Think I might order one of these for $15 just to have around:

It may squeeze between a stretchy case and the back of the tablet. Would like to find a OTG cable that has a Y for charging but I haven't seen one yet. I also just found another possible strike for the Nexus 7:

Seems like they tried to really lock down the memory and restrict the device to streaming. Sounds a lot like an apple thing to do, I mean seriously at this point apple starts sounding competitive again since Android really isn't nearly as plush or refined.

I dunno, my cousin has the TF300 and its nice. I had the original TF100 and loved it. I went with the N7 because of the processor upgrade and 7" form factor. I haven't heard many complaints with the TF300 or newer. The prime seemed to have issues but it was their first tegra3.

It's about 13.4 GB free with the 16 GB model. And maybe yours is just a defective unit. I'm getting 60fps and I don't have light bleed or dead pixels.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hax0red:
I have seen 3 with the problem so far. One custom rom(mine) and two stock roms. All have similar FPS and problems with screen. Light bleed is on everything IMO so yours having none is impossible. The dead pixels aren't dead so much as stuck during certain colors. You need to use a dead pixel tester to really notice, trust me it's there. Edit: seems the bleeding is very common. http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...k-your-nexus-7-tablet-backlight-bleeding.html
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iElvis:
LOL, you've seen three with light bleed, so it's impossible for anyone not to have it?

I ran through the tests in that post and found no issues at all.

Would love to see something like this, at the moment I'm just relying on a 32GB Cruzer Fit drive. Pretty compact for the size.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] hax0red:
All LED backlit devices have light bleed to the point you can see with brightness turned all the way up then look in the corners. I haven't had a LED back lit display on a phone, tablet or TV that didn't have some. Albeit, it's minimal on most phones these days tablets are big enough to display it clearly like "most" nexus 7's, maybe you have a freak. But how do we conclude? I would average out the results and by that point most will agree the nexus 7 has terrible light bleed. Excluding yours of course.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Jdely31:
Would love to see a case like this too.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] veeman:
Well, I don't have any stuck or dead pixels but you're right. When I look closely there is a tiny bit of light bleed. Not really noticeable though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] usurpine:
Is it somehow possible to "add" this part inside the original case ? Then wire it and glue it ?

I know the more practical solution is a otg cable and and usb stick or adapter but why not pimping the nexus directly.

I would add a

And while the case is already open i am thinking to add what is inside this:

Just i am not sure if it will work and where exactly there is place inside the case and how to wire it. Just an idea how it might work. Any thoughts ?

Hi guys

I'm waiting for my N7 to arrive in store for collection, and wondering what the reasons are for rooting the device?

I assume to run different kernels, but what other advantages are there?

Also, how does rooting this affect warranties?

Thanks

Imagine you're tablet as a car. It has 6 gears but you can only use 5. Rooting gives you that 6th gear.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
To be honest, there is no vital reason to root. Now, I myself am rooted. But unless you "need" external storage(flash drives etc) then you will not notice much difference in the device. However it will be better on battery life and performance. And have a few minor bells and whistles that otherwise it would not. That's about it really. It DOES void your warranty, 100%. However, it's easily reversible so in theory no one would ever know that you did it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hysteresis:
Is it possible to root the device but leave the stock rom in place?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
Yes, you can. I do it to freeze apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the only reason to root is to have total, complete control over your device. you're the boss, you do what you want want it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
That is a ridiculous statement. Void your warranty solely to *be the boss*? Why not shove your kitten into the microwave just because "You are the boss" as well. It doesn't matter if you are the *boss* of your electronic devices. Don't be a dumbass lol. Root only if you need features that you can't otherwise get, or leave your warranty in tact!!!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off, do you realize that you can relock your bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" on any nexus device? warranty replacements arent an issue for a nexus. secondly, do you realize that "root only if you need features that you cant otherwise get" fits into the category of being the boss of your device? do you know what root is? root, by definition, IS being the boss of your device, having total control. now whos the dumbass, dumbass.

not everyone know linux lol
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfic:
What's Linux got to do with that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
I know that you can unroot, but if you damage your phone in such a way that it couldn't have been caused without root access(such as fry something via messing with voltages, overclocking, etc) google will not replace it. They inspect every device RMAd to them. Hell for all we know they will begin looking at Google Play Store app purchases tomorrow to determine rooters. "Oh you bought Titanium Backup? Your warranty is void!". There is simply no way to be certain your will be covered when you need to be unless you don't root. Now as I said, I am rooted. But that's because I need to be. But i fully understand there is a chance, however small, that I will premanently lose my device and never get it back because of it. It is still a bit of a risk, and not worth it unless there is a feature you need that requires root.

Your statement above was, and I quote:

...and I stand by my statement that your statement is pretty retarded. This is my opinion of your statement, which I am entitled too, and which you cannot disprove as it is an opinion therefore further discussion in this thread on this subject is pointless.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfic:
You quote him saying to root is to have control, and say that it's retarded, then you go on to say you are rooted, that you need to be.

What exactly does that make you, by your own definition?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
probably the second most stupid post i've seen on XDA in my time being here.

Anyways root does not = overclocking. Besides the fact that the device has a handy feature which throttles the CPU if it gets too hot, most likely your warranty will be void due to expiration before it will be damaged by any overclocking.

Google or asus would not include the fastboot command "fastboot oem-unlock" if it would void anyones warranty for doing so. If i had the screen lift issue many have had, that is a manufacturer defect, and rooting or unlocking my device i own did not cause it. If I RMA'd it with an unlocked bootloader, google or asus would not say "oh sorry about the screen lift, but your bootloader is unlocked so we cant help you"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieso:
"To root or not to root?". That is the question. Hey whether Joe thinks rooting is stupid or Schmoe thinks everyone should.....who gives a ****! That's enough already with the kiddish bickering. Me personally, I haven't rooted yet but gave it long thought and I will for one main reason. So I can back everything up. I ran unrooted and locked for a month, filled my tablet up till there was only 500meg left and it began to run slow, soft reboot, and corrupt a couple games. I was pissed because I was almost finished with the dark knight rises and it totally crapped on me so I had to do a factory reset. This is my opinion only so stay unrooted or rooted and iwont argue with you in anyway

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Just saying, it does 'break' warranty temporaily. If you flash back the stock rom and re-lock de Bootloader, welcome back your warrantty.

Like he said, rooting allow you to run things as 'root' as a higher privilege then Admin. Some application on the Store require root. Not ****ty apps, just take Cerberus as an exemple, the well known Anti-thief, it has more functionnality if you're rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevd:
Lol.

A rooting discussion that's descended into chaos, I don't think the act of bootloader unlocking voids your warranty per se. It's very much a gray area, however, for instance If I had an hardware failure of some sort while running a stock rom with an unlocked bootloader I'd expect that to be covered by the warranty. Also from what I understand, and I can't say I took time out from my busy schedule to read any of the EULA's :laugh: Isn't there a separate warranty for Hardware and Software? INAL though so I could be full of it

Personally and I'm afraid with a question like reason to root, all your going to get is opinion. Bootloader unlocking is the first thing I do with a nexus device if for no other reason than the fact it deletes all your data so doing it early saves messing around with backups should you need the features this provides in the future. Then again I also never rely on warranties and prefer to take devices apart and repair it my self anyway, it's not for everyone but I can highly recommend it.

Lets also be clear here, rooting is not the same as bootloader unlocking. I'm sure these plenty of privilege escalation exploits for the 3.10 kernel out there that will give you root access without unlocking your bootloader and conversely you can quite happily run bootloader unlocked without having a "superuser" application installed.

@Shano56 ; What's up! , what's the first most stupid post you've ever read on XDA? :laugh:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James-NC:
I rooted to use stickmount for more storage options.

I don't care about tweaking anything or running a different rom everyday as I am very happy with the stock jelly bean ui.If an sd card slot had been provided or an option for a 32 or 64gb tablet I would have never considered rooting because I would have upgraded when I purchased.

Everyone wants or likes something different so it is good the N7 is so easy to root.I just wanted more storage so needed to go that route.

I su/sudo my home computer everyday without thinking twice, it's not as if it would **** everything up by default, do you think long and hard before running applications as administrator in windows to? :)

So if you're thinking of installing su/rooting the phone, just go ahead, whatever, it's nice to have the option, it will not break your tablet ;)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superm1:
For me the biggest reason to root was to transfer save game data from my phone to my N7. I've got tons of games that i've wasted hours setting high scores and progressing through that I would hate to lose that status.

I just set up Datasync on the phone, rooted N7, set up datasync on the tablet and synced all the data for installed apps over wifi.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentb636:
No, if your Nexus 7 is corrupted, for example, you may not be able to unroot, and you will not be able to get warranty service, IF THEY can detect the root access. You CAN unroot, assuming everything is fine with your device ( but then, of course, you don't need service) . :) My advice is to use the tablet as stock until you're confident that you won't have to return it right away with infant mortality issues. After a period of time, if you find a reason to root, go right ahead.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duvuk:
Thanks for all the opinions. I might look to unlock the bootloader only, then I've got the option to root at a later time, at least I don't have to worry about losing my data say a year down the line
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquireSCA:
I root so that I can clean up bloat and use custom Roms. That said, I have yet to find a rom that runs as well as the stock one.

Tried a bunch, but they all have glitches and the tablet started running sluggish, and a nandroid didn't fix it. So I did a full image restore to stock, and for some reason I cannot achieve root again. But I don't know that I need it really.

Tablet is the unlocked with the latest all in one toolkit, cmw is installed and working fine, busy box and superuser are installed, but I do not have root. Weird.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
Just in case any of you are making assumptions(and thus asses of yourselves) about googles attitude towards rooting like this guy, read below. Or call them yourselves, as I did.

Well it may be that you are gonna be ok, but I called Google a few weeks ago and specifically asked them about this, and they told me that they inspect every unit that is RMAd and that one of the things they check is to see if it is rooted. If it is, your warranty is gone. His exact words. Maybe the guy will take pity on you that does the inspection, and see that root didn't cause the screen lift, and stamp "APPROVED" on there. Or you might be screwed.

Way to not understand anything I said, at all. I suggest reading everything twice form now on, more slowly so that you may have a chance at understanding. I said it was retarded to root solely to get control and *be the boss*. I also specifically said that it was a good thing to root if you found yourself needing features that required root. I never said, implied or even hinted that only a retard rooted. I will now say emphatically however that only retards read entire posts and then totally fail to understand anything said in them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralCrocket:
Lol.

Google releases factory images for Nexuses, thus allowing you to restore it to stock easily. You can lock your bootloader again. It's like nothing ever happened.

I unlocked, rooted, and flashed a few ROMs yesterday. I went back to stock using the factory image. Now, only my bootloader is unlocked. That can be locked with just a few simple steps.

It's like it never happened. But, obviously, you don't know that. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfic:
I understand, that you use as many words as possible to obfuscate that your actions are nothing but you splitting hairs, over which way it can be said that rooting can be useful, if you want to take control of any aspect of your device that can't be controlled otherwise, for the sole reason to inflate your narcissistic selfimportance.
