[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
I don't know your dad's age but I did something similar I'll describe below.

My step-dad is 61. He's never been real big on technology, he likes using it, for example he's a movie buff and loves home theater stuff, but he really doesn't care at all to know how it works or why it works. He's the kind of person who mysteriously ends up with the strangest toolbars ever on his computer when all he was trying to do was type something in notepad.

When he saw my first tablet, which was when the ipad launched originally, he fell in love with having a big screen and touch interface. So I got him one for Christmas and half expected him to use it for a little while and get frustrated or bored and shelve it longterm. But to my surprise he took to it with no problems and lived on it.

Fast forward a few years to the Nexus 7 launch. A few weeks after the Nexus 7 launched (I bought at staples before the pre order fiasco prior to launch day) he had surgery, heart surgery actually. He had some minor complications and ended up staying in the ICU a few weeks instead of a few days. There was no TV where he was.

His surgeon really stressed to us that he couldn't be working from the ICU, so his own ipad was out of the question. I went and bought a case for the Nexus 7 and then loaned it to him in the hospital. He usually likes big screens and large print, but he says the 7 inch screen is perfect for him and he really liked the Jelly Bean OS and interface a lot. Now he's begging for his own Nexus 7 after using those for a few weeks.

When I'm caught up financially I will buying him a Nexus 7 for sure. Even for a "bull in a china shop" type person who's not a techie, the Nexus 7 is one of the best overall devices I think you could give as a gift. The tablet and jellybean just work, and work great, and it's not much of a learning curve.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necronhyperion:
Just buy it. It's a greatest device for its money with powerful cpu+gpu plus the grate service support (hope you never needed). The only bad thing is that the glass is not gorilla glass but just Corning class so you must be gentle with the screen.

Here is the wall paper

And here are the icons

Icons are available in the market.

Here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=icontheme.blackbearblanc.carbonround

But you need to install Adw launcher or Apex. Apex is the one I am using.

Then you need also Uccw.

Ok guys. Lets not get out of line here. The answer posted is good enough. We are here to help when help is needed, but we will not spoonfeed people. One of the rules of XDA is to read. I have seen too many people brick their device because they didn't read for themselves and took the advice of someone that didn't know exactly what they were talking about. If a person can't take the time to at least try to find the information for themselves, we will not take the time to give it to them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nobisoreal:
Thanks to those who actually answered my question. It took longer to grief me than to answer the question lol.

Btw search isn't the holy graal of xda. 9/10 I get tons of irrelevant crap. So lighten up buddy.

Some of you people really need a life. Seems like 90% of people who get on here just log on to prove how much more than they know than other. God forbid they help someone learn because then they wouldn't be the self important lords of cell phone customization they purport themselves to be.

To all the helpful, humble people I've dealt with on xda, thank you for having even a base amount of social skills! (Obviously the main shortcoming of a majority here)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
No man. We will help. There are rules for a reason. Search being one of them. If you can't google then expect a brick. If you want to blame the people here for not spoonfeeding you then be my guest. Try looking at other sections here . In my experience this is the nicest group of people in one subforum. They have even googled the answer for you... this is not a site to come pimp your phone. This is a site where developers come to share ideas and help eachother. This is also a site where they will teach you so you can develop your own stuff. They do not get paid for what they do. They are here on their free time. So why would they want to hold your hand in a situation where the answer is easily found on your own? This thread needs to be locked... anyone else hear a knock on the glass? Kenny? Lol

It was a simple question that required an even simple answer. You guys are going above and beyond. Arrogance is about unattractive quality, and I'm sure you self important confidence translates well into the real world.

You guys over forget forums are about communication as well, but some of you are so amped for a chance to zing a noob. Someone should spoonfeed you guys some people skills.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
You are still forgetting that we have rules here. We are more than happy to help, but not when willful ignorance is involved. It was already proven by multiple people that this question is answered in the first post of a Google and XDA search. Why waste your time and our time asking a question that is easily answered with a search?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
O the irony of some of the replies in this thread. Waste time? You are wasting time arguing if it's logical to help someone or smite them... If the answer was smite, don't bother replying. He came looking for help, not someone who cling's to the "rules" in order to justify not giving the help the OP was looking for. BTW, 90% of the question's asked here, have been answered a 100 times or more. If you can't be bothered to answer it 101 times, then don't bother clicking the thread title. I could see what this thread was about before I clicked to enter it, and so should you. So if you came here to b****, then shame on you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I didn't come here to *****. Also I help out whenever I can. The answer has already been answered. There were a lot of threads on it. For new people coming here it may not seem like that big of a deal. I have been here since this phone was out. I am not saying I know everything because I dont. There have been so many repeat questions its ridiculous. It takes two minutes to search. If I dont understand something I will google the hell out of it. Remember to use key words in the search like xda epic touch 4g or et4g. And if I still cannot find the info I finally ask a question. I get it. Some people dont like to do anything themselves. They dont appreciate that ahaaa! Moment. Well it will most likely end up the same direction as this thread.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Marty:
So I've been relatively happy with my rooted (but not unlocked) OG running V8 and see no need to upgrade to V9 right now. When JB is released, that will be a different story but for now, I don't have the time to do all the proper research on how to unlock (I understand though that its relatively simple with FreeGee), download a stock rooted V9, install, then reload all my apps and settings (only to do it all again in another month or two when JB is hopefully released). Yes, I know that I can simply do a Titanium Backup and restore from that but I always like to do clean installs of all my apps and settings after a ROM upgrade. It just makes for a more stable phone in the long run has been my experience. And so it feels like V9 has been nagging me every 10 seconds to update but due to the fact that I would lose root and the ability to unlock, I did not want to tell it ok to update. So I tried the method that I have used to prevent my Nexus 7 from also nagging me to update and after 24 hours, it seems to have also worked on the OG. The steps are below and of course, you do this at your own risk as I will not be responsible if it has unintended consequences for your phone.

- Install Autostarts app from Google Play (this is a pay app and there may be other free apps that do the same thing but this is what I used)

- Go to "After Startup" (it may take a minute or two to load everything and you may get a message that the app is not responding. Just tell the popup dialog to continue waiting.)

- Scroll down until you see "Google Services Framework"

- There should be several of them. For me it was the third one. Tap it and read the bottom of the popup to find out. It will say "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService. .."..

- Disable it, exit out of the app, and reboot.

Its been 24 hours and so far, no more V9 update notifications from Sprint. Of course, if you ever want to update your phone via the standard OTA method, you will need to re-enable the service you disabled above. Hope this helps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dave99:
Seems to work for me also, although it's only been an hour or so..I was getting really tired of that notification every time I turned the thing on.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HelloDominick:
will try this but with a diff app.. currently using "Autorun Manager" and no Google service framework found

Update:

I used Autostart manager (free) for anyone doesn't want to pay $1.50.. I found the serviceupdate and disabled it.will let you know how it is after a day.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BigRitz:
this can aslo be done with any root browser / explorer and for free

all you need to do is find the bulid.prop and open in text edidtor and change all zv8 to zv9 save changes and re-boot done deal no more update. Of course every time you flash a rom you will need to redo this until zv9 is hacked and able to flashed as a new firmware from source.

This was tought to me by Adrielvelazquez while using his lifeless rom based off zv9
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MikeDroid:
Nice easy fix. Used Free AutoRun Manager. Thanks for the tip.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mesacarvin:
Does not work for me. :(

I used the AutoRun Manager and unchecked the file, rebooted, but the notification still appears.

(on Sprint)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Marty:
All I can tell you is that it will definitely work with the pay Autostarts app I referenced in the first post. I cannot vouch for the one that you tried.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jeffham:
It's been 24 hours and still no upgrade reminder. I used the autostarts from the original post. Thanks Marty.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] evodev:
I was gonna say that.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

If you want to PM me I can walk you through everything. All you have to do is click two buttons in an app and restart to get unlocked, and recovery. Then you can flash mine, adriel, or b-reezy's versions of the ZV9 rom, which shouldnt erase anything from ZV8, but can also mess up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xtremetactics:
Saved me, crap was driving me insane. Almost just updated so i wouldnt have to deal with it anymore

All I did was root the phone then mv LGFota.apk from /system/apps to /sdcard/backups (folder which i created)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mesacarvin:
Worked as advertised.

I used the alternative method with the other app but didn't work for me

As mentioned somewhere else here. Editing the build.prop helps. Theres 3 line with ZV8, change them all with ZV9. That works for me.

Still useful

Even months down the road this is still a useful post. Of course were on ZVC now, but I stick to some custom ZVB ROMs because of speed tweaks and stability. ZVC custom roms have been having some issues such as switching from WiFi to data.

I used this trick to stop the ZVC update harassment. Besides, if I'm not mistaking, accepting the update can brick you.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Diablo67:
I simply updated my phone before rooting it,now i don't get any bothersome notifications.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
Theres always that, but certain roms such as AdriVelazquez' Lifeless rom and Stock Deodexed are on ZVB, while the latest is ZVC. I use his Lifeless rom (14) which has some nice tweaks packed in the Aroma installer. 100% stable IMO. ZVC stock BASED roms like the OpTimuS 4.6 have some issues like problems when switching between wifi and data. Also the battery life can get pretty inaccurate when it reaches 15%.

Which leads me to stick to the ZVB roms by AdriVelazquez.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Diablo67:
I'm just starting to learn the LG aspects of the OS,which is totally different from HTC,Acer and Casio,hahahaha,in which i'm just learning Casio also.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
LG is pretty simple. No crazy UI twists, no crazy hocus pocus bricks, and not a hard one to root. Most LG's just require the LGPwn app, and some such as the LG Optimus G can have an unlocked BL thru FreeGee, making the entire process computer free! HTC's I hate because of the whole S-On/S-Off thing. Last week or so I got lucky in getting an HTC One S already S-Off. Yesterday I went back to the past and gote another HTC Evo 4G LTE and its S-On. there's a simple software to get it S-Off but it requires internet, and I depend on my phones so much that I have sold my laptops and got stuck with an old "internet-less" one. As for Casio, Ive seen one or two of their geared up looking phones but no recent ones. In terms of rooting and bootloaders, Samsungs are pretty easy, Asus are pretty easy, Kindles are pretty easy NOW etc.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Indeed it can, softbrick but a brick nonetheless. I was on ZVB rooted but with a LOCKED bootloader, and the OTA for ZVC softbricked me. I had to lgnpst back.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
wow that's bad I thought it was only OG's with unlocked bootloaders...i once used a stock ZVB rom and flashed a stock ZVC rom over it and it had a bootloader error. The OP for the ZVC rom mentioned something about having to be on a stock rom, but Im guessing you had to be coming from STOCK STOCK ZVB, not a "rom." Forgot to warn others on that post.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Indeed I was on stock, no rom flashing up to that point because I was simply rooted. Even now I flash and test drive a lot but I'm still on my stock ZVC(after I fixed it) that I manually modified. In truth it was only a soft brick because I didn't have TWRP or CWM and was stuck in a bootloop of the update failing to install. ;) So I used lgnpst to get back to ZVB, then updated to ZVC. I also immediately used freegee to unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP and backed up everything to both phone and pc. Since then, no matter what issues I've had, I've always been able to get back into TWRP and reinstall a backup. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
Yeah nandroid backups save you from 95% of problems. I love the looks of AOSP/CM based roms on this phone, but they either downsize data/wifi speeds, have the camera issue, crash at times, or bring bad benchmarks. Stock ZVC along with Viper kernel with CPU OC'd to 1.8GHz and GPU OC'd to its max can score benchmark scores above the Note 2. On ZVB, that kernel is useless. But as I mentioned before, I like the Lifeless rom based on stock ZVB. its debloated, stable and the tweak options help me keep my data on 4G 85% of the time. (Sprint cheats alot..

)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah I've liked playing with some of the AOSP roms, but usually had some issue. Even if it was something as simple as not being able to get the lg camera to work properly. I haven't had much of a need for OC'ing but had a benchmark of 21000+ just using Zvc with Viper at 1.5Ghz. I havent done a benchmark beyond that. Battery life is also greatly increased with the Viper kernel for me. As long as I'm not playing GTA or something for hours, I get at least 24 hours of use between charges.
[HTC One S] MaddMatt252:
I picked up a used one s (s4), so I dont know what was done with it before i got it, but it looked stock with the 1.08 radio flash w/rom and stuff (1.14 hboot). After a few hours the audio died, speaker, ear speaker, headphone, and bluetooth audio would cause a reboot. I have tryed rooting/flashing just about everything kind of combination of things. After a new wipe/flash the audio will work for a bit (sec to hours) and sometimes after reboots. This makes me think its a software bug. I have yet to downgrade hboot (next step?) and play with the radio. But i think openDSP in hboot may be related. can someone point me in a direction to find our more about openDSP? i tryed to google it, no sutch luck. Is there a way to flash openDSP? Any help would be great!

[Q] what is openDSP? can it be flashed?

I published an article the other day about unlocking bootloaders on Nexus devices followed by some security concerns when using Custom recoveries.

It would be great if there's more security in Custom recoveries so unwanted persons could not simply access/modify the full device content! So here's a call for all devs:

Please add some kind of protection level to your custom recoveries! On every PC you can setup a password to protect CMOS settings so you can too! Adding a password protection would be so much of a better feature than big ugly styled touch buttons! Thank you!

If you're willing to wait just wait. HTC phones of late = far form the quality they're known for producing. SGS4 should be good and well worth the extra 3-4 month wait if you only plan on upgrading every 20 months.
