What is F2FS?

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.

What is All-F2FS?

We used F2FS only for /data. It was simply because we have only to flash a compatible Kernel and Format /data partition. With All-F2FS we use F2FS for all partitions and we need a compatible ROM

Instructions:

(All credits to authors. legolas93 only made them compatible with F2FS)
  • Download compatible ROM
  • Download FormatPartitions.zip
  • Download "special" TWRP for All-F2FS: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-mako-All-F2FS.img
  • (This is different for that of simply F2FS)
  • Copy FormatPartitions.zip and ROM on Phone
  • Flash "special" TWRP with Fastboot
  • Flash FormatPartitions.zip with new Recovery
  • Reboot Recovery
  • Flash ROM with new Recovery
  • (Flash GApps with new Recovery)
  • Go to Wipe Menu and press Format Data (The Big BUTTON!) (You will LOSE all your Data! Music, Movies etc!!)
  • Reboot

(Recovery has a RED back button to remember you that you are using the F2FS recovery!)

Phone is snappy and smooth with All-F2FS.



Revert to EXT4

- Flash a "normal" recovery
- Format Data
- Reboot Recovery
- Flash RestorePartitions.zip (Untested)
- Reboot Recovery
- Flash your previous ROM


(Required commit)

Thanks for this detailed thread. :) It will help lot of the users to actually know which ROM,Kernels are F2FS compatible. :)
It's just easy as cake to make every rom out there f2fs compatible. I just make the roms from the psx dev, because in my opinion these are the absolute fastest roms out there. I can just recommend to all to just try psx402 with ak kernel on art. Unbelievable :)

What's the actual advantage of F2FS, compared to EXT4 for example?

you should just link my folder and not the roms itself, cause I always update the daily builds for the roms. Noone will find the roms you linked, cause they are not there anymore.
And I deletet plsx, cause there is no use for it since psx is out. Same rom, same speed, just more features in PSX.

I see psx 4.0.3on your Google drive, but on the psx forums I can only download 4.0.2. What sorcery is this? :p Can we get changelog? Thanks


Edit: I spotted OmniSwitch in 4.0.3 version.

i just spent the last hour mocking around on the phone
these are my findings:

from mikaole's drive, i managed to get rusty's build working after i manually formatted the cache directory
i didn't follow the instructions from OP since i'm on f2fs for data already

anyway after i got it working with slim's kernel, i found that it is not possible for me to use jolinard's selectetable kernel....

i'm back on purity now with only data as f2fs
thanks for everyone's good work in putting this together, i'm not critising, just reporting back what happened

hopefully the kinks in the system will be ironed out next time i try going all f2fs

I did use rusty's build on full f2fs with jolinard's hellsdoctor selectable kernel.

I hope you renamed the kernel before flashing it :)

I just can not believe how fast PSLX + Matrix + F2FS is!

It totally worth migrate from EXT4, i think i've never felt a so smooth, fast and stable experience!

Thanks!
