AND use this patch for f2fs-tools

f2fs-tools you can take here

And use ONLY omnirom's recovery(because only omnirom's recovery have "inline_xattr" patch)

Just before anyone jumps into this headfirst, make sure you understand what it is, as the OP is a bit spartan.

One question : what is that ... I understand this not .....

 

[munchy_cool]

so basically this converts user data partition to a new file system (f2fs) ?

Might be worth a read: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65330

Essentially its a lot faster for read/writes compared to EXT4

Yup. Couple of other quick examples from other forums of people trying this:

Be very careful when using f2fs... Basically it's very very fast, BUT you are stuck with it. You can't flash other kernels, and you can flash only certain roms that support f2fs, otherwise the rom reformats the system partition to ext4. I had this on my galaxy s3, and it got me in tons of trouble when I tried to flash anything to it. I had to go back to stock twice and restore my efs partition... It's a lot of work basically.

@op
please enhance your original post with more info about the F2FS that other can benefit from it.
your thread is a little misty.

thx in advance

Nexus 5 F2FS

So, what I should do is to reformat the partitions with the recovery, install CyanogenMod M3 release via sideload, and then do the same thing for your special kernel, right?

Yeah.

 

[willybarca]

do I have to install your kernel every time after cm update

 

[dennes544]

i can create zip with boot and you should just flash him, but yes every time after update

 

[CrypticRook]

I'm tempted, really tempted. May have to wait till it catches on a bit more. Glad to see real progress here though

So CM is absolutely necessary? With S3 any ROM can be restored after F2FS format and it worked

[dennes544]

on s3 f2fs by default, right? on nexus 5 f2fs is port, and so far only on CM

 

[zimlokks]

No its not default on the S3, and yes and other CM based ROMs

 

[dennes544]

I will release AOSP-based kernel very soon
