my n7 is running stock rom 5.1 , franco kernel , & rooted, can i flash this rastapop?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sldier11:
This new 5.1.1 r1 ROM runs really well on franco r82 kernel and F2FS for data and cache.

The r5 ROM was slow, not sure if anyone else thought so. I also togggled off the Fsync setting in my kernel with tricksterMod , maybe this is where the extra speed is coming from.

But I'm happy, thank you to the dev

my 5.1.1_r1 are getting stuck at black screen after several changes i make in terms of disable some items in rom by going to apps. also now i am getting e: unable to stat, data/date/com.google.xxx some error.. i can't do any twrp backup because they fail.. is there a way i can fix it.. i think my data partition maybe corrupted from my search. can someone point me to right direction?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] five²squared:
If you can still get into recovery, you might have to reflash the ROM. If you're not using the latest TWRP (2.8.6) and the latest SuperSU (v2.46) flash those too. The new TWRP partitions your memory for f2fs nicely. Unless you don't have a recent backup of your data or there are some things you can't just reinstall, just start fresh.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MikelFuchs:
Which twrp did you use to format data and cache to F2FS?

Did you restore apps with titanium?

Which kernel did you use when this happened?

This f2fs corruption already happened to some users here, it's not yet clear what causes it.

Unfortunately the only solution so far is to start all over again, that's why I'm currently still on ext4 and waiting for a solution to use f2fs again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] 3XTR3M1ST:
can my tilapia use this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nycelitemaster:
I used twrp 2.8.6.0 (latest). I noticed if you mess around with safe mode, hot reboot, and quick reboot also causes corruption. If you need to reboot. Shut it down and turn it on.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Fobos531:
Which kernels can I use with this ROM and is it compatible with F2FS?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
Franco r82 works great with f2fs data and cache and the latest rastapop.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Fobos531:
I'm confused a bit installing all this. This is my current setup: stock 5.1.0 + Franco kernel r82 with /data and /cache formatted to F2FS.

Will the installation of this ROM overwrite the kernel with its own?

Can I install it like this?

1. reboot to recovery

2. full wipe(i repeat, /cache and /data are already F2FS)

3. wipe cache

4. flash build

5. flash gapps

6. flash supersu

7. flash franco kernel(either thru recovery or fastboot)

8. boot the rastapop

Will it work that way?

P.S. full wipe is wipe system, data and cache(only cache, not dalvik cache)? that's it? or more partitions?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
Everything seems alright, although you don't have to wipe the system. Factory reset in twrp will do just fine. And yes after every flash of the rom you have to also flash the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sdho:
I'm not sure if you're on F2FS with Franco before. I had to load Franco's kernel into Rasta's zip file manually.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] smartpr1v4t3:
Rastapop and Franco r82 is not working for me with f2fs on data and cache

The tablet crashes completly after setting up the device and booting into recovery
[Nexus 7 Original Development] schalmers:
From what I have read you can't use the reboot to recovery option. Power down and boot to recovery using the buttons when on f2fs. This has been mentioned a few times in the past few pages
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
Im on f2fs and have absolutely no issues with reboot options corrupting my data. I had some issues a while ago with unable to stat error in recovery and some apps not working. I then reinstalled everything from scratch on ext4 made a backup formated cache and data to f2fs and restored my backup and it's been working great since then.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] alematt:
Did someone succeded in boot this rom with multiboot?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
Downloading now
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MikelFuchs:
Which combination of ROM and kernel are you using now?

Which twrp version did you use to change data and cache to f2fs?

I was getting "unable to stat" errors also, now I keep on ext4.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
I use the latest rastapop based on android 5.1.1 and latest franco kernel r82 with f2fs file system on data and cache. I did all of backing up and restoring with the latest twrp version 2.8.6.0.

Also used to randomly get unable to stat errors but since i set up my device with ext4 on data and cache, backed it up formated data and cache to f2fs and restored my backup everything works great.

And yes i checked and restoring ext4 backup on f2fs doesn`t change partitions back to ext4. Actualy my tablet feels faster than it was even on kitkat with all f2fs :cool:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] smartpr1v4t3:
Thank you very much. Its working when i boot with the hardware buttons into the recovery.

I use now Data and Cache with F2FS. Set-Up created everything with TWRP 2.8.6

Anybody know which part is this error creating, that the device crashes when we boot from Rom into Recovery?

Rom, Kernel, Recovery related?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Makxx:
This ROM is the best; simple, smooth, and stable. I have yet to test battery life, but from previous experience with Rasta ROMs, I'm pretty sure it would still be great.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Reiven89:
Does this rom includes a permission control for the apps? thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] noldar:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
It's not for everyone but has made a difference, i formatted data and started from scratch and it's running smoothly, when you first boot the nexus it does tend to take while before it's smooth as it seems to freeze but now it's running smoothly with Nova launcher and Franco kernel.

I thought this rom wasn't compatible with F2FS but it just turns out it takes an excruciatingly long time to boot up so it is totally fine if you're waiting upwards of 5 minutes on that first boot. Using it with Franco r82 too, and so far so good :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Prof Peach:
Been trying out a few tweaks as I hate the inherent lag that arrived with lollipop.

Some are OK for a while but don't last long. Some do little.

I tried f2fs data and cache and not really feeling much difference.

I stumbled on a mod from a few years back. Designed to speed up ext4 performance.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41462770

Been using it a few days on latest build with franco r82 and the lag has disappeared completely. Even after deep sleep the tablet is immediately snappy and fast. By far the best I've had from lollipop.

One thing I liked was a zip install and a zip uninstall if you want to revert. Give it a try if you are on all ext4. You might be surprised. (Do so at your own risk obviously. Make a nandroid 1st. Read the thread or contact the op if you want more details)

So far so good definitely not a placebo effect it does seem somewhat snappier, I'll give it bit longer to see if it holds up.

I'm currently downloading the latest update for this ROM I'm wondering if I have to flash this script again (probably not)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
Folks if you flash the update to the ROM after flashing everything wait until everything updates go back a few minutes later and flash this script it appears not to work otherwise, after updating the ROM it still felt a little laggy but this script definitely works.

Obviously do a nandroid backup, and don't wipe cache or dalvik.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mikle_01:
Could report he same! After flash Franco Kernel v.82 and this script on my Nexus 7 Grouper with Rastapop 5.1.1 ROM the device become fast(er) and more "lagless". Really great....thanks!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] garryboy:
To be honest I have ran lots of lollipop ROMs on f2fs on my n7 and seen no improvement in performance only lag lag lag. I opted for this ROM and went back to ext4. Was the best move I have made. Best performing lollipop ROM by far IMHO.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tpuserhp:
Question on Franco kernel

If I just flash the Franco kernel without using f2fs, would I see any performance gain? Does it worth it? If I run into problem with Franco kernel, can I just reinstall the rastapop ROM?. I will take up a backup first and restore it if required. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
Hey, you should see some performance gain with franco kernel even without going to f2fs for data and cache. Franco made some adjustments to the governer and other optimizations. You should give it a try to se if its a noticable increase for you. If you are rooted its as easy as flashing the kernel in recovery, you dont even have to mess with the settings as its already set up. To go back to stock kernel just reflash the rom.

Thanks JerryPi. I will give Franco kernel a try and hope to see some improvements from it.

still struggling to get gapps and the latest build on, gave up on keeping my data last night, followed instructions on delta gapps and factory reset, then formatted system partition, and still no playstore, rastapop flashes fine, and ive checked my md5s and downloads are all fine. i tried a full wipe as above, then rastapop then delta base gapps, no joy, tried a full wipe as above with rastapop then pa micro gapps still the same, i get play services but no playstore.

also tried with full wipe as above rastapop r3 and latest banks gapps with same result - no play store

ended up doing another wipe, and back to previous build rastapop 5.1.1_r2 and banks gapps L 4 28 15 and fine as before, play store and everything fine. anyone got any ideas?

You shouldn't have to do this, but try it anyway. Flash RastaPop, boot into the rom without installing GApps, then boot back to recovery and flash the base GApps package.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
The rom as it is doesn't support f2fs in any form, so you will have to flash a custom kernel like franco. Lollipop roms on grouper in the current state dont support f2fs on system, but you can have f2fs on data and cache if you flash the right kernel.

Then i rebooted back to recovery changed data and cache to f2fs and flashed gapps, kernel and super su and let it boot and it was all good.

I have only tried franco r82 and metallice a77 with data and cache formated to f2fs. I think metallices kernel ran a bit faster, even though i had both set to 1.3ghz. Metallices kernel also has an option for overclocking, and dimming the backlight. I personally went back to rastakat and metallice a70 with allf2fs and am finally happy with its performance.

For f2fs to work you have to install a custom kernel which supports it like Franco or metallice. Lollipop roms can only run data and cache formated to f2fs, system has to remain on ext4.
