    Does it bring something extra vs Cyanogenmod 14 (see https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=flo )?

      No, this is the basic AOSP build. I'm trying this first cause Nexus 7 (Grouper) was riddled with sluggishness problems since Lolliping when using multiple users.

      If this one works fine, I can try a Cyanogenmod 14 build next. They don't support it, but there is an unofficial build on XDA Developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-cm14-1-nexus-7-2012-t3507001)
