Perfect Android P setup for our device.

This is the perfect setup for android p, I use this as my daily driver and it has NO issues as of now. I have gone through almost a whole week of testing each rom before I chose this combination and this is super stable IMO.
Steps Followed:
1) Take backup of whole device (Including internal storage)
2) a) If you are on a Non-Treble rom:
- Install factorytovendor.zip (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754475515)
- Install treble TWRP recovery img (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528044154)
- Reboot to new recovery
- Proceed to step 3
b) If you are already using a Treble rom:
- Proceed to step 3
3) Completely wipe your phone (Including internal storage, I found that this gives the best result)
4) Reboot to recovery (you will get no OS installed screen, slide the icon and do not worry you will reboot to TWRP)
5) Connect your phone to your PC and transfer the following files to the internal storage:
a) CR droid treble ROM (I used this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528059385)

29) after 10 minutes, try registering your finger print:
a) if it passes, YAY!
b) if it goes back to previous screen, click on continue and try registering (no need to wait for 10 minutes)
c) if it goes to register screen and fails, YAY! you can set it up after the setup is complete (don't worry, it will work)
30) If you are restoring a backup from the cloud, the restore app will stop responding, dont worry. Click on app info and grant all permissions to the app, go back to previous screen and try again, It will work.

35) install Gcam if any app crashes while accessing camera
ENJOY!!!

I have flashed latest Havoc os as base ROM and everything except fingerprint is working.
I have not done Step 7. Is it required for casual usage, zero gaming scenario?
Do I need to start again from crdroid now for flashing GPU drivers?

I have heard from many people that the latest drivers improves performance significantly, for me I saw a huge boost in smoothness of UI. (I dont game so can't comment on game performance)

What's advantage of new GPU driver?
Can I flash them after setting up the ROM?

Can you please attach benchmark scores in this thread @girish17m

You can flash GPU drivers after setting up rom too. Shouldn't break anything (but backup everything just in case).. I have told my take on the advantages already

I haven't checked benchmarks(and don't plan to) because this is a port of a developer preview and I don't expect this to break any benchmarks till stable android p is released. You are welcome to try though!

Thank you man for such a detailed and informative post. It is really helpful.
I want to ask how is the battery backup you are getting ?? Is it good / comparable to other oreo ROMs?

Following the exact same steps I mentioned, I'm getting 5-6 hours of SOT (I'm on my 3rd charge cycle) with day to day usage. The phone feels as cool as bootleggers oreo and performs a little better than it (IMO). If you want all the advantages of the AI behind android P (the battery backup only gets better with time due to adaptive battery) and an amazing UI, then go for it.

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2013 Stock to Android 13
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2013 LTE/deb or Wi-Fi-only/flo to Android 13 / LineageOS 20 with Netflix/Disney+ working
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Google Nexus 7 (4G or wifi) with Android 6 to a fresher one with Android 13.
### I'll make a few notes using this style: PLEASE READ THEM.
Before going further, make sure you have the correct model.
Go to Settings > About tablet > Model number: Nexus 7
And on tablet's back cover: Nexus is written vertically (horizontally on 2012 model)
### See here if not clear: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/58273/how-to-distinguish-nexus-7-2012-and-nexus-7-2013
If you have a SIM card slot on the side, it is a LTE model (codename deb), if not, Wi-Fi only alias flo.
Make sure you have latest official updates.
Connect tab to Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings > About tablet > System updates. Download if update is available.
### WARNING. I'm not sure banking apps will work. Office Lens and Adobe Scan don't work.
### See all my tutorials at https://github.com/djibe/Android-tutorials

I'm sorry I can't help on this.
I'll try to buy a new tab one day to test it again.

Hi,
thx for your post.
I'm glad it's useful.

Hi, been running my Nexus 7 rooted and on custom Android 6 based ROM and kernal for probably the last 6 years. Admittedly used very little, but still runs like a champ, if not a little sluggish. So I just decided to check back in to XDA and so happy to find this and try it out. However, GApps link not working for me. "File requested does not exist" Any possibility to fix link?
Thanks very much to OP!!
Edit: wow, pardon the banner, haven't been on XDA like I said for maybe six years, or more!
Edit 2: I believe I found the same GApps from another link djibe89 posted in LG G3 tutorial for the same process. Here:

Fantastic! Everything was going smoothly. But the GApps kept failing on install (Unsupported SDK version, and Install config not found). Thought it might be the version I downloaded, but I came back here and found your reply, so rebooted recovery after Lineage 19 install, installed GApps package, wiped Dalvik/Cache, installed Magisk, wiped dalvik/cache, and rebooted system. Joy! Now appears to be up and running. Seems as though reboot>recovery after ROM flash made the difference. Haven't rooted yet, but I am having a lot of fun. Huge gratitude to you for this tutorial and development work, as well as quick reply. Thank you!
Edit: Ahh, I'm pretty rusty. Realized now Lineage 19 is based off of Android 12, instead of 11. So I installed GApps for 11, not 12. Maybe something to do with it...?

Thanks, worked great for me running unofficial Lineage 19/Android 12! I wasn't able to install official Lineage 18.1. TWRP rejected install because it did not recognize my device as flox. I thought that the repartition package renamed it to this, but anyway that is what I ran into.

This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Google Nexus 7 (4G or wifi) with Android 6 to a powerful one with Android 11 R.

### See here if not clear: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/58273/how-to-distinguish-nexus-7-2012-and-nexus-7-2013
If you have a SIM card slot on the side, it is a LTE model (codename deb), if not, Wi-Fi only alias flo.
Make sure you have latest official updates.
Connect tab to Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings > About tablet > System updates. Download if update is available.
### WARNING. I'm not sure banking apps will work.

Hi, there doesn't seem to be anything named Magisk Root within the download zip. Is it missing or am I missing something?

Thanks. What do you do with Magisk after copying it to the external memory as it isn't mentioned in any other steps?
I have managed to follow all other steps and have it running with android 8.1 however Disney+ and Netflix do not work as I believe they see the tablet as rooted and don't like it. I have tried a few Disney+ install work arounds but still doesn't work. Do you have any ideas? Cheers

Hi,
Thanks Djibe89 and TheDoctor46.
I am wondering if files put on the sdcard from the first install could avoid right install of BiTGApp 8.1 ?
it's quite weird, i have no sound.
i could install a browser from playstore.
well, i'll try both OpenGapps and deltadroid.
