TWRP-2.7.0.0 with "All-F2FS" support
I have modified the standard TWRP recovery to work with F2FS partitions.
This is different from the previous recoveries that i published.
This is for "All-F2FS" that mean that /system, /cache and /data are formatted with F2FS.
Keep in mind that this can work only with a compatible kernel and ROM.
What is F2FS?
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.

Here are some explanations. Read them
Recovery has the usual red back key to remember you that you are using a F2FS-recovery.
If wiping /system and /cache and making a factory reset from Wipe menu doesn't work, use FormatPartitions.zip. (<- READ THIS)
Instead wiping /data is fine within the wipe menu.
To switch your /system, /cache and /data partitions to F2FS follow instructions:
Keep in mind that you will lose all the files on the memory of your N7.
You need:
- Two files you can download above (img and FormatPartitions.zip)
- A ROM with "All-F2FS" support (Like my SlimKat version)
(Or Make your ROM with Convert To F2FS)
- GApps (i think you want PlayStore.) Usual GApps. Slim AiO work well.
- Copy a ROM with "All-F2FS" support to your N7
- Copy GApps to your N7
- Copy FormatPartitions.zip to your N7
- Reboot in bootloader
- Flash this recovery with Fastboot (Maybe Flashify works too)
- Reboot in new recovery
- Flash FormatPartitions.zip
- Reboot recovery (It's needed for some reasons..)
- Flash ROM
- Flash GApps
- Go to Wipe Menu and Format Data (Not a simple wipe)
- Reboot
- Done.
It's easier than it seems
To restore partitions to stock:
- Download a standard TWRP
- Download RestorePartitions.zip
- Flash RestorePartitions.zip (Untested)
- Flash standard Recovery
- Format Data in Wipe Menu
Enjoy.
