Yes, I know this thread is in the wrong section. I tried to get this thread moved into development, only to be locked out of my own thread. So it's here for now.
This is an SDK port of Android L preview to the Nexus 7 2012 (Grouper).
First of all, this ROM is not up to the quality of other ports, as Bluetooth, NFC, many sounds, light sensor, and other features are not working.
What works:
- the boot animation
- Touchscreen
- Sound (partially)
- Screen rotation
- The Settings app
- The camera
- Installing apps
- Wi-Fi - thanks, gnustomp!
What doesn't work:
- Playing some sounds, such as the Ding noise played by Google Search after recognizing OK Google
- Bluetooth
- NFC
- Google Text to Speech
- Everything else
The port is based on the system image of the 32-bit ARM Android L emulator, with proprietary binaries pulled from the stock 4.4.2 image.
The kernel used is the LegoKernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2664392
The kernel used in v3 and earlier is the stock 4.4.2 kernel from MultiROM http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34577851&postcount=2.
The .zip packaging (and the boot animation) is based on the MultiROM repack of the Nexus 5 image from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53707461&postcount=1213
The Superuser shipped with this ROM is made by Koush: http://koush.com/post/superuser
The non-PIE fix is based on the patch by cernekee.
This ROM uses the Bluetooth and NFC apks from Cyanogenmod. Thanks!
To reiterate, this ROM is rather useless. Therefore, I have made this ROM for MultiROM (the ROM won't run without it, currently) so you can dual-boot into this and experiment. To setup MultiROM, follow the instruction on its thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
Note that F2FS is not supported.
I have only tested this on my own device, so if you're getting bootloops, please send me a LogCat of the boot so I can diagnose the problem.
Installing:
- Back up your device. This ROM is highly experimental and may screw up stuff.
- Install MultiROM first
- Put the downloaded .zip onto the /sdcard partition
- Boot into the MultiROM recovery
- Select "Advanced"
- Select "MultiROM"
- Select "Add ROM"
- For "Choose ROM type", select "Android"
- For "Share kernel with Internal ROM?", Choose "Don't share"
- Select "Next"
- Select "Zip file"
- Choose the downloaded .zip
- Slide to flash
- To flash Gapps: Return to home menu -> Advanced -> Multirom -> List ROMs
- Select the flashed ROM, and then choose Flash Zip; choose the Gapps package
