Too many ROMs and I make mistakes 
I used the wrong system.img for the production ROM from the BETA test. Sorry all.
I updated the ROM and now the file name is:
nextbook7p_1211_finless_v1_5b.zip
Make sure you have 1.5b if you already downloded the ROM.
Again sorry for my mistake!

OK folks the wait is over! Been quite a few weeks getting everything together but my 1.5 ROM for the Nextbook 7 Premium Serial numbers 1211 is now in production!
A special thanks to all the BETA testers that helped get this ROM right!
I have to say this has been a labor of love by many people!
Now before I go into what this ROM is, I want to answer a few things for some folks asking I put other stuff in this ROM. This is a total debloat for TOP performance! If any of you want me to make additions like adding Fenice57's bluetooth, 3g, etc, let me know and if there is enough demand I will make a derivative ROM with those added. Realize however the BT and 3G drivers will NOT make all BT and 3G sticks work!!! Only those which the drivers support. Best I can offer to those that want it.
So what is this ROM anyway? Bottom line it is all about performance! To find out more:
1) Read the README.TXT file in the ROM kit! I explain a lot in there.
2) Watch the video I made explaining what my 1.5 ROM is, the benefits and reasons, and instructions on how to get the most out of it using Petrus' APP Injector!
Here is the video download. This is for the Arnova 10 G2 but the principles of this ROM still apply to the Nextbook:
VIDEO -> Arnova 10G2 Finless 1.5 ROM Overview and Instructions (91 megs)
Here is a summary of 1.5 taken from the README:
Features in 1.5 "performance" ROM:
1) This has all the same features of my 1.4 ROM. FAST and REAL ext4 file system, 1gig app space, full root,etc.
2) This is a total debloat of the ROM. All apps, etc are removed except a file explorer as you have to have that to do anything later. Google Play (Market) is also NOT installed. See below as I supply in this kit a APP injector. The reason for this is file system fragmentation! Having a ROM with a bunch of stuff you do not want in it, you remove them and then install others and this leaves the file system a mess. Especially on NAND memory devices! Now you can install what you want after flashing and keep a nice clean file system
3) A full "settings" menu system! This is something many have asked for. Special thanks to Miklaus for making this new settings.apk. HOWEVER, during BETA TEST we could not get Accounts and SYNC settings to show up. Sorry guys. Maybe later we will figure that out.
4) A new WPA_Supplicant that will allow you to connect WiFi to Ad-hoc networks. Thank the Nextbook guys for figuring this one out!
5) In this ROM kit is Petrus' APP Injector. This was written specifically to support my 1.5 ROM. What this does is after flashing you can now "inject" Google Play, Google add-on apps, stock Nextbook apps. You get to pick and choose what you want and not get stuff you do not want! It properly injects this stuff CLEANLY either in /system/app or data/app! A lot of testing went into this and where best to inject these apps for performance!
6) This also has Fenice57's 3G stick support.
Everything I have removed can be put back using Petrus' APP Injector! So I am not going to list everything removed. Trust me IT WAS A LOT OF CRAP Run his App Injector and see the list for yourself
In the kit is a NEW folder called APP Injector.
Please watch my video if you can’t figure out how to use it.
But here are QUICK instructions:
To use app injector you must do the following
1) In the kit is a folder called App Injector. Copy the 2 files appinjector.apk and package.zip from that to the ROOT of your sdcard either external or internal if you do not have a physical sdcard.
2) On the tablet open your sdcard using the file manager. Tap on appinjector.apk to install it.
3) Run app injector. If you copied package.zip properly to the root directory of your sdcard you should be presented with a list of apps.
4) Click the box next to each app you want to inject.
5) Then at the top just tap the button "Install selected applications". It will then inject all the apps you selected!
6) At this point you can uninstall appinjector if you like or leave it and later come back and install other apps!
NOTE: If you click on an app that has already been installed, it WILL overwrite and reinstall the app.

Special credits to the 1.5 development people:
1) Petrus for the APP Injector. Without his work here things would be a lot harder for you guys to put apps back on this ROM and keep it FAST. He spent a lot of time to make this work and trust me... I AM PICKY. Awesome Job Petrus!
2) Miklaus for his very COOL "system settings" APK. Miklaus is the MAN for reverse engineering this! THANK YOU Miklaus! I know a lot of others will love this too!
3) Fenice57 for his still awesome performing ext4 file system
4) Daman for his boot screens and super fast bootanimation. So you know, Daman's boot Animation is only 2 screens and very FAST. I tested and it only slows boot time by 2 seconds!
OK so enough jibber jabber.... Here is the download:
ROM ->Nextbook 7P 1211 serial numbers, Finless Version 1.5 ROM (175 megs)
Again here is the video download link as well in case some missed it above. This is for the Arnova 10 G2 but the principles of this ROM still apply to the Nextbook
VIDEO -> Arnova 10G2 Finless 1.5 ROM Overview and Instructions (91 megs)
I hope you Nextbook owners enjoy this ROM. Again thanks to the BETA testers!
