[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Sure, np. Thanks, enjoy your vacation.

As it turns out, I'm still having a bunch of issues with TWRP and f2fs on my T889. Only TWRP 2.8.4 can convert /data and /cache to f2fs successfully, but no 2.8.4+ version can successfully backup /data in the f2fs format. Also, in CM11, anytime I use "Reboot Recovery" from the homescreen, I get an infinite bootloop between the Samsung logo and the TWRP logo - I cannot enter recovery, or boot anymore, and have to Odin back to stock.

So, long story short, I really really wanted to be using f2fs on /cache and /data, but there's just too many issues with the TWRP builds for some reason. If your experimental 2.8.7 version solves the f2fs problems, I'd be so so happy and use f2fs with no issues. Sorry, I'm just excited to hopefully have a working f2fs TWRP experience, and hoping you have been able to work your awesome dev magic on TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Please test http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-t0ltetmo.img.tar for your issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay, I will try to test later today, or at least tomorrow. This has no chance of hard bricking the device, correct? A soft brick is obviously no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You should be OK, just be around a computer to reflash a good working recovery with Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Oh, okay. Well, just one last thing before I flash: I notice that the 2.8.7.1 recovery image in greater than 8mb. For my Note II (and I think every other as well), the recovery partition mmcblk0p9 is only 8mb, and I do not think it will work trying to flash a 9mb TWRP in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Sorry you are right. I need to look into making the kernel smaller.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay, np. And, you meant TWRP, not the kernel, right? So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to testing the version with *hopefully* f2fs fixes. Just let me know, and thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
TWRP has it's own kernel embedded in the recovery.img. Can you do me a favor and give me the output of uname -a in TWRP terminal or adb shell in TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Oh, okay, I did not know that. Erm, I'm not exactly familiar with ADB or the terminal command of TWRP (and I don't even have ADB on my PC anyway).

When I go into the TWRP Terminal Command, it instructs me to select a file, and I'm unsure of what to do if I just want to input "uname -a". How do I go about using the TWRP terminal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Type in TWRP terminal

uname -a

Post the results please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Yes, I know what you want me to do. However, when I go to TWRP/Advanced/Terminal Command, it displays some of the typical root folders (like boot, data, dev, lib, etc.) and says "Browse to Starting Folder". What should I select for a starting folder before typing "uname -a"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You can start from any folder. After you select the folder the terminal will come up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Oh, wow, it really is that simple. Sorry about that, just wanted to be sure.

So, using TWRP 2.8.7, t0ltetmo, here is the readout of "uname -a": "Linux localhost 3.0.64-CM-g973b4e5-dirty #26 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 17 19:58:25 EDT 2014 armv71 GNU/Linux"

Is that what you are looking for? And, is those are the details about the kernel built into TWRP, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Please let me know if http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-t0ltetmo.img.tar boots. I changed it to use the omni smdk4412 kernel and LZMA ramdisk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay, I will try tomorrow. Does it matter that, as far as my OS goes, I am using CM11 with the AGNi kernel? Or, is the TWRP kernel completely separate/independent from the OS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
TWRP is independent of the Android OS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay, so I Odin'd it, and 2.8.7.1 installs fine, and I'm able to reboot recovery and all that jazz. So, what else would you like me to test? Should I try wiping everything, and seeing if f2fs is fixed? And, if so, could I just try my CM11 build again?

Update: I was unable to make an f2fs backup in 2.8.7.1, though I was able to format /data and /cache to f2fs, I think. There are two other issues, now, though: 1) I keep getting this notification when booting into recovery: "TWRP may have detected an unmodified system partition," and 2) there are countless "unable to mount [insert partition here]" errors (including /data and /cache, especially, and thus backing up an f2fs /data partition fails) every time I use TWRP 2.8.7.1.

Here is a log from my TWRP:

http://paste.omnirom.org/view/318751ef
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
So, do you think the mounting issue, and the other issues, might be related to the new kernel you tried?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yes, I imported f2fs into the kernel, please test http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-t0ltetmo.img.tar for f2fs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Is that a different 2.8.7.1 build? Because I already tried the first 2.8.7.1 you gave me, and it caused all the mounting errors, and not being able to backup stuff. See Post #814.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
It is a different build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay. I will test it out, and let you know if it's any better. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Oh, wait, I noticed again that it is over the 8mb limit for my recovery partition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Sorry, I needed to re-enable LZMA RD. Please test http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-t0ltetmo.img.tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
np. So, this recovery.img is 8.01mb, it seems. Isn't that still a bit too large, since the partition cuts off right at 8? I just want to be sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Going to need to trim a bit more. Please stand by.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Sure, sure. It's okay, I could not even begin to build recoveries like you are doing. Thank you for all your hard work at helping the community like this.

I'll only be able to test for today, and possibly tomorrow though, as I'm going back to college Thursday and really wanted to have f2fs setup much before then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Just under 8 MB, http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-t0ltetmo.img.tar

Had to remove TTF fonts though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay, I'll be trying it, I suppose. Thanks, and I will let you know how it goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
There wasn't enough space to use them, so it will use the monospace font.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Well, this version seems much better. I can "Reboot Recovery" from my homescreen with no resulting bootloops, and I can successfully format to f2fs, and backup /data formatted as f2fs, and I do not see any mounting issues, and I can restore f2fs partitions easily.

There are a few new problems, though:

1) By removing the TTF fonts, a large chunk of the text does not even display, as every part of the font is now huge and things are very very cut off. It makes things hard to use and navigate. Could you maybe put the font files back in, and take out something else? I do not use the themes feature, for instance; if you could somehow figure out how to keep the TTF font in.

2) Even if /data is formatted to f2fs, using "Format Data" uses make_ext4fs instead of the f2fs formatting tools (I think mkfs.f2fs). Thus, it formats f2fs /data back to ext4.

3) The f2fs backup of /cache is very very small (it might not be backing things up properly).

#1 is probably the sole biggest problem left, since I suppose for #2 I could just reformat /data back to f2fs manually, and I would not use #3 very much (/cache backups aren't strictly needed, of course).

So, essentially, the TTF fonts would let me (and others) have a more-or-less f2fs working TWRP. Your most recent build (without TTF) was 7.62mb, whereas the one right before this one was 8.01mb. Getting the TTF in is so close!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can you do me a favor and get the output of cat /proc/partitions for me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Is this through TWRP terminal, or Terminal Emulator app? And, is that the exact command?

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Does that help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yes, can you see if http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-t0ltetmo.img.tar fits?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Yes, that version seems like it fits. I flashed it with no problems. So, how did you make it fit? And, is this version just fixing the TTF font, or also the Format Data with f2fs tools, etc.?

I'll have to test this one to make sure nothing has changed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
All the changes we have been testing, I added back TTF fonts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Okay. The fonts look great now, thanks.

But, now, there is one last glaring problem: a TWRP nandroid backup of /data (partitioned to f2fs) is rather small compared to the actual size /data takes up. This is strikingly similar to the behavior of backing up /cache, which turns out very very small, compared to what /cache really took up. When I wipe and restore a backup with /data and /cache, most of my apps have lost all of their data, and many of the apps have to redownload needed files, and the nandroid restore does not take up even close to the same amount of space it was taking before the wipe. What could this be? Did you add in the f2fs utilities completely? I'm starting to think I'll just give up and not use it, because I need to start setting up my phone by tomorrow morning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can you post /tmp/recovery.log for analysis?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Here is the log from my backup/restore (attached):
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
What is the size of /external_sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/42f7d9178b6e9fd7/cm11 f2fs Fifa/data.f2fs.win ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
data.f2fs.win is 265mb, and when I restored my TWRP nandroid with that /data backup, my /data partition had used about 1gb of space. However, I know from DiskInfo that my /data partition before wiping/restoring was full with 2gb of stuff.

Oh, I installed the Fifa soccer app as a test to make it use a lot of storage and see how well things restored. When I try to open Fifa on the restore, it wants to re-download the entire app, as it appears to be missing from the incomplete nandroid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
A lot of app files for games are stored on the emulated storage under /data/media/0/Android/name.of.app

I don't see any errors in the log that points to an issue happening. How big is the data file backed up as ext4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Let me check, I'll probably be about 5-10 minutes.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

The size of the ext4 /data backup is 271mb. Before wiping, /data uses up 1.8gb space. After wiping and restoring the ext4 system, data, boot, etc., /data uses up 608mb.

What is going on? The game data would not be stored on the modem, or the cache, or the recovery partition. I thought a nandroid backup would restore everything, it has in the past. I'm confused.

Is it possible that there is another issue in the most recent 2.8.7.1 build that causes TWRP to not backup everything properly, be it ext4 or f2fs? Because, something is wrong, I'm pretty sure. All of my previous nandroids, I did not have to have the apps redownload themselves, since a nandroid is like an exact save state.

Edit: so, it looks like I am able to restore fully other regular sized apps and such, but the larger app files (games) do not really restore all the way. Any idea why, and how I can fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
For the last statement, is that on f2fs? Like I said, those files are usually stored under /data/media/0/android/name.of.app (emulated storage) which TWRP doesn't wipe unless you format data (like when you change file systems).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Yes, the last sentence or two is with /data and /cache on f2fs. Well, wouldn't a nandroid backup of /data include /data/media/0/android/....? I always Format Data and Wipe all partitions before doing a clean install, just to be extra safe.

But, are you saying that if I do not "Format Data", and just format the 5 other partitions, then my TWRP backup will restore the full game data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
So, I did a standard factory reset in TWRP, and also wiped /system. Then, I restored /system (ext4) and /data and /cache (f2fs), and everything came back. So, yeah, it seems that if I do not Format Data or wipe Internal Storage, the nandroid backups fill in the rest. Is that normal behavior? If it is, then I suppose your most recent 2.8.7.1 build works nearly perfectly.

So, I think I will go ahead and try /data and /cache as f2fs, and I'm going to start setting up my phone today. I just have a few more questions:

1) Did you have any other TWRP builds you wanted me to test?

2) A few weeks ago, in using f2fs on /data for a bit, I was unable to make a nandroid backup (it would fail), and you noticed that a play services file was apparently corrupted. Is f2fs seriously bad with corruption issues, or was that just a fluke I experienced?

3) If I make an f2fs backup, and then later want to convert back to ext4 without losing my data, can I follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2-att/general/f2fs-twrp-tutorial-note-2-t2793367. Or, if I use ext4, and want to convert to f2fs without losing data, same thing?

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
1. No builds to test yet

2. F2FS is susceptible to corruption if the device is not shut down properly. It has a lazy sync cycle, so if the device is shutdown, data might not be synced and caused these issues.

3. After formatting to f2fs, make sure to check use rm -rf only in settings. The first time you format to f2fs, you will lose all emulated storage including your game saves.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSH4:
Oh, okay, thanks for the info. I think, for now, I'll just use f2fs on /cache, and keep both /data and /system on ext4. /cache can always be wiped and converted to ext4 easily, with no data loss, and I want some reliable performance.

But, thank you for the 2.8.7.1 build, I will still use that to fix my f2fs bootloop issues. Let me know if there is anything else. Thanks again.

Hello, you can send the detailed information about your issue to support@Dolphin.com. I think it might be fixed soon by their professional team..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
HI! I'm hoping that this thread is still semi-active. I'm having some issues, if this isn't the right thread/forum and you know which is let me know.

I'm running CM12, the latest nightly. I have 2.8.7.0 installed.

About a month ago I went ahead and encrypted my phone. I read the CM forums and found that this phone might have issues so I followed the procedure at the bottom of this page:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...-finish/page__hl__+encrypt +phone#entry546188

which seemed to work.

The phone is encrypted and works fine in that respect. But when I boot into recovery it doesn't ask for my pin, and /data remains encrypted.

I seem to be able to update just fine anyways, I just have to move the CM update zips to my external sd first since I cant see them where they download to in recovery.

I checked this thread to see if there was an updated recovery and found your most recent 2.8.7.1 but it's a tar, how do I install that? Also is there a newer one than the most recent listed?

I tried to update to the CM recovery but it said there wasn't room, and I was reluctant to resize that without checking with someone.

Lastly, I'd be willing to test recoveries, since Im obviously not afraid of having to reload everything.

When you go to the terminal in recovery it might be nice to say that you need to pick a folder to get to the terminal, I kept thinking that the recovery was broken and was dumping me into the file manager. If you can cd around like a normal linux command line then maybe just dump into root, or make a pref for starting working directory?

Anyways, thanks for an awesome recovery, I know the phone is getting a bit long in the tooth, but between this and CM12 i can see no reason to buy a new phone yet. And I like my pen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
I can't help you with your encryption issues - but you can flash the img.tar with Odin - As for the Note 4 getting "long in the tooth" I beg to differ - The Note 4 is an awesome device and in some ways superior to the Note 5 IMHO ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
All betterer now

I figured it out.

I went back and got the recovery from post #830 and used Odin. I was able to mount the encrypted partition, backup, even flashed the new modem and kernel (COH4.) It didn't like the new kernel, at first it would try to boot then go back to recovery, but then I re-flashed the latest nightly and all was good.

I'm not on a Note 4, it's a TMobile 2, but with the great work CM and TWRP teams are doing I'm pretty happy. I just wish google would open up Fi.
