  1. Good morning Fedi friends!

    I set up my alarm at 6:20am - as usual - to have at least an hour to myself before the little one wakes up. Yes, even on a Sunday.

    I looked up videos about how to flash LineageOS on my Nexus 7 (2012)... And discovered a charming tutorial about TWRP recovery loader... done by a kid - I'm guessing in his early teens - some 8 years ago. The kids are alright!

    If my little one started making videos about jailbreaking devices / installing custom ROMs 10 years from now, I would be so proud ☺️​

    Anyway, wishing you all a great day!

  2. Good morning Fedi friends,

    I hope you've had a lovely week thus far.

    I've been busy with creative projects... and I also have been resurrecting, repurposing and/or jailbreaking old devices:

    📱​ I wiped my iPhone 6 which has an AMAZING form factor + standard audio jack, put my entire music library on it and essentially turned it into an iPod (no need for a self-hosted music server... for now)

    📱​ I jailbroke two Kindles v4 (2011-2012)

    📱​ I resurrected my Google #Nexus7 (2012 edition) which had been my first and most favorite tablet to date – its form factor is also incredible - and I'm looking into flashing Lineage OS on it... because it won't install anything and is pretty sluggish as is

    📱​ I got a #GooglePixel 9a and immediately installed #GrapheneOS on it.

    In case you've been wondering what I've been up to... not much self-hosting but a lot of tweaking of devices 🤗​

    Wishing you all a great weekend!

  3. Aha, das muß ich jetzt* erledigen
    "Vom Ende der Außenhülle, dort wo der Zug am Hinterrad aus der Hülle heraus kommt, messen Sie bei einer Nexus 7 Schaltung 127 mm bis zur Mitte des Bolzens ab."

    *)hab mir schon vor einer Woche Ersatzteil - Satz (Drehgriff & Bowdenzug) besorgt.
    Und die Info fehlte mir; die 127 mm Länge

  4. Okay I know most of you don't know, but the Nexus 7 was the *pinnacle* of tablet size. Bigger than you want a phone to be, small and light enough to hold with one hand comfortably.

    Near perfection.

  5. Mein #Nexus7 hat was. Keine Reaktion beim Anstecken an den USB. Keine Reaktion bei irgendeiner bekannten Tasten-Kombination.

    Das wäre sehr schade...

  6. Replacing battery 🪫 after almost 10 years of using this tablet. Let’s see how it holds. #nexus7 #2013

  7. Dank Tad, dem alleinigen Entwickler hinter #DivestOS kann ich mein altes #Nexus7 wieder verwenden.

    #DivestOS hab ich auf Empfehlung von @kuketzblog installiert, bin damit super happy.

    @kuketzblog hat mich auch auf die Info hingewiesen, dass es gerade einen Spendenaufruf zur Fortführung des tollen Projekts gibt.

    Das Geld war es mir wert. Vlt dir ja auch?

    #FundYourDeveloper

    Thanx @divested for your highly appreciated work on #DivestOS

  8. Projekt geht doch weiter. #DivestOS wird gerade draufgespielt

    #Nexus7

  9. Aktuelles Projekt:

    Mein altes #Nexus7 Tablet von #Asus bzw. #Google auf aktuellen Stand zu bringen.

    #DivestOS oder #PostmarketOS wird es wohl werden.

    Bin gespannt.

  10. Finally wiped my old #Nexus7 (2013) and put #UbuntuTouch on it. The last few apps keeping me on Android on the thing are now useless (including :birdsite:). So might as well.

    This is my bedside computer. The app experience so far is... not great, but I'm mostly in it for light browsing and ebooks anyway. At least it's a lot more snappy than Android... Thanks, @ubports

  11. My 10 year old #Nexus7 tablet is running a more modern version of Android (12) than my 3 year old phone (11, fully updated from official sources).

    #LineageOS vs. proprietary Android...

  12. I still have mine and it still works ✌️ #android #nexus7

    "10 years ago, Google launched the 2nd-gen Nexus 7, and no tablet has captured its magic since"

  13. The Nexus 7 was Google’s only great tablet, and it has never tried to replace it - Enlarge / Someone poking at a 2013 Nexus 7, Google's last (and possibly... - arstechnica.com/?p=1937592 #pixeltablet #google #nexus7 #tech

  14. "As a child, I used to think that the idea that Feanor could only make the silmarils once was a ridiculous idea, since the world was full of things that were mass produced.

    Now I know that the economic forces of the universe conspire to prevent such a perfect thing from ever being created again. It is a fallen world."

    - from my epitaph for the Nexus 7 tablet.

  15. So, I'm having a bit of a tidy up day and I just found my old #Nexus7 tablet.

    I barely used it when I bought it in 2013, so it's in amazing condition as far as the hardware goes, but it's running #Android 4.4.4.... I'm sure there's probably some sort of upgrade path I could take for it, anybody have any suggestions and/or guidance?

  16. @cappuMUC Für die Suche nach passenden #CustomROMs würde ich empfehlen:
    1. für offizielle ROMs (u.a. #eOS #DivestOS #LineageOS ) mal über #Sustaphones schauen: gnulinux.ch/sustaphones-suche-…

    2. u.a. im Forum vpn #eOS werden auch Listen gepflegt über die inoffiziellen Versionen: community.e.foundation/t/list-…
    (kennt jmd Ähnliches für andere ROMs?)

    3. Sonst über xda Forum nach anderen inoffiziellen Versionen suchen

    Bezogen auf das #Nexus7 : für eine der drei Varianten (Codename: flox) gibt es aktuelle Versionen von eOS, DivestOS & LineageOS , für die anderen beiden Varianten nur veraltete (je nach Einsatzzweck reichen die evtl. trotzdem). Da ggf. mit Schritt 2-3 weitersuchen.

    Oder #UbuntuTouch wäre noch eine Option: devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device… Aber der Entwicklungsstatus für "flo" und "deb" sieht da nicht so richtig gut aus.
  17. @[email protected] I have a , running . It works, but is a very slow experience. Proceed with your expectations set pretty low. I'm going to try something else on it soon.

  18. New video out, today we're looking at the experience of using the Nexus 7, a tablet I got for £10, with Linux!:

  19. After installing Ubuntu Touch on a 2013 Nexus 7 tablet, I purchased another to use with LineageOS. In this post, I discuss the install process and subsequently rooting my device with Magisk. Thus far, it has worked well and I use my LineageOS Nexus 7 for reading the news and accessing Wallabag.

  20. I purchased a refurbished 2013 Asus Nexus 7 to try Ubuntu Touch. I used the UBports Installer and got it working with little hassle. In this post, I describe the process and offer some (very) early and brief impressions of Ubuntu Touch. I look forward to learning more about it and writing a longer piece in the future.
