Props to @BeansTown106 for source, @GtrCraft for PureHammerhead, and KrexusROM @KreAch3R​​ @Jax Teller for the device, kernel, vendor, and hardware trees, and @dragos281993 for PureMako

READ EVERYTHING HERE BEFORE FLASHING:
-Updating to TWRP 3.1.1-0 is recommended
-Use BeansGapps Mini https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=171927
-Not prerooted. SuperSU stable or Magisk stable recommended
-No camera included. Google Camera 2.5.052 recommended http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-5-052-release/
-As of the 4/23 release the ro.opa.eligible_device=true is no longer in the system/build.prop. This will cause the Google App to use Google Now interface instead of Google Assistant. If you want to use Google Assistant use the Get Assistant - Root app on the PlayStore (choose NEW method when prompted) OR if you use Magisk theres a Google Assistant Enabler module for this.
-Want a Pixel Launcher that allows swipe up to App Drawer in landscape? Sideload the Android O Pixel Launcher from apkmirror.com http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ixel-launcher-o-3952143-android-apk-download/
-Netflix casts fine but throws an Error on playback. Sideload Netflix 4.8.5 from apkmirror.com OR use the zipaligned Netflix4.8.5-signed.apk in the ROM Download folder https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472 . The zipaligned apk will never show up as needing an update on PlayStore.
-Features? Updates? Read the changelog below.

Hi is it compatible with f2fs format?

Kernels support f2fs, firstly, not ROMs. The stock AOSP kernel with this ROM doesn't support f2fs. But if you find a custom kernel that supports f2fs you can use it and format your data and cache partitions to f2fs on any ROM. Secondly, f2fs is only faster on writes, so only data and cache partitions benefit from that file system. ROM support for f2fs (as had been popular a couple years ago) would only be to allow system partition to also support f2fs, which this ROM doesn't have. That type of support is pretty much a thing of the past because it's a pain in the ass to do since ROM zips started using block storage convention and there's no speed advantage to having system be f2fs anyway. Make sense?

I don't wanna hear about all the common f2fs issues that have nothing to do with the ROM if you do try it. These include:. Couldn't flash ROM/GAPPS because it says system partition too small, couldn't make or restore a nandroid, lost all my data because I didn't offload it first, lost all my data when my data partition got corrupted, wrong internal storage size reported, can't take photo/screenshot write to internal storage.

If you're smarter than the average problem solver and have a PC, an OTG, and enjoy offloading and moving stuff back, then the modest (if not just placebo) speed gain of going f2fs may be worth the risk of wasted time and lost data. If you're​ the user that uses a toolkit instead of a terminal, then I'd let that sleeping dog lie.

Your point(s) well taken. Personally I have found little to gain from f2fs., except for my old TF300T ;)

This rom is superb!!! It contains just about everything I had ever dreamt of seeing on the lovely, old Nexus 7, from Nougat in full flow to Google assistant and Night Light. I can even watch some previously impossible TV by
using the 'hide' function in the new version 11.6 of Magisk along with Magisk Manager from the Playstore. Many thanks to the Dev for giving my Nexus 7 a new lease of life. This is super work.

The ROM is in sync with @BeansTown106 source with the exception of my removing Google Camera 4.x from the Gapps because it's incompatible with Flo. Removing gboard would leave you with no keyboard, see the changelog in the OP.
Are you bumping up against a full system when attempting to flash more mods?
You're welcome to remove whatever system apps you want (before or after booting) if you need more system partition space. That said, the only apps I'd consider removing from built in Gapps, if they are still in source on the next go around, would be Hangouts, Chrome, and Photos.
