I dont now if its a know issue.....

After 3 reboots and a cache cleaning it finally remembers the settings.

And I must say its sounds great.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] riso123:
Is the a reason for moving from voodoo sound? I prefer it :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
Hi. Could you please add an option to directly boot into 1st or 2nd ROM or is there any way to boot into 1st or 2nd ROM without booting first into recovery and select the corresponding option?

Are there any profiles for the governors like zzmove? If so I am blind and sorry for that...

Thank you! :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Most users seem to prefer boeffla sound.

I am sorry, I don't know a way to let you choose it without booting to recovery. I think gokhanmoral had added something like this, but he didn't release the source code.

There are no governor profiles.

Maybe these are two different ways to get/make dual boot but the STweaks app has an option for doing that...Maybe that works aswel :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
You can also set the rom to boot by using Deviltools.

Mhmm... So now I've catched up to the train, too. Was to curious. Just formatted /system, /cache and /data to f2fs, restored my rom (temasek cm11 v42), restored my internal sdcard and flashed Devil 2.4.8e. Running on full f2fs now without any problems and it's at least as smooth as it was before. Let's observe...

Cheers, Olioaglio
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] francescozanghetta:
Sorry I just got confused... too many releases in a relly short time. Anyway refrasing:

Trying version e. Everything works well but I felt c much smoother. Maybe placebo effect!!;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
The difference is not only in updater-script. This is *dirty* way of making rom working with f2fs. You should replace mount /system command by mount -t auto /system (with block), and then delete_recursive("/system").
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xeizo:
Haven't got around to explore f2fs yet :p But 2.4.8e works fine with ext4 on my internal SmartDroid AOSP-build! :) Video, Camera, everything works, can't say it's any smoother though as it already was ultra smooth .... gives me 827MB RAM ...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Madness.:
i know but its a temporary solution for roms like temasek rom.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DualJoe:
Now i'm completely confused...

Hasn't DerTeufel1980 experimented with a different updater binary or something that could handle 'rom updates' automatically so we don't need to act/patch the rom?

Just to make sure... once on f2fs we have to take care ourselves that the filesystem remains active (Temasek rom in this case)? There's nothing patched or replaced in scripts when we install/update roms. In case of any 'format' command we have to replace it in the scripts. The mounting is done in kernel so we don't have to care.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
Replacing/ignoring update-binary actions would be the worse possible idea ever. If ROM developer doesn't want to implement F2FS-friendly method of flashing, then find a ROM which wants to do so.

Or we'll end with a bunch of hacks and workarounds, which will bring other problems.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
To sum up in a nutshell here is what i will do:

install devil recovery and reboot recovery

install devil kernel 2.4.8e and reboot recovery

nandroid backup

then format /system and /data and /cache to f2fs

then fresh install the ROM and Gapps and install kernel 2.4.8e again

wipe caches

reboot!

please verify that everything is correct...

please

sorry for being a sore thumb

Well done Dominik

:cowboy:

ohh forgot to say, the ROM's dev did not mention anything about the f2fs friendly thing, will this matter?

i am using Mokee OS (modded CM11, like temasek's)

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Recovery rebooted suddenly during formatting the "/data, /sdcard and /.secondrom" to f2fs

exactly after formatting the /data to f2fs it wrote the Done and rebooted recovery

but the ROM booted

will check now.. performance..

also can anybody tell me how to check if i am on f2fs or ext4?

thank you!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] _Beni_:
Run adb shell or terminal emulator and enter mount look at /data , /system and /cache in each line you will see ext4 or f2fs, /system sometimes is ext4 when installIng another rom
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
thanks,

also if i dirty flashed the ROM to update, will that change anything back to ext4?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] _Beni_:
possible, you need to enter mount or download partition table from play store

btw: i mean for the normal user to implement a easy switch from ext4 to f2fs, not for us freaks :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
mount | grep system
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DualJoe:
It's ok. I just wanted to know the actual state.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
I formatted /system and /cache and the (/data, /sdcard and /.secondrom) to f2fs and installed the ROM.

Here is what i got when i typed mount in terminal

Does this means i am on f2fs? I guess yes with the 23k in antutu

Thank you dominik
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
System is ext4, you flashed a rom which doesn't have f2fs-friendly flashing support.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mhb92:
as i can see ur system is ext4 formated.. though the other has been formated successfully to f2fs...

also i see that sdcard1 is vfat formated and i recommend u to format it on ext4..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay Archidroid here i come

So i will download AD and put on external and then format the partitions to f2fs and then flash Archidroid 2.3.5 and select stock kernel so i can flash the 2.4.8e kernel, then reboot and voila!

Please verify,.,.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
It will work, as ArchiDroid uses f2fs-friendly type of flashing, which won't reformat your /system to ext4.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
What about the kernel selection in aroma? Should i select devil 2.4.7 or the stock kernel so I can flash the 2.4.8e manually, or it will not matter?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
It doesn't matter. Devil kernel selection is required in order to use ArchiDroid Partition Wizard and reformatting to f2fs, but that's not yet implemented, which means it doesn't matter now and won't matter in future, unless you'll want to reformat to f2fs right from AD installer.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mhb92:
i suggest u to select devil kernel and not stock... cause for me it gives me the possibility to format preloader to f2fs too.. if u choose stock i think u wont be able to.. and select everything reformat to f2fs... it may reboot if it will format cache..

then u can let it boot do ur settings and then go back to recovery and install newest kernel from derteufel.

i think thats the best way to do it :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
If you're using newest experimental AD and you actually want to reformat your partition from ArchiDroid installer, then it matters. ArchiDroid won't reformat any of the partitions by default (this is Current choice in partition wizard), unless you select EXT4/F2FS.

For F2FS-friendly method of flashing - nothing is required.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay I will choose stock kernel then i will flash the 2.4.8e kernel.

So here is what i am going to do

--format the /system, /cache and the (/data,/sdcard and /.secondrom) to f2fs

--install Archidroid 2.3.5 STABLE

--choose the option to flash stock kernel from AROMA and do my settings

--flash the 2.4.8e kernel after finishing AROMA

--reboot!

Isn't that the correct steps?

Thank you for direct support
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay i will do this tomorrow, my battery is 6% now

Btw i am getting better performance and better battery life although the /system is not f2fs formatted and i am not using ART. So well done dominik!

Thx [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] for the f2fs friendly ROM and for amazing support!

Guys, am I the only one having youtube playback issues? Ever since I started using the new kernel and file system, I get to watch 1-2 youtube clips, and after that, when I try to play another, I get an error. After a reboot all is well, but after 1-2 more clips I get the error again. Any ideas on the solution or the cause? Using latest devil kernel and temasek's V43. No issues before that on same rom and devil's 2.3.2.

A while ago on my old device, the nexus s I had similar problems. It was the kernel dev, trying to squeeze more user ram, taking it from the reserved multimedia system ram, and in the process braking video playback and camera for some users (not all). If such is the case, can someone please tell me, so I know what to do? Thanks. Great job on the kernel [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] I really enjoy your work. Keep it up!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] torsrex:
Using the latest 2.4.8 e Kernel, Spotify acts up when syncing playlists offline (which stores files on the external SD card, in my case formatted to exfs), multiple reboots and reinstalling Spotify didn't help. Flashing back to 2.4.7 resolved the issue. I'm not sure if it's Kernel related, although I'm guessing it is since flashing kernels fixed the issues, but I thought I'd report the problem. I'm running f2fs on system, data and cache.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ferdimage:
Im trying to format /data to f2fs on devils recovery but it doesnt give me an option to.

Is that supposed to be like that?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MrxSiN:
so this means, f2fs doesnt work on Omni rom as the rom always reformat the system partition when updating. I guess it reformat back to ext4, right?

Updated : Gonna try AD with Devil now
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
What do you mean by acting up?

make sure to be on primary when formatting

It works. Just not on system (but data is more important). You also can nandroid, reformat and restore system everytime

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Dont try to format data, you need to use the option that formats /data, /sdcard and secondrom at the same time(the last one before usb mount in mounts&storage).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] torsrex:
Acting up as in it downloads the 7 first percent or so, then feezes and the whole application crashes. From this point the phone gets hotter and hotter. Then if I try to remove the files it downloaded from my sdcard using the stock file manager it gets stuck on deleting (I let it stay there for at least an hour), meaning that I had to take it out of the phone to remove them.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
also is it normal that the recovery reboots suddenly when formatting the (/data, /sdcard and /.secondrom) to f2fs?

well i completed and /data was successfully formatted to f2fs. Only the /system was not formatted to ext4 as the ROM was not f2fs friendly.

So i will try it with Archidroid 2.3.5 stable and tell you after 6 hours...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
And your external card is exfat formatted? Because you wrote exfs...

Got stuck...

after installing the devil recovery and tried creating second partition..

it said it is done and said to enjoy dual rom.

then rebooted in first rom and went back to recovery.

MY PROBLEM is I was NOT able to see three menus under dual boot option instead had the same create second partition...

what is the proble with my steps? pls do help
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xeizo:

On track but need some more help

Hi everybody,

I am back in track and about to install the second ROM to complete the task...

prevously I had issues because i was trying with the OLD version link in help/instruction thread...

Now I am on track after installing the recent/latest DEVIL's recovery and "e" version kernel....

I got all the options and working great.

Before formatting to f2fs I have a doubt... Is it possible to install primary rom in f2fs format and the secondary rom in ext4 format? if so how should I format or what folders should i format?

moreover THANK you ARCHIDROID for ur indirect support and help rendered.....

Ur 4.3 v rom is my current primary rom and I just love it. My s3 just zippppppps around in ultra ultra ultra fast mode.. wowowowo

I request all of you to install latest archidroid supported f2fs ROM... still to experience the f2fs speed

waiting for the reply
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay just a question, how much does it take for the first boot on Archidroid? i left it for 3 minutes and still did not boot, still on the bootanimation!

EDIT: i flashed archidroid again and selected devil kernel then flashed the 2.4.8e and everything is working like hell!

i guess i am now having full f2fs experience :D

thank you Justarchi
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
Depends. Up to 5 minutes maximum I'd say.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mhb92:
finally mate well done :) if u want to be sure that everything is f2fs just go to terminal and type mount :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
yes and i got everything f2fs except the /efs partition but the /system, /cache /data formatted as f2fs

using archidroid 2.3.5

the phone is literally flying!!!!

23k on antutu

that is awesome!!!! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
And its also good that you cant format /efs to f2fs :P You could say good bye to your telephone function, unless you have a backup :P

Tried, tried and now TIRED !!! Need ur support

Hi,

steps I did

1. I installed the latest recovery by Devil

2. installed e version kernel by devil

3. wipe data and factory reset...

4. select mounts and storage > format system/cache/data/data and secondrom to f2fs version

5. wipe data for new rom install

6. selected install zip (blue menu shows installing in primary partition)

7. viola got installed new rom in primary partition

8. flashed devil kernel and reboot in to primary rom...

NOW the problem arises when I tried to install secondary rom...

I did...

1. recovery > dual boot menu > second fs (note create second partition to be done as early even before primary rom installation)

2. recovery colour changes to RED

3. followed the installation methods and reflashed devils kernel too in red menu...

4. NOW if I boot into the secondary rom (selecting the 2nd menu).... then it DOESN'T boot into second ROM insted stuck at boot animation...

I think the problem is in mounting the correct folder for secondary rom .... need help to rectify my issue.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -MaD-:
1. did you also wiped before installing 2nd rom?

2. I think you will lose your f2fs format by only installing a rom (except its an Archidroid rom)- you have to use a nandroidbackup and restore it.

For me this worked on 1st and 2nd rom. now very happy with 2 fast roms!

I haven't tried f2fs yet :P will try today.

I've never had any problems with wifi with this kernel. Currently running Omnirom with 2.4.8c with f2fs on all three.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kemby13:
I'm on sammy-based ArchiDroid 1.7.9, that's probbably the reason... Anyway, i'm back on ext4 and boeffla for now, wifi is just too important...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ferdimage:
how do I confirm that the f2fs partitions are intact as f2fs after a rom installation?

I heard some roms reformat to ext4.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Olioaglio:
You can either use a free app like partition table from playstore and check mmcblk0p8, 0p9 and 0p11 for correct filesystem (the comfortable way) or use terminal emulator and type mount.

and another question...there is a way to "import" in deviltools zzmove optimal or battery yanks (these are the best zzmove profiles)??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mhb92:
can u make tar file from recovery ??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xeizo:
Yes, you're right, you have to boot once with stock kernel to setup WiFi if you use Sammy-based rom. That turns into a catch 22 regarding f2fs so either stay at ext4 or use a AOSP rom!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shaarky:
Do you have problems with YouTube video (no image just audio ) with latest Episode version?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
really are you sure with that. I never use stock kernel, and I never encountered any problems with wifi on archidroid 1.7.X or any other sammy 4.3 rom.

no, youtube runs fine with 2.4.7, 2.4.8c and 2.4.8e (the ones I had tested)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Is your ROM f2fs friendly?

i would like to try it as 2nd ROM with Archidroid Lol :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xeizo:
On second rom you can only use cache as f2fs anyway, a limitation in devils creation, but it works ok I can say as that is what I do!

Regarding Sammy-roms, I've never been able to activate WiFi with anything than stock kernel on any Sammy-rom using my router with WPA2, someone may have, but I've seen several others having the same troubles as me. :eek:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
no on secondrom /data is formated as f2fs as well, but system can't. but data is the important one (at least mount in terminal shows for me /data and /data/media as f2fs on secondrom)

have you ever installed with odin a stock 4.3 rom. maybe a bootloader update brought this limitation (I never flashed a 4.3 rom through odin). buti am not sure and don't know if the bootloader was even updated :confused:

Wifi works always for me when I flash custom kernel after flashing rom...but the camera needs stock kernel to work...

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9300 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
you do know secondrom is mounted as /data/media/.secondrom right? so if your 1st /data partition is formatted as F2FS im pretty sure the second will also carry the filesystem(not 100%) but its logic as its mounted inside the /data partition
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LeJolly:
So... Quick question: Can I do that F2FS without making a backup? I have a rom in my external sd card, so can I just do the procedure and in the restore part, instead of restoring, just flash a new ROM?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Olioaglio:
Most likely the new ROM will reformat your /system partition to ext4 at installation process. This is why a nandroid restore is needed, because it just copies data back without reformat. But ArchiDroid or any other f2fs friendly rom can skip reformat to ext4. That's why the rom chefs should include this too, if they want to support f2fs.

Olioaglio
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LeJolly:
So CM11 will most likely reformat? Arrgh
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Olioaglio:
Thats how i understand the current situation. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LeJolly:
:( Well thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
from the note 2 thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49952738&postcount=7478 ;) so system of secondrom is ext4

(somewhere here it was mentionned also but I couldn't find it)

after the rom flash you could simply backup /system only, reformat system to f2fs and restore /system
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Olioaglio:
This will work!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
hmm, im not sure but it looks to me like he partions the internal sdcard :/
