Puffin Browser is fast because it's cloud-accelerated. I have it as a backup browser but I wouldn't use it as a primary browser. It doesn't allow you to download anything through the browser.

Also it seems the Puffin browser free version offers Flash support on a trail basis for only two weeks after which one need to pay $2.99 for extended flash support on this browser

Hi all I'm Marco from Italy! This is my first post and i'm afrad it's a sad one...

I've flashed Rocketrom V2 and it was working, then i've flashed HydraCore v7 OC, it has updated all the apps but it did'nt go past this operation.

So i've flashed HydraCore v7 No OC. now it stands stuck at bootlogo and it won't go on CWM or Dowload mode...

I've done every passage using a safe Kernel with MMC_CAP_ERASE removed.

Don't know what to think.

Please help! thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] dman65:
I have been reading some of the items about people modifying ROMS, porting ROMS, etc. and I am not certain if I have all of the terminology correct. I am wondering if there is some type of architecture definition or diagram that would indicate the different parts of a ROM.

I found one web post that broke items down to kernel, libraries, bootloader, recovery, radio, framework, core, android runtime. What I don't know is what kind of correlation there is between a framework and runtime to a kernel. Is this a situation like Linux where you have a kernel with all of its drivers and you would run the Android GUI on top of that and any version of the Android GUI is going to work with pretty much any kernel, or is there some type of match-up between a kernel and specific versions of Android?

I have an Elocity A7+ which uses a Tegra II 1ghz dual core CPU. It was only built with Android 2.2. It seems like this tablet should be able to run ICS fairly well since I have seen a number of single core tablets running it. The manufacturer made the kernel source available for this tablet, but what I don't understand is if it is possible to build the ICS framework and runtime with this kernel.

Without detailed information it would seem to me that the kernel is taking care of interfacing directly with items like the touch screen, the camera, the audio system, the buttons, the wi-fi, etc. Do requirements for kernel interfaces change from android version to android version or can an ICS framework communicate with the kernel from a 2.2 device? Is there any kind of documentation that indicates what kernel calls have to be available to the different Android versions?

I apologize if I am not asking the right questions.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullpuck:
I've been very interested in the Nexus 4 since I heard about it awhile back. I've been reading every review and as many comments from bloggers who already have a preview device.

I've already decided that I'm going to buy a Nexus 4. Coming from a modded Samsung Vibrant I really don't have much to compare it to and since it's faster than the S3 I think I'm pretty much sold.

I also am looking to purchase a tablet like the Nexus 10 or Surface. I have been reading about people wanting to own both a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7 instead of a Nexus 10.

My question: Is the Nexus 7 really worth it if you already own a Nexus 4?

I understand that the Nexus 7 is best for reading and the Nexus 10 is better for videos and web browsing. Am I correct in that assumption?

I'm not looking for a debate on which is better, but personal opinions and why would be great.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
I have the Nexus 7. It's a lot more usable than a 10" tablet unless you plan on sharing it with someone else in my opinion.

I really can't think of a single reason in the world to purchase the Surface RT at this point considering we just saw a leak for MS Office for Android / iOS.

I'd purchase the 7 if I were you OP. Especially if you want something portable and something that you want to read on. Can't go wrong for 199 either
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindiboy:
let me tell you how i use a phone, making phone calls, posting tweets, google+ and reading short articles.

this is how i use a tablet(in my case an ipad full version) once i bought a bluetooth keyboard i take it with me to college, for notes, to write papers, to read, watch netflix, youtube, etc. It completely took the place of my netbook for my uses.

am entertaining the idea of buying a 7inch only if i could find a bluetooth keyboard to do the same functions.

I can't see how my phone would replace my tablet or vise versa.

If you need a tablet to fucntion differently from a phone, then maybe you should get one.

If you feel that you need to upgrade your phone, maybe you do.

Edit:

Stay away from the Surface RT, if you want something that would take the place of a tablet and a real laptop get a Surface Pro.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullpuck:
I guess I should explain my situation a bit more.

I work as a vendor for Microsoft so having a Surface Pro is probably my safest bet. I understand that Office 2013 will be available for Android but probably overpriced and I can get it for the Surface for free.

I am a 35 year old father of 5. I work from home primarily and don't travel a whole lot. I would be sharing the device with my kids probably so they can watch Netflix or play games etc.

However, I am still entertaining the Nexus 10 if Office is cheap enough and the whole experience is better than Surface.

Anyway, back to my original question. Why buy a Nexus 7 if you already have a Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
I went from an ipad 3 to a Nexus 7 and frankly, the screen just doesn't cut it for reading or anything else. I preferred reading on the ipad 3 and that thing was a heavy beast. The lighter and more ergonomic Nexus 10 should be perfect for reading, provided the shape isn't too unwieldy in portrait mode. If it does end up being too awkward in portrait, just get an e-reader with the $100 you saved on the Nexus 10 compared to the t700 or with the $250 you saved on the Nexus 4 compared to the GS3 unlocked. Or you could just read books in landscape mode.

The Nexus 7 is more for the crowd that is willing to use a phablet to replace their phone and tablet all in one. The nexus 7 is for the crowd that wants the convenience of a phablet but still wants their phone separate. If you are like me though, where the goal was to have a phone and 10 inch tablet from the start, then don't even consider a Nexus 7, not until it drops to $99 at least.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tulongest:
I actually think the Nexus 7 is the perfect device for web browsing and videos instead of the Nexus 10. My personal opinion is that it's easy on the hands and more mobile than the 10" tablets. I have a TF101 OG Transformer and I'd rather pull out the Nexus 7 instead to do reading, watch videos, read manga (I actually do all of my manga reading on it), view email attachments and as a GPS on the road. Basically, to me it's the perfect business device if you get a lot of emails and stuff while still have a huge horsepower to play games and watch videos (MX Player). I don't think I'd use the OG Transformer that I have now to play games. It's basically now a video machine and pretty much useless to me when I got the Nexus 7.

That being said, the Nexus 4 offers also the quick speed and more ram than the Nexus 7. But it's a phone, to make phone calls with, text, WhatsApp, to be quickly pulled out from my pocket. But the Nexus 7 is a better device to do the rest on because of the device having the "right" screen size. I'd just tether the Nexus 4 to the Nexus 7 if I need to do anything else.

Kind of makes it sound like I don't need the Nexus 4 after all does it. But I'm going to purchase it to upgrade my aging ST18i Xperia ray that has a 3.3" screen to something more useful and quicker as well as having better application development platform in having both the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7.

i agree get a surface pro with full windows 8 if you need a laptop replacement
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spitfire:
I'm not a fan of the small tablet, I figure I can do anything I'd want to do on a 7" tab with a 4.7" phone. For games and movies I'd rather use a 10" tab. I don't read e-books often, but I don't mind using my phone for reading, and if I needed more space I'd probably get a Note II and still skip the small tab.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullpuck:
That's my point. I can understand wanting a Nexus 4 because it's a phone but the Nexus 7 is just a tablet that has a bigger screen but not as big as the 10".

I really wish there were places out there where you could physically look at all of the available options.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrush4:
I have a Transformer Prime, Nexus 7 and SIII. Now I know the Prime isn't comparable to the N10 (as the N10 will most likely blow it out of the water) but in terms of usage, I NEVER use my Prime. My N7 however sees most usage out of all 3. It's the perfect size for almost everything, I find the larger screen is better for gaming, but it's not TOO large (like the bigger 10" prime). For reading, it's also perfect, as it fits in one hand without any strain at all, better than the Prime and a book. I don't think I have anything negative to say about the N7, I don't think the lack of camera is a problem and for £160 for the 16gb you can't go wrong.

In terms of owning an N7 and an N4, I plan on selling my SIII and buying the N4 on release day, reason being they both provide different functions. I love my N7 for usage at home, browsing the internet, playing games etc. but I don't take it with me everywhere, that's what I use my phone for! If I'm leaving the house for uni or just generally going out I'll always have my phone on me and most of the time leave my N7 at home, but when I'm taking my N7 with me it means that my phone battery will last 3 times longer :P

So I reckon that owning both is pretty reasonable, especially considering you can pick up both for around the same price as a regular smartphone or tablet, or even less than our fruit based friend.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tulongest:
See, that's what I thought too until I read what jrush4 said, which is basically what I'm going to do when I have both.

Thanks for this post! Exactly what I plan to do when I get the Nexus 4. :)

I found that the Nexus 7 was horrible for browsing compared to my ipad 3, which I sold, and my tab 10.1 before that. So, don't take my word or the Nexus 7 lovers word at face value. You have to decide which camp you are in.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullpuck:
What about watching video such as Netflix. Does it strain your eyes on the Nexus 7?

And I just realized this is probably in the wrong forum, sorry mods!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tulongest:
Well, I got no problem watching Netflix or videos on the Nexus 7 and it doesn't strain my eyes.

But browsing wise, like Tomatoes8 said, the performance of Chrome on Nexus 7 is really bad, so use Dolphin or flash the AOSP browser instead of Chrome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullpuck:
Wow that looks really nice and quite large. I thought the Nexus 7 would be a bit smaller than that.

Do you have a reference point like a penny or something or maybe show your hands holding it so I can see what the real estate is like?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
I suggest that you use your TV and Monitor knowledge.

How much better is a 40 inch TV compared to a 32 inch TV to you? If you answer not much, point for the Nexus 7. If you answer it is like night and day, go for the Nexus 10 or Surface pro.

Is working on your desktop monitor way better than working on your laptop(this is taking into account size only)? Or do you plug in your desktop to your HDTV because your 23 inch monitor is too small? If you answer yes, then Nexus 10 because you are a size whore.

If you are just as comfortable working on your laptop at home when you have a nice big all in one desktop collecting dust, then you are not a size whore and will make due with a Nexus 7 and receive the portability benefits.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejchis:
I am a Galaxy Nexus user, and I plan to upgrade to the N4 as soon as I can get one here in China.

I had a Sony Tablet S that I really enjoyed. When the N7 was released this summer, I sold my Tablet S and bought the N7 with a solid chunk of cash left over.

For me, going from the 9+" screen to the 7" screen was surprisingly satisfying. I find the N7 to be the perfect size. It's great for browsing, reading, and watching videos, at least for me. I love being able to comfortably use it with one hand, and it's super portable. It's perfect on a plane or train, and it's the only device I touch when I'm at home.

My phone is what I have with me whenever I'm out though. If I have a meeting, when I'm running around the office, or when I'm out partying on the weekends,I always have my phone. So I think the combo is ideal. I haven't really been tempted by the N10 because I already know I don't prefer that size.

I did debate getting a Note 2 to replace the two devices, but at the price you can get them for, why not have both, with a tablet that has even more screen real estate? And, as was mentioned, my battery on each device lasts much longer when they're complementing each other.

I will admit that I wondered if the two devices would be redundant when I bought the N7 this summer, but it hasn't turned out to be the case at all. I love having both.

I used Boat Browser which performs great on the Nexus 7. I just found it too small and had to increase the font size. But after increasing the font size, the Verge ran like crap. I tried dolphin and boat browser and it was the same story. Everything worked fine except for the Verge though. It could be that they are such Apple shills that they purposely designed the web page to run like crap on Android though. I wouldn't put it past them. lol

I watch Netflix and HBO Go on my N7 almost nightly, and I have no problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
haha I am a size whore too. That is why 7 inches is too small for me compared to the 9.7 - 10.1 inch tablets I used to own. Nothing to be ashamed of. I have a 40 inch Bravia in my tiny bedroom where my bed is only like 7 feet away and the first thing I thought was I should have gotten the 46. lol

Or here is an easier and more definitive test. If you are in North America, go to Bestbuy and buy both and try them for 14 days, then return the one you liked less on the 13th or 14th day.

Or wait until the Kindle HD and Ipad mini pressure the Nexus 7 into a $149 or $99 price drop and then just get it for fun.

Watching videos like Netflix or just general video files in general tends to be fine, I always use it on the train when I'm traveling from Newcastle to back home (aprox a 1 hour 40 train ride) so manage to fit in one film or a couple of episodes of a tv show, never experienced any strain or uncomfortableness whilst watching.

Although I agree with others about the browser performance with Chrome, it does tend to lag and scrolling gets quite choppy, even with no other apps open. Chrome in general tends to be a memory hog, so Dolphin is always a good solution.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TubbyHamster:
I have the Nexus S and the Nexus 7 and after using the small phone all day the Nexus 7 is fantastic to use. I've had 10 inch tablets previously, they are great for Magazine and Comic reading as well as Movies.

The Nexus 7 is fine for the occasional movie but I think its real use is as a browser/social network device.

It will be interesting to see if my usage changes once I get the Nexus 4 with its bigger screen. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
I asked myself this question today. I have the Nexus 7 and I want the Nexus 4. I know reading on a bigger screen is better but.... 4.7 is pretty big right? I even thought of selling my Nexus 7 to fund my Nexus 4 purchase. Then my friend, who has a GS3 said to keep the Nexus 7 and buy the Nexus 4 because even on his GS3, he feels that it is not big enough for articles.

Two inches is a substantial difference in screen size. The two devices will serve very different purposes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaddan:
It all depends on preference bro. I'll be getting the N4, and I have thought about getting the N10 too. I looked at the Nexus 7 a while ago and I didn't particularly like the screen size. The tablet would replace my laptop and desktop basically, so I would get the 10" screen for better web viewing and getting my school work done too. Like one guy said earlier, if you get a 40" TV and then you think you should have got the 46" instead, probably should get t he N10.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limpopo:
Yuh, the question was questionable, but I have actually found the discussion here very useful, so thanks everyone.

I think I am a size whore, and have wondered if 7 inches could ever fully satisfy me; but 10 inches seems like it could be a stretch.:crying:

Seriously, for browsing I question whether 7 inches is the right size. I think 7.9 to 8.9 inches could be the sweet spot for me, in terms of balancing portability and screen size in that application.

Unfortunately, I don't see any room in the Nexus product line for that size of device so I may just go Nexus 7, unless anyone else steps up with a device that can compete in value for money - is there such a thing already out there? Edit: There is the Kindle Fire HD 8.9", but I assume that is kinda locked down and a limited experience.

Will try to grab a Nexus 4 when they eventually come back into stock, but this is mainly just because I need a new phone anyway and it seems like good value.
