New to the Nexus 7, love it.
Any ROMs that have flash support? My wife is asking.

Any ROM can have flash support, but since its not official you can't download it from the market. You'll have to search for Flash for JellyBean, lots of posts here on XDA with download links. I'm using Flash on my Fascinate, Galaxy Nexus, and my Nexus 7, all running JB, using it with Dolphin browser, but it works with others as well.
If you fiddle with older versions of apps, yes.
Just don't expect to update everything and have flash still working

I just received my nexus 7 and there's already an update available. I plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom. Should I update or not? I know sometimes an update can cause problems when it comes to rooting and whatnot so I thought I'd ask first.. thanks for any feedback!

Yes update it. I updated to 4.1.1 first then unlocked, then rooted with permanent cwm then flashed touch cwm from rom manager.
Use nexus toolkit though so you can restore stock recovery to flash Amy new updates and root again easily.
Also no harm updating to 4.1.1 and then rooting we have methods set up for that right now.

You can root it before or after update, you're just updating to 4.1.1, or you can install a ROM that is already there, if you're rooting either way, just go for it right away

This is a nexus device. Unlike other devices you never need to fear an update may break your ability to root.

How do you root the Verizon GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 running JB 4.1.2? Just picked up my device today and it auto updated while I was gone from the home..
Look at the root/bootloader/recovery thread in the Development. Quick search goes a long way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=verizon%20galaxy%20tab%202%20root
How do I get rid of this Custom icon with an unlock icon that shows up when my device boots? On my S3 I just had to unlock the bootloader to get rid of it. How do I do that on the Tab?
Did you follow all the steps in the root/BOOTLOADER/recovery thread?

All I wanted to do was root the device so I did not do any of the unlocking stuff. Do I need to unlock like I had to on my S3 to get rid of the custom unlock icon on boot?

Yep. Unlock or it'll always bug ya.

If you follow steps 1-3 in the root bootloader recovery thread it'll get you rooted unlocked and custom recovery. Lol

Hey Mr. Hyde
I found your thread here on rooting the VZW tab 2 7.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558
And was wondering if it works for the VZW tab 2 10.1, SCH-i915
I've been scouring this site for months now and still have yet to find a working root. Thanks!
This is a system image from the i705. It MIGHT be compatible with the 915, but I can't say nor do I recommend it unless you get have a stock odin image to flash back to.
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
Ahh ok thanks! I'm looking for a link on how to make my own stock rom from my i915 because I haven't been able to find any stock roms for it on the forums so far. Just gotta figure out how to do that haha.
Is there a stock image for the I705?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Only the stock rooted version. No leaked Odin firmware unfortunately.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
So if anything happens I can always Odin the stock rooted version right?

If anything happens to your ROM, yes.

I just hope it can still get OTA updates. Nut then we would need another custom kernel wouldn't we? OTA rootkeeper would keep the root.
Another custom kernel for ota? Nah, Just wait for one of us to rape the ota and make it safe for custom users then wait for updated builds.
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
Judging from the board their really isnt much of a need to atleast not until the OTA update comes out or when custom roms and kernels come out for 4.3.. I mean battery life on 4.3 has been hit or miss, Rooting 4.3 is still buggy and may not work right?
I'll get it when my phones finally get the OTA I can wait to root if need be. Just as I can wait for custom roms and kernels too.

just flash the .33/.83 hybrid radio, download the network app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network), select lte/gsm (auto), change your apn from epc.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com and enjoy.
I actually jumped on it right away, but evidently my favorite app (Podkicker Pro) needs tweeking to be compatible with it because it keeps crashing every time i open it. I went back to 4.2.2 for now but once Podkicker is updated, then I'll jump back onto 4.3. My only regret is that I'll miss the original gtalk app. So far, I am NOT a fan of Hangouts.
Chainfire's SU for the SGS4 works on our N4s. He posted it on his Google+ page. It is also referenced in the 4.3 OTA thread.

What do i do if i get this message in cmd? says that it is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Im on windows 8
Yep, I'm going to wait. I put the factory image on my Nexus 7, but I'm going to wait for Cyanogenmod to release a 4.3 build for the Nexus 4.
Waiting for mbq's BBQ ROM so I'll be waiting for the betas.

Waiting for Halo + 4.3.
I'm not going to complain about it though in the thread because I want them to take there time and do it right.

I got the ota link from here and haven't looked back since. I didn't have 4g for all of 20 hours and now I am on some pure Aosp goodness from Jarjar124. No complaints from me even though I thought it would kill me to be on vanilla'sh ROMs.
Going to wait till the JellyBeer ROM updates
I jumped. I'll install PA4.3 when its dropped tho. But I really like 4.3 Improvement all around.
Waiting for PA...
Can't help with the fact that I have to sacrifice so many features from custom ROM and kernel for the "upgrade". The android version can wait.
nevermind I was gonna do it but my drivers are messed up or its windows 8 fault but cmd doesnt recognize my Nexus 4 so I'll just wait for the POT update. screw it
I am waiting for Paranoid Android to upgrade to 4.3

I want to root my Nexus 4 and install newest CM. One problem is, that there is Android 4.4 update comming soon. So if I root my Nexus and install CM, can I get my phone back to stock and update Android to 4.4?
Yes. You can either flash the 4.4 images, or simply install a 4.4 based custom ROM (the more practical solution my opinion) since you will already have installed a custom recovery.

If I have CM installed, can I somehow get everything to stock. Like my Nexus 4 just came out of box?
