[TWRP][3.3.1-0][BUMP][All Models] TWRP w/ Thermal F2FS [2019.12.23]

[blastagator]

Ive tried it several times...
Although it was after converting...
Do you think the conversion might have something to do with it?

I am building new version over night. The image files will be posted in the morning. Let me know how it works

Maybe now it'll work as it's from source and not a Frankenstein remix. -crosses fingers-

So is there any ROM which doesn't format system while installing? To create a "full" f2fs device?

Edit: NVM. I forgot on this device you have to use loki to flash. Re-reverse-engineered a 2.7 zip I had to get it installed. All good. Running properly on vs980. Thanks!

They've done some benchmarking on the nexus 10 and the general consensus is that since /system is read-only, reads are faster on ext4, and most ROM installers format /system specifically as ext4, it is just easier to run only /data and cache as F2FS. Otherwise (until F2FS is more widely adopted) you're stuck hand-editing system-updater scripts if you really want /system to be F2FS.

So does that mean we should be able to install any ROM and just format data and cache as F2FS? Doesn't the Rom still have to be F2FS compatible? Also, won't the ROM when installi g automatically format the cache and data as ext4? How to stop this? You said edit updater script. Could you PLESSE give us an example?

I don't think any ROM's format cache and /data. You have to do those yourself. As for editing the updater script, that involves unzipping the ROM and editing the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script file to not mkfs.ext4 /system and also mount /system as F2FS then re-zipping. That's real easy to mess up so good luck. Make a backup of the ROM file before you update it just in case.

I just wiped cache and dalvic cache and changed the /cache partition to f2fs and rebooted. Everything is working fine and cache held up as f2fs.

Now, if in twrp I formatted the /data partition as f2fs, would all my contents on my internal sdcard such as pictures etc be deleted as well? I want to set it up where my /cache and /data partitions are f2fs and /system is ext4

What ROM is it and i can convert it for you

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!
I formatted my /data partition to F2FS and lost ALL my internal data as well!
DO. A. BACKUP!

So I will have to adb sideload all my data back then?

Data destruction should be acknowledged before doing format and rewrite to other partition.

Process is not converting, its formatting.

So for people that dont know this, we should put a huge warning in OP and if possible in recovery before wipe trigger.

So I formatted my /data partition to F2FS and am getting the encryption unlock prompt as well. I verified that data_system.sh and init.g2.rc existed on my phone beforehand. I think the problem is that since /data is now F2FS it doesn't mount properly since fstab.g2 is still trying to mount it ext4 and so it assumes it must be encrypted.

I know I can go back to ext4 but I really want to get to F2FS. Can someone please tell me how to permanently change /fstab.g2? It gets replaced at each boot via some method that I am not familiar with.

This is on VS980 running CloudyG3 2.0 and Dorimanx kernel 8.5. Thanks in advance!

@luv2increase "So I will have to adb sideload all my data back then?"

I wonder if you backup everything via USB OTG prior to flashing the new recovery img- if restoring afterwards would end up working out alright???

I don't have a computer to recover from potential brickage issues so it's a bit of a gamble for me haha

Any input would be appreciated

Depends on what you mean by "everything". If you're just trying to save pics and media that should work. If you're trying to retain your whole ROM, apps and settings then I wouldn't think it would work.

Sideloading your personal data is an option.
Back it up BEFORE you convert.

Do we HAVE TO? I mean it would stupid proof things for the most part. Do you think that it's spoon feeding?

A couple of post back @dorimanx and i have noted that /data partition is not a viable partition to convert [yet].
Please only use /system and /cache as F2FS and keep /data either EXT3 or EXT4 to avoid complications.

@luv2increaseI wonder if you backup everything via USB OTG prior to flashing the new recovery img- if restoring afterwards would end up working out alright???

BEFORE any conversions are done please backup or remove ANY SDCard data you do not want to lose on an OTG and then convert then 'copy' back. But /data will not work on F2FS as of yet.

P.S. i put copy in ' ' because on the past I've learned to copy instead of move... It saves the hassle of recopying after testing.
