afaik its a mark one , as its deffo not the latest one
Some apps I use require root (give's you admin privilege's) but I guess if you don't need that access for anything - there's no point in doing it. Still at least you know it's easy to do and backwards compatible if you ever require the need.
TBH kit kit is not that much different from jelly bean, I suppose it's always nice to have the latest version of android though - that was my main reason for buying a tablet made for google. I have an Ipad mini as well (got it free from work) - but that's sitting in a box somewhere as android kicks ass!
I rooted mine as well.
I wanted to be able to connect to a network using an OTG cable and a usb-ethernet adaptor.
It works fine.
The reason is that there's a relative's place I go to where the wifi is no good. The ethernet option takes care of it.
I've only had the Nexus for a week. Last night I saw the message "update available" - nothing to lose (I thought) - clicked System update, a few minutes later I had Android 4.4 Kitkat.
Checked a few apps, and found that some wmv files that played with the VLC app no longer worked. Uninstalled VLC and reinstalled - same problem. Did a search and tested MX Player - it worked perfectly. Much smoother than when VLC worked on Android 4.3. VLC now deleted.
Might be a good idea to check that all your apps work under Android 4.4 Kitkat - like me you will probably find a solution if any don't but worth checking.
