Any reason to root? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I use my 2013 model primarily for reading, web surfing, Facebook and some forums (like XDA). Any reason to root it? I don't plan to install another ROM (I use a Nook HD for that.)

If that's all you use it for, then no.

Can't tell if this is a serious questions...
You win an item on eBay by... winning an auction or buying it at a fixed price....

easiest way is to not use a toolkit.
install nexus drivers
adb environment -> bootloader -> fastboot oem unlock
What's the toolkit name ?

You can make phone calls on your Nexus 7

I just found this out tonight and it works really good, I have not seen this posted anywhere on here so I figured I would share the info for those that didn't know. You need Groove ip lite free app and get a Google phone and install Google voice, very simple and makes the Nexus even more useful. Not rooted by the way. Probably will work on rooted devices, not sure.

Amazon mobile (tablet) apk

I just went from a nexus 7 to the nexus 10. I really miss the amazon mobile tablet apk that I had on my 7... Can someone be so kind as to pull the apk and share it with me. The market won't let me download it for the nexus 10.

Just in case this is the correct one. But it wont give him access to it on his nexus 10 tablet for some reason. Since it's a free app I uploaded it to my box account.

Why don't people back up the apks they like? (before they switch devices) Then just side load to any device... will either work or it won't. Usually it will.

Amazon is clearly blocking their apps on the nexus tablets to encourage people to buy kindle fires. Their loss, not mine.

Current version is actually 5.50.1010- the apk that you posted is the phone app-not the one being discussed.

Latest version, updated today to 5.50.3510, brings N10 compatibility.

Edit: I already found it by Google.

Messaging over WiFi possible?

New to the tablet world. Never had to worry about messaging on a different device other than my gnex. Is it possible.

Confused about flo and deb

Will be getting my Nexus 7 today I ordered the 32Gb LTE one here in the Philippines.
My questions is what is the difference of the flo and the deb?
Deb is the term for the LTE model while flo is WiFi only.

I started at XDA TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM3CBtAaoWU
That video explains the process nicely I think and also has the relevant threads in the description.
Thanks alot death will watch this later reading and browsing the forums atm.

I used this in rooting my N7 flo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107
I believe it would also work with your n7 deb.
Will try it later just updated to kitkat and will the cwm or twrp will work for both flo and deb?
