<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Matthias Raives, <br>Vojtěch Boček aka tasssadar is working on a multiboot rom for the nexus 7 2013 that will include various Linux flavors including plasma active, ubuntu touch, etc. <br>I think this will be your best bet atm.<div class="">

<p class="">Some days ago he received his brand new nexus 7 2013 and already working on it:</p><p class=""><a href="https://plus.google.com/106544733723469872647/posts/NgWEFh61Xi7">https://plus.google.com/106544733723469872647/posts/NgWEFh61Xi7</a><br>
</p><p class="">For further updates add him:</p><p class=""><a href="https://plus.google.com/106544733723469872647/posts">https://plus.google.com/106544733723469872647/posts</a><br></p></div>
Maybe someone from the core team can contact him for official collaboration? <br>It will help plasma active get more visibility & valuable enthusiastic testers-users making it easier to install and use in such a popular device. <br>

As already said, the 2013 model has different hardware so a new adaptation of mer will be needed to support this device.<br>

I dont recall anyone saying this, but thanks for confirming my suspicions.<br>
Do you guys have an estimate on when PA will be ready for the 2013 nexus 7?<br>

Answer: When someone made the adaptation. This is a community effort:<br>
Adaptations happen if someone makes them happen. If you have the skill<br>
to do it yourself or the money/power/charms to make someone else do it,<br>
it can happen pretty fast. If not and nobody else has, than it will<br>
never happen.<br>
