Hmm I don't think a new ROM will help you there.
Best thing to do would be to find a good friend who will kick the stool away.

Got my **** together and went for F2FS thing. The hard part for me was to back up data on 32GB tablet with this ****ty MTP. But after hours of copying files, it was done.
Formated /system /cache and /data to F2FS (using multirom menu) and then doing usually things (flashing ROM, gapps, kernel and TB). Also I used a script for converting ROM to F2FS.
For now i'm happy with performance of this "thing" and gonna stick with it I guess.
People should try this

That's awesome dude. I've been thinking of switching to f2fs but I don't really have performance issues now. Could you provide the script and method you mentioned? I think that might make the difference for me lol. Thanks

When the hell did everyone get so damn snobby? "Let's be honest, my n7 was 18 months old"... Boo hoo man.. Mine is just as old as yours and I still accomplish amazing things on here. And quit complaining about screen estate and density.. Do you not remember the day they gave us colored snake and tetris on the ol' nokia brick pos. Just be thankful ya dicks

You must really have some heavy tasks then man. I use the living hell out of my nexus and if I kept my file system clean, keep only essential apps installed and run a light ROM, its perfect. I normally don't even bother with a custom kernel unless an app calls for one. I didn't mean to be a **** before or do now, but maybe its your own habits that bog your device down. I know that no matter how often I clean up my girlfriends HTC one, she's still going to have 5 apps running, 10 webpages up and then huffs and puffs when Pandora gets laggy.. Yet when I do anything on my damn kyocera rise.. its flawless.. because that's how I keep it. The user is a factor that this forum forgets too often when diagnosing a problem, yet its definitely the most common cure. The grouper is an amazing tablet and it literally changed game. So maybe you're just doing it wrong. It being everything. [...]

I guess I stepped on some toes when I dared to say the N7 is not the perfect device anymore in mid 2014. Next time you "don't mean to be a ****", preview your posts and think again whether you're being a **** or not. Buying a tablet that fits my needs has nothing to do with nitpicking or being snobby or unthankful. Two years ago, the nexus 7 *was* an amazing device, but Android tablets have come a long way since then.

I never said the n7 had a particularly bad screen or that performance issues rendered it completely unusable. All I said was that I wanted a tablet with a slightly bigger screen and up-to-date performance and screen density. If you are still happy with the n7, good for you. But when I'm working with my tablet, I *do* need to be able to use 5 apps including a browser and a few pdfs with sizes up to 100 mb simultaneously. And no, I can't "keep my filesystem clean" because I need all those files. That's what my tablet is for. If I wanted a mobile picture frame or just something to play angry birds on, I'd have kept the n7. But for the stuff that I need my tablet for, it just didn't cut it any more. Deal with it.

Don't know why but I'm still waiting for that kernel 3.4.x thing coming in one of these factory images. Although I think that's not gonna happen anymore.

If you want something simple yet powerfull , go for Rastakat. A little more customizations will be Slimkat.
And if you want an all-in-one ROM, try C-rom.
All of these are stable at the moment.

Hello to the community!

I have funny idea! Is it possible to port Android 2.3 (3.0) to the Nexus 7?

I mean it should not support everything in new hardware, but just would be retro rom for fun!

yes I'm using C-Rom, but it's not really that much smoother
Rom Rastakat customization has not?! it's the N7 Tilapia again?!

Rastakat has few customizations but it's fast and stable. Didn't noticed a bug when using it few months ago.
Sorry don't know about Tilapia, but I think there's no official one. But I guess there's some ports on 3G thread.

Nit-Picking is hyphenated

Nothing wrong with older hardware, if it does what you want. Or you like making it do want you want.

What is better than N7 now? Are you referring to the 2nd generation N7 or something else?

Thanks,
