Hey, I've downloaded TWRP Multirom, and formatted Data, Cache, System to F2FS succesfully. But, having flashed today's nightly gives me bootloop. What did you do to boot with F2FS enabled? Sorry for my english

Hey,

I wanna try out CM, currently running on 4.4.4.
Is there a Nightly you would suggest to take or just use the latest?

 

[dragos281993]

What kernel are you using?

I'm using Quanta-v4, with interactive (CPU)+ ondemand (GPU)+ deadline (I/0). So far it appears to be the best kernel when it comes to great performance and good battery life at the same time. Plus that you can OC the CPU a little bit from 1512 MHz to 1620 or even 1728 MHz.

You should go for the latest nightly, of course. Be sure to make a factory reset with all the wipes needed (if you want no errors), and be careful to flash the correct version of Gapps and your device will "fly without turbulence". Also flash Quanta-v4 which you can control with "Kernel Adiutor" found in the Play Store and you'll have all the tweaking you need, if you're interested in that, plus lots of gamma profiles meant to make your device's display look much better (currently using "obsanity amoled" for it is the best option so far, imo).
>>> So after "consuming" the well known KitKat, take a sip of water and try the new "Lollipop". Hopefully you'll feel its taste, cause as we all know, pretty much everything tastes like nothing after you eat a good chocolate bar. LOL. But this particular Lollipop will blow your mind, believe me.

Did you have to reset your device or can you convert an existing installation?

Well, when you change the file system format, you basically erase everything. The instructions I followed tells you how to backup the "data" partition and restore after you change the file system from ext4 to f2fs, but no matter what I tried, the backup folder didn't show up anywhere in my device after I had pushed it with adb. So you can say that it was a clean install. And not to forget to mention, I didn't follow the "all f2fs..." tutorial cause the instructions were made by its creator in a hurry, I assume, and I couldn't boot my device. And I tried that tutorial more than once and still didn't work. If you want, I can give you the tutorial I followed.

Thanks, everything worked out just fine!
Just one thing is a bit strange. I charged my phone to 100%, then rebooted and it went down to 90%. Charged to 100% again and rebooted, now 91%. Anything I can do about this?

If you want to upgrade, you should probably do a factory reset and then flash the latest nightly. then the Gapps for 5.1, if you don't want to get any unexpected errors. You can backup the data of the apps you want, with Titanium Backup before.

Probably your battery is not as "sinewy and powerful" as once was. lol. Mine was at 55%, and it stayed at 55% after reboot. Went and checked my email, opened one, clicked on it, it sent me to YouTube, watched 4 minutes of a video, and the battery went to 54%. Maybe it won't matter but here's the tutorial I followed to migrate to f2fs: http://obihoernchen.net/1032/convert-your-nexus-4-to-f2fs-without-loosing-data/ . You can skip the backup part, cause it you won't be able to see it (the backup) after you push it back to the device through adb. You'll understand what I'm talking about when you read the stuff written there.

That's precisely the reason I asked this. This morning I saw in Cyan Delta all this stuff about f2fs in this new build and I was curious if it worked. I followed some instructions to change from ext4 to f2fs, and now it's on the boot screen, optimizing apps. I'm expecting my device to be snappier now.

Cool! Are you using a custom kernel & what guide did you use?

 

[mangoman]

can you get notifications to work? For me it seems almost none of the apps have notifications now.

This is what I followed: http://obihoernchen.net/1032/convert-your-nexus-4-to-f2fs-without-loosing-data/
Now the tutorial, as you'll see in the title, is giving you the steps needed if you don't want to lose your data. The thing is, its "creator" used cm11 to migrate his device's partitions to f2fs and unfortunately at step no.8, after doing what it said there, the backup still didn't appear in the restore section. which means I couldn't restore my data, so I did all the process again without the backup part.
So at the "Prerequisites", you'll need the latest cm12.1 nightly, a custom kernel that supports f2fs; I used Quanta-v4 cause it seems to be the best out there at the moment, and the twrp recovery given there. Forget about the "fix permissions" file; you won't need it if you don't do the backup part.
If you don't have one of the latest cm12.1 ROMs installed on your phone, you should do that first, and backup the data of the apps that you don't want to lose after this whole process. You can do that with Titanium backup and COPY the backup folder to your computer, cause it will be deleted when you format the "data" partition to f2fs. SO, follow the first step (circle/bowline, or whatever you want to call it, cause it's not a number), and the 2nd one, then skip the next 3 steps, which means that you got to the wipe part. Do those 2 steps with the wiping process, then skip the next steps in which you'd restore the backup data and go straight to the part where you flash your kernel. I let the phone boot up first to make sure that everything worked, then after configuring what had been given me to configure and got to the home screen. I rebooted into recovery and flashed the Gapps.
If I missed something, be free to tell me or ask me if you didn't understand something I just said above.

Did you, by any chance, changed the multirom twrp recovery, then manually flashed the new nightly with it? Cause what I did to update to the last nightly was to just tap the install zip" button in Cyan Delta, and everything finished successfully. And I left the same twrp recovery I used to make the transition from ext4 to f2fs.

 

[ciao99]

Yes, notifications are working fine. Instead of heads up or just app's icon on the status bar, i get the sender of the message like "@ message from X"

Try to update with Cyan Delta. You can find it in the Play Store.

Just updated to cm-12.1-20150507-NIGHTLY-mako and the phone is stuck on the "Google" screen when booting.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Anything I can do short of reflashing?
Thanks

Did you made any modifications in your current version prior flashing the latest one ?

Not that I can think of.
Gapps, SuperSU, Stock Kernel, TWRP.

I tried flashing the same update or the previous one from the cmupdater directory and the issue remains.

Does it stiil got the Very Low in call volume. I am fed up with this issue....????????

Steps for an awesome battery backup

Guys, yesterday I made some modifications in the stock CM based kernel & the results are amazing, you can try this out by yourself.

Those who are getting poor battery backup can try below steps.
Steps:
1- Enable root access of your phone by going to Developers option.
2- Download the Kernel Adiutor app.
3- Go to the CPU settings & change CPU governor to "Ondemand". (If it is on "ondemand" mode just leave it intact)
4- Go to the CPU Hotplug option & just enable it. (This is the core functionality of Qualcomm battery saving technique, which actually offlines all of your 3 cores & put 4th core on lowest frequency i.e 384 Mhz when it is not required.)

This above procedure will save enough juice of your battery & you will notice differences for sure. Less battery draining when you are not using your device. You can check "Frequency Table" in Kernel Adiutor app to test device's deep sleep time & the frequency on which you device was at most of the time.

Thanks,
AJ
