U need a kernel support somewhat like this in nexus 5 for f2fs

[Moto G General] lost101:
Stock kernel supports f2fs, GPE kernel does not. Development of a GPE kernel that supported f2fs would be ideal, assuming the GPE stock ROM also functions correctly with a f2fs formated USERDATA partition.
[Moto G General] josip-k:
Has anyone even tried to flash boot.img from stock,and then converting in philz?
[Moto G General] lost101:
/boot/ (kernel+ramdisk) does not need to be formatted. Flashing boot.img before or after wouldn't make any difference.

Well, I tried using TWRP, but it ended converting my phone back to dual sim.
[Moto G General] lost101:
Using TWRP to reformat 'data' from f2fs to ext4 wipes SDCARD and didn't even change the format. Right now it appears if you plan on moving between GPE and non-GPE and possibly back again, keep a full firmware image for both.

EDIT: Actually it appears TWRP did format correctly. But the GPE kernel can't get past the Bootloader. Perhaps there are other partition table differences.

After another try..the following works fine.

Migrate to GPE:

1) In TWRP, wipe, and format 'Data' from f2fs to ext4 (this will wipe internal storage.)

2) Sideload / adb push GPE ROM or flash ROM and Kernel via fastboot.

3) Reboot​

Return to Motorola Stock:

1) In TWRP, wipe, and format 'Data' from ext4 to f2fs (this will wipe internal storage.)

2) Sideload / adb push Stock ROM or flash ROM and Kernel via fastboot.

3) Reboot​
[Moto G General] lost101:
I re-read your OP. The GPE Kernel expects the 'userdata' partition to be ext4. Unless someone develops a custom kernel to support it; you will never be able to run the GPE ROM with an f2fs 'userdata.'
[Moto G General] gharrrrrr:
Because you set all partitions to F2FS. Only need to change /data to F2FS. Leave system and cache ext4. You would need a ROM with a patched fstab and then a kernel supporting f2fs for system and cache to be in F2FS as well. Plus major benefit is in /data, not system and cache. I tested full F2FS on my N4 and it was more a pain with less gain. /data is all that should be F2FS.
[Moto G General] peporras:
You can get it by deleting the partition / data and change it later by f2fs with TWRP fastboot erase boot partition and flash the boot.img from the stock 4.4.4 rom motorola everything from GPE and I have it so it shows more fluid
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolcome:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to install CM on a stock, untouched Galaxy S II phone. But first, I need to install a new recovery. It cannot be done, though. I've done everything right, read everything a hundred times, and I know what I'm doing. And yet, it won't work. This is what happens:

Initialising protocol...

libusbx: error [windows_transfer_callback] detected I/O error 87: [87] The param

eter is incorrect.

ERROR: Failed to send data: "ODIN"

Releasing device interface...

I've tried everything, and nobody else on the planet has the same issue as me.

So I am thinking, screw Heimdall... there's got to be another way to do this. There is, right? Please tell me that there's another way.

Thanks a lot for reading, guys. I mean it. :)

Hello everyone. I want to install CyanogenMod to my Sony Xperia SP 12.1.A.1.205.

I already unlocked the bootloader, I already rooted it, and even my PC (using Linux) detects it, but I just can't get fastboot to recognize the device. If I type in the command line

adb devices
CB51240CAW device

But if I try to do fastboot flash boot boot.img to install CyanogenMod I always get "Waiting for device". If I type fastboot devices I get no response (of course I restart my phone holding volume up to fastboot).

Is it even possible that my PC recognize my device using adb but not using fastboot?

I just bought a new phone and wanted to find out if there are any differences compared to the EUR version?

The model number is the same - it looks like everything is the same except at the software updates: its v10I-SEA-XX not v10g-EUR-XX.

The only difference I found is that the updates are arriving earlier.

Can somebody confirm the differences please?

Hi Jah

There is a work round to this you can access the hidden menu

Dial *#*#4636#*#* and on preferred network type, choose lte/gsm/wcdma

This way you can get 4G without having to mod or root the phone.

I am pretty happy with stock at the moment. I think you need to reset it each time you reboot but to be honest not having to do that very often either.

I hope that this helps

Are you charging your phone with the original charger?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsbuttar7:
yes

yes ofcoz its original
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpetros:
There are a lot of reasons of why a device is slow when it is charging.

Some people say that it's the battery icon's animation. Others saying that non-original chargers are causing lag.

Also when your phone is charging, heat is generated inside the battery and that causes your device to heat up as well. Some ROMs detect that the device is overheating and adjust the CPU speed accordingly to prevent any damage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsbuttar7:
yup

i think its due to battery bar animation but i cudnt find any option to remove it...

Hey guys, I installed xposed yesterday on carbon ROM on my g2 and ever since, I've had a strip of lines on the right side of my screen. Anybody else experience anything like this?
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Return it to stock and take it back to Verizon for replacement if it's still under warranty, otherwise you're going to need to pay LG or someone else to replace the display. Wasn't necessarily Xposed that caused it, there's been a number of things that cause it to happen. Bottom line is the pixels are now dead on the LCD panel, that's why it doesn't show on your screen shot.

Plenty of threads on the issue if you want to know more.

[HTC One Mini] Caesar9542:
Hello! This is my first post here, I hope I'm putting it in the right place.

I got a unlocked HTC One Mini a few weeks ago, and I can't seem to dial out with google voice. When I try to have GV intercept outgoing calls from the dialer, the screen goes black and then just returns to the dialer. If I change it to ask every time, it enters a loop where it keeps asking me if I want to use GV, which I can't escape without selecting not to.

I have tried multiple dialing apps, and the same thing happens with all of them. GV worked fine on my old phone, so I don't think it's anything with my GV account. I have reinstalled gv, and tried to dial out with hangouts disabled. Neither changed anything. I even tried reverting to the default theme pack.

I found a thread that describes a similar issue, but it was never answered and the last post is a year ago. Sorry if I should have posted there instead

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/dial-nexus-4-google-voice-t2417535

I'm on a t-mobile prepaid plan, and I know I have minutes, because I can dial out using my phone's native phone number.

I am running CyanogenMod version 11-20140725-NIGHTLY-m4.

Thanks for any advice
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Did you update OTA?

If I were you I'd flash a different ROM (different FTF) maybe a different version or a different region, and maybe even backup TA partition, unlock, root, and flash a different Stock ROM and/or a custom ROM (CM, Carbon, etc), and see if the problem persists.

If there still is a problem then it definitely is a phone (hardware) problem, especially considering other devices work on the same network you're attempting to connect to.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Habulin:
I updated using PC companion as soon as I got it.

I would love to try flashing it and using either the latest official unbranded rom for my phone or CM/omnirom but I still have one year of warranty left which I don't really want to void. But to be honest if I can't get to fix the phone in the next month or two I'll probably buy a Nexus 5 and flash the hell out of my xperia T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
When flashing a unbranded ftf with Flashtool you dont lose warranty, as far as I know. :)

If nothing helps with your issue, you could send the phone to Sony two more times and ask for a refund, should the problem persist. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Habulin:
So if I understood you right flashing does not void my warranty because there is no need to root the phone which means as well that there is not need to unlock the bootloader? Side question, is this "global" or can my operator deny warranty because of an unbranded rom on the phone?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Flashing with Flashtool (the one here on xda, not Sony) is like updating via pc companion. :)

Just keep an ftf of your original operator firmware on your computer, should you need to revert for warranty purposes.

Flashtool leaves no traces on the device. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Habulin:
showthread.php?t=2648320

There isn't any Unbranded - Central Europe so should I just pick the Unbranded -Germany as there is no Unbranded - Slovenia? It doesn't make any difference anyways as far as I understand it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
I've backed up my TA partition, unlocked it, rooted it, changed ROMs, gone back to stock, relocked bootloader, and it's never left any trace of me having altered it, so if you do things properly, I don't see how you would lose the warranty. What they don't know can't hurt them ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Yep. Theres no difference exept some preinstalled stuff. :)

.. So good luck with flashing! :D :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Habulin:
That is quite true.

I'll be sure to try it as soon as I get my phone back from the repair center. If it doesn't fix my problem I'll just buy a Nexus 5 which should pretty much fix all my problems regarding updates too.

Thank you for the advice everyone.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hazardous Pain:
Hello,

Well I have noticed that the FB messenger is quite the battery killer for our beloved nexus. In fact, one time, messenger consumed more battery than ~6h screen time!! WTH? I know that FB apps are badly coded but messenger is not that much battery-consuming on my Xperia S which I find very weird. On one hand, I had to uninstall messenger because I am not ready to sacrifice that much juice for a mere messaging app but on the other hand, I have so much people that only use FB.

For the foreseeable future, I can still use the FB app itself but soon they will disable messaging.

Do you know any good apps that might replace the FB messenger app?

Thanks for your help guys
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] purephysics:
I don't know of any apps that actively replace Facebook messenger but equally I haven't noticed Messenger burning through that much juice on my N7 2013 either. Sometimes I find it skulking in the background doing sod-all other than siphoning system resources, once killed it doesn't seem to come back unless I prompt it to though.

I do agree that FB and FB messenger are poorly coded though. I wouldn't bother with them personally, but like you I have friends who just won't migrate to G+! Fools.

Yes, you can increase the resolution from 5 MP to 8 MP using software (it's called interpolation - you are just increasing the number of pixels) but the end result will not be the same as the same picture taken from an 8 MP camera.
