Hi [MENTION=2425503]Traace[/MENTION]. I've compiled a new release with f2fs enabled. I Haven't f2fs rom and I can't test it but I'm running it on my device.

Test it and report back as soon as possible. If it's all right, I'll update source and begin to officially support f2fs on my kernel.

StranoStrano_OPO_OMNI_ver.2.2.1_f2fs.zip
[ONE Android Development] Traace:
wow, that was fast :good: . I will test it ASAP, today or tomorrow I guess.

Thanks
[ONE Android Development] stranostrano:
Please, someone could report is f2fs ver works?
[ONE Android Development] mada1991:
Sorry but I have the old ext4

I cannot :(
[ONE Android Development] stranostrano:
Please [MENTION=2425503]Traace[/MENTION], I need feedback about f2fs version. Have you tried it? It's working?

Anyone else could try f2fs version and report back if it boot up.

Have fun. ...always!
[ONE Android Development] Traace:
[MENTION=862741]stranostrano[/MENTION] I tried it just now. It's working great for me :) Thanks again for the amazing work. Finally I can use SlimSaber, because S.-Sabers stock kernel is unsuitable for me.

My config is:

f2fs: cache,data

ext4: system

Edit Another request: Is there anything we can do here sir? I would like to control my own thermals so i can get use of the proper performance that the chip can deliver. In fact 70°c ~ never hurt my device in two years at all :cyclops:
[ONE Android Development] stranostrano:
[MENTION=2425503]Traace[/MENTION], thanks for your feedback.
[ONE Android Development] BarrOff:
Hello, thank you for this great kernel! Would it be possible to include the kext multirompatch? Would be quite nice. Keep on the good work! ::good:
[ONE Android Development] mada1991:
But is there a real and noticeable increase of speed with f2fs?

In every day usage?

Or some other benefits?
[ONE Android Development] stranostrano:
Hi [MENTION=6503047]BarrOff[/MENTION], I've tried to apply multirom kexec patch in the past but compilation fails. I didn't haved time to spent on fixing it and then I've abandoned.

Maybe in future I'll work on porting it again but I'm not sure.

Have fun. ..always!
[ONE Android Development] stranostrano:
Hi [MENTION=399303]mada[/MENTION],

I didn't know about because I've never used f2fs but a lot of people report an increase of performance on the device.

If you're interested, you can read a benchmark posted here.

Have fun. ...always!
[ONE Android Development] mada1991:
me too never tried....

but U've made me so curious;)

Next August as soon as I'll have time I'm gonna try...

in the meantime many thanks for your great work....

F2FS + Omnirom + Stranostrano kernel;)

[ONE Android Development] Renosh:
I've tried F2FS (data & cache) and didn't notice any difference in performance. It's not worthwhile to convert when ext4 is stable, performs the same and every ROM supports it
[ONE Android Development] mada1991:
Thanks for your feedback

I'll do it just if I'll be at home to twiddle my thumbs;)
[ONE Android Development] BarrOff:
Thank you for the quick reply. Thus us something I really like, developers who react to feedback ???? That's ok, your kernel is allready great, just thought ut would be a nice addition.
[ONE Android Development] Traace:
F2FS doesn't tweak the performance so much, personally I would even use it if it has a LOWER performance compare to ext4.

In fact, F2FS was NOT developed for higher performance minded in first place. No! It was developed to drastically lower the read/write cycles on our NAND Chips, therefore we can expect a higher life span for our whole Device.

Because the time already told us, that NAND Chips are the first part that breaks. Followed by the Screen :good:

So that's not worth? No doubt, it does!
[ONE Android Development] OpIcarus:
i am in f2fs, installed the latest omnirom and put the last f2fs kernel, but does not start .. someone with the same problem?
[ONE Android Development] Renosh:
As far as I've researched thanks to your comments. The benefit you mentioned F2FS has of increased life span of flash storage due to fewer writes also applies to ext4. The only difference I've seen being quoted universally is F2FS performs better based on synthetic benchmarks. ext4 is considered stable while F2FS is known to be unstable. There doesn't seem to be much weight behind the buzz based on what I've experienced and some basic research I've done, ext4 is definitely a better choice.
[ONE Android Development] sohansonu:
Does this work on dirty unicorns ROM?
[ONE Android Development] OpIcarus:
i think no:silly:
[ONE Android Development] Traace:
Well u should do some research again, because that infos are not that correct.

Something is "definitely" better. (Yeah I love the way of view) -> Both have them benefits, it depends on how u use it, what u prefer etc. Please be more objective...

Performance: F2FS

data integrity: ext4

F2FS is lowering the write cycles due its "logging" behavior. Something ext4 will never learn (:

Here you got some Linux stuff for a proper research: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/fs-for-embedded-full_0.pdf

[ONE Android Development] stranostrano:
Hi [MENTION=6503047]BarrOff[/MENTION], I've just compiled a multirom (kexec_hardboot) test version. It boots on my device with OmniRom but I'm unable to test on a multirom setted device.

If you want to try it here you can download the multirom test version of my kernel.

Please, as always, feedback is really appreciated.

Have fun. ...always!

Edit: link removed. Reported as not working
[ONE Android Development] BarrOff:
Thanks! Your commitment is extraordinary! Will give it a try right now and report back.

Edit: just tried it but doesn't work. The multirom manager app said it wouldnt but I tried it nonetheless.
[ONE Android Development] OpIcarus:
awesome kernel,perfect!
[ONE Android Development] kalapapa:
This kernel is perfect and gives me amazing battey

I was just wondering if you had time, could you add adaptive low-memory-killer feature. That would be great

Thanks

My device (Galaxy Tab E 9.6 WiFi T560NU) is currently locked by FRP after attempting to root using the kingroot software, since then I've searched extensively throughout this forum and many others to try and rectify my issue. So far...

I've tried using Odin to flash the firmware back to stock and I get hung up at "NAND Write Start" followed by "FAIL:Auth"

Next I tried Smart Switch, it immediately tells me the device is unsupported and if I try More>Emergency Software Recovery>Device initialization it prompts me for my Model/SN at which point it tells me it's unable to find the serial on the server.

I'm completely out of ideas and I'm hoping I haven't wasted my time with a bricked device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdlegy:
Should I sell the lg g2 and get mi4C which is currently on discount for 173$.

I think it is a better phone and I also like miui a lot. I like the g2, but it is only 9 months old from the date I bought it and I know that a lot of people have yellow spots on the sreen after 1 year use.

I don't know if I should change with the mi4c. I like the g2. I am currently on cr droid android m and it is very fast.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajkatiyar07:
Why are you thinking of that ? It is still a good phone . Development is still in motion .
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdlegy:
Because the mi4 is a newer and better device with software that I like better
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
The sore point of the G2 is the slow, buggy stock ROM. One way to work around it is to install an AOSP based ROM, but you lose the stock camera and the ability to run certain banking and video streaming apps (because they seem to check for AOSP ROMs). The second options is perhaps to get a stripped down G2 lollipop ROM (only for d800). But if neither of these works out, I'd say sell it and get something else.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HzMeister:
I have no idea what you're talking about. Most(/all) aosp roms are

garbage

- laggy, lower raw performance, no camera, poor stability, etc. They're experimental roms for enthusiasts to test, not like stock roms that are fast and stable which are meant to be used everyday. For some reason people delude themselves into thinking aosp is somehow better...

Op, if you like miui and want to spend the extra $ for the mi4c, then you should do it. It seems to be a much better phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
I highly disagree with this post. I am not speaking for "most" AOSP ROMs. Just look at the well established ones: Cyanogenmod, BlissPOP, etc (I honestly think this is it, as far as good AOSP ROMS go). I had pretty much zero issues with Cyanogenmod ROMs on devices I have used them on. Of course, if you run the bleeding edge CM13 will have more bugs than the more stable and well established CM12.1. Right now I am running the last LG2-compatible official OmniROM, which is based on KitKat, on my G2 and this ROM was basically a revelation. It's incredibly, blazingly fast. So fast, that I think if I took away two cores and halved the clock speed of the remaining cores, there would still be no difference in speed or responsiveness, and it still would run fast. The stock 5.0.2 ROM on the other hand, seriously feels like its running on its last legs, specially if you multitask a lot. The lag can be real and very noticeable.

As for the camera, the advantages of the stock LG camera are highly exaggerated. It can take forever to focus, and often fails to focus, specially shooting videos. I downloaded every free camera app I could find on the play store onto the OmniROM install, and pretty much everyone of them is more than passable. Right now I am using Google camera, but HD Camera seems pretty satisfactory too (sans the ads in the free version). Overall, I'd say the LG camera is better, but it's not that much significantly better or more important to prevent me from using other ROMs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdlegy:
I used reconstruction remix, blisspop, vanir and currently using cr droid android M. Even with android M I have no issues. Have been using it for about a month. Had one crash or two on one app. That is all. I really like it and it is very fast.

I like everything about this phone expect that you can't put tempered glass screen protector, because it doesn't fit good.

The mi4C is on a really good price atm for 170$. I like miui, new features, usb - c, sunlight display, better SOC, tempered glass will stick good, new device(Released 2015 September). The g2 is almost 3 years old. That is the thing that makes me wanna sell it. It is just old and I might get a yellow spot on the screen, because a lot of people have one.

The mi4C is really a better phone, but I am still not sure if I should do it, because I still like the g2, but on the other hand the mi4c is on a really good deal atm

Hey everyone, has anyone noticed that dailymotion (app and website) dims the screen when it's playing videos?

in the chrome website you can go out of fullscreen and move the mouse about and you get 5 more minutes of bright video but on the actual android app the moment you get out of the navigation overlay it dims again

I've been getting around this buy pumping the brightness up but i mean that's clearly not the solution. anyone have a solution?

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Flash-A-Holic:
Geekbench:

Mi 4C: 1240 and 3228

LG G2: 943 and 2781

Battery life (gsmarena):

Mi 4C: Endurance rating 52h, Talk time 18:31h, Web browsing 9:32h, Video playback 10:47h

LG G2: Endurance rating 81h, Talk time 25:15h, Web browsing 11:42h, Video playback 9:28h

Mi 4C is definitely faster than LG G2 but LG G2 has better battery life. Althought you can fix the bad standby battery life of Mi 4C by using some mods. If you are not in hurry then maybe you can wait little bit till there is Snapdragon 650 devices out. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with SD650 is a beast! SD650 is better than SD808.

Redmi Note 3 (SD650): 1535 and 3574

If you choose to wait you can test MIUI with your LG G2 ;)

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] DFurax:
Hey !

I come from a LG G2, this phone was so great, I miss it. So now I have the MI4c and I can give you a little feedback :

Battery :

First I really was disappointed about the battery of the MI4c, it was so cool on the LG G2, I could use it for two days easily.

Now on the MI4c (with the CM 12.1) I can only use it for one day.

Camera

The camera was great on the LG G2, but it's better on the Mi4c. You can film in 4k and take beautifull pictures. With MIUI, you can take a picture in 0.1 second, it's so fast. I really prefer the camera of the MI4c.

Software and Performance

On my LG G2 I was on the Official CM 12.0 rom and it was really fast. Now on the MI4c it's the same, it's fluid and quite stable (with the MIUI rom).

I never tried to play a powerful game, but I tested the Cardboard VR and it was really good. And I really like the screen.

So of course I advise you the MI4c, for his quality and his price. But you will be disappointed about the battery life. If you can buy the 32gb version, buy it because 10 gb isn't enough (and 3gb of ram is better).
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rdlegy:
How much sceen on time do you get with your mi4c?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] DFurax:
4/5 hours, depend of what your usage. Personnaly I use Twitter, Internet and Youtube.

But it's can change with the rom that you use.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rdlegy:
That is good like the g2

I get 4h sot. Ty guys for help. I ordered one and we will see if I like it
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] DFurax:
Cool, be careful about the boot loarder lock. Don't update your phone via the official Ota or you could not install a different rom on it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] gatsem:
I also came from LG G2 to Mi4C:

- first of all - there is (ATM) no sources for Mi4C, no global rom either. You have to use official/local MIUI, or some CM ports. It's not like with LG G2, where u have really big choice of roms. No one knows, if there will be ever sources.

- battery is better on LG G2, but still i can use Mi4C 2 days (now i'm on latest stable MIUI form xiaomi.eu; WiFi/LTE on all time; but SOT about 3h - i'm using phone mostly for texting and e-mails)

- LG G2 UI is, in my opinion, much better than MIUI (e.g. floating dialer, floating sms etc. etc - i love them all). Also MIUI is full of chinese stuff like "HEY THERE IS YOUR'S NEW WALLPAPER PLEASE INSTALL ME!!". Other things is, that u can block all unwanted stuff. MIUI needs to be more adapted, than LG's UI (but it is subcjective ofc).

- i can't see big difference in performance - Snapdragon 808 isn't MUCH better than 800 in daily use. Or just Mi4c's roms are not optimised enough. Also 808 is getting warm quite fast (e.g. 10 minutes on web and u can warm your hands in winter - quite useful :P). You can get used to.

Conclusion:

- LG G2 was / is really great phone. The best, which i ever had. (BTW. i hadn't sold my G2, i gave it to my GF, cuz her phone was broken. It has more than 12 months, no problems with screen.)

- Mi4c is atm quite similar to LG G2. The worst thing is software. I'd really like to have access to custom roms. I think MIUI is killing great Mi4c's hardware (except photo app - that one is really cool!)

Also: have you considered Redmi 3? It's cheaper and similar to Mi4C. Weaker processor, but better battery. I'm wondering, if we can notice difference in daily use in performance between present snapdragons.

Regards

EDIT: Ops, i didn't noticed, that you have already ordered one. Well, have a happy use:P
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] DFurax:
Nice answer ! I pray that he will not receive a MI4C with the bootloader blocked. Because if you don't like Miui, you couldn't install another rom ><
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Ulver:
If you're ordering from gearbest, I wouldn't worry about it. It will come with an unofficial version of MIUI. So be prepared to flash something else. Obviously watch out for the China dev ROMs as the newest version will lock your bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rdlegy:
I canceled my order, because I saw a thread where the mi4c has touch screen issues in the edges. I also don't think it will be a good upgrade. SO I will wait maybe 6-7 months or more and get a new model of xiaomi
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] DFurax:
Personally I never had touch screen issues, it's not on all models, but it's a risk of course. Maybe the Mi5 will be better. Wait & See
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] gatsem:
It's hard to say, if it is an "issue". Area, which is responding to touch, gets smaller when you are using more than one finger. It is a confirmed thing, i got the same.

Other thing is, that sometimes keyboard isn't responding well on MIUI. I never had this problem on PAC or CM roms.

Hey guys, I'm planning to develop an app for Android and I'd need suggestions. I know that the Android app market is pretty saturated right now and there's an app for everything, but if you guys have an idea for an app please feel free to tell me. Be it an app that covers a need that other apps can't cover, or something that's already on the store but they are missing some feature, etc.

Or maybe an app you would personally need and can't find the suitable app on the store to cover you need.

Feel free to give any idea. But keep in mind I'm a beginner :) And sorry for my English.

Lol! No... I mean an app for the store. I'm just out of ideas and I wanna develop :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kush2.0:
Remember the old Nokia brick phones back in the day. Like the 6210s etc. They used to have "Profiles" where you could name your settings as to ring tone volume or silent an all that. Well by extension you could say set the silent profile on until a certain time. So what I would do (because I never switch off my phone) when I went to bed is put it on silent and set the time so the silent profile would end at Xoclock in the morning returning back to the original profile. Therefore if anyone text or called it wouldn't disturb me in the night. But then once I was up and after the time I set the profile to that was fine. I think that option died out with those phones I used to use daily. I have not seen it on any smartphone I have owned since.
