Pa gapps wont work because there's a check for android version. Slim gapps works but need to delete the setup wizard or u will be stuck. Also doesn't the status bar glitch for everyone? Cant pull down for toggle
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gogol:
:(

So which GAPPS then?

Is it from the "banks" of rastapop? http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
thanks im gonna have to wait until im near a pc to back up some files, i use a chromebook but wouldnt have enough space on this, so back up my files and transfer the nandroid in case and follow those steps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gogol:
Well, my plan was success, using the Banks gapps from the rastapop rom download.

It's fast and responsive... But I notice the system using a lot of ram, more than 300 MB. At one point it was using 447 MB!

Is this normal?

I don't install a lot of apps, only handful...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] reycingef9:
Awesome, I might try your process. Didn't know you can format the partition as f2fs and use a non f2fs rom.:good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gogol:
After one evening of heavy usage, I can say this rom combination with franco kernel, system ext4, data & cache f2fs is really good. It much better than XenonHD 5.0.2 all f2fs.

Really responsive, no recent apps list bug, it's instantly! No wake of death problem!

Although I wish franco kernel can run at 1500, but yeah that's fine. I set minimum to 1200, max 1300.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dai323:
Sounds like you forgot to flash an f2fs compatible kernel. Install Franco's kernel and it should boot.

Here it is if you need it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823671

Also, when you partition to f2fs, reboot back to recovery before flashing the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kalafior12:
Does anyone have mercy and finally do allf2fs version?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
Yeah there is no writing going on on system partition so it's no use having it formated to f2fs. The biggest gain is seen if you format data and cache partitions.

Regarding the conservative governer, the latest franco kernel is set up like this by desing. Franco updated conservative governer on all of his kernels for every device he supports so that it's speedy enough and it's not heavy on the battery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dai323:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancamcal:
Anyone post a version all F2Fs of 5.1? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
This will be the last throw of the dice for me if it doesn't fix the lag and black screen I'm back to kit kat for good this ROM is better than any other Lollipop ROMs but even with Franco R82 and Nova launcher it's still lagging a bit and it's starting to get to me now, is it just the Nexus 7 which has been rendered almost useless on Android L, I'm reading users of other phones and tablets who upgraded saying how great it is but it's been nothing short of a disaster on this tablet I don't care it's 3 years old it should still be optimized for Lollipop.

I'm going to back up my files to a PC as I have access to one today and try this hopefully it'll work, if not back to KK and I'll probably not bother tinkering with this Nexus anymore.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zinko_pt:
Try 4.3 Android. Put a good launcher on top and you will have a stable and fast tablet with the looks of lp or any other theme you choose. Add a highly customizable kernel and you are ready to go.

I do sometimes feel very tempted by the feedback of some users about lp performance being good as they report. But enough is enough.

When I see a massive amount of roms and their users mostly satisfied, then I will know for sure is OK to move to.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gogol:
I was in the same boat like you, I was planning to go back to CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) as I read user said it's much better in terms of performance compared to KitKat and Lollipop, even on all-EXT4.

I tend to agree with that, because previously, I tried SlimKat (Android 4.4), it was laggy after awhile.

Then I switched to SlimLP (Android 5.0), it was terrible after awhile.

Then I switched to XenonHD 5.0.x (Android 5.0.x), it was OK, but also laggy after awhile.

All those were using M-Kernel, with overclocked CPU to 1300/1500 max, 1000 - 1200 min.

And I didn't install much apps!

Before giving up and tried CM 10.2, I gave this ROM a try after reading some satisfied testimony.

Well, it's much better than all the above for sure. Especially it doesn't have the "wake from sleep" problem.

The problem that I hate so much: Whenever I press the power button trying to wake the device, it doesn't wake, or sometimes I must wait few minutes, waiting, pressing and hoping it would wake!

With this ROM, I don't have that problem anymore. Probably because it "near stock", while other ROMs have kind of additional feature (theme engine, privacy guard, etc.).

It's already big improvement for me.

As for performance, I run this with franco kernel set to max 1300, min 1200, with INTERACTIVE governor :)

So yeah, that must help, but sacrificing battery. I got about 4 - 5 hours screen on time, playing game mostly, YouTube, Facebook, G+, browsing, etc. I don't care with battery life as I charge it everyday, as long as I can use it comfortably.

So far, I won't complain about the performance. Lag? It's not fast sometimes during loading app, but it's not terrible, really not.

One thing though, the lag occur when the free RAM is LOW. I notice this and this device with 1 GB RAM won't help much.

And there is still memory leak problem with Android 5.1 (you can Google this), it has been fixed internally by Google though.

So, there another contributing factor for lag.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ichigo_kurosaki:
I agree with you. There is slight memory leak in 5.1 but barely noticeable unlike the 5.0-0.2. Well we haven't seen yet what the true power of lollipop is.:D let's wait for 5.1.1. For the meantime great work and kudos to devs!

I haven't had any issues with this rom apart from my stock nandroid backup getting corrupted when i tried to revert to stock (1st flash of the rom i went into problems as i unintentionally restored (via TB) some system data) and failed halfway through /system partition restore. But now i am happily using this rom and wait for further improvements (5.1.1.:D)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] albysprx:
i unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 now with nrt, how to flash this rom with f2fs?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fyarf:
by searching the forums. there are many threads on how to convert filesystems, and finding a proper kernel.

Edit: there is a guide posted by a fellow user one page back. Please read before posting.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] albysprx:
i flashed it with default partition xD, but a question, i need to flash banks gapps or i can flash TKruzze gapps?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fyarf:
I used banks, as TKruzze appears to have retired and i couldnt find a mirror to his 5.1. I would have preferred his 5.1 micro package though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zinko_pt:
I must say I don´t use this ROM (back to 4.3), but the devs effort still deserves a big thanks for investing on such a old device. I thank you for being one of the few (or only one) who made a 5.1 version.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DreadApex:
Thanks [MENTION=3124065]rascarlo[/MENTION] for all that you've done for our grouper.

Does anyone know where all the older builds have gone? are they mirrored anywhere?

I'd especially love the AOSP Vanilla 4.4.4 build that was once hosted on euroskank... I can't seem to find it anywhere!

Older rastakat builds would also be something nice to have access too once again.

Am I missing something or were they removed for good, purposefully?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CCarson:
Working great

Thank you for your hard work on this. For various reasons, I'm doing everything I can to keep from replacing my aging N7 with a newer device.

I formatted cache and data with f2fs before installing. Trial and error show that I can only use franco's r82 kernel for this setup--neither m-kernel 73/74 nor phantom kernel would allow the device to boot up properly.

Also, the banks gapps (downloaded from the euroskank site) didn't work properly, as I was unable to add a Hotmail or corporate Exchange email account. But slim-L mini gapps does the job.

Thanks again!

and this is how my Nexus 7 charging with power-on and flight mode

[Nexus 7 Original Development] rascarlo:
Did you try a different cable? There must be something wrong with your USB port or USB charger. Rastapop can not interfere with charging process
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Hasuris:
r

A common problem with the N7. It seams like the charging port gets lose or something. Open up your N7, remove the charging port (very easy, there are guides how to replace it), clean it (I just blow over it), put it back together. This fixes this for me. I have to redo this every couple of weeks though.

Somehow the charging issue got better with 5.1 + Francokernel vs. 5.0.2. + M-kernel. But haven't used my N7 much since the update so I could be wrong.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] asim0:
Thanks for the 5.1; I finally rooted my n7 and converted data and cache to f2fs. I feel like I have a brand new tablet!

Little Help

Please, i just want to know somethings before flash my Nexus:

1.- Im in Stock, after wipes how i can push the Zips in my "SD" with nexus Toolkit? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475 (Or other option?)

2.- If i Use system ext4 and data & cache as f2fs i can use any ROM?

3.- If i format Data and Cache as f2fs i need to use the Franco Kernel?

4.- If i use System as ext4 and data & cahce as f2fs i can update just flashing the Updated Zip for Rastapop?

Thanks a lot
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dai323:
1. If you use twrp recovery (not sure about others), you can mount from recovery and simply drag and drop files onto your device.

2. Assuming the kernel supports it, then yes, I believe so.

3. If you want to have any partition as f2fs, you will need Franco kernel or a kernel supporting f2fs.

4. Which updated zip?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DreadApex:
1. ) using the nexus toolkit, install a TWRP recovery, which allows you to easily drag and drop files like you would with it normally. The toolkit also allows you to manually push files if you prefer.

2.) You can use any rom with a kernel that supports f2fs

3.) With Rastapop, yes. I think franco kernel is the only kernel for grouper that allows f2fs at the moment on Android 5.1.

4.) Yes, but you will also need to flash a 5.1 compatible f2fs kernel (Franco)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MikelFuchs:
4. Don't forget to flash also GoogleApps for 5.1
[Nexus 7 Original Development] albysprx:
How Can i change data and cache to f2fs?, i searched guides and asked help but nothing.. Thx
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DreadApex:
Use TWRP.

Repeat with the cache partition.

Bootloop or corrupted data partition
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kalafior12:
I thought so. Any chance for allF2FS version? I do not want to change the primary 4.4 rasta rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] buffal0b1ll:
Leave data and cache f2fs, format system ext4, flash Rasta and Franco, profit. That's what I did and it's still snappy as hell. In theory system didn't get written to anyway. It's cache and data that benefit from f2fs.

I guess the other stuff on MultiROM you'll need to consider whether to let it go
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sldier11:
First off I would like to say thanks for this great ROM.

I have a question if anyone may have experienced my issue.

I used rastapop's Advanced reboot settings to reboot into TWRP recovery. Not sure why or what happened but my user data partition must have gotten corrupted and my Nexus 7 wouldn't boot past the Google logo.

At first I thought my tablet might have the flash memory problem that so many forum's were talking about but I wiped all partitions but internal storage re-flashed this ROM, Gapps and the Franco Kernel and everything is working fine again. For the time being I won't use the Advanced reboot settings again just to be safe and will boot into bootloader the traditional way if I need to but a warning to some who might be using this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MikelFuchs:
Which kernel did you use?

If you used Franco Kernel: Did you change to F2FS for data and cache partition?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sldier11:
I'm on the latest Franco Kernel r82.

I have my data and cache formatted to f2fs.

I did update busy box to v1.23 but I don't think this could have been the problem since it installs to the system partition.

One other thing that happened to me with this new ROM was I left my tablet in airplane mode for over 8hours and when I came to pick it up again the battery drained down to 2%. This might be a 5.1 issue and a simple reboot might have fixed the issue but again I haven't experienced it again since the reflash.

I am up and running again with zero issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MikelFuchs:
When you had your potentially corrupt data partition, did you check in twrp if you had also 'Unable to stat ...' errors?

If I want to go from 5.0.2 to 5.1 w/Franco and f2fs cache and data should I be able to flash everything and then format the two partitions without any issues?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] buffal0b1ll:
My F2FS data and cache during a clean flash recipe (ASSUMES YOU HAVE A PC AND A OTG CABLE)

1. Update all apps in play store

2. Settings>storage>Clear all caches (this shrinks Chrome and G+--the biggest space offenders)

3. Delete all TiBU backups

4. Run all TiBU backups (this gets you one copy of everything so you have less stuff to move)

5. Reboot to recovery

6. Run a nandroid

7. Plug into a PC

8. Mount>enable MTP

9. Copy the following sdcard folders to PC (plus whatever else you don't wanna lose) TWRP, TitaniumBackup, DCIM/Camera, Downloads, Music

10. Plug your USB thumb drive into PC

11. Move the following zips onto USB drive: ROM, F2Fs compatible Kernel (franco), gapps (banks 4/4), supersu

12. Unplug tablet from PC and reboot recovery (this will make it so mounting errors won't make you worry when you format things later)

13. Advanced wipe, tick everything, wipe

14. Advanced wipe, tick cache, format otpions change to F2fs

15. Advanced wipe, tick data, format options change to f2fs

16. Reboot Recovery (I always do this--not sure if it's realy necessary but it makes me feel good)

17. Plug into the tablet USB thumb drive OTG

18. Mount>OTG

19. Install from OTG: ROM, F2Fs compatible Kernel, gapps, supersu

20. Mount>unmount OTG

21. Unplug OTG

22. Boot system

23. Complete welcome setup

24. Reboot recovery

25. Plug into PC

26. Mount>Enable MTP

27. Move all your stuff back

28. Mount>disable MTP

29. Unplug from PC

30. Reboot system

31. Done
