[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'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

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!

Nexus 6P vs Note 5 for Development

Hi everyone!
I'm currently using a LG G3, and it's time to upgrade.
I've narrowed my choices down to either the Nexus 6P or the Note 5. I'm in the UK, so it would defo be easier to source a 6P but I kinda like the idea of the Note 5.
My question is though, since I do like rooting and ROMing, is the Note 5 locked down and a lot harder to ROM/mess with than the 6P. I do seem to get 'bored' of mobile phones after around 6 months and the ability to ROM and change the phone is pretty important.
So, should I think twice about the Note 5, or is it pretty open and can be ROMed pretty easily?
Cheers!

Nexus p has more development compared to note device.

Ahhhh, maybe best leaning towards a 6P then.

Its one thing having plenty of rom choices however
Im just coming from a nexus 6, plenty of roms but to be honest very little difference between them, tried chroma, aosip and pure nexus, but i will tell you what i always experienced, random reboots. Now first off i appreciate the time and effort all devs put in, been their done that, but to be honest i just want a device that works now and samsung has a good range of options and features. Im not sure what all the fuss was with pure stock android, Yes MM was on my device from day one but then i felt like a google beta tester for the first 6 months.
The 6p is a sweet device but i chose the note 5 as an all round package its hard to beat, however as you mention you have OCFD then yes the Nexus 6p would be a better device for your needs, if you do get the 6p, then AOSIP was the most stable for me out of the 3 main ones, either way you will be happy with the device you choose

I agree with this statement...all the nexus 6 roms are practically the same. One thing that had me doing the jazz hand for (i forgot the name) was in the original development thread that basically baked all the features I love into the STOCK rom that came with the file....otherwise, from one rom to the next was the same, just different bugs lol. I too just want a stable rom, been running the same on my note 5 for the past 4 weeks lol.
But to answer the OP, go with the 6p if you want to get your flashing on. So many things to flash, so little time lol.

hey I would like to add that the note roms are all the same
there isnt even aosp project
the best device I had in roms was The one m8 gpe .aosp and sense it was incredible I dream of the day the m10 would have a gpe version I would seel my note and get in without thinking.

I lived under the impression that Note 5 was made for productivity not for fun ) But maybe I'm wrong.

Hey op. I have to agree with he general outlook of the folks here that if it's about flashing ROMs then there really isn't a device to hold a candle to the nexus 6p.
That being said I had a oneplus one and a nexus before I got the note 5 for the same reason. Once I got over the compulsive need to flash roms kernels and the like though I have been really happy with the stable experience I've had with the note so far. Hope this helps.

WebOS/LuneOS on Nexus 5

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
http://webos-ports.org/wiki/Mako_Info
Nexus 5
http://webos-ports.org/wiki/Hammerhead_Info
There are also links for testing on desktop and Raspberries devices
Stable builds

Nightlies

Links for ipks (kind of the apks for WebOS) and some other stuff

I just found out about this. Since my Nexus 5 isn't being used at the moment, I figured I'd try it out. I came from webOS using a Pre Plus before coming to Android so it's awesome to see this. I installed it and it works. It's not perfect obviously but it's still cool to see it again. I actually still have my Pre Plus but I like seeing it on a bigger screen. Are any of those ipk files worth installing? Has anyone tried them? And is this in active development? I see some recent nightlies but went with the stable version.

Yes, LuneOS is in active development. They are presently working on porting in a huge number of packages that LG just released open source for their new webOS open source edition release.

can ii post issues i have with it here ?
