Gonna leave my standing mark here.

Anyway, I've unpacked the F2FS compatible TWRP and replace the built-in kernel with my own kernel based on the official CAF sources + upstreamed mainline kernel + F2FS drivers updates and LineageOS updates. I've tested the recovery by creating and deleting folder via terminal on my F2FS formatted 32GB MicroSD card and everything goes like it should and never crash or panic and reboot again.

The problems we had with F2FS and the F2FS compatible TWRP is very simple, the kernel panics with every single command done on F2FS formatted partitions (except wiping).

Just shut up you funky man.

Okay. Here's the link and the kernel source used.

Why not create a new thread for this?

This is only a slight modification (kernel replacement) to the F2FS compatible TWRP done by me, so it's a nonsense to create another thread just with this change.

So, basically, I no longer need to use Flashfire after flash LOS 14 on F2FS because TWRP no longer work? :D
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] krasCGQ:
Nah, I mean, the bug is on the kernel. I replaced the kernel and everything works as it should. I've done flashing multiple times on my phone: rm -rf /data (the worst part), flashing Magisk, etc with F2FS on data and cache.

I (lots of people with all kinds of phones) have a BIG problem, with never being able to use TWRP (3.0.2-0) anymore after encrypting my device!?

It will always ask for a pattern (even when disabled) and always says incorrect and then fails to mount /data etc. and thus not being able to update or even worse, backup or recover anymore!

Errors like:

updater process ended with error: 7

failed to mount '/cache' (invalid argument)

failed to decrypt data

How can I fix this!? Is using TWRP and encryption even possible? Do we need a newer TWRP with all kinds of extra options like ZCX made for the RedMi Note 3!?

I am in trouble (and not wanting to format Data, AGAIN)!

Hi, I want to switch everything to f2fs and can't succeed to reformat internal storage. When I check Internal storage and Change or repair filesystem, I get error about invalid selection. Data and System went fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] krasCGQ:
Internal storage is a part of your data partition. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bflmpsvz:
I need some help here. After reformatting data&system to f2fs, I'm unable to boot to restored OS.

By reflashing ROM & OpenGApps I ended up on error message Incompatible Device Detected, your device: arm (wrong)

TWRP gives this warning on restore:

WARNING: This /data backup was made by filesystem ext4! Backup won't boot if it won't change back to ext4.

The question is: will I be any way able to restore my data partition after filesystem change?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] krasCGQ:
1) You shouldn't wipe system to f2fs. Only do it for data and cache.

2) Tick "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" in TWRP settings before restoring ext4 backup.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bflmpsvz:
It succeeded, but was painful (lost all data on internal storage) and minor problem with reflashing OpenGapps (first flash after conversion needs to be done on clean system).

After all the results aren't so good as I expected, A1 Bench for internal memory gives rates 58/93 MB/s which is worse than ext4. Is there a kernel, scheduler that performs better?

One question more, why TWRP won't allow to f2fs system partition? I always end up with ext4. Is there a trick to force having even system f2fs?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] krasCGQ:
Even when it does, ROM flash just reformats it back to ext4.

2. After I got bootloader unlocked and flashed twrp using fastboot, when do I run "adb disable-varity"? In fastboot? In TWRP? Boot into MIUI again?

3. It says for running "adb disable-varity" requires root, but I can't get root if I don't enable system modification, and enabling system modification will bootloop the system, any way around this?
