09:09 < juiceme> hi. I've got a newbie question concerning plasma active on nexus 7
09:11 < juiceme> I tried it yesterday, installed plasma-active-armv7hl-google-nexus7-devel-2013-07-06.tar.gz which I think is the latest release, dated 07-Jul-2013 01:17
09:13 < juiceme> How is the stability supposed to be on that, as I my rig booted a couple of times in the about an hour I played around with it.

Lucky I remembered that there was some talk about it her too...

So, what is the best option here, is there a more stable PA image available, or is it possible to install Nemo on it?
You can get the latest plasma active images from files.kde.org:
http://files.kde.org/plasma/active/4.0/images/nexus7/

Just in case, for installation instructions I wrote a blog post about that some time ago:

I actually don't know if someone else is working on keeping the PA Nexus7 images up-to-date.
Unfortunately, I only have very limited time these days and thus, sadly, cannot put much, if any, effort into this.

Iirc, thp succeeded in getting Nemomobile running on the Nexus7.
I don't know the current state of this but afaik his approach was using libhybris and builds on top of CyanogenMod instead of using the pretty old nvidia drivers etc. as the PA images still do.
Perspectively, I think, using libhybris should be the better way.
But this is just a very wild guess; as said, I don't know anything about the current state of this.
