    Nova Launcher update while using Smooth Rom

    Actually, no you cant. Smooth ROM uses old version and when you try to update it says something about not able to install another user on machine is using it. Tried an uninstaller app also. What is terminal command to erase nova completely?

    Rooting a Nexus 7

    Yes... Very easy you tube has video of qbking doing wugs root. Watch that then do it. Then I suggest buying root manager from play store and goo manager (free) then flashing ROMs are as easy as a button push. Have fun and enjoy a open world we call root.

    Would you be willing to pay more for a higher end Nexus 7 (2013 model)?

    Naw.... I bought it because it was what it is at the price I was willing to pay. And it gave me huge bang for buck. That is what made the nexus 7 so magical .
