In my opinion, f2fs would definitely boost the speed of your device or rather smooth it out and help with reliability.

Great. Thanks for the guide. I'm sure you note 3 users will love this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
Thank you for this !

Testing right now.

i'll backup everything and save in external microsd, never know ...

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

I receive the message 'FAILED' when attemting to restore the system partition, but only at the and, after restoring all of the 2 GB :confused:

going on, maybe it'll work ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] psycho4us4:
Try slimming down your system partition before you make the backup. It's got to be twrp blocking the restoration of such a large system partition. We have the same issue with the note 2. Only for some users though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
i think you are right, but my ROM is samsung based, and it is soooo large :(

i don't know how much i'll be able to trim it.

Thank you anyway !
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] psycho4us4:
I hear ya. I also think it's time for someone to talk to bigbiff about this issue. Whatcha think [MENTION=2162886]lanchu[/MENTION]a
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Yeap. We should talk about this, it seems that various devices have various problems restoring system when the file is too big.

thank you for this.

I'm really curious to see the performances of f2fs on note3 :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Alright. By the way which Variant of the Note3 are you using?

And trust me, the effects is very visible ask the Note 2 guys who used it! They will tell you that its real good! And touchwiz lag? It tamed it

Sent from a ELITE S5 Powered Note3 rigged with f2fs awesomeness with Compulsion Kernel. Peace✌
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
you are making me VEEEERY curious !

the variant i have is HLTE N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Than you should be good to go.

Try this steps,

After formatting one partition and converting it, reboot to recovery before moving on to format and convert other partitions from there.

Sent from a ELITE S5 Powered Note3 rigged with f2fs awesomeness with Compulsion Kernel. Peace✌
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
The only partition that fails ( to restore ) is system.

So, if i well understood, i should try the following :

- format the system partition;

- restart recovery;

- restore the partition from the backup.

ok, i'll try !

thank you again !

EDIT : tried and does not work, reverting again to ext4 :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Does the back up of your ROM consist of a F2FS compatible kernel? If it does not, than it could be why your system refused to get restored.

Sent from a ELITE S5 Powered Note3 rigged with f2fs awesomeness with Compulsion Kernel. Peace✌
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
At the moment i'm using Ultimate Kernel, which is F2FS compatible.

What if i format using F2Fs and then do a clean install ?

Will i be able to restore a Titanium backup ? ( why not ... )
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Yes definitely. Just remember to put your TB backup folder in External SD card.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
OK, flashing right now on F2FS partition, will report later ( after succesful apps restore :) )

...

not booting ...

clean install failed !!!

...

flashed LeanKernel, doesn't boot .

it really seems i can't use F2FS goodness on my Note3 :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Okay. Try this once more,

Try Conerting the System to f2fs first than convert the rest there after.

Reboot to recovery after doing all this

For the restore part. Restore System,cache and data separately with reboot to recovery in between.

Sent from a ELITE S5 Powered Note3 rigged with f2fs awesomeness with Compulsion Kernel. Peace✌
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Yes. Do not touch internal and dalvik
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
All right, I have changed all those partitions to f2fs, now one last question, as I will not be doing any restoring do I still need to check (X) that

rm -rf instead of formatting

option?

I am still in TWRP, haven't booted yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
No. You dont need to do that since you're not restoring anything
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
Okay, so I have simply clicked on the Reboot system, and the phone is stuck at Galaxy Note 3 logo and at at top it says Says warranty bit : Kernel in yellow. Should I do a battery pull?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Its normal. As you're using a diff kernel.

Let your phone sit for awhile. It should boot up in awhile.

If it still does not boot up after lets say 10mins, do a battery pull
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
Okay, I am doing a battery pull, it's been more than ten minutes, still stuck at logo.

Update: Okay even after doing a battery pull its stuck at same place! I don't know what to do now!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] HSD-Pilot:
If you converted System to f2fs you'll need an compatible Rom for it. Temasek is the only one which supports System Partition. If you try to flash another Rom, let System in Ext4 Format and make sure your Kernel definitely supports f2fs for Data & Cache.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
Thanks. Well if I had known that f2fs is ROM dependent too then I would be not be doing it, cause the OP says for ANY ROM! Anyway, I am quite sure the ROM I am using is not f2fs supported, at least I don't see f2fs support mentioned anywhere, so I am guessing it doesn't. Also I have given a look at more or less all the TW based ROMs, and I didn't notice either of them have mentioned about f2fs compatibility. And I don't have the slightest interest about AOSP based ROMs, so I am sure f2fs is a closed door for me. Using f2fs without system portion won't make much difference anyway, would it?

I was using Arter's kernel, I am more or less sure it has full f2fs support. Anyway, happy to be back with EXT4 now. It's better to have a working phone with that format than not having any phone with f2fs :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kpirnie:
its not related to the rom at all.

Its kernel and recovery dependant.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] core7x:
Thank you. It work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] amin_pwa:
thanks so much it works and i can see different . but some problems .

beacuse every time i do F2FS on DATA sll my bsck yp file removed !

so i try 4 times and it failed so i use oden again to solve problem .

in last time i use last TWRP Recovery and i only do F2FS on CACHE , SYSTEM and i didn't do F2FS on DATA .

now i have no problem and phone speed up . it is good . :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] immi:
All done successfully, in the end stuck Note 3 Logo, the device never even went to Samsung boot animation logo :/
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Check >Kernel,Have you missed out any parts on comversion
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] immi:
No parts missed on conversion, and I'm using Audax kernel 2.7 which say's it supports F2FS
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Adywizard:
Yes it says, but only data and cache partitions, system partition isn't supported.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BLiNKT:
Im on Audax eom with Audax kernel 2.7 wich have 2f2f support does this means i can only change data&cache to f2f2 format?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Adywizard:
Yes exactly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BLiNKT:
Does this means i not get any speed improvements if i change only data and cache format
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Adywizard:
Actually you don't need to convert system partition to f2fs file system as system partition's only read partition.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BLiNKT:
What is difference in f2fs and standard format...so i must change only data and cache to f2fs?what is the correct steps to do this without losing apps and data and brick phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Adywizard:
Do exactly what op says without converting and restoring system partition.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BLiNKT:
But its say i must make backup to external card but i not have one how i save backup to internal storage without losing it
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Adywizard:
Using adb[emoji6]
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BLiNKT:
Does twrp automatically save backup on external sd card if i insert into phone or i must manully copy to external?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Fraser06:
When you do a backup, you can choose a storage device wherein you want to save the backup file. I believe it's below the checkboxes. Click the button that says "Internal Storage: ...." and you'll see the available choices. Click external storage or external_sd or something. I'm not sure. Just look for it. I hope I helped. Good luck
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BLiNKT:
Thank you i will try it
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kopitalk:
Can anyone guide how to nandroid backup and restore using adb to PC? I've successfully converted my /data and /cache to f2fs format but keeping /system at ext4 due to not enough space in my extSdCard.

On a side track is converting /system really necessary? I read some saying it's not since it's read only, and if I want to update my rom (with clean wipe) I have the advantage of direct flashing without re-converting partition format in the process. Of course I need to take care of the mount/wipe script of the new rom so that it won't change the format of any of the partitions. I hope my understanding is correct :rolleyes:

IMO it's totally worth the trouble converting from ext4 to f2fs.

Edit: Just got my OTG adapter, works really well with TWRP nandroid backup!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dalisoft:
Hi!

I tried to F2FS and worked before.

But now said error:

this backup may not boot unless you change back to ext4

E:Unable to mount '/data'

how to i fix it to restore backyp from ext4 filesystem to f2fs target?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sniperkill:
I dunno if this has been answered yet cuz I didn't finish reading the whole thread yet but in the first few pages I read where people are/were having issues restoring their system partitions after formatting to F2FS, and then booting their phones. Are you guys making sure that after restoring your backups, that your kernels are F2FS compatable?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sunshine199724:
i have changed file system and cache to f2fs , then set " use rm -rf... " on setting , but i can restore my backup ( it display " can't mount system... " ) , then i check on recovery home/ Mount , i can't tick system and cache partion box ) .

I use recovery 2.8.7.0 ver

redmi note 3 kenzo here

i keep getting failed to mount 'cache' (operation not supported on transport endpoint)

the same happens if i try to convert data partition. tried a number of twrp but i get this error

im on the official TWRP with f2fs support provided by thestrix

i currently have lineageOS with radon kernel, anyone can help? i can format it back to ext4 without any prob but when i convert to f2fs, it actually converts it but fails to mount etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
Already tried,

when i restore the system it seems working fine, but at the end i get the "FAILED" message.

System is really the culprit.

As said, even a clean installation on F2FS filesystem does not work ( stuck at samsung logo ).

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Alright. I'm going to download the ROM that you're using and emulate it. Give me a few moments to try.

EDIT: By the way did you Uncheck the box for rm-rf in TWRP menu before backing up? And checking it after converting and restore

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jackyaway:
I never made a f2fs install/conversion, but from what i know you need to edit updater-script on rom side
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] adario73:
do you need the download link ?

the ROM i'm using is no more on XDA ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] psycho4us4:
When you convert system to F2FS, then flash the rom. The updater script is reformatting back to ext4 upon installation of rom. Hence the reason you need to back up and restore. Naw mean lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hilmi94zul:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scotteb:
I followed the OP and mine would only restore the factory (but customized) nandroid and not any other backup. First it Hung on the boot screen, so after it restored, I flashed complusion, and phone now boots, only problem is that it boots to a screen that now says "data partition is corrupted, phone needs to be reset" tried the reset in the off chance it worked but no. maybe that bit of info can be of some help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
The f2fs compatible kernel should be in the back up that you did before starting the conversion process.

this might also explain why you had this problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scotteb:

No F2FS AOSP kernel

Hi,

I would like to try the F2FS (filesystem), but I use SlimKat. Any chance that you can compile a SlimKat version for the Note 3 with the F2FS patches?

*Building a rom on my pc takes about > 24 hours and I myself am not really capable of resolving build errors. I can only compile vanilla roms...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ElRongMcBong:
Now i am testing again...

If i make only the /system in F2FS i hang up in bootsplash. - no boot, nothing

If i make only the /cache in F2FS - Phone booted and all works

If i make only /data (with/without /cache) - the phone booted, but i get the messege:

"Device memory damaged

The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory defaults. This will erase all you data"

I make factory reset, but its the same...i change back to ext4 and its work again...only i can make the cache in F2FS :cry:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] SandeepEmekar:
I don't wanna be harsh or rude but OP should delete this thread as it is complete misdirect.

F2FS don't work in Note 3 even with Kernel having support for F2FS.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
I would like to correct this part. f2fs would work with the Note3 its just that there might be some bugs that the Dev of TWRP need to fix not to mention the fact that I already said previously that everyone should hang on for awhile before he gets back to me

I would most probably close this thread temporarily. And I'll have it reopened once the TWRP part is fixed if its really a problem on the side
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] psycho4us4:
I agree there are some bugs that dev of twrp (bigbiff) needs to fix for this to work flawlessly. In the op there's a link for the original instructions written by me. If you read the whole thread some people weren't successful in certain partitions but most were successful fully. The system partition on most roms are rather large. I think there's some kind of written code BLOCK that is stopping the restore of extra large system partition while formatted to F2FS. The data sometimes gets corrupted sporadically but once again, that I believe is a twrp issue as well. Moral of the story is that [MENTION=4761989]Ianchua[/MENTION] is totally legit in having this thread cause this WILL work once the slight errors are fixed by bigbiff. Hippie everyone understands and had the patience to wait for these errors to be taken care of. Thanks in advance.
