Carbon Rom 5/3/2014 All-F2FS

C-Rom v6.3 All-F2FS

you dont need to flash any kernel for them to boot

but you should flash a kernel of your choosing
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chaostrodamis:
Thanks plenty. Going to flash this on my way to work. oh and would you mind doing the new Cyanogen M6 that dropped today. im probably not the only one that would appreciate it. Cant wait to get this right for myself so i can assist you in all these converts you been helping others with.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
Actually I was using a pre-rooted flashable stock that claims to already have Busybox installed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533035

Just couldn't seem to make it work....

I got it working with F2FS by using Lego, but not with All-F2FS and this script.

Not sure what's the missing step. Factory reset, flashed format partitions, tried different order of flashing for other bits. Just couldn't get past the boot logo. Adb logcat showed that something kept crashing over and over. Didn't capture it, which I'm sure would have been helpful.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] USBhost:
If you want I can take a crack at it

And try to make it All-F2FS

Would be nice.

I would take a crack at it, but I'm too busy with work these days.

A stock odex rom all-F2FS would be great!!

For sure in stock odex rom system partition is too big for all-F2FS, but I suggest to remove all the apps that can be downloaded from play store (music,maps,books...)

[Nexus 7 Android Development] asilentcivilian:
so i followed these directions to the T with bzshiznit's Stock 4.4.2 ROM but i always get the "No OS installed" message when i'm about to reboot. always hangs at the google splash. i don't understand lol.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
I had some issues with that ROM as well.

First, make sure the ZIP that is produced is valid. The first time I ran it, the zip was invalid and wouldn't open with 7zip. Therefore it failed to flash and I didn't notice, and got the "NO OS" error.

Second, and this is theory, if you're using the ODEX version (maybe the non-odex?) the stock Rom is just a little bit too large to fit in the partition once modified. I haven't tested this theory yet. But you might be able to get things working by reducing the size which can be done by using the non-Odex version and removing some of the preloaded APK's that can be installed from the market.

I haven't tested that possible fix yet because I haven't had time.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] USBhost:

Should I stop posting All-F2FS Roms

Because of the app that does it for you?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
Kindof don't want to try that app myself as it appears to come with no directions, and there's no support thread or webpage linked.

It says you have to manually do the preop (links to the recovery page) but doesn't make clear anything else about the procedure. Does it produce a flashable zip? Does it do something on the fly? Does it wipe? What steps from the page do you have to do manually and which does it do?

Makes me really suspicious when a paid app comes with that much missing information, just how complete (and reliable) the app itself might be.

I'd rather a good tool that is clear and easy to understand, which retains user control over the process, or is clear about which steps it handles up front.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asilentcivilian:
well I bought the app even after following the instructions for manually converting. then again, I only manually converted bzshiznit's 4.4.2 ROM. still failed. I haven't tried converting any other yet
[Nexus 7 Android Development] USBhost:
When I tryed to make that ROM All-F2FS I did it with the non-odex version

And I did not boot

And I did try to remove apps I did not need
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
If I have time in a few weeks, I might try looking at the logs and seeing if I can figure this out. I'm not sure why F2FS would work, but All-F2FS wouldn't. I'm currently using data only F2FS.

Hi,

Does anyone know while using an all-F2FS Rom - should I need to worry about TRIM/FSTRIM ? :confused:

When I check "mount" comand [MENTION=904348]shell[/MENTION], I have the "discard" check on every f2fs "partition", i.e:

/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system f2fs ro,seclabel,relatime,background_gc=off,[B][U]discard[/U][/B],user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,errors=recover,active_logs=6 0 0

I'm using kitkat 4.4.2

I've check [MENTION=904348]shell[/MENTION] the following, I didn't get any output. (My N7 was 1 day+ on battery.)

logcat -d | grep -i fstrim

I Hope someone can shine a light on that. ;)

rather, I asked if anyone install an "ALL-F2FS" ( or at minimum system-F2FS ), Should he worries about the famous FSTRIM problem ?

What is the answer for that, giving that you IGNORE for a sec, the version of the android ?

Does the F2FS file system, needs to be TRIMed ?:confused:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] brizey:
Probably because they were the same name in Windows... it's not case sensitive like all Unix based OS's. That's one reason we use zip files for everything. That and permissions. I'm finding this thing does not always work. I may try to do a script for cygwin or something (if I ever get the time).

Hi,

I tried doing this to the latest CM m7 ROM but got stuck in a bootloop, I used the bundled cm boot.img. I am now stuck with a softbricked nexus 7 and have no way to get out of it, I have tried converting the m6 ROM but that also failed with the same issue. I was running a cm11 all-f2fs ROM made by someone on the forum (the thread has since been removed and I cannot find it) fine, but I wanted to upgrade to 4.4.3.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Martin-Doc:
Guys I need some advice. I converted my filesystem to ALL-F2FS (I am sure about that), have F2FS enabled multirom recovery, and tried to convert the latest PA 4.4 RC2 to F2FS using this tool. I was successful (I repacked with legokernel to bake in the F2FS ramdisk), and flashed it as secondary rom, having the F2FS Carbon rom as my primary. In the process of flashing I chose not to share kernel and after flashing the PA rom, a flashed the faux kernel for the PA secondary. Everything worked as breeze, and I was so happy with PA that later I booted into recovery and decided to swap the PA to the primary slot. After this swap, the PA rom (as primary) wont boot and is stuck before showing the bootanimation. I decided to clear cache, dalvik, fix permissions, to no avail. Reflashed the rom again - no dice.

Then I decided to go super-sayan and wiped every possible partition and clean-flashed just the PA rom. Nope, stuck before bootanimation.

TL;DR: F2FS PA runs fine as secondary rom, sh1ts itself when primary.

Where went I wrong? What should I do? HALP!1!!

Hi. I modified the code for Nexus 5s specifically.

I modified it for Nexus 5 and added Nexus 5 kernels.

With options for F2FS (/data) and F2FS-ALL kernels.

I have also reduced the time the script takes to about ~2 - 3 minutes including repacking.

It can be downloaded here:

I have the modified version in this post to make it easier to achieve F2FS or F2FS-ALL along with a few other tools.

May I ask why you posted this here in a Nexus 7 thread? Are you trying to say that this will also work for the Nexus 7? Or are you just telling everyone with a N7 that you have this working for a N5? Just curious and thank you... :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dechronic:
It was originally created for the Nexus 7. In fact the original F2FS Converter was designed for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. I am just posting this that the original creator can use the code to make it run faster like how I have it or that others can use. It can be used with any device if you select (15) you can use any kernel that already has the necessary F2FS support. it should be possible with any device that has a kernel with F2FS support and one of the newer custom recoveries that support and I am willing to help anyone get it done. I am in the process of helping some S3 phone users to do it. I will even provide the steps to make it as easy as possible. So if you are anyone has any questions I will help out as much as I can. I am just putting in my 2 cents toward this straight forward way of modifying a ROM for F2FS-ALL.

My latest version v0.3 (heavily modified version of the original as found in Post #1)

http://d-h.st/Xyu

Made changes to correct major errors from my previous version, to put more fault checks in place and provide better instructions for non Nexus 5 devices to use. Version number is in the Window Title from v0.3. The process only takes ~2 minutes as opposed to the original script which takes ~15 - 20 minutes.

NABENDU1 you can use whatever your want from the script as you are the original developer of it and this is my contribution to what you have started.

I maintain a suite of F2FS converter tools for the Galaxy Nexus (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/tool-galaxy-nexus-ext4-to-f2fs-rom-t2794702). My testers and I discovered that SlimKat mounts /data in the updater-script as EXT4 for some reason and it was causing problems because my scripts did not looks for that line to find and replace. SlimKat for grouper does too, so I assume it's common to all Slim updater-scripts.

Do you plan to make it compatible for N5 ? ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] poo706:
Well no, I hadn't planned on it since I don't have an n5. The only things that make the tool specific to the gnex is the line that formats /system and the kernel (boot.img). I can change the format line to something that will work on all devices, I'm already using that on my gnex and grouper LS builds. I may release a new round of updates with this change, gotta talk to my gui maintainer. So if I did, you would just need to swap out boot.img with one from a n5 f2fs kernel and you'd be golden.

Tool for Tilapia

[MENTION=4668017]NABENDU1[/MENTION]

Can you release a version for the Nexus 7 3g Tilapia Model?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NABENDU1:
I have atm stopped development for this Tool as im back on ext4 ( on my nexus 4 ) dont own a Nexus 7 neither Nexus5.

Reason for reverting back is its not really helpful on the system partition in my view.since system is a read only partiton. If you format /data into F2FS youll be at the same performance level as with the System one.

Personally i wont mind building one for the 3G model. Only stuff ill need is an f2fs compatible boot.img and the updaterscript from your current rom ( though i really dont need the updater script also.

Thanks for the heads up! I think the latest TWRP for tilapia has an option to wipe the partitions to f2fs - though not tested by me.

Question is how can it be baked into a single ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mshnayde:
Guys.

Just need some help in the proper direction.

Flashed an F2FS kernel and than dirty Unicorn ROM which don't think was f2fs

optimized (not one of the latest versions)

Also, after reading think it was an older version of TWRP.

If I hold the down and power button get into the recovery but

can't seem to connect to the computer.

Can't find download mode as it just stays on the google screen and than goes dark.

Would love some explanation of how to hopefully recover from this.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] emanuele252:
I know that you can't connect twrp directly to PC. You need to boot the phone to do it.

I don't understand if you have the proper recovery, but try to flash a ROM and boot it. After that you can connect the phone to PC. If you don't have any ROM on your phone you have to install a factory image. It happened to me once and I solved by install a factory image from fastboot
