@Swapnil Solanki I am using your CM13 Build 1. Does the Zeus kernel included in it support f2fs? II tried it, but ended up in a boot loop. Which of the kernels you listed in the OP should I flash now?

Did you backup your system & data? Did you flash the recovery Swapnil has mentioned in the OP?

You need to free up some space on your SD card and make a backup then. You can use a card reader or another phone to free up the data on your SD card and then take a backup.

Whats your kernel ?
Does your kernel is really support f2fs ?
Try to reboot recovery after changing file system then try to mount again

 

[harsh.]

I have changed back to ext4 .. I'll try again after sometime.I flashed kernel given in OP but it stuck in bootloop.
I'm still rookie in all such things?

Yeah, it'll allow you to change the filesystems to F2FS.

It should still be F2FS after flashing KK ROMs. But LP and MM ROMs include an EXT4 image in their zips, so flashing MM or LP ROMs will convert the system partition to EXT4. Data and cache will stay as EXT4.

Formatting data always wipe /data/media. Wiping data with sprout8 recovery keeps /data/media, but as OP says that this is for sprout 4, it'll either not work with sprout8 (not sure) or wipe /data/media if you wipe /data.

As u said system will change back to ext4 then what is meaning to change to f2fs!! Unable to understand![emoji22] can u explain...!
Thanks in advance

The point is to change the filesystem of data to F2FS. Keep system ext4.
If you want to change system to F2FS as well, read the OP. He wrote instructions on how to keep system F2FS.

 

[Swapnil Solanki]

Stop saying F2FS is not working. You're converting CM13's ext4 to F2FS, The kernels available in the OP are not yet modified for CM13, Hence you'll face bootloops. I'll Upload a CM13 compatible kernel for those who're trying to convert CM13's ext4 partition to F2FS.

TWRP-2.8.7.0 with "All-F2FS" support​

I have modified the standard TWRP recovery to work with F2FS partitions.
This is different from the previous recoveries that i published.
This is for "All-F2FS" that mean that /system, /cache and /data are formatted with F2FS.
Keep in mind that this can work only with a compatible kernel.

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.

Download:
Zeus-Kernel.zip (CM12.1) - Here
Zeus-Kernel-MM.zip ( MM ) - Here
recovery-sprout-F2FS-All.img - Here

Changelogs:
-29/10/15: Initial Release

To switch your /system, /cache and /data partitions to F2FS follow instructions:

You need:
-Two files you can download above.
-A Android One (Sprout4) device obviously.
-Patience and Time.

Steps:

• Flash this recovery with Fastboot (Maybe Flashify, Your wish)
• Reboot in new recovery
• Backup your /system , /data
• (a) Go to Wipe, then Advanced Wipe, Select /System.
• (b) Click on "Repair or Change File System"
• (c) Click on "Change File System" option
• (d) Select F2FS then Swipe to Change.
• Repeat steps (a) to (d) with /data and /cache as you did with /system.
• Now come back to main screen and go to "Settings"
• Select "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
• Go to Restore menu and restore your previously backed up data.
• Now Flash the Kernel zip provided above.
• Reboot.
• Done.

It's easier than it seems.

To restore partitions to stock:

• Backup /system and /data
• Change File System to EXT4.
• Go to Restore menu and restore /system and /data again.

Hope there's no error in this thread. I've personally tested this procedure.
Enjoy.

My TWRP Recovery is not detecting my SD card due to Marshmallow format the SD card as internal memory.

Would this Recovery solve this issue?

No, it won't. Android encrypts the SD card when you format it as internal memory, and no recovery can decrypt it. To use your SD card with TWRP again, you should reformat it as portable storage - or you will only be able to sideload ZIPs/flash ZIPs from the internal storage.

I have a Lava Pixel v1, sprout8 32 gig model. Can someone point me to a thread with a recovery specifically for the sprout8 ? I am getting a bit confused with the sprout(4|8) situation. Thanks on advance.
@Swapnil Solanki, also can you tell me what procedure is required to flash the recovery??

Your device isn't sprout, it's second generation android one that's "seed"

check the android one 2nd generation development forum to get a custom recovery for your device

But as far as I can see, the build number on the stock ROM did mention sprout rather than seed.

Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_One

This mentions that the seed devices have QCOM chipsets, while mine is a MTK.

Not all seed devices runs on a Qualcomm chipset, some (at least one) like pixel uses an mtk one

What about the build number then? Why did it have AOSP_sprout* ???

 

[DarkHeart Z]

I think Zeus is the only kernel for sprout that supports f2fs. Your safest bet would be to install the latest Zeus(4.5) kernel.

How about thunderzap ? It doesn't support f2fs ? I tried converting to f2fs ( data and cache ) yesterday but stuck at boot animation .

I'm not quite sure. You've quoted me from half a year ago. There's bound to be added functionality for ThunderZap in this time. Unfortunately, since I've changed my phone I haven't been following new updates.
