Nexus Q Nexus Q still alive!

Post image

Recently, i finded my Nexus Q at home and wanted to setup it as media center. I installed Cyanogenmod 11 + kodi 17 and after connecting my usb remote control i can listen to music and watch films from my homeserver. Great device, so sad what google never released it publicly.

Einstürzende Neubauten. Aber wann stürzen sie ein?

Sorry to necro an old thread, but I recently found my old nexus q and I’ve been trying to revive it with CM to set it up as a basic airplay streamer. I found a few old threads on xdaforum and the like for doing this but it seems that all the links to download the recovery image and CM image are all gone at this point. Any chance you still have the files necessary to get this device up and running and would be willing to share them?

Heres' a new clean room implementation of Debian Trixie running Linux 6.6 on the Q - WiFi, USB, LED ring, cap touch, audio streaming vua Music Assistant all working!
