Is possible to have dual ROM in nexus 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

There's an app that provides such functionality, but I can't think of its name.

Boot manager. Haven't tried it lately or even with the n7, but I've had some success with it. Give it a shothttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager

N7 isn't in his list of supported models. Probably a very high risk of something going bonkers. Some braver soul then me can be the guinea pig.
EDIT: I have had great luck with the app on my old G2 though.

I haven't experienced any lag. Try clearing the data and the cache from the app settings. Settings>apps>all

Turn on force GPU rendering in the developers options from settings.

It did not help too much sadly, so what are my options and how can I even return it to the play store?

Seems like I just have a lemon, will have to try and return it then.

Sounds like a troll here. Want lag? Try an xperia play with an ics rom.

No lag here. I second the ****ty internet connection theory.

i get lag maybe once in a blue moon. I have 7 mb internet which is pretty solid
What I've noticed on my N7 -- and what I think might actually be the issue, here -- is that the WiFi is somewhat fiddly. On my VZW-provided Actiontec junker, it's just fine. On my Asus (irony!) N-16 running TomatoWRT, on the other hand, it's less than happy; data connections hang, which shows up in the Play store as difficulty pulling up assets (images, pages, etc) -- which looks kind of like really nasty laggyness.
I haven't had the opportunity or the urge to diagnose yet, but the first thing I'm going to do is try changing the channel on the router, followed shortly by probably changing every other setting. Then I'll curse for a while because I'll have borked the router config without having made a backup. Because that's how these things work.

Suddenly slower

Hey guys I've been loving my nexs 7 since I got it but lately I have had a lot more issues with apps crashing and being very slow to load for example Facebook hulu and pulse

Do you have the 8 or 16 GB? Apparently the 16 has issues when it's nearly full. I'd say wipe the caches and see if it gets better. Are you stock or running a custom rom? Stock or custom kernel?
16 and on stock

Mine's that way too... almost unusable, it was almost full, now with 6gb free...
Stock 16gb
I was having something like this happening about a month ago. I took that time to consider rooting and it's never been better.

I've never used any nexus I own without rooting
And AFAIK, rooting doesn't change the speed of the device, just gives you root powers to alter something, that MAY alter the speed!

Unlock play store for nexus 7?

I've searched google and it keeps taking me to market enabler which is only for gsm. I'm trying to get a sprint specific app. I've tried the spring codes, don't work. Is there another way of doing this?

It isn't possible to side load it via Titanium Backup? Or is the tablet version different from the phone version?

Unless its an app that updates all the time side loading isn't a bad way to do it. In your case that seems like the least headache solution for now.

This is partly true. It could be a compatibility issue. What year and model is the car?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Blutooth is broken on 4.2.1 you need to wait for 4.2.2 or use a custom kernel like Franco's Kernel.

Mine connects to my 2012 Ram on unrooted stock 4.2.1 with no problem. OP, see if there is an update for your vehicle from the dealer. My '12 has already had one due to an issue with the HDD in the radio.

Just called and nothing. They actually have never heard of anyone trying to pair their tablets. I had a feeling they would not be much help.
I am wondering if I try to go to another rom.

You're on 4.2.1 stock?
Wouldn't hurt to try. I'll try connecting to my 2013 Jetta tonight. What is it you're trying to tether? Audio, I suspect...

Cars usually only connect to Phones via bluetooth because phones have different bluetooth profiles than tablets since phones have changes in their framework to allow phone calls.
most cars connect to the phone so you can use the phone hands free. tablets dont have hands free bluetooth profiles thus is probably why your Mercedes isn't linking properly as the tablet doesn't support syncing phone books and phone calls.
Someone else may have paired theirs with their Dodge ram but they most likely paired it for Audio to their audio system but not their navigation/phone system.
I got the same problem next time will buy a BMW.
I had issues connecting an android 4.2.1 device to an AUDI A6. gave up after a few days, even took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out.
for some odd ball reason, android bluetooth just doesn't work right. I tried all my apple devices (ipad and ipod touch 4g) and it connected instamagically to the car.
Let me know how it goes for you and I will try the later rom

Want to make use of 60in Samsung Smart TV

Well it seems as though you cannot screen mirror with a rooted device. What I am looking to do is have movies play from my phone on my Samsung smart TV. I'd rather not get the cable if possible. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
This is kind of a workaround but it should work. If you have a computer next to the TV or a laptop hook up a HDMI cable from the CPU to the TV. Use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.sphone2tv

Not sure. Stock MF9 with KT's latest kernel.
What does it do when you try? Is the option even available? Might be some framework changes preventing it.
