Hi,
What are my options for using CIFS mounts on the Nexus 10 at the moment? I'm on stock JOP40D at the moment; unlocked and rooted.
The thread here looked promising, but it having tried every method in there, nothing seems to work and the thread has forked into CM discussion. I would prefer to use [modify] stock Android rather than start using custom ROMs at the moment.
Thanks.

For those who want Android 4.0.3 compiled from source. Also has separate Gapps, Face Unlock, and SU root.
Not in development because I didn't develop this. I just compiled from Google's source. This is for people who want plain old Android 4.0.3 the way Google intended from source (not much apps, very plain).
You will need CWM already installed. If you do not have CWM, you can use fastboot to boot to it without installing just to install the ROM. The zip files must be copied to /sdcard. You can use ADB to push to /sdcard.

I compiled for both the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus (GSM version). GNex = Maguro, NexS = Crespo
I want to thank Shenye for writing the guide on how to compile ICS from source. I learned a lot, and I plan on learning more.
Note: I am experiencing some issues with root. I have to find another way to root 4.0.3. The Superuser file seem to work with only 4.0.2. I'm searching around for the root for 4.0.3. I'm sure someone already found a way in this fine forum.
You can get the latest SU version from here. Works fine on 4.0.3: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
But, what's with this ROM? How's it different from stock, except that you want to add superuser? You can try your luck in the development section, see what's missing there.
Personally, I'm happy with 4.0.3 stock and francisofranco's 3.0.8.

Im going to give that a try. This is just a straight compile from source. It's different from stock because it's built from source code, so no Google Apps. It's different from other ROMS because it's a blank slate.
So this is why it's not in the development section. I'd like to root this image as well, but it will NOT be a part of the ROM. Again, it's a blank slate for those who don't feel like going through the motions of downloading and compiling it themselves, or those who are curious of what Android looks like without anyone touching it.
Even Google's "stock" factory image has been touched up. This is ROM is a raw Android ICS build. A blank slate for all to use.
For me, personally, I can't wait for Google's official 4.0.3 update, so I'm making it myself. I want to install Gapps and root it. Nothing else.

I get an error.

Thanks naddie very much!
I just needs the original source rom to test my mod.
hi, naddie, thanks for this.
to gain root i used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479831, then installed CWM and flashed CWM recovery, then installed SU from Market and to keep root i used this method (in root browser): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10029098&postcount=2 (point 8).
now i will test different kernels and try not to flash custom ROMs
Hi all. I am a proud owner of a 32gb wifi Nexus 7. While not new to Android, this is my 1st tablet. Love the size, weight and most of all...is android!
My question is, what combination of ROM with kernel would be best? I know there are a lot of things to consider, but I am looking for opinions only. Without talking down certain ROMs and/or kernels, we can share here opinions based on stability, customization and smoothness! I already encounter an issue when I rooted my 2 days brand new N7 rooting it with the Tool kit. Rooted it fast and easy (successfully), but installed TWRP. Me knowing no better, I love and I'm used to CWM, so I installed ROM Manager and CWM. Long story short, when I went to flash one ROM in particular, in recovery, when I formated system, data reset, wiped cache & dalvik, it wiped my sdcard clean. I mean, thats how I flash my Note 2 for a clean install and never had an issue like that. Then, when I tried to get into recovery via fastboot, I couldn't. It was like CWM wasn't there.
Thanks to the Tool Kit, I was able to un root and go back to stock....then rooted again (with TWRP) and finally flashed CM-10 stable. Also flashed faux's 4.1.2 kernel @ 1600. I like what I have so far, but I would like something more. I got the stable CM-10 from the actual CM thread so the ROM is pretty much untouched.
Can anybody please share what ROM and kernel I should try for a bit of stability, power and smothness at the same time? Any inputs and/or advice, will be greatly appreciated!
Try Paranoidandroid as a ROM. And i think the kernel that comes with it is the smoothest i have used with it.

Hi, Wally72...
I don't know if this question can be answered objectively... it all hinges on how you intend to use the device, day to day. If your going to be playing high-octane video games, then a kernel that supports overclocking would be advised... but that will come at a battery life cost. More CPU cycles = battery drain.
For myself, I am currently running PaulOBriens MoDaCo custom ROM (can't post links yet, but Google MoDaCo Nexus7, and you should find it)...
The standard MoDaCo ROM for the N7 doesn't go too far off stock... it just adds some really nice features... AOSP browser (better than Chrome IMHO), expanded powerdown menu, Adobe Flash Player in /system (although Adobe no longer support it, it's still useful to have).
Paul has recently ventured into CyanogenMod territory with CM10.1 unofficial nightlies... which he has stated will be released every Friday.
And this is what I'm running now - MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROM r3 - and in conjunction with Franco's r39 kernel, it's incredibly smooth... and very respectible battery performance as well.
Hope this is of some use...
Rgrds,
Ged.

HI All,
Long time lurker
I get a bit overwhelmed with rooting / flashing and such but yesterday i received my RMA Nexus 4 and decided to give it a crack as it was a fresh start.
Used CF-Root on my Nexus 4, then i flashed Paranoid Android (v3) using Rom Manager (both excellent bits of software and really easy to use) i was so impressed with Paranoid Android (love the tablet mode) so decided to give it a go on my Nexus 7
Used CF-Root again and unlocked boot loader and rooted ok, installed Rom Manger and booted to recovery but it gave me errors when i attempted to load Paranoid Android so i exited and now back just stock software.
I used the same ROM for Paranoid Android that i used for the Nexus 4, i wasn't able to fine a specific build for the Nexus 7 so assumed that they use the same ROM? i now think i was wrong but cant find a specific ROM for my Nexus 7
Would someone be kind enough to tell me if i do need a different build for the Nexus 7 and also if i need a different GAAPS download?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been posted before, so much conflicting information and out of date links around the web, i just wanted to be sure.
Cheers
Steve

All I did when I got my Nexus 7 was downloaded the Toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
Use that and run the "All-in-One" unlock,recovery,root,busybox etc.
Note: Technically all you really needed was a custom recovery to stick and you can flash a custom rom, but I like to run the All-In-One just in case.
As for the rom, you should not flash another device's rom. Only use the one designated for your specific device. Flashing another device's will likely brick/bootloop your current device.
To make things easier, think of it like this:
Custom Roms likely already have root privileges, so flashing them automatically gives u root access. In order to flash a custom rom, you simply need a recovery like CWM or TWRP. You can achieve that however you like, but the Toolkit is easiest in my opinion.
When you flash a rom, read the requirements on the thread. It should be as easy as wiping Cache/Dalvik/Data, Flash Rom, Flash GAPPS, Flash Kernel if you want to, Flash Multi DPI Play Store if you change dpi of your apps, then reboot.
Paranoid android thread of nexus 7 is HERE, ROM is available for both grouper and tilapia.
+1 on aria807. Nexus toolkit is great for beginners and is very error proof. I've since moved onto fastboot and abd command line, but I still use the tool kit to restore to stock because its fast and easy. Damn program even downloads the images for you.

Hey all, just looking for an all in one flash if anyone has made it yet, fastboot and the Android SDK etc. Isn't available to me as I'm no where near my home or office computer and won't be for quite some time.
Now I have the latest version of CWM (the one that is supposed to be 4.4 compatible) ready to flash over once I have flashed 4.4 and I'll be doing a clean install, I'm happy enough with stock and rooted and my boot loader is already unlocked, I'm not to great with this stuff, I can work with CWM but that's about it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I've tried looking about but there seems to be so much going on and 4.4 threads everywhere, feeling confused on where to go and embarrassed that I'm just adding to the problem.
Check in the Dev forum, there are enough flashable zips

i am looking for a rom for my nexus 7 2012 which i can overclock and root please help.
You can root any firmware, all you need for that is a custom recovery like TWRP to insert the super-user utility into the system partition.
Many firmware images have SU built-in, you just need to enable it somewhere in the system configuration. In CyanogenMod's case, enabling SU for ADB-only, apps-only, neither or both is an option under the Developers menu.
Not sure for overclocking. Cyanogen used to have some overclocking controls but they did not seem to work right and appear to have been removed in the more recent builds - at least I cannot find the options anywhere on my N7. With SU installed though, there should be a few ways to circumvent the lack of a GUI to mess with clock settings.

Get CM13 and install Daniel_hk's kernel for OC
If you want a custom ROM that is super smooth and simple then you should definitely give Slimkat 4.4.4 a try.Ever since i upgraded to Lolipop my Nexus 7 had become slow and laggy but Slimkat has brought the fast and slick experience back to my tablet.
