I see in the name of many ROMS the word mako .I tried to google it but didnt find anything... so could you tell me what mako mean?
Mako is a fish. All the nexus devices are called according to some kind of fish.

I think mako is just referring to the shark. It's just the name that this phone got. Just like the device that is manta (ray) and so forth.

It's a codename used by Google. Like all devices, prior to official release, they are given 'codenames' (nicknames). The actual name is thought out shortly before the product is publicly available.

Not entirely true. The Nexus One was code named "Passion."

Not possible. 4.2 and higher is/will be just completely incompatible with the nexus 7, no matter what. Google decided they didnt like the nexus 7 anymore

It has been proven, "facetious" and "satire" don't work on public forums.
Forums only activate the lowest 10 percent of available brain cells.
Only thing lower would be Yahoo news report reader comments.

The Question is Do you need Root Today.\?
You do not have to ask permission to root or not..With this being a nexus and knowing you made backups(well even if you did not) you can very easily go back to Stock or near stock.
I think google is going to skip the 42 update . They are may be afraid someone will have a heart attack caused by over excitment for the push of the file.. They will delay it to a less enthusiastic time...

If I understand right, the official device name for the Nexus 10 is "mantaray", but I don't think I've seen any developer ever refer to it as such, but instead just "manta". Any reason why?
I guess it really doesn't make a difference, but I can't think of any other device that had it's official name shortened.
It's an extra syllable, and we're all lazy?

Bump for more curiosity
I think that "manta" refers to the hardware, and "mantaray" refers to the software Google provides.
This would be similar to how "mako" refers to the Nexus 4 hardware, but "occam" refers to the Nexus 4 software.

Indeed. "mantaray" is the rom/branch name.
We all call it manta though.

Less flashing and rebooting.
MultiRom exists for quite a while in geenral:

Ubuntu corrupts my backups, so I can't easily switch between Ubuntu and android roms with out completely starting from scratch. Duel boot would solve this.

Well i agree with that accept maybe a functional LTE, but like i said i don't need it. Will probably wait to be the second tester
Anything is possible, but by time a Dev has taken the time to port it over it would be more trouble for them then its worth.

No, the developer preview does a device name check before it will install. If you tried it would give you an error about wrong device.
