If i come from an old f2fs version of rastapop, how i update? i have to flash Gapps, SU and ROM and make wipes? or could be enough flashing the ROM zip?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] BlueKnightedDragon:
Wipe cache then flash ROM zip, super su, and gapps and you'll be good to go :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stunned:
Is this with M-kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adomol:
phantom r2
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spongaweb:
Got a weird error asking me for an Android system password to unlock tablet, yet I never put a device encrypted password. Factory wipe, installed ROM from your link, supersu and than gapps. Booted up asking me for a password and the one I usually use didn't work, so it only allows me to enter it once and than give message 'gonna factory wipe and try to restart again'.

Than I tried factory reset with phantom kernal 2 and it started up fine. So just a random error throwing it out there

Update: Startup with phantom kernal 2 was fine but gapps install didn't seem to go through. Missing playstore and no settings option at top, had to get to it through bottom menu button. Than I restarted back to TWRP and it gave me a unable to mount E: error when trying to install gapps. So I did factory reset and installed your link f2fs rastapop, with supersu, gapps(slim full gapps for lollipop as it worked before on the ext4 version) and phantom kernal 2. Same thing it started up fine but missing Play Store, but gmail, play music and super su are there.

Should I download the lite/minimal version of gapps? might be the problem.... got a link for legit gapps
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adomol:
I would definitely try a minimal gapps... f2fs is known to hog the system.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spongaweb:
Worked... but with terms. Default flashing rom with the gapps mini still tries to ask me for android device password. So I held down power + vol dwn to get to recovery and installed phantom kernal r2. Restarted device and it brought me to lollipop installation FINALLY!!

So I now have f2fs and with Rasta working on N7 wifi. I guess full gapps has a few more things I just need to download from playstore basically....

Cheers brotha
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LucentBirch:
I don't get it...what process am I supposed to follow to go from all ext4 to f2fs (data and cache)? I have been trying and I always get stuck on the boot animation...did I miss something?

I do a full wipe then go and format the two partitions, changing them to f2fs and then flash ROM, gapps, and compatible kernel then reboot...I don't get why it's not working
[Nexus 7 Original Development] luckyrumo:
It should work this way. Sometimes you have to repair the partitions after formatting.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LucentBirch:
I did that the last time and the dumb thing wouldn't go past Google screen...I flashed m-kernel and it worked for some reason...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancamcal:
I use older version of f2fs with a72 and banks gapps. Would you suggest to use better the phantom 2 and minimal gapps?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adomol:
If that is working good for you, there isn't really a reason to switch. Which ever kernel you use just depends on personal preference... and with f2fs, it's usually good to use a minimal gapps install since some gapps can overload the system. But if the gapps you are using are working fine for you, you should be good.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] BlueKnightedDragon:
This ROM works perfectly. The only issue I have is sometimes Bluetooth turns itself back on after I turned it off and will only turn off after I reboot my tablet.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PreemPalver:
Weird things happened with bluetooth. Dev enabled BLE support some time ago but another update disabled it. :confused:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] PatrickMac:
In the meantime we can use it with F2FS cache and data. Works also pretty smoothly.

Moreover, I've read that F2FS is a bit slower in reading operations than the old EXT4. So for the read-only system partition EXT4 might me better than F2FS.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] corumuk:
Hi,

I did a full wipe coming from kit kat (excluding storage) and using the latest twrp flashed rastapop, banks gapps, and supersu2.45.

It won't seem to allow access to storage, e.g. dropbox gives a storage full or unavailable, mega won't download, gmail attachment download fails, wifi ftp states folder cannot be accessed or similar.

Any tips welcomed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
I can't remember if there's a new bootloader for grouper on Lollipop or not, but I just checked and it should be at version 4.23. That might be the problem. It's a pain, but you may want to do a install from the factory images and then go to rastapop from there.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] corumuk:
It's had Rastapop installed previously and was working so i'm not sure that's the answer, although thanks for the suggestion. Previous install was straight from Kitkat but with a full wipe (excluding data). Factory image is a last resort as i'm guiding someone through it remotely.

update: checked the firmware and its v4.23. wiped and reflashed everything again but its still giving the same errors.

I've used that command several times on my nex 10 to fix missing twrp backup folders a couple months back but didn't think to apply it here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
Forgot about that. He was coming from KitKat. Duh!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PsychoAssasin:
Oh my god.

I just ran this on my nexus 7 just for ****s n giggles and I think it has solved All my performance troubles. I only got my new refurbished nexus 7 a few months ago so the first thing I did before even booting it was root and flash lollipop. I've had constant troubles with random reboots, intermittent super slow app loading, downloads failing halfway, and other intermittent slow/lag problems. I even went as far as switching to f2fs to try and fix the problem but although it was a bit better, it still had the same problems.

I have a nexus 4 as well and have run that command many times but it never occurred to me to run this on my Nexus 7. On my N4 it was very obvious when I needed to run the command(apps would dissapear and titanium backup wouldn't work). The symptoms on my N7 were different so I never drew the connection.

Can't believe this one little thing was ruining my whole experience. It feels like I just got a brand new tablet again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LucentBirch:
What does the command do?

hi! try this one

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bentso:
Once you have f2fs rastapop installed you can just dirty flash regular rastapop ota. It will work just fine. No neet to wait f2fs build.

You need to reflash f2fs kernel after you have dirty flashed ota. Otherwise it doesn't work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
Best Lollipop ROM I've tried yet for my Nexus, I was beginning to think Lollipop was a crock of sh*t as tried 3 other ROMs and they were just slow and sluggish couldn't even watch YouTube videos on one of them but since flashing this no problems at all and with Nova launched its fast and fluid, one thing i cannot see any option for centre clock and to change colour /customise, etc
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tcat007:
Layer support yet?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lutziver:
Really? That would be awesome!

But want do you mean by dirty flashing ota? I don't have any update menu in my settings, or do you simply mean flashing the latest version on top of my rom?

Is this confirmed to be working? (I mean the part that it works with f2fs)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MrDrift42:
Doing this results in a system being formatted to ext4. Data and Cache stay f2fs. That's how it's been for me the last few updates. I usually go back and reformat system f2fs and flash when the new all f2fs build is uploaded a few days later.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
ive read a lot about f2fs but much if it has been people who followed the guide but couldnt seem to get it right,, id like to try it but seems many people having issues?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ghalalb:
Camera not working for me, anyone else had this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] judhin:
It is quite easy.

Make backups. Device will loose ALL information even from internal storage.

Install latest TWRP.

Download latest rastapop with f2fs support on your nexus.

Boot to recovery and go to Wipe - Advanced Wipe

Tick System and press "Repair or Change File System" then "Change File System" and choose "F2FS". Do the job.

Go back to partition selection and do the same operation for Cache.

Reboot recovery ( From Reboot menu)

Now go to "Install" and flash f2fs rom.

After flashing go to Wipe once again and change file system of the "Data" partition.

You can now boot the fresh rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
Cheers mate I'll have to get around to backing stuff up first then I'll proceed

In TWRP, factory reset, format Data, format system, then install 5.1 rasta, installed PA 5.1 micro google apps, reboot, and for me, no google apps is installed first time. Need to restart to TWRP again, and then install google apps again, and then it is installed. Have tried to installed again directly, but with no luck.

Thanks mate. I was hoping for a positive answer.:thumbup: now you said it gonna flash over the weekend.:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HaRdC0r3:
The ROM has nothing to do with f2fs....it's all in the kernel.

I'm running the same setup. Rasta with Franco f2fs on data and cache. After installing said kernel you format the partitions in twrp like normal then boot. You obviously wipe your sdcard if you format your data partition. Read changelogs too because Francos does not support system as f2fs and why would it too....but anyways...yeah loving the performance on this device more than ever!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] marianocopetti:
This!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
where is the instructions to do this please mate?

im running this rom with franco r82 but i havent formatted the partitions
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HaRdC0r3:
When in recovery you go to wipe>advanced wipe>check your partition to format(one at a time)>then format it to f2fs....profit!!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HaRdC0r3:
I'll give you a quick way....fortunately you'll have to figure it out. The easiest way to get this ROM installed is by first installing a custom recovery like twrp. You can use NRT nexus root toolkit to do so. I'd recommend getting your hands dirty with ADB.

This is how I do most phones and tablets for me and friends...

Boot into your bootloader and from ADB

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then reboot to recovery and format partitions

Then connect to PC and drag and drop ROM, gapps, su, and kernel. Flash everything and profit.

That's all the help I'll offer....this forum has a ton of info....help yourself please.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blossom:
My data and cache already on f2fs but I'm not using Franco kernel yet.

If I just flash franco, do I have to still format my partition to

f2fs?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
No offense, but adb has nothing to do with fastboot, aside from the command line interface.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HaRdC0r3:
But you'll need to set it up in order to execute fastboot commands.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
Not going to argue with you, but fastboot is fastboot, adb is adb. Different drivers, different commands. Fastboot is used in the bootloader. ADB is used in recovery.

If you are going to use F2FS on /data and /cache, don't format them before finished everything.

Well, I think you knew this, but just a reminder.

And all data will be gone if you format /data partition.
