Switching from Verizon is not really an option for me im still on grandfathered unlimited.

Verizon's LTE coverage and customer support have exceeded my expectations. I couldn't tell you the last time my phone couldn't pick up LTE.

Like you I haven't found a Verizon device worthy of me dropping a substantial amount of dough on. Not the case now though.. My prayers have been answered another nexus device on Verizon OMG.

Has anyone seen any pigs flying around lately?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David 617:
I switched to the HTC One (M8) a while back when VZW had a buy-one-get-one promotion. I kept unlimited data and ended up making $300 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Good deal!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
Oh man, I flashed the pre-final version yesterday and it's rocking so much, just had a little freeze for some seconds and a loop reboot, but no more random reboots and it's awesome because I own a gnex C8 (they're really bad with random reboots). So I'm loving this kernel so much now, if you will fix even the loop reboots on final version it will be totally awesome. Thank you [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] for all the effort put on this phone and this kernel.

Latest Vanir with latest Smitty with Neph's settings and F2FS (all partitions): my phone flies. Thanks!.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
I guess I'm alone here. I can't get pre Smitty past the Google logo. Constant GLBL with no recourse. It just won't boot. Tried different roms, clean and dirty flashes. Redownloaded just to be sure.

On the up side, test build is running great. No micro lags, just sheer awesomeness.

Sorry for the OT, but if I remove just the FB app WITHOUT the messanger app, how much would I benefit from it because I really like being always available for chat...? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMan0790:
Trying out Tinfoil now. Thanks for suggesting it in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wisefreakz:
Guys... i'm finally jumpingo to the F2FS awesomeness. Just flashed the TWRP 2.8.0.0 from Smutty and i simply can't find option for F2FS formatting.. any kind soul to help me?

Edit: Just Found it! Should i format all to F2FS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Punkiderma:
You choose.

For example,I have only data and cache on f2fs,so I don't have to modify updater_script every time I flash a rom.

Also, f2fs takes a little space on the partition (is this called overhead or something like that right?),and using it on system could cause the impossibility to install some bigger Google apps packs because you don't have enough space. Finally , from what I've understood, data and cache are more subject to read/writes than system, so f2fs should do good even if you keep system to ext4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wisefreakz:
Thanks bro... it ended up all well!

I decided myself to format system as well... so i can see how will it behave on my side as i don't tend to do much with the phone.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aditya.jazzmaster:
Hi, [MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION]

I want to ask you about same topic.

If I just convert only cache & data to F2FS, Do I need convert my ROM to f2fs using poo's tools?

And what is the difference whether I convert system to f2fs or not?

And also how about fstrim does it work on F2FS?

I still on EXT4 for now, cause I read about fstrim case.

Thanks & Sorry for OOT. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
If you use Tinfoil for FB then you don't need the messenger app because Tinfoil is basically the mobile FB page in it's own wrapper, which means messenger is still part of FB when using it. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
No if you run f2fs on data and cache only as long as you flash a compatible kernel after , no conversion required.

Formatting system to f2fs is still debatable for usefulness , try if you want and make your own judgments about it .

Fstrim is not supported by f2fs , but it has native garbage collection (GC) so its not necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veldom:
Just to report :

This morning, after about a week af use, I got a bootloop on my scheduled reboot with Tasker, and the alarm didn't sound.

So, very sadly, I have to give up using the scheduled reboot (which keeps the phone fresh with no efforts)

Or I have to give up using this wonderful kernel.

Anyway, great performances in daily use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aditya.jazzmaster:
Thanks bsmitty83

So how to clean garbage collection?

If it can be cleaned I will try convert system to F2FS.

Thanks again. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
I know, but i don't get notifications with it when I have a new message and that's the only part I like about the messenger app and why I would want to keep using it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Feel free to continue using it, just know that you may still find battery drain and lag if you choose to. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Punkiderma:
Just pay attention to some roms (slimrom for example) also have a line inside updater_script to mount data as ext4,so if you're using one of these you should change at least that line ;)

I don't know why,surely [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] could explain why some decide to force mount data :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Hi. Just wanted to ask this: I'm having a fight with Synapse. I don't understand why it's always resetting my settings (profile). From time to time I have to open it and reapply the profile...

Why Synapse is always "discarding" the settings? Because of a reset? a malfunction?. It's a bit frustrating always trying to keep the profile applied.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faboz84:
[MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] ...with the F2FS native garbage collection (GC) do you reccommend the kernel /discard option ?

the scenario is /system in EXT4 and /data, /cache in F2FS

i did a similar question [MENTION=4615478]boype[/MENTION] in the [MENTION=3927368]poo706[/MENTION] conversion tool thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aditya.jazzmaster:
[MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION]

But how about Paranoid Android (PA), Is there any script like you said?

I Use PA before and now I using Unofficial LS, I want to try latest PA beta.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Here's how to check for /data being mounted during ROM installation: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55766193&postcount=341

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Yes this is what I set for f2fs in the fstab

nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,background_gc=on,discard,inline_xattr,inline_data,flush_merge,nobarrier,active_logs=2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I use MB Notifications and set the interval to 2h and have it open Tinfoil. My phone sleeps like a baby. :)

I think they do it unnecessarily for some kind of persist functionality.

If you open it at boot before it says "Synapse boot completed" then that'll happen. Or if you change something and then reboot within 2 minutes it deems the settings unstable and reverts back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faboz84:
according to the latest commits and f2fs documentation the discard option seems to be the cause of huge lags which users are experiencing moving big files or big i/o operations.

this should be true if we are in a full unix f2fs scenario... but i don't know with ext4+f2fs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I'm sure most of that applies to PC's running f2fs . I'm not sure what is considered a big file but I'd say 99% of Linux development is for desktops , not phones , which are by nature tiny compared to PC's. Moving a file that is as large as all of your storage on your nexus would still be a "small" file on a PC.

But I guess you could test it out , just remove the discard option and see if it speeds things up [emoji4]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
How long has the gc=on been active with the kernel?

Has it been there since your first f2fs build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Yes GC on is default so the fstab line is redundant
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Thanks I kind of figured it has always been there.

The phone never slows down like it did before we had fstrim.

This goes out to anyone still running ext4.

Please do yourself a favor and convert your FS to f2fs already.

1. Smitty put huge amounts of his free time into getting it working for us.

We are very lucky to have the FS and Smitty for our expired tunas.

2. The results are amazing you will instantly be able to see the difference. The results are

very noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
It's funny you posted this... I just converted last night. Thanks to Team Smut for all the good work. [emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I think we shouldn't forgot about our friend [MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION] , he pushed me to keep on it . also [MENTION=2765426]styr[/MENTION] got the first working recovery out , I was stuck until those two helped out .

And really I worked on it for a couple months straight because I'm an amateur , any real developer would have had f2fs up ALOT quicker lol .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frickinjerms:
I've been using a hybrid ext4/f2fs setup to where my system partition is still ext4 since its usually read only and makes flashing ROMs easier then having to constantly convert zips for every update and cache and data are f2fs since they are always read/write and it's been great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Thanks again to everyone involved [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] [MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION] [MENTION=2765426]styr[/MENTION]

[MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION]

You're a commit finding god. Thanks for all you do man!

[MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION]

Thanks again buddy!

Although you consider yourself an amateur your the only tuna dev that stepped up.

You guys have helped me more than you can imagine.

I've held out long enough for the nexus to come back to Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriousia:
I was going to buy new phone bcz of those slow downs on ext4 but when I heard smitty is working on f2fs, I thought of waiting some more time n give tuna a last chance and really it was worth waiting.

Finally I can use my device without worrying about slow downs.

Thanks alot [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] :p:):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
All that glitters is not gold. I've been using F2FS in my GNex for a while, and I can tell you that some processes are not as fast as expected. I even experiment some random and incomprehensible locks. Sometimes just by installing a new app, it takes ages to finish. It's weird, but it's working ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] All-Star:
It is really funny, how fast the prefinal was, when I`ve installed it.

Some days of using and downloading some new apps, its lagging and freezing for some seconds again.

I really love my GNex and all the nice developers on XDA, for the whole time, they're working for our and for therselves devices, but I think my device have to be replaced in the next time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Is anybody here using any 4.3 Jelly Bean ROM with DirtyV/Fancy/Franco kernel? I'm really thinking about back to 4.3 JB...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infectedorganism:
Not 4.3, but I'm running stock 4.2.2 (mmuzzy vanilla rom) with Fancy kernel. I have seen quite a few posts with users still on 4.3 though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
And what do you think? Is this faster than KitKat ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infectedorganism:
I was never on Kitkat long enough to give a good opinion on that. Here is a small thread to skim through in the meantime until others are better able to respond to your question.

Sh*t, it seems that converted to f2fs Purity doesn't work... It stucks at Google logo with SmiityV-test and Fancy kernel r57, and with Franco (4.3 version) it stucks at bootanimation... Unfortunaely i don't have enough time to test other 4.3 roms :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
guys, I'm still searching for nice init.d scripts for smoothness and battery life (I don't play any games that are super heavy, just the ones like don't touch the white tiles, I usually close the apps to avoid multitasking)

I don't really know if they are all kernel compatible, I found some in the fanky kernel thread but I don't want to use them with dirtyv without being aware of their compatibility.

also, any recomendation on the performance settings to extend my battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saint787:
Fast Charge

Is fast charge working? It doesn't sleep during charging (Force fast change enabled). It is supposed to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Fast charge works just fine. You will never know it's working unless you have it plugged into a PC.

Fast charge has been redesigned to allow the phone to charge at normal speed without losing the ability to transfer data.

The phone is NOT supposed to sleep while charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Im on 4.3 vanir (its the only 4.3 rom without ram leak). Only difference I see between it and 4.4 vanir is no immersive mode. Just as fast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
[MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] Is this possible that 4.3 ROMs don't work with f2fs? I tried to boot converted Purity and PureSpeedX, both ROMs don't boot. I tried it with Fancy/Franco/SmittyV-test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Only (definitely) works on CM-based because the AOSP ramdisk init binary is f*cking garbage. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
100 points for Gryffindor! :D Thanks, I have to find a nice ROM based on CM then :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Could you just replace aosp init with cm's then ? Or would it not boot ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Here can be a solution http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55832365&postcount=7106
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
So the problem was that the kernel included with the ROM was installed prior to you overwriting it with Fancy/Franco/Smitty? Weird.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Tried it in the Fancy thread when I was experimenting, but it ended up causing more problems than it solved across all the possible setups. Pretty ugly way to do it too.

You could always flash the CM kernel over Stock/AOSP ROM, then flash our AnyKernel2 over top, that way you'll have a good underlying ramdisk init binary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliesz:
Is OmniROM like cm based roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
I tried to install again with changed updater-script from link I shared and it doesn't work for me... Maybe i'm doing something wrong but yesterday I tried to boot Purity with Franco r398 4.3 version that is boot.img format so it has ramdisk, right? And it didn't work too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
No. Omni is a different base.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
Whenever I convert f2fs only for cache and data on shiny rom, it will boot-loop.

I changed the partition of cache and data to f2fs and then sideloaded shiny and dirty kernel,

after my phone was dead for over a month being welcomed like this is a pain in the a**

Any idea why it happens ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Check shinys updater-script , if it explicitly mounts data ext4 , that could be it .

Or while in recovery , through adb , run "cat proc/mounts " to see if your partitions are in fact f2fs .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
I did check through adb ,yet data was still clean .

forgot that the rom's data mount was ext4

thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
what I did to convert 4.3 ROMs is

Whatever 4.3 ROM it is, use the last 4.3 vanir's boot.img to convert it to f2fs.

Then flash ur favourite kernel on top of it as usual.....

BTW 4.3 is way way way better than kitkat on Gnex....

IMHO the feel u get while drawing the notification bar without frame drop is "holy balls"

Been using 4.3 for a while now and just jumped again to 4.4 to see if it has improved....a big "no"

Its so obvious that kitkat and art on gnex is a bad joke until the so called "ducatti" graphical drivers are out...

The devs in the GNEX thread are freaking genius to keep this old guy up and running strongly....finally a big thanks to all devs here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Thank you! So you put boot.img from Vanir to folder with f2fs converter tool, right? And when You run converter and when it asks you for AnyKernel2 installation, you press "y" or "no"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
You want to put yes there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
Yes, put the boot.img....I m still using the very first release of poo's converter in which there are no questions or any kernel options....so "no" I guess...after conversion I flash the ROM then f2fs enabled anykernel2 kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Ah, ok, I think with the new version of tool before converting I have to put vanir boot.img into ROM .zip file and the roon converter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
You would delete the included boot.img from the converter folder and replace it with the boot.img from Vanir. But you would want to say "no" to AnyKernel, otherwise the converter won't replace the boot.img in the ROM zip.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Yea, I just realized that :) Or replace boot.img in the Rom .zip and press "yes" in the converter tool :) I will try it in the weekend I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Correct.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Yes that's correct.

Sorry if I gave you the wrong info earlier.

Yes, I'm using your latest unofficial 10/4 build. The last time I had this issue I flashed an older Dirty_V build to get it working again. Do you think it's rom related?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
I believe it's probably the same issue as the last time we were all talking about wifi tethering problems, hostapd is not getting replaced by dvbootscript.sh in my ROM for some reason. I went through the code that's executed when installing dirtyv, but there's so much going on there that I can't even begin to wrap my head around it. I think I'm going to include dirtyv's hostapd with my next release and see what happens. I expect that it'll fix tethering issues with dirtyv, but I don't know if it'll adversely affect tethering on other kernels.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:

[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] showed me a few pages back how easy it is to fix wifi tethering manually so that Liquidsmooth and DirtyV play nice ....

1) Nandroid -- just in case

2) Using root explorer or something similar, copy the "hostapd" file found in /sbin and paste it in the /system/bin folder, replacing the file that is already there

3) Tether

Good luck!

Ahh I'd forgotten you were bundling Fancy. That makes sense why there were issues with the bootscript running like it should.. Probably things were stacking weirdly through AnyKernel2 flashing.

Glad you found a solution that works for everyone, even if it is just reverting to the default LS kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
As I understand it, people on my unofficial LS had to switch the built-in busybox to Stericson's in order for Synapse to cooperate. I'd like to use some other ROM's built-in busybox so that this extra step isn't necessary. Could some Synapse users chime in with ROMs that work right out of the box?

I'm assuming [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] have seen this, but in case not here's the latest from [MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
No , its kernel related , I'm trying to solve this issue , I personally don't experience these freezes , but I have and know what you are describing, [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] gets them (and let's me know about it lol [emoji6] ) so your not alone . hell its been the most frequent complaint for a while . I was hoping to find the cause , I'm still looking , but The biggest issue is the fact that it needs a rebase bad . but really I need to start over . clean up a lot of things that don't belong or were a wip that never developed . things from the omapzoom branches that I started bringing over , that work , but not as well as the original tuna code .

So I'm going to try to clean up a little , get rid of the freezes , and make it better . this is still my daily driven kernel so I'm not done with it yet .

I'll try to get the updated ddk integrated , [MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION] is in the zone on that .

But Its a mess for me because I started updating the old code like 6 months ago and never got the new ddk to work so I left it as is . most of all that needs reverting so I can cherry-pick commits clean .

I think my zram work is good , I did a lot to get it where it is . I think with zswap on there's still issues , but its not the freezing issue . thats good . the freezing could be memory management ,related as most of my commits are in that area .

I wish I had more time to work on this , but being a father of 2 makes it tough . on the plus , I can type while holding a baby [emoji6]

I got some work to do , but I think the final product will be good .
