Couple of things to add.

This will erase your sdcard partition...make a backup to your PC or an external USB drive! I personally use the titanium web server. It takes a while but it works.

The kernel updater-script has a bug. I posted how to fix it in the kernel thread. I'm sure he will release a fix soon. The kernel will work, but will be missing init.d and powerhal if you don't do my fix.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JTzR:
Thanks brizey, I've updated the post with backup advice and a kernel with the updater-script fix applied!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HTCDreamOn:
Thanks, trying now. The kernel link opens the zip contents rather than downloading, so if anyone else had this problem then try this link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0Bye4pJ3MoUNgSW50WTRjc09aNHc I simply added the correct prefix to the id so it downloads straight away.

EDIT: This is awesome, this ROM was great before so only time will tell if F2FS keeps performance up over time.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JTzR:
I see what you mean about the link, not too sure what's happened there... :confused:

The link still works, you just need to click file and save, or just press ctrl s. :laugh:

F2FS build seems to be working fine (and fast) here. Using ART also.

Just curious, but couldn't one just use the RastaKat minimal Gapps over at the same page you get the ROM? http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rastakat&device=gapps

Seem to be both from the same BaNkS person, but RastaKat's has a newer date :p

Complimenti!!

I am using Rastakat allF2FS and it is incredibly smooth and reactive (superSU, either Faux or Mkernel4).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ksss:
Hi.

I am rastakat F2FS.

Anyone more has problem with FC in Settings - Security?

Have re-flashed and also made factory reset.

Also, which gAppas are you using? I always get "un-sufficient space" with paranoids gApps, so I am using slimkats. Dont thin that is the problem, still got FC even without installing gApps.

hi guys

this might turn into a sad post

I've been contacted because "a clean up of the OD forums is long overdue..." and questioned if my projects belong in the original development section.

there is a fair chance that all my threads will be deleted because this is what I've asked to the mods rather than them being moved to the android development section.

all my threads will still be open for a few days to give everybody the opportunity to ask about everything they need to know from me about my project. after that, they will all be deleted.

please keep the thread clean, we are mature gentlemen not whining kids, if they are choosing this direction, let them handle their business.

about us, it has been an honour guys

you can still find me all around euroskank and my social crap in my signature

Kernel?

Which kernel do you suggest with this ROM? M-kernel? Franco? What kernel does it come with?

I´m using stock rom with franco right now but I want to try this ROM.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pughie:
It comes with the stock kernel. This is how I'm running it but feel free to try different kernels and see what's best for you :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
I was planning on converting to data F2FS once the new Rastakat dropped. Did you convert the current build for use on F2FSAll?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JerryPi:
Im running the latest rastakat all f2fs from april that somebody posted several pages back in this thread. Together with a moded franco kernel it's running superb. Am also waiting for newer 4.4.3 version to scratch my flashing itch ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
I must have missed that. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rascarlo:
new builds are up

both vanilla and rastakat

Here is a new rastakat.

It's new because I've started from scratch. it's aosp with few little things added.

I have no idea what you people are expecting and many may get disappointed but this is what rastakat is for now. At the end of the day, I buy nexus devices because I like nexus devices but mostly because I can build my own aosp. So, this is what rastakat really is, aosp. I like her like that because I know what I am doing and I am not going ahead of myself.

Peace guys

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ambyy:
why can't i install it? coming from purity rom 4.4.3 based, latest TWRP
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
I remember this happen on EX4 too. Try this:

After flashing error appeared, reboot to bootloader and then enter recover again.

Don't wipe this time. Flash ROM and it should be okay.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] brizey:
It does on my N7. Any ROM will. You just have to convert the updater script and use an appropriate kernel. I don't use the tool in the other section, I just cut and paste the f2fs mount and format commands to replace the ext4 commands for system in the updater script, then flash the ROM then flash metallice's kernel. And the latest TWRP format conversion works.

The mount and format system commands for f2fs:

Replace these:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");

...with these:

run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

So make an f2fs zip for the ROM, and get a copy of an f2fs kernel like Metallice's test 4 (I had to modify his script, by the way,,,check the thread). If you are windows user, I recommend using notepad++ to edit because its smart enough to use char10's instead of char13's when editing a unix/linux file. I use 7izp to extract and rezip the ROM file/

I personally use UTG usb stick for the N7 for nandroids and titanium. So do those. You need them to be OFF of the N7.

Then in TWRP convert system, data and cache to f2fs. YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA! That's why you nandroid and TiBU to the OTG stick.

Reboot back into recovery for each. You may throw an error because you blew away data/media and TWRP does not know where to look for the sdcard mount point. Irrelevant if you use an OTG stick...just change TWRP over to the stick default.

Then flash the converted ROM, the f2fs kernel and gapps. And SU or SuperSU if you are using this ROM and want root. No need to convert those either I have found.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
Not to go too far ot here, but do you see a significant performance boost in F2FS All vs. F2FS Data? The latter has made a huge difference on my grouper and based on some F2FS discussion in the N5 Philz BU thread, I'm inclined to believe that Data is where the biggest gain is to be found. In other words, I know it's possible to convert the rom, but is it worth the trouble? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] brizey:
Probably not, but I do it anyway, lol. My N7 is mostly used by my son. I usually mess with it maybe every two or three weeks. Once I moved the twrp and titanium backups to the otg stick things go a lot faster. I have a Kingston one that is micro usb on one side and standard usb on the other, and it was designed specifically for otg so it powers fine off the tablet. So I download to my pc, edit the updater script, copy it to the otg stick, then plug it in to the n7, backup and flash. Only adds maybe a minute or two to the procedure. I have the two lines I posted above in a text file ready to copy. At some point I think the ROM devs will just do the logic in the scripts, similarly to the unified cm builds for popular devices. (Not a call out to our dev here, just a blanket statement). Or the recoveries will detect and adjust, or universal binaries will come about.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
Mine is used for reading and also is the remote for my home theater system.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] HTCDreamOn:
The main improvement you'll see isn't immediate, you'll only see it after a period of time: For whatever reason the performance of our N7s degrades pretty quickly on ext4 (I noticed a drop within days of a new flash) whereas on f2fs performance stays consistently high. I reckon f2fs all could be better than data, it should in theory, I doubt f2fs system makes much difference but cache is a performance killer so I guess if you've got /cache formatted to f2fs it should help. It doesn't take much being as you've already formatted /data which is the worst step (because of having to back up etc.) but if you use the MultiROM TWRP recovery you can format partitions to f2fs individually. So yeah you may as well :p

[MENTION=3124065]rascarlo[/MENTION] is this (and all the other AOSP 4.4.3 ROMs) KTU84M for any reason other than because you build for multiple devices including the N5 (which is KTU84M)? I'm planning on building my own AOSP ROM so was confused as to why all the AOSP ROMs in the dev forum are KTU84M and not KTU84L being as by looking at the code the only difference is the build number? Also, according to Google KTU84M is N5 only? Thanks :) my N7 is flying thanks to you

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr.Miyagi555:
Hey guys,

im confused on how to install this with F2FS. I am on a very old rom of vanir and i just updated my twrp with goo manager. I have downloaded Rasta and Gapps. What exactly are the prodcedures to install this from with F2FS? i even forgot what i have to wipe to install the rom, i admittedly wiped the internal one time when flashing and went through some trouble trying to get the n7 working again. I am a noob but atleast im here asking for some advice .

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
Well for F2FS Data, which would allow you to run Rastakat without modifying it, I used This guide by Legolas as well as his version of TWRP and Lego kernel. I'm still using Legokernel, but have since updated to the lastest official TWRP, since it now supports F2FS. If you want to go F2FSAll, it will necessitate modifying this rom (or most any other) with this utility or manually as brizey describes in this post a few pages back. Personally, I don't feel it's worth the extra trouble to go F2FS All, but whatever you do, make sure to back up your data because it will be wiped. I used a OTG cable and a flash drive and it worked well.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr.Miyagi555:
thanks for the information and advice adrman. So TWRP off goo manager is fine then. Is there a benefit from running rasta with F2FSAll? Lets say i want to try F2FSAll, I unzipped rasta and changed 2 lines in the updater script. then i took a F2FS kernel (M-kernel a68 i think its a beta) and unzipped it, took the boot img and pasted it in rasta(overwriting the old boot img). then i zipped everything back up. does this seem correct? am i good to go to install?

I dont have a OTG cable but im going to order one. What is the most common kernel used with Rasta? I've seen people use M-kernel and franco but haven't heard about legolas.

Between Rasta and Vanilla, Rasta has more features while Vanilla is more of a bare bones right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adrman:
I'm not sure what version of TWRP is on goo. I used what is linked in my reply to you and then updated with what is linked here on XDA. I'm also unsure about your plan with m-kernel. In theory it should work, but I'd have a good backup and the means to restore it ready if it doesn't. As far as what's the most common, the pickings are pretty slim when it comes to grouper and f2fs. You'll have to try and see what's best for you. M-kernel doesn't support f2fs data, so I haven't used it. Read the thread I linked. It has a link to Legolas' kernel and there's also a thread here, just search. Vanilla rasta is pure AOSP from source. Regular Rasta has a few tweaks that you can find in the change log. The best advice I can give is read, then read more, then backup.

Ras,

I've always used Trinity kernels with your roms, both this one, and on the Gnex (Toro). Morfic hasn't updated his grouper kernel in over a year, do you recommend continuing with it, sticking with the one included in the Rom, or something else?

Thanks, as always, for your effort and great work!

I flashed back to 4.4.3 and the it goes back to normal. I even tried the stock 4.4.4 from euroskank and even there all is good. For comparison my n5 with the latest rastakat rom doesn't have this issue.
