So I flashed TWRP from the 2.8.10 release... I don't see an option for f2fs. This has become a mad goose chase, can someone just come up with some simple instructions? This is incredibly frustrating.

About sim card I'm working on it but I have too much to test. Building is taking too long (build in virtualbox) so yes this will be slow (build takes 4-5 hours to complete). :(

Did you use rashr Philz recovery?

if so then you need to:

1. flash Fota partiton with flashtool

2. then you have to flash cm11 kernel from here

3. flash rom and gapps

4. reboot

If successful you will have f2f for / data and /cache as attached

[Xperia SP General] AdrianDC:
Tried a lot of things to get a F2FS fully working, got it once but went bad,

and then every other attempt was unsuccessful.

Here's how I got it all working fine :

- Have a working Recovery, PhilZ or Cyanogen Recovery both work fine with the ROM (unlike with the kernel zip).

- Format everything (/system, /data, /cache)

- Flash CM11 ROM with f2fs support : http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/sp-cm11-f2fs-support-compiled-gcc4-8-t3070612

- Reboot to PhilZ v6.57.9 Recovery (Volume -)

- Wipe and Format Options, Custom Format Options

- Toggle f2fs <-> ext4 migration > "enabled"

- Format /system, ext4 (f2fs is useless here)

- Format /cache, f2fs

- Format /data and /data/media (/sdcard), f2fs

- Flash latest CM12.1 ROM (here 2015016)

First boot went quite quickly, configured as always.

Then I rebooted, had only Cyanogen Recovery.

- Flash latest GApps

- Flash SuperSU 2.46

Once again, I lost my WiFi MAC address.

Anyone else has a "a0:e4:53:....." MAC for WiFi ?

Restoring my apps and settings now, will report again later.

Thanks !
[Xperia SP General] Mrcl1450:
/system? I haven't added f2fs to /system... oh well :rolleyes:

Either that or the ROM flashing did revert the system back to EXT4.

How to disable or remove the cyanogen recovery from the rom which has come in-built???

F2FS will need to be tested.
[Xperia SP General] wax911:
F2FS Running perfectly

Downloaded and running without a single hiccup. Thanks dev for the amazing work! :highfive:
[Xperia SP General] AdrianDC:
Yes exactly, I just wanted to let the apps restoration finish (and sleep :D )

Flashing the ROM did indeed revert /system back to ext4,

flashing system in f2fs is therefore useless, formatting it in ext4 is enough.

So far everything seems to be working fine. The ROM feels smoother.

Only issues I had was a very heavy lag, unresponsive screen and black empty screen

for about 2 or 3 minutes during Google Play Store installation, Tx ART ;).

Got around 27 000 on Antutu, which is the same as before.

This is probably due to the system still being in ext4 and not f2fs,

I think the performance might be improved with a f2fs system.

Nothing wrong to report so far.

As always, FM Radio (included in the ROM) does not work.

The interface, applications and animations look smoother.

Other than that audio looks ok.
[Xperia SP General] Drakomord:
Hi ! Yesterday I have flashed 20150416 and I have format data and cache in F2FS, it work. By the way it's strange, the ROM is less smooth than 20150411. :)

For MMS it's fixed now. Just not forget to disable WiFi to send et receive MMS, cause CM12.1 dosn't support the temp auto disable of the WiFi when receive or sending MMS.

[Xperia SP General] headbon3:
Flashed build 0418 and after a night's settling..here are my impressions and some annoyance on the rom.

- UI is smooth and snappy upon 1st hour of flashing, installed some social apps, opened and did some multitasking, results? Average...but its a OK.

- i followed [MENTION=4657394]Theliakos[/MENTION] procedure regarding the wipes...and yes its true that its superflous to format system partition to f2fs, data and cache will just suffice as most of the read/writing tasks are done in those fields.

- sound is ok and volume, maybe needs a bit of cranking to fully satisfy my audio craving (headphones). Installed Viper mod as normal app, leave NuPlayer as default media playback. Installed the drivers, frozed AudioFX app..rebooted and wow, Viper works, a noticible improvement on the volume of both speaker and headphone was noted.

- tried installing Clash of Clans, here is the weird part, i cant seem to play the game coz the phone freezes and turns out unusable, tried rebooting 3x but did not solve the freezing, tried installing from Playstore but still no improvement. Rebooted, tried tweaking kernel via RAM manager, set to Balanced setting, opened CoC..and ots now working fine..no more freezes or hiccups (anyone experienced this?).

All in all..its a good rom. Hope a working recovery is included on the next update or the stable build.

Kudos to the Developer for keeping our SP alive and kicking :) ?

Facing a strange problem in both the 12 & 18 builds.. Phone rebooted when I was changing some settings, and it got stuck at starting apps ..

So I hard reset the phone, and phone booted this time but it again optimized all the apps (like first boot).. And some of my apps seemed to have lost their data/cache.. So it's like opening those apps first time after installation

Has anyone else faced this problem?

Happened when auto brightness was activated (for testing purposes).

I'm using Titanium Backup all the time, no issue at all.

Could be but i never use auto brightness, always adjust it manually...

As i said, i uninstalled titanium backup and it went away..

maybe it created some .odex file in data/app in my case and did not create the same in yours?? :silly:

Also, i still have this weird touch problem when it stops taking my touch at all and i have to hard reset it everytime..not able to figure this one out yet, it happens randomly.. :mad:
