Developer area for Nexus 7

Our Source Code

Our PPA contains the new or modified packages used for the 12.10 Ubuntu Nexus7 image.

The kernel code is a very slightly modified copy of the original Android kernel that the Nexus7 runs.

The Original Google repository can be found at https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/. We sync up with new branches corresponding to new firmware updates there as Google makes them available.

Ubuntu repository: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=hwe/ubuntu-nexus7.git;a=summary

Things to get involved with

If you have upload rights and know the packages well, you can help us getting the patches from our PPA into 12.10.
You can help us triage, upstream and fix bugs. The list of bugs for the Nexus 7 can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7
Measuring Power Consumption. Everybody wants devices to run for ages without having to recharge. Help out here!
Measuring Memory Usage. It's important we get low memory foot-print. By measuring and finding issues, you can help us out a lot.
Building the kernel
Patched packages. These patches will make it to Ubuntu 12.10 soon.
