Default Color Platforms for Top Hat/XCSoar

That worked really well!Â* Not as bright as my ClearNav, but certainly
readable.Â* With my sunshade installed it should really work well.

I was really tired the glacially slow performance of the Nexus 7 2012
with Android 5.1.1 so I found a way to root it and then flashed a pared
down custom ROM.Â* It now boots in 40 seconds, has no bloatware, and is
really fast.Â* The ROM is SLIMKat.Â* Look it up if you're a tinkerer.

Thanks, I'll try that!

I just tried the sunshade outside in the NM sunshine and it works
well.Â* I think I'll start it up again, check the brightness, and go
back outside.Â* I'll report back.

I use the Nexus 7 all the time and never have a sunlight issue - Are
you positive you went into setting and have it manually set to full
brightness?

The default allows the tablet to adjust.... it needs to be set on
full. Best $130 bucks I have spent.

I have 2 Nexus 7's and both work great!
