? Using the latest version of the recovery v6.0.4.3.

 

[bshiznit]

Good work! I maintain BSZKitKat for grouper (ODEX and DEODEX). Awesome job getting right in front of the 4.4.4 update!

Correct - we lack sufficient space on the /system partition for the binaries required for switching to ART

Cant' flash this rom, i get an error and the message FAILED.
I'm using TWRP recovery 2.7.

 

[andreapier]
