No it doesn't. And MUI will not read ext4 for you ext card either.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] as9333:
Can I use this method to format only system partition , will it be effective

Because I use dual boot and secondary ROM is miui v5

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] phreakenstein:
1. Yes, you can use this method to format /system.

2. As /system is read only, and F2FS doesn't really improve read speed, it won't be effective.

3. I haven't tested this, but I have seen no reports or have no reasons to believe miui supports F2FS.

There goes your answers. For next time, please read the thread, and use this little thing called Google. I've heard it's kinda awesome.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] TheMightyDeep:
Will it work ?????

If i format system to f2fs, will the rom work ??
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] phreakenstein:
Any armani-dev based ROM should work just fine. Which is, almost every source based custom room out there.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Berinjo:
the rom is working but it's waaay to slow, please how to revert back?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] phreakenstein:
Just the way you formatted to F2FS. Except this time, select EXT4.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vbvn:
Thnx for the guide [MENTION=5543440]ippatt[/MENTION]

Tip:-

no need to install additional theme. after copying file to sbin, just use "reload theme" option and F2FS option becomes visible...

OP may be updated with this tip.. thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ippatt:
Thank's [MENTION=6274300]vbvn[/MENTION],will be updated soon... :thumbup:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
So I just have to do this for /cache and /data, and that will wipe data and cache, right ? Or will that wipe external / internal SD card as well?

I can just backup my data using titanium and do this procedure and just restore the data ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] card-us:
i think ijust had an bootloop after formating to f2fs, how to fix it?? :(

Edit: just fixed, i had to pull out my baterry twice & now boot perfectly & FAST....:))

Edit Again: seem to be if i flash exposed framework from twrp it ended up bootlop at reboot system, gues exposed hasn't fully support of f2fs or maybe there is something wrong with my phone, mcurrently my phone work fastly after flash CM12.1 R18+GAPPS+SuperSU 2.46

Nice tuts. F2FS menu comes out after I copied the mkfs using the TWRP Recovery's File Manager. The only problem is, why did I get the log "E:Unable to mount /cache" after formatting the /cache into F2FS? This happens with the /data too. "E:Unable to mount /data". What went wrong? :S

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Iceman:
Hi ippatt,

Can we format system choosing f2fs as well. it save or any disadvantage?? Thanks in advance:D
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] KopiJahe:
I've repacked the latest official TWRP (v2.8.7.0), with mkfs.f2fs for simplicity sake. You can download it if you like:

https://goo.gl/cNndzb

There's no entry to mount the system partition with f2fs, so if you format it with f2fs, you won't be able to boot it.

Format /data (including /data/media, your internal memory)

Change /data and /cache filesystem to F2FS.

You're done.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] as9333:
Hi XDA

Is there a flashable zip to convert the filesystem to f2fs ? Because I want to change the filesystem of /data of SECONDARY ROM on multirom mod

As there is only normal wipe option on TWRP multirom tab

Is there any other ways ?

Did you do a nandroid backup and then formatted to f2fs and restored /data?

??????
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ataralgin2:
Yes.

HM1SW CM12.1 R19
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] aldirudianto:
I guess that's the problem, i think we should format the /data and do a restoration with TB instead nandroid
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ataralgin2:
I think so, but you cannot boot system with empty data... Copy inside TWRP is a way, but TWRP's file manager don't copy folders ( or I don't know how)

So ADB is a way, but till now, I was able to manage all issues from within mobile... ;)

HM1SW CM12.1 R19
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] aldirudianto:
You mean to copy all the /data to somewhere in sdcard, do the f2fs format, and copy the data file back from sdcard to /data? I guess we can use aroma file manager if u used themed twrp
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ataralgin2:
Yes, that way.

Thanks for info about another filemanager, somewhere in the future will give f2fs next try. ;)

I've been trying to root this device for a few days now.

The device is running Android 4.2.2 JellyBean.

Tried using One Click Root on it, and it downloads ADB drivers, but never connects.

I know the old ZX1 was able to obtain root, but have had no luck so far with this one.

Thanks in advance.

Just reporting back, I've tried Framaroot, Towelroot, Kingroot APKs with no luck, and One Click Root, and various other One Click solutions for the old NW-ZX1 and other Xperia devices, and all have failed.

While i was researching about the volume problem,

I found on the Sony Japanese website the firmware update of 1.01 as an exe or dmg, since it is not the original firmware only an update, i doubt it could be used or even could be helpful.

I am not posting any links here to avoid confusion, but anyone who might think that this could be of any help for him to find a solution and is knowledgeable enough to be playing around this area without bricking his device or at least willing to take the risk and responsibility, he could pm me for the link.

i will post it also on xda may be someone could help.

also, i don't want to give any false hope, so don't raise em up.

Also, discovered http://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/Audio/NW-ZX2.html today: unfamiliar with ROM development, would this content provide all that's necessary to build a ROM or is it missing things like hardware drivers?

Hi I just wanted to let everyone know that I managed to unlock the bootloader on my xperia xz 2 using the old adb command prompts when you get your unlock code from the Sony developer website but still struggling to root it. I've heard magisk is 1 method but you'd need to find and download your phones original bootloader image file and patch it I think then flash it. Then back to your pc and install the file magisk downloaded to your magisk manager folder in your phones memory using a adb command prompt

This is the last batch of builds for porting. I won't do that anymore.

- many fixes in code;

- cleaned up the source code;

- reset battery stats option;

- wipe all - preflash option;

- removed nvram backup/restore because it can corrupt the bootloader;

-full track of changes here.

Instructions:

1) Flash using SP Flash Tools: Download the scatter file attached to this post and also the recovery from the download link or from below.

Open up SPFT and load the scatter file you just downloaded.

Locate your recovery.img and make sure that recovery is the only thing checked.

Click on the download button and then connect your phone with the battery either in or out. Depends on you. :p

After flashing is complete, reboot and enjoy CTR v3.3 :laugh:

2) Flash using Flashify: Download flashify from the play store or get the apk online and install it.

Download the recovery.img and place in on your internal or external sdcard.

Open up flashify and choose recovery and flash the recovery.

3) Flash using mobile uncle tools: Follow the same instructions as flashing using flashify.

Remove Asus apps from Data:

Note: This is if you are coming from stock and have updated your apps.

If you clean flash (wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik) then you do not need this. This is if you're coming from stock and don't want to wipe everything out (keep your apps that you downloaded, etc). I still suggest a full, clean wipe.

Upon updating from the Play Store, the Asus apps are in /data/app, so just flashing SuperZen does not get rid of them.

This flashable zip will remove the same Asus apps from /data/app that are removed in the main ROM. This will not remove anything from system. It only cleans the data portion. *This does not remove Kindle, since people might actually use that.

Good catch, thanks. I had a typo in the splashscreen flash location.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MatteXperiaU:
i don't understand what is SVN..

another question: someone had tried this rom on ZE550ML with dpi Edit? it is working?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Please do not ask about SVN in this thread.

Please google "SVN"

Or search "SVN xda" and you will get a fantastic guide.

If you're using Windows, I suggest TortoiseSVN. Other than that, you're on your own.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but this information is easily found. This is meant to be a development thread, not a Q&A.

It's a means of allowing people to update when and what they want in the build without having to download the whole thing each time. They can just sync and pull only updates, then export and build the zip locally. This saves on bandwidth and time.

--------------------------

As far as the 550 information, I'm going to try and see if I can get SVN setup for both 551 and 550. Then use a script to modify things after exporting. This way people can have either. I need to really dig into the differences, but I don't suspect that much is changed since people have been able to use this with only editing the dpi.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MatteXperiaU:
thank you for reply and sorry for the question in wrong thread.

i think 550 is very similar to 551, and ota update confirm that..they are always identical. thank you for your work :fingers-crossed:

Added PCLink flashable zip to the second post.

I actually use this one (as I do software testing, plus I do work on mobile, so this is handy). So I figured I'd share it back with people that want to use it.

I might look into some flashable zip that contains most/all of the ASUS apps, but you can choose what you want. Need to do some research on how to make that work. Maybe Aroma? I've never worked with that before, so I'll need to investigate.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gh0st-:
About this, I was using the initiial ROM release v1.1.1, is it still wrong? Prior to actually asking the question I initially had, I did try flashing the v1.1.2 if i recall it correctly and i ended up with a boot loop.

Again, do let me know if asking about it is wrong on this thread.
