Nope. And the only thing I feel I'm missing out on is Titanium Backup.

...found another good reason to root. According to this TomTom's new Navigator GPS app is only supported by devices with screens with 800 or 854 x 480 resolution. The updated driver pack that I loaded onto the N7 a couple of days ago, which included video and GPS drivers among others, must have the necessary updates for me to run this app because it works just fine! I've also ordered this: . The N7 has a much bigger screen than my Garmin GPS, or my iPhone running Waze for that matter. I drive a fair bit for my job, and I'm relatively new to where I live, so a GPS is crucial for me. The maps take up 2.4 Gb, but the increased functionality over the stock Google maps makes it very worthwhile.

Like some others have said, my phone is rooted, just haven't felt a need to root the Nexus. No carrier bloat to get rid of, loving Jelly Bean as is.

Happy I can if I can if I ever need. But first rooted my Evo so I could run Gingerbread plus needed to be able to tether. I am running the latest Android on a stock Rom as is with the Nexus, and know I always will he able to, whole point of a Nexus device, so not sure I will ever have a reason to root.

Unless I decide I just can't live without Titanium. So far, that hasn't been a reason enough for me.

I don't usually root my Nexii, preferring the 'pure Google' thing. However, I just don't like 'phablet' all that much. I want my N7 to have the Honeycomb-ish tablet interface instead.

Rooting allowed me to modify my screen density from the default 213 ppi to 160 ppi. At that screen density, Jellybean pops into tablet UI.

Note to Android development - the choice between 'phablet' and 'tablet' UI really needs to be an option in Settings.

Doesn't the display look worse with a lower PPI?

Now that you can get landscape mode with the new version, have you raised your PPI back up to default?

Got my mother-in-law a Nexus 7 and rooted it and flashed Paranoid Android on it. For $200 I want as much control over the device as possible.

Haven't had a need to root yet. I'm really enjoying the stock Jelly Bean experience. If you're nervous about rooting, you may want to wait until the new 4.1.2 update rolls out to your N7 and see if it doesn't help.
