where to find security update - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have twrp installed and updated,after fighting with gapps for sometime I managed to get pico installed ( don't know why was such a problem I have 10gb of storage available), and lineage 14.1 on my nexus 7 2013 wifi (flo). My lineage version is 15.1-20180815, my android security patch level is "August 5, 2018".
I'm trying to find out if there is a newer security patch version available, I can flash or sideload and where to download it from. Google stopped with seciruty patches for my N7 almost 2 years ago, so thats a no go. Anyone know where to get the latest, if there is a later than August on lineage.

My apologies to the forum for posting this in the wrong thread section. I was at it until 3 am last night. I guess an August 2018 security patch from lineage is a lot better than what I was getting from Goog which was zilch. I can't believe have fast this old N7'13 is running now. Just wanted to thank the forum for all the links and info on how to install twrp & a new mod, this was my first try at it.

Now that my Pro 8.4 is old, do I need to worry about meltdown/spectre?

Now that my Pro 8.4 is old and doesn't get updates, do I need to worry about meltdown/spectre?
Are there/will be official/unofficial roms that have a patch for the ARM bug?
*scared to use my 8.4*
Yeah, it's probably affected, if you are using the stock samsung rom, however if you are using a custom rom like Lineage OS and regularly update it, then the latest google security patch (12/17) or newer should be installed which should fix the exploit(s).
you can find the Security Patch date under Settings > About.

No more updates since 1st January?

I've bought this phone earlier this year (at a big store) and I haven't received an update. I haven't rooted/modified ROM/unlocked bootloader or anything. I used it as it is.
But the thing is that the phone can't connect to the OTA updates, and it should have at least find the latest security patches. What is wrong?

Actualy there is a more recent Pie build with march patches : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82210047&postcount=158
It's weird that the OTA is not working.
I recently flashed Oreo stock rom ( miflash) and upgraded to Pie over OTA, i could only get the 10.18 version, probably other update is pulled to, it was 75mb , maybe just security patch and some software to prepare upgrade to android 10

Google puts out the updates, in general; every month or as needed. I have no communications with the developer GothicIV. I just check his web site and if the security updates are there, I download and apply to my phone.
GothicIV posted September 2020 updates yesterday (19th).
October 2020 security updates are available...
November 2020 security updates available.
December 2020 security updates are available
Hey there,
I have attempted to update to the 3 most recent security patches (Oct 25, Nov 7, Dec 13) for LineageOS 16.0 (potter) provided by gothicVI, but after successfully flashing them my phone bootloops back to TWRP 3.4.0.0 after trying to boot system for a few minutes.
I have logcat logs for each security patch boot attempt.
I am currently stuck on the Oct 9 security patch as it is the latest version that will boot on my phone.
Where I can get help with this?
gothicVI is awesome, so far Moto G5 Plus seems pretty much abandoned, pixel experience lags too much on my 2gb ram variant. Time to buy a new phone but for now gonna use this.

Is that the only issue? I flashed crDroid 6.13 from the latest twrp with no problems so far. Any issues besides restore I should be aware of if I decide to move to another rom?

You probably installed an unofficial version. Get official, if this is your device.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pioneer/
You are right. I installed unofficial version. How it is possible if I download this from official download lienageos website?
I also have problem with lack of support for "apps at SDCard". Is it possible that this is bacause of unofficial version?

You can't download unofficial lineageOS from lineageos.org - be careful with domain name.
SD card handling is generally not smooth in android. Mainly because Google pixel phones don't have SD card. I recommend using SD as portable storage and only use it for backup.

Stock rom with latest security patches?

Hi,
is it possible to keep the stock rom and install newest google security patches?
It would be better to keep everything as it is (also user data) and just install security patches.
I love this phone and I don't need a new one. I'm also fine with the stock rom.
The only thing what bothers me is that the last security patch is 5 months ago.
(im familiar with flashing custom roms years ago: cyanogenmod on galaxy s3, lineagueos on s5. But since then I did not get in touch with the custom roms topic)
Thank you!

If you're on A12 try using Oxygen Updater to see if a later update is available.
Otherwise 1+ has ended updates for the 7 series

Yes oneplus ended updates and I don't like custom roms.
So the only option for me would be to buy a new phone just because I want security patches...

Afraid so. Security updates are pretty much over once the manufacturer stops tweaking the patches for a particular line.
Even Google only promises Pixel security updates for 5 years.
