Yupyup... that was already in the works. Should start really tweaking this thing this weekend... Soon as I have some xp under my belt, will start trying to get info together to make a ROM/Kernel wiki; seems like it might end up a useful resource for newbies, and with the Nexus 7 and 10 out...

OK... update. Looks like it isn't delaying sales at all. Called Office Depot (which opens earlier than Best Buy), and they just got 3 in this morning. Of those 3, one was sold before it even got off of the truck, and I was the third call this morning already (and they weren't quite open yet)...

From checking the websites (Office Depot, Best Buy, etc.) this morning, it looks like they already dropped the price of the 16 to $199 as anticipated. Only have another 1/2 hour or so before the stores open... will start calling then, to see if the sale has been delayed, or if their agreement...

Well, of course, so far, I have only seen the thing in video... hoever, the thing that I assumed was going to irk me was that the default mode had you swiping for notifications from the top, 'tasblet mode' has it on the bottom. I assume that if using it in landscape mode, that my hands would be...

Will look into it; Thank you! I may also have changed my mind about Paranoid Android... seems the N7 is stuck in phone mode originally, and requires hacks (with side effects) to bump it over into tablet mode... One of those things that I probably would have realized almost immediately upon...

Thank you. I think what I will do is go ahead and get used to the Nexus 7 barebones naked the first few days... then add a rom and leave that for a day or two, then tweak that with Franco.... from what I have seen, it seems to be one of the better performing kernels. Once I decide what I...

That is an extremely interesting, and if I might say so, surprisingly rational, recommendation. Most people that I have seen (at least for linux) recommend the most vanilla systems, and work their way up in features... that might be because in Linux, it is extremely easy to wind up with a...

Wonderful! Thank you! Not the answer I was hoping for (which would have been "Here's the link ..."), but certainly the answer that I needed. So, yeah... kinda like distro hopping... probably starting with the big guys (CM, AOKP [just like Ubuntu, Mint, etc]) and then working my way down to...

import ("tl:dr_disclaimer"); First off, this will be my first foray into Android... but I have worked with Linux for several years as my primary (and often only) OS. I had my introduction to smartphones via the iPhone 3, then 3g, 4, and 4s... and have jailbroken them all. I stayed with iOS...
