After flashing, it seems the memory is gone, am I able to delete anything from these directories? /storage/emulated/0/, /storage/emulated/legacy/, and /storage/sdcard0/

I have <3 Gb with no games, vids or images. The largest app is Pulse, nothing larger than 100MB. Viewing storage, the values don't add up to 16 GB.

Dirty flash?

DariusF, can I do dirty flash from PURITY 27/11 rom?

If yes, how is the right way?

Is it should be like this?

1. FACTORY RESET

2. INSTALL ROM, GAPPS

3. WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE

4. REBOOT
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
Dirty flash.. Step 2 & 4 only
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tcat007:
I did 2, 3, 4 and an fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] WeWearFedoras:
So i installed this ROM and M-kernel and so far it's great!! I did have one weird thing happen... Here's my order for installing everything...

1. Factory reset

2. Install ROM

3. Install PA mini gapps

4. Install m-kernel

5. Wipe dalvik cache

6. Wipe internal storage for that extra clean feeling

When it booted up everything was still setup. I didn't have to setup my name or WiFi passwords and all my apps were still installed!! It was the weirdest thing. I'm not complaining just have no idea how this happened especially considering i wiped my internal storage...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] apis10:
Just flashed this with M kernel and it makes the n7 fly!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
Nice and smooth!

ART works just ok and my curiosity about it is done :D

BTW when ART enabled, first app took about 10-15 sec to load, but after that everything worked well.

i'm really satisfied :)

Thanks dev(s).

I know not many people put a lot of stock in benchmark scores. All I can tell you that using the purity KitKat ROM with the xperience kitkat kernel I have had zero problems and an Antutu benchmark well over 16000. Every single other KitKat kernel has been in the low to mid 15's. So far so very good.

I flashed this on my nexus 7 (2012) and seemed to have lost the native dialer. I had dialer shortcuts that would use Grooveip, that worked on 4.3 Purity, but now they say "voice calling not supported". Groove ip works fine from within the app, but not the launcher direct dial shortcuts. Can a system dialer be flashed? Where to find it?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
Even less stock with mystery Benchmark ;)

AnTuTu?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] andrew9292:
Having poor performance when browsing web on all browsers.

Page loads are jittery, double tap zoom causes flicker, stuttering scroll.

Chrome, Stock, Firefox, Dolphin.

Latest purity with stock kernel. Tried m-kernel, same thing.

All is fine on stock google 4.4 rom and kernel.

Upgrading from Purity JB4.2

I'm on Purity JB 4.2 based.

What steps do I have to do in order to install this KK version safely?

Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
It is recommended flashing 4.4 factory image. Do a clean flash for sure.

Then do steps like custom recovery and then wipe all, flash purity 4.4 !
[Nexus 7 Original Development] carpon:
why this rom depend on stock kernel ?! not like previous version has its own kernel ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slebit:
This ROM has always used stock kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] carpon:
:eek:

in 4.3 i used to use purity rom + purity kernel

Just installed Franco r76 kernel...finally some love for us Grouper fans...battery seems good. Chrome browser seems to refresh every time when i pinch and expand.. Frustrating

[Nexus 7 Original Development] chiwou:
couldn't install PA gapps, the script says it's not a compatible 4.4 rom.

I think there is something wrong, banks gapps install fine.

FYI can install the same gapps on my nexus 4 with purity :D

//update

nevermind, did download the latest 4.3 version 29/10 ;) KK 29/11 :p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] andrew9292:
I have a simillar problem. I just came from Purity latest 4.2.2 to 4.4 so differences are still fresh in my mind.

All browsers are jittery, laggy, jumpy and flickerish on 4.4. Only the render/canvas area. The browser app itself and all other apps are silky smooth.

Weird.

Only browser that works well now is Dolphin + Dolphin Jetpack (must). It's so fast and silky smooth.

Not sure if problem with all browsers on 4.4 or rom side issue. It seems better on stock rom though.

Again, dolphin + dolphin jetpack is simply amazing...

Purity 4.4 with franco r76 + ART leaves everything else in dust! So grateful!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] tcat007:
I asked this earlier with no response, anyone else with this issue?

Did something happened to "Dialer" or "Phone" going from 4.3 to 4.4? I lost my direct dial shortcuts going from Purity 4.3 to 4.4 on my Nexus 7. I use them as shortcuts to GrooveIP, they now say: "Voice calling not supported"
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Doominq:
[MENTION=1982207]DariosF[/MENTION] man, You make awesome work !! My N7 is flying. Incredible smooth and performance. What is the most important to me, this rom is very clean, only the most important options, everything works perfect like stock.

Thank You!

Its recommend to dirty flash over 4.4 or clean one? Tks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tcat007:
I've dirty flashed 4.4 over 4.3 without issues (both Purity). About to dirty flash 12/2.

OK so I keep getting a failed install when trying to flash the newest version of this rom. I've re-downloaded it 2 different times and still no go. what am I doing wrong? I'm coming from cm 10.1.3 I wiped everything and flashed through twrp. Is their a certain recovery I need to flash this with?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtygoldfish:
Are you using TWRP 2.6.3.0?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] btaylor545:
No 2.4 I found the thread thanks I'll update twrp and try again. Thanks for the help

sweet I haven't played around with ART yet but it makes sense that grouper would benefit

I'll play around with it after work. love this rom with dalvik so much already!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RealCaracas:
I enabled ART, and it really feels faster... But some games (for my baby) didn't work :eek:, so I went back to Dalvik....

I'll wait so devs can have more time playing with it and update theri apps... :D

Wow got the ROM installed and so nice and smooth compared to 4.2.2. It's keeping up a lot better with my new phone, keep up the great work guys!

Art does seem to help our N7, it's definitely feeling faster to me.

Thanks Dario for the great work. :)

Just installed this rom and its so fast but i cant find the camera app and.also i cant use themes with this rom?thx
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
the camera is hidden by default. you need a shortcut app like this to directly access it.

oh thx!what about themes?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nostromo76:
Where to find Franco?

Please, could you tell me where (link) to find latest Franco Kernel?

Thank you very much for your patience!

Regards, Nostromo.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtygoldfish:
Theme chooser hasn't been added to the ROM yet (and not sure if the dev plans to do so). You could always use Xposed to apply themes though.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] andrew9292:
By benchmark and numbers? Maybe you wanna wait for this thread for testing to be done

If you wanna OC, M kernel can take you up to 1.6GHz.

If you wanna UV, M kernel has voltage control over GPU, RAM, CPU, FSB or something.

So it may outperform franco's in gaming after oc-ing and uv-ing

But id take franco anyday until development of purity kernel by eng.stk continues.

I find that franco is smoother. I never oc tho.

Just my experience. Best for u to experience it and decide which is better yourself.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] r-l:
i can't flash franco kernel .. i get an error in twrp
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slebit:
Flash it with fastboot or use Franco Kernel Updater.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] r-l:
did it a few minutes ago with fastboot :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tagari:
Thanks for sharing your experience.. :)

When i used stock KitKat i thought of OC'ing because i found it somewhat choppy (maybe compared to my N4 it amplified that feeling).Now that i'm using this awesome ROM it is much more smooth..So mostly i care about battery both standby and screen on time but not i don't want to underclock or sacrifice a lot of performance..I've never actually tried franco for a long time,i've had issues back in 4.2 and 4.3(mostly)..One last question..Which app are you using for modifying kernel stuff?Trickster/Fauxclock/FKU? I have a gift card but not enough balance to buy all 3 of them. Thanks in advance..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gsw5700:
Guys, does full 2nd user functionality work OK?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] andrew9292:
You're welcome, for tweaking kernel settings i use tricker free version. Find that it has good support over many kernels and gives just what i need. If you wanna tinker with more advance settings u'll need the paid version or those developer apps you mentioned. So it really depends how far you would like to go tweaking.

I managed to UV on M kernel previously with 4.2.2, gave me abt 7-8 hrs screen

-100mv CPU

-100mv GPU

- 50mv everything else

- limit cpu max freq to 1300MHz. Cant uv that much on stock max of 1500

- decrease backlight minimum to 7. I use my device alot in a dim room at night

Every device is different tho n you will need to learn your device and what u're looking for.

The whole exprience pays off in the end imo.

Using franco cuz i really find that his tegra3 driver tweaks helps bring out performance.

Need it for my flight simulator games =D

Non gaming screen on gives me 6-7 hrs, just browsing n social networking. Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gsw5700:
Whooaa, this ROM is great, very fast, 2nd user all working great, great job, thanks. Just one question, my android weather widget isn't displaying data for the 2nd user as it cant locate the position , but, the 2nd user can locate position using Google maps, anyone got any ideas.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jon7701:
Im having an issue with lockups after the screen gets turned off. I've wiped the everything and redownloaded the rom and i still have the issue. When i lock the screen it wont wake up after that. It says in logcat that it does wake up but the screen never turns back on. Soon after that logcat said that a whole bunch of services died( Its not in the logcat i have.) Any ideas?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] amitabhr:
From the changelog it seems that this has BLE (bluetooth low energy / bluetooth smart) enabled for Grouper.

Is that correct ? No other ROM has BLE enabled for KitKat on Nexus 7 wifi 2012.

Just want to confirm before flashing. Have tried gazillion things to get BLE enabled on 4.4 but to no avail..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] carpon:
which kernel do you recommend with this rom ?!

M-kernel , Franco , or another one ?!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] yukkio:
Oxydo, for me the best [MENTION=1007294]battery[/MENTION]/performance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
Kernel

for me on my Nexus 7 the xperience kernel has set a much higher benchmark score (Antutu) than all others i tested.

bricked, lean, franco, m-kernel, faux and oxydo. i love oxydo. on 4.3 it outscored everything, but on 4.4 for me xperience

tested the highest. again, this post will only be of concern to those that put stock in benchmark scores. and of

course each nexus 7 runs a little different. but i'm happy with this combo and that's what matters.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] r-l:
Okay, i'm gonna say it before this will be a **** fight (mine is bigger than yours)

Most people don't give **** about benchmark scores (like me), most people just want a smooth tablet without any lag.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
as i said...

that's why i said in post that my comments would only mean something to those that put stock in benchmark scores.

as i know many people don't. but i do appreciate you reiterating my point.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bonzer2u:
Hmmm, I usually notice less lag and snappier performance when my scores average higher.....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
That's what benchmarks do they cloud your judgment...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NetFluke:
This is truly one great, lean and fast ROM. One more issue though - "location" (GPS) tile in quick settings panel does not work properly (it can only disable GPS and its symbol never changes).

Great work otherwise - thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gsw5700:
Yeah, no working GPS, this also means no location fix for 2nd user so weather widget not working, although it works for primary user!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Sowould this Rom be smoother than PA but with the phablet/tablet interface and interface settings still?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
Sure.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Are the linaro chains specific to the kernel, or do they effect the Rom build itself?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DariosF:
No, Linaro optimizations are rom related. Purity rom has stock kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Thanks a lot for the helpful answers! Will try the Rom in a bit
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
One strange thing is that when you change the dpi a la buildprop (I tried 160), things didnt expand to the sides of the screen, and for some reason the background changed to the leaf one. Otherwise pretty smooth running rom so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
If you want a linaro kernel go with lean kernel. Imoseyon is an android genius and alot of the VM tweaks that people use across all devices were created by imoseyon (leankernel dev)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] extortion00:
Has anyone else besides me experienced the battery getting stuck at 100% not sure what's causing my issue
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tambourineman86:
Try wiping battery stats after you fully charge it. Sounds like you flashed a new ROM at a low battery percentage a time or two.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
If you just set your wallpaper again everything should be fine.

I'm using 160DPI too as its a true tablet DPI. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Settings and such are off-sized at 160dpi though, there is a margin around the screen.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm... take a screenshot??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
Will have to reinstall, switched to another rom for the time being. Will let you know if I do
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
I've been on 160 for a while now and dont notice issues you're describing.

Its defnitely true tablet UI.

Btw, screenshot is vol down + power.

Believe me its not the ROM. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
As you can see, app drawer does not extend to edges, neither does trebuchet home screen, lock screen clock loses center alignment, and the menu items are a bit off kilter.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] CamoGeko:
Dude thats just normal Tablet UI.

To fix the wide border use Apex or Nova launcher.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pinktank:
It's not normal tablet UI though, see how wireless&networks is spaced from the top, and the rest of the options are indented from their headers, that usually doesn't happen with other roms when I change the dpi. It's really no big deal, I was just pointing it out.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DariosF:
It happens because i don't have tablet ui patch in my code. It's just stock Google layout...:good: P.S. Testing v5.3.1...
