[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
Reverted back to stock (not rooted), re-rooted, and re-modded tonight for poops and giggles. I still can't believe how easy you've made this process xbox.

I also made some changes tonight that I'm pretty happy with, and none required a great deal of knowledge. I'll post here in case there are people who either don't know about these apps or want to make the same type of changes I made.

I'm horribly dependent on some of the custom quick settings tiles/notification toggles on CM10.1 and miss those functions on this ROM. There's an app called Notification Toggle (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en) that's awesome for quickly changing those settings without ruining my minimalist home screen setup. The developer of that same app created another called System App Mover (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmo0dmVsaW4uc3lzdGVtYXBwbW92ZXIiXQ..)) that is a really user friendly way of moving apps to the system so they have special functions. For example, if you move Notification Toggle to the system, you can toggle GPS directly rather than it going to Location Settings, or setup a toggle to reboot the device (not recovery unfortunately).

I'm also the type of person who hates having any apps in the app drawer that I don't use. I can tell the Xposed framework and apps that come loaded on this ROM are pretty sweet if you know what you're doing, but unfortunately I don't. If you use System App Mover, you can move both of these apps out of the system which gives you the ability to uninstall them both.

As well, I was having some issues in Apex with icons getting cut off at the edges in the drawer and on the home screen (mostly because I like HUGE icons, I think) and wanted to start using Nova. I installed Nova, moved it to the system, and then uninstalled Apex. It took some playing around with but I found the settings in Nova that I like better than Apex. If anyone is interested these are the most important settings I used:

Desktop Grid Size: 5 x 6

Width/Height Margin: None

Persistent Search Bar: Always

Drawer App Grid: Portrait (8 x 6), Landscape (4 x 9)

I setup a gesture (double tap for me) to toggle the dock and checked the setting under the dock menu to enable "Dock as Overlay", and enabled "Automatically close" so when I go back to the home screen it wouldn't still be there. If you select "Nova" at the top of the settings menu you can enable "Aggressive Desktop" to smooth things over.

The keyboard I've found that I like best is A.I Tablet Keyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aitype.android.tablet&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5haXR5cGUuYW5kcm9pZC50YWJsZXQiXQ..). It can be customized out the wazoo with colors and backgrounds, offers split landscape mode (in addition to many other modes), and best of all is free.

Tablet Talk (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apdroid.tabtalk&hl=en) is an app I use that connects the tab to my phone over Bluetooth or WiFi so I can send texts and even answer calls (not talk on the tab, just answer if using Bluetooth) without using VoIP or a different phone number. The interface is great and can be themed. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Hope this helps those who might not have known about some of this. For those of you who knew, sorry for the novel :D

Now, time to update my signature cause I don't think this tab is going back to Wally World...
