Yes, I used the Wug's Nexus root toolkit.

I'm stuck at the same point as well. My Nexus 7 is rooted, and so it never installed the 4.3 update.

Will this work with the Nexus 7 (2012)? iTaSee IT64 SlimPort to HDMI Adapter for Google Nexus 4 / LG Optimus G Pro / Fujitsu Arrows Tab - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

You are correct. Older batteries like Ni-Cd were damaged by leaving them charging for extended periods. They would continue to accept current, and turn this excess into heat. The heat damaged the battery. Lithium batteries are not damaged by leaving them on the charger after the charge cycle...

I try to never let my lithium batteries go below 20% before I recharge them. This will maximize their life.

Think of a lithium battery like a car battery. They prefer shallow discharges, and topped back up as soon as possible. That's the way to get maximum life from them. Also, lithium batteries lose capacity temporarily when they're cold, and their life is shortened with high temperature. Don't...

I believe laptop batteries need to be fully discharged in order for the battery monitor chip to calculate battery capacity. It's very hard on the battery, but the manufacturers don't care if you ruin your battery, they'll sell you another.

Don't run lithium batteries right down to zero. They don't like it at all. It was once useful to cycle nickle cadmium batteries, but these are a whole different chemistry. Lithium prefer to be topped up, like lead acid batteries.
