Just got my Nexus 16GB.

What should I install now? still getting used to how to customize homescreen and animated wallpaper etc.
*
To customize homescreen try app like Apex and Nova launcher. Animated wallpaper is called Live wallpapers or LWP. Try searching for it in google play. And you don't need to be rooted to use those.

Google "Nexus 7 tool kit" 1st hit. That's all you need to root.
Browse around ROMs in XDA and read up. So far I've never encountered any malware that's included in customs. Worst case if there is, just flash in new ROM.

PS: I gotten a matte SP. Very nice to slide. Downside is the visibility but I can sleep on it np

What do you mean by updates? OTA?
And what do you mean by released of all nexuses? Is that something to do with religion and world end prophecy?

Yes,ota update,and nexus 4nexus 7,and nexus 10

And why wouldn't you get updates for those devices? If a manufacturer releases an update, you'll get updated. Its a tautology. Kinda confused what you're asking

Unless you're asking if you get updates if your devices it rooted. Then it depends on the following
stock rom - update as normal via software update.
custom rom - flash in a new ROM as per chef's instructions. Some customs have their own hub you can update automatically rather than the conventional means

Nice link. Which type of SP are you using? I'm on matte but itchy hands want to apply a new SP. Wasnt happy ever since I saw a speck of dust caught in it.

What kind of accessories are you looking at?
I gotten my casing and SP from this guy.

I've chosen the trifold candy series. Smart sleep/wake works very nicely.

Anyone on ParanoidAndroid, and uses the stock Android browser as their default browser? Does opening TheVerge.com causes the browser to crash? As in, the prompt "The page has become unesponsive. Do you want to close it?" appears, every single time. And it's only The Verge. User agent: Android.

Haven't tried other ROMs, so it might be a fluke with PA.
*
Tried PA for a couple days. While UI is pretty interesting, but its not very stable. Gotten a couple FCs before I decided to flash something else. Have you tried using other browsers?

Yes. Chrome, in particular is horrible. Severe lag compared to stock AOSP browser. The rest of the pack has navigational deficiencies compared to stock.

(When I mean navigational deficiencies, I mean I'm in love with the stock browser's Quick Controls panel. Nothing ever comes close to its level of convenience).

EDIT: Yep, just tried CM10. Same problem. Whaaa???
*
I'll check it out later on my n7. Verge you say?

update: tested. It worked fine. Using Glazed rom with Trin7 kernel. Perhaps its something to do with TrueTablet UI?

QUOTE(n8210 @ Nov 6 2012, 06:38 PM)
There is no file explorer in N7. Which are you all using? Pls recommend. TQ
*
ES File Explorer. The only one I use. It includes network folders and root options

Yes, Google is the mother of android. My bad.
Anyway, a more serious problem happened today. I push power and volume up button at the same time, and now my N7 could not boot. Nothing happens, blank black screen. What should I do?
*
You held the power + volume up while the N7 is at shutdown or powered up? There's one combination that performs a hard reset. Try charging it for a couple hours and power it up. Hold power button for 10sec and see if there's any reaction

I shutdown N7. After that press power & volume up


Added on November 7, 2012, 1:19 pmFinally, my N7 is alive again. Don't know why or how. Anyway, I rooted following jayceooi's video, using Nexus Toolkit, selected option 8: one click option
I hv superuser but I'm a bit confused. I don't see the CWM icon. That means I only have CWM recovery?

And to get into CWM recovery I should press power & volume up and down, all 3 buttons together?
*
CWM is the recovery. To enter recovery mode shutdown completely, then hold power + volume down. Select recovery from the bootloader menu with volume button and power to select

One thing to note with recovery mode.
You'll NEED to have the cable plugged in while selecting from bootloader into recovery mode. Failure to do so will result freezing at Google logo. If not mistaken its the same for both TWRP and CWM. If anyone using TWRP, please confirm

V4.1.2 is suppose to fix the 2 button access to bootloader. Mine already fixed. I think only V4.1.1 has this
issue.

Awesome. I'll try it later. It became a habit to enter recovery with PC connection lol

Hi All, plan to get one for my wife, but I want to know since 4.1 jelly bean doesn't support flash, can I still play flash game on N7?

With HTML5, I dont think there will be a such a big fuss. Adobe is betting Flash's future on Windows but will probably die there. Perhaps if you could direct us to the games, we could test them out

The only difference is the a bigger storage space and optional. HSPDA+ capability. Since Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 will be shipping with 4.2, it's only logical that later Nexus 7 will also be shipped with 4.2. However since the hardware is basically the same, when 4.2 arrives for Nexus 7 existing ones will also be updated.

So for those who already owned a Nexus 7, there's no need to feel downplayed. It's still the same awesome hardware. I don't see why there's a need to feel egoistic about it.

Tried it on 3 different browsers but only stock managed to run Shockwave. However while testing, some games displayed some critical graphical glitch.
