Zack vs. Cloud - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I received the Nexus 7 in the mail, rooted it and such. But, now when I go to the roms on this forum all I see are roms that look exactly like roms for my Galaxy Nexus including (Phone) icons? Can anyone explain this? I mean, why would anyone want a rom that's built for their phone to be ran on a Tablet? That isn't 3G and all that magical stuff. Is the Nexus 7 having an identity crisis?

From what I can understand from this thread, you believe the nexus 7 has the exact same roms as the gnex? Are you in the right forum? There is a clear difference between the n7 and gnex(screen size) so if they have similar roms does it truly matter?

Ok, Your response didn't Answer anything. You just asked another question. Thanks for the attempt

Okay no need to be a jackass here buddy And what do you mean by an "identity crisis"? The nexus 7 is obviously a different a device than the GNex, and the GNex ROMs obviously not the same as the Nexus 7 ROMs by ANY MEANS. Open your eyes sir and scroll down a little bit in both the original development and development sections.

Let's all relax now. The screenshots used in the op of most ROMs are standard to that ROM on all devices. Its just a generic screenshot. Every ROM I have used is hybrid (or otherwise configurable)

Hi,
I believe zZDave_Stud had replied in an appropriate manner. There is a clear differece between the ROMS of both. I suggest you to have an in-depth research on it :fingers-crossed: , or refer to a post: www(dot)forums(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/186239-galaxy-nexus-owners.html - Not exactly what you are looking for

Tips for 32gb WiFi.

I have a 32gb WiFi nexus 7, I have been looking threw the different Roms. What's the best ROM for performance( gaming) and good features. What's a good kernel to use also?

Threads such as this get locked as soon as the mods get wind of them because there is no such thing as a best rom or kernel. It's like asking someone "what kind of food should be my favorite." No one but yourself can answer that question for you.
Want to know which will be best for you? Head on over to the device forums, read up on some of the offerings, and then take those that pique your interest for a test drive.

Well, you beat me to it.. Thanks!

Which ROM should I choose?

I've recently bought my Nexus 7 32GB Wifi, and I'm kinda flashaholic... And since I'm new to this device, I don't really know which ROMs are the best... As I've seen, most of the ROM OPs do not post ROM-bugs, which I find pretty frustrating, so I'll give you guys a list over things I'm looking for (I think you know more great ROMs than me, since I've just had my Nexus for 4 days!).
I like the stock ROM very much because of its stability, but I miss some customizations!
Okay, here's the list over what I'm looking for:
-A very stable and bugless (almost) ROM!
-A well-featured ROM with many customizations...
-A fast and powerfull ROM which don't shorten my tablets lifetime! (I'm thinking of no under/overvoltage, etc...
-And ofc... Android 4.2.1+
-The ability to place any widget on the lockscreen!
-Good battery-life!
Don't hate me if I want too much...
Thanks!

See sig
Stock rom
Which food should you like? What color should be your favorite? Like the subject matter of your post, no one can, or should, answer these questions but you. Test drive some and see what YOU like best... see what performs best on your unique hardware.
Oh, and IBTL.

I totally agree to the above opinion. To select your ROM, the following thread may help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36018963
If this is your 1st time to flash a custom ROM, i recommend CyanogenMod or AOKP. If you're looking for ROMs for tablet UI, please try ParanoidAndroid or SGT7.
Anyway ,try many ROMs to find out your favorite. enjoy
Seriously? If you scroll down just a little, you will see 1000 people who asked the same question. Read those. People starting new threads to ask this exact question twice every day insane, and has to be bad for server space. The devs take alot of time to write out exactly what their rom offers, bugs, pros and cons so you can be educated. To not read them and take the lazy route and srart a new thread is disrespectful to their efforts. Sorry, but after seeing this same thing so many times, it gets rediculous.

I was actually asking for your opinion, not hate because I'm curious! And I've never seem to find a good ROM with looking in other threads made by people with other needs!
And, no! This is not the first time I've flashed a ROM!

The issue is that thread such this are tiredly pointless. No one but you can answer your question. The only rom that you should choose is the one that you try for yourself and; ends up being what you like. No one is clairvoyant enough to predict what will give you the feature set you'll be happiest with or how a given rom will perform on your unique hardware.
The mods invariably lock these threads a soon as they catch wind of them for this very reason. I imagine the only reason it survived as long as it has is only because it hasn't popped up on their radar yet.
Rather than wasting your time and energy asking what you should choose, go to the Dev forum, read up on some of the offerings available, and then test drive the ones that pique your interest until you find the one that satisfies you.
No hate- just sound, practical advice.

what do u mean???
He means this thread will likely be locked as there is no 'best ROM' and all the information you need is contained within the ROM threads. For those things in life that you don't get handed on a plate, use search instead.
Dead link removed by Moderator.
Your obviously new here, do everyone a favor, including yourself and spend some time just reading and using the search function to get familiar with things around here.

You boys behave yourselves
There is no "best rom" as stated prior. That's because different users have different tastes, Also, certain roms run differently on different tablets. And there's no way to predict.
Take your time and read the rom threads. You'll see if there are well known issues or or not.

Hey, next time you're looking for something, try to do a google search for it. I googled "htc one font xda" and came across this thread. I've no idea if fonts are device-specific so be careful tweaking your phone. You will have some bad encounters with people here by just asking for something that can easily be searched for. Just saying . Also, you may want to delete your previous post over HERE.
Seriously Vicino? why dont you help the man instead of questioning it and making it more difficult than it has to be?, and not very many people were helpful on the other thread so he posted a new thread in hopes that the N4 community will be more helpful. Ease off guys, stop being so harsh and difficult. Not flaming anybody but its frustration seeing people who ask for help not get the help they need.
I think HTC one font is the same as sense 5 font, right?
