I've been doing a bit of reading about disabling encryption on the N9 and I'd like to give it a go to see if it makes the table even more responsive and stops the table from hanging, which it still does occasionally.

Does the Slim kernel support this? i.e, if I reformat the data partition will Slim keep it unencrypted when it boots up?

If not, can I use FED-Patcher with Slim? Is it just a matter of flashing the FED-Patcher.zip after I've reformatted the data partition? I guess I would need to reflash FED-Patcher after every weekly update then, right?

Would I be better off going with a different kernel rather than using FED-Patcher? If I did that, I guess I'd need to reflash that after every weekly update, right?

Thanks for any advice,

james

Our ramdisk for flounder doesn't force encrypt.

Well good news, I was able to get hangouts to stop asking to set a default sms app.

However you will need to wipe app data to the google apps like hangouts, possibly playstore frameworks and services apps and reboot.

Edit: Anyone with flounder_lte willing to test?

Yea I would have needed to see his source not pure nexus as PN has no source for flounder. At any rate saw some suspicious overlays and loopy mkfile calls that could explain it. Will build overnight

Ah that makes sense now. Thanks for sharing that bit of knowledge. I have little experience with ROM development :) From scouring the web for solution, it seems the issue is occurring primarily on ROMS that have some CM/Lineage based framework in it across devices. I've seen complaints on Galaxy Tabs as well as other Nexus tablets.

If you need a guinea pig to test the fix, let me know and I'll be happy to install it to test.

Might have solved. Been more than a day no hangouts complaining. Still would like some one with flounder_lte to test.

Great! I'll flash it on mine to see what happens. I'm assuming it's the latest dailies. Neither me nor my friend has the LTE version unfortunately so we won't know if it broke LTE :(

Any chance I can get that personal build to test with? I think if an LTE user test is necessary, it would probably have to be a special build with the upcoming August security fixes. It doesn't look like there are many N9_LTE active users :(

Flounder LTE here

I just had another frustrating attempt to use my Nexus 9 with 7.1.1 stock ROM his morning, and I am fed up as it's practically useless. I am thinking to try a custom ROM. I see you're looking for testers, and I am willing to help if you explain what exactly you need. I am a moderately savvy user, using Ubuntu Linux for desktop, and I have ADB and Android SDK installed.
