Hi Guys.
My friend gave me his Nexus 7 2012 tablet because it's lagging and is slow on 5.1.1.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good stable ROM for me to flash on his tablet.
I don't want to keep updating the ROM so it should be a one time flash because I will give it back to him.
Is 6.0 running good on it's older hardware?
Please let me know your experiences.
Thanks

My older Nexus 7 runs fine on Marshmallow. Of course it isn't as fast as my 2013 model which is now on 6.0.1 like my Nexus 5 smartphone.

Just wipe the tablet and it will be fast enough.

Don't take this offensively... But I want to ask people who don't root their Nexus 7, why don't you? It seems like people who aren't rooted are running into problems more than the people who are rooted.

Even though I have all my phone rooted I never considered rooting the tablet. It runs stable enough, is a nexus device so will be updated to the latest android version which the hardware supports and most importantly Sky Go doesn't work reliably on rooted devices

My example of the tablet not running reliably is the EMMC slow down because fstrim wasn't enabled until 4.3 by default. While rooted, you had the option of manually running fstrim or using an app to do it. Though Sky Go seems like a reason I'd stay away from rooting. Some apps even bar you from using them. I'd probably using OTA Root Keeper and temporarily disable root.

I've never really experienced any slowdown, but strangely enough I was watching an xda video this morning about something related. I have tried OTA Root Keeper and similar apps and Sky Go seemed to detect them. Only way I found to do it was to as you say temp unroot, uninstall super user app etc. Found it too much of a pain.
If I did start experiencing issues like slowdowns etc, I wouldn't hesitate to root. One thing I am missing is per app DPI settings from PA.

Nandroid your stock setup, and go back to PA buddy lol. I'm sure there's a way around Sky Go and someone else has had the same problem.

Edit : may not work if you are on 4.3 unfortunately.

I did actually use this and it did work on 4.2.2
Only problem is you have to re-authenticate all your root apps. Not a big issue, I suggested to the author that before uninstalling the root app it backed up the data then restored it on reinstalling.

What about using multi-ROM to dual boot a rooted ROM and a bone stock ROM? It would be the best of both worlds and you'd only need a simple reboot to switch back and forth.

also, what are the differences apart from the compilation number?
JWR66V is the main.
JWR66V is full of bugs but JSS15J is much better, stable and got better GPU speeds within the kernel but the reason it was not released for the Nexus 4 is because it was suppose to be for the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 7 itself has that update anyway.

I have JW installed, can i install normally a JS rom as a zip? Will the last baseband work with it?

Yep, unfortunately if you want fully stock then that is not really an option but you can look in the development forums for the perfect one for you, there is literally more then 1 available.

Hi everyone. My mom's s4 won't update. I think it's because we're outside of the US. The phone it's unlocked. Do I need to update to every firmware until I reach the desired version? Or I can just put the 4.4.2 OTA on the sdcard and update?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You can just Odin to the latest version. I doubt your mom does rooting or custom roms but that will be severely limited after the update.

Just root the phone not many people are on MDL, I for one am and all I did was root my S4. Take advantage of the fact bootloader is unlocked trust me.

There's people who would die to have a phone on mdl. But I'm sure it's not your mom. If you want the latest firmware see the second post of the attached and flash it with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50667360

Lol. Thanks I appreciate that. Getting off topic but as an ex s4 owner I recommend those people to migrate to a nexus 5 or wait until nexus 6 come out. It's a really awesome phone imho.

Just got my S5 g900f! It's on 5.0, I want to load CM. Should I leave on 5.0 or upgrade to 6.0.1? Does it make difference?

Why would you not just go to Nougat?
CM 14 is out? Or did you mean stock Samsung TW?

Not yet. Still unofficial builds for now.
As for 5.0 vs. 6.0, 6.0 is definitely the better stock ROM choice for battery life and overall smoothness.
CM13 has some battery drain issues in the latest builds.

CM14.1 works great for me. No problem with BT or anything else.
Thanks so Sounds like upgrade to 6.0 prior to installing CM?

Yes.
Always best to upgrade the bootloader to the latest before flashing any custom ROM.

Thanks all for the help. Rooted it, installed TWRP, then installed CM13 and gapps. So far do great. Everything seems very smooth. This is still a capable phone isn't it?

Install TWRP and then get a new kenel for your device and Android version. Most community kernels work better Googles

Unfortunately I don't have the device yay have I have the older generation. But paranoid android 5.1.1 and Franco's kernel, those give a nice lollipop experience or you can go paranoid with 6.0 but I don't know if Franco updated his kernel for your device.
