Yes, I realized that could be confusing and edited that part out, but the formats for the system and cache partitions, as well as the dalvik cache, are unnecessary since they are wiped by the updater-script for the ROM. You can verify that yourself very easily.

And multiple wipes for the same object(s) are never required.

Edit: Also my statement about "dirty" flash still stands when coming from another ROM, since the "Pure White Smoke Signals" ROM doesn't have to be flashed over B7.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] 2300:
This is certainly good

But will not be worse, if he will do it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
The extra wipes won't hurt but dirty flashing over a ROM other than B7 certainly will.

I suggest holding your "lol" and "omg" comments in the future until the discussion is completed.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
A dirty flash of just flashing it should do it since it is still mostly b7 (as ramjet said, the updater script does a dirty flash of wiping system, cache, and dalvik-cache but leaves your data intact) but I test everything with a factory wipe so that is the only thing I can say works for sure.

Pure white smoke signals was for fans of both Roms, to bring the speed and stability along with the bleeding edgeness of huff and puff with the sexiness of pure white and some of the additions that were made there and deviating away from the pure stock L experience that I have been doing.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Kaemo:
Well, this is annoying. I use V4A, and immediately after I came back from flashing, "AudioFX has stopped working" would NEVER leave the screen. I had to navigate with two taps, just like any other unstoppable FC.

Can you please remove that app in the next build? I had to do another install because of this bug. I don't want to be forced into using an app or have a FC brick in hands.

If you're not gonna use CM's DSP, I would advise you not to download the Pure White version. You either use it, or you don't have a phone until the next clean flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wh1t3Rose:
You are SUPPOSED to do a clean flash for EVERY new build. Period. End of discussion. Don't knock the dev just because you dirty flashed and had issues. That is actually to be expected. If you are too lazy to clean flash when you have issue stay away from custom ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Kaemo:
I don't think you read my post at all. Did you even... try?

The bug only appeared when I flashed V4A. I did a clean flash, and this is the first time this has ever happened to me.

When I said 'until you clean flash' I meant that simply deleting the APK doesn't fix the issue, like it does 99% of the time with other custom ROMs.

If you are too lazy to read, stay away from XDA. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JahSam:
Well...

And you're telling people they're too lazy to read ?

If you already had V4A working on LPV, lucky you.

If it doesn't work anymore, well ask people how is it possible to fix it and if you or someone else have a solution, maybe devs will use it for next builds.

But you don't have to tell dev they have to delete an APK usefull for some people just because YOU have a problem with an apk NOT SUPPORTED...

BTW next time, just do a clean flash, boot, delete apks you don't need and then install whatever you want...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wh1t3Rose:
It's not even supported on L anyway and I was hoping you would figure that out on your own. Guess not. Also when you said "until you clean flash" tells us you dirty flashed and then decided to clean flash only after V4a "broke". Next time be a bit more clear :)

I can only find one other post on here besides me about this, but is anyone else experiencing this ROM having a toast pop up about shell being given SU access and stay on constantly? It happens to me every few hours and I have to reboot the phone. It has happened to me on B5.9, B6, and now B7, both dirty and clean flashed.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] anazhd:
maybe you should try b7 first instead of asking something that's already been enhanced for us. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mzimmer88:
What? I was asking if anyone has experience with it yet before I make the jump to wipe my device and try. If the issue is still there in B7, it's not worth it for me to do so. I am betting its an issue with Android L itself.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] anazhd:
Indeed it's an issue with Android L itself, someone already stated it a few pages back. And if it's not worth for you to do so, why bother jump into a wip rom? You can always just flash the rom which the script will wipe cache, dalvik and system, and no harm to your data ( i really mean, your data. my data is still there and im coming from kitkat, all my 6GB spotify offline cookies and many more ). Unless you like it clean, wipe your data.

Thank you, this info is helpful. I will try the dirty flash you suggested with a nandroid.

Removal of ext4 journaling

Some users have been asking about the flash friendly file system (f2fs) which is difficult to implement for a stock-based ROM but removing the journaling from ext4 file systems may result in some performance improvement.

Using the information in this post I confirmed that the system, cache and data partitions as initialized by recovery and/or the updater-script for the ROM versions in this thread have journaling enabled by default.

Since journaling has little benefit for those partitions it can be turned off to improve I/O performance.

I have adapted and tested the jubei_test_script_add_journal.zip and jubei_test_script_remove_journal.zip from the OP of that thread to work with any Qualcomm based Nexus device and those versions are attached.

Note: Journaling for the data partition will only be disabled/enabled by the scripts if the commented statements to do that have the comment character (#) removed and the script is run from somewhere other than the data partition.

You can view the journaling status of each partition when in TWRP with the following ADB shell command:

If the response includes "has_journal" then journaling is active otherwise it is off.

Switching the feature off and on does not affect the content of the partitions, just the journaling itself.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
When changing to a custom kernel from the default (stock) version you can just flash the new kernel. If you are changing from one custom kernel to another you should re-flash the ROM (no wipes required for B7 or cache+dalvik cache for earlier versions) to clean out files installed by the previous kernel in the system partition.

Don't use any app that controls your kernel. It does not work even you use row/interactive. I think you use fauxclock. Don't just let your kernel run the default settings.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
That still ignores any customization the kernel developer may have done to the ramdisk and from what I've seen that's pretty common. Hellscore for the N5 modifies the default ramdisk with a script, but right now that's only available as a kitkat kernel. Code_Blue for L definitely makes modifications to the ramdisk that will be erased by replacing its ramdisk with the one from this ROM without modifications. From what I've seen so far the Linear kernel for L doesn't have changes to the L default ramdisk so that might be the best one to try modifying at this point.

Everyone should be aware that flashing any custom kernel with this ROM is a bit of a crapshoot at this point.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
If you are running the default configuration it includes the L stock kernal which is not setup to be tweaked any more than the stock kitkat kernel would be.

I agree that running the default kernel with default parameters is the best option at this point.

This ROM is so smooth and the battery performance is good enough with the default kernel that I'm not sure what tweaking will buy you. The main thing that custom kernels would offer is features like touch wake.
