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!

@elena have a great one, Elena! 🙂 Yeah, hacking kids are awesome! They have time and desire to explore... all essential things to make great things!

@elena This brings back memories. I squeezed a lot of reading out of my N7-2012 with LineageOS and TWRP. Finally lost it to a tear in the power on button. Hope you have a lot of fun with yours!

@elena there is no snooze button on them… 🙃 Good for you to be able to have time before the little one wakes up.. every time I tried this mine just started his day early 🥲

@elena Have a good Sunday! 🤗

@jan Indeed! Have a great Sunday Jan!

@elrohir Thanks! Still trying to figure out how to get TWRP on it… connectivity is very flaky (Google Store won’t connect, security certificates for sites are broken, etc.). I just want to turn this into a Kindle (so I can take advantage of the colored highlighter function)…

@me I had the same problem… so I started waking up at 6:20am every day. Somehow on school days I still struggle to get her out of bed, but on weekends she wakes up early 🤪

@tizianomattei You too!

@elena I have that Nexus as well! Pretty amazing tablet, but unfortunately mine died some time ago and never started again... Also, its hardware became exceptionally slow... I think somehow Google pushed its obsolescence pretty hard...

[elena@aseachange.com]

@fmors yes the planned obsolescence is baaad. But Fernando, if you're interested in reviving it, I say: don't give up.

Mine looked completely dead... I managed to resurrect it by opening it, unplugging the battery and plugging it back in.

Then I found the original charging cable and kept it charging for at least a day...

Then I tried the combination of holding power + up volume (or maybe it was the down one?) for a long time and suddenly it powered up!
