Nexus 7 Watering Hole

The only reason I've ever rooted or ROMed a device was to make up for its shortcomings. I've literally not been able to find a single one with this device. I'm at 2.5 hours of screen on time with 18.5 hours of on battery and it's without a doubt the speediest Android product I've ever used. I'm in love with it as it is.

Besides, I've got my GNex to play with haha.

My feelings exactly. I do have a jelly bean ROM on my GNex, because VZW is taking forever. However my N7 is great just how it is, so I have not had a desire to root it.

No rooting is better. It removes all that non-existent bloatware by some guy that works at a gas station. He didn't goto college so he knows what he's doing.

By the way can you take a picture for me? My Droid Charge rooted with IDGF 7.0 doesn't have a workable camera...or texting...actually it doesn't even power on.
