Hey there.
I'm looking for a way to get the tablet UI back on 4.2.1. Every thread I read, the offered solutions were for the WiFi devices only. I sincerly hope I just misread or didnt read the appropriate threads.
If possible I'd like to avoid flashing a rom altogether. I'm pretty satisfied with rooted stock status as of now.
Help appreciated
AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and CodeFireX are also there for 3G version and have TabletUI in them
I think it was only possible on 4.1 Google took it out of 4.2
So your best option is to find a ROM with tab ui cooked in.

Sorry if this is a really simple but im looking for some help with my desire hd.
I currently have cyanogenmod 7 (android ver 2.3.3), although, overall quite happy with it im having a few issues with bluetooth and wifi - these may be fixable but im looking to switch roms to change things up a bit.
Ive seen that jelly bean is now available. cyanogenmod doesnt seem to have the jelly bean rom yet.
I wanted to maybe try the stock jelly bean OS and then maybe have a look at some other roms available for this OS.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a download for the stock and maybe some other recommended STABLE roms for jelly bean?
its been about a year since ive flashed a rom so im not up to date with some of the roms etc. i have tried a search but couldnt find anything!
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Sure. Go over to the dev section, read the first two pages and the last ten of each rom. That will give you an idea.

Jellybean ROM
Dowsett I flashed Jellytime r6 last night, my first leap from CM7.2
Whilst there are a few tiny snags, the biggest being an odd black screen (actually backlight snag) when unlocking the phone, the ROM is fast and stable and I much prefer it over CM7.2
I recommend this, I'm not going back, its really made my DHD feel new again.

I'm using Jellytime AOKP 7 and have been using the Jellytime builds since early on. The bugs can be frustrating at times, but ics and now jelly bean are so much better on the whole compared to gingerbread, I'll never go back.

There is dozens of this exact thread in the Nexus S forums. A few active and talking right now in this very sub forum. Its all a matter of personal opinion. Do some searches, read some reviews, flash and try and base your decision by your use cause no one uses their phone the same way with the same signals.

You seem new to roms, its probably best for you to start out with this combination:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10 Nightlies
Kernel: Default CM10 kernel
or
ROM: Rasbeanjelly
Kernel: Trinity kernel
Also heres a popular list of roms and kernels
ROMs: CM10 Nightlies, Slimbean, Blackbean, Rasbeanjelly, Strawberry
Kernels: Marmite, Matrix, Trinity, Air
You can find all of them here.

You need to wipe everything (except sdcard) if you're moving from a different rom (PA)
Just do a nandroid/titanium backup and everything will be fine.
Here's the link to stock, rooted, deodexed 4.1.2 rom: http://d-h.st/t7o
_thalamus 4.1.2 kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlc10xyx1...3.0.31-666_rel-9-g76bb0a5-20121016-213036.zip

CM10 is your best bet, other ROMs like Rasbeanjelly+Trinity is also good too but it's more likely a gimmick imo.
Definitely start out with CM10. I just recently got into flashing custom ROMs on my Nexus S (was rocking stock for a long time), and CM10 + Marmite kernel (smartassV2, cfq, 200/1000) is my preferred setup.
I've also tried my luck with Slimbean and Strawberry 4.1.2, but both of them always had little annoyances that you simply don't have to worry about with CM10. That being said, the AOSP-based ROMs like Strawberry and Slimbean do run very smoothly. I do plan on trying out AOKP, however, as it has a TON of customization options and appears to be pretty polished overall.
Slim Bean is the best rom for me, but I can customize everything so I have no problem. For most people it's better to use CM10 and the Jelly Bean 4.2 gapps.

Both the ROM and kernel can have an effect on gaming performance. Try testing out another kernel to see if anything improves.
Like I said earlier, I highly recommend Marmite for the Nexus S. It has great performance and battery life.

Hi, I just rooted my Nexus S (Mobilicity) the first time and I have some question here:
1. Should I just install this CM10 nightly cm-10-20121115-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip (seems to be the latest) ?
2. I found gapps 4.2 here ]highonandroid.com/android-apps/googleapps-4-2-for-android-jelly-bean-roms-gapps/, Can I use this for CM10?
3. Do I need to flash radio for CM10?

1. Yes, that's the latest nightly. Should be very stable, as far as I know.
2. DO NOT download that gapps file. The one linked in that article has the old, ugly prototype keyboard and has force closes up the anus. You can search this forum for better packages of the 4.2 Google Apps, but they are all still a little too buggy or incomplete for my tastes.
3. No need to flash a radio. CM will not overwrite your current one.

Thanks for your advice, I am using CM10 now. cheers!!!
Hi guys
in my experience, the best combo is:
ROM: CodenameAndroid 3.5.0
Kernel AirKernel stable r2
the battery life is very good, there is no lag and with new ADW launcher, homescreen and drawer are very smooth
Good day everyone. Been reading allot, first post. Had CM on my nexus phones for few years. Just got nexus 7 and before I spend time rooting can anyone tell me if CM10.1 (android 4.2.1) has stock launcher or a different one such as adw that they used to have ?
Basically is it far from stock?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
The download links at the Android Revolution HD ROM aren't working in the original thread.
Does anyone have any alternate link?
Can anyone upload it somewhere please?
If you want a stock rom with root access I'd suggest Revolver. It has all the ASUS widgets you were looking for in the other thread you posted, but with a lot of tweaks to make it perform faster. It's (in my opinion) the best ICS rom that looks like what you got out of the box.
Having said that, the Jellybean (4.2.1) roms are pretty awesome.

I installed ARHD ROM. Went to their IRC and got the link.
I've refrained from JB ROMs because of the lack of Asus apps only. Also, I quite dislike the change in the bottom buttons, notification panel, etc..
I had tried RaymanFX 4.2.1 ROM v0.6 It was laggy for me. It's become better now I suppose?
About Revolver, should I go for it over ARHD?
The thread's too long and I wasn't sure about what Revolver Parts were being mentioned on the thread, so I stayed away from that one.
Revolver Parts were recently discontinued. Essentially they were just add-ons via an app on Google Play. When I ran ICS I used Revolver after spending a lot of time reading through each thread. It's the closest to the stock rom I could find and was pretty happy with it. I didn't go as far as installing Revolver so I can't say if it's better or not.
I'm currently using ARHD and am quite satisfied with the performance. I'd upgrade to 4.2.x sometime in the future perhaps. RaymanFX or something..
From your signature...EOS has come out with 4.2.x ROMs? Last I saw they were 4.1.x based. Or I might have missed something.
I had flashed RaymanFX's ROM but didn't like the changes made in JellyBean. So I switched back to ARHD.
Also, Camera etc weren't working back then on 4.2.x ROMs. If any 4.2.x ROM gets stable enough, I'd gladly upgrade.
Hi guys...
I have a N7 16Gb from october and I think thare's not a real reason to change the rom on this device...except the tablet ui and the general fun to make it!
Well...
I'm not here to ask you guide etc. but an advice.
What custom rom do you advice? many talk about Paranoidandroid but I try it on an old Galaxy Scl and it was pretty horrible and unstable...but on nexus seems the rom most supportend and with much more feature...
Or I'm attracted by the Dirk AOKP that seem pretty good....
Beside this....it's difficult also the kernel decision...
Franco Kernel? or M3 or Trinity? I'm not interested in overclock...
thanks to all in advance
no one?
No one is answering because there are a ton of these threads asked all the time. There is no best Rom or Kernel. Try searching and see what features you like or what sounds interesting and then just install it and see for yourself.
I personally like the Omega 3 kernel, OC is optional and it has just about every scheduler/governor you could possibly want. Performance and battery life are pretty much on par with the other top kernels. I haven't tried any ROMS mainly because the 2 I flashed ended up boolt-looping. So I am using the stock with some pretty major tweaks. I am a DEV on other sites and once I jump through the hoops to be able to post in developer forums I will be posting my own ROM. OC is for people who don't know how to optimize. *cough*

Modaco custom ROM (currently version Jr13) is light, mostly stock, extra features that help me are- prerooted, enhanced power menu, tweaked youtube app for video preload, enhanced quick settings panel, comes with gapps etc.
Modaco cyanogenmod custom ROM (currently version r4) consumes more processing power, based on CM 10.1 so has all its features, prerooted, more enhanced power menu(with screenshot and extended desktop options), tweaked youtube, enhanced quick settings(devoid of vol control), comes with gapps, comes with cyanogenmod file manager etc.
MCR Jr13 and MCMCR r3 are interchangeable with dirty flash so I get to retain all my apps.
M-kernel (currently a33 version) gives me ample undervolting option (lp, cpu, gpu, ram), and I can set minimum brightness with rootdim, so I can extend my battery life.

Don't know why people make thread to ask others what's best rom, kernel... Answers will be different from users and depends what they prefers, so it'll be difficult to make a choice because every answers won't be the same. What I did when i wanted to choose was reading threads and try by myself to see what I liked. Sorry if my answer will not help you to choose but it's the best i can advise you. Hoping you find what best suits you.
Phone: GT-I9100P
Kernel: Dorimanx
ROM: 4.2.1 Vanilla RootBox
Tablet: Nexus 7
Kernel: M-Kernel
ROM: 4.2.1 AOKP PUB
MOD: JusTunBean
Xenon
Im usin Xenon HD its a 4.2 rom (aokp base) and it's very customizable for your likes. You should give it a try.:cyclops:
If you are doing any ROM other than stock, I suggest AOKP for sure. It has a ton of mods for your ui and allows a lot of customizing. Make sure you get 4.1.2 milestone version and get your gapps as well or you won't have necessary files. Hope this helps look in the aokp official thread for download

thanks to all...
all advices are really usefull to understand the mod world...
I was intent to install an AOKP rom, but I don't really understand the difference...
I would like to try the the paranoid but i think is AOSP...
for AOKP I don't know what rom to try...I see the Dirty AOKP but I'm not sure....
There's also one called smooth ROM check it out, you should search YouTube to see if you like it. personally I'm back to the to the 4.1.2 stock rom because on aokp it wasn't allowing me to install some APK's from the play store that i really wanted. it said they werent compatible with my device when I knew they were compatible with n7.. I wish there was a way around that but nobody on here would tell me if there was or not when i posted a thread asking... anyways hope you find what you are looking for and I do suggest checking YouTube first for custom Roms for nexus 7 before flashing over hella different ones it would take less time, peace and good luck!
