Recovery and Rom for All-F2FS
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:
Compatible ROM:
(All credits to authors. I have only made them compatible with F2FS)
(Recovery has a RED back button to remember you that you are using the F2FS recovery!)
If you get something like "Unable to mount '/cache'", Flash FormatPartitions.zip and reboot recovery.
Enjoy
Phone is snappy and smooth with All-F2FS.
To go back:
- Flash a "normal" recovery
- Format Data
- Reboot Recovery
- Flash RestorePartitions.zip (Untested)
- Reboot Recovery
- Flash your previous ROM
(Required commit)
