Hello everyone,
Just wanted to thank AndDiSa and everyone providing help troubleshooting problems for the amazing work.
I had the nexus on my shelve for many years, getting dusted. A few years back I had upgraded it to Lollipop where due to the lags (20-30 seconds) the tablet was rendered useless. I even went to the trouble of reading a few guides to downgrade it back to 4.4 just to be functional.
Now with the COVID, my girlfriend had an idea to give the tablet to a poor student (since we do not use it anyway). Families now need several devices for work and study during the lockdown. The government is not able to provide tablets for the whole school, so it was a great opportunity to give the tablet to someone in need.
Unfortunately webex is not available for KitKat and I was frustrated to see after upgrading to lollipop again that it is not available for that version either. That's when I searched for custom roms and found several videos and guides pointing to this thread.
I have now successfully flashed the December image to the tablet and I am really shocked by the performance! It 's like new! I can't believe how smoothly this 8 year old hardware runs Android 7. I am also extremely pissed at Google for bricking the tablet with the Lollipop version. That's one of the reasons I distanced myself from the Android ecosystem. All it 's left now is to make a few calls with webex and check everything works and it will be on its way to someone that really needs it.
Thank you AndDiSa for the time and effort, its highly appreciated. If there 's any way I can buy you a coffee/beer please let me know. It 's a small token just to show my appreciation for bringing a device back to life.
