Any chance this could be converted to F2FS, please? Would love to try this rom. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
Do you recommend any other custom kernel that works with your rom?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ZeroDs111:
[MENTION=5030812]Leonhan[/MENTION] With Stock Kernel is working with F2fs and ext4?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
By Stock Kernel, you mean the one that comes with the Rom? Yeah, it works with data/cache at f2fs and system at ext4.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ZeroDs111:
Thanks a lot :D Also [MENTION=5066258]rc420head[/MENTION] the Rom is compatible with M-Kernel a75? or jsut with stock Kernel?

What about 5.1 for tilapia? anything?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zer0lab.dev:
No way we'll see Candy5 on Tilapia.. But if you are interested and you don't need 3G you could always flash the Grouper build.. :thumbup:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] anzi2001:
hmmm i cant boot...anyone else? the circles just keeps spinning :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
Can you provide a more detailed info about how you installed this rom? DId you format your data/cache to f2fs?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] anzi2001:
No f2fs just flashed it by your steps and stuck at the circles that keep spinning and my nexus gets very hot :/
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
This is what I did:

1.) Go to TWRP, and select Format Data (this will erase literally everything in your tablet, so be sure to back things up on your pc).

2.) After Formatting Data, go to Wipe= Advanced Wipe, then select and format Cache and Data to F2FS ( do this one by one)

3.) After you have done so, reboot again into recovery

4.) After rebooting, I then proceeded to wipe again (Advanced wipe then wiping Dalvik, System, Cache, Data and Internal Storage)

5.) After wiping, Plug your N7 to the computer then transfer the ROM and Gapps of your choice (I used Banks gapps which can be found in Rascarlo's website).

6.) Flash Rom

7.) After Flashing ROM (making the installer finish first), flash gapps

8.) After flashing gapps, go to advanced wipe again then wipe Dalvik, Cache and Data (do NOT include System!)

9.) Reboot Device

Keep in mind, this rom is not compatible with Franco's Kernel (and Bricked Kernel if I'm not mistaken). I used the kernel that is with this rom and so far it's giving me good results. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] anzi2001:
How much time did it take to boot? :eek:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
Just 5 minutes. Initial boot usually takes 5-10 minutes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] anzi2001:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
So, how did it go?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] anzi2001:

Didn't see those until after I was in boot loop. So I just put it on the tool kit anf flashed it back to stock.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Leonhan:
So how did it go?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gatoremt:
I had to flash it back to stock to get it out of boot loop. I have not tried to flash the rom again. I am out of town at a Youth Pastors Conference. I will try it later this week.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] atefi:
You mean that i can flash this rom on tilapia? of cource without 3G
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zer0lab.dev:
yes that's what I said..

download the ROM as usual, open it with WinRAR, WinZIP or what you prefer, search for

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

file and open it with an advanced notepad (Notepad++ for example, no windows note manager) and look for this line (usually at the very beginning of the file)

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper");

replace the first two grouper occurrences with tilapia and then save the file and update the zip archive or just rebuild it (if you prefer to unzip completely the archive: that's your choice but the result is the same).

Than flash as usual with gapps and superSU (eventually, if needed): that's all! ;) no need to flash a grouper custom recovery (really, don't flash it!!!!!)

If the updater-script file does NOT have that line, you can flash the ROM immediately. But most of the ROM I flashed have a line like this one:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper" || abort("This package is for device: grouper; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););

You need to only change the first 2 occurrences of grouper, as I said: the part after

|| abort

is only the output that the recovery will give you if the assert grouper check eventually fails, so no need to edit, those are just words.. you can write there blah blah blah blah blah blah but if you respect the semicolons at the end nothing change..

hope it helps!

Candy5 taste the sweetness
[Nexus 7 Android Development] luckyrumo:
If the md5sum is correct, the file on your device is (with a high probability) the same as the file on the server, i.e. it was downloaded correctly. Hence the md5sum eliminates a source for errors which would otherwise be hard to track.

I would be much easier to covert to f2fs if you removed the --block flag from your makefile.

Hi, what's the progress in converting to all f2fs? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
I'm waiting for a new file based build of Candy5 before I can make an f2fs version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rc420head:
Cooking now, is there a guide or commit you can link me to for f2fs? and if it's converted does it still work on normal file system? Or is it 2 separate roms?

---------------------------------------------

Candy5 taste the sweetness
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
Usually it's pretty simple to convert a rom to flash all f2fs... just changing a couple of line in the updater script and adding a boot.img with f2fs support.

But if you wanted to make it even easier on your side, you could use a commit like this to add f2fs support to your kernel and incorporate the agnostic kernel flasher into your rom. But you would still need to have two versions of the updater script one for ext4 and one for f2fs. There is another way using some kernel tools from XDA that I want to try out so that there is just one rom zip for both but I haven't been able to test that out yet.

So basically the roms I convert usually just need 3 or 4 lines changed in the updater script to flash on ext4 or f2fs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rc420head:
Awesome thanks, are most grouper users using f2fs? My 5 year old uses my grouper so I never looked into using f2fs,is it a huge difference?

---------------------------------------------

Candy5 taste the sweetness
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
F2FS seems to have been made for grouper... LOL. It's actually been a big hit on this device in 2014 and usually the first request most devs of new roms will get is the "F2FS please" request. Basically this is squeezing a little more performance out of an aging device... these days 2yrs old is positively ancient it seems. But my N7 is still going strong and gets the same amount of use as my N7 2013 version does, thanks in part to f2fs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rc420head:
Ok, until I get this all set up and going feel free to post your modified version.

Btw update is out see changelog and download links in op

[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks for the new build and thanks for canning block image files. Although block is a faster flash, I'm a tweaker and I like to setup the rom zips my way prior to flashing.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

Sorry to go a bit off topic here but have you found any other way to extract block image files other than dumping the system after flashing, or making a nandroid of system?

Thanks,

Mike T
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
Mounting that block image is like the search for the holy grail at this point... I've made no new progress on that end. And I have asked around too... JustArchi of ArchiKitchen fame and Dees_Troy from twrp.

But here an F2FS version of [MENTION=5066258]rc420head[/MENTION] 's Candy5. No block image extract necessary! And thanks to [MENTION=4984300]Shivam Kuchhal[/MENTION] for the boot.img!

BasketBuild

FYI... I have not had a chance to flash either the ext4 or f2fs version of this yet. I just plugged my N7 in to charge.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
Ok cool. It certainly seems like the majority of devs/rom cooks are going for the block image. I'm thinking that one day in the near future one of the smart guys on XDA will come up with a tool for it. :D

Btw, if anyone wants to use this rom (ext4 version) as a secondary rom in Multirom, here's an edited updater-script that will allow it to flash. Without this edited script, you will get an update-binary error and the flash will fail. Keep this script handy as a template for future Candy builds so you'll know what needs to edited and you can do it yourself with Notepad ++. Also, the updater-scripts generally don't change, so you may be able to use this same script for future builds. However, you should always check to be sure it's exactly the same.

Unzip the attached file https://www.dropbox.com/s/4n0s6hn258rz38a/Multirom_script-Candy.zip?dl=0 then open the rom zip ( Winrar or 7-Zip is good) and drill down in the META-INF folder to com/google/android and overwrite updater-script with the attached file.

Hello, does this work with just data formatted to F2FS or must I use F2FS all? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
This is all-f2fs. If you want just data f2fs you can flash the rom from the OP and flash M-kernal a73 or Phantom kernel and you should be good.

Updating partition details...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
What partitions do you have on your device?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ilanor:
The default partition layout. When I got the tablet it had the factory 5.0 on it. I rooted it then installed f2fs enabled TWRP, formatted cache and system as f2fs.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
Well if you want to use f2fs on your device, you need to have data formatted to f2fs which will wipe all your internal storage. If you are going to use the f2fs rom zip then ALL your partitions need to be f2fs. And like I said, if you just want data f2fs (which is what you said before), you need to flash the original rom zip from the OP + an f2fs kernel... phantom or m-kernel.

Remember you have system/cache/data partitions... most f2fs grouper users convert ALL.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ilanor:
Formatted data and still get the same error. Not asking support, just sharing my experience. Slim on f2fs worked fine but I didn't like the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
I have successfully flashed both the ext4 and f2fs versions of this rom and they both flash and boot without issue. So I'm not sure what could be causing a problem. Are you using multirom maybe?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ilanor:
No app or anything, just straight flashing via TWRP with f2fs support. I think I have a picky grouper! :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rc420head:
Did you check the md5? Try downloading zip again?

---------------------------------------------

Candy5 taste the sweetness
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adomol:
Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Because it seems maybe backuptool didn't want to flash over something on your device. That's the only other thing I can think of right now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ilanor:
Yep, full format. Formatted the /system /data /cache back to ext4 and normal Candy5 ROM installs fine. Md5 checked out too on both versions. I'm currently building cm12 for it to see if that'll install/boot. :fingers-crossed: I tried omni and slim on f2fs but I just didn't like the ROMs. I'm diggin' the Candy tho. :)
