[ROM][NZH54D][2021/01/05][Asus Nexus 7 2012 WiFi/3G][F2FS/EXT4]Android 7.x AOSP

[RodMyers]

Just resurrected my nexus 7. Found this forum a few minutes ago.

grabbed the rom and gapps

Thanks to the devs for this

I am running this ROM alongside with microG, installed via Nanodroid. Flashing the Nanodroid patcher via TWRP worked like a charm for me.

How-to (at least that is what I remembered):

Clean flashed the ROM, then rebooted to recovery again, then flashed the patcher. Took some time, but finished fine. Then rebooted into the system. Rebooted to recovery again, flashed Magisk and the corresponding Nanodroid Magisk modules for microG. That's it.

I've installed microG using those instructions (though the self check reports no 'signature spoofing' ) The only place I differed was that I rebooted to system after clean flashing the ROM as I wanted it to complete its set-up. I've been able to install apps via the Aurora store and, so far, it's working - though I am unfamiliar with it so it's taking me a bit longer!

The version of Nanodroid patcher I used was the NanoDroid-microG-23.0.1.20201029.zip

I'm only doing this because, as some have noted, GAPPs seems to slow the Nexus down. We'll see. I've no major issue with privacy etc so I'm quite happy to go back to GAPPs if necessary.

Not sure if this is a typo on your side, but you need to flash the Nanomod patcher file before flashing the Nanodroid microG package (which can also be found in the repo you linked).

No, no typo. With my first attempt, I flashed the patcher file but it error-ed (ERROR 1) so I tried the NanoDroid-microG file. That worked, albeit without giving me signature spoofing.

Tbh, I am a little concerned about signature spoofing anyway (and note that @AndDiSa did not implement it in this ROM for a good reason) so I'm happy to live without it... so far anyway!

Error 1 could simply be a corrupt file, I don't know, so I suppose I could try another/earlier version.

As you are rooted, if you find it too slow, you should give the app Trimmer (fstrim) a try. I'm using it after each ROM flash, each reboot and every time I install or delete something. It really make a difference on my Nexus 7.

Thanks for the tip, it appears fstrim does keep things fresh and speedy.

 

[AndDiSa]

... unfortunately some posts / changes in the OP (links to the versions with 2020/11/05 security patches) didn't survive the migration of the XDA forum. I'll try to update the OP as soon as possible.

Edit:
... done.

 

[nitishdk]

hi im on the latest version i can also connect device but can receive or send files am i the only one who face such problems ?

 

[AndDiSa]

[nitishdk]

Solved it's transferring now maybe some connections problem but now all ok. Best rom this is gave a new life to my Nexus 7

Tested aosp_grouper-7.1.2-ota-20201107.eng.ds with open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20201209

Tested google play and it's working well, nice to have all latest security patches, very nice rom

This AOSP recommended install with Magisk and Ktweak latency branch

Why ? A good reason for that ?

I had this as well, fixed it by clean flashing ROM, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk then boot into ROM and then use Magisk to flash the nanodroid patcher. After patching and reboot, I didn't flash nanodroid microg but rather MinMicroG from here -> https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases

If anyone has problems with being unable to add google account, that has to do with your version of systemwebview. if that is too new, the add account dialog box will FC. I used bromite systemwebview v85.0.4183.114 and everything works fine now!

oh and by the way, google meet doesn't work with microg. google classroom does work.

Super smoothly and run fast even 1Gib RAM, 1.2Ghz cpu frequency

I mean Ktweak latency branch, not balance/throughput. Following this link

[LesGirauds]

Thanks for that. I was using the balance branch and getting freezes. I'll see how it goes on 'latency'.

Installed and running with no problems. Thank you so much.

I've also reverted to microG rather than GAPPS for performance reasons. That, and the above mentioned Ktweak, mean that my Nexus now runs more smoothly than it has in a very long time!
