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

Oct 20, 2014 (2.8.0.2)
**All versions except d800 [which is available now] will be compiled over night. I will post the .img files in the morning and the .zip after work. (~5PM EST)
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?
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?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.

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.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.

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

@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
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.
