F2FS - is it worth it?

[EdenGottlieb]

I've seen many people talking about F2FS but I didn't find any relevant threads concerning it. I want to use it on Sultanxda's CM 13 (I know I need some kind of special kernel or ROM version). My question is - is it worth it? Performance wise? Battery wise? Are there any reliability issues? Thanks!!

I asked this question ages ago as I too was interested...no answer. Basically, do your own research and draw your own conclusions, starting with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697069

Day to day usage : you won't notice it
Copy/moving : just slight increments
Risk: slightly
Time to do : depending upon how much files u have in phone, I have nearly 55gb of files so it took quite a while to copy it to pc then move it again in phone.
Worth? : mostly not soo much, but u can try

Definitely worth it. Installing apps and launching them is noticeably faster that ext4, especially in the long term.

You will probably notice nothing with day to day usage. It has been proven that F2FS provides better performance, but it is not something that can be noticed outside of benchmarks. It is like taking the time to flash and configure a custom kernel. Would it be worth the time and effort to get a little performance and battery boost? (custom kernels have a more noticeable difference without the stress of wiping)

No its not worth. I have noticed data corruption on almost every kmsg i got from the device. In my opinion it isnt stable yet.

With the potential headache that can come from it, I do not think it's worth it. With 3gb of RAM and 2.5ghz, I feel the Oneplus One doesn't really need f2fs anyways. Just my opinion though. To each their own
