Review: Noreve Tradition case for Nexus 7

Leather is often synonymous with quality. Samsung has even taken to crafting their devices with faux-leather stitching to try to convey a sense of worth to their products. The Noreve Tradition case for the Nexus 7 (2013) tries to convey that sense of quality and luxury to owners of Google’s 7-inch tablet that are looking for a relatively expensive accessory for their inexpensive tablet. But does the Noreve Tradition
deliver on that promise of quality and luxury?

Android 4.2 manual install now available for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7

Google is updating Nexus devices to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean via an over-the-air update today.

Those with the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus, who don’t feel like waiting for a rollout, can grab the firmware manually from Google’s servers now, while the v4.2 ROM for the Nexus 7 is also available.

Galaxy Nexus owners need to download the “takju” ROM (.zip), and then install manually or use a ROM Manager. Nexus 7 owners have a similar process: download the Jelly Bean update (.zip), and then manually install or use a ROM Manager.

As SlashGear noted, ClockWorkMod’s ROM Manger in the Google Play Store is a free and easy solution. However, if the above steps confused you, just wait it out. The update will land over the next few days.
