Is anyone else pretty gosh-darned excited about Android L for the Kindle Fire? I love mine to death as an OtterX with KitKat... but the battery life could use a little bit of an extra boost. If Android-L is as great as it seems... then it should work just fine on the Kindle Fire and extend its life even further!
(I know, this is just general rambling... but hey... that's why its in the "general" thread!
Love it on my nexus 5

Hey guys I just got my second nexus 7 (dropped/shattered my first one) and I have been away from the forum since.
I just wondered what everyone thought as far as which ROM and kernel was best for daily use.
Honestly the most important feature for me in a ROM is the kill app feature (aokp or long press back).
As for a kernel, im looking for a well balanced performance/ battery life.
Thanks guys for your input.

If you know that already why did you start this thread?

I like Team EOS's nightlies. I'm using faux's latest beta kernel too with the new CPU driver. Can't comment on battery life personally (although faux's new kernel has reports of better battery life), but performance is quite nice.
May or may not be the best combination though, it's just what I'm using now.
I'm a big fan of Paranoid Android. It allows you to choose between phone, tablet, or phablet mode for every app. Also, it allows you to choose between small tablet, large tablet, phablet, and phone workspace.

That said, I definitely agree with ÜBER.

These threads always turn into bickering fests and drama which is never good. Nothing against you OP but I have to close this one as nothing good ever comes of them unfortunately...
Just search around and read all the threads and its pretty easy to get an idea of whats best or used by the majority.
Alright so to start off I am looking to buy a tablet for my dad for Christmas and have been to a couple stores looking at various tablets and must say I am not to impressed with screen responsiveness on TW. Pinch to show screen previews lags a good amount on tab 2 and note 2 from what I saw. The smoothness overall just left something to be desired. My question is would I be better off getting a nexus 7 and tossing on a custom ROM or getting the nexus 10 and keeping stock. I realize I could put a ROM on nexus 10 without problem, but I would rather not risk breaking a $400 gift. The nexus 7 at only $200 and being developed for a year means I will certainly mess with it. Sorry to ramble. So in your opinion would it be better to get a nexus 7 with a custom ROM or nexus 10 that will stay stock. Thanks for your time

well it depends the nexus 7 is more portable and cheaper then the nexus 10 but the nexus 10 does have better specs but the nexus 7 is more than enough for most people so i'd get the nexus 7 and flash a rom like paranoid android onto it and just give him that but its your choice
Do you notice any lag or poor response times with the custom ROMs? Tw is horrible imo, but throwing on a 3rd party launcher should cut down considerably on the lag

Holo Launcher HD comes highly recommend, free from Google Play the pro version doesn't cost much either
How is the multi-tasking etc ? gaming ?
And seriously is 1gb of ram good enough ?
I find it great at both of those even better if you flash a custom kernel but stock is still amazing at both, this is definitely the best 7 inch tablet you can get but if your looking for a big 10 inch takes and have money to spend I'd try the Nexus 10 as it also looks very promising

Is there really a need for another post/thread like this? Use the search button its what it is there for.
From my Nexus 7
This is the best tablet on 7inch display multi tasking is no trouble and being able to swap back and forth from app to app in a flash is great. Performance all round is smooth and very pleasing. Games run quick and the size of the tablet makes playing all games so much easier. If u are thinking of buying one dnt think just do it. this thing holds no disappointment to anything it dose.

Just don't update ota to 4.2.1, lots of performance problems as reported here on the forum.

Try using a Tegra 2 tablet for a day then pick up a Nexus 7. Big difference, bigger than I expected. I have a TF101 and N7 both running 1280x800 resolution so that's not a factor. It could be that the TF101 is on 4.0.1 and my N7 is on 4.2.1. It drives me crazy to use my TF101 now.
I'm running 4.2.1 OTA, bone stock (for now) and am not seeing any problems, performance or otherwise.
Hello Everyone, I just bought my Nexus 7 about a week ago. I was wondering what kind of apps programs would greatly benefit the Nexus 7. What kind of apps to you guys suggest to use? Are there any apps that you guys find vital to the nexus 7? Also I am running android 4.2.1 and the camera asp that gives me the stock camera back isn't working too efficiently (nexus 7 camera fix app from play store) I get a lot of lag from this. Anyone know why? PS I haven't rooted it yet.

People are not replying because the answer to all your questions can be found right here in the n7 forums. They have all been covered extensively, and if you searched for them, you would already be fixed up. Waiting for people to answer them for you will actually take much, much longer than just searching and reading. Not trying to be rude, but everyday, there are two more post with the exact same questions, and none of them take the time to read the other.

Buying a Nexus 4 after sticking with the Samsung Vibrant for so long. Anything I should know about the Nexus before making this upgrade?
You should be the one telling us what you want to know, hehe.
Get the 16gb variant as it doesn't have a micro SD slot and I find 8gb is not sufficient.

Sometimes the battery life SUXX
Today i got 2h 40m screen on time with some 3G and some Wi-Fi.
On wi-fi only i get 5hours max with custom kernel, under-clock to 1.2ghz and under-voltage.
Just get the Nexus 5. The N4 is almost 2 years old.
No SD card slot, its pure android; don't expect fancy ui design. Not a lot of customization like touchwiz or sense; its simple.

Wait really? This is making me very hesitant, as I already hate my battery life. Is this with a ROM or stock?

Stock rom 4.4.2, Xposed module and franco kernel r204
If you don't want to get a cover I recommend getting a screen protector for the front and back. This phone is awfully slippery.
I personally have great battery life from my Nexus 4. Stock, Xposed and Franco just like the previous poster. Had a vibrant long ago. If you're upgrading, you will be very happy. Of course, price would be the only reason to take a Nexus 4 over the 5, but you won't be disappointed with either.

The Sound on N4 is really bad for me, really quiet so first thing to do is to install a sound mod and enjoy

Audio mods is a must for N4. And for battery life it isn't perfect, but still pretty good. I've usually get 3 days with 2.5 SoT (moderate usage).
Just sharing my thoughts between Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus... I'll still prefer the battery life and screen of the Nexus 4..... But the fact that my Nexus 4 had approximity sensor is really unnerving sometimes.
