Is there any reason that F2FS conversion wouldn't work with a combination of the latest PN (20170121) with Faster Angler kernel (R51)?

I've followed the steps in the Flash's guide found in his custom TWRP (3.0.3-1) thread about 5 different times yesterday and could not get F2FS to stick no matter what I did. Every time that I attempted to convert, the OS would not boot and I was stuck at the boot animation so I booted back into TWRP and the filesystem was reverted back to EXT4 every single time though cache remains as F2FS.

I have even tried formatting userdata and cache prior changing the filesystem but the result is always the same with data reverting back to EXT4 and cache remaining as F2FS.

I'm also planning to post in the Flash's TWRP thread and the PN thread because I can't find any more info on this specific issue.

Thanks to anyone who responds! :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xSilas43:
Does PN support f2fs? It needs the proper fstab, also maybe SuperSU is the problem, it bootlooped me on f2fs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
I'm not actually sure! But I've seen people report success with it so I thought that I'd give it a go. And I'm not actually using supersu.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
SuperSU works great. Make sure it's beta SR3.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xSilas43:
Well it should stick after formatting data to f2fs and wipe your internal storage, strange it wouldn't. I've been using nitrogen ROM with faster kernel on f2fs for quite some time now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
That's cool! I was on Nitrogen for a while before PN was upgraded to 7.1.1. Maybe it's just the combo that's the problem. I've been watching a few Roms that are F2FS ready but haven't really wanted to switch from the greatness that is PureNexus.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pollie81:
I don't want to hijack this topic but I'm having the exact same issue. It's literally driving me crazy..

I didn't try latest sr3 supersu though, can give it a shot..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
I don't see any reason that would make a difference but if you're going to try it, let me know if it works! I'd be excited to figure this out! :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
What i did to get F2FS was :

Reboot to recovery

Flash ROM

reboot to recovery

format data to f2fs

format cache to f2fs

reboot to recovery

flash supersu

reboot into rom
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xSilas43:
Chads method should work, if not here's what I did.

1. Make a nandroid backup

2.Backup the twrp folder on your PC

3.rename the data.ext4.win & cache.ex4.win to data.f2fs.win & cache.f2fs.win

4. Boot your phone into twrp and wipe everything including internal storage

5. Change data and cache to f2fs

6. Put the twrp backup on your phone and restore your functioning backup into f2fs flawlessly.

6B. Instead of restore the twrp backup, do a regular clean flash of rom + extras.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pollie81:
thanks both guys, i got it working!

turns out the rom i used wasn't compatible, strange thing because 2 days a go i had f2fs working properly.

after several unsuccesfull atempts it stil wasn't working, i either came in a bootloop or it booted and restored the data partition automatically back to ext4.

then i downloaded chad's latest uberstock rom and voila.. i worked immediately!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
I think I might try out your ROM so I know for sure whether or not PN was causing my issue. Are there any extra features or settings you've included?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] iron maiden:
Hello with kernel faster? what rom? And the twrp I have seen two versions in f2fs many thanks

regards
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rakkkar:
I am not sure, if anybody else has noticed but I've been having the issue that on every reboot my date and time are off and then fix themselves as soon as I am connected to the internet. As a result both are off in TWRP every time I boot into it too. I just saw the Flash supposedly having fixed it in his kernel so you may wanna check out the commit.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spuri78:
Do these steps apply to uber rom or nitro? pardon my ignorance but I don't understand your 6 and 6b. Once you restore the backup, don't reboot and do a clean flash (wipe dalvik/data etc)?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Tried the latest build and the latest kernel but it was extremely laggy. Anyone else had this experience or its just me
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xSilas43:
6b is a divergent optional step.

If you want to use your backup follow to 6, if you want to do a clean flash, do 6B instead of 6.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kakabobo:
any link to the latest kernel build? rom?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
I've seen and experienced the same on the 1-25-17 build. People recommend to use the 24th or earlier. Haven't tried the 26th build yet. Which one are you on?

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Had to switch to another rom waiting for the rom to stabilize, on 24th its better but a very bad fingerprint lag
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xSilas43:
Turning animations off should fix your fingerprint lag.

Also have you tried the reposted r53 from today? Seems smoother for me
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
CAn someone tell me if the fingerprint problem also occur on another kernel ?

Also, tried latest build, can someone also tell me if it's better with another kernel or just as much jittery ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] seabro01:
Anyone else have issue with not going to deep sleep on 24th build and r53 kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xSilas43:
Its fixed for me on r53 from today.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spuri78:
what about kernel? I thought for f2fs to work, a f2fs compatible kernel would also be needed to flashed before the reboot into rom bit?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
My rom has my kernel
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
The fingerprint lag can also be caused by not having a properly updated SuperSU. I use beta SR3, and my fingerprint is blink of an eye, blazing fast.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Infact I'm not using SuperSu I'm running the Rom unrooted..... Can That be the reason...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Iam running with a lag everywhere, latest build 2601
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Thought I was the one doing something wrong
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pollie81:
i searched but couldn't find the answer.

Are all roms and kernels in here f2fs compatible or only your "private" builds?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spedyx7:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NoobInToto:
Noob question: If I flash your ROM, I needn't flash the kernel zip right( named faster) , right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
I though faster kernel has included in the rom
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NoobInToto:
That is what I wanna confirm. Is it correct?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Yep. Try SR3.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I recommend flash kernel and here is the link to Uber rom and kernel. https://temp.bbqdroid.org
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spedyx7:
Is it f2fs compatible, because my cache and data are f2fs. Or do i have to revert back to ext4 ? Thanks :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
Yes it is f2fs compatible as I am using it and currently running with data and cache also on f2fs.

What is your battery life with the flash kernel. And do you use any govorner profile or just what Nathan has ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I get around 6hours sot and I use drunkensauce over clocked governor profile.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spedyx7:
Thanks man :D one last question. Do you use any other option in Ex manager or just over clocked stock ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I use open gaaps because dynamic gaaps don't work with this rom. Sorry for the late response, I was looking after my ill 2 year old hamster. I was just making sure he was happy and had eaten and all. Open gaaps is all that works for me on uber.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spedyx7:
Thanks :)) Hope he gets better :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
He probably won't as hamsters live for around 2 years but thanks anyway. I appreciate it. Hopefully the rom flashing goes well for you.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Capo99:
I see a lot of lag in the 30/01/17 build. Can someone confirm it? F2fs and flash kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
Uber rom or kernel? I use uber rom 30th build and flash kernel with no problem. Where do you experience the lag? What apps?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] i42o:
+1

no lag or any issues with todays build.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
F2fs? If so crazy talk. I've never seen speed like this.

Make sure you're using SuperSU sr3 beta. This will affect your speed as well.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Raiden350:
Hi, i'm sorry but can someone tell me more about f2fs ?

How can I use it ?

Is it really faster ?

Does it wipe everything at the installation ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
F2fs increases io performance which means your phone generally works faster. Apps will open faster and run smoother and it is 100% worth switching to f2fs. You need the flash modified twrp as official twrp doesn't support f2fs. You should change the data and cache to f2fs. Changing data wipes data And internal storage so move all important files to an external storage device. To change to it flash his twrp and go to wipe, advanced wipe, check data and tap change file system and choose f2fs. Do the same for cache. When recording a nandroid backup on f2fs make sure you go settings and tick use - r instead of formatting and then select restore and choose your backup. Then choose options and enable md5 verification and from there restore your nandroid backup and that's it. Pretty simple once you got it down and it is a one time thing so you don't need to repeat after flashing new roms and updates. Make sure you don't change system as there is basically no point and you would have to keep changing the file system and wiping after every update and rom flash. Hope this helps, good luck. :)

Can anyone tell me what they did to get good battery life. I started this morning with 93℅. All I've been doing I'd reading this comic online and I'm already down to 59℅. The drain is insane and I don't know why.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Interesting stats you have there. The EXKM app shows 3hrs 15 minutes of SOT over almost 12 hours of up time, which is actually pretty good, while the other shows 1.5 hours of SOT. I've read that chrome is a pretty good battery hog, but still don't understand the drastic difference between your SOT readings. Any other info you can provide?

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Raiden350:
Wow, sounds amazing ! The gain is really noticeable ? And this is totally safe ? Every roms or kernel or apps are compatible ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] king_david43:
I don't know why the EXKM time is wrong but I charged to 100℅ last night and why to sleep with it if the charger. I woke up to it at 93℅ and since then I was reading a comic online using chrome and that was all and it dropped as much as it did in that hour. I don't think I'd should be draining so quickly since I haven't been doing anything that intensive.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Does faster kernel has swipe to wake feature included? I tried once but it was not there.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The difference is EXKM keeps totalling screen time since boot, the system one show screen time since 100% charge.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
You should notice the gain bit it does depend on rom and kernel obviously. I can't tell you what roms and kernels are compatible but you can tell me what you plan on using and I'll try to help you that way. Pure nexus, resurrection remix, dirty unicorns, Uber and so many more roms are compatible and many Kernels are compatible such as flash, faster and elite kernel. This is completely safe too. I have not noticed a problem.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Raiden350:
Thanks for your answers ! I'll try Uber + faster kernel i think :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I'd use flash kernel with uber rom personally:)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] king_david43:
Well I'm trying the update posted earlier and so far it seems battery drain may be more normal. I'll have to see after a few days
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
All I see is DT2W on R62. Don't think Chad includes it in his builds.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Ain't they both by Chad? The temp website is Chad's personal builds and the drive is official releases.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Raiden350:
Why ? I read on this thread that Faster is extremely...fast ! That is what i'm looking for
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
No, the drive is mine
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Ah ok. My mistake. How you liking your pixel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
It is amazing, I love it. We have schedutil backported from 4.9 now, thanks to Google:)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Battery is already good enough ain't it :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
Last night was getting 1 hour SOT for 10%
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] p70shooter:
Sounds like what I was getting when the 6p was first released, running your kernel. No where near it now, although it's starting to get better again but still no where near pixel status.

Edit. When I say I was getting that, I mean for the first few 10%s, not for everyone lol
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
Just switched over to Chad's Uber from PN and it's really not missing anything. Has all the pixel modifications and etc. Finally found a ROM compatible F2FS worth switching over to; this one seems great so far.

I totally forgot how nice it is to just let the system animations play out since PN cuts them in half by default.

First day on Uber with F2FS looks very promising. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I don't know really. I was told to use flash kernel by someone and at the time there was a bug that didn't let the device go into deep sleep which wasted battery.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Can someone please tell me which kernel to use with Chad's uber. Faster angler or flash kernel. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

Same setup as me brother. Glad you're enjoying it. I really hope the power off option gets fixed in the future. Which kernel do you use. I use flash kernel but have heard from multiple people it might be worth using faster angler kernel by that same guy. Please let me know. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
I was already using faster angler when I was on PN so it's also what I'm using now on Uber (since it's built into Chad's version anyway). I love faster angler, never felt the need to change governor profiles or anything.

There are some differences in features between the two kernels though so that could be a deciding factor for you. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
Would you say battery and performance is better in faster or flash? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
There might be a slight edge in performance for Faster but idk how noticable it really is. It's probably mostly negligible on default settings.

As far as battery, it's obviously just gonna depend on your usage. I'm a heavy user in that most of my SoT is spent watching YouTube so my battery is almost always ****. But you're usage may differ and I would day that, again, Faster might be just slightly better here, but the difference is barely noticable.

Features should be the biggest deciding factor for choosing between these two kernels, because performance and battery life numbers won't be much different.

I'm having weird wake lock ActivityManager-Sleep

Keeping my phone from sleep ...Using the same apps as before .

Possible apps are not compatible with F2FS?

Uber 4th Feb with flash/faster both have this wake lock ...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I just tried faster angler but it broke some of my apps and viper4arise won't work with it for me or dolby atmos.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rakkkar:
I am experiencing the same thing but on the Jan 23rd build with flash kernel. I've never had that issue before but I still get decent battery life, at least screen on time is alright. Not sure if it could be f2fs though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] i42o:
So I see on the February 4th build that OMS has been implemented yet when built and enabled system ui restarts but the theme itself does not stick in any apps or in system. Battery life on this ROM has been consistent I average 4/5 sometimes even 6 SOT . [MENTION=1986924]chadouming[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Raiden350:
So I tried to use F2FS, it didn't work at all and i had a bootloop.

Then, i went back to EXF4 and flashed Uber rom + gapps but it was very very laggy and Gapps didn't work.

Well, i think i will go back to PureNexus...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
Yeah, I'm experiencing the same w

Thing with viper. Even the built in Deuteronomy FX like Arkamys and ICE don't seem to work. I'll try reinstalling BusyBox and see if that works.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Chad can you include swipe to wake feature?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
You're doing something wrong bro. F2fs on this rom is a thing of beauty, and seeing is believing.

Could you relay your steps to installing/flashing? This is surely the cause.

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

If you guys aren't using newest SuperSU beta sr3, that might be your problem. please make sure to flash that.

I have viper for arise and all apps working perfectly on faster kernel r63.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyle_el:
I'm using that as well. Gonna check kernel updates and see if anything new is going on.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chadouming:
It will take a while for the next build to be up.

First I'm rebasing my kernel as I feel I've strayed away from the basic I wanted. It's already clean and buildable, but need the special love to make it shine again. After that is done, I will rebase the whole rom for the new nougat release. I will try to get rid of the annoying stutter while doing so. I will also keep the tree clean, while not affecting the functionality. I am also currently thinking about a way to implement delta updates cleanly. I'll ask some help around to my friends when I get to that part, though I already have a good idea of what needs to be done. Daily build like i do right now will be back as soon as I am done with the rom rebase though. Finally, I will build daily for other devices too, cause i feel like they are being left out.
