I tried to flash TWRP but since then I can't boot anymore, i can't do a factory reset anymore. It don't matter what i do i alweys end up at the TWRP logo.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

First things first: Thanks for releasing TWRP for volantis so quickly.

First thing I tried was to apply my theme to it, but unfortunately the ui.zip doesn't seem to get picked up. Is theme support still WIP, or are there other things to consider beside the naming of the folder and the zip?
A theme you say...

Material like perhaps? ;)

5 and 9 would be sublime...

Have you done a backup yet? If so, please share your results.

It does seem too large to me...
I made a backup now with the compression option with boot, system, data, and it gives me 4,1GB.

I find still this a little big, Its on my other devices on average is 2-3 GB.



EDIT: Finally is 2.4 GB my backup, This makes much more sense to me ..

backup size was about 6.5gb, once compressed now 2.5gb, now on my otg drive.

Wow that's some compression! ?

Is that real 2.5gb?
yes is real , why not?

I've never seen a backup bigger than 3GB when is finish on my devices ..

When i have flash the only rom customs here for now i have find a bug. The installation of the ROM does not launch because is said for flounder,

I was forced to changed the updater-script and replace the flounder with volantis this:

( getprop("ro.product.device") == "volantis" || abort("This package is for "volantis" devices; )

And is working after..


I think this is a problem of the rom or problem with the signing of recovery, rom or recovery ?

Backups on this device are going to be much larger. The system partition is well over 2GB of actual data. The Nexus 9 is 64 bit and there's copies of almost every lib and binary in BOTH 64 bit and 32 bit form to better maintain compatibility with older apps. Further, the 64 bit libs and binaries are quite a bit larger than their 32 bit versions which accounts for much of the size increase on the Nexus 9 compared to other devices.

Thank you!

Thank you for N9 TWRP!

- One quick question. Any reason you chose to break your naming convention? In the past it has been:
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.1-XXXXX.img
where XXXXX=ro.product.device
So I thought it would be flounder instead of volantis (ro.product.name)?

Thanks again!
