Chad I've submitted my bid to now and forever partake / be an honorary member of CFA (Crack Flasher's Anonymous). I have an illness and a serious addiction.

I really enjoy these nightly builds. I hope this is more of a permanent thing. It's really fun to be able to flash something new everyday.

I love flogging Japanese women and crack flashing your builds. Please help me abstain from withdrawals for at least one of my addictions.

Try using the hotword apk from this post linked below, I normally have to use this on a few roms to get it working properly. Just push it into /system/priv-app/HotwordEnrollment (you could rename your existing one with .bak extension first). Check permissions, should be 0644 or rw,r,r and wipe its data in settings, then reboot. I've used this on 7.0 and 7.1 roms with and without google assistant, hotword on any screen and while screen off with smartlock.

Thanks. I already tried this and also changed velvet.apk as statet in Google Assistant thread. Wiping data of Google app and several other things. Had no luck. Somehow uber builds do resist to work with google assistant :)...

I tried searching this thread but I didn't find anything. When flashing uberstock and then trying to go back into recovery, I get the dead android. I can go back to the bootloader and then reflash twrp. I can then boot directly to twrp. Once I boot up the rom again and try to go to recovery, I get the dead android.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Anyone running f2fs?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Unfortunately I don't think f2fs is possible on the Nexus 6p.

I used to run it on my Nexus 5 all the time, and I loved it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
It is possible. We have a modified twrp, about two kernels with f2fs support and one Rom (jccap cm13.1).

We need more.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Oh really? From what I understand our system partition is too small. Something must have changed.

F2fs is possible on every single partition of our phone? I heard it isn't.

I was reading a few articles, that modern exfat and f2fs has very little disparity when it comes to Speed and Performance. So from what I understand, there is negligible benefit of switching to f2fs this day and age.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Thats correct. The system can't be changed or something, but data and cache can.

As for it being negligible, thats a myth. It's very much noticeable. Especially transfer speeds. Furthermore, XDA just did an entire article on the OnePlus 3 vs OnePlus 3T. The OnePlus 3T is not faster because of the over clocked 821, but because its file system is F2FS. Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/clea...-and-op3t-storage-speed-differences-and-f2fs/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
That's very interesting. I actually learned how to convert my nexus 5 to f2fs by Chet Kener from Uber team lol.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here. With only data and cache being able to be converted to f2fs, does that really increase speeds considerably? From what I understand it's important for system to be f2fs also.

Also, I'm just throwing this out there, but on my Nexus 5, with f2fs, my data and system partition used to become corrupt and randomly I would lose all my data, and it was unrecoverable. I hope it has improved from two or three years ago.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Thats the reason I asked about f2fs. I want to try it out for myself. I'm not interested in hearsay.

I too had a OnePlus One on f2fs back in the day lol.

Never lost my data though. It really wouldn't matter if I did with my 6P though. I have to format the phone to change the file system anyway.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Well luckily reformatting to f2fs is really easy. All we have to do is just copy over the DCIM folder, TWRP backup folder, music files, and anything else that we wanted bump over, to PC. Convert to f2fs, and then simply move all the files back, voila. Do you have a link to that modified TWRP to convert to f2fs?

From my understanding, the ROM should already be good to go. It's the kernel that has to have f2fs capability.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Modified TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4_NvTjxRtXmVi1FS1NBMWpiM1E/view?usp=drivesdk

And really? This Rom is f2fs ready? There is a kernel thats f2fs ready as well. The Winxkernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
No nougat has f2fs/ext4 dynamic support. Not that i'm aware of at least. I'm still trying to forward port older changes that allowed that.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Dammmmnnnn.. That sucks. Eh.

In the future maybe.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
Maybe future will be sooner than it appear.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
Why do you think system cannot be formatted as f2fs?

Ext4 has faster read speeds, maybe the reason not to use on system..

My htc pyramid is formatted in f2fs on data, I can format cache to f2fs too but no point but that is only about 120mb in size.

Fstab can be configure to read both ext4 and f2fs, which is a good thing.

I did some tests myself on my pyramid, different devices will act differently but I wrote multiple swap images to each and ext4 was marginally faster.

I use f2fs because fstrim is borked on pyramid with 3.4 kernel so it's beneficial.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ulver:
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
Did you flash SuperSU? I never had this problem, but I always root.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ulver:
I did not. I'll have to try it with SuperSU. I didn't think I would have to as PN comes unrooted and I don't lose recovery with that ROM.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AlbertoPoncato:
I have not read all the thread but i want to try the rom, it's based on 7 or 7.1.1? What vendor i have to use and what gapps?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
Well then read the thread.

You have to use November vendor and 7.1 GApps. The Rom is based on 7.1.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
As of now, my data partition is on F2FS. The system partition can be flashed to F2FS, but when I flashed the ROM it converted it back to Ext4.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
There's no real info about the rom on the OP + there's over 3000 post in this thread. Asking him to read the whole thread is kind of impossible. Though i agree that he could have searched a little more.

Hey guys, quick question.. what's a good build to flash? 30-11? Or latest maybe..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
The newest 12/2 build, hands down. It appears to be fully clanged (3.9.1) and fully linarosized with Uber TC 6. something.

It's running absolutely Flawless on a dirty Flash.

Oddly enough the 12/1 build does not appear to have all this.

I can't speak for any older builds, because I wasn't paying attention.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cutmylifein2:
Better than 30/11??

And Which kernel are u using.. ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Yes, better than 11/30. Currently using R4 6.0.

I'm about to dirty flash 12/3.

Chad is my Cialis. He's giving me huge mahogany with these builds, lmao.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
New builds have support for f2fs, though i don't want to tell you how to enable it. If you want that, you'll search for some info. Also, don't complain it doesnt work if you format your data partition to f2fs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
12/3? Or, starting from tomorrow?

And could you kindly tell me which partitions I can convert F2fs? All, or just data and cache? That's all I'd like to know.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
Just format data to f2fs, no point with cache. Make sure to backup your storage first, give feedback if you notice a difference or not. Some read and write tests would be good, test ext4 first before formatting and testing f2fs.

Edit: Here's the app that was used in the op3/t test review.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromeda.androbench2
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Why isn't cache worth it? I would think it would be.

12/3 build? Or starting from tomorrow?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tibere86:
The cache partition in the Nexus 6P is too small to be converted to F2FS. You can try, but TWRP will return an error :p
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
I thought that was system... not cache. Are you sure?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
System partition is plenty large, it's cache.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
So that means system and data can be converted. Which partition benefits opening up apps a little bit faster?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
Do system and enjoy not booting:)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Anyone else getting disappearing 'downloads' folder in internal storage on the 12/2 'build? The data is all there, but it's hidden from all file explorers. I did the Dev Options > USB Config > switch to 'Charging' then back to 'Media Protocol' trick. It works on initial bootup, then quickly the problem reemerges the moment I access ANY file explorer. I managed to move some files back to 'Internal storage', and will try flashing 12/3 to see if it fixes the issue.

Just want to see if anyone else having the issue to determine if it's the 12/2 build, or if my phone is somehow schlonged.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] New Rising:
No video playback for me on the 12-3 build.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Clean flash, dirty flash? What kernel are you using?

No issues from me, but I'm ridin' dirty.

EDIT : Disregard, Fixed.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Interesting.

Ext4

F2FS
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Could you provide a little bit more insight on this bro?

-This is definitely real world results from your Nexus 6p?

-This is definitely just from converting only the data partition?

-Those numbers seem very very negligible. ><

Highly suspected these numbers, but the issue of stipulation was that apps open up a little bit faster on f2fs.

Is this something that you're noticing? Your honest input is definitely welcome.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Not sure what you mean by "real world results". It was done on Androbench.

It was done only converting the data partition.

The numbers are very eligible.

As for testing, i formatted the device each time I changed the file system.

The only thing I installed was the rom, and gapps. That's it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Erm... unless I'm reading those two screenshots wrong, those numbers are extremely close. In some cases ext4 actually beats out the f2fs. Is there something I'm just not seeing?

Have you tested this out yourself? Do apps actually open up noticeably faster?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Is internal storage completely wipe If we format data to f2fs ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
F2FS file transfer speeds are faster.

Touch responsiveness is faster.

Apps open slightly faster.

Scrolling smoother (possible placebo).

And yes, the numbers are extremely close. Very negligible.

I would like to see more Android N roms with F2FS to test.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
The results are very close, do you still have /data formatted in f2fs? If so, can you post outcome of terminal using code below.

mount | grep /data

Edit: Terminal Emulator App > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
I'm sorry but with numbers that close, I have a hard time believing there's any noticeable difference.

I would love to see a YouTube video with someone testing it on our device.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
I think you're saying that because you don't want to backup all your data and try it. It's a noticeable difference.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Hey guys, why is this being caused? I've been seeing this every since I've changed the file system to f2fs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
There ya go, and its the answer that I always have been given, have given. It will speed up your read and write speed usually, but other than that it is placebo and negligible, people put on their tin foil hats and think that f2fs is the end all for all devices and its just not the case lol.

Same with people that state being non encrypted speeds up their ever day use.

Edit: for what I know some devices do preform better than others with f2fs, though I never looked too much into myself, I believe that Samsung devices preform well ? Then again if I'm not mistaken they are the only devices to run f2fs natively? This all might be some lie I'm making up, but I could have swore I heard it somewhere.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
Actually, removing encryption on this device does free up resources, read dmesg;)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Outdated vendor ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Actually, the OnePlus 3T runs it natively. Furthermore, F2FS is why the 3T outperforms the regular OnePlus 3. Not because it's overclocked. And guess what, it has the same negligible score differences the 6P has.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
what gapps do you flash ? google play service keep FC in 0312 build. Btw mine is f2fs to and like you said seems a little bit faster :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Opengapps (Micro). Definitely seems faster lol.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Bryanx86:
Only time ive ever seen this is when I've flashed the wrong vendor. Did you flash vendor img after formatting?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Flashing the vendor took care of it. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
do you use stock kernel ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Indeed.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
do you mind to explain step by step to flash the rom ?

i clean flashed, flash open micro then flash supersu sr5 and result is bootlop
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OmegaBlaze:
Format data> type "yes."

Wipe> advanced wipe > select data > repair or change file system

Transfer rom, gapps. Flash rom, gapps (SuperSU too)

Done.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Okay fair enough. I will try it tonight. It's unfair of me to open my mouth without trying it first.

Admittedly that is thr reason lol. I'm lazy as f***. Even with USB C, and nougat having JIT ( not having to wait a half-hour for all the apps to 'compile'), it still takes way too long to transfer files and set everything up again even with TWRP backup. 1-800-cry-more
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Already tried but bootloop and i flash flash kernel,booting but google play service keep FC, i cant login to my account. All in latest rom 0312
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Do you and Chad know what the polyvect 11/29 build is exactly? That piqued my interest a little.

Also there's several 'faster Angler' kernels. Do these differ significantly from your recent rebases?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pollie81:
I got the same issue, i can't get past setup wizard. I keeps showing an Google app/services fc. I tried sd25 gapps from download link and i tried open gapps pico 7.1.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
Some test i did by using polly algorithm for vectorization instead of stripmine. Not a significant change. And faster is my own kernel so yeah, it is really different from Matthew's kernel.

On another note, don't expect formatting your partition to F2FS will make a huge difference. It usually has slightly better write speed than ext4, but reading speed are very similar.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
The issue still present ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pollie81:
For me; yes. I don't know how to solve it..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
What date GApps are you using? I clean flashed with 3rd Dec Open Gapps Aroma, and I do not have the issue.

Previously when this issue was seen, using 6th Nov Gapps solved the issue for most of the users.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Micro and pico 3rd dec open gaapps. Will try it with aroma gaaps. Btw where i can find 6th nov gapps ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
On Open GApps page, scroll down, you will see Older Versions.

Or Just click https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/releases/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pollie81:
i got it working, not sure what did the trick though.

what i flashed different this time: i flashed faster angler kernel and i flashed open gapps nano (3/12)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tikizondo94:
I'm in the same boat. I still can't get my install past the google play services force close in setup. I've tried every opengapps, and dynamic sdk25. What was your cure???
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
No trickery needed. Please see my post on previous page.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
How ? Flashed aroma Gapps problem still there
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
Try R4 kernel after ROM to see if that helps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
Does Kylo R5 for 7.1 have the unlocked bootloader hide patch?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tikizondo94:
Still same issue. Google play service FC in setup. Full format. Format data/f2fs, flash ROM, open Gapps or dynamic. Tried with or with SuperSU. No change. Any ideas??
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Iam out of the problem and keep it working. The problem maybe is android system webview. I flash aroma open gaaps include android system webview and no FC again
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ulver:
Samsies. I get the Google Services force close as well. I used 12/3 nano Gapps too. No dice. I tried the other suggestion with Flash Kernel, still a no go.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
The issue is webview, just install with aroma gapps
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
What about bumping over a TWRP back up on to a fresh formatted f2fs phone? On Nexus 5 I was able to do that every single time.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

Indian my man I need your help. You're running the newest build on f2fs correct? All Hyperbole and placebo aside, is it actually noticeably faster?

Once I cross that line, it's going to be difficult to flash other custom roms. I don't want to cross that threshold just simply due to massive hyperbole ><.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
No dude. I'm on ext4. But given my experience on OnePlus One, f2fs is a placebo. And I believe Alex mentioned few pages back, the benchmark difference posted by a user was probably due to being unencrypted.

I would suggest you to remain on ext4.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tikizondo94:
Tried 7.1 11.5 aroma and 7.1 12.3 aroma gapps. still results in a FC google play services in setup. Im at a loss lol. Sorry to be a pain.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Beachbum2049:
EDIT:

The following worked:

1. Format data (ext4), factory reset, wipe system.

2. Reboot recovery

3. Flash Uber & aroma gapps

4. Do NOT do custom installation, select Super & let it roll

5. Profit

Same here.

My process has been: Format data (ext4), factory reset & system wipe.

Flash Uber (Dec 3), gapps aroma, exclude install (exclude a few keyboard input languages, gmail and messenger, no other changes).

Play services force close.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
You need to install webview from the gapps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tikizondo94:
Still getting FC with super aroma setting. I wonder if its because of the f2fs on data? Should i just try ext4?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Have you tried simply moving over your pre f2fs last TWRP backup back onto your internal storage after reformatting? Try restoring that - see if it works, you'll save yourself a lot of time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tikizondo94:
I dont have any working backups with this rom. EXT4 and F2fs both google play service FC at setup

Yay hope with oms baked and another 1205 build ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
So current 5/12 build is not 7.1.1? I haven't flashed it yet. I'm still on 3/12
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Idk, maybe still 7.1 because 7.1.1 source code just out this day
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
Ohh. Correct. Today is 6th. Me silly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Is 7.1.1 really superior though?

Fundamentally, I'm not so sure there is a whole lot of difference between AOSP NDE63X.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] indian84:
Probably not. But official blobs and drivers can make a difference.

On 7.1 builds, I occasionally have delayed fingerprint sensor response and camera sometimes does not click/ save pic. But it is totally random. I am not even sure if it's related to 7.1/7.1.1 or it's just my setup that is having issues.

I will be performing a super clean (using factory images) flash when 7.1.1 Uber drops and see if that helps. I last clean flashed when this ROM went from 7.0 to 7.1.
