The Nexus 7 was one of the Android devices that had Android 4.1 Jelly Bean onboard when it was released to the market. The mighty tablet runs on an equally awesome quad-core processor, assuring you of the smooth-as-butter interface and fast performance.
The tablet has been one of the most sought-after gadgets these past weeks and if you already are a proud owner, you may have been itching to try custom ROMs on it. So far, a number of Jelly Bean ROMs have been released and now it's high time for a Jelly Bean-based MIUI ROM to take the spotlight.
This ROM is stable enough to be used everyday with few to no bugs. It may have a few issues but nothing major. With MIUI ROMs, you can expect to have full customization of how your tablet looks because the ROM has a lot of inbuilt themes. Try this ROM on your Nexus 7 and maybe, you'll have your tablet run on this ROM instead of the stock Android ROM.
