There are far too many ROM's and far too many Kernels, and far too many whatever else's. I've decided I'll root my Nexus 7 because I'm bored, yes that's why, but despite all the research I've done, I quote honestly cannot figure out what ROM to choose. I've got pages that I'll list at the bottom, which give great information about the names of them, but all the features sound the same.
As for what I want, I want it to look like the Nexus 7 does, I actually really like the setting menu on the pull down top right and the notification tab it has on the top left. I enjoy the simple interface and portrait / landscape viewing, though landscape is obviously not well designed on the Nexus 7 as it doesn't scale things properly, but I don't really care. I don't honestly know what Tablet UI mode while rooted would do, but I'd at least try it out. But primarily, I want increased battery life without it being bricked or damaged, I'd like to remove a few stock applications, and I'd like to maintain good processes and keep it clean.
At the same time, I don't know where to even get a Kernal or the Rom downloads, so information on that and which Kernel to get for whichever ROM advised would also be appreciated. I understand there is the CM thing and the Paranoid thing and there are 42 other versions it seems, but I simply don't have the time to try them all out.
These are what I've found:
1. CodefireX SR1 ROM
2. ParanoidAndroid ROM
3. CyanogenMod ROM
4. CleanROM ROM
5. XenonHD ROM
6. Bugless Beast ROM
7.
Additionally, I notice my Nexus 7 randomly restarts at random times with no consistency or reason and not always very frequently. I'd love some side-note knowledge on why it does that, how to fix it, or if there is a way to track which app is causing the error like the event log does for Windows Vista, 7 and XP.
Thank you for whoever helps, though as a disclaimer, I am not new to tech, just new to rooting, though I'm fine with following the manual way because I tend to do that anyway.
PS.
Some kids are going to be using my tablet at points in my life time, but they're smart and get into apps they shouldn't, rather then going through blocking them or just telling them no, I'd rather use a keylogger to know when they're inserting passwords they somehow found out into the apps like Netflix or what not to see adult content rather than kid content, and any apps in general that also use accounts and passwords. These kids are smart, changing passwords will only last for about 20 minutes from my experience. I'd rather mitigate the damage so I can know when they do it, and thus can properly react. So any type of keylogger would be great for my purposes.
P.P.S. I probably need to know where to get the custom recovery from.
P.P.P.S. Finally, I'm curious if there's anyway I can save the AppData from my games, smartsensor, and netflix before rooting and what not without having to redo everything and re-enter codes.
