Help needed update zip config - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm in need of a little help! I am creating an AIO update zip and would like to convert a /data backup to and addition to my OS Install zip. Currently my Install Zip installs CWM at the end and informs you to reboot recovery restore data with the extracted backup. I want the zip to install the entire /data partition including dalvik cache on its own but I am having trouble with permissions and symbolic links...

[Q] 0.00b free on /system after rooting

Dear all,
I tried to use link2sd on my S6102, so first I rooted it using this tutorial (which is linked in the link2sd tutorial):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611830
After applying update.zip, link2sd reports 0.00b on /system, thus the error message when starting link2sd:
"Mount script cannot be created. write: No space left on device.
Before applying update.zip, it was 1.4Mb in /system.
What does it mean? Did I do anything wrong?
BTW in this state, I tried to install the 15toggles package, which resulted in boot loop - had to restore nandroid backup via cwm. Maybe the same reason?
Thanks a lot!
To create a mount script you need a 2nd ext partition on your sd card - nothing to do with /system although you do need space there to place the script which I think is your problem
if you have got /system problems wipe Dalvik cache in cwm
if you still have problems You will have to wipe system & data and install a custom rom that is pre rooted
Yes 2nd partition is there and yes I think it is the script itself which doesn't fit in /system
Wiping dalvik cache did not change anything...
Maybe I can find another root "package" and try with that...

Will Not Install Gapps

I have just installed Blisspop rom and trying to install TKGapps. I have tried to install Full, mini and micro. I get not enough space to install and to run gapps-config.
How can I just clean out the /system/app folder so I can reinstall Bliss and then Gapps?
Is there a way to format the whole thing to remove everything, then reinstall Bliss (5.1.1) and gapps?
There is no way that I'm full up I have 12.28GB of space but it tells me that I don't. I'm getting really irritated.
Thanks in advance.
I'd advice go to recovery, clean everything, reinstall rom, then gapps
Otherwise, use file explorer to see if you"ve got the rom zip in internal (would take **** loads of storage)

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have gone into recovery, done a full wipe, Cache, system, data, internal storage. I have also did the factory reset.
Then I flash said Rom, and then try to install Gapps. That's when the error come up in recovery installing gapps that not enough room in system to install and to use gapps-config to modify or remove unwanted programs.
I have used file manager to access root/system/app folder however im not sure what is safe to remove without causing havoc.
I will try your suggestion and get back.
Didyou do dalvik/ART too?

Use f2fs

I'd like to use f2fs in /data and /cache partitions.
I've install the rom again after change the file system or change data and cache isn't necessary install the rom other time?
install rom as normal ext4. all partitions
then let it boot into system let it settle for 10 min.
flash f2fs kernel that supports f2fs, and you must have twrp that supports f2fs full. 2.8.7.3 from blastagator does.
boot into system. let it settle for 10 mins.
go to twrp back up data
copy data folder to PC while in twrp.
open twrp folder back up, rename data.ext4.win to data.f2fs.win do also for md5 file rename it too.
in twrp go to wipe/andavanced/ and tick the data and press on repair change it to f2fs. do same for cache.
then go to main menu, reboot/ reboot into recovery from recovery to take effect of system file.
once it boots check if data is in f2fa file format. id yes. copy from pc to twrp folder the back up you renamed.. hit restore. restore it
then reboot to system. it should be in f2fs use disk info apk, to check

Advice

I need some help with my Elsa. I soft bricked it about a 9 days ago while I was installing gapps on top of lineage OS 14.1. I had rooted using Cow mid January , 17.
Using fat I resized, formated, wiped ----system, data, cache--- partitions. Then I formated Dev/Art in F2FS which resulted in some very interesting stuff. Now that I've gotten TWRP back on it ( or helped it revive ) through fastboot.
File system looks good.
/system
file system ext4
size 5416MB
free 5405MB
used 10MB
backup size 10MB
/data
file system ext4
size 52528MB
free 5245MB
used 0MB
backup size 0MB
/cache
file system ext4
size 0MB
free 0MB
used 0MB
backup size 0MB
Is there any cmds, coding, prompts.... etc.... i can run in the twrp terminal to gather more information to the condition of the device?
No stock. No roms. Nothing except Android I think
A clean blank state?
The device Had full SElinux and MTP this whole time it was bricked

if you have twrp, the flash a rom for your device via twrp and let it boot.
typically will reboot 2x and take 10-15 min from start to finish 1st boot.
if you have twrp you just need to flash a rom,
make sure you do a full wipe, and a format data prior to installing your rom.
Please stop re-posting new threads, your making this harder for any dev to help as you've now made 3 posts for the 1 device you have, and the 1 issue.

I'm sorry.
It's just been hard. I'm reading and trying to do my homework on this issue from LG UP to boot img. Recovery img. And system img. Having issues with adb seeing device to Windows drivers not being correct.
Now that I've got twrp functioning again on the device along with adb... I've got the KDZ file which I have extracted to produce a system.img file. I have no boot or recovery img though. I've put all extracted files into my platform tools folder. I don't know what to do now. I don't want to mess this up. Help me get this correct

if you have twrp you dont need a system.img recovery.img or a boot.img
you just need to go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-natf-1-00-test-5-debloated-stock-t3509750
download the rom,
place on sd card and install it using twrp.

You can set the zips anywhere in internal.. But id recommend putting them on a sd card as they wont accidently get erased.
With his rom you dont need gaps.
Only aosp roms or aokp roms
Just choose wipe and do it 3 times
Then do advanced options in wipe and do format data
Once done go to install and choose the location where the rom was saved. Again a sd card eliminates side load. Mounting ywrp with mtp to move stuff etc. But if you have to use internal. Go to mount and mount mtp stoarge and use pc to drag zip to phone.
Should just need to install the rom and reboot. The link i sent you is for the stock rom you started with.. And some mod options. Just get it working with it and get the fine details done later..
But you just need to find the file under install and install the full zip. If its aroma it will let you personalize rom.
Just install the recommended zip from link and profit.
