[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
totally stupid question since I'm not a dev and I don't have much knowledge when it comes to stuff like that but isn't there a way to increase the partition size?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sailorpito:
i will test it if you want to give it a try
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
increase is possible but only if you are experienced... it has a high chance to hardbrick if you do mistakes.... hm... i will have a look at your partitions...maybe we can use another one...

Edit: nope no partition meets requirements.... i will have a look at philz soon...

meanwhile ...wich alpha was the most stable ? 11? (for twrp team...)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sailorpito:
alpha 11 is the most stable
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
yeah, alpha 11 was the most stable
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] GhouLinux:
Yes, sad but true... it is very small. :(

Repartitioning is not really an option because it would most likely cause too many hardbricked devices and makes it dangerous to get back to a stock rom in emergency.

One last question concerning this: Did you try XZ compression for the ramdisk and maybe the kernel?

(Sorry for asking if you did. I just would love to have a working twrp 2.8.7 with f2fs.)

By the way: Maybe you could ask psndna88 how he solved this for his version of twrp 2.7.0 with f2fs support.

His f2fs version PSN_TWRP-i9305-v2.7.0-F2FS.zip has a recovery.img of 6.9 MB while the size of the original 2.7.0 is 7.5 MB.

So he saved 0.6 MB by implementing f2fs. :) ;)

And once again: Thanks for the effort you put into this although you don't even own an i9305.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
XZ compression i didnt try ...LZM i use...

but the point is 2.7 is MUCH older having less stuff into it... thats why its smaller in generally... but if his zImage is ok...i will try to cherripick it rofl
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
alpha 17(?)

things to be tested:

for Beta stage:

-complete backup & restore

-flash complete rom(&gapps)

for release candidat:

-all mount options

-all wipe options

-flashing of at last 3 roms

-backup a different rom than the existing... clean everything and restore)

-terminal emulator

-file manager

after that we can send it to twrp

ah before i forgett... testings have be done all by minimum 3 people

my thanks are limited to 8 per day (rofl)

but i must say realy realy THANK YOU to all testers! especially to salorpit! thx guys

alright :) if there are any mount issues i may have to edit fstab... but that is simple stuff

thanks to both of you for your input, hard work and testing. I'm sorry I couldn't do much today but tonight and tomorrow I have some time and help as much as I can.

AICP released their first stable build for dozens of devices including ours and judging by the changelog f2fs is supported, not sure if our phone does as well.

agni works but the smdk one

edit: I have to be more specific. The smdk one worked with all the nightlies for AICP 9.0,not sure if it still does with AICP 10.0. They just uploaded the ROM two or three huours ago
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
according to the device tree no....

who is the aicp maintaneer? may we can do some commits (easy changes for /data /cache )
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
what a bummer. I assume the sammy based AGNi won't work either then.

maintainer? [MENTION=3788878]thermskin[/MENTION] did all the ROM cooking for earlier builds, we could ask [MENTION=3860593]semdoc[/MENTION] for help

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
if you are on stock right now... reboot to recovery... change /data and /cache to f2fs and reboot (while flashing it automatically does ext4) so do the change AFTER flashing rom + kernel

Why /system can't be f2fs?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
system f2fs is only able on a ALL F2FS ROM because its like that....

- you format /system to f2fs

- you flash rom (updater script will reformat to ext4)

so you are back on ext4...

I made a buid of RR with the modified fstab file, flashed alpha 17 recovery and rom+kernel. But in twrp in advanced I cannot find the settings to change filesystem of /cache and /data to f2fs.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
i pmed you ^^ reboot to recovery and change cache and data like i said :)

Try DiskInfo app on play store you won't have to check in terminal ;) And good job btw, was questionning: what if i changed the Fstab but for /system partition too, would the rom be able to support F2FS formatting for /system too?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] rodman01:
The app is cool thanks...according to systems I don't know. Think SdtBarbarossa is better known and experienced to answer the question.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
yes but i dont know the correct flags for your device....

also the kernel must support it (the one that boots the rom must be able to find system f2fs )

also your updater script have to be modified (if you use standard then it will always format and mount system to ext4 while flashing)

Edit: correcting this...was a misstype ...standard updater script does system to ext4 so you have to modify it to go with f2fs
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
wow, impressed with the progress so far. Just got home and was reading through the last two pages. Did I get that right - data and cache can be formatted to f2fs with Alpha 17 and the updated ROM supports it? Do you guys need logs etc for further improvements? I'm willing to test
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] rodman01:
don't forget to flash agni kernel on top of the rom, because inbuild kernel doesn't support f2fs.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] SdtBarbarossa:
download alpha 17 ...flash it with rahsr or flashify or in twrp itself (DONT USE ODIN)

then you will need agni kernel + the rom avove

... install rom...install kernel... and format data and cache to f2fs .... then reboot... and please confirm us if its working :)

Edit: btw logs dont help in this case...its deeper... but you could simply test stability with f2fs :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :

Hello, just a quick question: does your recovery support mounting /system in f2fs? And if it does, if i do the same changes for /system in fstab than for /data and /cache, will the support of it will be ok ? (at least in rom side )
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sailorpito:
Yes it formats and mounts /system successfully, the rom needs to support it though
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] aaz03:
Seems to be done in my source, about updater-script i think that i'll simply remove the /system formating (easy way), that way you'll be able to format and change /system whenever you want (if you mind doing it by yourself before each flashing)

are you sure you have correct flags for system?

may that flags from my xperia T may help you...

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] chongc1996:
I prefer philz because twrp seems to be updated less frequently, i heard the 2.7 version has backup problems too? the interface on twrp is slightly more user friendly, but am used to philz already since it's usually the most updated one. Seems like philz has problems dealing with f2fs on our device so we haven't seen an update for a while though. Hopefully it will be resolved soon and we can have f2fs supported!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
the main reason for me to use philz is that its indeed regularly updated more then the others and its compatible with the latest roms around, as because of the new permissions policy in newer roms it cant be recognized by the older recoverys as these roms getting updated more often then the recovery itself, so people getting status error 7 or 0 sometimes. id rather avoid that and spare myself the headache and the time im gonna loose trying to update it. has a nice option for gui preferences also :D working nice and smooth never had any issues, problems with any custom or stock rom! ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djb77:
I've been a TWRP user for ages now (v2.6.3.0 coz of the 2.7 issues) and it is definitely my favourite recovery. Saying that though, Philz is still amazing. If Philz had a more of a GUI look like TWRP I'd swap over in a second.
