[FLO] [UNOFFICIAL] [DEV] Android 5.1 AOSP for Nexus 7 (2013)

[arter97]

I tried to download Android 5.1 factory image from Google and found out there was none.
So I built one, for testing.

This is a user build of Android 5.1 AOSP with 5.0.1 blobs, so do not expect this to be rock stable.
Gapps for Android 5.1 also missing, you may have trouble getting Play Store to work.

Flash at your own RISK!

1. Download the ROM (XDA DevDB) and extract.
2. Reboot to bootloader
2.1. Unlock bootloader
3. 'fastboot -w'
[THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE DEVICE]
4. 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
5. 'fastboot flash system system.img'
6. Reboot

The 5.1 binaries for this device arn't out yet are they?

Does anyone have an idea if the 5.0.2 Nexus 7 (flo) binaries will compile and work with the Android AOSP 5.1 source ?

Thanks!

They work just fine. I've been running 5.1 on my flo for a couple days.

I'm surprising there's a lack of posts on this since everyone seems to want 5.1. I guess people are either waiting for the stock OTA or CM. I'm fine with keeping my tablet stock and this will do nicely.

Some users after clean ROM being dead are reverted to the first near stock choice they saw that was the grogg's ROM.
Since the post is pure stock I don't know shy
I have both Roms running both running great!
I am not comparing any Roms here or trying to discourage anybody,just saying...
Sorry if I did posted anything wrong!

Maybe you can but a clean wile is always recommended.Do a backup first.
And you can use Titanium Backup for backing up all things .
