[Nexus 7 Android Development] magicb:
I just wiped /cache and /data, reformatted them to EXT4, then rebooted and let the tablet reinstall AndiSA AOSP 7.1.2...

when finished I skipped the setup wizard (four touches in the corner), launched Gapps, registered to my account

but, again, when I tried downloading either Chrome or Firefox (I have the same problem with Adobe Reader too)

I just get "Download pending..." for a couple of seconds then "Not Installed" :( :(

so everything is the same after switching /cache and /data from F2FS to EXT4... :crying:

I'm getting to think that there might be something wrong in the partitioning structure of the eMMC flash memory...

in my Nexus 7 (grouper) seemingly I have 9 partitions (from mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p9) and this is what I got examining each partition with fdisk:

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

Disk mmcblk0: 7646 MB, 7646216192 bytes (the whole eMMC, I suppose)

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 233344 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p1: 12 MB, 12582912 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 384 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p2: 8 MB, 8388608 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 256 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p3: 681 MB, 681574400 bytes (SYSTEM, I suppose)

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 20800 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p4: 464 MB, 464519168 bytes (CACHE, I suppose)

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 14176 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p5: 0 MB, 524288 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 16 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p6: 10 MB, 10485760 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 320 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p7: 5 MB, 5242880 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 160 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p8: 0 MB, 524288 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 16 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

Disk mmcblk0p9: 6453 MB, 6453985280 bytes (DATA, I suppose)

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 196960 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

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

do you see anything strange? can you tell me anything

about mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, mmcblk0p5, mmcblk0p6, mmcblk0p7, mmcblk0p8 ?

what are they? why aren't the partitions identified with their own filesystems?

thank you for reading this,
