    Brilliant, updated to 4.2 using Rom Manager from Android 4.1.2 build JZO54K. simple as ;)

    How did you install rom manager? Got adb working to reboot the device into recovery but after that it then fails to recognise it :confused:

    Quick update adb is sending the zip over now will report back when its installed. :D

    Edit: Just installed liking it so far only issue had so far was nova launcher wasn't working properly updated to beta and now working perfect, hopefully this update will fix some of the software bug in 4.1.2.

    Also if you are installing via adb install pdanet if it doesn't work and noticed it takes a few minutes for the commands to get going so just be patient. ;)

    Rooted using Wugs Nexus toolkit when I got the Nexus first day

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

    From what I remember it installed Clockwork Mod as part of the installation, you seem to be doing fine using ADB

    Got 4.2, liking the new touches, especially the profiles. Dolphin browser crashes on me every time

    Rooted the Nexus 7 originally using Wugs toolkit below

    Think Clockwork Mod was part of the package, you seem to be doing fine with ADB Steve

    Cool might have a look at that so. Waited a while till I rooted as LOADS of people were complaining about the build quality including the dreaded screen lift, warranty voided if I was to root.

    That's just due to the fact that you have the camera app installed from the play store?

    You could find it elsewhere I'd imagine.

    Yeah possibly! Even though it's the one created by that guy from Modaco,which hasn't been updated since July 4th, since I upgraded to 4.2 it shows the photosphere function, but it says not compatible.

    Strange!
    I'm sure there's a way to get it working though!

    Have noticed it before flashing a new ROM over a old one my Galaxy S without wiping it in the recovery maybe a wipe would fix things?

    The new update sucks balls. Forced closes all over the place and the multiple accounts things works great but is as slow as hell. Hopefully they bring out a little update to iron out these problems fast.

    Agreed. Very tempted to flash a custom ROM back to 4.1.2, if I do this can I go back to stock if I it ever needs to be returned?

    About those suffering from lag after the update to 4.2. I got the update OTA from Google last night and it was incredibly slow after so went to bed pissed off. This morning though it was fine. I think it was just checking for updates of apps, logging into apps, checking for notifications, updating widgets and verifying crap after the update all at once and it was fine again after a while once that crap finished and returned to normal cycles. For example the Facebook App was killing the ram after the update but is back to normal now. Hopefully it will stay as speedy as it is now.

    Not the same here just home picked up my tablet and straight away noticed lag on the screen screen and browsing throughout the launcher. Its like its trying to load while giving less resources to the UI.
