Just got a nexus 7, what are some cool things I can do with it? I'd like to customize it but I don't really know where to start, should I root it?

Rooting is all up to you, thought a lot of /g/entlemen would probably reccomend it. To get started with ricing, you need a launcher that isn't your default launcher. I use Nova Launcher for this. then I reccomend picking out a consistent theme or style that you like, which will help make your device look more unified. What's been really popular lately, is the whole Minimalist style a lot of people have going on, but there's really a ton to go off of. It helps to have some really nice looking, unified widgets to go along with your chose theme, as well as a background that matches. You might also want to get some icon packs too, which can be applied with your launcher. good luck, and have fun! I use this for ideas. http://minimalandroid.com/

>>29004612 Root and install CM10. It's Glorious. Use whatever launcher you want on top of that.
