Can I just directly flash and use ota root keeper to backup my root?

Don't.

Make sure you are on stock rom 4.2.1 with stock kernel + rooted. Use ota root keeper and then put the update zip in your Nexus 7 and flash the zip to update to 4.2.2.

hi guys,

just got my new n7 yesterday. it performed OTA updates to 4.2.2. question now is how can i root from this version?
*
oh well.. you should have rooted it first in 4.2.1 and use ota rootkeeper to keep your root when you update to 4.2.2

otherwise watch out for updates in this thread for v1.63 to release. WugFresh is working on 1 click root for 4.2.2.

edited. give out wrong link.

Just got my nexus 7. It's a surprise for me that there is no way to connect nexus 7 to projector due to MHL support issue. Can someone assist me some simple workaround for me to connect nexus 7 to projector?

Thanks smile.gif

Use splashtop. But you need a laptop for that.

Nexus 7 > Connect to Laptop (via splashtop) > Laptop screen come out in Nexus 7.

It is what we call Remote Streaming. But, bloody fast and free smile.gif Then again, it doesn't serve your goal but just an alternative.

hi, might be a super noob tertinggal bas question from me,
can nexus 7c make call like galaxy tab 7? if yes, it is great option for cheap quad core tablet+phone
*
There's always a way.

Buy 3G version of N7 and third party hardware that support out calling.

Or using Skype or any other VOIP app to call to mobile phones (requires in APP credits)

just use cheap phones for calling and N7 for everything.

Pricing start from RM79 to RM99. So i guess is within the range. For 3g version, there's 2 microphone. 1 is on top of the microsim slot, 1 is on top of the power button.
The youtube casing review only has the microphone cut out near the microsim slot. no microphone cut out on top of the power button. So I'm guessing the casing is better to be used with wifi version.

sir wifi version have 2 mic too.

Really? I thought only 3g version 2 microphone.
According to gsmarena,
this is the wifi version, look at it carefully, no microphone hole on top of the power button.

file sharing.

Use ES File Explorer to access Local Folders (Shared) in your PC.

Once you get the idea you can opt for many other APPs that are similar to it.

What the best earphone or headphone can pair with my nexus7???
*
I'm using this bluetooth headset

+ wireless! i live in a small house so i can wear it anywhere inside the house without losing connection to my Nexus 7 or laptop.
+ microphone works well with google search/now/skype icon_idea.gif - but for laptop usage you can only use mono for sound when using together with mic.
+ lithium battery!!
+ 3 hour usb charged for 16 hours usage
+ awesome sound quality
+ RM 100 cool2.gif

so far it works with all kind of bluetooth enable phones/laptop/tablet that i had tried. Including Ipad 2, Nexus 7, Iphone 4S.

I've always contemplated on buying this! Is it good?  brows.gif

hmm. if i were to compare it with earphones and wired headset i cannot find any faults. i am quite an audiophiles freak myself so i tend to feel uncomfortable when i get bad speaker headset/earphone. But this headset never let me down smile.gif

things that you need to take note of


- it requires charging (but i usually charge it every 2 days?) and u can still use it when you charge it with the usb cable. Quite a long cable so no different with normal wired headset.
- somehow the size doesn't fit my ear well sad.gif but it still comfortable for full 3-4 gaming hours.

Other then the fact that it does not require AA batteries (uses lithium instead jst like our smartphones) and it is wireless (thank god i love this so much) it just work well. Well spend RM 100 for me. You have 1 year warranty too if im not wrong.

oh ya, it works well with our baby nexus 7. Both the sound and mic rclxms.gif

Its common issue back then. I think the I/O issues are mostly fix in most custom roms.

If I'm not wrong ASUS centre in Lowyat is not directly under ASUS. They're just outsourcing.

That might explain the lack of real communications between them.

I flash back to stock kernel. But still the temp in standby mode 40-45c.

It most probably some high processing app running. Might not be kernel or hardware fault.

Dear Guys,

I have used a LG Nexus 4 for 1.5 months and absolutely love it.  So I I wanna buy a Nexus 7 32GB Wifi only (I dont know the price but maybe around RM900?).  However, i have read some website articles that say Google I/O in May gonna Launch new Nexus 7.7

Articles say Nexus 7.7 will be:-

1. same price as N7;
2. built by LG;
3. with 7.7 inch screen;
4. conflicting articles say will launch 8GB only or 16GB / 32GB.

Do you think I should wait another 2 months?  I will want 32GB but not 16GB or less.

And I want Wifi only.  why buy with cellular when can thethering from Handphone data plan?

Actually I am not urgently in need of it.  just that my children and wife now monopolise my iPad already.  And also itchy to have a Google Tablet experience.
*
Having a Nexus 7 make me ditch my Android phone (I will only use it as tethering). Somehow I end up wanting to receive everything on my Android phone screen (Text and Calls) on my Nexus 7 screen instead. There's of course an app for that.

That being said, I tend to use Nexus 7 a lot until i treated it like a phone. (But no I don't call people I just like receiving and replying notifications all in one place) but its lacking something. A back camera.

New Nexus 7 I'm positive they will have a back camera as well as front ones. Plus, with better screen size and HDMI enabled ready, and I'm sure Google will surprise us with more stuff (Android 5.0 maybe?).

But, the waiting is not only until May. The stock will most likely release somewhere early June, then reach malaysia somewhere early August (just like Nexus 7). If you can wait then it is fine. But the price for 32GB = definitely won't be at RM900. RM900 should be 8GB or if we are lucky 16GB (doubtful if they added more cool hardwares)

If you buy now no you won't have any regret. Nexus 7 is great plus all its libraries are live online. Don't worry about future updates (i would say).

i'm having problem to root the device it stuck at checking fastboot status. it says fastboot device not found. anyone can help?

enter fastboot manually. Maybe because you did not enable USB Debugging. Either do that and restart the program or enter fastboot manually by pressing power button + volume down when the device is turn off.
