All androites have the facility of custom ROMs and recoveries. Developers develop separate ROMs, which offer functions that are different and meant for separate devices. One recently developed ROM is the ParanoidAndroid ROM, now easily flashable on the Google Nexus 10. It brings a hybrid interface and allows you to choose from three different UI, being Phone UI, Phablet UI or the Tablet UI. As a result, your device is likely to become fast and free of unnecessary applications.
As always, we would stop you before the tutorial and turn your attention towards the pre-requisites, which many of our readers would now be familiar with. As the heading says, apply it on the tablet Nexus 10, and not any other. Device can be charged properly beforehand. We always create a backup before flashing any such ROMs, and you should do so too. Please proceed from the first step till the last at your own sole will. You shouldn’t hold us responsible for anything unfortunate, as you’ve been warned before.
