Ditto. Then I fussed over not scratching oe damaging the screen while transporting it around, and went back to IC
Ugh I know that feeling.

Finally also joined the Nexus 7 revolution and I have to say this thing is brilliant. Primarily got it as an e-reader, but integrating into my home network properly now.
Fast, smooth and the charge lasts for days!
On the topic of covers and protectors...damn they pricey. Looking at the Aegis Trident and Seidlo cases now.
Besides the benefit of titanium backup...what benefits does rooting the tab give you? My phone is rooted and am running all sorts of things on there that needs it...but I cannot find a reason to root the tab?

Got one from h2h for r335 with shipping that has wake sleep.
Played with a 4.4 cm build for a minute, it irritated me when I could not seem to easily set the amount of home screens on it.
With Nova I love gestures and the fact that I can uninstall apps right from any home screen.

Honestly, the only thing that I can think of right now, would be the Xposed framework.

Using it on the N5. Awesome way to do nice little changes the launchers can't

Nice!
Been following the xda xposed write ups and it really is looking great. As soon as I find something the tab is lacking by default I will root and install xposed. Now to put that on my phone
If you want to monitor battery stats or wakelocks, you will have to root and install xposed. Google has blocked access to these in kitkat.

FTFY. They did explain why. It is an inconvenience, for sure- not everyone has the proclivity to root the device, and apps like BBS really are invaluable on devices with bloatware.
@jester, Tapatalk/mybb won't let me quote, but not sure what you fixed. Google has blocked battery stats, finished and klaar. The question I was answering is why should the oke root.
And Google's reasons for blocking it...
They had a reason for blocking it?
Not from what I've read. See my link a couple of pages back.

Did they have covers for the 2013 version?

I tried installing it on my 2012 N7 but the installer just hangs. I tried re-downloading it bout 4 times but nothing. Well it installs but it does not activate. Running Kitkat stock rooted
Edit: Got it

I just mentioned that it is inaccessible without root. Google's reason was that it was not a publicly available API.
It was public until they decided it needs to be closed with kitkat. They don't want the unwashed masses to know which of their crappy apps/drivers are killing the battery.
Which is pretty dumb imo

Anybody got a wireless charger? Does it work through a cover?
