I have a Nexus 7 2012 Wifi running OmniRom 4.4.2 with the F2FS Lego Kernel which really improved the performance of my tablet that started slowing down after about a year of use.
My question is will the new version of Android (Android L) be compatible with F2FS? Maybe we wont need F2FS anymore since ART will be the default? Just asking to know if I should revert back to a stock kernel and wait for the Android L release.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm testing the CM10.2 nighties on my Razr M from two weeks. Everything seems stable but I want to try it with the SmartassV2 governor that the CM kernel is missing. I started searching for alternative kernels (like Aaaagh's one) and I noticed that the actual CM10.2 kernel is v.3.0.96: wasn't Android 4.3 supposed to have the 3.4.62 version instead? If so, why Cyanogemod is stuck with th old 3.0.96 version? I've searched for answers but I've find none...
Is it possible that every CM10.2 build has the old kernel, or is this happening only with the Razr M build?
Maybe I'm just missing somenthing...

3.4 kernel for MSM8960 isn't quite available yet.
Hopefully Moto will update to 3.4 if we ever receive official 4.2 (or 4.3)
You can contribute and follow the progress (dev wise) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243410 and http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...lopment-0610-android-booting-firmware-issues/
Ok, everything isclear now! Thanks for the quick response!
Basically we've two options:
1) use the 3.0 kernel with backported 3.4 funcions (the one integrated in the CM builds)
2) use a 3.4 kernel (like Aaaargh's or others) non totally adapted to our device
And all this because we're still stuck with Android 4.1.2 thanks to Motorola/Google/Verizon...
At this point, I think te safest thing is to keep using the 3.0 kernel... Apart for the new governors/schedulers, why soul I prefer a 3.4 kernel (maybe this is a silly question too...)? Are they usable/stable even if they're not exactly matching our device?
What the best and faster official android version for this device? 4.3 or 4.4.4?

I would personally stick CM13 or any other AOSP/AOKP ROM (DU is good) and de journalise the file system and set Trimmer to daily. Check the CM13 thread for instructions. Those settings never failed and I've been running them for 2.5 months and before slowdown occured after a few days, even with official firmware (5.1.1)

Use XenonHD with F2FS /data and /cache, It is extremely fast!
for me its definitely kitkat 4.4.4 (KTU84P)..
i m using Omni Rom based on 4.4.4
Hello to everybody. I need to do a 3.15 linux kernel or 3.2.0 for my grouper Nexus. I was sawing this https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_kernel_asus_grouper but I dont have the more minimal idea how I have to compile it to do it. Can anybody help me? I dont know if it is possible do a 3.15 or 3.20 version, does it exist?
Unless you seriously know how to tinker with Android device kernels and you have some experience with the N7 2012, don't bother. It took upwards of a year for the 3.4 kernel to be ported and it's only recently become stable(ish)
why 3.15 kernel when we have 3.4 fully functional kernel?
I got rid of most of my Android devices, and the Nexus 7 is only what I have currently left.
So i digged it out and was wondering what ROM and Kernel I could use to make this tablet usable for newer apps that are on Play Store.
I know there is the M-Kernel which I used before, but what ROM and Kernel is currently recommended to get this tablet as up2date as possible with a decent performance?
I'm currently running Stock 4.4.4 as I noticed that 5.1 is kinda slower..
Thanks!
Resurrection Remix 7.1.2
I've been using this unofficial Resurrection Remix ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-0-nexus-7-t3537968 . Booting the Nexus takes a while but runs pretty smoothly afterwards when using a few apps.
I use the Nexus these days to read, message, and as a workout timer. I can accomplish these things on this ROM.
Hi guys I worked and built a AOSP-8 rom for grouper and tilapia.
This is a battery saving keen rom but laggy and bugs.
This ROM is really bad if you just let it go to sleep it would not work.
And you need to do a hard reboot if it goes into sleep.
Do you want this rom guys?
Since original kernel from grouper & tilapia is extremely buggy, it's likely that new ROMs will not work correctly with it.
Latest Android should be able to run on latest mainline kernel with just one patch and Nexus 7 2012 is fully supported.
Kernel sources: kernel.org or latest development code.
