The Android L Preview Factory Image - Nexus 7 General

Now that Google released an Android L Preview Factory Image for the 2012 Nexus 7, has anyone tried it?
How useable is it and what are the main gotchas?

a factory image and an incomplete source drop are not the same! you mixed something up.
Google released some GPL sourcecode which you can't "try out" (neither flash).
Only nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) have flashable factory images!
Please use the Q&A section for Questions like these next time to keep the general section clean.

The original thread for this is right next to this one on xda. It's titled [ROM][5.0.0][The unnamed Android L SDK port][for MultiROM][01/07/14][v4] and it only works with MultiROM. (+makes it impossible to install some apps, but works well otherwise)
Lazy "journalism."

Ahh Thanks! Must have missed it in the Thread section.. Sorry for that!
But the article never mentioned multi rom so that's why

Edit: wrong thread.

[WIP] [BUILD 1] [9.1.13] Firefox OS (B2G) - NOT ANDROID, SOMETHING DIFFERENT

General Info:
More information about Firefox OS (B2G) is available here and here. So... I saw this and couldn't resist having a little sneaky play around with it. This is NOT a daily driver. This is NOT stable. It's pre-alpha. If you want something to use as a phone, this isn't it. If you just want to use your phone as a phone, you need android rom.
With that aside, and with the clear understanding that while this won't brick your phone, it's nothing to do with me if it did for some reason, or likewise if your cat (or other cute pet) suffers a painful death as a result of flashing this. At your own risk, like everything else here on XDA-Developers!
So without further ado, WTF is this? Well, it's a project from Mozilla (the lovely people behind the Firefox browser). I won't go into details, suffice to say I suggest you read a lot over at their wiki - start off at https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G and work your way through the pages.
These builds can only be installed with CWM!!!

[Q] Verizon's April 5th Update Woes

I, regrettably, just updated my phone to Verizon's April 5th 2013 Jelly Bean (9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-2
Blur_Version.98.72.182.XT894.Verizon.en.US) and they seem to have closed the exploit that razr blade uses. Specifically, creating /data/local.prop results in "permission denied." Has anyone else experience this problem? Is there a work around or another exploit? Thanks.
Mine was not installing on my phone for me so I tried flashing the zip in recovery with no prevail. After this I tried the Razr Blade mod on Windows 7 and it was not working for me. After that I booted up my Ubuntu 12.04 and tried again and it worked perfect for me. Try downloading the Ubuntu 12.04 live CD and burn it to a disk,run,it, download the Droid 4 JB utility from the forums, followe all the instructions in it and it should do it for you. I just accomplished this yesterday(5/13/2013). Let me know if you need any more help and keep trying. Don't give up yet.

Have I missed something? Is there a further update to the original JB update? Do we know if there's any material difference?
I've just tried a system update check, and it's saying I'm up to date, but I have the 8th Feb build date.
Cheers,
Steve.
it was posted here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php
Apart from the issue related to rooting, are there any noticeable changes?
Have the hardware keyboard problems been addressed? Is it a leak of an impending release?
Do we know anything else about it other than the different build date?
Cheers,
Steve
I duplicated the post on rootzwiki (/topic/40718-verizon-april-5th-update-woes/) and got a working answer there. Thanks to all for your assistance. As for the update, I have no idea what changes were made.

That's a discussion about the original update, not the difference between the two JB releases.
right coder0xff is the only one, who has reported running the new version, other than me
I just checked to see if it was rootable, then flashed back to original and that is as far as I got.

Fair enough - I'm just surprised there isn't more discussion about it.
I think it must have gone unnoticed.
it just was posted a few days ago, and no one was expecting it.

Any hope to get Lollipop for Touchpad

Lollipop has been released for a few weeks now, but no one had asked if there will be a rom for our outdated Touchpad
So i come to be the first one who raises this question
Hope to get a positive answer
its definitely coming. just give it a little more time.

ok, thanks
Is that possible to ask the author to distribute a test build, I have new lollipop for my generic, although there are still some issues, it worth to try

Eagerly anticipates a possible JCSULLINS build
After having Lollipop on my phone I'd love to see it come to the TouchPad. Supposedly CM has builds planned to be released out in about a months time. Thus something should be on its way shortly afterwords would be my guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-5-0-0p1-data-media-t2949521
Here is another version, tried, it, but prefer cm layout, so wait for cm version
Unofficial 12.0 is out now (this thread is a bit over a month old i see):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-nightlies-t2993197
Installed last night, seems to work quite nicely. Lollipop seems a bit more streamlined than KK, although it feels like a kids cartoon when setting it up with all the bright colours.
I did have to wipe with TPtoolbox and create the volumes manually with sufficient size but it wasn't much of a hassle at all.
Cheers
Volumes
How do you resize the volumes using TPToolbox? What size do i need to add? cache, data , system ? please help

I believe you only need to make sure the "system" one is at least 1GB. if you get "unable to allocate" error when you do it, make sure you go into "Data" and click "-1024" or "-512" then hit "Apply" and after you can go back to Resize "System" and you should be able to add the one you removed from Data.
P.S i said either "-1024" or "-512" this depends on how big your "System" already is and you just want to add enough ton make it 1GB
New TPToolbox
I just downloaded the new TPtoolbox version 42 and the fixed the problem thankyou for el the support

It seems to be an unreleased test build. Not sure why @rovo89 put it in his public server but did not make any announcements about it
This is xposed for roms with november security patch, which bootlop with v86, so he made this. This is test version that boots but probably has memory leaks

Morover, rovo89 announced that he will push New stable version with no leaking in the couple of days.
Cheers.
thank you for all your useful answers
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/issues/129
Here is the issue page, and rovo89 says he will release a proper version some time this week. Let's just wait.
Well, that was a test build, as the name said. The screenshot is from the unofficial installer, which tries to extract the available versions from the web server. That doesn't necessarily reflect what I "released". The official installer is more accurate.
I have the xposed-v84-sdk23-arm64 version active. Inside the Xposed Installer the V87 version appears to be installed. I already tenti install through recovery and even inside the Xposed Intaller itself. But my cell phone is always frozen on the screen of Samsung (I already cleaned the cache etc., as per the recommendations). I ask for help trying to install the new version. Thanks.

reserved for extra stuff - this thread may be removed if i dont upload anything within a week or 2.
I have been using 'Q' for about a month after previously testing A.R.I.S.E. I am very happy with Xperience on my Nexus 6!
will this work on 7.1.1?
@narithlot updated OP "6.x.x and above"
thanx
So where exactly is the download link for this sound mod? I sure can't find it. It's like a wild goose chase.
@Thunderbolt69
yo, X version is unreleased. And as mentioned in OP, X version will only work on top of R or Q version which have been released in the official thread. You might aswell go to the official thread & test them out since you will need them anyways. Meanwhile I need to support many more devices for X version. I've probably made this thread abit too early, I guess it's good for the hype :laugh:

It doesn't work on this thread click to the main thread at the top open post also make sure to be on PC the app will only download the jpg. On PC the other thread will open up to zips from Android file host. I will say it should be explained better the q3 is the one to get for Shamu on some ROMs it does seem to clear the sound up I feel like it optimized the appsidk I'm new to this.
