4.1.2?

[dunjamon]

Anyone updated to 4.1.2 yet? I've been checking today but not seeing anything.

 

[zetroc]

Nada so far.

 

[Crafty]

Me either. You can manually flash if you are desperate - the link below has a guide.

This update is a bugfix release as far as anyone knows, but it will add landscape orientation for homescreens..

Is this supposed to come as a system update?

Yes. Nothing here yet.

Flash it manually, whether you are rooted or not

How To: Manually Update Your Nexus 7 To Android 4.1.2 (JZO54K) With Stock Or Custom Recovery

I flashed it manually with no issues here. It does indeed add rotation to the launcher among the other bug fixes.

 

[irishbogman]

Flashed effortless with Rom Manager, just download the file direct from Google, a breeze to install

 

[Rxpert83]

I had issues installing it manually because of my system apps I had removed.

Deleting googles device checks from the updater script allowed me to install it without adding all of that back.

Does anyone know if this breaks root? OTA or manually

Yes, it does. Just reflash su and it should be fine

 

[LoBatt]

Yes, it does. Just reflash su and it should be fine

Does flashing manually break root?

 

[Rxpert83]

Yes it does. It's easy enough to get back though

 

[LoBatt]

Yes it does. It's easy enough to get back though

I rooted with Wug's. What do I do?

 

[Rxpert83]

I rooted with Wug's. What do I do?

The nexus root toolkit? Just open it back up and hit the root button. Doesnt get any easier

I read on XDA some people are apparently getting the update OTA, even though rooted and it supposedly has no affect on root.
What do you reckon?

Regardless, can you still get OTA updates if rooted?

 

[Rxpert83]

Yes you'll still be notified of the update. Having a custom recovery can mess with it though. Reports on android police were that it was screwng up root either way.

It honestly takes 1 minute to get it back so I don't really see the issue

 

[Deleted User]

I don't have an issue with re-rooting, just that I'm not in a huge rush for the update so can wait for OTA but don't want to wait forever thinking I will get it and it never comes

 

[dautley]

I manually updated but had to go into system settings to enable auto screen rotation.

So easy, even a caveman could do it. Thanks!

 

[Rxpert83]

If anyone has removed Google system apps this update will fail. I can upload the edited file I used to drop box if anyone needs it. Worked like a charm

Maybe we should get another thread going for rooted users

Edit: Lets keep root-related discussion from here on out in this thread:

Still nothing. I am not rooted. What's the big whoop about this update anyway?

Everyone gets excited and wants updates NOW! Even if they don't do much of anything

The big whoop about this one is that it allows home screen rotation/landscape mode which can only otherwise be enabled half a dozen other ways.
I will be interested to see if it's less laggy than other methods though.

 

[Rxpert83]

Theres more than home screen rotation baked into it. Android police usually does a good breakdown. Check them out

I have been checking today but nothing yet. I am not rooted and checking through the system update in settings menu.
