Thanks ! The only problem is that the video is not working

Thanks for reporting! Could you specify which app? I do have mixed results on this, on one hand YT / MX Player are working on the other one Clover can't play webM's.
I'll certainly look into it.

The YouTube app played only sound, and when I installed opengapps Pico or mini the Google play setup crashed. Bean gapps worked just fine. I am using original shield tablet wifi. Should I install k1 staging blob ?

I'd advice against that, personally.

However, i have a workaround for the videos. There's some problem with the hardware decoding, i still have to figure out why.
For now i simply disabled hardware decoders, the software decoding seems to work fine, but this isn't a fix by any means.

I'll add the link to the download once the upload finished.
added to OP
Another bug i've encountered is that the Shield Camera's pictures are distorted, however when you activate HDR everything is fine. Again, just a workaround for now. The alternative is to use AOSP Camera.

Charging issue fix available?

Hi. Any input on charging? I was able to flash the latest version but I see it doesn't want to charge above 88%, even when left plugged over night. Thanks very much for any input. Nvidia Shield Tablet, wifi, rooted.

Seems weird.

Does anybody else have this issue?

Thanks for trying. And thanks to anyone for replying. In terms of self help, I downloaded some battery apps to see if they can re-align the battery so it can charge up to 100%. Still only charging up to 89%. Tried cleaning the input ports and the chargers. I have wiped cache partitions. I have the latest TWRP. I'm scared to try to re-flash because it was so difficult - "setup wizard keeps stopping."

 

[klo_lol]

you could try if this will make any difference, provided by BitOBsessiOn: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424962292

Did you update the blob from the latest OTA for your Tablet (OG/K1)?
I honestly have no idea otherwise.

In terms of setup wizard, as you are not the only one having this problem apparently. Did you clean flash (aka wiping all necessary partitions) prior to flashing omni?
I personally didn't have any crash setting it up, but that may be sheer luck.. i've seen commits from Steel01 to Lineage which adress that issue, but i want to make as less changes in the general codebase as possible.
As an alternative you can use Bean gapps as marcostesvk pointed out. I may change this in OP if everbody has problems with the setup wizard.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm very VERY grateful for your replies. I will try the battery link tonight. I didn't update the blob from any OTAs. This tablet is the replacement tablet from the recall. I rooted it and I don't get any OTAs. Perhaps it's something I can get and flash? If so, I would gladly try it. Re. setup wizard, I always clean flash ROMs and in fact I wipe all twice for luck and then again after flashing Gapps. Setup wizard error popped up and you can't swipe down to get to the Settings or the wifi. On the 70th try (and after youtube videos and articles) of trying to quickly slide to the notification bar, I was able to slide down and get to Settings to turn on wifi (ie, the solution). Last thing I did was out of frustration (nothing was flashing, Tesla, Lineage 14.1, etc., and this came closest) I unplugged the charger while sliding down and suddenly the bar came down -coincidence? Don't know. You don't want that error, it's like the android on his back. Full disclosure, I had to go into the updater script file and delete the assert lines so I'd stop getting the TWRP Error 7. Which worked. Learned that from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wed03948gcg. I'll report back. Thank you for your attention and sorry to be a PITA!

I'm grateful for the feedback too, no worries!
You can get any OTA here https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source directly from nvidia, labeled recovery images.
Inside the zip are instructions, but the most important parts are the blob and bootloader.
I sincerly hope this fixes any issues.
Regarding gapps: that truly sounds like hell. I'll do a backup and clean flash probably tomorrow. I'll report back on that matter when i have some details.
You are on the latest TWRP, is suppose?

Yes TWRP 3.1.1-1. Thx very much for the OTA link. Just fyi, the battery zip link was dead. But I'll find a working link now that I know the general name..

Hi, just an update. I re-flashed and used bean gapps this time. No problems this time, but the battery still won't charge above 89%. Just as a by the way, the clock and date start up at factory until I get it on the wifi and it syncs. Every time. If there's no wifi, it's set to Dec. 31, 2012. Anyone else with this?

 

[klo_lol]

uploaded a new build. Link in OP.
No major changes, just up2date with omni source as of today

 

[klo_lol]

new build in OP.
*updated with latest omni 7.1 changes
*updated with some device changes from Aaron Kling
*updated kernel with latest nvidia kernel sources

i'm still bumping my head against a wall why hwencoders seem to have some sort of problems. You can play media, it's just not working with the configs it's supposed to.
