ROM compatibility with 8GB version? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im getting a N7 in a few days and im sure this has been asked before, but do all ROMs work with the 8GB version? Just wanting to make sure, because I saw a OP in a ROM thread that looked like it said it was for the 16 only. Excuse the n00btastic question, but I just want to make sure. Thanks. :good:

The Roms should work with all the nexus 7s. The only major difference between 16gb and 8gb versions is the storage.

8GB or 16GB difference?

Is there a difference from these 2 models then just memory? The reason I ask is because like the nook tablet the 8GB model had less dev support (cause it was newer) and was slightly different internally between the two, thanks

There's no other difference.
Ok cool, thanks

Nope
You can, however, browse these forums for alternative storage methods
Nope.
You can though get an OTG cable and use a flash drive, with root of course.

I heard it was asus' way of trying to fix the screen lift.
But coking from someone who bought the 16gb model, I would recommend 32gb. You only get around 13 usable gb with the 16 version
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Its not a fault it was a change in the manufacturing process. If you buy a 16gb model the screws will be missing too. But only you can answer the question about which model you should get. I would personally go for the 32gb since it has the most space but if you just use your tablet for internet browsing and social media then a 16gb model would be ok,

About the nexus 4?

Would it be smarter for me to order the nexus 4 or just get the s4? Can any of you give me some of your input on the nexus 4 since you've had yours? Are you pleased with it or do you sometimes regret your decision on getting the nexus 4? One more thing, right now I have the s3 and is no 4g really that much of a dealbreker?
Do a search as this question has been asked quite a few times....but in a nutshell if you prefer vanilla over bloatware, great dev support and the latest updates as soon they are released then get a nexus....can't really speak on the s4. Hope it helps..

Dude the S4 is so crippled and packed with 7GB of OS and mostly bloatware that you have too root it and strip down all the not needed apps and widgets. I had all the Galaxy devices but i`am gona skip the S4. The Nexus 4 is realy a breath of fresh air and 50% cheaper. I had the S3 too but wouldnt trade my N4 for one.

Thanks for the response. If I was to get the 8 gb nexus 4,how much of that is formatted before I get it. How about the 16 gb?

I have the 16Gb for a few dollars more, 8 GB is a bit to small for me personaly. About 3 GB is for the OS so 12,8 GB remains for the user. On the 8GB one you have 4,8 GB left.

Don't order yet.....wait until I/o on may 15 , you may see new phone or nexus 4 upgrade..

Waiting 10 days is not same as 5 to 6 months....
We don't know for sure, we pretty sure the nexus will already get lte support
Its definitely worth waiting
If development is your thing. You found the right place.

I have an s3 currently and am buying a nexus 4 tomorrow. All the bloat on the s3 is leading me to buy a stock Android experience. Nexus 4 ftw.

$600 vs $300
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Ok. No update to the N4, I just went from the n4 to the ONE. it's not worth the $300 difference.
Tapatalk and some apps other is actually slower. The screen is nicer but the camera might actually be worse. It camera is soft under certain conditions and very poor lens flaring.

Upgrading to Nexus 4

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying a new phone. What do you think, at this time is it worth buying a nexus 4 or better wait till the next nexus phone and get that one?
Thanks in advance.

I just upgrade phone from Galaxy S3. I can say , N4 is a lot better. Go ahead and upgrade, you wont regret it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The Nexus 4 is fast and easy to root. It also has many kernel and ROM versions customized by the developers. Unless you have to have a Galaxy S4 or HTC One, the Nexus is the phone to have.
100% that my next phone is gonna be a nexus. But the question is which nexus I should buy; nexus 4 or the next nexus.
Cheers

If you have a phone at the moment and you're not in a hurry then wait for the next nexus. Keep in mind the next nexus should come by the end of the year, and it will be sold out at first and there will be problems with availability. Most probably you won't get your hands on one before january.
If you need a phone now, then get the nexus4

8 gig wouldn't be enough, bump your wallet a bit to get the 16 gig version. Heck, even 16 gig might not be enough.

I have 2gb left on my 16, if you compromise some apps and games, you'll be fine
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.728 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
I know, I still have 4 gigs left even with 3gigs of music and 2 2gigs data games on it.
But 2 gigs on a 16 doesn't feel good to me, it would be better if we can just relax about storage without limiting some apps and games and pulling NAND backups every now and then. 32 gigs would've been perfect...
