I'm looking for a very stable and fluid ROM - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello!
I just revivie my old Nexus 7 (flo) after four years of broken screen. So, all the apps updated to date, using stock Marsmallow means slow everywhere.... I just want to use it to read PDF articles and watch series when I am not at home. That's it. Dont really care the Android version.
Any sugestions?
Thanks!

You can use pixel experience ROM.

I am still using (and loving it) the very stable LineageOs 7.1, Nougat. It is the last official Lineage Rom for the Nexus 7 (2013).... and wileyc is doing weekly security updates! Here is the link to wileyc's thread:

I'm sure it will only be a matter of time for people to start building for the N7-2013, especially the bigger groups like CM or PureNexus.
I would love a PureNexus 7 for Nexus 7.
We'll not have an official PureNexus for Nexus 7.

Slightly more work than N5, 8960 vs 8974. I have it booting, just no sound yet
someone already has 7.0 running but the camera, manual brightness and google play services keep crashing.

Lineage 14 for Galaxy Nexus

Any chance of getting Lineage 14 for the Galaxy Nexus or is the phone too slow and RAM memory too limited for this version of Android?
Any developer is allowed to build Lineage using the work done on Unlegacy. But this is hard work and everyone here is a volunteer. Unless you know someone who can help, the best you can do right now is running Unlegacy. I don't know if there is any developer who will take a donation from you as a bounty to get if working, but you could message them to ask.
This thread is technically off topic for the development forum

There is also Unlegacy 7.1.1 for our GNex (that ROM was, in fact, my introduction to N on ANY hardware). So why am I not running it now? Simple enough - PureNexus 7.1.1 includes both the Pixel Launcher AND Google Assistant (which can be run together or separately; I run them as a tag-team). At some point, I hope to ambush some unsuspecting Pixel or PixelXL owner with my GNEX.

No idea - it is included WITH the 7.1.x ROMs (both 7.1.0 and 7.1.1). There are ways to add it to 6.x (or even 5.x) - still, I like 7.1.x because it actually feels more *whole* with both PL and Google Assistant in place - which is why I am still hoping to find a Pixel/XL owner to ambush here in VZW turf.

I think that it is better to have threads if people with various problems can help solve the problem.
He will be welcome if it is a thread for that.
If problem solving is possible, he will post for that.lol
Just remain patient.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250, "maguro") is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), which already got LineageOS nightly. They're very similar phones when it comes to features and exterior. Both have 720p AMOLED screens, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, approximation sensors, light meter, earpiece, microphones, headphone jack in exactly the same places. Both feature 1 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Both have HSPA+, but no LTE. They're also just half a year apart concerning their age (December 2011 vs. May 2012). They both feature an ARM Cortex A9 processor, though they utilize different SoCs (GNex = TI OMAP 4460, S3 = Samsung Exynos 4412).
The G-Nex seems to have a larger user base than the G-S3.

Best ROM?

I just got a used Note 4 from Note 2 (running CM12). I really do not like Samsung's stock ROMs. What is a good stable ROM? Is Lineage any good? EmotionOS? Debloat version of stock? suggestions?

I've been on Emotroid 6.0.1 for the past year with very few hiccups but I started looking for a new rom tonight as well.
EmotionOS is pretty much dead. Forums reveal the OP is retired from the N4 but work pseudo continues on through the Verizon wireless build.. Sounds sketchy to me as the sprint variant is no longer supported.
Lineage appears to be the rom Emotroid is built on, that said expect fewer customization's. It's brand new, but the activity on the forum looks promising so it's won my vote and I've got it flashing now.
Lineage is developed by the same guy/team who did CM.

No more update

Do not by it.
The M2 will stay on 5.1, while the M3 is on 7.0
That is a shame From huawei

I wouldn't be so harsh on Huawei. They did provide a means to unlock your device. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of after-market development at the moment. I'd be willing to give it a try but don't really know where to start, however the investigation continues...
<rant>As a side-note, Oppo takes the award for the worst company. As a R7s owner I was surprised at the length they went to stop people developing for this device, and they didn't provide any updates either. If you want to advise anyone which company to avoid, I think Oppo is at the top of the list.</rant>
Yeah it's a real shame. They promised Marshmallow and cancelled it in the end without any information to us users...
Never gonna buy a Huawei again.

There is an Android 6.0 update since a half year. But this don't come over OTA, right? They have canceled this? I could flash it for 6 month. Since this time there come no newer security patches. Really bad by huawei.
The update has broken some things like the launcher. I have must for the person take the settings new. Maybe that was the reason for cancel. Just flashable, no OTA, so do you mean it, right?
For M2-801L (lte-version) we have used the B206. Looks that huawei's developer had gotten no much time for this device. So no official roll out possible. For P8 Lite they roll out every month security patches. Crazy for a cheap phone.
Bye

Samsung are no better.
I have lost count of the amount of Samsung devices that I have owned that have never had more than one or two very minor updates and then been abandoned by them.
My last tablet was the Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, it was released as part of their flagship range at the time, got 3 or 4 security patches then abandoned by them - only ever had 4.4.2 which was a real shame given its good spec and awesome 2560 x 1600 screen.
I dont care about updates
You shouldn't be so harsh on huawei, because updates are only important if you play on your device. I only use it as a media device, and not for games, and I think there will be sufficient apps for it in the next 3 years. It is also important, that no update is better than ****ty update. I just changed from my Nexus 7 to Huawei mediapad, because there was an update to lollipop. beforethe update everything was smooth,now the device is lagging so hard, I wish I were able to downgrade it.

@Boris An sorry to correct you. But with all those newly found security breaches on the SoC level "no update" is unacceptable. I bought it because Huawei stated that they will update the M2 at least to Marshmallow. That's just ridiculous and causes an enormous fragmentation. I'm so glad that Treble has to be active and implemented on all devices delivered with an Android 8 since this year. Won't buy any device running Android 7 or lower any longer, just to show those OEM that it's time for a change. And Huawei is just dead for me. Never again. Such a bad service...
Treble can realise a better update policy across different OEMs and bring Android nearer to the best practice update policy of Apple, assuring more devices to be other latest Android version and security-patch level.

6.0 on 801l available, but security patch just from end 2016. Very bad and there is no newer version like B206?
Will post the name, something like B010 was pushed today as a new security patch.Something like 58Mb, with device improvements and security updates.Didnt install it yet.I have the 16gb wifi version of the 10.1 inch M2.Gladly the still update it, now hoping we will ever get a newer emui.Nice tab, very nice but cant share it with my partner for example due to emui 3.1..Happy anyway!
For the M2 801l it's B208 out with march security patch and EMUI 4.0.3. Better than nothing.
Got this update last week-end:
OTA-M2-A01WV100R001C100B008_B010
This improves system stability and security, along with the newest security patches from Google.
i received the "com.huawei.android.hwouc.17784.apk" through the Yalp store, not google playstore...Is it safe to install it and try update?

8.4 wifi / TM320 - most stable custom firmware?

So the hardware on my 8.4 is still amazing, but Kitkat is getting really really old. I see many custom firmwares available, and most of them say the camera doesn't work.
So first of all, which custom ROMs better than Kitkat are stable enough to be daily drivers? And second, do any of them have the cameras working?
Thanks!

I think you'll find it's just the versions based on Nougat that the camera doesn't work on.

Hmm I see. Maybe I was looking at Marshmallow threads in which people were also talking about Nougat builds.
Any recommendations?
No reply I see...
Did you try some different firmwares? I am also looking for a good working firmware. Can you perhaps share which one works good for every day use?
Thx in advance!
Just give any you like the look of a go. I like Lineage and 14.1 is available for the SM-T320 thanks to the dedication of members here. I can't imagine being on KitKat in 2018. Even LOS 14.1 (Nougat) is a bit of a throwback these days although it remains a popular version.
Hello.
I also bought a used t320 because the Hardware is better than modern lowcost tablets and 1 h after delivery it was already rooted and twrp ed. ?
I choose vanilla unicorns which is based in Marshmallow 6.0.1 . I am quite happy with it so far.? Cameras working , pretty mich all is running fine. I found no bugs so far.
