I received the Nexus 7 in the mail, rooted it and such. But, now when I go to the roms on this forum all I see are roms that look exactly like roms for my Galaxy Nexus including (Phone) icons? Can anyone explain this? I mean, why would anyone want a rom that's built for their phone to be ran on a Tablet? That isn't 3G and all that magical stuff. Is the Nexus 7 having an identity crisis?

From what I can understand from this thread, you believe the nexus 7 has the exact same roms as the gnex? Are you in the right forum? There is a clear difference between the n7 and gnex(screen size) so if they have similar roms does it truly matter?

Ok, Your response didn't Answer anything. You just asked another question. Thanks for the attempt

Okay no need to be a jackass here buddy And what do you mean by an "identity crisis"? The nexus 7 is obviously a different a device than the GNex, and the GNex ROMs obviously not the same as the Nexus 7 ROMs by ANY MEANS. Open your eyes sir and scroll down a little bit in both the original development and development sections.

Let's all relax now. The screenshots used in the op of most ROMs are standard to that ROM on all devices. Its just a generic screenshot. Every ROM I have used is hybrid (or otherwise configurable)

Hi,
I believe zZDave_Stud had replied in an appropriate manner. There is a clear differece between the ROMS of both. I suggest you to have an in-depth research on it :fingers-crossed: , or refer to a post: www(dot)forums(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/186239-galaxy-nexus-owners.html - Not exactly what you are looking for

Ok buddy.. All I'm saying is if he took the time he used to make this thread to read stickies, root guides and the q&a section he would be more prepared to mess around with his device with less risk of breaking it.
There is enough good threads with good knowledge that if he spent time in looking would be fine

Guys Come On... he's a noob. Cut him some slack, even though must of us have common sense to do some homework (research) before posting questions like that doesn't mean we have to bully him. Hulk just do some more research and if you find a topic that you don't understand, then post stating what your not understanding.

no clue
no clue, you have no clues

BTW what's good for me not necessarily will be good for you too.

Welcome to the n7 forum, and boy what a welcome...... Unless you are comfortable with sending commands via adb use one of the root kits, they offer more than just rooting.
Not to many roms or mods to choose from, but everybody has that there on taste.
Like offers have said search and read, then ask in those threads if unsure.

When I just got my amaze 4G, I read and followed instructions and still messed up my phone.
Thanks to the member dark nightmare for ‘spoon feeding‘ me step by step and got my phone back to perfection.
That dude is awesome.

wow, what a messed up welcome. this IS the Q&A section. We all have been new, most of us has messed up, even following directions.
So, Did your N7 arrive yet?
CleanRom is one of my favorites when I feel like running a custom ROM. Im back to 4.2.1 at the moment.
I think WUG's toolkit is pretty easy for a beginner.
If you really want to play though, learn how to use adb. It may be a learning curve for some, but its really easy and fast.
Of course, search is always your friend, but most of us will still be here to help out if you need it!
Enjoy the Nexus, its a blast!

Patience people .he is a virgin !!!!
Welcome to xda Nexus 7 forum and (i guess ) Newbie Target practice Zone.
I think the biggest advice anyone can give you. Is something people do not often say. Before you flash unlock root or change one app on your device. Learn the STEPS TO GO BACK. Make all the necessary backups. Follow all instructions. But only after you understand what they are doing to your device. Read The forums about the different roms . Especially user responses and comments on the different roms.
Most of all Learn your device . Learn recoverys and basic fast-boot and adb..
Backup Backup and know how to use your backup...
NOT TO MENTION BACKUP
again welcome to the fourm and please Backup read re read.. then think before you flash.
Erica Renee ..:silly:

He's right. What's good for some may not be good for others. I'll suggest a few things. Keep in mind these are what I prefer:
Mskips Toolkit. I love it. User friendly and easy to navigate even if you're not familiar with rooting. Offers an all in one option (option 8) that unlocks the bootloader, roots, installs busy box, installs your choice of custom recovery, and will recommend the 3.34 boot loader instead of using the built in supplied by Google. 3.34 keeps root more reliably than others for some. Its compatible with all versions, it will buy you dinner, and kiss you goodnight.
Again, my preference but I've had nothing but success with Mskips work.

Tips for 32gb WiFi.

I have a 32gb WiFi nexus 7, I have been looking threw the different Roms. What's the best ROM for performance( gaming) and good features. What's a good kernel to use also?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Threads such as this get locked as soon as the mods get wind of them because there is no such thing as a best rom or kernel. It's like asking someone "what kind of food should be my favorite." No one but yourself can answer that question for you.
Want to know which will be best for you? Head on over to the device forums, read up on some of the offerings, and then take those that pique your interest for a test drive.

Hey, next time you're looking for something, try to do a google search for it. I googled "htc one font xda" and came across this thread. I've no idea if fonts are device-specific so be careful tweaking your phone. You will have some bad encounters with people here by just asking for something that can easily be searched for. Just saying . Also, you may want to delete your previous post over HERE.

Seriously Vicino? why dont you help the man instead of questioning it and making it more difficult than it has to be?, and not very many people were helpful on the other thread so he posted a new thread in hopes that the N4 community will be more helpful. Ease off guys, stop being so harsh and difficult. Not flaming anybody but its frustration seeing people who ask for help not get the help they need.

I think HTC one font is the same as sense 5 font, right?

[Q] What is the best rom/kernel for the nexus 4.

I will be getting a nexus 4 soon and I need a little advice on what rom/kernel combination is best. Battery really isn't an issue, focused on speed mainly. I like to game on Mobile alot and that is the reason why I would like help finding the perfect rom/kernel for this device. Just hoping for something to overclock cpu/gpu for best performance possible. All help will be thanked.

I really am looking forward to the nexus 5 experience rom but I've already heard it isn't that fast. Unless I heard wrong. If this rom will give good performance I definitely will get it.

Welcome to the Nexus 4 forum
There is no such thing as "best", here are some threads that ask the same thing:
Best overclock kernel??
[Q]AOSP Roms ... What is the best?
Both of them are two days old.

Thanks,
These questions are always subjective and the only one that knows what is "best" is you. Try a handful out and make your own decision.
