Yes. Didn't you notice the name change?:silly:
Op. Care to tell us anything else other than 'I did it'. Maybe the process, make a guide, anything at all that would make the community better?
Lol. Sorry. There is a ROM in the original development section that let's you dual boot. You can download the boot image from there.

Sorry. Mods please delete. I'm pretty new to doing things like this I was just excited. Didn't realize that people would get bothered by me making a thread. Definitely should have known better.

Do you have a custom ROM and Ubuntu or stock ROM with Ubuntu?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
AOKP 4.2 and Ubuntu. I was running the Multi ROM from the Original Android Development section. It does just that, lets you running several ROMS. I don't have much of a need other than AOKP and Ubuntu but it's awesome you can choose which ROM to boot. I wound up screwing up everything last night by messing around. I wiped my entire tab. I loaded Ubuntu on my PC and managed to reinstall Ubuntu on my tablet, while wiping out everything. So now I have to redo everything. That's what I get for messing around with things I have no idea about. But for me thats the only way I learn.
If you want to run Ubuntu too, check out the Multi ROM. Works very well for me and seems like for quite a number of others.

Not yet, because a recovery image hasent be successfully dumped to compile a CWM recovery. One that is done Koushik Dutta will add it to the supported device list.
I am working on that now.

jiwen where in NY are you?
Tried playing with it tonight. Found out that Dell™ has set this beast up a little different than conventional devices that you can dump from. I should have something by Sunday at the latest, but I will keep you guys posted. Thanks for the support. As for hellzya, I will work on some kernel tweaks as well, but not until I get this CWM recovery first. Cant afford to brick this just yet. Once I have this done, I will probably push a kernel before I push a rom, cause if I can get the battery drain down, I can convince other devs to buy this device and play with it.

I tried to look over how the streak's file system is built and it seems it does not use the standard mtd setup like most android devices which would allow for a quick recovery partition download...

That was my assessment too. I need to figure out an alternative to the conventional mtd dump. If you guys figure it out before I get off work, please post it and I will work on it tonight.

Hey. If you go into ROM manager and select flash recovery two devices come up. the Advent Vega and the Elocity A7 both of which are Tegra 2. Would one of these work? I'm assuming not but figure maybe because their HW is similar maybe one of those recoveries would work. I always thought ROM manager would only show compatible recoveries as options.
Its quite possible, but I aint got the balls to test it out, lmao. But if anyone feels froggy, have at it and post results.

hmm well looking at the specs of each, the Vega has the same cpu I believe while the A7 has the 1.2. and overall besides the screen size differences the S7 is more like the Vega than the A7.. ok.. What's the worst that can happen if I try to flash it? I just wont be able to recover in case something happens? It might just give me an error if it tries to flash and fails...
hmmm I'm debating... should I try?
well I just tried flashing the one for the A7, didn't work but I also didn't lose stock recovery and everything is ok.. Going to try the other now but think it will be the same
tried the other.. same results.. oh well at least I gave it a shot..
I figued they wouldn't work, but it was a possibility.
Yeah, ClockWork seems to be pretty much inoperable. It will install and execute but that's about it.

have you considered Multiboot? it allows you to dual (or triple, quadruple, whatever) boot android and ubuntu (or anything else). i haven't gotten it working yet, but many others have.

I have Multiboot working on my Nexus 7, it's quite easy actually:
- First flash an working rom to your Nexus
- Flash the modified recovery using fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img
- Flash the Multiboot ZIP using the recovery
- Flash the modified kernel ZIP using the recovery
Reboot and you will see the Multiboot boot selector
Currently I have JB and Ubuntu installed on my Nexus 7, trying to get WebOS and Bodhi working as well
Some of you may know me form the TF700 and TF300 Asus forums on XDA.
I have been able to significantly speed up those devices by rebuilding scrosler's CleanROM stock base and tweaking it. I have just successfully done the same on the N7 version and it is flying.
Now I need a few testers to make sure it works for all. The ROM is ready to go now but I will release it in the next few days pending testing.
Anyone fancy a quick stock N7 rom to test? :fingers-crossed:
Pm me please.

Any plans to add this fix for empty app-mounted directories?
I am running cleanrom 3.0 with leankernel 1.2 and really like both alot. Thanks very much for your efforts.
My only issue is with mounting ext3/ext4 usb sticks and hard drives. They appear to mount using stickmount but the files aren't visible
in Root Browser or ES File explorer.
I'd like to be able to mount them manually using busybox mount/umount and I think what follows may work without relying on stickmount.
Please have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106480
Is it possible to add either of these patches to your rom and/or kernels?
Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the Nexus 7 forum. Coming from my LG Optimus L9 which is my daily phone. We have a very long winded rooting and bootloader unlock method for the L9 so it will be a relief to come to a straight forward Google device.
This may have been already asked but which method of rooting is best for my nexus 7 32gb WiFi. I took a look at the ROM toolbox kit, is that the best way of rooting? Also, which custom ROM / kernel combo should I go for after rooting + CWM? I'm looking for a stable ROM with a good battery life. I use this device mainly for web browsing and video streaming. Maybe some light gaming now and then. But my main need is longevity from the battery.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I look forward to joining this nexus community!

If you are not sure what to do exactly I would download one of the toolkits in the dev forums, they are the easiest way to do anything, simple 1 click actions for rooting as well as installing custom recovery, also as a personal preference id go with TWRP instead of CWM but thats just me. And in terms of a ROM/ kenrel thats all down to personal choice, try some out and see what you like but if you want a guarantee of some sorts just go with CM 10.1 in the Original Dev forum, go with the latest RC release.
I would agree with one of the Nexus toolkits. Though I've rooted other phones and tablets before I used Wugfresh's to unlock and root my Nexus 7. It was works like a charm.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Wug's toolkit is all you will need. Donate to the man, too. He deserves it, and his toolkit has saved my N7 more times than I care to remember.
Wugfresh Toolkit all the way.
And since its Google Device you will be rooted in matter of few minutes. =)
And don't forget to backup your data.
For ROM and kernel combo I use vanir ROM (tru speed or prime) and I've been using m-kernel but recently moved to the latest experimental builds of Franco kernel.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using a toolkit for your first go around. At least that way, you can make a backup in case something goes wrong, and then if you ever take an OTA or such by mistake you will be more familiar with adb (if you're doing anything in recovery) and fastboot. With Nexus devices though, "learn by doing" really isn't as bad as it is for others...

If you want it so bad then why don't you try to make it happen?
Since there is root, it shouldn't be impossible to start by dumping partitions and share them to make it available for whoever want's to take a look at it.

I have a G730A and I want CyanogenMod 10.2. I am willing to help develop and test. I have very basic programming skills, and some Linux skills (currently do not have Linux installed though). If I am told what to do I can research how to do it and get it done. I just need instructions.
And if having linux is going to make it way easier, I can install it. I prefer Ubuntu but I can work with Fedora.
