Love the N7 but

OK I really do like the overall device, the power and the os but I really prefer the form factor and lower weight of my galaxy tab 7.7. Yes I know one is higher end, has a better screen and costs a lot more ...
Holding the GTab for extended periods just feels better.
Once I get the nova launcher running and I can hold the N7 in portrait I meant landscape then I am sure it will felt better.
Anyone using nova launcher? Looks like to really get the most out of it I have to upgrade vice using the free.

Enable tablet mode (160 dpi), and there is no need for nova as the stock launcher will rotate.

Tablet mode? I do realize it will auto rotate but not on the main screen home

Nova is nice though because you can set animation speeds.... feels super slick

trade yout 7.7 for my nexus 7

Ive just found THE most annoying problem in the N4...

And now Im going to ruin your day. If you have folders and app icons mixed on the home screen, the labels dont align. App icons text sits noticeably higher than the label for folders. Its annoying the bejesus out of me...

Software update will fix it. Big deal.

Please provide a screenshot.

Haha, lol! Better you download any other launcher like apex or go launcher. Try and tell us.

The most annoying for me is I can't use t9 to dial contacts from the dialer! My labels line up fine with nova.

meh! - nova launcher - options - desktop - untick label icons.

Does this only happen on the stock Launcher?

I don't get it? Cause its not aligned well? Is that it...

You don't care but some do. Sorry we don't all think like you! The fact is it shouldn't even be there. I have never seen this on any android phone I have used or any of the dozens of Stock/Custom ROMs.

I've found something much worse
For me anyway, when I set the brightness to the maximum and then put a black background, a single red stuck pixel shows up near the center. It only seems to be visible with the brightness turned up and on darker backgrounds.
I've tried using the stuck pixel fixer apps but none have worked so far :/ Anyone have any ideas?

Very terrible, this has made me cancel Thanksgiving.

My nexus 7 is not smooth at all!

Hey, my nexus 7 doesn't feel smooth at all. The UI feels choppy and games are lagging, even my brother iphone 3 feels smoother :crying:
I have rooted,overclocked,custom launcher etc but STILL it feels laggy, how can i solve the problem? i have latest jellybean 4.3

Try doing a clean install of 4.3 and using a different kernel.

I personally use M-Kernel. But my two favorite kernels are M-Kernel and FrancoKernel. Both can be found in the Nexus 7 Original Development section.

You should install CM 10.1.2.
Everything seems to work and my Nexus 7 is faster than ever. I was running Paranoid Android and it was laggy as hell.

Maybe you have filled the SD card too much. When the nexus has very low free space, it slows down significantly.

You can try running an fstrim on your storage.

Disable Halo.

If you're running stock 4.3, disable Google currents. This is a tried and tested fix that should fix any choppiness.
If the problem still persists, follow what veeman said and try using other kernels

Ok, thanks. It helped a bit but is it still possible to smooth it out more? or maybe it's just the hardware now.

You could try running an app like Forever Gone SD card cleaner. And using Greenify to hibernate apps that are running in the background might help.

yes have problem

Holy ****, why does this work as well as it does?! I use currents all the time on my N4 without issue but WOW what a difference it made uninstalling it on my N7.

Just got a first gen 32gb model running 4.3 and it's just fine. I did go into Developer Options and turn off those silly 1x animation things to "off".
Might want to give that a try.

Double tap and drag it to the X at the top. Halo is still buggy on 4.3.

If you have hundreds of apps installed, use Greenify. Sorry, root is req.

Isn't this generally the same with all devices?
For example, completely fill up your computer's hard drive and test how laggy it is compared to when it had nothing but the OS installed.

here are what I found out:
there are some alignment issues with the dialer and when setting up a pattern PW
then lock screen is non responsive for about a minute. so u have to try to unlock it numerous times
Franco kernel works
supersu is in chinese
quick reply pop up in txt is mis aligned
torch not working
verdict: if the lockscreen issue and misaligned stuff gets fixed its a daily driver and it cud have been better with its own navigation buttons
going back to miui for now

Someone's using this ROM? could use the virtual buttons? I downloaded the latest version but I can not switch screens by not having virtual buttons.

¿DPI change?

I want to change the DPI 220 would be right.? currently in 320 this may serve to improve the quality a bit?

Okay, just download a dpi changer front the market. In my opinion 220 would be to small, but whatever your preference. Having said that, this is the development section. The only thing that you should post in here is development, not questions about development, requests, or other things like that. Just for your future knowledge because some people get really irritated by posting non development in this area.
Oh by the way in the unofficial development thread in the general section there was a discussion about this and an app that worked great.
