Flash works fine on mine with Firefox, Flash Fox, and Puffin

But does it work with flash videos, such as with Amazon instant video? I can't get it to work under kit kat.

Hi guys

I have recently bought a Nexus 7 and it's my first ever Android device. I keep seeing mention of 'Rooting' but can't seem to work out exactly why I would want to root my device.

For awhile, I didn't root my Nexus 7 (although my Droid RAZR is a different matter). However, after awhile, I wanted to transfer some apps and games onto my Nexus 7 that I had been using on my phone. I use Titanium Backup Pro to  regularly  backup the data on my phone and push them up to my Box account so that way I have the backups stored safely away in case something happens to my phone.

The problem is, you cannot backup application data (since  some apps store it on the /data partition which requires root access to read and write to). Therefore, in order to restore my apps and their settings, I had to root my Nexus 7.

So far, no issues and it runs like a champ. But, if  you aren't into flashing new ROMs or running a custom  recovery to flash the ROMs and  other modifications, then rooting probably isn't something you really need to do.

It's definitely not required to fully enjoy your Nexus 7. Stock out of the box configuration is great.
