I would recommend the new nexus 7 just because the screen resolution makes text super clear. And it has an awesome price. I picked one up about a week ago, and I've only been using it for browsing, reading, and news, it's exceptional. I prefer the 7" personally because it can be more like a book and the portability and ability to type easily is nice. Find out if she prefers the ipad or galaxy tab screen size first. If the 7" seems to be too small you might want to consider 8-10".

[General Topics] dagothe9:
She said is much or more the same for the screen. O already thought of the new nexus 7 but the with wifi-3G option is expensive to buy it for her. Moreover I'm in Italy and g-play does not exist here so it will surely be more then 349$. The nexus 4 here costs 500€ that are about 450$. :(( if it is just for her I would prefer to spend a little bit less. If it is for me yeah it would be a great option. But pet's see when it is shipped to Italy.

Thanks for your precious opinion!

Edit: crazy idea make her fund a bit for the new plan with xperia z ultra in bundle XD

Do NOT skimp on a tablet for an elderly person. If things do not work right and/or are laggy, she WILL not use it. She expects a premium feel now. If you get her a crappy a$$ Chinese tablet (or any tablet less than 200 USD), she will hate it. Old people don't have patience for that kind of stuff.

Hi,

I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.

I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494901

I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip

and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel

So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?

Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.

I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?

I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!

Thank you in advance!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.

I like ADW for my launcher.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.

Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Hi Leapinlar,

So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.

I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.

Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tarrytownfads:
I own 128 MB JAM since March 2005 and use it with T-Mobile USA.

In May I installed 1.11.00 WWE upgrade. I had it synchronized with my desktop and laptop and it worked fine for me.

Last week I was on the Business trip and used the JAM only as a phone and a PDA.

When I've got back home I tried to synchronize and charge it as usual.

Synchronization started, but after 25-30 secs it gave me a message within the ActiveSync window "Connected. Synchronization error" and then immediately after that it changed to "Not connected".

I tried again - same result.

Next I tried to synchronize it with my laptop - same story.

After all I tried to delete partnerships and create new - no result. I am able though to connect as a guest.

At that point I decided to try the hard reset. By coincidence that same day I saw the news that ROM 1.13.00 WWE became available. I successfully installed it and tried to ActiveSync without installing the back-up then - no luck, same problem.

As well I'd like to mention that I have HP iPAQ 2215 and I can synchronize it with both computers without any problems.

So it looks like something is wrong with the JAM.

I hope you guys can help me to fix this problem...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
Alex,

Had this problem also but my hard reset solved it. Have you tried re-installing Activesync? You may also want to take a look under C:\Documents and Settings\{Your Desktop}\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles to check if indeed the profile data was deleted properly. Goodluck!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tarrytownfads:
Yes, I did hard reset, uninstalled the ActiveSync, erased all files in the 'Profiles' folder, disconnnected the cable, rebooted the desktop, downloaded the latest version of AS from the MS website, lnstalled it.

Then installed the AS, connected the cable, and tryed to establish the partnership.

SAME negative result.

It created the partnership and wright after it said 'Connected. Synchronization error' and immediately droped connection.

I am puzzled here...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
I'm stumped! Usually a HR solves this for me... :( Have you tried a Bluetooth sync (this may be a temp workaround til you find the solution) have you tried using a diff USB port and/or cable to sync your device?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tarrytownfads:
bnycastro,

Thanks for your help.

No, I did not try the bluetooth sync yet, but I definitely know that it is my JAM's problem now.

This morning I installed the latest version of ActiveSync available on the MS website on my daughter's PC. ActiveSync was never installed there before.

Then I tried to sync the JAM - same problem as I described in the previous posts. Right after that I paired my HP 2215 and no problem. It work as it supposed to.

It is a real mistery cause between the last time I was able to syncronize the JAM and the time the problem occure I did not install any software, did not pair it with any other PC... I only used it as a phone and a PDA on the trip.

The only what I noticed is that all of a sudden it started to freeze after every 10 -15 min of use. But now after I flashed the ROM to 1.13.00 it works normally except for the syncing problem.

Any other ideas how I can fix it?

I would really appreciate your help...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
I'd suggest the Bluetooth sync and maybe taking it (your device) for service.

Custom gestures. A swipe to the left from the bottom of the right side takes me back to the previous app. Vice versa on the bottom left side. Swiping up from the bottom of the screen equals a push of the home button (I hate that physical button). Finally swiping left along the bottom of the screen brings up the multitasking menu.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] adichandra:
wow. this gmd app is so awesome, i just bought it. you know with s4, it's annoying to open recent tasks by holding the home button, and the back button placement on the right is annoying too since i always use my phone left handed.

now with this custom gesture, i can swipe up from the bottom center to open recent tasks, and swipe right from left center of the screen to simulate back button and its really nice, it feels like you're swiping a page to go back.

I'm an ex nexus 4 user, I hate hardware keys. So I add this line to the build prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and it adds the nav bar like this

But it only works on aosp and i9505g ROMs. Don't do it on a touchwiz ROM as Samsung ripped the code out and all it will do is cause a fc of the sytemUI.apk but thought it might help as you always have recents avalible without effecting any app that uses the gestures you set it as.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] digiboy1:
So, I stay in India, and have ordered an imported Nexus 7, because I couldn't wait till November or December whenever Google/Asus would release the tab here.

Now, the tablet's gonna reach me on 17th.

Since it hasn't been released yet in India, there are no screenguards/screen Protectors/Scratch guards available for it in India.

So, I was thinking, if the screen has remained the same, was it possible to buy a nexus 7 2012 screen protector and apply the same on the new nexus 7 ?

If not, any options? Because, importing would cost me a lot. Screenguard costs like $1 and shipping and handling taxes and all would make it $6 or so, which I certainly won't prefer.

So, any alternatives?

I found a neoprene sleeve which would work fine till they release poetic case in India, whenever tablet gets released.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PGenneken:
The new 7 us slimmer and a little taller.

So if you tried to put an old ver 7 screen protector on it would hand over the edges a little.

and there would be about 1/4 inch gap at the top.

not to mention the holes for the light sensor and camera would not match up..

buy a 10" screen protector from another model and use a sharp knife?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hnk1:
Do not worry about it. You can easily get screen protector for your new nexus 7. This won't be official or designed for nexus but would just work fine. I remember my PS VITA needed a screen protector and I just went to a store and he took out a big screen protector. Attached it from one side and then remaining sides he just used a blade to slice them off. It fit so well that no one could ever say that I used a custom protector. So try to go to a shop who is good at screen protectors or you will end up with bubbles and dust particles inside. And he will show you the screen protector to choose from

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hnk1:
Bad luck maybe, I ordered it from amazon UK and i got an old case protector. I think they do not have it unless official here so I guess I will wait it out.

Good news for you is that I tried the old Nexus 7 screen protector. From the width, it is bigger but a bit small in length but its only like 1 cm by which all the screen is covered and most of the bezels.However, be advised that Unless you cut it with a very sharp tool, sometimes the edges you cut get air bubbles in them. So try making as less cuts as possible !

Good luck plus I even cut open my old nexus case and fitted the tablet easily. (MOFRED)

IT WORKED FOR ME, BUT IT MIGHT NOT FOR YOU. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I unlocked and rooted my N7 4.2.2 wifi using this tool kit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 .

I then updated to 4.3 OTA and lost root but the bootloader was still unlocked. If yours hasn't been unlocked then this isn't for you.

Download CWM 6.0.3.5 from their website and superSU v 1.51 from the superSU site.

Down load and install the Nexus7 tool kit. (Link above)

Put the CWM .img in a folder which is inside the Nexus7 tool kits main folder in C: , the folder is easy to find as there are a few together which are used to add you own files to the phone and not the kit's built in ones, so look for the add an .img file (or something similar) and there is only one folder for adding .img files.

Put the superSU zip on your phone(if you don't know how to do this, then do not go any further and wait for a one click tool kit solution.)

I donated so I have the newest V5.0.0 but I don't think it needs to be this version as an older one should do it, because you are adding the newest files yourself.

Start the tool kit and go to main option, you need to type in 99 when you get the pick a build version screen. You will then get a big list of options.

Select 1 to add the drivers!

Then after the drivers have been installed, select option 11 and then you should have two options 1 for a non permanent flash and 2 for a permanent flash: select 1, then type the name of the file(the CWM .img which if you put it in the right folder will be shown above where you have to type the name) in and follow the instructions.

Your phone will boot into fast boot, if it wasn't already, after you followed the instructions then navigate to the zip on your phone (install from sd card?) then /0 scroll down and install the superSU zip. Then ''go back' untill it gives you the option to select no or yes connected with recovery mode, I selected yes, because most tool kit instructions seem to recommend it. Go to the superSU program and see if it opens OK and if it does, like mine did, then that's it! Rooted with no problems.

If you have used CWM before then this will be very easy for you(I've used it before). I found how to do this just by reading the instructions in the tool kit and trying it, with my fingers crossed, so READ THE INSTRUCTION IN THAT PART OF THE TOOL KIT (option 11).

This was very easy and very fast (I had been trying lots of other 4.3 toolkits but couldn't get CWM to install 'no erro'?)

I did this this morning and have since uninstalled the tool kit, because I won't use it again for a while, so this is why some of the folder names aren't exact, but you will know which ones I am talking about when you look.

If someone, who is experienced at this, wants to clarify some parts in a comment, then feel free.

If your tablet is booted, enter 'no' to reboot to fastboot mode.

Your phone will boot into fast boot, if it wasn't already, after you followed the instructions then navigate to the zip on your phone (install from sd card?) then /0 scroll down and install the superSU zip.

Select ''go back' thren boot into recovery mode. Select yes.

Boot and run the superSU program and see if it opens OK and if it does, like mine did, then that's it! Rooted with no problems.

Reboot recovery then choose yes.

I could no longer boot to recovery, so I re-flashed recovery and was fine.

Hi, nevereven...

You don't need to wait for a one click tool kit solution.

Easiest way to "put the superSU zip on your phone" is to download it directly to the Nexus 7 first, using Chrome (or whatever browser you're using) - from the link below. (Chrome will download it to the /download folder, as will most other browsers).

http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip

Once CWM is flashed, navigate to the /download folder and install the SuperSU .zip.

Anyway... it's the way I'd do it (if I was a using a toolkit:))

Rgrds,

Ged.
