I wish my Rezound got anywhere near the battery life that my Nexus does. That thing can go barely a day even with the ROM Toolbox tweaks frown.gif

Ok, dumb question. I've heard it alot on here so I figured I'd ask by now...

What is rooting? What does it do? How do I do it? and should I do it/what advantages does it offer?

I heard OCing your T3? Lol, you cant even monitor temps so that'd really worry me, besides, does 100Mhz really make that much of a diff?


No internet at work. I found the guide to get wireless, the webpage I have to go to says my devise is unsecure....cryingsmiley.gif

Anyone else notice that dolphin browser is a TON slower than chrome...is it just me?

Rooting gives you "root access" to your device, allowing you to completely tweak the system.

A few examples..

*Sixaxis app (lets you use and map a ps3 controller for the touchscreen giving you the ability to use a ps3 controller for ANY game on your device)

*Stickmount app (lets you use a thumb drive using an otg cable)

*Installing custom kernels (system tweaks.. overclocking most notably imo)

Idiots guide for unlocking and rooting your nexus 7

^ I mean no offense.. I knew nothing about unlocking or rooting until a few days ago when I got my nexus 7. I'm a noob and used this guide when I was first starting out.

If anyone has any questions about your Nexus 7, PM me.

Recommended games:
Dead trigger
Nova 3
Modern Combat 3
Shadowgun THD
N64 emulator w/ any games you want to download (I have mario kart, zelda, mario tennis, super mario 64, super smash bros, donkey kong.. etc)

(also, sorry for the double post..)

Rooting and unlocking give you root access, access to the root directory so you have total control of the device: Like True developer mode. Custom ROMs (the good ones have the bloat sliced off and good feature/apps added on--like a custom Windows Version: Tiny 7, 7 Lite); custom kernels that allow overclocking or, like Malcom has done, downclocking in certain instances to preserve battery; allows access to USB-OTG stuff BIG files/media on external storage; install custom themes that fully trick the N7 theme/apps out. Check this out. It's a bit pricey but, it's an all-in-one USB-OTG flash drive/sd card reader. That is nice. Looks cleaner than my cable dangling off all crazy biggrin.gif Might be a good choice for heavy travellers....

Which Dolphin version are you using? To me, honestly, it still seems the fastest of all the browsers I've tried. Even loading the flash objects on pages. Plus setting bookmarks on the speed dial is the easiest bookmark solution I've found yet. I use this one (just never update it) Dolphin HD 8.5.1.
