how bout 32gb?

I emailed them last saturday and they replied with the following.

QUOTE
The shipping will most probably be just the same as the 16 GB, depending whether if the packaging will become bigger. Or, if this 32GB nexus 7 has the function for inserting sim card which the 16GB doesn’t has, additional charges will occur on the SIRM permit that require by the custom.

What custom roms are you guys using? I schemed through XDA and found Glazed and Smooth Rom to be the more popular ones. any feedback?

glazed rom stop development for a long long time. it was the first custom rom. thats why the view count so high.
dont get cheated by it.

cm10 is a good rom,
paranoid not bad also.
or you can try aokp.

i am using stock tough. feel sien with these custom roms. always need to update, always got new version.
sometimes update got problem need cwm restore back.

stock is already fast and fluid, these custom rom dont add much in terms of speed.
they are similar at best. battery life like same only.

i miss toggles, but there is an app for it "notification toggles'' for stock rom users.

just wana use the tab. dont want to spend hours everyday flash rom to explore.
stock is good icon_rolleyes.gif


Added on October 30, 2012, 10:31 pm

then there really is no other way.

in the custom roms i mentioned,
just long press power button, got one extra option will appear, called "expand desktop"
then the nav bar and notification bar will dissapear smoothly. long press power and tap the same option to make them appear.

Thanks for sharing your past experiences smile.gif I read the XDA it seemed like there was a new update on the 28th oct? anyway, those bravia engines and what not engines dont have much notable improvements to the fluidity oh?

glazed rom is a really ciplak rom.
the version number write wrong, project butter not working at recent app list, icons oversize till cut off at notification tray
it was the one of the early custom rom, and also the most laggy one. stock rom pownes it.
but problem is many people in xda never try stock rom, once buy straight flash custom rom.
doh.gif thats why the view so insanely high.

the developer small kid only. 13 or 15 years old forgot.
it was built i think development end since end of july. and started again only recently.
now the new one maybe much more improvement. you try and see.

i also looking for a way to make the colors on n7 punchier and more vibrant.
tried so many screen related app in market, all not work one.

you try and see the bravia engine got make it better or not.
everytime after i look n7 after see amoled screen. the n7 loos like black and white only. so pale.

haha thanks for pointing out. XDA too messy la. I wish there was a sticky thread that compiles all the famous roms and some comments. All very developer-oriented, I cant understand half of the things posted there. I'll give CM10 nightly build a try. Nightly build is a ROM itself right? Reading a bit here and there. Not sure what I read got go in my brain or not. hahahah

Actually I find Glazed the best. There's an update recently to v4.2. I was on Glazed 4.1 with Motley+. My first ROM i flashed in and I really like the stability and simplicity. After that I tried others like
XenonHD - another minimalist
Kaos - lots of options at aroma, including kernel
Paranoid - tablet / phabet UI. You have to try it out to experience it.

Glazed 4.1 was already very smoooth and stable for me but I just want to check out other ROM. Now on Glazed v4.2 with trinity 7.

To compare N7's with amoled is pretty unfair. It's like saying you like apple and wished oranges taste like apple.
@orenzai : To choose a ROM you have to ask what are you looking for that your current ROM is lacking? Do you prioritize speed, stability, functionality, UI etc?
*
Haha Im just an adventurous guy. I like to try out new stuff that makes my gadgets feel different. I used to help my friend root and flash his HTC although I dont own an android myself. This would be my first android gadget! biggrin.gif

I will most probably be looking for fluidity as first priority. I dont play much games so performance is not my thing. Just fluid, stable and something that I can use without crashing on me. Btw, how do you guys backup your stuff? Titanium backup and restore seems to be a bit tedious if you constantly change roms.

included all the shipment fees? blah blah blah?

just realized newegg.com dint provide international shipping..  blush.gif  blush.gif

Yes, the price is inclusive of shipping. There is a Newegg office in Malaysia so they will handle your orders. Email vincent.hooi@newegg.com.my and he will quote you the pricing for the stuff you want. Just browse newegg.com and paste the link to him.

haha i guess project butter helped close the gap between stock and custom roms a lot. I'm prolly gonna root it and wait till 4.2 comes out.

referring to the 32gb wifi version nexus 7 from newegg... 249usd = rm771...+ shipping fees rm49... So i guess the 3g version will probably less than 1k... 771/249 x 299 = rm926 + shipping blah blah blah... <rm1k  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

3g version will have extra charges by SIRIM due to the cellular feature. smile.gif
