Installing SailfishOS on Nexus 7 (grouper)
 

Hi,

Looking at installing SailfishOS on a Nexus 7 which is almost useless with the most up to date Android.

The Mer adaptions page links to Download CyanogenMod 10.1.3 that isn't downloadable (over quota) and a broken link to the instructions.

I can't find the exact download by Googling

Can anyone tell me if a newer CyanogenMod build will work and where I can find instructions?

Thanks,

Gabriel

I think CyanogenMod is dead.

https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Ada...OS_for_grouper

Instruction CyanogenMod - archive

CyanogenMod image - rus mirror

When you missing something else, post exact filename I downloaded for Nexus 7 (tilapia) many things which could be the same for grouper.

it may need a new port tbh for cm11 or cm12 as a base

According to the file list in https://itvends.com/android/ there is torrent link which should provide it (I didn't test it). The correct checksum you can fetch from here https://archive.fo/7D342 to check whether it are really the same files.

Thank, probably not got time to get into doing a new port but would it be a case of starting from scratch or upgrading the files in the old grouper sailfish image?

Though I want to see Sailfish on this device too, look at this (LineageOS 14.1 20170609 unofficial):

This works very good and is really fast. But try to install an older image first like 20170315 - second thread!!! and then upgrade to the newest one (see whole thread). When you try to install the newest one directly you may have problems going through the startup wizzard (nobody knows why)

[Update]
Before installing think about formatting to f2fs and install ftrim (like trimmer) afterwards. This just boosts up the speed. All stuff is discussed in the thread
