Hello all,
I'm on the forum for a long time, now, in the beginning in the HTC Desire forum, then on the HTC Sensation and now here.
I just bought from a friend an used Nexus 7 3G (Tilapia) tablet, which I really like.
I realized too late that the 3G model has far less developmnent activity with regards the Wifi only model, probably due to its far less distribution.
Now, I rooted my tablet and installed CM11, but I'm not completely satisfied.
What I'd like to have is a Kernel with the possibility to overclock the tablet, but I can't find any for the Tilapia.
Moreover, the available ROMs are not too much, and all based on CM11.
So, my questions:
1. Is there a stable Kernel I can use with CM11 (Kitkat 4.4.2) with which I can overclock the tablet?
2. What would happen if I install a Kernel + ROM designed for the Grouper model on my Tilapia? Would it work (with the exception of 3G, of course)?
In other words, is the hardware the same on Grouper and Tilapia, so I can use the saem ROMs and/or Kernels?
Thank you in advance.
Ciao,
Giovanni

V1.4 is what your looking for. Unsure if it will work on the tilapia though, if you wanna try it make a backup prior. If you bootloop/hang at boot hold vol down and power that will get you back to bootloader where you can access recovery

How did that work out for you?

Hello,
At the end I installed SlimKAT ROM, which is very slim (pune intended) and fast, together with the Faux Kernel.
I'm running the "Ultimate" version of the Kernel, running the processor to 1.7 Ghz (actually, 1.6Ghz): I cound't be happier!
Ciao,

So I've had my Nexus 7 for awhile now and wanted to getting everyones opinion on how they run their Nexus. What rom do you run if you run one or why do you choose to run it stock? I am currently running a simple TabletUI.zip. Give me you thoughts and opinions.
In still running it in stock because it's good enough for me atm x). I don't need tablet ui or something else. Opened bootloader and rooted.

I am very much into custom roms for my Sprint G'Nex but for the Nexus 7 I run stock. I do have it unlocked and rooted just in case but as of right now, for what I use it for, stock JB is great.
i started with rooting and tried the franco kernel.
Someday i just tried a custom rom. Not for any reason, just trying and playing around a little bit.
Thats mainly it.
I do it, because i can
Stock is good, but Paranoid Android is REALLY good, and the tweaks it has are probably much better than the TabletUI.zip. I just saw a ROM called "Cookies and Cream" that is based off of Paranoid Android and Codename Android, so that one's probably worth checking out too.
after 4.2.1, i cant find a kernel that will work with stock rom that allows overclocking?
Motley
I really like Metallice's motley kernel, located in nexus 7 android developemnet.
Edit: Click my Sig pic for a link
trinity kernel works fine too
I'm loving the trinity kernel myself! It is blazing fast at 1.7Ghz. (gets a little warm but other than that it is just awesome) No issues so far using stock 4.2.1 ROM
Stock ROM, as in not rooted? If you are running a custom 'stock' ROM, as in you flashed it to your device than any number of good kernels will do what you want.
But at a minimum you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed.

I'm coming from using a Nexus S for two years where I did a lot of ROM and kernel flashing. So far, the N4 has been solid and I haven't found a reason to root it or flash a new ROM yet. For those who have rooted and flashed a custom rom, what are your thoughts? Any notable improvements over the stock rom/kernel?
I asked this question here as well.
Pro's of rooting; adaway, better toggles, aosp browser. (watch paranoid android for buttonless navigation)
Cons of rooting; less social life due to flashing things constantly.

I have had also used nexus s for 2 yrs,its a small phone compared to this I remember friends telling me nexus s is a big phone. I am also proud owner of nexus 4 for 2 weeks
My nexus 4 is rooted, before arrived I had all setup on my PC all the drivers, adb, clockwork, it was rooted before I opened the box
Its rooted mainly because of ads, i hate ads, and firewall, and titanium backup, few network tools...
I had flux kernel to try changing colors.
I have stock kernel and rom now and planing to flash AOKP JB4.2 v2 when it comes out.
I would root install a kernel of your choice to get better battery life. I'm on PA with Franco r31 and get over 4 hour of screen time. O. Stock , my screen time was under 3 hours

Go for it. If you like stock ROM then just flash kernel since franco and others have patch the wake lock bug that was killing battery life. I wouldn't go for a few custom ROM out there since it is unstable and could be unpleasant to use. Those ROMs are usually the ones with Linaro optimizations. If you want stock experience with customization, then try AOKP. I'm very impressed with AOKP so far.
Just got my phone and already rooted and have the franco kernel installed. I've been reading up a little on how to permanently enable LTE and it seems like running baseband .33 on stock causes audio issues on the phone.
Basically I'm just looking for a stable, fast ROM with good battery life. I don't need anything fancy, but in the end I'd like to enable LTE permanently. Any recommendations?
You don't need a rom to enable LTE.
Flash this files to enable the in call audio and enables LTE by adding some build.prop tweaks.

Carbon Rom
Well you dont need a rom for permanent LTE if you already have a .33 radio you can just do a few tweaks and there. If you dont have a .33 radio you can flash one, im sure theres another thread on flashing a .33 radio and setting permanent LTE. But if you wanna try a good rom my favorite and everyday rom is Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 you can try the nightlies but for a more stable OS I recomend the newest release which is Rc4. And try the matrix 8.5 kernel adds an amazing battery life and better performance.

Well, if you still want a custom rom (given that you can enable LTE without one) then I've been using Slimbean on my Nexus 4, it's quite close to stock but has a lot of useful extra customisations available.
Best ROM / ROM recommendations are strictly prohibited, do your own research.

Hey everyone, I've been away for a very long time from this device (and forum obviously), I need some help catching up. My device is currently running rastapop rom (5.0.1) with CWM 6.0.4.7. I want to renew my device with a clean, latest and stablest rom, I dont care about features or Android version. Can anyone recommend me a good, solid rom, and provide some details regarding the installation? (e.g should I update bootloader or CWM?)
Many thanks in advance.
I found that the latest stock 5.1.1 on a nexus 4 is very stable without any issues.
Latest build of purenexus rom is awesome.
I had been away from this phone for a while as well and I have to agree the latest Pure Nexus is butter(first I updated to the latest official 5.1.1 to get the latest partition updates.). Better than average battery life, super stable. I've yet to have a single reboot or any other unpleasantness.

The first thing you should do is to flash the latest twrp recovery, CWM is not maintained anymore for the nexus 4.
