I've been on it from day one and all is good so far
You can read the other several threads in the General section to answer your question. FYI this is in the wrong section.
I think you can go ahead. i am already using this as my daily driver. And its quiet nice.
With my my day to day use i cannot tell that it is beta its already in a better state
I installed it within days of receiving my 6P. There are a couple bugs obviously. Some apps won't run but nothing too bad. Some display issues but overall I'm happy. Only thing I miss is root

Well may be. This is my first non-Samsung phone in a while. To prove it I am still not sure whether there is a fuse like Knox and the 6P. kind of scared to unlock and route due to the pain I had with the note 5 and not being able to use Samsung pay four Google pay … Or warranty I guess LOL

Yes, it is available
I ran it for about a day or so, and to be honest it was stable for the most part but sluggish in some areas and some of the apps I use regularly started crashing and such. But it's definitely something I looking forward to once it's fully released/stable

Hi there. I've had my Nexus 7 for 1 1/2 month and I want to get more out of it. I'm currently running stock 4.2.1. I'm a little nervous because this is my first tablet, although I'm running cm10 on my phone. Is rooting worth it or should I wait a while?:highfive:
haven't you already waited for a while?
I had mine for Christmas just make sure u have a suitable recovery eg clockwork mod and use the right tools there is tons like nexus 7 toolkit I used it is simple even for first timers plus Google make it solo easy. Do it then get stick mount and expand our memory.
PS many people say it affects performance.

Yeah I rooted mine right away, but honestly I should of waited, I've tried a lot custom ROMs out there and all of them had give me bad performance/battery life maybe it could be my nexus 7 its self or 4.2.1 but I feel that i should of just waited wait till the nexus 7 development community gets better, not to take away from any developer here!

i find no probs with using the stock rom plus CM10 seems to stay in a bootloop so did try that but reflashed back to stock ROM

I think it's about time you unlock the bootloader (beware: a data wipe is then imminent), and then root it and give it a taste of some lovely CM10.1!
I recently got an N7 myself and I thought the stock rom was snappy. Then I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, flashed latest CWM and flashed CM10.1 and it's amazing!
Got mine after boxing day before it was fully charged boot loader was unlocked and rooted. Am sticking to stock at the mo with bricked kernel

NEVER NEVER NEVER root your device.

I used the toolkit last night and it worked very good. Flashed cm10.1 and all but I didn't like it. Now i'm back on stock 4.2.1. Maybe i'll install a custom rom later on. Thanks for you're answer and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!:highfive:
Like the OP, I've already got a rooted phone (Nexus S 4G running CM10.1). But I've come to doubt the benefit of rooting/flashing. My wife's stock Nexus S seems to run better than mine. That said, she barely uses the thing and has installed maybe 5 apps in 18 months of ownership, so it's not apples to apples.
I got my Nexus 7 last week and I haven't encountered a compelling reason to root it yet. Since it's a Nexus, the bloatware argument is moot. I do wish I could install some Polytonic Greek fonts, but that's hardly a reason to void the warranty. So for me, it's staying stock (for now...)
I've had my nexus for about 3 months now and I don't think I'll be rooting it. I just want my tablet to work and not have to screw with flashing, updating, etc. I'll stick to that stuff on my sgs3. I play games on my nexus and don't want to have to worry about losing data. I know there are backup apps but it's still a hassle and I've had trouble before.

I rooted mine the same day I got it, you can always lock it back up if you need to but I have no regrets rooting ad away is reason enough to root in my book

Rooting and unlocking your device will not do any harm. I have rooted all of my devices and through the years never had a single problem. And if you are afraid you should know that any time you can relock the boot loader, unroot your phone and return back to stock so give it a shot

Hi everyone,
I posted a few months back whether I should buy a Nex 4 or not. Now that I did, I have another Q.
With my old Galaxy S, i HAD to root and install ROMs cuz it was reaaaally slow. Now, with the Nex 4, it's super fast that I'm not even thinking about ROMing it any time soon. However, I was wondering about rooting it. Does rooting affect the speed? it made my GS faster. Will it do the same for the Nexus?
Thanks.
Just rooting won't actually do anything but installing the right apps will. Of course if you overclock it it will get faster, but personally I underclock it to save battery. I'd say it is definitely worth rooting it. You never know you might feel like installing a ROM later so it can't hurt to root now. Basically everything rooting did to your GS it will do to your N4 but the nexus is already fast.

I'd suggest a kernel change at least. The stock kernel made my phone very hot sometimes and the battery life sucked.
Unlock bootloader, root, start modding and theming, or flash custom rom, have fun, and ignore all the idiot trolls here.

To each his own.
I rooted my Gnex the first day I got it. Although I plan on staying stock for awhile on the N4 since my favorite custom rom (CM) seems to be a bit glitchly atm.
What I did for an while was run stock-rooted for a bit. I turned ALL animations in Dev Options to .5 and my phone was flying! Quick to menus, opening and closing apps, and saving RAM. Battery life was great considering I'm a stickler when it comes to WiFi and Data toggled. Than I would run either PACman or Paranoid Android. Both were fluid experiences. But nothing beat Stock Rooted speeds.
It just matters what you're looking for. Try ROMs out, there's plenty of them out there! Good luck and happy rooting!

Mine is choppy (low frame rate) occasionally - it was more noticeable during the recent halloween event. Seems ok now since the thanksgiving update.
It does crash quite frequently though - maybe one out of every three or four sessions.
I play daily and it crashes at least once every time I play it. Used to have sgs4 I337 running gpe Roms and it wouldn't work at all. Warrantied a bad headset speaker and here I am. The new sgs4 AT&T sent me had a locked boot loader and no root android 4.3. I didn't want a galaxy phone so sold it for 400 bought the nexus 5.
Level 37 now. Same as zulugod stated was laggy with Halloween update, better now.

Been noticing some high usage from instagram sometimes after using it. Seems Google knows about it. 4.4.3 coming? It states nexus 5 but says also on other devices.

greenify!
hey.
it's not instagram for me, but I think it's snapchat / camera (or camera permission in general)
When I look at App Ops X (an app for controlling permissions), I see that the camera app/snapchat app are running the camera always. In this app, it'll usually give a time at which a permission was accessed (e.g. 50 minutes ago) or it'll say "Running" to indicate it's using it currently.
For me, it's always been at "Running" status (the camera permission for snapchat/camera) even though I greenified snapchat.
I hope that this issue is related to the issue nexus 5 users are experiencing and that the 4.4.3 fix will apply to this as well..
Well judging by the article its the same issue. I don't use snap chat so I wouldnt know. But yeah definitely a pain.

Ever since around January, I had a battery issue where the battery capacity of my nexus 4 just dropped. I hope that this camera issue was the cause of that.
However, 4.4.2 was released on Dec 9 and I must have updated around then as well.. So there is an unexplained period gap from Dec 10 - Jan 2 of why my battery was functioning normally then..

If you have root access, I'd suggest Dow loading Greenify from the Play Store. It hibernates the apps so that it doesn't use as much battery life.

You should try SD Maid app from Play Store and freeze Instagram unless you use it, and don't have to uninstall it. Or just simply kill the process from SD Maid.
There was a spot in my work building where text messages would get a -1 not sent error. With the m radio it works every time.
Flashed it last night. And it works better in my house than before.

Agreed. Same experience here, in low reception area in a box canyon in Oregon. Had 0 bars of service in house with VZW 5.1 radio; flashed M radio, and have 0.5-1 bars of 3G/LTE service now.
Keep those radio optimizations coming, Motorola!
So you guys are running 5.1.1 but with the M preview radios? I just got my N6 a week ago and the signal and battery life are terrible compared to my G3. Looking for solutions before giving up and sending this back to Motorola.

Different question... is there a way to backup JUST the current radio before flashing this, the same way you can with a kernel?
How did you guys get the m radio to work.. I tried flashing the one from that link and it said unknown under my baseband and had no service... I had to go back to 98
I'm on Verizon and flashed that m radio zip
I'm on the m bootloader as well. I tried the preview and skipped the bootloader and radio flash when I went bact to chroma. HD calling works fine as well

I flashed the M radio earlier today and so far I see a marked improvement. I'm no longer randomly losing my signal completely while at home. I also flashed a custom kernel and tweaked the color settings, so my screen looks much better as well. Let's hope my battery life improves as well. The need to charge in the middle of the day is quite annoying.

I downloaded Lean Kernel then an app to tweak the settings called Kernel Adiutor (the unusual spelling is on purpose). But any kernel adjusting app of your choice should work. Then I followed the info found in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59092146&postcount=3017
The screen's overly warm tones are cooler now. Plus the app I used has a high brightness mode that boosts the level up a bit, which is handy in bright sunlight.
