How to unlock the Nexus 7 camera app

Unlock your Nexus 7′s camera app with our quick guide.

One feature absent from the Google Nexus 7 when it launched was a main camera. It was no big deal – equipping it with a high quality camera would have made it far harder to deliver on the device’s main feature, it’s low, low price. But having no rear camera means there’s no camera app either, meaning you cannot even use the front facing camera for emergency snapshots when you need to.

Android custom ROMs: What are they, and how to install them

With the constant rush to trumpet the latest phones it’s easy to think of old phones as obsolete. Most carriers encourage this with a spotty record on upgrading their existing phones to the latest and greatest software. Worse yet, some perfectly good phones are burdened with extra software and limitations, imposed by the carrier from the first day they ship.

ROMs are the low level programming (also often called firmware) that contain the operating system and basic applications to make your phone work. For the iPhone and iPad those ROMs come from Apple and can typically only be updated when Apple issues updates. But for Android devices there are literally hundreds of developers working on custom ROMs for most common models of phones and tablets, which they are happy to share with the community.
