Ubuntu Touch for Nexus 7 Flo 4.4?

Hello xda developers!
Well I just grabbed my Nexus 7 a few days ago and I had lots of fun rooting the tablet and installing TWRP recovery manager along with MultiRom. I can't wait to start flashing and adding new roms to the device and the first one that I really want to try is Ubuntu Touch, but I can't seem to find the image file for the Nexus 7 2013 running Android 4.4 Kit Kat.
I have the kexec-patch installed on my kernel which is necessary for Ubuntu Touch but i am not sure if it available (as of yet) for N7 Flo running 4.4
If it is available (which i really hope it is) could someone provide with a link to download the necessary files, and if at all possible could someone please post a tutorial on installing Ubuntu Touch. I am sure it probably almost the same process as flashing an Android OS but I would still like something to reference.
Again i really hope Ubuntu Touch is available...and i would like to thank all of the members and especially the developers of xda. You are what make android great, and you are the reason i will never buy an iphone/ipad! :laugh:
I thank you all for your time and assistance...

There is a thread on this topic. Hope it helps.

thanks for the heads up.
Thank you so much for the link...it seems that there is still a lot of work to be done to get Ubuntu Touch to work with N7 Flo. I hope that the developers can accomplish this and I thank them for there efforts.
Thanks again for the link...

Remix OS

Hi guys, I'm a new one here at the N7 forum, so I was wondering if have a chance of porting remix OS to the N7?? Some Dev want to try?? well I'm studying software engineering and maybe this can be a project, let me know what you guys think
PS: sorry about my English, still studying it[emoji14]

I gave my hand at attempting to port it when it came out but I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong as I could get the ROM to boot up to the boot animation, but the OS itself would not start the UI. I used some of the tutorials on here to attempt porting, but most of the tutorials are for 4.1 and below, so I'm not sure if I was missing something like SELinux contexts on files or something. That said, if you can get further porting it I'd be happy to test, been using PhoenixOS but would love to try RemixOS on my tablet.

Well i will talk with some friends at the uni and see if someone wants to help me with this, any progress i will post, but for now it's just a idea, thanks for the input D :good:

Miui or Emotion rom,anyone?

I don't want to discredit the miracles all friends here doing.Really, some ROMs can turn our phones into spaceships(!)with all those features.But if i'll see another cm-based rom here,i will slit my wrist(not to mention that CM-based roms have issues AND they're not compatible with some system ZenUI apps,like flip cover,radio or Splendid)!There are some really nice looking "skins"of Android firmware,like Miui or EMUI,with really cool features,too!Will someone give them a shot?!

You know, our phone is x86 based and this is a major reason why we'll never got such roms like MIUI, LewaOS or EMUI it's rather dificalt to build it or to port it to our phone.

We don't see miui because the patchrom is only on android 4.4 which our device never got so we don't have drivers for that and it is really hard to port from another phone since the zf2 has and x86 intel processor

first of all your thread is in wrong place
I don't get you guys i mean you are talking like we can easily build port bla bla ... but we are not doing
i mean why you guys try to do that by yourself instead of commanding us to do that
yeah miui just got a patch rom for 5.0 now one of our devs is trying to bring it up when we had chance believe me my friend we are trying that just before you tell us

As i said,i don't want to descredit the huge work you're all doing and definitely not going to "command" anyone.And it seems i will never understand where is the right place to post here!I'm glad to hear this is going to happen!Thank you for your reply and the hard work you're all doing,really!

I wonder: Why is this thread on development section?
I personally agree with @Nyks45.
MIUI's patchrom source is available (and updated to use 6.0 as base), but I don't think devs could port MIUI to our x86 devices, since patchrom files are for arm (and arm64 (?)).

MIUI8's patchrom uses 6.0 as base ROM.
EDIT:
By the way, if someone could manage to port it without any major problems, I myself would greatly appreciate it in any way.

but can we port Nexus experience rom? just asking if possible

Well,
CM13 Is A Very Stable rom so why can't we use CM sources combined with MIUI?

@adaa1262
You can't use the CM13 MIUI roms because the compilations with MIUI are for Snapdragon processors not for Intel
Each processor type have their own tree for the builds

Rom Request

Hello XDA community! I would like miui 8 on the Samsung galaxy s4 mini plus (I9195I) please. If you do build it please make a thread about it and link me to the thread here. Thank you!

Just for the record: There is a MIUI 8 Patchrom repo for I9195I by @Danil_e71: https://github.com/Danile71/MIUI8_patchrom_samsung_serranovexx
As you asked me if I could help towards building MIUI 8: I don't have a big personal interest in MIUI at the moment and I don't know how far @Danil_e71 got porting it to our device. That's why I don't think I will find time to work on it in the near future, sorry! Hopefully he will find time to work on it again.
Anyway, I would recommend to add some details to the title of the thread (like "Rom Request: MIUI 8 for I9195I").

It'd be a great thing if you did have an interest in miui and built miui 8 for our device, I believe it'd be most popular I'll also try change the thread title when I get on PC at some point. Of course I do respect the fact you don't take an interest in MIUI but would still be cool to see on this device.

Nice! Thanks!

when making the thread you have to select from dropdown about what android version you are building so android O is probably not available yet that is why he selected N.

Is RIL working good?
I can help test this ROM if calling,etc is working

How long we can expect a next update? And are you looking forward to supporting this rom in the future?
Thanks for the work.

Volte is not working .

Hello thanks hogger,
There's something called courtesy. When it's really clear that Davide was working on AEX and fixing things, it was a bad move for you to post a build with his sources before he posted his build. He is focusing on quality and trying to fix all major bugs before releasing instead of giving people half baked stuff. So I'd suggest you get this thread closed and not pull such stuff in the future.
Regards,
Another person who was able to boot oreo but is waiting for Davide to release his stuff first

So far, loving the ROM. I've been waiting for this ROM for a long time now. And here are few things
Cons:
VoLTE not working
Recents tiles are inverted
Camera doesn't work as expected.
Heating can be expected.
Pros:
Smooth for an initial build
Android O, period
Its simple and clean.

Hi sir,
Your work is amazing, i can't even imagine how you managed to fork my great and better than you fellow friend Davide's device trees and compiled the rom.
Truly amazing sir.
I admire your work, I still can't think how much brains would it be needed for making an unofficial thread even when Davide(my great and better than you fellow friend) didn't gave a word of quitting the AospExtended.
You are truly awesome and Davide's(my great and better than you fellow friend) work will not be as good as yours i think.
Thanks a lot for your true hardwork rather than Davide's(my great and better than you fellow friend) simple bug fixing work.
Thanks again.
I wanna donate you rather than donating hard working Davide(my great and better than you fellow friend)
Regards,
Harvey Spectar
