Just got it here too ..

Anyway original Shield users (Y01) can install this update?

I unrooted and restored stock recovery to get the installation process going (same procedure as always), but unfortunately, I always end up getting the "Error!" message after a while, thus having to manually turn off the system. I didn't have any issue like this with Update 1.1, and I can't really think of any substantial change to my system since then.
Anyone got any tips?

This update seems to have broken loading OBB zips from the external SD.

I got the same message.
I could press the Power button and the volume-up button once to get into recovery and it shows me:
Verifying current system...
"EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:6699412:2dedcfe2f04<very large hex>" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in @/cache/recovery/block.map
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

After this I also fastboot flashed the boot.img matching the recovery.img and got a different message:
system partition has unexpected contents

This leads me to believe the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (and maybe the blob) should come from the same release, in my case I downloaded the 1.1.1 release from Nvidia. I don't have time to keep testing this, but will do tomorrow.

UPDATE: I flashed the system.img of the 1.1 update and then the update to 1.2 is successful.

Hi!

Repositioned Navigation Buttons in Landscape mode

Can someone please post a screen shot of what that looks like? There are several complaints about it over at the nvidia forum but no one has described exactly what's bad with the new button position.

If they made it the same as phones where the bar is placed along the right (short) edge in landscape I'm gonna avoid this update like the plague, as a Lefty I hate that.

They're more useful when you're holding the tablet with two hands.

Thanks! Looks like I can live with that change.

Hi!

I was on vulkan 6.0.1 (dev preview) and kali kernel etc, with TWRP 3.0.0 and Supersu installed, I've only downloaded it from Settings Update( v1.2 I'm on K1 w/o pen) and after that reflashed TWRP's recovery from fastboot and then SuperSu in TWRP's menu (also xposed installer must be reflashed or custom kernel and all other stuff that doesn't survive to OTA)

Full OTA:

[Kasimodo]

thank you Zarish.
But how to install it?
FYI, my tablet K1 is updated to 1.1 (Android 6.0) and rooted but I haven't installed TWRP Recovery. I have only boot on TWRP image (with command "fastboot boot twrp.img") and then flashed SuperSu.
Do I have to boot on TWRP with the same command (fastboot boot twrp.img) and then install the "OTA 1.2.zip" you shared?
Sorry for this noob question but I would like t be sure before starting something...
Best regards

Yes, you could boot TWRP that way and then install the .zip (install SU again also).

Can we use gravitybox to swap the back and recent apps button?

Don't know. I'm not an Xposed fan, I think it spends way too much battery and causes errors that shouldn't happen to some apps.
