I recently wanted to install CyanogenMod(CM) 10.1 on my 1st Gen Wifi Nexus 7 and decided to roll all the steps into a simple to use script. This script has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.04 on a 1st Gen Nexus 7 running stock Android 4.2.2. It will factory reset your device so make sure you back up anything you want to keep(you will be prompted before the factory reset). As a bonus installing CM10.1 also roots your Nexus 7 too.
The script provides step by step prompts to do the following:
To run the script simply open a terminal and run the following command(in a directory you have write access to):
wget http://ubuntuone.com/5422gu14eWnrRkiu7uNfOx -O nexus7_cm_install.sh && chmod +x nexus7_cm_install.sh && ./nexus7_cm_install.sh
Now just follow the prompts to complete the install.
NOTE: I found my Nexus 7 was running really laggy after a few months and it turned out that the problem was a bug in Android 4.2.2. Running an app called LagFix made heaps of difference and cleared up all my lag issues, so if you're experiencing a similar problem give it a try.
The script provides step by step prompts to do the following:
- Install ADB if not present
- Install Fastboot
- Unlock bootloader
- Install ClockworkMod Recovery
- Backup your existing ROM
- Install CM10.1
- Install Google apps
