I recently purchased the nexus 7 and I'm debating whether or not to root and ROM it. I want to know what the advantages are. The reason I'm asking is because I rooted and ROMed my phone because I didn't want to wait for updates from HTC. With the nexus the updates come straight from Google so that need flies out the window. Any replies are greatly appreciated.

Reasons for me:
1-xposed framework: ability to customize stock rom and enhance its abilities.
2-greenify: to hibernate battery eating apps when not using them like facobook.

Put it this way. There is no reason not to root it. You will find the advantages yourself.

Can anyone recommend a SMS text option app or service that might be on the 7 already I'm missing. Tired of doing the tiny brain thing switching back and forth with the phone. Thanks!

? Tablet Talk?
I use Google voice and I have it on the phone too so everything syncs nicely

Hi,
Is there anyway i can root my Nexus 7 without a PC. I only want to root it so I can install an app I saw that will block/remove ads but it requires root access and at the moment I have no access to a PC/Laptop.
Thanks,
Mat

Was meant to say I won't be installing custom roms or anything only want to remove ads so don't need anything complex.
Cheers!

Small-apps would be great or multi-window if small-apps can't be ported
I believe there is a way to do it but you need to be rooted I think. I saw it just the other day when browsing the play store, but can't find it now.
I am new to all of this rooting and flashing stuff, and I am afraid to do this on my own. I don't really have a lot of money to replace my Nexus 7 if I screw up. Has anyone used this app? Does it work? Any suggestions?

I wouldn't use it. I would just search the forum and learn to do stuff on your own.

Fastboot is the best way to get it done. It will also help avoid problems in the future. Once you know fastboot, there is very little you cant fix with relative ease.
