[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BAZ007:
I have few questions if anyone could clarify:

I followed the OP instructions but reformatting /data partition to F2FS seems to fail everytime for some reason, the -rm is unchecked.

1. Should I be making the repartitions on a wiped/formatted phone or does it have to HAVE a ROM? I will be using CM12 + Lean Kernel

2. If reformatting /data is then successful, should I also reformat /system as LK now supports it? Not sure if CM12 does though?

3. Do I have to restore the backup from TWRP? Or could I just reboot if I dont have data that I need (coming from clean installation)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
According to my pass experience from CM roms and probably even TW Roms , Failure for restore of /data partition would mean that the partition itself is too heavy(Too much data) hence it would fail...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BAZ007:
I am still at the first step to reformat /data and it fails with CM12, do you think its not compatible?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Please state your TWRP version
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wolfy:
I have just completed the conversion of data and cache partitions.

I found that latest version of twrp would fail to convert the data partition. Once I downgraded to 2.8.1.2 for hltecan I could format the data partition successfully.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] precsmo:
So lucky to see your message here!! TQ so much! Am running into the same issue. Strange enough, the latest TWRP does not include "mkfs.f2fs" in the sbin folder. Not sure why the older versions did?? the "Data" is requiring mkfs.f2fs to successfully wipe to F2FS. I do not know how to push mkfs.f2fs with adb, else the latest version would work too. So, I downgrade TWRP to 2.8.1.0 for HTLE, and it works!!! Hurray! Thanks again!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Do you have the recovery.log? Let me take a look
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] precsmo:
sorry, am not sure how to do it and I don't think the log still exist. I've done what I've mentioned on my previous reply. Then I tried download the latest TWRP and it works by formatting the Data to F2FS. I'm not sure what is wrong with my previous latest TWRP. Whatever it is, whomever has got the similar issue, try flash the older TWRP version and it works that way
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] [-Stash-]:
I've got this very same problem (won't format data, fails instantly at the start) with both TWRP 2.6.8.0 and 2.6.8.1. I just gave up and reformatted as EXT4, but I'll give it another go and see if I can find the recovery.log. I assume it dumps it in the root of the internal storage?

This happened while formatting /data from ext4 to f2fs . Also my USB storage has not been able to mount since I switched from X-note to Euphoria Rom Lollipop. Please help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scotteb:
change recoveries. i am only able to change to f2fs with twrp 2.8.4.0 if i use newer, it will fail also. After you convert successfully, if you restore your backup and it fails, then your recovery image is too big for the data partition already.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] davidsha:
hello, Working on lollipop tw rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Yes most probably. I havent tried it yet but it should still work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asusgarb:
I tried doing a clean install with cache, system and data already in f2fs of Temasek CM12.1.

Every flash (ROM, gapps ect was successful), but I got stuck on boot animation. I tried 2 times to be sure.

When I do a dirty clean (update) I'm used to format system manually, and after that installing ROM and gapps.

Will everything go well, or I'll get stuck on bootloop because I'll start from f2fs empty system?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Actually if you're upgrading to a same rom base, you just have to flash on top of it without doing anything. Unless TWRP reverts the partition to Ext4.

It would be best if you do everything from EXT4(Upgrading your rom), and restore the data(EXT4) to the rom before backing it up and doing the conversion process again?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] psycho4us4:
Twrp will revert it to EXT4 because it's written in the ROM package "updater script" to format to ext4. Never work.

Would have to flash, backup, convert, then restore for both system and data. Which is a good idea to have a backup so you don't have to start fresh if something happens.

Not sure about cache but i doubt cache is touched.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
Hey, I am new to know this f2fs file system and I have read the OP twice now, in detail, but one thing I can't figure out, is it a MUST to make a restore? I mean say I don't have any important data to backup, I just want to install a ROM freshly, can I do that and have f2fs being used in the process? For example I am on a stock 5.0 ROM, Deodexed, which comes as a zip package obviously, if I want to flash that ROM from TWRP, I just need to flash an f2fs kernel BEFORE wiping anything from TWRP, right? But I what I don't understand is the next part! I mean after wiping everything, or rather altering the file system to f2fs, when I will be installing the ROM from TWRP will the system maintain at f2fs or it will revert to EXT4?

Sorry I know I sound like an idiot, but as I said I have never really known anything about this file system before.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
If your rom is completely clean, Go ahead and flash a f2fs compatible kernel and than convert the partition blocks to f2fs subsequently.

The restore part is not needed since you dont have any data in the rom thats in ext4 previously.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
Thanks mate. The ROM is not completely clean, I mean I have Xposed installed and obviously some other apps, so do you think I should make a clean installation of the ROM first, then install the compatible kernel and then go on with the f2fs conversion?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ianchua:
Yes you do need to make sure that the rom completely clean. But you do not have to make a clean installation.

All you have to do is go into the recovery and wipe the data partition. It would empty everything thats in it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ithehappy:
All right, I am doing it now, just to make one thing clear again, I just need to convert CACHE, DATA and SYSTEM to f2fs only? I will NOT touch INTERNAL STORAGE and DALVIK CACHE right, I mean they will stay as it is?

Dear S4 users,

As you might know, Voice-Commands can be very handy to control your Music Player in the shower.

'Pause', ' Volume up', 'Volume down', 'Next', 'Previous'... but 'Play' NEVER WORKS!!

So I started googling and found a (more or less) solution on a Dutch Android forum, but it's nowhere to be found on androidcentral or xda!

I started trying what I read: all kinds of shouts and vulgarities. Then suddenly, it worked.

The solution: (I'm still angry at Samsung for this...)

Imagine your the Queen of England or James Bond.

Now say 'Play' the most lofty way you can, so like: 'Plaay'.

It should not be an American 'a', but a British 'a' !

Hope this helped.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoanneDisFan:
My daughter's TF300T started acting strange recently. Sometimes it will just stop recognizing any touches from the screen. To unlock I often have to turn touch the power on/off button several times before the touch screen will respond. It sometimes reacts very slow. The tablet is several years old so no warranty. Device is not all original on the most current version of stock. No root as of yet.

So if I root and install a custom rom (thinking crombi-kk) would this possibly recalibrate and fix the touch screen?

If you're assuming the Note 4 will be water resistant like the S5 then you are mistaken. I'm disappointed in this as well, but for some reason they chose not to add this feature to the Note 4. There is nothing covering the USB 2.0 port, for starters. If you want waterproof, start emailing Lifeproof I suppose.

we better get android L..... This phone is shipping with 4.4.4... no way it says 4.4.4 forever -.-
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
It will almost definitely get Android L. It's only just released and L is round the corner so the lifecycle of support for the Z3 will incorporate L (albeit delayed while Sony do their customisations). Of course, if you unlock the bootloader you can stick custom roms on and there will definitely be Android L roms available. Hopefully a root exploit will be found before that so we can unlock without losing the DRM keys.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalker6705:
Sony already announced that all the phones in the main Xperia line will be getting the upgrade to L, starting with the Z3 around February. Final code will be going up on November 3rd, so a few months after that, late winter/early spring for the official update.

App2SD, no idea. I've been surprisingly content with 32gb onboard on most of my devices, so I'm gonna worry about that problem much later.
