Here is the combination I was able to get working (note that I am not running this combo currently - I'm not liking how the kernel seems to drain battery):

The combo I got work is this (details in link below):

- Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.9

- Nitrogen OS 2016-11-19

- MagiKernel v1.1 Stable-1023

- TWRP 3.0.2-0 (modded by xanaxdroid)

My thread >> http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-convert-to-f2fs-nexus-6-rom-t3516252

The combo I want is:

- Nitrogen OS (2016-11-19 or later)

- Flash Kernel v1.6 (currently)

- TWRP v3.0.2-0 (f2fs for Nexus 6 included - not sure what version though)

As far as I understand this, your actual version of recovery doesn't matter. The recovery with f2fs tools is just a way to be able to push the necessary f2fs tools into /system/bin/ (the ROM). It's the version of the tools within your chosen recovery that matters, and how that version lines up with the kernel driver.

I understand the basics, but I'm not yet understanding what is making my currently desired combo fail. One of these is true:

- the kernel driver must support the same or later version of the tools in the ROM

- the kernel driver must support the same or earlier version of the tools in the ROM

- the kernel driver must support the same version of the tools in the ROM

Not sure which one it is, or maybe it's none of the above and there's yet another component to this that I'm missing.

All of this f2fs stuff is "full wipe territory". Since you've messed around with f2fs, you may want to backup what remains of your data (if you haven't already), do a full wipe, and even go back to stock, and then reset to your desired configuration. Messing with changing file systems will make things go wonky for sure if the setup doesn't succeed 100%. And in my experience, just reverting to a previous TWRP backup may not be enough to restore things. At a minimum I'd do a full wipe of /system /data /cache /dalvik and change the file system back to ext4 (and verify all those partitions are ext4) before reverting to the TWRP backup.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the long answer, but this isn't an easy one to explain yet. But I have found that every time i try f2fs and fail, i need to go back to stock before I try to revert back to my previous configuration.
[Nexus 6  General] forgottenhacker:
Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. BTW flash 1.7 is out with some f2fs improvements. I'm going to try your combination later but would really like to use it on PN. Ill contact some devs working on PN and see what they say about this...I have wiped the entire device and formatted stuff, then used factory images to go back to stock...
[Nexus 6  General] TheArkive:
I will be getting back to that soon! I've gotta setup one of my older phones to take the place of my Nexus so I can do some heavy experimentation :D

[MENTION=2632235]bbedward[/MENTION]

I've reread your OP as well as your responses to my previous questions several times and I just have 2 questions left.

1) How does one easily check the version of F2FS tools they have from the command line?

2) Which of these is true?

- the F2FS tools version must be the same or greater than the kernel driver support version

- the F2FS tools version must be the same or less than the kernel driver support version

- the F2FS tools version must match the kernel driver support version

The context you give in your explanation about backwards compatibility between the F2FS kernel driver and tools makes it a little confusing for me to understand what angle of "backwards compatibility" is most likely required.

Thanks for any insight on this!

NOTE: I've done some searching for other tools/methods for other devices running F2fS. Oddly enough, Nexus 5 has lots of buzz with F2FS, and some good info too.

Nexus 5 Forum - Nexus 5 F2FS Tools Thread

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/nexus-5-f2fs-tools-t2801977

This actually goes in depth on modifying part of a kernel to support F2FS. Seems pretty straight forward, though ROM support still seems to be a factor according to one of the main links listed in the OP of the above mentioned thread. I'll dig into this stuff as soon as I get a chance. Hopefully this will help someone!

You deserve a LOT of thanks. I'll start. :good:

I'm running this build on my T-Mobile N910T right now and I can confirm three things:

1.) There are no issues with SuperSU prompt

2.) After install I only had to add my APN (chenxiaolong edits securestorage to false during install for WiFi passwords)

3.) Auto-brightness is working perfectly

There are no issues that I have encountered on this build with a clean wipe on TWRP 2.8.6.0 (latest). :good:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
Tips for Best Results

-Clean install (no dirty flashing between builds, Lollipop or not)

- Download latest flashable SuperSU HERE and install it after the ROM and before you reboot!

After it boots let the screen turn off on its own before running setup and logging in

- Add an APN to fix "No data" for US T-Mobile users: Go to Settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and click the "+" in the upper right. Follow the link in step 5 of the OP for filling in the boxes.

-Freeze S-Voice and clear data with your favorite app to get back "OK Google" command.

-Activate and use Viper4Android and Wakelock Detector with Root privilege (credit: Mcdavid)

Install SELinuxModeChanger and change to "permissive"

I'll add more as I find them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:

Do you lose Root with this ROM?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hurrpancakes:
What recovery are y'all using? Just now getting around to rooting so I can install, and would like to use whatever is most reliable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
I wouldn't mislead you. Other than Google Now not working (and we know now how to fix it) this is the best

stock

version of BOC4. If you want a modded system you will want Ax's Lollipop thread for BOC4. Otherwise, just install this by following the OP's instructions and all will be well.

Nope, you flash root in the 3rd step of the install.

TWRP 2.8.6.0 is what I used and is currently they only recovery for the Note 4 that you should be using (because PhilZ is discontinued). Most people will be using TWRP version 2.8.5.0, but I like to be bleeding edge.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faslane:
Yeah a few people had this issue after flashing the csc file in OP. You might just dirty flash the rom over the top of yours to get rid of it if re-flashing the csc.zip again doesn't fix it. I flashed it but haven't had this issue....yet. Fingers crossed.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
you're right..... I use FX as my file manager (the paid version with root add on). I can't copy/cut/paste files with it. I guess I hadn't tried yet until you pointed this out. I tried fixing permissions in recovery as the reply to your post suggested. No Dice. If I use the "My Files" to try to do the same thing, it works. It isn't an LP issue, I don't think. I used FX for sure without issue in CM12 for months now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faslane:
Yes, much needed to get into recovery or you can just do the regular reboot and hold Home and VOL UP too. In the Play store there's an app calld "Holo boot" or something like that but it is an app, when you open it, it brings up an expanded boot menu for booting into recovery, safe boot, power off etc. Might be useful but it IS another app on your phone.

Well I'm using the build.prop app from Playbstore but when I make a change and it asks to reboot the changes aren't sticking. Thanks for reply. Any recommendations? When you say read/write access to the file do you mean the actual file in the root level or the app? Where is the file located please? I'll look at permissions, maybe they're off, must be..Thanks bud. much appreciated.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tiffany84:
I'd recommend using root explorer or solid explorer. Don't know if you have either one of those. There both paid apps so may not be an option for you. I would highly recommend Solid Explorer though. It's the best file explorer/manager I've ever used hands down. I usually make modifications using adb or by creating a flashable zip but a lot of users aren't comfortable with that so those 2 apps would be my suggestion.

Question for you since I'm running a T-Mo Note 4 on AT&T as well. Did you flash the CSC from the original post or just flash the ROM and then enter the AT&T APN manually (which I know I'll have to do anyway)? I'm wondering if I should flash the CSC anyway, just so I don't have to manually edit the build.prop. I can't see how flashing the CSC will do any harm since I'll have to manually add the AT&T APN anyway.

I know wanam does.... but, it requries Xposed which doesn't work on Samsung devices on LP. I recalled an app on the play store called Multi Window Manager. I installed it. But, it says it needs Xposed to work right. So, I think the answer to your question is NO. Sorry.
