[HOWTO][Bacon][F2FS-ALL] F2FS Filesystem

[Jole7]

I have followed the above guide, each time after doing so, the system just reboots back to Philz recovery and won't boot the rom, Any thoughts or ideas Jole7?

Some details please rom? kernel?
Make sure the kernel you use is f2fs compatible. If the problem is still there do the process again with a clean flash.

I was using install on system Sultanxda's CM13 CAF with lightning Kernel V11 on EXFAT wanting to go to F2FS.

You had the system EXFAT? You must be on EXT4 to convert it to F2FS with backup-restore.

 

[DarKAngel1234]

Yes all three partitions were on EXT4 including system and it didn't work.

Don't know what's the problem with this rom try from scratch with a clean flash. Are you on philz 6.59.4?

 

[DarKAngel1234]

Yes it was Philz built by katinatez if that makes any difference.

Are you still successfully running the latest version of darkobas rom with lightning kernel and all partitions as f2fs? It's weird because back when I tried the earlier versions of darkobas, your f2fs method worked. But now the rom won't even boot. Just sits at the 1+ logo. Any tips? I made sure I'm running the latest firmware, using clockworkmod advanced v6.59.4 made sure /data and /cache were already f2fs, and then backed up, wiped everything and formatted system as f2fs, then restored. Tried about 3 or 4 times until I gave up. This really sucks because I got to experience how amazing f2fs was

I'm on jgcaap's cm13 rom now. Try with system ext4 and data-cache f2fs i don't know if the rom or kernel dosn't support system on f2fs now but not a big deal ext4 on system is fast also.

p.s must be in kernel that doesn't allow system f2fs to boot try also with previous versions of lightning kernel.

I am sure /system f2fs is a Rom problem if everything is ok in the fstab.

The problem is that Darkobas rom doesn't support f2fs and a few builds back i made it 3 partitions f2fs with a workaround with lightning kernel and philz recovery.

It baffles me that these developers are locking their roms to ext4 ONLY. Simply doesn't make any sense. There's a way to setup the fstab to support both file systems when being flashed. Why all the lack of support for f2fs?

I don't know how to modify the fstab sorry but i have seen here how to modify the updater-script.

Would be awesome

Is there a simple way to add f2fs support for /system in a ROM that only supports /data and /cache? It seems the only reason all of our ROMs don't support f2fs on /system is due to laziness of adding support to the kernel the ROM comes with. People say its useless having /system as f2fs because it isn't used often, but I beg to differ.. I flash mods and updates in to /system all the time. F2fs would greatly help with this, along with the benefit of much higher read speed which = faster boot time. Just kinda bothers me f2fs support is 'half-assed' to put it as kindly as possible. Instead of adding full support, we're told its not worth the effort and we should just accept it. Sorry for the rant, I just expected to see more progress after dealing with this dilemma for over 2 years now. Any help on modifying android 6.0 to allow /system as f2fs would be greatly appreciated. Seems like I'm gonna have to do this on my own
