Nexus 7 ROM Discussions / Baked Grouper Blackbean
« on: October 25, 2012, 12:04:36 PM »
This ROM was the first one I flashed to the N7, and it was OK, nothing flashy, but pretty stable.

This one offered inverted Google Apps, which most are nowadays, but it came thorugh a little problematic.  The system kept getting confused, and resorting to requesting for permissions constantly, which was the eventual reason for its demise on my device.

As most ROMs with an AOSP base, it offers a fair amount of customization ability, including the addition of Lockscreen weather, calendar, and color change.  Although I am not interested, it also offers AOKP toggles, which some think are good.  The speed of the ROM was good, along with the transitions from app to app being buttery smooth, something we've grown to expect with the device, in general.

Battery life seemed largely unaffected with the change, or if it was, I did not notice a marked change, better or worse.  That said, since the battery life, for my device, is more than sufficient, I am not too concerned with it.  The ROM did give the ability to undervoltage the device if you wish, but I usually stay away from it, unless I am very comfortable with the stability and quality of the ROM, in general.

IMHO, I would probably say that the ROM falls under the "meh" category.

Nexus 7 ROM Discussions / Cookies and Cream 1.3.0
« on: October 25, 2012, 11:51:50 AM »
This ROM is based on the AOSP platform and has been my go to ROM for the Nexus 7 thus far.  There has been minimal issues with this ROM, or more specifically, this iteration of the ROM.  Every issue I have had, mostly with Trebuchet, has been addressed and/or rectified OTA, and the Dev has been very curteous and helpful. 

As far as extras, the ROM comes with a multitude of Apps, including Root, Busybox, Trickster MOD, Apex Launcher, and a few more that I am sure I missed.  The apps have been useful, with the exception of Trickster MOD, which has hung up a couple of times.

The kernal that was included with the ROM is the Bricked (not fond of the name).  The name is the only thing about the kernel that I am not fond of.  It has operated quickly and problem free since day 1.

Overall, this ROM has been good, stable, customizable, and clean from the start, and as far as ROMs go, Iwould definitely reccomend it, especially for a newbie flasher, as this one installs very easily.

Nexus 7 ROM Discussions / ROMs Offered for the Nexus 7 at This Time
« on: October 25, 2012, 09:52:10 AM »
Lately, I have begun to see some buzz related to the various ROMs offered for our beloved Nexus 7.  Strewn through this forum, and others, I have seen various lists of the ROMs currently available for the device.  I felt that since each list has some minor differences, I would try and compile all of the ROMs I could find, along with a quick synopsis of each one.  As time goes on, I will flash each one on my device, and post some of the notable findings/bugs.  Please, if I have missed any, send me a PM, and I will add it to the list.  I will be obtaining the information from the various forums I am part of, and other repositories, and will try and note them all at the end.  Also, as the list is going to be sizable, if a new version of the ROM comes out, and I miss it, please send me a PM, and I will update the link. 
Thanks, and happy flashing!

Nexus 7 User Tips / Factory Reset
« on: October 03, 2012, 10:47:58 AM »
As you aquire various apps, the time comes for all of us when one of those apps do not play in the sandbox well with the other ones, then decides to crash everything.  In order to fix it, you will occassionally need to perform a factory reset, thus wiping everything on the device, and start from a clean slate.  Attached below, please find the link to perform that action.

Hello all, I got my N7 last week, and so far, like it far better than my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.  I'm looking forward to spending some time here, and if there's anything I can do, please let me know.
