f2fs

I've seen a couple of requests for the F2FS file system support in some of the CM12.x based rom threads and did some googling on why anyone would want F2FS instead of EXT4. There are also reports, by Nexus 7 users, that converting to F2FS fixes their performance issues. So after some...

Ok guys, just as the title states; I am having no luck in converting my /data filesystem to F2FS using TWRP versions 2.7.0.0 - 2.8.7.0 and its f***ing killing me as every other aspect of the tablet works flawlessly. I have modified many tablets/phones and I most definitely know what I am doing...

Good afternoon, I am wondering how to do this... i built latest TWRP for nexus 5 with full F2FS support added (recovery kernel does support F2FS) : i can format /system + /data + /cache to F2FS and mount them from recovery once done... :good: i tweaked a homebuilt CM 12.1 installer in order...

F2FS improves the benchmark score in most (if not all) devices by around 20%.. For testing: I have modified an APK containing Aroma Installer to flash recoveries to fotakernel for our ZR's. This is an initial release.. It contains 2 recoveries. PhilZ Touch and TWRP with f2fs (TWRP) support...

I'd like to give F2FS a try on my N10 but I'm not sure where to start. I know I need both a ROM and kernel that's compatible with F2FS but not much beyond that, so if anyone can help point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!

So a while back I posted about getting F2FS working on the international M8 GPE. No one replied. But I figured it out anyway :p Here are the steps you need to take to get /data/, /system/, and /cache/ to be the much faster F2FS file system, instead of the slow EXT4. Keep in mind this will...

Hey guys, I am thinking of giving f2fs a shot due to some rumors. As I am sticking to the CM12.1 nightlies, I am flashing new builds every now and then. So modifying the fstab everytime after flashing is time consuming. Is there some way to flash a zip for f2fs support and be done? Rei

Is anyone interested in doing F2FS on the S6? I am no developer, and I realize F2FS requires a recovery, rom & kernel that support it, but I am curious if F2FS would make any difference in day-to-day use. If there are any devs that want to take a shot at it, I am willing to test.

Everything said in title, simply wanted to get some imagination how many of the m7 useres use f2fs. Don't know if there are other roms than AICP at this time supporting f2fs L

Hi! I got twrp v2.8.6.0 on s4 mini gt-i9190, and wanna try f2fs on kitkat roms. The problem is that i did format f2fs to system, cache, and data folders. But when i flash ANY rom (carbon, cm11 M12, slimkat, etc etc) the system folder gets reverted to EXT4. Tried the "force f2fs format" option...

Hi all, this rom is built from cm sources with stock kernel. It has some extra cherry picks installed to enable either f2fs or ext4 to work. All else is stock (currently). To flash it choose either all ext4 or data and cache partitions as f2fs. Full format is recommended with first install...

I have converted my Nexus 7(grouper) to all f2fs and flashed slimlp. How do I convert it Ext4 file system and flash CM 12 Nightlies.?

Hi All, This rom is a f2fs friendly version of cm12.1 using AK's kernel. Bugs will be as per the cm rom. Im not really chaing much from stock CM12.1 at the moment, as Im playing with toolchains and build environments, so minimal changes from source. Ive been using CM12.1 source in f2fs mode for...

Hi, I've recently sent my Nexus 7 1st gen to Asus for repair and they replaced the motherboard. With the new nands the previously slow and painful to use nexus got a new life and its faster than ever even with lolipop. My question is, should I stick with the default file system that is known...

What is the latest consensus on using F2FS on a Nexus 5? Does it offer a performance increase? Stability? Is there a good how-to wiki or thread in place these days? I've been holding out to see.

Hi, got some difficulty flashing. Just trying to flash liquid smooth onto my old s3, but having some difficulty. Previously loaded with a temasek rom and with devil recovery, pretty sure that the partitions had been reformatted to f2fs to boot. Well, I tried to reformat the partitions to ext4...

So I've been searching everywhere to add F2FS support to TWRP and getting steadily frustrated that there seems to be no one willing to help those of us who are learning by doing. I'm willing to try to put together a tutorial to help others, but I'm running into roadblock after roadblock to even...

Anyone with updater-script knowledge would be helpful. I'm trying to make changes to my updater-script in my ROM to mount /system and /data in EXT4 or F2FS accordingly. This is to reduce the number of ROMs I have to upload (one for each file system type), plus it saves time for people who...

Recently found an article on XDA Portal about benchmarking F2FS vs EXT4 which forced me into conclusions that F2FS is better for DB operations and some WRITE operations, but worse for READ/SEEK/SWEEP or something else. I know there are some kernels for SGS3 which support F2FS but I did not...
