[Nexus 7][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch

[brizey]

Don't you feel bad knowing you have a few gigs of data on your sdcard that you do not know where they are and even how to delete to free up space?

However, browsing sdcard help questions are not the purpose of a dev thread

Still i added a faq help for people ignoring /data/media things

Finally, when you need help, provide logs. It is also in main thread

Phil, anything we can do for our poor old N7's? You have the best f2fs implementation, and this is the device that needs it the most! But we are stuck on a March build.

You have a very old kernel (3.1)
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_asus_grouper/blob/cm-11.0/Makefile#L2

I only played with +3.4 kernels to merge f2fs
Else, it is a pain in the ass to maintain sources when I don't own the device

You have to find a dev for your device that makes an f2fs kernel
After that, someone has just to compile my sources with his kernel sources, or even a prebuilt

If a dev is interested, just reply here
I am not going to compile it my self though as I am busy and I expect a few issues on such old device

Hi Phil,

How about this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38551139

It has f2fs ?

Unfortunately I cannot compile, so maybe someone else can step in?

Not sure about size...
You can ask the kernel dev to just compile CWM with that prebuilt kernel

I doubt I have time, at least for now. If no one tried it, remind me in about a month or two please

Hi Phil, as discussed, a small reminder. Unfortunately it seems that noone did it for the old nexus 7.

Will be great if you find the time

@Phil3759 I have a Nexus 7 2012. I am interested in doing the builds if I can.

I was able to build a ROM for the Nexus 7 using the latest drivers from Google.

Is there a place I can start to read to learn how to do the builds?

I am gonna try and start reading http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2132672

start reading at cyanogenmod wiki to build cwm recovery
Once you build CWM, just replace bootable/recovery with my sources and read the main thread

I appreciate the feedback

Wipe data/factory reset keeps sdcard
Under Mounts and Storage: you can either format /data only (rm -rf keeping sdcard), sdcard only (rm -rf /data/media or /data/media/0 depending on how you set it up in Advanced menus) or both of them (true format command on /data partition)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but development on Philz recovery has ended.

I made it with cm-11 kernel, and tested with nexus 7 rolling with kk.
