OK.

After my installation Lollipop over OTA, and disappointment with functionality of new android, and after searching how to resolve my problem, I run on this rom, which as I could read will satisfy my needs.

But, I have some dilemmas.

I want to install f2fs version of this rom, as I could see last version is rastapop_grouper_F2FS_20141121. I saw that there is ROM from 25.11.2014. but for start this won't be much problem.

Second, my dilemma is should I install twrp 2.8.2 or 2.7.0 - because my 2.7.0 is allf2fs and I don't know is twrp 2.8.2 support f2fs.

Third, as I saw, I don't have to do anything particular for f2fs. Just tu do next few steps:

1. Copy rastapop_grouper_F2FS_20141121 to tablet.

2. Copy GApps (for lollipop)

3. Copy FormatPartitions.zip

4. Reboot in recovery (2.8.2 or 2.7.0 allf2fs)

5. Flash FormatPartitions.zip

6. Reboot recovery - don't know why, but I red it should.

7. Flash rastapop_grouper_F2FS_20141121

8. Flash GApps

9. Then I should format data (and should wipe whole storage)

10. Reboot

Can somone tell my for this twrp and is my procedure correct.

I am on rooted lollipop, and I am ready to speed up my device on this 5.0:D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] robgee789:
When I swapped to f2fs I used twrp 2.7.1.1 mate and I backed up what I needed then put the rom and gapps and things on a thumb drive then used twrp and go to wipe/advanced then change them one by one then mount USB and flash rom and other things
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ConstantineTheGreat:
Your method I can't apply because I don't have USB OTG. But you helped me with twrp, as you used ordinary 2.7.1.1 I suppose that after 2.7.0 all twrp support f2fs.

But, can you explain me bolded text "change them one by one", everything else I understood.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] robgee789:
When you go to wipe/advanced you need to tick the system box then hit the change or repair button then choose change to f2fs then do the same for cache and data and your good to go

Here is a guide mate http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53890003
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dai323:
Anyone uploaded an F2fs version, or do we still need to convert it ourselves?

EDIT: Never mind...I found it :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ConstantineTheGreat:
Bro, you resolved all my problems.

I do myself a problem, because I was impatient, done installation on my way, and naturally, I stuck on Google screen.

So, I had to do it on longer way.

First I installed correct recovery, but then, something got wrong with my adb driver, so I couldn't move rom, gapps and kernel to device.

I lost my time with installing driver, and then when I push everything to device, I installed rom and everything, and again got stuck at Google screen. This time, I new where I was mistaken, restarted device into recovery, then first wiped dalvik cache, system, cache and data, and then do everything you said above. Then installed rom, gapps and kernel, and everything goes well.

Right now, I am syncing apps but, as I could see my device is flying like a rocket. Original lollipop like a turtle compared with this.

Thanks again :good::good:

[MENTION=4447351]robgee789[/MENTION] I did the F2FS conversion a long time ago, tried last night but I borked it, so I reverted back to stock, rooted and good to go again. Do I need to convert the ROM and gapps to F2FS first or can I convert recovery then flash?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] robgee789:
No idea what you mean mate what ROM ? I havnt converted this ROM to f2fs
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PapaMag:
Trying to follow the recommendations you posted for converting TWRP to F2FS. I don't have OTG so just trying to figure out how to get this done. Been through the steps a couple times but I guess it's over my head.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] robgee789:
I posted a link to a very good guide that tells you how to use adb to flash your ROM if you don't have a USB otg
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PapaMag:
Yes you did just me and my dead brain cells trying to put it in action. Thanks again for the reply's and the link. In the previous post I meant the rom not your rom by the way sorry about that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] robgee789:
No worries mate, I got confused because I converted a few kit Kat ROMs to f2fs lol but if you need any more help just holla

I tried to get backuptool working working with this but so far it's a no go... I'll keep trying though. So you have to flash gapps when you flash the rom.

1. Flash rom

2. Flash your favorite f2fs lp kernel

3. Flash gapps

There is an app for android converting to f2fs in Play Store. It does not support lollipop yet, but You can.convert it and flash favorite kernel. It does the job.

Sent from mobile
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GreyCelt:
I'm curious... The app will convert what? Are you saying that it will convert a Lollipop ROM to f2fs even though it says its not supported? It looks like that app hasn't been updated since July too.

Sent from my Nexus 7 2012 AOSP F2FS-all ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] voyteckst:
Yes. It changes install script and probably ramdisk, that's why You must flash kernel after installing Rom.

I tested it and it works :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dai323:
This. I bought this app because so many says it works with lollipop, but for me after converting ROM partition is still formatted to ext 4 every time :(

Odd that it works for some and not for others.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Thanks! Mind sharing how you are converting? Play store app doesn't work for me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] espaciosalter20:
I think that [MENTION=5688594]adomol[/MENTION] has explained before how to do it... Simple as change the format command on the update-script at the zip... Instead of format partition with ext4 filesystem, the command looks for recovery to format using f2fs-tools... That's why we all need newer versions of recovery because those have f2fs-tools integrated on source

Enviado desde mi AOSP on Grouper mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dai323:
Thanks! So it's literally just a matter of changing that one command in the script from "ext4" to "f2fs" and rezipping the ROM?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] buffal0b1ll:
It's more complicated than that. Because this ROM is packaged in block, just changing the scripts won't work.

hey bro,

i want to ask something about your rom.:D i am using it and on the first update of the ROM last 1125, i reflashed everything from superSU, GApps and Busybox. Flashed the rom on top of my 1120 build of rastapop. so now, about this newest version, do i need to flash everything again to have root and GApps?:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
ROM, GApps, SuperSU.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dcaglia:
Then wipe cache & dalvik ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
I can't say I've really found that to be necessary on dirty flash updates (especially since dalvik doesn't exist anymore), but it certainly doesn't hurt and YMMV. ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kalafior12:
Can someone upload f2fs version of latest build? Many thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GtrCraft:

I hope someone can point us on how to solve this problem

[Nexus 7 Original Development] PreemPalver:
I can confirm that this rom with f2fs and m-kernel runs amazingly smoothly.

Only thing I miss from CM12 is BLE support. Is it possible to add?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] manulemaboul:
What is BLE ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] luckyrumo:
Bluetooth Low Energy
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PreemPalver:
Bluetooth low energy, technology required by almost all wearable devices nowadays
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bigmook:
I don't think they were able to include btle on grouper. They would have had to get recertified with the FCC. It would be nice to have though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PreemPalver:
They already did it on cyanogenmod. There is even an app on play store to enable ble on grouper and I would buy it if dev doesn't charge 7,50 €
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rascarlo:
about BLE, I can try and revert this aosp commit (https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/grouper/+/b3f3407a03f00880f9ab5ea148eb7de8680303fc) and see.

but I have to grouper to test on

if you guys can help with this, I would be more than happy to re-enable BLE for your groupers
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PreemPalver:
Thank you. I'll be glad to help you. I like this rom and I would like to stick with it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] androidbuilder:
I flash the build.

the browser is not working. anything wrong?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] judhin:
Flash the gapps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fKm:
I can't get busybox to work with the last build. In Trickster Mod every changeable setting is labeled with Busybox and the version number. When I try to install busybox with busybox on rails it says that there are some applets missing and I can't install it properly.

Last ROM with all-f2fs.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] manulemaboul:
Had the very same issue, it fixed itself when I flashed bricked kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fKm:
Oh okay, when it is a kernel issue I am gonna head over to the kernel thread ;) Thank you mate
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PreemPalver:
I solved by installing another kernel manager app, aero kernel.

How do i make this ROM f2fs? I'm really interested now seeing a lot of positive feedback about it.

There are some apps in the playstore that convert the rom to f2fs.

Either way, a respected member has already uploaded the latest build converted to f2fs a couple of pages ago.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rascarlo:
Following up my idea of a virtual power menu in the expanded status bar, I've gone further and implemented a customizable onClick and onLongClick setting. Thoughts?

That's a pretty neat feature.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pughie:
Looks great
[Nexus 7 Original Development] judhin:
Also the ability to open extended notification center with single swipe would be nice.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aquavalanche:
i don't know how it would be implemented but adding an on/off toggle would be nice for those who didn't want the feature ;)

nevermind, imgur was blocked from my home ISP and using proxy now I can see the option is already there in the image :eek:

As always...

As always (and as Rascarlo has in his instructions), no need to wipe if coming from a previous version of Rastapop 5.0.

1) Flash rom

2) Flash gapps

3) Flash SuperSU

4) Wipe cache

5) Reboot

[Nexus 7 Original Development] brolic925t:
Sorry to be the noob but what exactly does f2fs do?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] luckyrumo:
It's a different file system (default is ext4), i.e. a way to store/organize your files on the flash storage. As F2FS is optimized for flash (ext4 was built for magnetic drives), it's faster on phones.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mlbl:
well let's just say f2fs brings new life to our n7 2012...the nand is really bad, so with f2fs the overall performance is perfect.

btw [MENTION=5688594]adomol[/MENTION] how do you convert the rom to support f2fs? is there some sort of tool?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] manulemaboul:
AllF2FS for the win, I tried all ext4, system ext4 with cache and data f2fs, allF2FS is always faster. This ROM with allF2FS + bricked kernel max CPU freq 1.5 makes my grouper as fast as my mako with sykopompo's ROM and unleashed kernel, amazing. It's like a brand new device :)

I must say that I am not in favor nor against any particular kernel. But...

-i am against anything that cannot be flashed through recovery. Reasons suffice.

-All kernels have its pros and cons depending of your setup, apps you have.. Gadget usage, etc. Some are good for daily usage, some performance are good for gaming, etc.

-I have had bad luck with Trinity. It could be just my setup, but have had reboots, sod. Bricked. 55 s a great kernel, but has not been updated since 4.1.2 and had reboots with this ROM.

-As said before, have used. Latest _Motly and Faux 013 with excellent results.. Not a glitch. Currently on Faux 013m
