This is an (hopefully) updated collection of all roms (not android based, but other linux OS, like ubuntu, archlinux, fedora...) for nexus 7 (grouper and tilapia) available using the MultiROM system.
MultiROM is an amazing hack (I want to thank again its author, Tasssadar) that permits to boot different OS (multiboot) and different android roms. It starts between kernel and rom init, showing a sort of bootloader dialog to choose which system to boot.
It supports installing (and booting, of course) roms to USB drives.
To use MultiROM you need multirom installation zip , a modified TWRP recovery and kernels with kexec support. Relax, is not hard or long to do this.
More information and installation (of MultiROM, recovery and kernels) --> [ MULTIROM ]
PS: I need to specify I coded nothing, my only work was helping with issues, repacking roms, make them work. I want to say thank you to all devs are developing for Nexus 7, I'm doing this because I appreciate their work and I want MultiROM to rise. It deserves to.
HOW TO INSTALL A ROM.
Tasssadar provided also a zip template (see the [ WIKI ] for more info) that is incredibly easy to use.
To install a linux os to sdcard, you just need to download the zip and flash it like a normal update.zip.
It won't replace your internal rom, because it is going to install in /sdcard, not in /system or /data. And it WON'T wipe anything.
Remember that flashing ubuntu or android rom is DIFFERENT from flashing those zips. To flash ubuntu or another android rom you need to use MultiROM menu under ADVANCED voice in recovery (again, see wiki or multirom thread if you need more information).
ROM PACKS.
In the next post I'll share links for rom zips. If you have other zips or if you have built other zips, please share them. They will be (hopefully) added to the list. If not, please pm me. I can't read all posts.
If you want to share a zip, please try it first. I don't know if I'll be able to test everything real-time, and I don't want anyone to see his sdcard erased or strange things like this. MultiROM has a percent of risk, but nobody has lost his data till now. So please share zips consciously.
ROM LIST (DOWNLOADS)
* [NEW] PLASMA ACTIVE 4.0 (20140121)
mirror: http://d-h.st/Khh
old version: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9ZvdqAbuJi2blQ0TDgweFFKTlU/edit
description: KDE for embedded devices. Very cool and interesting. 4.0 version is more stable, video codec is working as well. Little slow booting.
* BODHI LINUX 20130109
old version: INITIAL RELEASE
notes: old version passwd for root and armhf user is trustno1 (sorry for that, is my fault. In new release it is again bodhilinux)
description: Ubuntu with E17 (Enlightenment) with mobile GUI. Pretty stable and... veeery fast.
*ArchLinux 20130113-2
old version: -
description: ArchLinux. Simply. Not designed for basic users. Really powerfull, with already packed KDE, Gnome-shell, LXDE, XFCE, Enlightenment environments (and many others probably). Needs testing, and some love, as it's initial release.
*WebOS ALPHA
old version: http://www.mediafire.com/?3m58uuvysxiwypw
description: still in alpha stage, unstable. Interesting project. Needs love.
* [MANUAL INSTALL] Ubuntu Touch Tablet DEVELOPER PREVIEW
old version: -
description: developer preview, android-based, with the new Ubuntu Touch UI.
[NEW] Use MultiROM app to install the latest version in the easiest way
ROMS TO BE PACKED/MADE WORKING:
fedora4nexus7?
PAY ATTENTION: NEW MULTIROM CHANGED THE ROM ZIP STRUCTURE!
NEW STRUCTURE HERE.
I GUESS YOU CAN USE OLD ZIPS, BUT I CAN'T TRY AND IT'S BETTER TO USE NEW METHOD (REPACK NEEDED)
STEPS TO CREATE A NEW ROM ZIP (EASY-WAY):
* first, download the template (reworked by me)
* then, unzip the template, put the root.tar.gz and rom_info.txt inside rom folder (if you don't know what I'm talking about, read again the wiki - link above)
* edit rom name inside of scripts/extract.sh script (it's the only thing you have to edit, unless you want it to do something else, but be careful in that case)
* select the 3 folders (META-INF, rom, scripts) and zip them in a zip called <DISTRONAME>-MultiROM-Installer-<VERSION>.zip (I think it's a good standard, if you don't like simply name it another way, but I reckon that using a standard would be a very good thing)
*when the zip is finished, upload your zip somewhere (I use google drive now, but I hope I'll have my storage sometime in the future) and share the link here. I will add it to the list.
If I don't, pm me.

While you are connected you need to configure wifi. I use a script that simply uses iwconfig, wpa_supplicant.conf and dhcpcd to get a wifi connection.
The rest is up to you.
Enlightenment is preinstalled in build 20130113-2.
UBUNTU TOUCH.
infos: use MultiROM Manager app to install it.

Hi xela,
I understand the process except for creating the 'root.tar.gz' file from a compressed image (.img or .raw) file. Do you need to extract the image file to the /root folder and then recompress with a command similar to:
sudo tar --numeric-owner -zpcf root.tar.gz ./*
Nice Topic, i've tried your first Bodhi Zip and it seems very fast and stable to me. A few bugs, but nothing major.
I'm waiting for the new Version to finish uploading

I couldn't find out how to mount those IMG files. I thought they were ext4 fs but they aren't. I tried to use dd to flash them on a drive but failure again. So to extract rootfs I install them with standard procedure (Ubuntu) and the repack roofs to tar.gz. It could be useful to find out how to directly extract rootfs, because it's the same method used by Ubuntu. With the difference that Ubuntu uses zsync to permit fast upgrade...!

If you can get the files from the .img files, you really dont need the zip to install it, just creat a dir with the name for the OS, then inside create a dir called root, then inside extract the .img
For the rom_info.txt file, just make the changes needed and put them on the same dir that ../root is and restart and you should be able to boot form it.

I think zip solution is the best and most "standard". When I make a zip I know it will work, because it's the final, multiROM surely compatible, version. And I can test it immediately, fix it, reflash, and try without messing the world up. I think update zips are the most user-friendly way too. But that's only MHO.

Troubleshooting/FAQ:
When asking for help, please provide as much of the following info as possible so I can help as easily as possible. I am a busy person and would prefer not to ask all of these questions every time someone has a problem. Thank you for understanding.
What Kitchen version?
What environment are you running the kitchen in (OS, 32/64-bit, cygwin, Bash on Windows, etc.)?
What device are you working on (make/model)?
What was the source you started from (system.img, system.ext4.tar, rom.zip, etc.)
What Android version?
What perm method (set_perm, set_metadata, sparse_dat, raw_img)?
What did you do after extracting and before building?
Were there errors on the screen if you scroll up in the terminal?
Send a recovery.log after flashing if you have problems flashing the ROM.
Send a link that does not require registration to the files you started with (nandroid, system.img, boot.img, etc)
Use the support option in the Misc Tools menu and attach the support.zip to your post.
Ubuntu4Kitchen
An Ubuntu 16.04 distro with all the things you need to get the kitchen working easily.
Visit the dedicated thread here
Language Files (translations)
English - Default/Included in the kitchen
Download additional language files here
Once the language zip has been downloaded, extract to /kitchen/tools/language and restart the kitchen.
Does this kitchen support Windows CYGWIN?
CYGWIN is not supported and will not work. Try the donate kitchen for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
WSL (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)
WSL is not supported in the free kitchen and will not work. Try the donate kitchen for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
Which perm type should I choose?
Here is a very brief summary of set_perm, set_metadata, sparse_dat, and raw_img.
set_perm : The oldest of the 4. Sets file/directory permissions when flashing a rom. Not recommended for KitKat and above.
set_metadata: Also sets file/directory permissions when flashing a rom, but also adds file contexts. It was introduced with selinux in KitKat. Recommended for KitKat and above.
sparse_dat: The newest of the 4, and only works on Lollipop +. The permissions, symlinks, and file contexts are all added inside a sparse image. A sparse image is an image with a more efficient space usage. Only for Lollipop and above. The free kitchen uses AOSP permissions/capabilities when building system.img. If your device requires different permissions, this method will not work for you in the free kitchen.
raw_img: This is literally raw images that are flashed to your device. The permissions, symlinks, and file contexts are all added inside the raw image. Works for all Android versions. The free kitchen uses AOSP permissions/capabilities when building system.img. If your device requires different permissions, this method will not work for you in the free kitchen.
Flashing error:
This package is for "xxxxx" devices; this is a "yyyyy"
The problem is the asserts and it is easy to fix. In the kitchen menu, go to ROM Tools > Asserts > Add/Remove device asserts. At the bottom it will say "xxxxx". Edit the line to say "xxxxx,yyyyy" and press enter. Build your rom again and flash.
Why is my ROM zip so small?
blkdiscard failed: Invalid argument
These are generally due to the partition size detection method. You need the correct partition size for ALL partitions you are creating sparse dat and raw_img images for. The kitchen will ask for each one that is included in your rom when you choose to build the full rom zip. If none of the provided auto-detect methods work, you will need to find the partition size on your own and enter it manually in the kitchen.
Root problems?
You can replace the SuperSU.zip and Magisk.zip in the kitchen with any flashable SuperSU/Magisk version you want. It is located in kitchen/tools/root/root_zips. Delete the one that is there (if it exists) and add yours. Then, unroot, re-root and your replacement will be used.
Auto check for updates when kitchen starts
To enable the auto update check, go to "Check for updates" in the main menu. After it checks, you will be asked if you want to enable it.
I added root and busybox but there is no su or busybox in my project. Why?
The kitchen does not add Busybox or SuperSU/Magisk files to the project. Instead it adds flashable zips inside the rom.zip. There are many variables to deal with (Android version, device architecture, manufacturer, system/systemless, etc.). Flashing the zips with the rom accounts for all of these variables and there is no reason to re-invent the wheel.
Debloat and custom debloat
There are 2 options in the debloat menu (besides knox which is self explanatory):
1) Debloat ROM
This option removes all files included in the kitchens standard bloat list file - /kitchen/tools/root/bloat
2) Custom Debloat
This option removes all files included in the bloat_custom file - /kitchen/tools/root/bloat_custom OR kitchen/superr_project/00_project_files/bloat_custom
This file is empty by default and is there for you to add whatever you want to remove. You can either add everything you want to remove and use only option 2, or you can add new files here and use option 1 and 2.
I suggest you take a look at /kitchen/tools/root/bloat to see the format of the listed bloat files. Use the same format for the bloat_custom file.
When you use either option, the files are not deleted. Instead they are moved to the 00_project_files directory in case you want to restore them later.
Deodexing
Deodexing Samsung roms may or may not work. If your rom does not boot after deodexing, try it without. If it works and you must deodex your rom, try a different tool. I hear svadev deodex tool works well for Samsung roms.
boot.img errors
If the kitchen gives you errors about unpacking boot.img, there is a good chance I will not be able to help. I suggest you figure out how to unpack it using Linux commands/binaries and let me know how you did it. You may also find a tutorial about how to unpack your boot.img. If so, please send a link. It does not help me to know another tool works. I need the commands/binaries used in order to update the kitchen.
Feel free to upload your boot.img AND the build.prop from the same rom so I can check to see if I can fix it. I will ignore you if you don't upload both mentioned files
I do not answer support questions through PM. There are no exceptions. Post in the thread if you want help so others can give suggestions and learn from your solution
I will not answer questions if it is clear that you have not read the OP, the info posts after the OP, and searched the thread for answers. I do not have time to answer the same questions over and over. Many questions are already answered in this thread and if you want help, I expect you to try and solve it on your own before posting. If your question has not been answered in the thread, I am happy to assist in any way possible.
If I ask you to upload files, they need to be uploaded on a server that does not require registration for full speed downloads, or registration for downloads at all. Drive, Dropbox, AFH, and Mega are examples of acceptable servers. There are many other good ones, but I hope you get the point.
Thanks for understanding

This kitchen already uses Android Image Kitchen by osm0sis, which includes his mkbootimg. Maybe it will already work for MTK. Let me know if you encounter problems.

WSL2 Help and information (Donate Version)
With the release of v3.2.1.0, there are many improvements to the Linux version of the kitchen compared to the native Windows version. WSL2 on Windows 10 is the perfect way to run the Linux kitchen on Windows. Installation takes a few more steps...
forum.xda-developers.com
Linux/Mac (Terminal):
Download the kitchen.zip from the download page sent through PM. Extract to a new directory.
Enter the following command where "/location/of/kitchen" is the directory where the kitchen lives:
Code:
/location/of/kitchen/superr
Windows:
NOTE: The native Windows version has reached end of life. Consider running the Linux kitchen in WSL2 using the guide above.
Download the kitchen.zip from the download page sent through PM. Extract to a new directory.
Make sure Java listed above is installed and in your system environment PATH (Check Google for the many guides on this if you need help)
Double click superr.exe in newly extracted kitchen directory.
NOTE: After you start the kitchen, it will ask you for your Kitchen username and password. Make sure you enter it correctly or it will not work. Thanks for the donation, enjoy
Known Issues/Limitations:
Does not unpack/repack f2fs file systems.
Linux:
None
WSL2:
None
WSL1:
Crashes with xattr not defined error when unpacking some img files due to a bug in the Python ext4 module.
Mac:
Does not use e2fsdroid for building img files as I am not able to compile it for Mac so far.
Windows:
No longer being updated. v3.2.1.3 is the last version. The Linux kitchen runs perfectly in WSL.
Does not use e2fsdroid for building img files as I am not able to compile it for Windows.
Crashes with xattr not defined error when unpacking some img files due to a bug in the Python ext4 module.
If you run Windows as administrator and have issues with the Boot Menu, please see this post.
If superr.exe gets removed by your antivirus program, whitelist the kitchen directory in your antivirus program.
If the kitchen can't find an internet connection, try whitelisting sr-code.com in your antivirus browsing security. If it still does not find a connection, try using a VPN.
The colors are not perfect due to Windows not supporting ASCII escape codes by default. If you want it to look more like Linux, you can run the Linux version in WSL (formerly known as "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows").

Thanks for the info. This project is still Beta as marked in the OP. Once we figure out how to solve all the small issues I will update the documentation and the kitchen to try and help everything along as much as possible.
Running as admin in windows brings up another point I forgot about. Apparently Windows can only create symlinks as admin, so if you need to create a system.img you will need to run as admin.

You could try creating a batch script that self escalates, and calls "python superr" as Admin. I'm not great with Python by any means. I have a bit more experience with batch.

Is there no log file anywhere for errors? Tried to extract a 7.1.2 ROM, and it says there was a problem, but no info or anything.
@SuperR. Do you provide a Free version soon? Does we have to pay another $10 if we using version 2?

I believe he wants to hold off on a "free" release until more issues have been resolved. That leave those that paid for it with access (limited number of people) to help test it. Also sounds like it leaves those with a slightly more vested interest in it to help with input, as they paid for it, and therefore use it more than those that typically just have the free version.
At least in my case, the $10 I put up is all I needed. No additional money is (currently) required.

I don't know anything about batch scripts. If you want to write it to help out, I am sure some people would find it useful. I don't even know how to start cmd.exe as admin without right clicking lol

There is currently very limited logging. It is something that I would like to improve on for sure. Please send firmware as requested in the OP and I will have a look.
edit: I just downloaded and extracted the latest bullhead 7.1.2 release on Windows and Linux with no issues.

There is already a free version of the kitchen https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...chen-superr-s-kitchen-v1-1-50-v2-1-6-t3597434
There is no plan for a free Python version. The free version is Bash and the donate version is Python. Eventually, support for the Bash donate version will end. All donors have already been added to the Python repo. There is no need to donate again for access unless you want to
I'm going to donate again (it'll be later this weekend)...because WOW! thank you for the rewrite in Python! I might love you geeky bro man love.
@SuperR. Ok cool, but no access here on 3.0

Do it again. It will eventually work.
Edit: Unless you haven't donated.

Just git clone again. It worked for me after a couple of attempts. Gitlab is unpredictable sometimes.

HI all, I want to share a deodex system folder from my Pace and how to do that
DOWNLLOAD DEODEX SYSTEM FOLDER <- Open any apk in it with "jadx-gui-0.8.0"
How to extrack source from apk (I used win10):
1: Push wanted folder/file from watch (i extract all system folder with AS)
2: Download JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer V 2.5 (WARNING I try with other deodex program and not work correctly!!"https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/script-app-joeldroid-
lollipop-batch-t2980857"
3: Go into folder to work and rename all the "mips" folder to "arm" (I use "Flexible Renamer" to rename all folder in one click)
4: Open JoelDroid Lollipop Batch Deodexer V 2.5 click "browser" and select the folder to work, than click "start process" and wait a log as a lot how lot apk need to be process
PS final work are into the oringin folder and replace the compiled version
5: Use "jadx-gui-0.8.0" to open an apk and you can save or directly explore with it
This is the deodexer I use on Win10 which supports MIPS and no need to rename any file or folder: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71959392&postcount=813
