And before I try: Do you know if it will work with the Nexus 10? Or should I just try and report back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
No it won't work for the n10, but very likely it could be modified to work.

Has someone tried with cyanogenmod? Does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:

made shiny work if someone wants
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
Didn't Work...

on windoz, my latest carbon rom was successful to converted...

flashed... but stuck at google splash logo...

on android, there's an errors... ( attached ss )

need some advice... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Not sure what to say about Windows, are you using yesterday's update? As far as the Android version, looks like you don't have zip preinstalled on your ROM like I do and it appears as though your busybox is different than mine, which is what handles unzip. If you run "unzip" from a terminal, what version does it report? Mine is 1.22.1. Try updating yours with Stericson's Busybox app if it's older than 1.22.1.

I attached the zip binary from my ROM. Ironically I had to zip it up to attach it to xda. Unpack the "zip" binary, copy it to /system/xbin, and chmod 755 /system/xbin/zip, all as root of course. You might want to pick a different folder too, I'd hate for my tool to accidentally delete anything else under /sdcard/Android.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V_tunes:
for android version, i face this error either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
my busybox was 1.22.1 bionic wich came from cm11-M7 as default...

will report you immediately after rebooted... :D

thanks anyway...

ah, actually the errors also happened even on different folder

--edit--

after add your zip binary into xbin > tried with carbon and p.a

different errors occur...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molimo:
hello guys,

Would someone please explain me simply what the " EXT4 to F2FS" means? does it help to improve speed or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
It looks as though unzip is the only thing that's not working here. I'm trying to package zip and busybox along with the script and boot.img, but I keep running into problems. I'm working on it though.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latenightchameleon:
Its a file system with better performance. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS for details:good:

UPD: this tool works like a charm (tried slimkat and cm11), great job op. If anyone has trouble just post the updater-script and info in the thread, I'll try to help if I can :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
I just tried updating busybox to stericson's 1.22.1 and it works. So now that you should have zip working, hopefully a busybox update will do it.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
[MENTION=3927368]poo706[/MENTION] I converted PA on Win8.1 and got to the boot animation, but not beyond... I think that this isn't the Win's nor your tool's fault, but the fault of the recovery. When I boot to my recovery after installing the ROM and not being able to boot, I see that the partitions are reformated back to 4ext. Does that happen to you [MENTION=4759289]yayakuya[/MENTION]? Have you tried with a different recovery (older version)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Slightly different error here with BusyBox 1.22.1 bionic on Android:

Edit:

So it's a problem of "zip not found." I tried Stericson's terminal instead but I get the same error. Strange that unzip exists but zip does not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Ok, so you don't seem to have zip either. Yet your 1.22.1 bionic worked fine with unzip, as did mine, but not for yayakuya. You should be good to go after flashing the attached zip, which will place the zip binary in /system/xbin and set permissions. Or you can do it manually: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53851725&postcount=115 .

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
I really don't know what's going on with the windows version. I ran the same Carbon through my script and it changed out everything correctly. And several others have reported converting PA without issue.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Tried your zip but it doesn't unzip. I get a invalid zip error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Must have been a bad download because I just downloaded it and it opened fine for me. Or try the flashable zip.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Was indeed a had download. This time it worked but after installing and a reboot I still get a "zip not found" error.

Sorry have to sleep now. Will try again tomorrow. Thanks so far! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Did you install it manually or use my flashable zip? What's the output of "ls -l /system/xbin/zip"? And FYI, unzip is part of busybox, but zip is standalone.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
I still think that the tool is fine, but that it's the recoverie that's causing the problem... I haven't had time to check with another recovery yet tho :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
OP updated with Windows GUI tool created by sergialess. Check it out, it's sweet!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Isn't everyone who switched to F2FS on TWRP? Or do you have the option of changing to any recovery once you've reformatted all partitions for F2FS?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lrgx1djyhj3ckim/f2fsStockRom.zip

works for me

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

no, you need to stay with that recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
Nope, you need F2FS TWRP, I meant different recovery as in the older version of TWRP... But if you have been able to boot the latest PA with the latest F2FS TWRP on maguro, than ,sadly, the problem would be your tool on Win. But as I recall, they did manage to boot PA, but not the latest one (FINAL version...). Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to post the complete info about the phone when someone confirms that a ROM is working (i.e. recovery version, gapps version, ROM version)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
What's the story with the f2fsStockRom?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
Shiny rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Are you talking about me with regards to PA, F2FS TWRP, and maguro? Because I'm on an EXT4 LiquidSmooth toroplus. Good idea about providing more info when confirming that a ROM converts and boots.

If someone can point me towards a ROM that doesn't boot when converted with my tool, yet does boot when converted in some other fashion, I will certainly try to figure out what the differences are.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
To clarify, you converted shiny using my tool, reduced the the file size by deleting files from the zip that you didn't need, and finally got past the symlink errors during installation?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
yes

Shiny is a big rom considering it contains the gapps already, and you can't convert stock roms like Shiny

thus I removed some of the gapps even hangouts which you can install on the play store after you finish booting
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
Wasn't talking about you, it's just that PA is on the confirmed list and I've had difficulties with converting the FINAL version of PA. I think that it's confirmed for a previous version of PA :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
It's Working...

after update my busybox to stericcson's 1.22.1 > different error was occur

flash your "flash-able zip.bin" >> it's WORKING NOW!!! :D

i think the second step above is just DEFINITELY MUST!!! to avoid any errors

thanks for your awesome tool...

will report again when it really booted up...

oh, will trying your new windoz version later

regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Thanks for all the testing and confirmation. OP has been updated.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
Has anyone tested the f2fs shiny rom that I showed a few posts before?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
My bad. I unzipped it manually instead of using the recovery. Guess I needed some sleep. ;) It's all working fine now! I'll try to flash later. [emoji41]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
i have a question...

"how if i restore my prev ext4 rom, while im in f2fs partition?"

"could i just change only one partition ( system or data only ) to be f2fs like flo did?"

any answer would be appreciated

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
for the first question it will give you an error if you plan on restoring an ext4 rom while you're on f2fs partition

for the second question yes you can change individual partitions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
Another Problem...

Hey guys,

idk idea what was happened to my GNEX :rolleyes:

Windoz and Android methode are working well on pack/ re-packed

sadly, when i flash those ROMs ( from windoz nor Android methode ), my F2FS partition become EXT4 by it self ( something wrong with update-binary??? )

Here's my steps to do:

- Flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 MultiROM ( can't find f2fs switch option on TWRP 2.7.1.1 by [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] ) > f2fs/ext4 switch > format all

- Push the ROMs > Flashed...

- Reboot w/ or w/o Gapps installed

- Stucked...

Check those partitions, and i've got that system was formated to be EXT4 partition... that's why it won't boot...

- Reboot recovery > f2fs/ext4 switch > change the two ( cache n data ) f2fs partitions to EXT4 > then it boot normally w/o any problem

any idea...???

--edit--

Until this script totaly works for me, i get my EXT4 ROMs boot in F2FS partition by replacing some files from HERE...

that's files designed for LiquidSmooth, but i know it will work with other ROMs...

and now I'm running latest Slimkat with F2FS :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winamp26:
please mirror link.

i cant download from google drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Give me specifics on your edit. What exactly did you pull from that ROM you linked to and what did you do with those files?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Added mediafire, check the OP.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
+1 on this. Seems to be a common problem with some ROMs.. So at least now we know that it isn't recovery related since you've managed to flash a F2FS with TWRP 2.7.1.0. (btw the f2fs option for 2.7.1.1 is under advanced...) and it did happen to me to on 2.7.1.1... Must be some kind of updater script that's formating the partitions to ext4 on some ROMs [MENTION=3927368]poo706[/MENTION] Could this be the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
If I hear back from yayakuya with what I need to know, I should be able to figure it out. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53873541&postcount=150

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
F2FS is up and running! :) I converted CM 11 nightly 0701 and all is running fine. After formatting system, cache and data I flashed the f2fs version of the ROM and also 0627 Banks gapps, both from usb-otg. Then I restored a data backup and ignored a warning that restoring an ext4 backup to a f2fs partition can render the device unbootable. Now my system is fully restored and running great. A simple mount command in a terminal confirmed all 3 partitions are still using f2fs.

Thanks a million times everyone and of course with special thanks to poo! [emoji41]

I will report my experience after another 24 hours or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amd_h4x0r:
I just tried this with the latest LiquidSmooth 7/1 build with no luck. Both the GUI and the bat file errored out. I made sure to run both with Windows admin privileges but that didn't help.

EDIT: apparently you cannot use this tool from within a Dropbox folder that is being synced. Once I moved the tool folder out of Dropbox it worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
like what he said...

all the files... i just drag n drop whole files, into EXT4 Slimkat...

and walla... there's no problem while flashing n/or after boot :D

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ----------

yes, i hope to see that f2fs switch button is there under the advanced menu in TWRP 2.7.1.1... but seems like it's "gone"

i saw it one button empty ( should be that f2fs switch option )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
Sorry, my bad... It's under Settings->"Force data and cache wipe...to use F2FS"

Check that and "Include system partition" under that

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
OK, I gotcha now. What version of slimkat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
here you go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chongns:
Those who converted but flash failure can upload your updater-script so poo can have a look on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Ok, I think I'm on to something. I made a converted test build if you'd please try it out for me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9yga4rvfe6c4ygu/Slim-maguro-4.4.4.build.6-WEEKLY-5295.zip

What I found is that for some reason that I can't determine, Slim mounts /data with this command:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata", "/data");

Since my script doesn't expect /data to be mounted, it doesn't swap out that line. What I did was run slim through the windows batch like normal, then I manually changed the above line to:

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

My theory is that by mounting /data as specifically EXT4, as was being done before, was jacking things up, where as the replacement command is just mounting /data, regardless of what the file system is.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suo.Eno:
Curiously I've been trying to get kitkang euroskank's build to work from f2fs conversion but will always end up with play services and location FCs post setup? Paired w/ CM gapps 20410606 (or is this the issue??). You did yours w/ CM's proper build yes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Yes it's the original 0701 nightly combined with the latest Banks gapps.

So far the phone doesn't have any issues. It's hard to say if f2fs actually improves performance. It kind of feels the same to be honest. But it's working so I'll just leave it. Converting a ROM is easily done now. :)

How about the boot partition? Is it possible to format that in f2fs as well or would that be pointless?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Not sure what you mean by boot partition¿

Every partition that could possibly see performance gains from the new filesystem is already using f2fs

Oh and about the performance gain.... Just open an app that isn't in your recents (huge difference f2fs is way faster)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
I believe other devices have a separate boot partition containing the kernel but apparently the gnex does not. My bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iluvamk:
Does formatting to F2FS make the system part it on smaller? Before conbersion I was able to install mini gasps but now I have to use micro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qu4nd:
Installed mini here without an issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winamp26:
i convert aosb v1.3.6 and works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Would anyone with a F2FS maguro be willing to test out that slimkat from post #161?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
damn... since yesterday my network provider just f***n down!!! :mad:

5 downloads with always stuck at 65% n gone...

could you please attach here only the META-INF folder only?

will try it immediately... is it okay? or i have to download the whole rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
The updater-script is the only thing that needs to be tested, I'm pretty confident that everything's fine with the 6/28 SmittyV boot.img. I've attached it. Unzip it and swap out the updater-script after running slimkat though the converter like normal.

No worries by the way, it's all good. Thanks for testing!

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latenightchameleon:
Hey all,

I've built a little on top of poo706's work. Considering the little issue with slimkat /data mount, I added a line to make sure the converter swaps it for a f2fs data mount, so slimkat conversions should be flawless.

On top of all that I added two fully optional tweaks.

1) Slim down non-crucial system apps

2) Integrate an adblock hosts file to block ads everywhere and save traffic.

As mentioned in every file I modified and in this post,

all credit goes to the glorious poo706

for his much appreciated efforts:good:

Please test this out and let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
ok, now first boot... repacked with android version, replace that updater-script and it seems working... :)

the updater-script shows zero fault/error...

so... what's wrong with the tool with previous updater-script?

time to restore my data...

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

will try this also tomorrow morning...

it's 02:21am right here...

time to prepare "sahur"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Wonderful, thanks for the test. The details of what caused all this are in post #161, basically data was getting mounted as ext4 which my script didn't expect and thus didn't fix.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yayakuya:
so we will see the new tools released for Slim Rom fixed soon... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Damn dude, bold. I have no problem with what you've done here, but some devs have a really big ego and would get a little PO'd by a move like that.

That being said... Your fnr line for /data works like it should. I was going to add that already to my next release, just waiting for yayakuya to confirm that it actually fixed the issue. I really like the idea of having the option to automatically delete apks that aren't needed in order to reduce the file size of large ROMs, although I might want to tweak the list of which apps get the axe. I'm less into the idea of the hosts file (which is nearly empty, by the way). It feels like scope creep to me, I'd rather keep the focus on F2FS conversion.

So my next version will take care of the /data issue and have the option to delete apks, with credit to you. And I'll confer with [MENTION=4815527]sergialess[/MENTION] to get the GUI updated as well.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Absolutely. Until I do, you can use latenightchameleon's fork.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Is Shiny the only ROM that people have had to reduce to flash successfully?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latenightchameleon:
Awesome. The apk removal thingy was done on quick hand and definitely needs a look over, and I just realized that I put the wrong hosts file:laugh:

Either way, I'm glad to be at least somewhat helpful for the time being. As mentioned before, all credit goes to you:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Right now I'm focused on Shiny because I don't know of any other ROMs that are so large. I've been able to reduce Shiny from 364mb to 262mb by getting rid of:

Books, Drive, Gmail2, GoogleEarth, GoogleTTS, Hangouts, HPPrintPlugin, Keep, Magazines, Maps, Music2, PlayGames, PlusOne, QuickOffice, Velvet, Videos, Wallet, YouTube

I believe all of those can be installed from the play store. To get it even smaller, I'm either going to need to swap out Chrome for Browser or the Google Launcher for a different one, neither of which I really want to do. Or I can delete like 20 more piddly little apks, which I don't really want to do either. Ideally, 262mb is small enough to install an F2FS ROM.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daiskei:
Hey guys,

Got my M8 last Thursday and truly love this thing... Screen is perfect, no dead/stuck pixels, etc... There are TWO things bugging me though. Below the screen where it meets with the grey speaker area I am seeing a gap and the screen sinks in just a tiny bit below the speaker... On the left side it is flush with the screen glass and on the top of the screen it is completely flush all the way across and if I run my finger along the bottom bit where the gap is it feels like it is being pressed up by something inside. Second, my volume rocker is a bit loose but from reading around it seems like this is a normal thing... The only issue I have is that the half where you'd press for volume down sticks out slightly less than the half that you'd press for volume up (rests in the device just a hair deeper).

Do you think these are valid reasons to swap for a new device in the store or do you think the chances of me getting something worse are too high?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
Interesting, I just got my m8 because I made a teensy weensy crack in my s5, but that's because I was/am interested in both phones, so the crack have me an excuse to switch but I, and you too if you switch will have to sell your phone, for some less than you bought maybe, but if there is another phone you wanted to try, I'd say you've got an excuse especially if you're like me and like your phones to be pristine. Just keep in mind that pristine state always dies anyway within some time, every user different, so you do your math. Good luck. Try the s5. Pretty baddass and great battery life and playing in/ around the pool/ ocean is fun! Root it tho to speed it up. I can feel the slightly snappierness of the m8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daiskei:
I think I am going to stick with the M8, I don't really like Samsung phones and I'm sure even if the S5 is amazing that I'd just not feel content. I will be getting another M8 but I am worried that it won't be up to par either.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
Not a bad choice. Do this tho: if you get a used refurb or whatever that states "mint", like I look for, don't trust em. Have then double check with a magnifying glass. My "mint" M8 came with a couple micro blemishes on the screen voiding that mint claim. In my book at least. Good luck. Yeah, I'm liking my m8 thoroughly. Just waiting on wireless charging stuff

How can I fix it?

I tried so far again cleaning it from Android level and also formating partition via recovery mode.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
It's an old issue with formatting your internal memory with a custom ROM, and I think it's a permission issue. Can you access ADB through recovery?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
If you install a Terminal Emulator on your phone, you might be able to avoid using ADB. Ideally you should learn how to set up ADB (google it), or read this and see if it helps you.
