[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
SO FAR THIS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH T889, I317, AND N7105

For those of you would might experience difficulty getting this to work with DN3 rom, here's a link to [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION]'s slimmed down version of DN3 (ready for f2fs).

As you guys might have noticed there has been some talk about F2FS file conversion.

In my opinion F2FS is much better than any other file format for android in speed and reliability.

Hopefully in a few years, they start making F2FS the default file system for all partitions.

I would just like to say THANK YOU to [MENTION=4365701]psndna88[/MENTION], because this wouldn't be possible if it weren't for developers like who enable cool features like this.

This can only be done if you have an F2FS enabled kernel like the infamous AGNI kernel that has F2FS enabled. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITHOUT AN F2FS ENABLED KERNEL

You can get the STOCK ROM version of AGNI kernel from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602053

You can get the CM version of AGNI kernel from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316648

The latest versions of both of those kernels have F2FS support. I recommend either of these kernels when attempting F2FS file system conversion.

As far as I'm concerned this is a MUST HAVE with any rom I install. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE F2FS SUPPORT ON YOUR KERNEL

IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE T

Now I am going to teach you guys how to successfully convert any rom from EXT4 format ( or any format for that matter ) to F2FS format.

T889 ONLY

1. INSTALL THE LATEST TWRP 2.8.0.0 FOR T-MOBILE ( T889 ) from here http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/t0ltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-t0ltetmo.zip Thanks [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] }.

I317 ONLY:

1a. INSTALL THE LATEST TWRP 2.8.0.0 FOR AT&T ( I317 ) from here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/t0lteatt/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-t0lteatt.zip

N7105 ONLY:

1b. INSTALL THE LATEST TWRP 2.8.0.0 FOR N7105 and N7105T ( N7105 tolte ) from here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/t0lte/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-t0lte.zip

2. In the { Settings } menu of TWRP make sure the [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ] is unchecked MAKE A FULL, COMPLETE BACKUP with TWRP 2.7.2.2 for I317 ( I can't stress this enough if you don't want to use Odin). Keeping in mind that whatever format your partitions are is what format they will be backed up as, such as EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, FAT, F2FS, etc. This will wipe INTERNAL SD so please make a backup of it.

3. Next from TWRP home, select { WIPE }

4. Then select { ADVANCED WIPE }

5. Then select { CACHE } and click { REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM }

6. Then select { Change File System } and select { F2FS }, then SWIPE TO CHANGE. After it formats successfully click { Back }. Then hit the back button for 2 pages until your back at the [ Select Partitions To Wipe page ].

7. Now select { SYSTEM } and click { REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM }

8. Then select { Change File System } and select { F2FS }, then SWIPE TO CHANGE. After it formats successfully click { Back }. Then hit the back button for 2 pages until your back at the [ Select Partitions To Wipe page ].

9. Then select { DATA } and click { REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM }

10. Then select { Change File System } and select { F2FS }, then SWIPE TO CHANGE. After it formats successfully click { Back }. Then hit the back button for 2 pages until your back at the [ Select Partitions To Wipe page ].

11. Next from TWRP home, click { Settings } then { X } the box that says [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ].

12. Hit the back button, then select { Restore }. Click on the package you want to restore ( this is the backup you made in step #2 )'

13. Next { X } the boxes { CACHE, SYSTEM, and DATA ONLY }. Then SWIPE TO RESTORE.

14. ALL DONE now just click { Reboot System } and PROFIT like you've never profited before.

I'M SERIOUS THIS MAKES A HUGE IMPROVEMENT IN SPEED AND PERFORMANCE

PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS MADE YOUR ROM AND KERNEL SUPER FAST

If you follow these instructions to the T you won't have to use Odin to recover lol as I have done many times.

HOW TO REVERT BACK TO EXT4 OR ANY OTHER FORMAT YOU DESIRE IF FOR SOME REASON YOU NEED TO:

1. If you don't already have a backup that you want to use ( backed up with the [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ] UNCHECKED ) then make one using Step 2 from above instructions.

2. Follow steps 2 through 14 from above, the only thing you have to do different is, instead of choosing { F2FS } for the file format you can choose ANY of the options available as long as the KERNEL you are running supports the format you are switching to.

3. That"s it PROFIT

3a. If you already have a backup done with the format you desire all you have to do is make sure the [ Use rm -rf instead of formatting ] option is UNCHECKED then restore the { CACHE } AND { SYSTEM } partitions from the package you desire that was made in the format you desire.

3b. The { DATA } has to be done manually by following steps 3, 4, 9, 10 but then hit the back button till your at the TWRP home screen. Next do step 11. Then restore the { DATA } partition from the same backup as mentioned in step 3a.

3c. Reboot and PROFIT
