Good reason.
Thought you are not happy with it. Best alternative to it is tab 7.7 or even ipad mini

hi benny, what is your opinion between the 2 screen? 7c and ipad mini? and also portability biggrin.gif

Mini is lighter n slimmer definitely more portable
Mini display outshine n7 but text look better on N7
I still maintain my opinion N7 has the worst display in all the androids I have used
I dump my mini solely because of its weaker wifi n poorer thether with my Note2 making a poorer n less enjoyable experience on internet stuffs
*
great....i think not an issue with wifi since im getting one with celular
its kinda hard choosing tablet coming from android b/g....
nexus 7 is great but really ipad offers better experience.... rclxub.gif

yes, i am using the Nillkin leather case from him.  It has smart cover function, cutting down the usage of power button by a lot.  I do not use any screen lock - so just open the cover and start using.  thumbup.gif  Finish using - close the cover and put it away.   biggrin.gif

are you using 7c? if yes does it fit? thumbup.gif

I have tested several roms ( all 4.2 and above ) and these are my opinion:

Mix AOSP/CM
paranoidandroid 2.99 b8 : BEST
Sparsko Linaro

AOSP
TeamEOS 4 : Highly recommended
SlimBean Alpha 1 : Poor
Smoothrom 4.2 : Worst
Modaco JR12 : Best
cleanrom 3  :  Recommended
Xenon HD RC3 : Highly recommended

AOKP
Official AOKP dec14 : MY FAVORITE

CM 10
Official CM 10.1 : Recommended
Euroskank 10.1 : best
Unofficial CM10 nightlies

These roms performance wise I dont see any major significant difference. Its difference is in the features and is up to you to judge whether you need those features. Battery wise also I do not find any significant differences
All are on its original kernels

It is hidden file . use root explorer and locate it in  /data/media/0/

QUOTE : With Android 4.2, Google introduced multiple users as a new feature. In order to accommodate multiple users, Google is now giving each user a their own folder for storage. If you upgraded to 4.2 from 4.1, then the 4.2 ROM will look for a certain file in /data to determine whether it needs to migrate all of your files to the new multi-user data structure. By default, 4.2 migrates all of /data/media to /data/media/0.

A problem arose though with custom recoveries. A custom recovery retains the /data/media folder during a factory reset. When you factory reset and then boot a 4.2 ROM again, the 4.2 ROM will migrate everything in /data/media again. It will migrate your files every time you factory reset. This multiple migration is what resulted in some people having their files moved to /sdcard/0 or even /sdcard/0/0 etc.

As a special note, if you restore a backup to a prior version of Android, you may have to move your files out of /data/media/0 and into /data/media to be able to see them again.


That is why I highly recommend to use TWRP recovery as it can allow you to backup to external USB drives ( thumb drives, ext sdcard, etc) and you save at least 2 gb precious space from your intermnal memory. Backup is just a single folder file unlike CWNM where is broken down to 2 - one backup + OBB folder. You cannot just simply delete any CWM backup as you cannot identify manually the exact details in the OBB folder
Backup and restore using TWRP is about 30% faster than CWM

Alright, no wonder!
But I read somewhere that cwm is better as it flash the radio better. If not mistaken the root thread in xda

Casing different man. Generally the difference is on the side

1. Mic on the left shift up slightly due to sim card slot
2. Previously mic ontop of tablet shift to above power button.

So if the cut out is ngam ngam one right, might end up blocking these mics.

hei bro, are you using the nillkin sp that comes along with the casing? how is the quality like?

Finally got myself Nexus 7 3g from SenQ, comes with free Macron pouch and 1+ 1 year warranty for RM1099 + RM12 membership (I waited for more then 10days and many calls for the pouch; the promotion ended). Rooted it with stock rom (pg 1 FAQ), flashed Tethering & personal Hotspot (pg 51 by MikeX), downloaded apps recommended in the thread :
1. sound amp Noozxoide EIZO-rewireâ„¢ PRO
2. GPS Waze
3. media player Dice player
4. media player again xm player
5. sms Dinamotxt, but still required bluetooth with android phone
6. cool reader cool reader
7. OTG USB stick mount
8. more to go

that for now. Most tricky part will be rooting. My PC is Win 8 Pro. have to configure Driver in the PC, and please read every message in the tool kit carefully.

I guess rooting android device is the only way to tailor the device suit my needs. As for hardware side, I have found not problem so far. The display color look find for me, softer and crispier (I owned IPAD 1).

I couldn't do this without reading through this thread and I never touch any android device until now. BIG THANK YOU LYN.
