Pfm, I think you just got lucky. Will it consistently work on 4.2.2. If you now go to 4.3 will it work?

nope.. i came to a conclusion that any android version under 4.2.2 will work consistently (tried custom roms and even 4.2.0 and still consistently worked) then i tried every version 4.3 and up and it sent me to a bootloop every time.
ps im using Wug's toolkit to flash these.

What bugs?
Screen flickering ,random lags when accessing settings or apps.

I've seen none of those problems at all. No screen flickering, no lag, nothing.

Chrome seems laggier than it should be, hope there is some issue there than can be fixed to improve performance.
Every Nexus 7 I've had so far (that'd be 4) have all had washed out looking greens and yellows and over saturated whites. Hoping that is something a patch can fix.
Tegra 3's Prism smart dimmer feature causes the screen to look over exposed while and after videos play (fades away after a few seconds). I've disabled the smart dimmer, so it's okay for me, but seems like an issue that needs a patch.
I have seen nothing in JB 4.1.1 that would require an update at this point.
Might as well expect an update for dark pixels.

Screen flickering is a known hardware issue
Mine lags bad from time to time. I wonder if it has to do with google now because my galaxy nexus lags just as bad if not worse when i tap the google now search bar. I was trying to find and app (shazam) and thought it would be faster to look for it through now, but it lagged and lagged and lagged. By the time I got the app open, the song was over and I couldn't tag it.
My Gnexus is great, fast ,no complains at all,Google now is quick I got no lag, but on the nexus 7 it becomes a problem to the point that I have to switch it off and use the browser.

I use dropbox which is pretty much the same in terms of resources. I have play movies, music, currents, books. I have pandora on there, google now, generally everything you could need. I've done this on both stock 4.1.1 and on Paranoid Android (every iteration). Literally NO lag. Even being slightly underclocked.

Nope, it's from a poorly soldered wifi chip, that is drawing power away from the screen when wifi is low.
I had this issue, and called Google personally for support, and the person confirmed that the screen flickering was hardware, not software.

That's what I thought he meant, but I think he means 4.1.2 to fix any bugs (that I haven't noticed) in 4.1.1

Never had any of that so I doubt its a "software issue". If it is its likely something you installed.
quick update about the lag on the nexus7:
i used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.2 to root and install recovery about 4 times ,and in all this times i had problems with lag ,so two days ago i decided to restart again and root the n7 with Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v2.0 but without installing the custom recovery.
now it very quick and as no lag at all,and yes i loaded the identical apps all the previous time.
ideas???

I think most of the lag is because of a bad app or a setting somewhere. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I'm just looking forward to the update that fixes the bootloader issues with accessing recovery without the usb cable or using terminal commands/adb/apps.

Slow Nexus 7..

For some reason my Nexus 7 is strangely slow lately idk why, but I want to know if anyone else has seen there Nexus 7 lagging? And if anyone knows how to speed it up? Posting screen shot of my system info.

Exactly the same here. Typing's hard work, and tapping icons or buttons can take a couple of tries before it registers. All updated and tried a reboot.
You should upgade to 4.2.2, make full wipe and start from scratch. Then you will see if lag is still there.

Try lagfix(fstrim) anyway it free and took only a few seconds to finish it's job. Even you're already have more than 5 GB free but in the old kernel seem to have a problem with nand flash controller.

Random reboots - GT-I9505, Help`?

Hi, i've got my hands on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running 4.2.2 MH6. Im updating it at the moment. but it reboots atleast 2 to 3 times a day. for no reason? it's not modded but AVG is installed. could that be the problem?
Can you make screenshots about your app launcher and sys info? Looks like some strange apps led to that. Or you can try to flash a Perseus kernel(or Adam,up to u).

Updated it to 4.3 but the problems are still there, it's under warranty. i noticed now that there was another problem. Network signal goes off then after some seconds it reboots as well. Should i turn it in again? it was just in for screen replacement! problems started after the screen was replaced! no problems before! it's a freind of mine that has this phone! and no he isn't going to mod his phone.
Anyone?

As already mentioned in other threads it's most likely that's the battery that needs to be changed due to a series of bad batteries that was shipped with the galaxy S4.
try it out with another battery and your problem will be solved

You probably can't do it, since all of the drivers and such are for 4.2 onwards.

That's pretty impressive . Are you using a custom rom or everything is stock?

I am running SHOstock 4.4.2 rom, but it would get that hot even with stock mf3. It's been up to 108f or 109f many many times and i have not noticed any ill affects.
