[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for the Nexus 7 2013 (Wi-Fi & LTE) - Repartition Only (flox/debx)

[npjohnson]

Thanks Nolen!

Since my current repartition scheme allows for a system partition at 1480MB. Is there a better layout scheme that would jump to a 2G system partition?

Bill

not really - we'd need to make one.

For those who don't have stock Android on this device anymore and want to switch to official LineageOS 18.1:

I had some problems installing official LineageOS 18.1 after I had tried out other unofficial ROMs. After several repartioning and wiping, I figured out a solution that worked for me. Strangely, only specific TWRP versions where able to work for this. For instance, I needed a custom TWRP version from user followmsi in order to run the repartition script from CROSS correctly, but needed another to be able to flash LineageOS (TWRP version must be compatible with the demand of "flox" from the LineageOS install script, in case you want to flash via updater).

So here are the steps:

- boot into bootloader (fastboot mode) by pressing Volume Down + Power button
- boot TWRP recovery via fastboot: "fastboot boot twrp-3.7.0_9-0-flo_followmsi.img"
- in TWRP: wipe all partitions + format data "yes"
- in TWRP: go to "Advanced" > "ADB sideload"
- on PC: "adb sideload sysrepart-ultimate.zip" (for 32GB version)*, wait until finished
*"adb sideload sysrepart-ultimate-2.zip" (for 16GB version)
- from TWRP, reboot to bootloader
- flash recovery: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.0_9-0-flox.img"
- boot recovery: choose "Recovery mode" via Volume Up/Down, confirm with Power button
- in TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > wipe all partitions (except Vendor), format data "yes"
(wipe several times to make sure partitions will be okay; I had some issues with this before)
- trim system: "adb sideload k23m-fstrim.zip" (optional)
- reboot into TWRP
- flash latest LineageOS: "adb sideload lineage-18.1-xxxxxxxx-nightly-flox-signed.zip"
- flash OpenGapps (optional): "adb sideload open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip"
- reboot into system

Magisk can be installed right after setting up LineageOS:
- in TWRP, flash Magisk.zip and reboot
- install Magisk.apk in LineageOS, start Magisk and follow instruction and reboot

I have this running perfectly on my Nexus. Can somebody please advise me on how I can overclock the CPU on this build? Previously I used ElementalX. Thanks

 

[BLewis4050]

I think this should fix the next build: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_asus_flox/+/353324

Thanks again -- I just installed the May 1 build with Open G-Apps PICO successfully!

@npjohnson I was unable to download the recommended repartitioning script. AFH says Oops! No mirrors found. I have noticed that this has been happening recently on files that have been there for years. Can you upload it elsewhere?

The other ones I tried didn't work and/or are dangerous.

I tried the one on Clamor's github and it didn't recognize my eMMC (16GB HAG2e). Then I tried sysrepart-ultimate.zip from another thread. It left me with a 13GB system partition and no data partition! I thankfully could manually fix this using parted, but it freaked me out and most people would not be able to fix it themselves.

AFH has been flaky. Here's a mirror. (The md5sum matches the one listed on the AFH page.)

You are not following the guide. Your device is in fastboot, boot to recovery.

I've done the following

C:\Users\georg\Downloads\nexus7>fastboot boot lineage-18.1-20230505-recovery-flox.img
Sending 'boot.img' (10962 KB) OKAY [ 1.418s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.016s]
Finished. Total time: 1.496s

The nexus 7 just sits there. I restart, select recover, then just get the Broken Android image.

I dont have an option to go into advanced, enable ADB.

so stuck at the EFS backup step

You do have the nexus 7 2013 right?

The recovery provided definitely works so I'm not sure why you're having issues...

Not 2012?

Hello!
Fantastic ROM! My flo was ressurrected.
Just need a little help.
On top of the screen it has a black space, as if it had a camera sensor on the screen like the iphone...
Is there a way to disable it as the front camera sensor on the flo is out of the screen.
I have looked but did not find nothing related to it in settings.
I have made a screenshot but it doesnt show... I marked the spot... Top of the screen.
Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

On the documentation, step 4. of Repartition is supposed to take "up to 5 minutes".

It has been more than 20 minutes and this seems not be be done (see screenshot).

Any idea of what I should do?

Thanks in advance!
