Nexus 7 - Android 4.1.2 is available

corkie

Google is pushing OTA updates for it at the moment, anyone inpatient can visit the xda forms and download and apply the update themselves.

One of the features of the update is the ability to rotate the home screen.

Simple update direct from Google, installed with Rom manager, a breeze to install

Your device needs to be a completely stock Nexus 7 running Android 4.1.1, build JRO03D.

Mine was restored some time back due to not been happy with most of the rom's id tried

Forget the full manual update process

Being fairly new to Android can I check a term with ye ... "completely stock " does unlocked and rooted mean it is not completely stock ?

From the second post in the xda link in the OP

My Nexus 7 (stock, unlocked, rooted) just updated. Did not lose Root.

Stock ROM I'd imagine is all.

No sign of it OTA for me last night. Maybe later

What's new in it? Just stock launcher rotation is it?

The only noticeable change is homescreen rotation the rest is bug fixes see a list of changes here http://www.funkyandroid.com/aosp-JRO03R-JZO54K.html

You can also now extend notifications with just 1 finger instead of 2!

Still no sign of the update for me , did anyone in Ireland get it OTA or did ye do it manually ?

Yeah I started getting notifications an hour or two ago OTA, just installing it now. Originally a German Nexus 7 - 16GB. Hope it doesn't feck up root or anything.

I wonder if it originally coming from Germany is a factor , maybe serial numbers were allocated to different regions and it is pushed out OTA to those regions at different times .

I also wonder if I am talking out through my arse .

While I wouldn't rule that out 100%, I'd say it is indeed the serial numbers that dictate who gets what and when.

Did it manually myself!
Took all of 5 mins as I have Rom Manager installed.

The MCR will be updated in the morning

i was trying to manually install it for ages, going through different guides, unlocked my bootloader and installed clockwork and turned on the nexus and the update was there, its updating now.

Well for me 4.1.1 was pretty unstable, slowing down after about an hours use.
4.1.2 is very smooth.
Only real noticeable differences for users would be the landscape mode on the home screen and the extendible notifications can now be extended with 1 finger instead of 2!

chrislad

Got the update yesterday afternoon. Nova Launcher doesn't rotate the screen so may need to wait for an update so gone back to stock launcher.

jonski

Still no sign of it here

Q&A

Rooted and on stock and got notification of update last night. Haven't installed it yet. I presume this isn't an issue but I'll ask anyway. Does it wipe the memory?




No real rush updating as I've tested the build prop to rotate screen anyway

jonski

I have the clockwork recovery mod installed , I wonder would this be the difference ?

Heroditas

Update was pushed to mine last night.
Don't notice any real difference post installation.

lads,
I've rooted with stock Rom and the past day I keep getting the notification to update to 4.1.2 every few mins when I awake the device.

If I update, will I lose my root or what?

I want to update but I've all my apps and settings configured the way I like.

Install rootkeeper before updating! Your apps and settings will still be there after update.

Patsy fyre

Still haven't got this update.
Even though it won't make any difference to this device I'm annoyed that I haven't got it yet.

Thanks

Do I have to do a nandroid backup before or what?

corkie

If you want to run a backup but there is no need all the update is doing is patching some system files! Rember after you installed rootkeeper make sure you also run it before applying the update!

Amalgam

Sideways Android with a triangle hanging out of its stomach.. is that.. good?

Probably not. The update was pushed to my Nexus 7 today, it rebooted and did the upright Android with the crystal thingummy, then sideways Android with triangle of Doom..

Tablet booted up again and still shows 4.1.1.

Running a stock Google image, Rooted\Unlocked (bog standard Wugfresh Rooting kit)

Slydice

Just upgraded mine from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 about an hour ago.

Got it in HMV on Grafton Street a few weeks ago.

Had to do the trick mentioned earlier:
1. Settings->Apps->All->Google Framework Service->Force Stop and Then Clear Data
2. Settings->About Tablet->System Updates->Check Now

I lost root after the update but wasn't a big deal to root again with Wugs NRT (doesn't need a wipe to reroot).

They are not network dependent as they have no SIM card. The update is issued by Google.

I did this last night and it worked a treat.

Thanks Slydice.

Mine arrived OTA last night.

Have patience, this is a roll-out so it can take several days for your turn.

Amalgam

Pushed to me twice now.. installed, reboot. Still at 4.1.1. I dread having to reinstall some of the larger apps.

Bog standard Google Rom with a Wugs Root and unlock.

Patsy fyre

Just got the ota update.
Not noticing any visible differences so far.

Did you mod your build prop or install ICS browser? sounds like it tried installing but failed.. bit of tweaking when rooted will cause the update to fail when it gets pushed.

Haha turn it sideways on the homescreen you might see something different then

Patsy fyre

Turned it sideways and it's not going into landscape mode, is this because I'm using nova launcher prime?

Technophobe

Got mine too last night..

Jet Black

Mine seems to be a little bit slower now when I open the magnetic cover. It came straight on before but is taking a couple of seconds now. Also the apps on the home screen don't load sometimes when in landscape.

Technophobe

Do u need to do something/change a setting to get it to go to landscape?
Have turned mine a couple of times now and it hasnt switched....
I have a cover over it...

Make sure you don't have the locked turned on, pull down the notification window and unlock it if its locked!

Is screen rotation locked? You can unlock it on the notifications panel.

dregin

buh, I clearly wasn't on the last page of the thread when I posted my last comment. Apologies.

HI Guys wondering if anyone else has seen this. I updated my nexus 7 last week without unrooting etc using the app that was available and all went according to plan. Around the same time I got a virus on my flash drive and had to format it after getting rid of the virus. I know have my stuff back on the flash drive but when I connect it to my nexus 7 and open astro it shows the one folder on the flash drive but that it is empty. Connect it back to my PC and everything is there? Any suggestions?
