Instructions

Note: The following steps can be done in any order EXCEPT that step 1. must be done before step 2.

1. Install one of the recoveries.

Note1: If you are on a stock recovery and your phone is locked you will need to backup everything first!

Note2: There is a flashable zip to lock and unlock the boot loader without formatting (only after initial unlock) and Philz Touch Recovery has a password lock as well if you are concerned about security.

WARNING: Before doing the below step, backup your ROM AND your DATA on your sdcard as it will be formatted!

Suggestion: Do an adb pull.

2. Format the partitions using the flashable zips.

3. Use the Android Image Kitchen I provided to modify a kernel with F2FS support. Drag and drop the boot.img on 1_mod_f2fs_kernel.bat file and just follow the instructions.

The kernel can then be installed by sideloading the zip file (see step 4.) or using fastboot from the bootloader (e.g. fastboot flash boot boot.img)

4. Use the F2FS Converter I provided to convert a ROM to mount the /system with a F2FS partition

The ROMs flashable zip will have to be sideloaded (In Philz Touch go to Install Zip -> Install zip from sideload, / In TWRP click Advanced -> ADB Sideload)

Note1: Only needs to be used with a F2FS-ALL kernel.

Note2: There is an option to use your preferred F2FS-ALL kernel as opposed to the default ones.

EDIT: Added which batch script to drop the image file onto in step 3.

Thanks, makes it easy for lazy people like me. Will use it later and let you know how it went.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
If I missed anything let me know although I tested it to make sure it worked for myself.

Please remember to do a sdcard backup on to your computer. The backups from the the custom recoveries does not back up the sdcard.

Any devs working on a similar method for sgh-I747?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
I found a TWRP recovery that should support f2fs for your i747 here:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2att

Download the latest version.

Or you can use Philz Touch Recovery but it seems like you will need to build it yourself (if you know how)

Backup everything and move the backups to a computer.

And run one of the format tools according to which partitions will have F2FS (only /data f2fs-data OR /system /data & /cache f2fs-all)

I found one kernel that supports F2FS, there are probably others.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390147

To answer your question: I am not sure. I am just sharing what I did to make my life easier with others.

These tools will not work for your i747 as they are but I will look into what I can modify to make it work for yours and you can tell me if it works.

If you are getting problems I will see what I can do to help if I have the time.

I will post something when I can.

F2FS-ALL Kernels

You can check http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/kernel-f2fs-modified-kernels-t2746951 for some kernels.

The CM kernel was modified by me for F2FS-ALL

You can get it here:

http://d-h.st/1rS

I have modified the ElementalX kernel (ElementalX-N5-1.02-cm.zip) to F2FS-ALL.

Original kernel is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47286518&postcount=1

Note1: You need to install the CM kernel above first as the Elemental X uses the ramdisk of the current working kernel, which in this case has the fstab.hammerhead with the f2fs information.

Note2: I had to modify the mount command as well in the updater-script from this:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

to this:

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

nice! this collection of tools might have me finally trying f2fs on my Nexus5...

however, I've set my sights on this kernel http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/kernel-t2697951

there seems to be no interest to include f2fs support by default, could I perhaps ask for you to add it and compile? :angel:

I'm currently on stock 4.4.4 and faux kernel. but from what I read faux causes issues on f2fs-all, right? and other kernels I've looked at don't seem attractive enough to me... is there pure 4.4.4 stock with f2fs-all added? ^^ I found only 4.4.2 stock kernel.

Also... if I backup my /data can I restore it later onto f2fs partition? so I don't have to start from scratch and install/update apps?

no biggie, just wondering on this one.

thanks alot! :D:silly:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
I will look at that kernel later.

If you backup it up using an adb pull, that's what I did not sure about the custom recovery backups as they usually name the backups according to the format, at least for Philz Touch Recovery.

In regards to the stock 4.4.4 with f2fs-all, I just had up a post about that.

Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2791580
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
Sorry about the kernel but I only change the ramdisk to set which partitions are to boot with F2FS. So if it doesn't already support F2FS I don't know how to add it. I am relatively new to linux and android. I will like to setup a build environment and learn how to build the kernels and ROMs myself but I have been procrastinating as I need to free up some space on a drive.

Some kernels have the support but are not set up to boot the partitions. I am skimming the forums looking for different kernels to try.

At the moment I am using a CM (CAF based) kernel although there are a lot more ASOP kernels. I will try going to stock to try out some of them.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dreamliners:
Huge time reduction!

Thank you for your mod.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mzheng086:
Thanks for the great tools!

Could you please provide the modified f2fs-all Elemental X kernel you mentioned earlier? You seemed to have forgotten to post it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
It is in post #7 but it is the caf version. Or did you want the AOSP version?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mzheng086:
I might have missed something obvious. In that case, please point it out to me. In post #7, I only see a link to the original thread of Elemental X kernel, and two links to the modified CM11 kernel. But there is no link to modified Elemental X kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
Oh shoot you are right. I don't how come I posted the same kernel twice. Uploading it now. I will edit that post and copy the link into the next post once I am done and I also have a link for Chaos-Kernel_v13.0-[07-08]-[11-16]-f2fs-all.zip (nightly) which I will post shortly too.

it failed to mount my data partition and I got a 128mb temp ramdrive at each boot... not sure what went wrong.

temp booted cwm recovery to reformat back to 4ext and then philz to restore my backup from usb drive, so I'm back at a working system...

edit:working now with your kernelupload in the other thread, but I can't seem to get superuser working, flashing koush's superuser via .zip. also I et a bootloop running antutu... probably kernel. what AOSP kernel do you recommend? I'd love to use faux's but last I heard there was trouble with wifi for some reason...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
Honestly, I only just started using F2FS in the last week or so. I haven't tried an AOSP Roms yet to try out the AOSP kernels.

I just downloaded Slimkat as the script mounts the /data partition as well, so I have modify my script to account for that. I will try out some AOSP kernels that I will mod for F2FS-ALL and let you know what I got to work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Волк:
You should be able to remove that mount if the user already has /data on f2fs, since data isn't normally formatted, and hence fully wiped and unmounted. If the user is migrating to f2fs, then, yes that would need to be changed. Also, ROM scripts format /system to ext4, which has to be removed or changed to the f2fs command.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
The script searches for the mount /data command because as was pointed out to me, some ROM scripts mount it. Particularly Slimkat. It only changes it if it finds it. Otherwise it is ignored. If the the ROM is selected to be reconfigured as F2FS-ALL then it looks for any format /system, mount /system and mount /data commands. If is set to reconfigured as F2FS-DATA then only the /data is mounted as F2FS if required by the ROM's updater script

Hi, sorry if this question has been asked in this thread before but I had no luck finding it. I downloaded a nightly version of CM11 and it's fairly buggy, sometimes fast, sometimes dead crawl slow, etc. I would like to update to a newer nightly version without losing all of the stuff I've worked this past week to finally get together (tweaks, apps, new pics, memos, etc.) Is there anyway to update the version of Cyanogenmod without changing everything/wiping my data? Such as ROM Toolbox or something like that? Thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GavinN:
Hi all,

I've spent the past hour looking about here on XDA and the net to find out how to modify the Extender ROM of my M3100 to install extra programs of my choice after a hard reset. A few points to mention first.

1. I used to have a Universal and now the M3100 so I'm familiar with WM5 devices.

2. I've unlocked the Extender ROM and have full access.

3. I've tried my best to solve this before writing this post.

4. The best info is found here - http://pocketpcdubai.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/582600994/m/7891086801

So my issue. Here is the original CONFIG.TXT

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_Orange_REG_060612.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_defaulthtm.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Fix_ShowTodayTheme.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\HERMES_UK_BUILD_93_CLOCK.CAB

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

I am only interested in adding .CABs to the install. The files I added were:

PocketPlus.arm.cab

fit4cat_Hermes_Tweaker_v1.1a.cab

tcmdpocketarm.cab

Phone_Pad.CAB

So I added the files to the Extended ROM and updated the CONFIG.TXT to:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_Orange_REG_060612.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_defaulthtm.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Fix_ShowTodayTheme.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\HERMES_UK_BUILD_93_CLOCK.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PocketPlus.arm.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\fit4cat_Hermes_Tweaker_v1.1a.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\tcmdpocketarm.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Phone_Pad.CAB

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

After a hard reset I see the files are installed, they appear in the auto install app at the beginning but once the device has reset they are not there, not one of them! I must be doing something fundamental wrong but there is no good examples available anywhere to check my changes.

Anyone help?

Gav.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
The new cabs don't install because they are not signed.

On the Universal there was a signed cab which changed the security registy setting to allow installation of unsigned cabs, so the solution was to add this cab the first one, and other unsigned cabs after this.

I tried with the universal cab on the hermes (htc tytn & dopod roms) but it didn't work :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GavinN:
Hi Pof,

That'll explain it! Should have to worry too much as not intending to hard-reset the device often and it's quite easy to install manually.

Thanks for the info.

[Xperia SP General] Levered:
No, it's a side project so it doesn't get much time. Release won't be for several weeks. The issues are not only on the side of device porting but also on the side of Mozilla. It is still under active development, unlike Android which is only released when it is complete.﻿
[Xperia SP General] pranavthombare:
Yeah, but of we get Ubuntu, it'd better right? But alas, no dev to port it for xsp. Same is for Firefox. As [MENTION=4488810]Levered[/MENTION] said it'll take a lot of time to get updates from the op if it gets ported
[Xperia SP General] deathviper:
but it will get much attention by many devs and also Adam Farden will complete it , ya ya it may take several week or months.... but we can expect a new OS for our SP.

[Xperia SP General] antoyn:
No new news? :( :(
[Xperia SP General] adfad666:
I'm curious, what are you guys 'eager' to see this?

The reason for no release is due to camera. From what I can tell the camera blobs depend on some Android specific parts which will never be part of FxOS (of course).

Unless this is solved then I will probably not release this for Xperia SP as nobody will use it without a functioning camera.

I'm considering getting Xperia E1 to continue this project as this hardware is better supported in FxOS and it also looks like the camera blobs do not have this limitation.
[Xperia SP General] noahvt:
You caused it lol by posting this and showing a video everyone got all excited also you could just release non working build like many devs do with their custom ROMs: on some phones the phone might never have working wi-fi on custom ROMs (desire c fixed after about a year of tinkering) or if you check out the HTC one x custom ROMs they have a lot of stuff broken too!
[Xperia SP General] adfad666:
No way, missing camera (and bluetooth) are missing features too big to warrant a release.

Besides, would anyone

really

permanently switch from Android to FxOS on Xperia SP if I fixed these two issues and released it? I'd bet money on it that people would use it for a couple of hours maximum, then realize they need the Google services that push all notifications to the phone.

(FxOS doesn't have push notifications for most things, pretty much everything has to be reloaded / refreshed manually, even syncing contact data.)
[Xperia SP General] Dr.TheMaster:
tested on older device..

I have already tested Firefox OS on my older Xperia E Dual device.. it kinda sucked.. I didn't like the way it felt and it was laggy and super slow.. maybe it is better here in XSP
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Pedro Crispim:
Hello!

I am newly registered here, but I have been around for some time, and I love the forums and all the help one can find here. So I decided to register in order to ask for some help as well...

I searched for this, but I am not sure about the results that came up so let me ask it directly:

I have an Xperia X10 Mini Pro and, as it is getting a bit old, decided to experiment with custom ROMS. So far everything is stock and unaltered. And the phone is carrier locked to Vodafone. Will this lock be a problem somewhere along the way? And how exactly can I (if possible) unlock it while having a new, custom ROM in it?

I'd like to try out the "MiniCM7Pro - V21". Can I refer to this thread as a reference? Or, taking into account that I am starting from scratch (unaltered and carrier locked phone), is there a better place to refer to?

Thanks in advance! ;)

Best regards!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kt-Froggy:
Just keep in mind that the thread you linked is for the X10 Mini (not Pro, i.e. without the sliding keyboard). I am not familiar with Mini Pro, so I don't really know how much of a difference there is in the process, but make sure you find information that is relevant and applicable to your specific model...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] majikfox:
Note: This is a pretty unstable build.

In my testing I found that it crashed and hung a lot, and that many apps did not work as expected (force closes, refusal to install apk's, etc).

Also you will lose all the special camera features. You can't just port the camera apk because it has some system dependencies.

Ultimately I went back to ColorOS because this build doesn't seem to be ready for daily use.

Here's a bonus tip: If you install the Chinese version of ColorOS from here, you can go to About Phone > Updates and update to 2.14 Beta.

Edit: Gummy is a really good, stable, functional ROM. The only thing it's missing is the special camera app.

Is the VOOC still working? Is the 3GB apps limitation gone?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lexta:
doomboss, attached is the fastboot with the gummy recovery in place for windows.

Just put your phone into fastboot follow the instruction of majikfox by putting the CM and Gapps zip file into your phone root folder.

Open command prompt on the fastboot folder by clicking shift+right click =Open command window here.

Then type the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Once done

type:

fastboot boot recovery.img

and follow on the instruction of majikfox

1.Wait for the recovery to load on your Find 7 and show the menu.

2.Use the volume down key to move to Wipe Data & Factory Reset.

3.Select this option and confirm.

4.After the wipe is done, go to Install Zip from SD Card (you're not actually installing it form an SD card, it just says this because the internal flash storage emulates an SD card).

5.Browse to the folder you put your Cynogen and Gapps zips into.

6.Select the Cyanogen zip to flash it and confirm you want to do that.

7.Repeat the process to flash the Gapps zipp.

8.Use +++GO BACK+++ until you return to the main menu.

9.Select Reboot.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] majikfox:
VOOC is a hardware thing. It worked fine for me.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Exculpo:
My answer was regarding whether the VOOC charger would work or not in 3rd party ROMs. The storage limit isn't that easy to just incorporate in a ROM since changes in the partition table would have to be made. Just settle with 3Gb for now and wait for a safer way to unify/modify the partitions. Who knows, you just might be fine with 3Gb for now ;)
