An f2fs question

Down!grading my Nexus7 2012 Since last OTA it became way too sluggish and a battery monster.

Maybe going to f2fs but not sure quite what I'll be getting.

It's not very clear what a converted ROM will normally have converted, is all file access F2FS or is System partition access left EXT-4.

I've seen "All-F2FS" in a few places, does this indicate all file access is F2FS?

It would be useful to know as before flashing you have to re-format partitions which need F2FS

Elsewhere on XDA I've seen:

The kernels in ROMs with F2FS support, and those made with a converter, mostly support only data partition to be F2FS.

You can add a modified Kernel that support F2FS for data, system and cache. (but I can only find Nexus 5 Modified Kernels).

(From developer of windows script conversion tool) "I have atm stopped development for this Tool as im back on ext4.

Reason for reverting back is its not really helpful on the system partition in my view.since system is a read only partiton. If you format /data into F2FS you'll be at the same performance level as with the System one".

I've not been able to ask what he means as (at the moment) I'm not allowed posts in the developer forums. System is not written to and f2fs has no speed benefit on read only?

? I need a modified ROM only for All-f2fs. If I have stock lollipop on my N4 and have f2fs compatible kernel and recovery, can I simply convert my data and cache partitions to f2fs

A: Yes that should work.

A: I would think you would have to edit your ROM’s fstab to show the partitions as F2FS

If you're wondering what the Convert to F2FS app does... I do know that it injects the Lego Kernel with all-F2FS support into the ROM. I'm not really sure what else is going on.

The Lego Kernel is what allows the device to use the F2FS file system.

? ROM type, f2fs / f2fs-all / any with f2fs kernel

? if just kernel: ? f2fs / f2fs all

? Does anyone have, or know of, a good explanation??

Thanks,

Dear all,

I am considering going back to Android via a tablet but there are a few iOS that I really need and that have no replacements and no equivalents (I checked! These are mostly cooking apps).

I read about an iOS emulator, which looked too good to be true. Does it work? It would really solve my problems...

thanks!

Hi all my TV is a 1080i 50hz , the resolution settings on the fire TV box are 1080p 60hz , 1080p 50hz , 720p 60hz , 720p 50hz or auto , which should I use for my TV , massive thanks , Dave
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightykd:
I feel your pain. I'm sorry but not many Android devices support 1080i. You can do one of the following...

1) Buy a HDMI to Composite converter. They usually go around 9.99. You lose picture sharpness big time but you ensure that you can at least use the Fire TV on your TV.

2) Try to find a signal converter but the ones I spotted were nearly 100 dollars expensive and for all of that you might as well...

3) Hit up Craigslist and buy a used mid range TV.

1080i

I have an old TV that works in 1080i also. I had a few FireTV sticks and I could only get them to work at 720p. I got a FireTV2 and it works at 1080i on my TV. It looks so much better.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweracker:
Hi everyone,

Trying to root my Galaxy s6 SM-G920I India version but no luck. Had to restore stock firmware thrice today. Every time I used ODIN 3.10.6 with Unibase or Unikernal it would say kernel is not SEAndroid enforcing and stick to a bootloop. If I use the CF auto root method it says Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing and again bootloop.

Trying the alternative method of installing TWRP also does not work and I get the same recovery enforcing message and bootloop. Please help. R/L is off.

I read your blog. The thing is that I can't root the India firmware. Is the firm I'm using and I don't want to change it cause it's working really well.

But seems that is unable to root. And I want to erase some bloatware to make it lighter

Thanks anyway for your help

I also tried to root my Indian S6 5.1.1 with Unikernel but my phone got stuck on boot loop. Then i had to flash a new stock firmware. I also tried to downgrade to 5.0.1 but no luck again boot loop. Someone please help us to root S6 5.1.1. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanandroid:
the only way i was able to root was flash the g920f twrp recover then flashing the beta supersu 2.66...

but that root was not so stable so i also reflashed the stock firmware and today i have no root...

just waiting for marshmallow...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonu42197:
When you rooted your S6 G920F that time was your phone having 5.1.1 android and DOL5 bootloader.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indranuj Kar:
There is a thread on xda about how to root DOL5 formware by an INDIAN USER USING G925I.

Not all had success with it. I would suggest sticking with DOK9 firmware and wait for a few days as android 6.0.1 has started rolling already in Korea for s6(both variants)

The changes between DOK9 and DOL5 is not huge and not worth an upgrade
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonu42197:
I have rooted my s6 today only with 5.1.1 Android and DOL5 bootloader. I flashed twrp

down below is link. You will face a little bit of problem while going in recovery but dont worry you will be able to enter after some tries. When u enter there flash super su 2.66 and u have rooted your s6.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] jok3sta:
Im having problems syncing my wing with outlook 2007. I never had this problem when using outlook 2003. It would go through the whole sync process, but nothing will sync except notes. No contacts, calender or tasks. Im using active sync 4.5 . I get the support code 8007000e which says my device doesnst have enough memory to sync?? Ive never had this problem before.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
Well the herald does have a memory problem, and Ii have seen quite a few ROMS with memory leaks also, (multiple instances of phone opened for example) seems like the obvious that you should edit your pagepool to allow for more program memory if you have not done so already.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] jok3sta:
yah my pagepool is at 6 right now. I dont understand why its happening now and was fine before i installed outlook 07
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MisterSosa:
Is outlook installed on a XP machine or on a vista ?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] jok3sta:
outlook is installed on a xp machine
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MisterSosa:
my friend is running outlook 2007 on a vista pc, i have never heard him talk about this problem ...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] fultotop:
I had to run an 8mb page pool for active sync to work ok with my exchange server. Even after a soft reset it complained about memory when it was set to a 6mb page pool.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] jok3sta:
I actually found out the problem. Apparently theres a problem with activesync where you cant have notes with your appointments. Doesnt make sense but once i deleted my appointment that had a note attached it worked fine. Weird???
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] WarezAppz:
Hmm, weird. I've never had the problem and I use Office 2007 with XP, but then again I don't have any appointments with notes on them. When I get back to work (shortly) I will add a note to a calendar appointment and see if I can duplicate the problem.

**** ok, tried this. I added notes on the appointment itself and had no issues. Did you mean you 'attached' a note to the appointment? Or just added notes in the provided spots on the appointments?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastinger:
Hey,

I'm trying to make Secure Settings work but I think the app is not compatible with systemless root (if this is not true, tell me please). I went with systemless root at first because it was the latest and what everyone was talking about but, tbf, Android Pay is not even available where I live so I see no point on staying with systemless.

I'm on Cataclysm and ElementalX. What's the best way to go from systemless root to system root?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KDB223:
Sorry for reviving an old post - but same here. I flashed the latest SuperSU zip without knowing it was systemless.

I believe you can unroot usign SuperSU and then flash an earlier version of the SuperSU zip that works with Marshmallow.

[XDA Assist] MissSaab:
Hi people,

Since i found no other related topic after searching for 2 days ive've started a new one.

Since a couple of days i'm desperate to get any help!

My kid was playing on my phone a coupe of days ago (huawei g630 running android 4.3 jellybean) when suddenly he downloaded some app with a virus (not from play store)

Immediately after downloading the app my phone started to do all kinds of crazy stuff: downloading apps without my permission, changing settings, turns phone on and off..

the apps he downloaded where porn apps, anti-virus apps, games and a lot off stupid pop ups and other stuff..

The apps where not just some apps.. as soon as they were downloaded they became systemapps and i couldnt delete them..

I tried almost everything to delete those app but i keep getting the notification i can't delete systemapps..

So as i was desperate to get my phone back to normal i searched the web and found stuff about rooting for deleting systemapps and stuff and getting another firmware/rom or installing my original firmware back after deleting the root..

I rooted my phone with Kingoroot and everything went well, i could delete those stupid apps but i think i deleted something important because my phone turned off and now is stuck in bootload..

He keeps getting on and off en loads the huawei logo but that's about it..

i can get it into recovery mode and download mode but i can't download any firmware/rom

(i keep getting the notification that my phone is rooted so i can't do ota update, i tried some custom roms but i keep getting the same notification)

it says i need original huawei g630-u20 firmware but if i try with it i keep getting the same message (firmware downloaded from huawei website)

I tried everything you could try in recovery mode::

reboot system now: still not starting up

Apply updat from sd : tried several roms, nothing works

wipe data/factory reset : doesn't do anything

wipe cache partition : nope..still nothing

Apply data from ADB : Pc won't detect phone..

So think he's bricked..

I tried so many different programs via pc, tried about 15 different roms/firmwares..

Can anyone help me please?

i don't have money for another phone and really.. i'm not so good with the android/rom/root stuff at all!!

I'm sorry if i wrote some mistakes, my mother language is not english..

Thanks in advance!!

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz244:
Hi,

I just bought this device. Coming from a S3 mini, this device has an excellent reactivity and fluid interface. It's battery life is awesome too, making the day without a problem, could even last two or three if I wanted to.

Now my S3 mini had a download mode, so it was really easy to root and in case of problems i could flash stock and pretend I never rooted it or anything before sending it to the support. The only problem was that this was not the original i8190 but a more recent variant i8200 with no CM.

Now I am thinking about rooting it and flash a custom ROM but this immediately voids the warranty - which is a two years one.

So what make unlock it and was it worth it in the end?

Of course there is pros I know but even though they are important to me they are not enough. The main one is privacy. I also heard about reactivity and battery life but is it big deal with this device?

Thanks in advance bros and Happy New Year [emoji4]

Quick and dirty test of the Tronsmart 33W Dual USB Wall Charger. Amazon Link

Nice and sturdy. No complaints on the build and aesthetics here. Smaller than I thought it'd be (based off of the images on Amazon) - good thing.

Tested with a 6.6 ft. Cable Matters® USB 2.0 Type-C to Type-C cable.

Looks like we have another 3rd party wall charger option?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] a5ehren:
This is exactly what I've been waiting for, along with the matching car charger. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] swiftden:
Works really great. Charges as fast as my Huawei Type C charger. Highly recommended!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Complete opposite impression of OP as I do not recommend this charger. Charges my nexus 7 at 300 mA via the A port and charges my 6P via the C port at 2200 mA. USB C cables fall right out of the port with no force required and the components inside the charger wiggle around when you move the charger. Also quite a bit heavier and larger than the stock Huawei charger.

Tronsmart offered to send me a replacement but I have a feeling I will be getting a refund.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
It seems like you receievd a defective unit clearly. I've had the charger for a while now, and other than having it break while traveling (my fault) it worked perfectly. The charger still works, but it has a crack in it thanks to rough handling in my bag while traveling (and putting it in a non-padded pocket). The ports at all snug and it does charge up at 2.950A based on what I saw while testing it. I don't think your experience is typical, but it also doesn't make our any better to experience. I hope you get it worked out

[Nexus 6P Accessories] crucialcolin:
Looks like a great option! I wonder how this compares to the CHOETECH 39W USB C 3 port charger? I'm trying to decide between one of the two myself as I could use an extra wall charger.

http://www.amazon.com/Charger-CHOETECH-3-Port-Adapter-Detect/dp/B019Z7RVK0

Hows the heat output on the Tronsmart while charger? I heard that was an issue with an early version of CHOETECH first usb c charger.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RHChan84:
What is the size comparison to the charger that comes with the Nexus?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Interesting, thanks for the response.

How about your A port, charge any devices with that? Mine is super slow with my Nexus 7 and my buddies Galaxy S6.

Didnt see that one before. Not happy with my Tronsmart at the moment. If the replacement still has the same issues, I will be returning it and probably will give that CHOETECH a shot.

Also my Tronsmart gets quite warm to the touch (not unbearable though), can give you an exact temp once I find my infrared thermometer.

Its definitely bigger and quite a bit heavier than the stock 6P charger. I don't have my stock one with me otherwise I would take a comparison pic.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Well the Type A port puts out the rated 5V/3A if your device can charge at that rate. Most phones will only charge at 5V/2A via a type A port, so that's why it chargers them slower.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I understand that, but my N7 on the A port only charges at a max 350 amps.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
350A is a HUGE amount of power, I think you mean 350mAh. How did you check the current rate for the N7? If you used Ampere or any app then it's not accurate so you need to use an inline multimeter. . Mine outputs ~5V/2A charging my S7E and it gives my 1.5A over the Type A port using my Nexus 6P. If yours doesn't output the correct current then it's likely defective.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Lol, yes I did mean mAh. I understand the apps aren't as accurate as an actual inline meter, but I thought they at least got you in the correct ballpark?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Not necessarily, I've seen them be off as much as 1A before especially on my S7E, so I don't go by those. If it seems like it's defective then I would contact Tronsmart because they could probably give you a better answer.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crucialcolin:
It does seem like both these chargers are hit and miss. Likely resulting from poor QC. I picked up a tronsmart myself after deciding between the two. It should be arriving today. Unfortunately my 6P is due later in the week.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cliff p:
I've had my Tronsmart for a few weeks now, based on initial impressions from OP. I've had zero issues with it. Matter of fact, I replaced a multiport charger on my nightstand for this one, as all I normally charge now is my N6P and my LG Watch. Coupled with iOrange-E 2m braided cables, I have zero issues with charging the N6P. Now I keep my OEM charger at the office (just in case).

Hey everyone

SO I got a s2 classic. I was told that it was Better than having a f1tbit....

I see there are some running apps, nike+, shealth....but is there anythign where you can track ur progress over a couple of days like fitbit?

everyone is saying this is a better "fitness tracking" watch....but I have yet to be shown how?

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Gear S2] orhon:
i have both fitbit charge hr and samsung gear s2. in health tracking, fitbit is the best hands down. cannot really compare them. but i gave up using the fitbit in favor of s2, as i don't really need detailed tracking and screen is way better and informative on s2. s health doesn't offer a web interface or anything like fitbit though.
[Samsung Gear S2] simpletona70:
I used to have a Charge HR and I loved it. Always had the heart rate monitoring and battery still lasts a week. It's step count seems spot on top. This Gear S2, horrible... I will walk down isles at a store and count my steps and compare to the watch, most of the time it doesn't register a single step taken. Other times it only counts half of what I actually did. The heart rate monitor on this thing is a complete joke! It took me 8 times to get it to read my heart rate after a workout and it said I was 75bpm, my heart was still pounding!!

The only benefit this watch has over the fit bit is being able to make calls and reply to texts, which I think the fit it with the GPS can actually do.
