My wife often complains that her stock HD+ isn't as responsive as she'd like. Will either of the stable builds (10.1.3 or 10.2.1) be better or is this a hardware issue? I'm wondering if the BN software slows things down.

I'd say if a little bit can't be dealt with then get a different tablet - I can deal with it cause of the screen size for the price and other roms... but, not everyone will.
[Adding also, cm11 is actually quite good - smoothest cm to me. But with switching apps, keyboard popup, typing in the brower, and more there tends to be waiting at various times or various lengths. How much of that is the device, the apps, or android is unknown to me.]

Hi,
I just thought it would be useful to start a thread focused specifically and exclusively on the pluses and minuses of the two great choices we have for our Touchpads.
I suspect a lot of us are sitting with CM9 nightlies and wondering which way to leap...what do people think? What are the benefits and issues with each?
Thanks.

I'd say that is more of a "Pro" than a "Con", in my opinion.
Even without flash support we can still install it and run it with native browser or Firefox.

I was noticing graphics errors with flash on CM10, either low FPS or scrambled looking flash elements. I also got this in other UIs in CM10 randomly. I went back to CM9 since I don't really see the benefit of CM10 at the moment.

I like cm10! Much smoother and faster! Graphics are great! Flash works great in both dolphin and puffin browser! My antutu scores were much better!

What's considered to be the best rom for stability and battery life that is ICS or JB?
I lived my nexus 7 on 4.1 but man 4.2 build is so bad. It is almost unusable to me. It is laggy and buggy with freezing all the time. Any suggestions on something very stable, close to stock? How is cyanogenmod? Ideas would be appreciated. Looking to root tomorrow I can't take this any longer.

Ι tried that for a day, it was smooth and all but the battery life while idle was horrible.
Reverted to 4.1.2 stock, is there a way to get rid of the notification to update to 4.2 (without updating ofcourse)...

Strange how peoples experiences differ
I use stock rom 4.2 and never ever have any kind of lag or freezing of any kind - everything works 100% and buttersmooth constantly
I never have to reboot or anything, it just runs for months and not even once have I had any lag or problems
Try a 4.1 rom, CM 10.1 is your best bet, but im not familliar of this device roms.

People have problems with 4.2 if they have old applications that are not updated for 4.2, don't clean their cache, or don't trim their storage.
Any complaints about battery life are due to applications requesting data synch or location. Those wake the Nexus up, and can be turned off.
4.2 is fine for me.

I had similar issues in stock 4.2, tried about 3 others before settling on cm10.1, which runs smooth as can be for me with good battery life.
Seems like the these things are pretty finicky and everyone's handles different ROMs differently.

You do realize not every device is the same. I keep good tabs on my devices. I would know if an application was causing the problem. I've factory reset the device and nothing has changed. Also I've heard from numerous people who have had problems like mine.

I love sparksco's saber mod ROM (4.2.1). It's very smooth and has excellent battery life (10%/hr screen-on time + 10%/day). The supplied kernel is great but I prefer metallice's m-kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 7
That's exactly why I finally decided to root and rom. I did like the 4.2 features so I was shooting for one that incorporated those (dual-sided notification bar, etc.)
Paranoid Android nailed it for me. It feels just like stock 4.2 but is wayyyy smoother, wayyyy less problematic and has a ton of customization options.
I gave cyanogenmod and a couple others a chance first but Paranoid Android definitely has my vote.

This is too funny...
If you have the latest version of jb and it is so bad you can barely use it than you need an RMA.. While it out may have some minor bugs I used it for a long time and loved it... I only switched to paranoid because I love the pie..
It sounds like a hyperbolic exaggeration to me. If not your device is faulty.. or you have some really bad apps messing things up..

I have a Nexus 7 and I am very happy with it. Currently running CM10.1 nightlies.
A few days ago a friend of mine wanted me to root his kindle fire (first generation) and install a custom Android 4.2.1 build. After doing that, I played around with it for a while (the Kindle Fire, no dirty thoughts!) and realised even the slightest movement of fingers resulted in more "estate" covered on the screen. In the standard Webkit browser, when scrolling down on a webpage, the experience was much better than on my much more powerful Nexus 7.
I wonder:
- Can I adjust how my Nexus 7 respons to my fingers movement - kinda like mouse sensitivity?
- Perhaps this has something to do with the lower resolution on the Kindle?
Its most likely a hardware thing.
I don't notice the difference between my kindle and my nexus

Sorry for being daft: you say it is most likely a hardware thing, yet your experience on these devices is similar? I reckon you mean a software thing, from the custom ROM i am trying out?
FYI this is the ROM I installed. I don't see any mentions of customised sensitivity.
Anyone got any input on my other Q regarding ability to adjust sensitivity? I'd like to make my Nexus 7's react with bigger movement when i scroll in the browser etc.
Hello all,
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I was wondering if there was a consensus on what the most stable/smoothest ROM currently available for the HD+? Currently running CM10.1.3 build based on the recommendation on an old thread re stability, but I bet it can be better. I don't need 4.3 or every feature, stability and smoothness is the most important thing for me.
What do you guys think? Thanks.

Mine does, quite a bit. Once I am watching a video it's great, but navigating around the UI can be frustrating at times, but ok other times. Hit or miss. Better than the 4.3 builds I was on. I really hope the 4.4 builds assist the lag.

What build are you using exactly? Custom kernel? Are there any kernels I should be flashing? What are your performance settings set to? I don't need high-end game performance, I just want to get in and out of apps and navigate the UI without thinking about the sub-par internals.
Thanks leapinlar!

I find that using Greenify helps lower the amount of lag. I'm running CarbonROM 10-31 build with buggy multiwindow. Previous CarbonROM build was roughly the same in performance. At times I'm fine, but at others, it takes a year to open something. I'm hoping that the new compiler, ART, will make things better.

I run CM10.1.3 stable, using the kernel that comes with it and standard performance settings.
But I run at 320 dpi and use ADW-EX as my launcher. I also run my swap zip so that media files get put on my SD instead of internal memory. I also have the SEM32G chip.
I suspect that a lot of users getting LAG are 16GB devices that put their media files on internal memory (the default) and they fill up internal memory (/data and /data/media) so that the device slows down when it needs to write to storage that has been previously used. After all, that is what LAG is.

Yeah I was contemplating trying the carbon builds with the multiwindow but really want to make sure it's stable first. Might just wait for 4.4 builds before changing.

I have a question. I have been reading about kitkat apps. It seems that particularly the web browser is pretty crap. Can anyone verify these comments? I don't know that it will be an issue, but I was curious if anyone here has any personal experience. If it's bad, I'll stay with 4.2.2 . Thanks.

The launcher is just OK, it's really Google Now's version of a launcher with it built in. I found it be a little slow and very little customization. Fine for the masses who don't know any different (which are the majority of users, sadly). Nova destroys it all day long.
Far as KitKat goes, it all depends on the ROM and the device. Some ROMs are way behind and some are way ahead. I hate to say it but if CM11and SlimKat were all I had to choose from, I'd probably go back to 4.2. Yes CM is the foundation of all ROMs so I'm grateful it's around, but for KitKat they still have a long way to go, at least for S2. Same for SlimKat. Just too many issues. The unofficial ROMs are kicking major butt though. For the Exhibit, I'd stick with 4.2 for now although to be fair I haven't tried the newest KitKat ROMs available here lately. @jfbs is working hard to get you guys a stable 4.4 though!

I can easily install Nova again. It's the launcher I use now and I love it. Thanks for the advice. I am looking forward to @jfbs' rom. I was just eager to try kitkat because it was supposedly designed to work on phones like ours, where ram is at a premium. Initial reviews did say it ran much lighter, but I am not sure if it really makes a difference.

Ultimately there is one truism I have found, functionality and speed are mainly hardware dependent. You can have the best ROM ever made in history but if the device doesn't have the hardware to back it up, it's useless. I booted the Exhibit for the first time in almost two weeks the other day and it was so much painfully slower than what I have now it isn't even funny. It reminded me how thankful I need to be that I have something else to be honest. A good KitKat ROM may help this device, IDK.
Yeah, the browser on Slimkat is all slow and FC's, even when you try to use a different browser than stock. With the other 4.4 ROMs we have I think you can just use a different browser if the stock has FC issues.
I stay using 4.2, since I can OC higher than 1012MHz and can swap the sd's.
FC stands for force close? Thanks for the advice. I will stay with 4.2 for now. I will see what @jfbs comes up with.
