Well Ive tried to install it a bunch of different times now, do you think double installing it will change something?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Maybe. It did the trick for me bunch of times. No harm in trying, right?
[HTC EVO 3D] tyscof:
Well I tried it a few times but didnt work. =/ darn

I tried messaging viper the guy who posted the lastest update on here but I doubt he will get back to me, any other suggestions? Does it have to do with a kernal or something?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Did you check md5sum when you downloaded the ROM? Maybe the zip is corrupted
[HTC EVO 3D] tyscof:
No I havent but I have tried two different zips so I doubt that is it
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Try some other ROM. If the phone boots fine, try Viper again, but don't flash boot.img before, just wipe and flash from recovery. And make sure smartflash is turned on

TWRP-2.7.0.0 with "All-F2FS" support​

NOTE: I don't have a Nexus 7 3G to test this. It should work.

I made this because a lot of people asked me. Please report back after you tried it.​

I have modified the standard TWRP recovery to work with F2FS partitions.

This is for "All-F2FS" that mean that /system, /cache and /data are formatted with F2FS.

Keep in mind that this can work only with a compatible kernel and ROM.

What is F2FS?

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.

Download:

FormatPartitions.zip: Here

TWRP-recovery img: Here

Chagelogs:

- 08/05/14: Initial release

Here are some explanations. Read them

Recovery has the usual red back key to remember you that you are using a F2FS-recovery.

If wiping /system and /cache and making a factory reset from Wipe menu doesn't work, use FormatPartitions.zip. (<- READ THIS)

Instead wiping /data is fine within the wipe menu.

To switch your /system, /cache and /data partitions to F2FS follow instructions:

Keep in mind that you will lose all the files on the memory of your N7.

You need:

- Two files you can download above (img and FormatPartitions.zip)

- A ROM with "All-F2FS" support (Make your ROM with Convert To F2FS)

- GApps (i think you want PlayStore.) Usual GApps. Slim AiO work well.

Copy a ROM with "All-F2FS" support to your N7

Copy GApps to your N7

Copy FormatPartitions.zip to your N7

Reboot in bootloader

Flash this recovery with Fastboot (Maybe Flashify works too)

Reboot in new recovery

Flash FormatPartitions.zip

Reboot recovery (It's needed for some reasons..)

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

Go to Wipe Menu and Format Data (Not a simple wipe)

Reboot

Done.

It's easier than it seems :)

To restore partitions to stock:

- Download a standard TWRP

- Download RestorePartitions.zip

Flash RestorePartitions.zip (Untested)

Flash standard Recovery

Format Data in Wipe Menu

Hope i dind't any errors writing this down. I personally tested this procedure.

Enjoy. :D
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] b4b4.4l1:
Ah, about time. I'm gonna try this right away and report back. I've tested back and forth and f2fs does boosts our tilapia device performance quite a lot(according to the benchmarks results at least :p)
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] sudipt123:
Wow, cool- truly missed all f2fs implementation in my tilapia, will try this ASAP, Thanks!
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Fransis88:
Hello you legolas, first thanks for sharing your wonderful work

I currently use f2fs 2.6.3 with support for data only, which had so far for tilapia.

I have a question to see if you can help me.

this recovery is worth for what we have f2fs only data? or I have to use a rom reformatted partitions in all f2fs?

I also see an app, which it seems the rom install on it, and it alone will reformat all partitions f2fs? is that easy?

thanks

edit:

I already am with f2fs in data, backup would have to do if I convert the data back to the rom "full f2fs"?

I turned the tablet to f2fs ... and now I do not start the roms not know I had to convert them too. the problem is that now I can not install the restore partition because this new version 2.7.0 of recovery can not mount usb. with the above if I had problems, I had a flash drive prepared with kernels and roms. but not able to mount it. I do not want to use adb to put stock the tablet, you can help me?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Fransis88:
I correct myself. I can mount the pendrive and have already restored the partitions. truth is that the recovery does not mount pendrive well sometimes, and you have to restart the recovery several times till you drop mount the pendrive.

but if it works, but not quite right

Can we use the modified Slimkat ROM for grouper (new kernel) slimkat 3.8 with this recovery?
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] aosp:
Add settings to enable/disable f2fs forcing mode so we can switch on …

…the fly. Force will force all wipe/format calls to use f2fs or ext4 depending on the selection. Also added code to ensure settings are re-written back to internal sd after a super wipe. Also removed fstab code to determine the mode since we now have a setting for it

Working very well here :good:

Using SlimKat build 5 official. I flashed the recovery image with Flashify, rebooted into recovery, applied formatpartitions.zip, rebooted again, flashed ROM and Gapps.

I just had to format /data two times and reboot after the first "format" because it said "/data not found".

Can someone please post a step-to-step guide on how to get a rooted stock 4.4.3 image with F2FS file system? Or maybe a zip to flash?

Thanks

PS: a link on how to get the job done in very well accepted to!
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] fidoedidoe:
Apologies for being (slightly?) off topic, but the opening page says this is to be used with suitable kernel and ROM. I'm having a hard time trying to find f2fs kernel/rom for my N7 3G (tilapia). Can anyone suggest (or report success with) which tilapia kernel(s) ROMs can be used use (ideally without the need for purchase of "Convert F2FS")...much appreciated.

questions regarding CM11 and Convert to F2FS

Does Convert to F2FS suppor CM11 for tilapia?

If I use Convert to F2FS the will I need a patched kernel? or does the app just do the job?

Can we use the latest TWRP tilapia recovery 2.7.1.0 to format the data, cache and system partitions to f2fs? also after we convert the ROM which kernel can we flash, will the stock kernel work?
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Loganberry:
Wow. It couldn't be easier.

I used ConvertToF2FS to modify the latest official SlimKat build (5961 at time of writing), and used your modified TWRP to install it on my 2012 Nexus 7 3G ("tilapia"), following your step-by-step instructions in the first post in the order given. It all worked first time.

Thanks! Yesterday my N7 was sluggish with the stock ROM; today it feels like a new device.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] punshkin:
Thank you for the tutorial. I was wondering, is it possible to restore a non-F2FS nandroid backup if i flash a F2FS kernel right after restoring?
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Balza76:
I've done the same and it works too but now I have some problems with 3G connection: everything is ok with WiFi connections but if I turn off WiFi and try to connect with 3G my Nexus reboots randomly. Sometimes after 2 or 3 minutes, sometimes after 10 but one thing is sure, I cannot use the tablet with 3G on.

Have you experienced something similar? The same happened with "pre-AllF2FS kernel" (Slimkat installed on a Ext4 fs with only data in f2fs format).

I've also tried to install the latest AOKP and Paranoid roms, converted with Convert To F2FS app, but they stuck during first booting animation...

Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks. :good:
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] aneto:
Me too. After converting CM11 M9 with convert to F2FS, and following all the steps in OP, stuck on bootanimation.

If I flash slimkat converted it works, but no 3G. After compare the update script of Slimkat original and converted i found thos 4 lines changed:

original lines

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA", "/data");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");

replaced for:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

Then I download the original CM11 M9 and replaced the 4 lines in update script.

For the kernel, after flash the manually converted rom and GAPPs, then I flash M-Kernel compatible with All-F2FS.

It works for me!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ecchi:
After installing and uninstalling Contact_changer_v1_3.cab, and MyPrefixdial (because I couldn't get them working :oops: ), "Contacts" can't launch.

When I pressed the sofkey, "Contacts" loaded just less then half a second then the screen returns to Today. Tapping "Contacts" on the screen behaved the same.

I tried lauching it from the Start > Programs > Contacts, but there was no response.

Soft-reset many times, but still no response.

However, I could view the contact detail from the Call History. But just can't get Contacts to start the listing.

Can anyone advise me to fix this problem?

many thanks!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ecchi:
temporarily resolved...

After further overclocking to 240MHz (from 228) by using smartkey+Omapclock and after a soft reset, Contacts is back!!

I suspected that during the boot process, various processes (or program modules?) must be loaded into the memory WITHIN a specific time frame. Therefore, like in my case, I have installed some 27 programs now, and had had about 10 installed and later unistalled --- include a few registry tweaks (device), a few utilities (device), and everything else (TCMP, isilo.....etc on SD storage). Most programs load a certain process during boot time, therefore as one install more programs the device boot time takes longer.

Problem like mine that Contacts could not launch may due to that during boot time, a process belong to Contacts did not load properly. Thus, overclocking in this case temporily resolved the problem.

Indeed, I did get the same problem when I was fiddling with installing and uninstalling the Contact_changer_v1_3.cab, and MyPrefixdial last week. But after a few softreset, the Contacts was back so I did not bother investigating.

And one interesting note deserves a new thread to further discuss is that during boot time if the device turns off itself (due to Power Conserve settings), the device hangs indefintely.

So, long ago (maybe when I was onto installed programs 24)I have developed an habit to intermitantly tab the boot screen every 30sec to prevent the device to go into autooff mode during boot time.

All in all, the culprit is probably what happen during boot time. That one must ensure all required processes be loaded properly. But how can we ensure that? we can't rely on overclocking indefintely, can we?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jeasbe:
Re: temporarily resolved...

A very good habit ecchi!!

Helpful and Practically true !!

One can also increase the Device off time to 3 mins to avoid tapping(though Not required practically as it shall consume more power)

Yes that is a home screen. Probably done with Zooper as stated above. You can Google some pretty awesome zooper layouts. Just download them from the web and customize to your liking. It is kind of difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it. It's for power users I'd say. You can customize pretty much anything how you want for your home screen.

Anyone know how this is supposed to work? I don't think mine is working. I'm assuming that if I type a phrase a lot it will learn that and change the next word suggestion appropriately. For instance I often type, "let me know if you need anything" and it never suggests need after you. I would think it would learn that that's what I'm looking for. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, though. Is this working for others?

Maybe I need to clear cache or try uninstalling updates and re-updating.

[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
I am sorry to start a new thread, but this is sort of an emergency.

My Lady Susan upgraded to an LG-G2 on Verizon a couple of months ago, and we were assured it was a World Phone. We called Verizon Tech Support, got transferred to the International Travel folks, requested it be unlocked if necessary for use in England and Scotland. They assured us over and over that this phone is not locked in any way and all she would have to do is obtain a sim from some provider like Three in London and put it in and set up the APN as necessary for the LG-G2 to just work over there.

They warned us to pull the Verizon sim out before turning it on in the UK or she might incur international roaming charges - tried to sell her some kind of plan to mitigate that possibility in the process, but admitted that it was unnecessary if she was careful to not have her Verizon sim installed while the phone was powered up in the UK.

She got over there this morning, found a Three store in London, and they told her her Verizon LG-G2 was LOCKED to Verizon-only and could not work with any other provider at all.

She is currently without data or even a UK cell number. Was Verizon wrong about the LG-G2 being possible to use in the UK, or was the guy at the Three store wrong ?

We are not concerned about LTE speeds, most of the area she is traveling through is 3G only at this point anyway. She needs data though, for Hangouts if nothing else.

If the LG-G2 is useless over there, maybe she can buy a pre-paid phone for the two weeks she is traveling. Any suggestions ?

I have told her to find another Three store, or an O2, or anybody that might have a clue, but I fear it was Verizon that was clueless when they told us it would "just work". I use only Nexus devices myself, and my Nexus5 would not have this problem ! :)
[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
To be clear, this is a stock Verizon LG-G2 with the recent LG stock KitKat firmware received and applied via OTA. Not even rooted.
[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
Both Vodaphone and Three shops in London have told Susan today that her Verizon LG-G2 is carrier-locked by Verizon and cannot be used in the UK on either Three or Vodaphone. So, for the next two weeks she is on WiFi only. They both tried to sell her a phone and plan for about $100, so she would have something to use while traveling.
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
Its not locked, they are incorrect... I don't know the UK market but couldn't she just get a prepaid SIM and set the APNs herself (Verizon global mode phones are notorious for not getting APNs from the SIM)?
[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
She could, if she could...

I told her she would need to set her APN up and change her network mode to GSM instead of CDMA/LTE, but she got That Look in her eyes, so I told her the nice people at the shoppe would be able to help her. And to get a prepaid for mostly data and call me over Hangouts.
[Verizon LG G2] kude87:
Very odd. When I was in the UK a year ago, I used my 'carrier locked' Verizon S3 just by buying a sim from Tesco (major grocery retailer) and upping my balance when needed. Was fairly pain free. And that was when phones were more locked down, and all new phones claim to be global in that sense.
[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
I know, right !

I think she just got a couple of nincompoops at the shops she went to yesterday. Maybe she will have better luck today in Edinburgh.

There can't be anything that wrong with the LG-G2 that it won't work on a GSM sim in Europe. When we were in Italy last year we used both Wind and TIM Sims in Verizon World phones set to GSM mode, worked fine even for playing Ingress.
[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
Just a thank you update...in Edinburgh this morning she was able to find a competent shop clerk and now is busy hacking Ingress portals with cheap and functional sim data ! She kept trying based on your advice until she found someone not trying to sell her a prepaid phone.
[Verizon LG G2] brandogg:

Hi everyone,this is my first post here on xda but i have been observing and following XDA forum for quite a while now,

Now recently I tried to install Origional CM10.2,

Steps i followed were

I had 2.3.4 ( i did installed CM9 almost an year back but then odin back to stock for reasons i dont remember now)

First i Flashed Speedmod kernel via odin 1.7, and then flashed glitch kernel zip using the recovery that came the speedmod kernel,

Wiped devlik cache and went on to install CM10.2,

Everything went fine till i noticed that i was not getting any reception and after googling a bit,identified the problem as efs folder corruption!

I immedietly flashed back to 2.3.4 using oddin and that solved the problem, and my fone was getting the signals on stock 2.3.4,

Following instructions from google, I used EFS recovery softwere to backup my EFS folder,

and then followed the same sequence to flash again to 10.2CM, but here come the tricky part:mad::eek:, EFS pro didnt seem to work on CM10.2, i have everything installed perfectly, debugging mode is on, still cant get to restore the efs folder!

I even tried manually copying the backed up EFS folder and putting it in system folder using root explorer etc,but that didnt seem to work, I changed the permission to Read/write aswell, still it says operation failed!

EFS pro was my best hope but it just doesnt work, tried a newer verison of it(newer than the one that i used to backup the efc on GB),that opened but didnt have my device in supported list,and neither was showing any backup!!

This is what i have been doing for past two days:(:(

Now I am back to 2.3.4,and IMEI is working fine now.

and additionally just to check whether this happens only on cm10.2 or other versions as well, I flashed Cm10.1 aswell as cm9, same problem there aswell :(

(As far as i remember ,last year when i flashed CM9,it worked fine but was laggy so i flashed back,only thing i did differently was that i didnt install any kernel)

So any ideas how i should proceed now?

I would thankful if someone can help me ,

and sorry for the long story,i wanted to give as much precise info abt problem as possible!

:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Were you rooted when you tried to manually restore your efs folder? It should let you change it if you have the right permissions.

I would try to make a manual backup of your efs folder while you're on stock GB and try it again on the ROM you wanna use if you lose your IMEI again. Perhaps try another ROM as well, see if you get the same issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooneyb:
I have had problems with losing my imei after flashing to cm10 variants as well. In the steps that I took in this video I didn't lose it and I haven't had anybody else report that they have in the comments.
