[Petition] CM 10/10.1 for Tilapia/Nakasig Nexus 7 3G

Hi everyone, this thread is a petition to make developers know our interest in having a working CM10/10.1 and custom kernels to our wonderful Nexus 7 3G tilapia/nakasig
At this time, we have only a few ROM modifications based on AOSP or on official Google ROM, no fully optimized CM-based ROM.
I've read somewhere that someone had created a CM10/10.1 ROM from scratch for tilapia, surely not well optimized, but a CM ROM however, with all the CM goodies that AOSP doesn't have.
Tilapia is ony a modified version of grouper, the WIFI-only Nexus 7, and it would be great if someone know how to port this build to tilapia without loosing the 3G feature, which is really useful for me.
So, if you are interested too in a tilapia/nakasig CM10/10.1 ROM for Nexus 7 3G, comment this thread! :laugh:
Hoping this will increase the great developers efforts to this (apparently forgotten) device. :fingers-crossed:
...and sorry for my bad english..

I daresay, it is not forgotten - they are working on making 10.1 as a whole. Once they get it available I am sure that one of the enterprising developers who has the 3g model will make it happen. I don't really think a petition is necessary. Don't poke the bear.
Another option - you could try to work on it yourself.

grouper custom kernels should work on tilapia. i know that the trinity kernel works on all variants of the nexus 7, it has been confirmed.

I subscribe petition

This device just came out... Dont expect it to happen unless you know a dev that has interest in building it for us... This device came out on the heels of a wifi version that a ton of people bought and its going to either take a while or some donations to get a cm build.

MIUI

anyone seen this: http://gsminsider.com/2013/11/miui-android-4-4-kitkat-february-2014/
i know there is much hate on miui. i've used it in the past on other phones and it was not a bad experience.

Nice, looking forward to try out miui once it becomes available.

I like MIUI and can't wait to try on my nexus5!

I'd like to see this working, but the last phone I owned that had a fully functional, non-buggy MIUI rom was the Samsung Fascinate back in 2011. Every other phone I've owned since then (roughly 6-7 devices) have had buggy, incomplete and/or barely usable MIUI roms. As much as I hate to say it, I feel like MIUI's time has come and gone.

Hmm I never really ran into crazy bugs. The biggest issue is lack of device support, it can be a major pain the ass to get them to work on new devices.
It took forever for them to release for the nexus 4 but when they did it was pretty solid.
I hope they do release a build just so i can give it a shot, probably not a daily driver.

I have some bad news.
I'm a Chinese and I have talked with one of MIUI's employers this morning.
MIUI will officially support Nexus7(2013) running 4.4.X in the future but it will take a few months before official release. (I guess it's because of their MiPad)
Nexus 5 is not on the support list right now. (Sun Peng is always bluffing on Weibo) (And Nexus4's MIUI is supported by developers rather than MIUI)
MIUI will not release 4.4.x patchrom in the near future because only few devices running KitKat now.
So, I don't think there will be a MIUI patchrom for 4.4.X before Feb.

Yep, same here. I think the last bug free version of MIUI I ever experienced was the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V, lol!
Then again, this is the first Nexus device I've owned after owning the S2 and S4, and I must say that this device is so much easier to mod than any other device, so we'll see.

True. Honestly though, even a perfect MIUI rom isn't going to have a place on my phone. It was great back in the Gingerbread days since stock Android wasn't really "there" yet, but I don't see what kind of advantage it could really offer over stock KitKat. In particular, I see the lack of an app drawer as a major hindrance at this point. My homescreen setup has gotten more and more efficient over the years (I'm down to 2 home screens + GNow). The last thing I want now is to have all of my apps puked out on a zillion homescreens and then try to organize it all. I realize I can use another launcher, but to me that kind of defeats the purpose of flashing MIUI in the first place.

Lets wait for it Tried miui v5 in htc desire S and it works great
And updates weekly is awesome.

had miui on htc desire, htc sensation, s2, didnt have official on nexus4....i cant imagine how good it will work on nexus 5

http://news.mydrivers.com/1/291/291827.htm might be the new look of miui v6 ...i know is just a concept but looks interesting

MIUI was amazing when everything was working and fully stable. I loved it to death on my HTC Evo 4g a couple years ago. It'll be a good multiboot rom

Miui on gingerbread was the really the best rom ever ...after ice cream miui is having trouble... But still like it

Since when is it having trouble? It ran so solid on my S4, even with the unofficial builds.

With note 2 miui was the only ROM that was lag free, especially when turning off the screen with CRT animation, it was the only ROM that was smooth...but not even comparable with stock n5

Lg tests webos on a nexus 5

Here is something very interesting. If you are not sure what you are looking at, It’s the code repository of Open-webOS. That’s the code originally released by Hewlett Packard and developed by LG electronics. What it shows is webOS being tested on a Nexus 5.
We’ve already had some excitement with the recent Ports to the Touchpad & Nexus 4 by the webOS-Ports team, but this was submitted by an engineer at LG.
So is this a gift for the team to help with future ports or is it LG’s own project? If LG puts webOS on a Nexus 5 and makes that code available, isn’t that an LG webOS phone? Could this test merely be a prelude to a future project?
We’ll keep you updated on any developments and in the meantime will speculate wildly with the rest of the webOS community.

Interesting indeed. Thanks for the post.

Inner idiot in me so eagerly wants Web-OS now.

Anyone else find it "suspicious" (probably not quite the right word) that the source link comments refer repeatedly to "emulation" or "emulator"? implying it's not actually WebOS running on the Nexus 5 but an emulator on top of something that may or may not be WebOS?

Beginner with Nexus

So first hello everyone I just joined this community
I am actually just getting my first android phone, and I was looking around for something interesting
and found out that there is a phone like Nexus 5 which is capable of running all sorts of different OSes
like ubuntu, sailfish, firefox, android of course,... But since nexus 5 is a phone from 2013 I just didn't like the
idea of getting a phone which could become obsolete this very year in terms of specs.
So I was wondering where is Nexus 6 compared to Nexus 5 in terms of running all these differenet OSes,
and generaly in its support for modding and such...
thx

Well it has many custom ROM options as does Nexus5, official multirom, first to get updates etc.. But unfortunately, it doesn't have Firefox or Ubuntu or sailfish. They're made by multirom developer and I dont think there's been much done w those. I've tried them on my nexus 7 and wasn't impressed. So I wouldn't run it even if were offered. 6 is bigger but as far as specs.. That's when I hit Google. Lol
Got a 6,2013 7, 2013 7 LTE. I love my nexus. Can't go wrong. I still have the galaxy nexus from years ago.

Putting aside the issue of running non-Android OSes -- which comment #2 covers pretty well -- both the N5 and the N6 support Android-based custom roms very well. Both have unlocked bootloaders so you can load anything that will run on the hardware and flash a factory image of stock Android so you're back to where you started (including going back to various earlier Android versions.)
I've had a Nexus 5 since December, 2013 and it's been excellent -- A++. And I don't think it will be obsolete for at least another year (meaning we'll have updates from Google.) Add to that the exceptional value: you can pick up a new one on eBay for about $200 -- I think -- don't hold me to it.
I've also had a Nexus 6 since March of this year and, while I'm happy with it and wouldn't send it back, I must say that it has some issues. It has run very hot a few times. Read some reviews -- they're not all good. Plus, it's much more expensive than the N5. I like them both but, considering price, the N5 blows away the N6, IMHO.

Ah I see, well I think I'll first have to check them out hands on because N6 by specs seems to be huge and everyone says so, while looking on the pictures it doesn't really seems like that and I have used phones with 4 inch screens until now so really not sure about this ??

If it seems large at first you will get used to it. That big sexy screen will win you over

The more you use it, the better you'll like it!

WebOS/LuneOS for Nexus 5 and 4

I always dreamed about having this OS on my Nexus 5, since I tried and used it on my Nexus 4 a couple of years ago. This OS, from which both iOS and Android (and also others) picked and developed some ideas, was one of the best OSes ever conceived for portable devices. Well, Nexus 4 first and Nexus 5 now can install both stable or nightlies versions of WebOS (now called LuneOS). Just found on the official site some information and links
Nexus 4

Nexus 5

There are also links for testing on desktop and Raspberries devices
Stable builds

Nightlies

have you tested that rom?

i tested the latest "stable"-release for a while and it drives me crazy.
1.) language settings won't work
2.) i have no clue how i use this os, go back in programs etc..., the ui isn't userfriedly and logical
3.) the worst is, you can't shut down the device, when you choose "shutdown" the device reboots.
for me its a big mess and won't fun at all. many bugs and no logical interface. At the moment i would say no to it.

It's completely another OS (a 2010 one I believe, it's normal to see big differences from today's OSes), it's not Android at all, so watch some YouTube videos to have a general idea of how to use it. Anyway, I tested it two years ago when I had the Nexus 4 and it was 90% fine, almost all working and lagless. Don't know about it now, I just put a thread with informations here on XDA.
