done flashing PARANOIDANDROID [2.15]... but need to manually download all the google apps... playstore also need to manually dl... sigh

Flash the gapps package immediately after the rom zip
Do read the instructions
It us clearly stated n link provided
Downloading these separately is incorrect solution as you might miss some unobvious files

Anyone know if it will revert to unrooted state if we do factory reset?

Only way is to flash official stock image/rom

Yes. It will not visible. Same as mine. What i did was installed an app called "Link2SD". By using this tool, i can locate the invisible app. It is just frozen. So select action & Unfreeze. The app icon will appear back even you disconnect from VPN. This always happen if you did not connect to VPN and Google Account is sync to Google.

Never happen to me
Maybe I am on custom rom all these while

I have received 3 PM asking me to confirm that with the USB OTG cable the N7 can detect a USB harddrive - anyway here is the pic to proof it. This is a Samsung 1 TB drive
And unlike some users say here, it works well on custom rom too not necessary only on stock rom. Currently mine is on TeamEOS3 ( build 23 sep)
Several of us here has reported it can easily detect up to 1TB hard drives WITHOUT any additional power source to the harddrive
If any of you finds it cannot work, it is either your OTG cable issue or tablet USB port issue

hi,

new N7 user here...gt it from the shop in ss15...directd store...

mine is batch C90 as well but during purchase, i inspected N7 for any screen lifting issue but found none...

does it happen to the whole batch or just some N7 within the batch?

or did i miss something during inspection? icon_question.gif

btw those ppl who bought from the shop in ss15 or directd store did you ppl ask about the warranty? when i asked the sales person told me no need to fill the warranty book just bring N7 to ASUS if any prob...there is only a sticker there...
*
Mine is C7O batch - yet to find any hardware issues/problems so reported to date
I got it directly from Google USA
I never bother about warranty stuffs - did not even bother to register my unit at Asus website. The purchased receipt from Google is good enough.
But I believe shouldn't be any issue as some users here who bought directly from USA got parts replaced FOC at Asus Msia centers

I had no luck with WD 1TB ext HDD+samsung OTG cable+CNA 3.6.0  hmm.gif  dun know why

no problem with 48GB pendrive

It will work even on CNA 3.6 rom
Most probably is your OTG cable - try change to another type - I am using those short type without any extended cable ( you can see from the pic)

Thank you...

another thing, is it worth to go through the process of getting the free USD25? or should i just forget about it?

what are the perks of getting the USD25?
*
You can buy apps, books, rent/buy movies up to US$25 FREE
If that is not enough to convince you - than no need . US$25 is not much actually but if you convert can buy up up to 10 to 15 apps .
As for me i used it mainly to buy ebooks each value from US 0.99 to US3.99 each. I rented one movie for US3.99

This is another very useful accessory for the tablet. I used it together with my portable charger ( Yoobao 4800 mAh n 11200 mAh) to charge my Android tablets, smartphones and ipad too while on the move. It is especially more useful for tablets that demand a higher power input from the portable battery - it helps in faster charging. I have been using it past 1 year - i can assure you is very safe. Some of my friends who bought the Yoobao charger told me they cannot charge their Samsung tabs , after using this , the tab can be charge easily. It cost only US$6 from EBay
Just plug this in to the end of the USB cable port and plug it into the external battery charger port

Sorry.. another noon question, how to do backup?

CWM is clockworkmod?.
*
Boot to recovery mode and select backup

I dont know whether you can backup to external SD card or thumb drives on Clockworkmod recovery. If cannot the backup will be on folder clockworkmod/backup inside the internal SDcard

I am on TWRP 2.2.2 and this recovery allows me to backup to my external thumb drives ( ver 2.2.1 cannot have this option ) , saving me at least 1.8 GB space per rom backup. I have 3 backups on my thumb drives - stock, TeamEOS, CNA roms

Guys, are you comfortable with nexus 7 phone or tablet UI?
As a galaxy nexus user, I find nexus 7 has very similar interface compared to my phone. Sometimes I think nexus 7 is more like 7inch version of galaxy nexus.

I've been reading the first page about the tablet UI, the patch method and the DPI method seems to be a better choice in my case. ( going to try stock ROM for several weeks before going custom )

Tried using apex launcher, result are not that impressive. The notification bar stays on top and unlike galaxy tab series where it combines to bottom menu bar. I know custom ROMs have function embedded so is there other better way that I'm not aware ?
*
Why dont you try SGT7 rom or Paranoidandroid - this one will give you tablet UI without need to use the UI patches
These 2 roms available in the XDA Original Android development thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1677

I prefer my N7 as its default - have never like the tablet UI

if I use the $25 credit to buy using vpn and local play store will there be any billing problem?

You can use VPN connection to buy stuffs that are reserved only for US based
Just use the US$25 credit to pay for it
Your local credit card cannot be used

difference between US and MY... the adaptor. MY sets will come with 3 pin power adaptor.

US set that i got... 2 pin adaptor.

not sure what you mean by location settings... if you mean the usd25 google play credit, just follow the steps mentioned in earlier posts. it should work regardless of where the unit is from, as long as you do it before the deadline -- fyi, that offer expires sometime end of this month.

yes, US set is cheaper because the people bringing it in is not that greedy. biggrin.gif

MY set is brought in by Asus Malaysia and RRP is rm999.


Added on September 27, 2012, 10:14 amthe set i bought was a gift... so no chance to try this out...

but i'm wondering... how is the usd25 play store credit determined? unit id? google account?

the thing is...
#1. can someone in US buy 1 unit, register and get usd25, return the unit (7 days money guarantee or maybe RMA), then get another unit, sign up and get another usd25?

#2. or does it work by google account -- meaning 1 account entitled to only 1 time usd25 regardless of how many N7 you own

#3. does it also mean that 1 N7 can be used to get many rounds of usd25 if you factory wipe and add a different google account?

anyone flashing and modding...? can try the above if you have more than 1 google account? biggrin.gif
*
I think Google is not that dumb to allow such unethical, dishonest opportunistic methods
It is restricted to only one gmail account
One user have tried restting gain and attempted to get another round of US$25 - obviously he fail

hi, when i trying to update my google wallet account's home country to US(follow 1st page,even the address), im getting Updating Settings failed. Please try again later.

follow the link of shah method http://www.shahz.net/android/25-dollars-go...outside-us.html
do we still need to change home address to US???
*
You must set your country to be USA to have the US$25 credit. You just need to do it once only when you set up your credit card
If still have problem, suggest you go to your google wallet account and delete existing credit card and do it all over again. Shahz guide is straightforward and simple enough to follow

Or you can follow user yolk guide : http://www.yogaretnam.com/gadgets/how-to-g...us-for-nexus-7/

Dont have Malaysia offline save mode. So cannot use. I've just tried download offline for Singapore map and tried there. But the problem is , you must save each road that u want to go. But it came with one limitation. It wont work without internet even for GPS. After connect with internet (with wireless), then only GPS work and show in the map.
