Thanks in advance.
Hi Mate Congrats on getting the nexus, I'd recommend downloading this app and have a read of the thread, the app does all the work for you.

Thanks for the link. I actually eventually used the a different tool kit, but it's seemed to have done all the work. Except I haven't got CWM or another type of recovery on it. The tool kit seems to keep it off it so that you need to use your computer to do anything with it. I think it gives you the option to put the recovery on to it but seems to advise against it.

Any reason for that or is the developer just trying to make it as "noob" friendly as possible.

This is the one I went for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1766475

This is CWM official app, Rom Manager

As far as I remember it installs CWM for you as long as you are rooted. I would take a nandroid before flashing tho, dont want ya blaming me if anything goes wrong

It might be Twonky mobile or Twonky beam!
Both of those have the functionality you describe!

Play Store Twonky

I've recently started getting a yellow spot on the screen of my Nexus 7 in the bottom right hand corner after about 35 min of use.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a sign or more issues to come with the screen that can be easily fixed or I better off just bring in back to the shop I bought it in and looking for them to fix/replace it.

Do you start to eat a trifle just before you browse your Nexus?

Nexus 7 got bricked, was about to bring it back to shop, wouldn't boot past the x logo. Found thislink and it worked, bit convoluted, but nexus is back alive.
