Go take a look in the Nexus 7 section. The first thing I did was unlock and root it. Keep in mind that unlocking it will wipe your data, so I would do that first.

I'm just stock rooted right now. I'm happy with the layout and the battery life is amazing. Got over 9hrs of screen on time last cycle

All of the things. Assuming you already have root you should dl the standard stuff - Titanium Backup/Pro, ES File Explorer, XDA Pro , Voodoo OTA, Rom Toolbox, SuperSU (that's just what I prefer instead of just superuser), Terminal Emulator, and the like. Other than that it's all you. Whatever puts wind in your sails.

And don't forget adaway useful tool
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I just got a 32GB Nexus 7 also trying to decide what ROM to install lol. I love Scott's roms on my Infinity so I will try his first on this.

Running a stock rooted 16gb and using ROM toolbox Pro for Backup, ad blocker, launches nandroid backups, and more. SuperSu Pro for root. SwiftKey Tablet is amazing. Tablet talk is also really handy.
Nova Launcher and HD Widgets look very slick.
Don't forget about stick mount, I picked up a Samsung otg on Amazon. Speaker Boost also helps my earphones while watching movies on the plane.

I know it's kind of a cardinal sin on XDA but I am still running rooted stock 4.1.2 on my N7 also. I've tried a few custom ROMs but I always end up going back to stock bc it seems like it runs smoother.

Yeah, I've been thinking about trying a rom solely for tablet mode, but it works really well the way it is on stock

Great question! Download setcpu and setup profiles for when screen turns on and off.
I'm not sure if its related to the kernel because i have always had this issue and I have tried every kernel for N7.
That would happen to me too, don't use set CPU it doesn't work well with our devices apparently. What I would do is set the max and min frequencies all the way down and then to whatever I desired and it usually stuck.
If its as bad as my issue I actually had to rerun the root/unlock tool kit again to fix it. It happened on every kernel I tried.

try updating your busybox, or make sure its installed, if it isn't. use stericsons busybox app to install/update it. it could also be that your rom doesnt have the fix. the trinity kernel toolbox app has the fix, if your rom doesnt.

Works fine for me, Stock, rooted, unlocked boot loader, Franco kernel.
Maybe you have a defective phone?
You haven't frozen anything in Titanium Backup or uninstalled anything?

Looks like they moved my original link so this is a direct link http://suipre.com/8310b8
If you download from the link using your prime use chrome browser. Stock browser didnt work for me.
There is an update in the play store after this. Do not install it or you will be back to not working.

Ah yes the launcher has that hard coded. I guess swapping it for the 2.3.1 launcher would work. Now to find 2.3.1 though! D:
---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------
So here is a fix for anyone tired by the Welcome to Oxygen! message when the launcher starts/restarts.
Took 2.3.1 launcher2.apk and made a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. If you feel like it you can replace the apk manually in /system/app too. Permissions 0644.
Cheers!
Oxygen 2.3.2 Launcher2 fix by polo.zip

Edit: Zip is untested but should in all theory not break anything. Make a nandroid or know what the eff you're doing if you flash this baby.

Questions about ROMs

Well I am fairly new to Android, and I am very weary of flashing my ROM. The only reason I want to is so I can uninstall system apps, as I cannot even uninstall them threw ES File Explorer. (I am rooted)
Or am I simply doing something wrong?
Anyway, what is a good, stable, reliable ROM? I looked at some on here, but they were beta, or an ICS version. I really love the stock icon pack on mine as well.
:s
I am on 4.1.1
Just to uninstall apps? Well... If you like the Moto Blur skin, just get an app freezing/quarantine app...
ROM wise, our current selection is nice. Its what you prefer. You should research the different flavors like Cyanogen Mod and Eclipse. Just to get an idea of what makes those ROMs different from one another. Then get comfortable with safe strap and have at it!
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------
I say just freeze them so you can receive OTA updates. You need those apps present to do it!
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
What is an app freezing/quaratine app? If I can remove system apps without changing ROM, then I would much rather do that. And CM does not offer an official version for Razr M, yeah? Which of the two unofficials, 10 & 10.1, is more stable?
I am not sure where to go to learn all this. :s

Titanium Backup. All you need is root, no custom rom necessary.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
Yeah TiBu allows you to uninstall the bloat rather than freezing if that's what you're looking for

I used I think was Hiuiuninstaller. Something along those lines. To uninstall my system apps.
Thanks for the help though!

You can both uninstall and freeze with Titanium Backup.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
App Quarantine is very simple. It just freezes the app, and hides it away. TiBU is good too! I prefer AQ because of the simplicity of it. You choose from the list of apps what you would like frozen and then hit the lock icon in the top right. Very simple.
