Hey guys!
This is my first post on the Nexus 7 forum so if this is the incorrect place to ask such a question, please tell me!
Basically, I wanted to make sure that I'm flashing my roms correctly. Specifically, I've been on a flashing binge and installed Smooth Rom, Paranoid Android and Liquid Smooth all after one another in the same sitting. My flashing process, using clockwork mod, begins by wiping all of my data and cache -> Rewiping the cache (this probably isn't needed) -> Flashing the Rom -> and lastly flashing gapps. I'd be very thankful if someone could tell me if this is a clean flash.
Also, I've noticed from other users on the boards for these roms that they're getting much higher benchmarks. For example, Smooth Rom with the Motley Kernel, one user mentioned that he got around 4800 on the quadrant benchmark which is much higher than what I've gotten even by fully overclocking. That's one of the reasons I wanted to make sure I was flashing correctly. Incidentally, I also seem to create a new set of folders on the Nexus 7 after flashing each Rom. For example, I have on my internal storage the usual set of folders (Alarm, Android, DCIM, etc...) but then I also have folders named legacy and 0. Within 0, there is a whole new set of Alarm, Android, DCIM, Downloads, etc... And within that subset of folders is another 0 folder with more of the same folders. So you get the picture. That doesn't seem right to me since eventually I'll have an outrageous amount of folders, haha.
So yeah! If anyone could tell me whether I flashed correctly and maybe why I seem to have those problems, I'd very much appreciate it!
Also, I'd like to note that coming from the HTC Vivid forums, it's a breath of fresh air to see such a dedicated and organized forum! Thank you!

if your roms are flashing, then youre flashing correctly. generally you want to wipe data only if going from one rom to a different rom. but if only updating the same rom, just flash your rom without wiping anything. no need to wipe dalvik as it gets wiped when you flash the rom.
what recovery are you using? i thonk its only cwm recovery that keeps adding a 0 folder every time, no such issue with twrp recovery.
benchmarks, its about how you set up your device, and how you actually benchmark. you should benchmark at highest cpu/highest cpu, as to not allow your device to scale. if you allow your device to scale, you dont actually know what cpu speed is being benchmarked. btw, 4800 on a quadrant is low. anyways, benchmarks shouldnt matter to you(to a developer they might matter though), what should matter is how it feels and runs for you.
I follow that same routine, but have only been successful in one flash, and after trying to go to P.A., now I can't get any to boot correctly. I have maybe 4 ROMs to try from, but all day, only the one worked. LiquidJB , I think. I really wanted PA though, cause thats whats on my phone.

did you wipe data before flashing the new rom?
Yes. I always wipe cache and dalvik, before flashing, and I flash the rom then gapps using twrp. At this point, I'm stuck at the Google screen with one, and PA says setup stopped when I load it.

Yes. Factory reset. Unfortunately, I've now wiped the sd card (internal) so I'm trying to flash AP using a zip on my laptop with Nexus Root Toolkit v.1.5.5, but now that I tried, iss that the rom I managed to boot still has an error that the setup program stopped, and the error keeps coming up, keeping me from entering debugging mode... guess i have to do a flash stock + unroot and start fresh....

Well, mean, I had downloaded something like 5 Roms. Might it be that rooting changed my boot version or something? Not sure what the boot version changes with the N7, on my phone it's pretty important.

So, is there any fix for this strange folders "legacy" ans "0"?
Hey!
Sorry for not responding sooner. University applications can be so time consuming. Thanks a lot Simms22! You've been a great help. Since then, I've cared less about benchmarks and more on the fact that the Nexus is freakishly fast with SmoothRom.
I haven't fixed the legacy problem but I'm assuming (and I could definitely be wrong with this) I could just delete the extra folders seeing as they technically don't have anything inside of them and afterwards just switch to TWRP. Shouldn't be that difficult.
I've been going back and forth with safestrap, trying to get it to give me a slot bigger than 1 gig... no hope yet.
I tried yesterday to flash to stock slot, nope. Erased the data on stock, cleared cache, cleaned everything up on stock slot, and tried to open a new slot with 3 gigs, and it immediately says no dice. Tried the eclipse rom with one gig, and it said that I only had like 300 mg for storage on internal memory. Help?
Update to op... Tried a 3 gig slot this morning, and it said I have like 53 megs left... WTH?

Just flash eclipse to slot 1 and reboot. Go into recovery and make a android, then delete the slot 1 and restore your nandroid to stock and reboot. Not you can run eclipse on stock with full space available for apps and media storage.

after installed safestrap, backing up my stock ROM, installing a new ROM, I ran out of memory. after uninstalling safestrap, all of my memory is back. the custom ROMs out there may be nice, but not enough whereby I would lose memory. I'm sure I did something wrong by placing the ROM slot on the internal storage when it should have gone on mnt/external, but I don't need a custom ROM yet.
damn you, stock rom slot.
I tried that this morning, no luck, it still has the stock ROM.

Hi guys, I am trying to flash this ROM, I have to tell you that it is the first time I am doing it, but having problem. I have razr M rooted with supperSU, safestrep 3.11. I rebooted into SS3.11 and tried to create a ROM Slot, but it does nothing. I go to either rom slot out of 4 and see options, but nothing happens when I press create ROM button. I do message Space :0MB at the botom, although I have at least 10GB free on SD card and at least 2.5GB on the internal memory. Can you pelase help-Gene

I also replied to your question on DroidRzr.com.
When you create a new ROM slot in SS, all it does is setup the partitions for you to safely flash a new ROM. After the ROM slot is created, you need to choose the "Install" option for that ROM slot. Then, you will choose the "Energy ROM" zip from your SD. Make sure you only install aftermarket ROMs in one of the additional ROM slots, not in stock. Once you are comfortable with the new ROM, there are ways to install the ROM in the stock slot, but that will come in play later on

I go in Boot Options/ROM-Slot-1 chose wither 1GB, or 2GB or 3GB while System partition size of 1024MB and Cache partition size of 300 MB are already selected, at the bottom I see "Free Space:0MB (while I still have 10GB of SD and 3GB of internal free memory). Create ROM slot button does notv respond or does nothing when I press it.

Safestrap must not be recognizing the free space on your internal sd card. I would recommend uninstalling safestrap, just to be safe confirm your root with root checker, and then install safestrap again. Just use a 1 gb rom slot to avoid any problems that may be occuring due to memory. Post back if the problem persists.

Hi, I finally was able to install the ROM and power the phone up, but cannot really enjoy it, because cannot use company emails... My company requires storage formatting and wile this option exist on this ROM, it looks like it does not work, neither through the option provided via exchange remote service nor locally by going to settings\ security\format. Is there an option to do that? Also I am constantly running on the low memory. I wiped all apps from stock rom slot, did factory reset and wiped cashe etc, allocated 2gb to Rom slot1 and after installing rom there, before any apps installed, I only have 1.1gb free. Is there any way to increase storage? Last but not least camera with phosphere works even kind of in sphere mode, but the alignment movement is as slow as it could possibly be, it takes a min to move from first picture to the second. Did any guys experienced that?
Thanks a lot in advance for help---Gene

As far as the email goes, I'm not sure. I'm not sure which ROM you're using now, but I believe that the 4.2 camera that is available on the ROMs for our phone isn't fully functional yet. Last I checked photoshpere doesn't work, but I could be wrong. The way I increased storage on my phone was to install my new ROM on to the stock partition. This is possible with safestrap, but you will want to make sure you have a backup of your stock ROM just in case something goes wrong. Once you make the backup of your stock ROM, download the custom ROM on to a different partition and set it up as you like. Then, make a backup of the custom ROM in recovery. Delete the partition that you created for the custom ROM and RESTORE the custom ROM backup on the stock partition. Restoring is important because installing does not work (I bricked my phone doing that). Then install safestrap on your new custom ROM and enjoy all the free space you had with your stock ROM!

Okay, so here is the issue that I'm having. I have everything set up (SafeStrap, downloaded Eclipse v1.2 ROM, have it saved to my SD card), but when I go to actually flash the ROM, the screen says that it failed/unable to flash. I've tried removing the ROM slot, creating it again, and still getting the same issue. Also tried going into the stock recovery and clearing the cache partition from there, wiping the data, etc. Still got nothing. So now I'm really confused as far as what the problem is?

It's been a while since I've used SafeStrap so I'm not completely sure what the issue could be. Are you opposed to unlocking your bootloader? If not, there's a great selection of ROMs out there that are very amazing. Our phone has been receiving a lot of dev support lately and they have put much time in to some of these newer ROMs. I would recommend unlocking and installing a custom recovery to flash these with. There are many stock based ROMs out there that you can choose from if you prefer those, or there is a great deal of CM support as well. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a message and I can walk you through the steps of unlocking and installing a custom recovery!

Well here's the thing. I don't think that I can unlock my bootloader now. I've tried using the steps that were provided, but I guess that since I just got the phone a few days ago, it's downright impossible for me to do so. That's why I installed SafeStrap - because of that issue. If it was possible for me to unlock my bootloader now, I sure as heck would rather do that than go through the process I've gone through for the past couple of days. I will send you a message, and maybe you can help me out with unlocking the bootloader if it's possible?
http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2013/04/08/motorola-bootloader-unlocking/
This is the only way that Ive been able to unlock my bootloader, run this utility and if it says Status code: 3 you are in luck! Even if it doesnt have the Unlocked Bootloader Warning upon startup you still are unlocked.
Good luck!
So i have just rooted, unlock bootloader, and flashed TWRP 2.3. Im thinking about installing a rom and i heard of this safetrap recovery thing. I downloaded the razr m safestrap apk, should i install the recovery over TWRP. and also what is the difference, what does it do?
Here is all the info you should need.
I haven't tried safestrap, but my understanding is that it lets you install a rom without needing to unlock your bootloader. Since you are unlocked, safestrap isn't necessary, but it might be still something you want to use. If you feel like playing around with your custom rom, safestrap is probably a good idea, because it will keep your stock rom intact in case something goes wrong.
Unless I'm mistaken, it will let you partition your internal memory and install other roms alongside your stock rom. When you start up, you can boot into safestrap where you can set up a new rom installation and choose which you want to boot into.
I don't use safestrap for a few reasons. Mainly, I install a rom and don't mess with it. If something goes wrong, I have recovery and backups to get everything back to normal. Secondly, the Razr M has pretty limited internal memory, only 4.5GB that you can use. Each rom can easily take up 1GB or more(you set the amount of space given to each rom through safestrap), so installing 2-3 roms doesn't leave you with a lot of space for extra data. Lastly, I have no real need to keep my stock rom intact, I have a twrp backup of it that I can restore to get the same effect. I could keep backups of all the roms I would want to install, and restore to them, getting basically the same effect of using safestrap to have them side by side(although with the added time it takes to wipe/restore). I can also keep my backups on my much larger external SD, keeping my internal memory free for as many apps and data as I could possibly think of. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can use safestrap to set up a new rom running off of your external sd.

If you look at the message when you're try to create the slots you'll probably see it saying "unable to mount system" which means it did not create the system partition. You should see the same thing when you try installing the ROM as well. That's why your getting the "no system" error.
From what I fond is that you make the rom slots larger and it will work. The only problem I have found is when you power down or reboot it get stuck in a bootloop and you have to do a battery pull. It will then start the rom slot (1-4) fine. Just not on power downs.

So your slot 1 and 2 booted? I was able to create a slot and install a rom, but when I boot into it, it just hangs at black screen. I have to pull the battery to get back to recovery to select main slot. Would be really nice to get a fully working safestrap for KK.

I never noticed any errors? I tried it a couple times but no joy. I can try again and see if I get any errors. Will report results later. I do know that the dev has stated that 3.72 beta was not capable of installing multiple rom slots, but have heard others with success, so not sure if it is just by chance the few have gotten this to work or what.

Also, if it can't mount the system your ROM slots will not be created properly. You can tell if they didn't work by looking at the size of the system partition after creating the slot, if it didn't work it will say 0 (zero). As someone else suggested, if you increase the partition sizes (even by the smallest increment possible) they will get created and work. The only thing I've noticed is that rebooting does not work and requires a battery pull.
Hopefully this helps you.

Sounds good. I would not have thought of increasing the size to force it to take. Not sure what it read after creating as I did not notice. But I will check that as well. Thanks for the advice. Now I have something to play around with this afternoon.:good:

Saweeeeet!!! Total success. I wiped the slot and re created it with uping each of the three partitions by one bump. That did not work as the partition size said 0 space available. So I wiped again and just bumped the first two up. That time it took and showed the partition at correct size. I installed Hyperdrive on it and it installed and booted just fine.:good:
Thanks again for the help. Totally stoked that I can test out other roms again without wiping the main slot.
