Any themes working on N9???????
Decryption
So what exactly are the merits of a decrypted device? Has anybody expirienced anything to be "better". Is there a way for me to check the decryption status afer flashing TWRP?

I didn't notice any difference. I'm back to an encrypted device. Go to setting, security to check encryption status. Oh, one thing I did notice is when I flashed back to stock encrypted I did not use fastboot -w. I now don't have to supply a pin in twrp. That's a plus

Decrypted should be faster with memory reads and writes.

All. But they don't fill the screen.
I've already started working on a N9 version. But I'm currently enjoying a few days afk. Expect the release towards Christmas.
Sooo, tried to use TWRP Manager to flash TWRP Recovery from stock, failed, errored out crashed before even rebooting. Decided to flash through fastboot and now im in a TWRP recovery bootloop. /sigh Still encrypted (do have pattern "pin" lock) and it decrypts and updates partition but loops on reboot. And Elemental .07 kernel.
Edit: Got it revived by Flashing Elemental .08 in TWRP that I already had downloaded on the N9 and also wiping dalvik/cache.

Erased then flashed recovery via fastboot. Then reboot recovery. I get the little dead android saying no command. I press power and volume up and nothing happens. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
This was done after unlocking and a reboot.

Press power then vol up, then release power up. Should get you into the recovery

Weird
I boot into recovery and I think it's the stock recovery.
I think I flashed USBhost's recovery_fixed.img.
I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.
Maybe this may help

If you're still stuck be sure to post all input/output from terminal/cmd here
It's a funny coincidence you replied as I was reading your guide. The .img file is in the same folder I start the command line from. The output reads just like the picture in your guide
At this point I'm wondering if the recovery_fixed.img is supposed to look like stock/aosp and not like TWRP.
Feeling rather ignorant right now
Appreciate your help and I'll give it another go in the morning and post the output.
Many thanks
Happy Thanksgiving all
Here is a copy of the command prompt. Please advise if I'm doing this wrong.

Where are the TWRP backup files?
I successfully backed up with the latest twrp. I went to find the files and they are no longer on the sd card. I found them on /data/media/0/TWRP. I want to backup the directory to the PC to use on another Nexus 9. Using a file explorer there is an entry on the sd card called TWRP with a question mark. Is this a change to how TWRP works? Thanks,
Steve
Edit - RE flashed TWRP and it is now working. I did learn that /data/media/0/TWRP. is the correct path for the Sd card. After the reflash files are now there.

Very strange. I also flashed TWRP 2.8.2.1 with the same result. The only thing I've done since receiving the N9 was OEM unlock. No root, no ROM, just unlock. Feel like I'm missing something obvious.
Yes, something is indeed strange, you don't need root or anything to flash a new recovery just an unlocked bootloader
Try this
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
Use either twrp image and it should auto boot you to it
