about F2FS

[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] [MENTION=4761533]fire855[/MENTION] [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION]

and all friends that are anxious to use the new ability for F2FS for our phone....

just a quick search with google, I bumped into a very nice guide, what is F2FS and how to move from ext4 to F2FS...

please read it carefully, it is from the oneplus forum, so it is a serious device with serious ppl doing things, and see if you understand what is it all about, and if you followed the correct steps to format your partitions to F2FS. Then perhaps it will be a good time to discuss if there are some bugs about it or not. Good Luck !!!

here is the link: Formatting EXT4 to F2FS
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] potatohead:
thanks for the guide :)

i believe most s3 users here can do step 1-12 without problem, step 13 is the crucial part that enables restoration of TWRP backup without it formatting partition.

learn something new today, thanks for the info once again.

I can't say it's better than ext or ext is better than f2fs, for me it's a matter of taste which one to use.

I have had the same issues when I try to shut down some of the band modes (LTE 30 an so on). No connection after that, here the phone even needed to be restarted...but after that it works fine, also can tasker change the network type, during night GSM and during day LTE. But LTE is not shown in status bar.

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] potatohead:
F2FS may be better not because it is new or fast, but because of its characteristic:

"F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux kernel.

The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that, from the start, takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers."

What is the format / file system of your microSD card?

My guess would be FAT32 as the support of exFAT really has nothing to do with whether it is a dirty or clean flash.

If the OS supports exFAT (as portable drive, not internal storage), it should support irregardless, please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello,

here installed new ROM wiping standard cache, data and Davilk. No issue found. File system type are same as before (but, I don't know what they are). How I can check actual file system? Why I could format following instructions (witch advantages I will have)?

When start I had this problem me too. I set on LTE/4G my preferred network (and signal disappeard) after I choose manually network operator for this sim. Search takes a long time and when it is searching I reboot the phone (I did'nt no more patience) and after reboot network operator was ok and LTE was working.

I hope this could be useful/working also for you.

Actually there's no need for you to reboot, jus enable 'airplane mode' and then disable it again and your signal will be back for you. But for me thos is not good because lte signal is weaker than hspa.

LTE preferred means when lte signal gets a bit weaker it will switch to hspa.

0819 rom is definitely faster than 0605, even without changing filesystem (ext4).

also, 0819 has more aggressive sleep policy i would believe, battery last longer but at the expense of prompt incoming alerts (for messaging apps)

deal breaker for me is the inability to handle exFAT microSD card.

waiting for devs to fix this in their next update.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Dior DNA:
Some roms&twrp implement f2fs for external cards. That's perhaps better than Fat32 or exFat.

I am not sure if madOS rom&twrp support f2fs for external cards. I did never try.

---------- Post added at 15:13 ---------- Previous post was at 15:08 ----------

But 20170605 did handle exFAT microSD card. Are you saying 20170820 broke this?

Does Android ask you to format microSD card?

Did you flash clean or dirty?

I will try 20170820 dirty upgrade next weekend to check if it seamlessly continues to work.

If I actually liked Lineage or all the other ROMs based on it, I would just built those ,like we did On MM ROMs...

Truth is: there's wayyyyy more "trash* on those ROMs on an development stand point, and several other things...

Hence... We did started as pure aosp builds on N, and move forward with madOS, that is 100% AOSP based (way cleaner ) with extended capabilities

( functions/options)

You and several people had been requesting things, we need to check what those things are, and add those if everything looks nice.

There's way too much requests for us to check & merge, this takes all our free time, and we spend a lot of time supporting all our current phones portfolio ( and its currently a lot! )

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

strictly speaking it is not converting, but backing up /Data before formatting /Data to F2FS, then 'restoring' the contents using rm -rf instead of formatting (in TWRP, under Settings).

if mad 3.1.1 TWRP cannot accomplish the above, try the earlier 3.0.2 version

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] MoldySoapBox:
The reason why I quoted [MENTION=4791873]Borizzz[/MENTION] is to make sure he has something to prove thoroughly that f2fs is just a myth and convince me not to use it.

I have seen this benchmark here in xda comparing ext4's and f2fs' performance and reliablity https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697069. Perhaps f2fs is something to ignore to, why would anyone bother to compare those two and why would the developer of f2fs ACTUALLY MAKE F2FS if its just a fraud? The developer really had a lot of free time to make a "placebo"-thing.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] antonioantuan:
I'm not a troll, I do not want to be a troll. That f2fs does not have any improvement I do not say it. It is a statement of many people in the Spanish forum. F2fs is useless in the roms of Sandstranger. F2fs is not good for the roms of the Mad Team ..... I'm not a troll, I appreciate your work, I appreciate the work of ALL the developers. Do not shoot me, you're wrong.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] superdragonpt:
The file system was originally made by Samsung to fix several issues on the old ext4, like less. overhead..., many other things...

Then Google liked it so much that they adopted it (Pixel phones anyone?) , plus adding their own improvements if we can call it...

I think Samsung devs & Google Devs are all just Placebo :cool::cool:

They know nothing...

Edit: About your link :

Lovely bench's, let me just add an parenthesis on it:

That already shows some nice differences ...

That's already some years old, and at the time the filesystem (Samsung) was still on very early phase, yet , it already shown some awesome improvement yes...

Since then it has improved in all aspects to the point this being adopted be major Vendors on their flagship's and even by Google itself

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Dior DNA:
[MENTION=281623]potatohead[/MENTION] : slightly OT for this ROM

You are right in that F2FS for portable storage is useless for many. But, I only have Linux machines (which fortunately can read/write/repair F2FS just fine). As I do not like nor trust Microsoft (and its filesystems in particular) that much, I use F2FS on portable storage whenever I can (that is: if ROM/recovery combo both support it). Such is not often the case, but e.g. was the case few years ago for a Galaxy S4.

I personally never needed Safetynet fix feature. Chainfire calls 'hiding root' 'a losing game'. Nevertheless he recently kindly provides an (unsupported) SuperSU which, for now, can do so. I don't feel yet like playing this game though. But anyone is free to do so, of course. Magisk seems very popular exactly for that reason.

Meanwhile, if anyone rooted 20170819 using SuperSU v2.82, let me know.
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] MoldySoapBox:
I googled it the moment I saw that f2fs thingy in the changelogs. And yes, almost all developers are implementing f2fs to Pixel, Samsung, etc. so I quite of dug into it deeper.

Also, its fun some of the people doesn't get your sarcasm that easily :laugh: (which is really obvious for me and maybe some other people :p)
[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] genesisalgor:
f2fs is not placebo, I've suceeded in formatting data and cache and man, i can feel the difference in the first boot. Apps open faster and multitasking is smoother. Anyone saying that f2fs isnt better never used Linux, and knows nothing.

[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] cheliii:
Cannot flash from Xtreme 2.54 to madOS 7.1.1

Hello,

I have a Jiayu S3 and I have tried to install your ROM 7.1.2. but it gave me and error. I think it was I did not change the recovery before doing the flash.

So now, I still have 2.8.7.7 TFAndroid recovery, but I am trying to flash your ROM v7.1.1. and it seems to go ok, but I always get two wargings:

E:Unable to mount ´/protect_f´

E:Unable to mount ´/protect_s´

When I reboot the phone, the Jiayu logo apears and then 4 circles in different colours which I guess is the booting proceess.... The phone remains there without booting.

When I start in recovery, the first warning that I have is a Mount warning saying that TWRP is read only, so I guess this recovery is not getting updraded.

As you may realized, I am not very skill in this issues, and I am getting lost. Fortunately I can always start in recovery mode, but v2.8.7.7 TFAndroid, so I think I have not bricked my phone.

Can you give me an explanation about how to flash you recovery first, and then to flash the rom?

Perhaps is has already been explained here, but I cannot find it.

Many thanks from Spain.
