I downloaded Albert's package. My virus protection alerter me, but that's probably because of the scripts that do need to be in that package, so I ignored that (I trust Albert!).

I then unzipped that into anew folder.

Inside that folder I find Wini32DiskImager, and I just open it from within that folder. (I realize I was mistaken in my previous post, This is the disk imager I prefer to use even though I've used others as well)

The program just opens in a small window. In the "choose file box" you automatically get directed to the folder you opened up from. That's why I keep my images there. Pick the one you want (you'll jut have one unless you've added)

Click "Write" when you've made sure the sd-cards drive letter is the one in the top right box.

I have now downbloaded and unszipped Brians file as well. Totally problem free!

What are you using to unzip? I use 7-zip.

By the way, I can now see that it looks like Brian's image needs a 2 GB card.

And for clairfication, you don't actually have to install Win32DiskImager. Just open it from within the folder!

Check the folder. That dll should be in the folder. It is in mine (the one I created just now). Are you really opening the program from within the folder?

The simplest and best rooting instruction I've found is one provided by liquidzoo's here.

I'd also suggest that before rooting the NT, you make a backup of your NT current software using the backup option of the same Recovery program that you will use to install the rooting mods.

If you have problem writing disk image with Win32DiskImager, you can use DiskImage_1_6_WinAll.exe instead.

We'll learn soon enough the moment the kids want some recently released game apps and find out they can't have them because they are not compatible with 2+ year-old Android Gingerbread which is what the stock ROM is based on.:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
You are getting your terminology confused as well. Asking what is the best barest bones ROM to root is incorrect.

To root means you give the nook superuser access which in turn allows you to load play store, apps, new launcher, and any SU related functions.

A ROM is a fully functioning version of android. IE: CM 7(GB), CM 9(ICS), CM 10(JB). It automatically has root access built in.

As for loading a ROM due to worrying about the kids and the interface, stock nook sucks...period. My 8 y/o has had zero issues with either cm 7 or cm10. Do yourself and them a favor and put at least CM 7 but preferably CM 10 on it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
My sons are 8 and 12. Trust me, your kids won't have a bit of trouble with the CM10 interface. One of the nice extras in CM10 is that you can configure profiles to block them from getting into apps you don't want them to -- like settings, email, etc... Also, you can PIN-protect the Play Store so that they don't accidentally purchase anything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Since the OP will be using two NTs I'd suggest building the CM10 SD card from scratch (using the info and tools posted at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/ and which I have provided a summary digest here), since there have been reports of NTs running the precooked CM10 SD image having identical MAC addresses and hence not able to concurrently access a same WiFi network (in this case the OP's household WiFi network).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
I'm not saying rooted stock is as good as for example CM10. Not at all! CM 10 is awsome, and user interface is really nice!

But for a user that is intimidated by even the simple rooting process putting CM10 internally should not be even considered at this point. Thankfully the sd version of CM runs just as smooth as the internal install (at least it does from my 8GB Sandisk class 4) so that could certainly be an option as soon as the OP has figured out how to use the disk image writer! Yesterday even that was troublesome.

What I'm saying (if not straight out in my previous posts) is that rooted stock certainly is not bad! It depends on the kids and what they are used to if it will be "enough". For the kids near me (ages 4, 8,5 and 14) it certainly would! The bigger ones are girls that read a lot and apart from reading, watching Youtube videos and surfing (reading fashion blogs...) they are happy with a few cute games. Maybe if they had been boys and/or had tech savvy parents they would have asked for more, but they don't.

Either way, let's try to help the OP as well as we can!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gorelow:
i think it was the winzip that was screwing me up. i used 7zip and it opened right up and i burned it onto the sd card. then after i powered off i held the n button and the N button and i was only brought to a screen that said so you want to factory reset. isnt that the way to boot up? it didnt seem to recognize the unziped ntboot file. thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Try to just boot up (from completely turned off) without holding any buttons. If you do need to keep the "n" pressed down at first, that's just for a few seconds and then let go. Some people need to keep the Tablet turned off and insert apowered USB cable (menaing it's coneected to the charger, not computer) to get it to boot from sd-card. No buttons pressed! I have never needed that myself, but I hear many others do.
[Nexus 7 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Hi everyone. I have had a Nexus 7 since the launch. When I initially received the device I was amazed with the speed and fluidity of the OS. Like many people I flashed the 4.2 and 4.2.1 updates when they became available. Immediately after flashing the 4.2 update I noticed the icon size difference. I thought the 4.1 looked much nicer and easier to read. I also did not like the new lock screen. The main reason I wanted 4.2 was because of the keyboard.

Over the last few weeks my Nexus 7 began to lagging and compared to my Nexus 4, was not nearly as fluid. I decided to do a nanoid and flashed eos 4.1 nightly 37. After returning to 4.1 I am amazed at how much I missed it. While I like 4.2 on my phone, I like 4.1 so much more on my tablet.

Has anyone else found themselves flashing back to 4.1?

[Nexus 7 General] inchoate:
I almost went back right after i upgraded. I upgraded to 4.2.1 ota after about 4 hours out of the box. My nexus got really laggy, especially the keyboard. Then i unlocked, rooted, and cleared cache/dalvik, and the lag problems went away. Used stock 4.2.1 till i switched to CM10.1 two days ago, and i don't see myself going back to 4.1.
[Nexus 7 General] jamesc760:
I am sticking with 4.1.2 into Google gets its act together and release a more reliable and stable build. The latest version, 4.2.1 has too many issues and doesn't look as nice as 4.1.2 is.
[Nexus 7 General] kerzhentvec:
I didn't even try to move to 4.2 after reading about the issues I could find. The improvements aren't useful to me (e.g. multiuser), so I'll wait for the next round.
[Nexus 7 General] sparkerjc:
I'm going to derail this topic for a second - OP, do you use your nexus 7 while flying? I'm a civilian helicopter pilot and I love the Garmin Pilot app- I even modified a case to attach it to my knee board- just had to ask! I know your equipment is much more robust than ours.
[Nexus 7 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Letting the train crash.... Yes I do. When I fly a UH-60M I have a moving map. When I fly the UH-60A+/L or civilian fixed wing I also use garmin maps. I have an s-line tpu case with a hand-e-holder leg strap and external Q818XT GPS. Works fantastic.

I'm not too happy with 4.2, but when I tried to nandroid back I ended up losing my recovery and went into a bootloop. I ended up having to do a complete restore using the rootkit. Then I wasn't paying attention and flashed another 4.2.1 ROM. FML I'm just staying on 4.2.1 because I don't want to deal with all that backing up/ restoring again.
[Nexus 7 General] Uh60m Pilot:
I had an issue flashing a 4.1 ROM when I was using stock 4.2.1. When I changed to phanandroid I was able to revert back to 4.1 with no problem. Not sure why that was.

the battery life for me on 4.2 was worse than before, also the system lost its slickness. I'm going back to 4.1 now, most likely PA but while im flashing i'll give galaxy bean n7 a go
[Nexus 7 General] ncguy68:
I also returned to 4.1.2 after a few days on 4.2. 4.2 made my Nexus 7 slower than my Nook Tablet.

Reverted back to 4.1.2 from 4.2 almost immediately! Did not like the look or feel of the update!

On topic: Which 4.1 ROMs do you find stable enough to use for flying with good GPS? I have only been using slightly modified stock ROMs because I was flying and the GPS locked up on me... not something I want to happen often (ever).

Off topic: I attached pictures of my setup. I basically cut the front cover off of a cheap amazon leather case and put grommets in it for my IFR kneeboard. Is that hand-e-holder the same as a "third hand"? I think I know what your talking about though.

Stop the OTA Update Notification

I'm staying with 4.1 as well. I made the mistake and upgraded it to 4.2 after activation. Bluetooth was broken, home screen date is horrible, horrible update in general. I thought I got a defective unit, so I returned my N7 and got another one.

So to answer your question on how to stop the OTA notification nag, this is what I did.

1. Root your N7

2. Download Autorun manager (free version) from the Play store

3. Choose advanced mode

3. Choose Settings (box with a wrench) be sure "Show system entries" & "Enable system app disable is checked"

4. Scroll down and look for "Google Services Framework" and select it.

5. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck the following service "com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService"

That's it, I no longer receive the OTA update notification nag screen!!

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 General] ncguy68:
I have modified the build.prop file to a higher dpi setting and this change prevents the ota update from working. When I got the first update notification I allowed it and it failed. I have not gotten the update request again.
[Nexus 7 General] bluetigger68:
I went back to stock rooted 4.1.2 and changed dpi via local.prop to 160.

I want tablet ui and cifs support on my ns, the second and the poor performance were my main reasons.

Search for fotakill.apk and follow instructions. That will get rid of the notification.

I didn't even tried 4.2 after I saw all the issues it had.

I'm still running PA 2.54 with M-Kernel a11 and it's smooth enough for me.

The only thing that was making me to want 4.2 was the keyboard with it's swipe feature, but no problem,I found and installed a leaked .apk and now I have 4.1.2 with the swipe keyboard.

You have an .apk and a flashable .zip too.

I went back and forth between 4.2 and 4.1 for a while and always came away more satisfied with cm10 with the last M-kernel+ build that worked with 4.1.x than anything else performance-wise. Now cm10.1 builds are out I've switched to that and to the latest M-kernel+ and don't mind it. The responsiveness and battery life are more like 4.1.2 now and I quite like the settings pulldown. I don't like the new clocks at all though. I really want my cm10 lock screen and clock app back :P

Me too. It seems weird that people complain about the tablet being slow while mine simply doesn't feel slow at all. I'm curious to see what the reason could be. Then again, I never really used 4.1 so have no basis for comparison. When my N7 came out of the box I just let it update itself and went all the way to 4.2.1.

All my android devices run a custom ROM (Slim on the Galaxy's and EOS on the Transformer), and I can't find a reason to run one on the N7. It IS rooted, though.

[Nexus 7 General] Ketzal:
Had issues with 4.2.1, same as everyone else.

Eventually gave in and did a factory reset.

Works flawlessly now and has some big improvements over 4.1.

The font management alone makes it a vital upgrade.

Sadly the issue is in the OTA update process. There is obviously something going on that nobody (Google included) has solved yet.

Some people get a clean update, others it ruins their device on the new ROM.

I'm certain now that to avoid the issues you basically have to do a full factory reset on every large update.

A total pain, but well worth it.

Maybe it's as simple as a corrupt file or random app that causes the issues, but it is definitely random.

A working copy of 4.2.1 is near perfect. Has equal battery life and improved features.

Reset your device.

Worked for me.

With that said, I am also saying farewell to HTC completely. Not enough backing of their current lineup in my opinion.
