Flo - Nexus 7 (2013 Wifi only)

This is not being worked on right now, however it’s the most mainline phone besides the N900 AFAIK.

Status

Halium

There are currently no effort to get Hallium to work on Flo directly although there is work being done to port it to the Nexus 7 (2013 LTE) aka deb by user doniks. There seem to be cases were images work on both phones which should be the case since deb is flo with additional mobile network capabilites.

Kernel & Hardware

Mainline Kernel (4.13rc4 as of writing)

Most of the drivers is already mainlined. Check John Stultzes kernel below for what is missing.

The “John Stultz” almost mainline Kernel (4.11 latest)

John Stultz from Linaro has been working some time on getting everything for the Nexus 7 mainline and the most promising candidate to try on this device should be one of his kernel branches. The 4.10 branch is just 23 commits different from mainline!

LOS 14.1 Android Kernel (3.4.0)

Unclear whether security bug fixes are implemented into this kernel (long term 3.4 kernel @ kernel.org has version 3.4.113).

Canonical’s Ubuntu Touch Kernel (3.4.0 based)

This is listed because it used the kernel backports to integrate newer drivers in the orginal vendor kernel which might be usefull in some cases. It can be found here.

Device Specifics

This should be populated with guides how to get into different boot modes and similar. Maybe this can be pulled from the LOS device database. For now check the LOS device page linked in the table above.
