What is Nexus FLO? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi,
I'm new to this and just purchased a Nexus 2nd generation 2013. I just wondering what is FLO stand for? I want to make sure I will flash the right firmware/rom for my correct model.
Thanks

For all intents and purposes they are the same thing, and people use them interchangeably.
Technically, FLO is google's name for the device and RAZOR is their name for the product, including all its software.

5 Nexus branded phones?

I wasn't able to watch the Google I/O yesterday so I decided to search the internet but couldn't find my answer.
Will we see 5 Nexus devices announced this October like the rumor suggested or is it unlikely?

What?
You mean like a new nexus phone?
Yes sir.
Rumors running around the internet are that google will release 5 Nexus devices each from different manufacturers.
For example, one from Samsung, another from HTC, etc.
I want to know if google said anything about this during the Google I/O yesterday.

Not sure if they said something about 5 new phones, but they said, they are trying to fix the android version fragmentation problem.
Nope, wasn't mentioned. We'll most likely hear about it later in the year
Alright, thanks

I was hoping for an announcement too. Also when the price of the Galaxy Nexus was brought down to 350$ I was expecting something.
My old N1 is dying on me! Need a new Nexus phone!
The rumor was up to 5 Nexus "Devices", not necessarily phones.
They already have the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q, and if you include the Galaxy Nexus, that's 3 Nexus "Devices" that they are selling through the Play Store.

Good point! Wait for 2 more devices! Hoping for a phone! or even a Nexus 10!
Personally I hope they stick with the 1/year strategy. Makes them feel more special. Having multiple Nexuses (Nexii?) makes it seem like they're gonna go the Galaxy route and literally slap the Nexus name on anything that connects to facebook
Unlimited nexus
How about nexus certified. You get stock rom alternative for these devices and faster update?

Most probably they'll go the Apple route. A tablet and a phone alternating every 6 months, with one major version upgrade a year.
So we'll probably get a new Nexus phone on 4.2+ Jellybean this late fall/winter and one or two other Nexus devices

[Q] Official Name

Ok - what is the official name for the new N7 2013?
I've seen Nexus 7 FLO, Nexus 7 FHD, and just plain Nexus 7 (2013). Which name should I be referring to it in the future?
Flo.
For Shizzle
There's already a thread for this here + it doesn't really matter what YOU refer to it as aslong as it's evident what you're talking about.

Hello,
Is it the New Nexus 7 released in 2013?
If yes, I am not even aware it is available yet although I did read in the news that a man from China got it by mistake while shipping it from USA.
Do not tell me that you are that guy
Well, if you have the old model, Nexus 7 2012, then you have posted this in the wrong thread.
If you have the new Nexus 7, It depends that you can run custom roms or not. No one has seen the binaries or flash images for the New Nexus 7 so I can not say it might work or not. You might have to take the risk if you still want to try.
Also, I think unless LTE is integrated with some system files, you will be cool to go and not be able to use communications but that is still highly unlikely because from the old Nexus 7 LTE model, I know the source binaries were quite different.
You can even hard brick your device.
My advice, enjoy the LTE till it is official.
I work for a mobile company in the UK. So I have a final test one. A nexus 2013 LTE.

Any word on a release date?
Can you make a nandroid of that rom beforehand and upload it?
(I would recommend against using TWRP for the moment as it has a lot of issues with nandroids, there seem to be a working CWM at the moment)

Probably never will make any voice calls, they so far go on overlaid 3g networks due to lots of upgrades required in the backhaul. Voip, ie. CSipSimple, is the way to go. And you will need a headset.
The Phone App is in the filesystem but doesn't show in the ui.
I'm hoping this will be different as it uses a different chip than the nexus 7 3g(2012)
The 2013 N7 LTE should be using a APQ8064-1AA + MDM9615A + WTR1605L,
which is very similar to the APQ8064 + MDM9615A + WTR1605L on the N4.
While it might be (hypothetically) possible for it to do so in hardware, it could still be disabled.
Both the N4 and 2013 N7's wifi/bt chips also support fm radio at the silicon level, but it's disabled at the chip level.
The LTE on the N4 is disabled at the firmware level (as the lte mod is due to leftover code, if it were not for that it doesnt have LTE period)
It could have voice calls disabled at the silicon level, chip level, firmware level, or rom level, since they can easily spec modems that have broken voice call support since it's not used in the first place.

If your read the thread you would have found that he got it because he was a tester or something. He posted proof that it was legit.

[Q]

Hello guys please help me out.I am in a dilemma as to whether I should i buy Nexus 4 it Nexus 7(2013).I was told that smartphones normally get more no of custom Roms than tablets and they also get OS updates for longer than tablets,you guys say this is true?And I am a lot into custom Roms and such things.But android for Nexus 7 has some nice Exclusice features as well!
Your response could help me buy the right one,please
Nexus 5.
Of you want a smart phone, get the nexus 4. If you want a tablet, get the nexus 7. They both will get android updates at about the same time.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Isn't the underlying question more important? So you need a phone or a tablet?
Either way though. Its a bit weird asking people what you should buy without saying what it is your looking for.
If all you care about is updates and custom roms...since these are both nexus devices, their going to be about the same.

Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) Android M Port

I was wondering if there was an Android M Developer Preview port for the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi model.
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013
I'd like to know this as well. I traded in my LG G3 shortly after purchase, not that I didn't like the device, but work was going to BYOD and I find an iOS device preferable for work and personal, where I use Android for personal only, and had used WP8 for work only previously.
Anyway, I recently heard about Android M Dev Preview, but my only two Android devices at the moment are the original Xoom tablet (Wifi, no 3G) and a Nexus 7 (2013). So if I could load and check it out without having to buy a newer tablet, that would be nice.
It would almost be impossible! Google hasn't released any APIs yet for Android M.

They did it for the original Nexus 7 so why not this one?
