stock rom lo...best battery life, less problem and bugless.

once start use custom rom, like drugs, keep check for updates.
but if you interested, try official aokp, so many neat new features

yes lo, just bring in. they help me change my speaker for free.
working fine till now.

lowyat plaza, there got a asus service center

its soft, so many people tend to open max volume and hear long long.
ya its a common issue.

just keep the volume below 80% and should be fine.
during my first few weeks with it i on max volume and watch alot youtube until it spoil.

its the exact same speaker.
no better no worst, exactly same speaker.

but i never on full volume ever again. abit sked

that reply was for someone comparing nexus7 and ipad mini.
saying nexus 7 have flash out of the box is not true, it needs some workaround.
similar to ipad mini, need install compatible browser like puffin browser or skyfire browser.
flash works on both device, but both also nowhere near as smooth as a real laptop.

the stock aosp browser from gnex, is not included in nexus7. default browser in n7 is chrome.
which wont support flash no matter what.

Last time use wugfresh one I also have issues with the driver.
Mskip one easier n straightforward.

Fear not, Service Center at lowyat will replace speaker for you free of charge.

Just yesterday got people say the speaker max volume see anime 9 hours a day also won't spoil.

The speaker issue is very real. Better dun use max volume to reduce risk of blown speaker.

crackling noise only apparent at max volume. but it will get worst, eventually even at low volume also will crack.
mine case took 3 days. may vary depends on the workload of the technician there.

rooting is not necessary.
but since you are in this forum and looking at this thread, you must be interested in this kind of thing.

having root access doesnt make your device extra powerful or anything.
but can enjoy some very cool things.

~titanium backup: save all your apps and data. example i play temple run on my phone reach 1million high scrore and bought all power ups. then i want to play on nexus 7. oh crap i have to start from 0 with no power ups. no problem, titanium backup it on my phone, transfer to my tablet, restpre. TADA!, i have my highscore and powerups.

~add block: i dont think a single person here love to see adds. especially adds that are completely useless. click here to see sexy girls, seriously?

~rom toolbox: all in on root app, customize battery icon, boot animation, disable useless startup program,

~setCPU: i use this to underclock, less heat, and more battery, strange doesnt work on stock nexus7, but works on my phone.

~cwm backup: ultimate backup. tablet stolen/spoil/damage? no sweat, but a new tablet, and restore.

~cerberus anti theft: works even better with root access, will survive a full system wipe.


sure all this is not necessary, but good to have.

I'm guessing u r referring to me.
Mine took 3 days.
I went there personally to ask for the status. The girl told me ready. If I never called or went there to ask I wouldn't got it back so fast.

i understand what you mean, human eye is more sensitive to color vibrancy compared to resolution.

nexus7 resolution quite ok already, very satisfactory, but the colors is very pale.
really need to spice it up, if only it uses amoled. or the same type of LCD like the new ipad that have very nice vibrant colors.

what i mean is, having a 1280x800 resolution with very vibrant colors is much better than
super high resolution with pale colors like what the nexus7 have now.

stock rom.

benefit:
~unmodified project butter, super smooth
~no need to check xda for the custom rom you using got update or not
~no need do cwm backup, save lots of time and storage space since not changing roms or updating new version of rom
~zero bugs, no need google for bugs or check for bugs in xda thread when weird issue happen.
~peace of mind, no need deal with kernel
~excellent battery life, no need to keep chaning kernel, check which one lag, or bad battery life.

been using stock 4.2 since october i think, never once have weird issue, or visited xda for nexus 7.
purely enjoying the tablet as it is.

cant believe i see this kind of comment. looks so retarded.

didnt you read the features of the rom? its always written in the first post of the xda thread
if it doesnt have the feature you want then why waste time download flash it?

come to think of it, i never turn off my nexus7 even once since it was bought sometime in august last year.
just charge it every night only. the battery enough to last a whole day.

har? i leave my tablet wifi on sync on, let it standby, whole day just drop 1-3% only.
you have something running in the background issit?

never experience any issues, nor feel any performance improve.
same same only, got some minor animation for recent apps list, and the quick settings menu.

fwhoam need new thread soon
