Hi,
I've been meaning to find a smooth Android experience with a 2012 "grouper" Nexus 7, which is apparently too much to ask.
I got this device second handed and it was on 5.0 Lolipop and was laggy. I flashed CM 11 and was still laggy. Upgraded via OTA to latest build, which I believe was M12 snapshop, and got worse.
After a week o Googling around, I wiped all partitions (except my internal SD Card), mounted them and "fstrim"-ed partitions to fix any fragmented empty space, even though it was fixed in 4.2. I tried LagFix with no luck. Also removed apps to free up space, no luck. Disabled Google Currents (which is obsolete now), disabled location services, whatever I could find on the net, done with no result.
Finally I flashed "cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-grouper" and "gapps-kk-20140606-signed" and restored my backups with Titanium Backup and still have lag.
I have several questions but I keep it simple for now:
1) Since I backed up my apps from the laggy roms, are they defective? At least their "user data"?
2) I just want a smooth android experience so I can safely test my games on it. Am I on a wrong foot with CM? Is there "better" ROMs for my need?
(I know it's unholy to talk about pros and cons of roms, at least in other forums is, but I'm on the verge of my sanity)
Thanks.
Honestly, the stock lollipop 5.0.2 is pretty smooth. Not totally 100% lag free, but much better than any Rom I've tried in the last few months. I'm enjoying it.
Well, the standard advice is "switch to F2FS", and it helped me a lot. Lollipop lags only rarely now, if the uptime gets to long.

Regarding your second point: CM should be okay, as most other "original" roms. I've only had problems with roms who combine many features from different sources.
What is switch to f2fs?

F2FS is a filesystem that is optimized for flash storage. It's much faster than the standard ext4, which was developed with magnetic drives in mind.

Is it possible to change stock 5.0.2 of Nexus 2012's firmware to F2FS (or anyhing that does that) or I should go with custom roms? If custom rom, which one would you recommend to achieve F2FS?
Thanks.

I honestly don't know if stock works with F2FS, but I'm pretty sure you would have to flash a custom kernel (like phantom kernel).
For custom roms, you must distinguish those which offer "All-F2FS", which means that all partitions (including /system) are on F2FS, from the possibility on almost any rom to have only cache and data on F2FS (after flashing an f2fs-compatible kernel). IMHO the latter is fast enough, since the content of /system doesn't change while running.
There's a lot of roms now, so try for yourself. I don't have time to try out a lot at the moment (exams...), the one I use currently (see my signature) is okay, but not perfect. (but maybe the current release is better, I haven't updated for a while now.)
This rom has an All-F2FS-version and is very close to stock, so too few features for me, but maybe you'll like it I used it directly after lollipop release. Here's a related post from me, the links in there are a bit outdated, but the rest should be correct.
One important thing: Formatting to F2FS will wipe everything, including /sdcard, so do a BACKUP on your PC or USB drive first!

Thanks, your post was fantastic and I changed my device's file system to F2FS and installed SlimKat on it and it solved the problem (there is still a bit of lag, but the device is usable now).
I followed your advice and tried to find other ROMs that support F2FS or All-F2FS but could not understand the descriptions in ROM threads completely. Would someone please help me on how I can find other ROMs that are F2FS OR can be turned into one?
This led me to want to try to build ROMs myself as well ;o)

The All-F2FS roms usually have [F2FS] written in their thread's title, and if you don't care if /system is f2fs, you can use any rom with an f2fs-kernel. Simply flash it directly after the rom itself (without rebooting first).
For Kitkat, this thread seems to be a list of f2fs-roms and -kernels.
For Lollipop, there's at least BSZAOSP and SlimLP as roms, and Phantom and M-Kernel as kernels.
Thanks. Is there CyanogenMod newer than M9 with F2FS for Nexus7?
I don't know, but you could try to convert it yourself. There are apps for this on the play store (search for F2FS), and I've heard they work fine, at least for KitKat (they discussed it somewhere in the BSZAOSP thread I linked above).
Thanks.
after several days of usage, I still find the "mmcqd/0" process is causing lags on my device. I've installed SlimKat and have plenty of free space on my device and not too many apps installed, and also disabled their auto start on boot with Clean Master.
Any other thing I can do?

I installed my 3rd ROM, "Vanilla-ish AOSP 5.0.1_r1 ROM (LRX22C) for WiFi Nexus 7 (2012) Grouper" and it still lags. Will it work butter smooth if I go back to first stock ROM?
I mean, the slow NAND was the problem from the start, why recently people opt to F2FS?
I found this firmwares looking for a solution for my MK809III with RK3188T processor (i guess they are working on a RK3188 processor too) and AP 6210 WIFI Module, because i was facing random reboots and it was getting really frustrating. So ill share the firmwares for anyone who is having troubles with his MK809III - AP 6210 WIFI Module.
Geekbuying_TV BOX_RK3188T_Android 4.4_official_AP6210 No sound: This firmware is official Rockchip 4.4 firmware, working perfect but i couldnt figure out why i dont have sound with it? maybe someone can try and find out. Also this firmware dont have non of the Google apps and accounts login.
https://mega.nz/#F!DQFDQZbQ: This is official stock 4.2.2. Everything works. and im using this firmware now. My device came with this FW.
Neomode Custom Rom MK809III Version 3.1 Android 4.4.2 *Update*: This is custom ROM working great. It is rooted and I was using it for a while.. No problems with it. It has options for OC, for repartition of the internal memory for more apps and different kernels. Great work from Neomode. All credits to him.
https://mega.nz/#!rBs11Z4D!zb3GPNKiSJgNwvJVEjz_moQ28ZN1pNO6dDdEY7msPwM - Remote control Android app for Rockchip devices.
RK unified update tool_PACKAGE_V1.7: And finaly this is the official Rockchip tools package for flashing. It has read me file and it is very easy to use.
Hope this info helps someone.
Press thanks if you like this post.

Latest version of TWRP for MK809III?
Whats the latest available version of TWRP for the MK809III? The version I have which I think is 2.7.0.0 is saying /system can't be mounted when trying to do a backup. I'm running v4 of this rom which seems to be a solid 4.4 kitkat rom: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...5266-mk809iii-kitkat-4-4-smic717394-1080p-rom
Maybe you can ask the guy who's rom you're using, I see is a quite good rom.. And the developer should know how to make a zip with updated twrp.
But I don't think you need a backup.. I must have flashed my device 100 times and didn't have any problems..

@famewolf Successfully flash, it works everything ok! I have a very last question, my memory ram is from 2GB but after flash it just shows 1GB. That's because the parameters files? Do you had the same issue?

Yes the parm file used determines how much space is allocated to system and how much to user.
Put a microsd card in with an sd-ext partition and use linksd to move the apps to it and you won't have to worry about space.
Hi @vonuzu which is the stock kernel for the stock rom that you linked? I mean "MK809III new Working". Because i can't find it.

The roms that are linked are as i find them on various chineese sites. They are posted as I find them, no aditional files. All you need is just to flash them. I guess the kernel is whitin the files.

Yup you're right. I just flashed the firmware file and the kernel is inside. Thanks for the reply.
Many AOSP roms for S7 work as universal package - a single file covering all variants,
but Korean variants are different from other variants like F, FD, W8.. yes, I mean exynos devices.
So if you try to install AOSP rom file for all exynos devices on Korean variants, it just doesn't work.
Here's why : System partition size is different between Korean and non-korean variants. That's why korean and non-korean variants should be divided like TWRP is.
To solve this, converted sdat to img, resized it, and reconverted it to dat and applied.
Here's script used :
#!/bin/bash
sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system_raw.img
rm system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.patch.dat
resize2fs system_raw.img 4300800K
ext2simg system_raw.img system_spr.img
img2sdat.py system_spr.img 4
rm system_raw.img system_spr.img
You can use this script and you will be able to use AOSP roms on Korean variants.
Converted : http://achonapp.com/?path=/samsung/Galaxy S7/kykint/ResurrectionRemix Unofficial builds
Yes, it's EXTREMELY old build, but it works anyway. Just an example for some users.
Tested AOKP, LineageOS both Official and Unofficial, RR, and none of those worked.
Some users reported that some old unofficial builds (not sure) were used to be installed regardless of partition size but not anymore.

Wooow, I just purchased Galaxy S7 G900K few weeks ago. Then I tried to install my favorite ROM the Resurrection Remix. I changed my Recovery to TWRP 3.2.1.0, 3.1.1.0 too. All tries are failed... with ERROR 7. Then I was searched for solutions, then I changed META-INF's update-script, but it isn't works at this issue. Then I've just published ASK post at S7's XDA Forum, few minutes ago. Then I've found your guide here... Thanks, I will try it soon (my computer hasn't Linux based OS).

I was tried at my phone with using TERMUX, but there was no "ext2simg" command exist at Android system. Other commands, python codes works perfect, but why we need to repartition to flash stock firmware? Now I'm using SuperMan ROM, I haven't got any linux based computer. I think we don't need to convert back.
I did it guys. I've uploaded them to my MEGA storage HERE. I've changed updater-script for modify. Now only RR and LineageOS's are modified. So tell me what ROM you need to modify for korean herolte.

The roms that are compatible are GSI 8.1 roms. Others don't work.
How I got it to work;
Flash twrp with treble support. Reboot to recovery.
Flash both vendor zips, reboot to recovery
Flash U11 treble zip, reboot to recovery
Flash Oreo GSI system image of your liking from https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Flash U11 selinux zip. Reboot.
It should boot.
Also, make sure you backup in twrp beforehand as if it's not what you want, you can just restore.
For pixelexperience, I had issues with gapps verification. It wouldn't let me get around it.

Do you mean backup in New twrp, or old, i assume old backups won't work anymore?
And is it right what treple checker says that our device i a device with only one partition, thus only flash a images , with gapps?
And treple check says no treble support, but that is because i didn't flash zips yet surely
And which roms would you recommend?
Are all gsi images compatible with our htc u 11 ?
I'm on rr and not stock, magisk installed, does this matter?
Sorry for all the q but better sure than sorry

Did you do Clean flash before you flash GSI? and after the flash GSI you should do a FACTORY RESET

The first one i did but the second one no. Thanks. I'll try tomorrow again.
Has anyone been able to get encryption working on a GSI ROM with the Moto G6 Plus? I have tried a lot of different ROMs but have been unable to get encryption working.
On all ROMS that I have installed (phhTreble 9.0, AOSPExtended - numerous builds of each) the phone says that it is encrypted. But I am able to boot TWRP through fastboot, see all the files unencrypted and copy them to a SD card or OTG USB. This leads me to believe that the ROM is misreporting the encryption status on this phone since when I flash back to stock the file based encryption works correctly with all file names becoming scrambled in TWRP and errors being thrown when trying to copy them.
I won't migrate to my new device until I am convinced that the encryption works correctly. I am hoping that someone can help shed some light on this issue for me. Is this a GSI issue? Is this limited to the Moto G6 Plus? I have spent a lot of time digging to find information about this with no luck. I see a lot of posts about how to disable the force encryption for a number of devices? Is encryption broken on all ROMS / devices right now and I just haven't seen the discussion? Either that or I am one of the few people who are having an issue with device encryption. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, thanks for taking the time to read.
Try using the lastest twrp from official page it can decrypt internal storage :
https://dl.twrp.me/evert/twrp-3.2.3-1-evert.img
Or use this, also we can install it (go to Advanced> install ramdisk recovery and check backup current boot partition) this not permanent so every time you flash GSI or ROM it will disappeared, so you have to install it again

Thank You!
@RokCruz thank you so much!
I figured that it was something silly that I had missed or did not understand. I had been using a version of TWRP that was posted elsewhere on XDA that I guess does not support encryption and that was why when I flashed a GSI the files did not get encrypted correctly.
I do find it concerning that the ROMs I was using kept reporting that the phone was encrypted when it was not. But that is probably a different issue. I am glad that I caught this however. Thanks again.
