I was going to suggest the same solution. There must have been a change in 4.1 this thread shows the "email" option http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/33777/forgot-security-lock-pattern-on-jelly-bean-device-with-wifi-and-3g-data-turned-o
its not a lock screen pattern its a password and wifi is switched on

If the bootloader is locked, a factory reset is the penalty paid for forgetting lock screen tokens/swipes. (Especially if also the ROM installed is not rooted.)
ADB won't be an option with a 4.2.2 stock ROM - you can't connect without unlocking the screen first.
I suppose it is possible that there are market apps that run on first install & you can force them onto your tablet via the web presence of Google Play (e.g. Android Lost). This can be done as long as the tablet has Internet connectivity and valid Google creds. But I don't know if they have the capability to directly unlock the screen - but perhaps there is a way to gain a thread of execution.
Even from there it is a steep uphill climb (& next to impossible if the ROM is not already rooted).
Good luck.
@OP:
BTW, perhaps you noticed: you failed to mention whether the tablet was either
(a) rooted or
(b) has a locked/unlocked bootloader.
Those are pretty important details.

Factory reset time for you. (Unless you possess a heretofore undisclosed rooting method that can be injected via an unprivileged, network-reachable thread of execution which is launched (run on install) from the Android Play market.)

I somehow don't feel the need to see an extra pane showing me labels and all. On top of that I think it's killing the precious space. I just like the plain jane look with just the email list or the email details.
Is there a way to turn off the panels ? I would want to get the same look as what I had in my NOTE.
Can't believe that no one replied here.

Its because of the phablet UI, the app is the same on both devices so sideloading won't do a thing

Sideloading will not work. The version on my Nook is not compatible with the Nexus. Also... on the Nexus Gmail is a system app.

Flash Paranoidandroid. You can change whether it shows in phone mode or tablet mode.
What do I need to enable to stop the 4.2 update constantly asking me to upgrade now or later? Usually you can just have the option to skip it no?
I know my phone won't ask unless I search under software updates.
This one pops up on the constant and happy with 4.1.2. Not feeling the terrible reviews on 4.2 so just want to skip it for now or till a more stable one comes out.
appreciate any help.

[INFO] Stop OTA update nagging
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The suggestions in the reply above are the best but they all require a rooted Nexus. Until you root your tablet try on Google Services Framework in Settings - Apps - All column:
1. Disable Notifications - fewer update reminders.
2. Clear Data - forgets an update is ready but may just re-download one.
3. Disable GSF - stops reminders but breaks Google Play Store and others.
I use number 3 as JB 4.1.2 works perfectly.
I have got similar prob but I am on 4.2. hoping this will work.

You can long press the notification and go to app info and uncheck the show notification box as well.

Thanks for the replies guys. Really don't understand why its setup this way. Wish it was like my S3.
Not really wanting to root this yet, but if the above don't work, may have too.

Hi,
My Nexus 7 was stolen or lost yesterday. I have no security app installed but I have the lock screen activated.
Can I locate it?
What should I do?
Kind regards

Be more careful with your things?

Sorry mate, without anything already installed I think you're out of luck

Search the forum. Looks like there is a way if it, by the force of nature, connect by itself to an open wifi. You can let a app already queueu to download. I guess there is some security app that dont need your intervention on tablet. I guess.
Good look.

Download plan b from the play store.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I have looked into Plan B and pushing it to install. But it can only install if the device connects via WiFi, and I don't see how it can connect to any WiFi unless it comes back to my house....
ok, long story short...adb is showing device but its offline.
i have a Rezound, Galaxy Nexus, and Droid DNA and adb works fine. I've tried different cables and different usb ports.
Weird part...........
if I reboot into bootloader, fastboot works fine. and if Im in recovery,adb works fine.
See picture.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
AW: adb not working properly
It's a new security feature and there are already several threads about that topic. Normally on your tablet a popup message should be shown asking you whether you want to allow your PC to access.

i got it! i'm not even sure what I did but the damn message finally came up.
i think the trick is....even if your ADB is in your PATH...you gotta cd/sdk/platform-tools and then use ./adb instead of just adb

I'm at a peculiar requirement that my tablet should look like an unrooted device for installation of email client called Mobile Iron.
Ive rooted my Nexus 7 and enjoing lot of super user advantages and i don't wanna unroot it but i need to fake that email client that my device is not rooted.
Is there a way? Thanks in advance!!
SuperSU has a temporary unroot function.

Hi Ashok,
There is a app called Voodoo OTA Root Keeper. This app temporarily unroots your device however it keeps a back-up of your root. When you are done press the button and it restores root access in literally less that 2 seconds. This is mainly used while receiving a OTA update but I think it is applicable to this situation.
Hope this helped.

Does anyone know of any other app that can do this on Android 4.3?
I use 'root enabler'
