How did you do that? Till few days ago even recovery could not mount F2FS partitions. Now it can and also can correctly write system and data to partitions formatted to F2FS. You must change default formatting behavior to "rm -rf" or recovery will format partitions back to ext4 during restoring partitions.

All that considering not even one 14.1 rom boots on F2FS.

Could you use Diskinfo app rom playstore and check system and data partitions?

Like this :)

Can anyone help me. I have unlocked bootloader today and flashed twrp recovery. But in recovery I am unable to flash anything. It says 'unable to mount internal storage'. After ticking Internal storage in mount option also it says same error. Is there any other way to get through this process?

which twrp did u use? reflash the twrp img via flashify. use nigel's twrp or something
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
That's because all CM14.1 roms contain system partition images, not just a bunch of files and the system partition gets converted to ext4 whatever you want it or not. After first reboot the system starts (and is already ext4), boots and after loading complains that encryption process is stopped because it can't mount /data partition (which was converted earlier to f2fs). Only after converting it back to ext4 it will work correctly.

I tried taking complete running system (and data), making backup, converting partitions to f2fs and restoring back to f2fs partitions but the system wouldn't even try to boot (couldn't mount /system).

That's why I'm again asking if and when the rom will be f2fs compatible. I know it is not hard, probably only enabling an option during kernel compilation and maybe an edit of kernel mount point options for boot. I would do it myself but it is a bit beyond my skills, I'm more of a hardware guy :)

It seems that /system is only attempted to mount as ext4 but /data nad /cache are as both ext4 and f2fs - but still using this kernel when /data is formatted to f2fs system complains that it is unable to encrypt data.

I can live with /system as ext4 since it is mostly read only partition but /data would be better of as f2fs.

Can you help here?

One other thing, after unpacking kernel there is a file "init.qcom.power.rc" - is this a place where I can activate all CPUs in Helium version? Because it talks about grouping and powering up various CPUs.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Don't think current kernel supports f2fs encryption and that might be your problem... It is missing f2fs encryption flag in devconfig...

Yep, init.qcom.power.rc is where you bring helium extra cores up and down... It is pretty much self explanatory...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
So the way to go is to disable encryption flag in fstab? Is that even going to work? Comparing the fstab from One+ One to the one here, encryption flags differ a lot, do you know how to change them to get the kernel to work or conversely does changing devconfig require kernel recompile?

It's a shame nobody wants (or has the ability) to play with the kernel to get it to do some useful things like a bit of overclocking or full color control, not to mention helium or f2fs compatibility.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I cannot get CDMA and EVDO calls and data to work on this CM14 and CM14-based ROMs. I get LTE data fine but when I try to make calls on a CDMA network, the signal bar drops to zero and I get a network error.

I think only RR by ajsmsg78 has the right Global (CDMA/EvDo/LTE/GSM/WCDMA) Preferred network type in Cellular Settings. I haven't seen this option in any other custom ROMs so it could be what's necessary to get CDMA calls working.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
After a lot of kernel repacking, changing and reflashing I concluded that I'm too stupid for this :(

I mean, in "init.qcom.power.rc" I set "write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online 1" for all cpus, set

"write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/min_cpus 1

write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/max_cpus 4" in heading core_ctl

and few other places. But it makes no difference, I still have to use Adiutor to enable cores on older kernel and in new one I can't enable cores at all.

In case of fstab it was a fun day for me. I played with "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data f2fs nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,inline_xattr,data_flush wait,check,formattable,length=-16384" and that was the only one that made any difference - being that system did not complain about being unable to encrypt /data - it just hung on logo and was unable to mount /data - even reformatting partition did not change this. So removing encryption parameter did not help at all.

If you have any idea what to do, please tell :)

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Sorry to say but it did not work on newer kernel versions. Like my own modifications it did work on older kernel. It means that something else changed in kernel that prevents more than 2 big cores to be active at the same time and that change is not in this file :(

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] alf0:
I think the main reason is (aside from the device that Strix own is Hydrogen ones, cmiiw) that this CM build is a "merge" project between Hydrogen and Kenzo which has almost identical spec, not because it's cheaper or something, not to mention the MIUI dev itself focusing Nougat on Hydrogen rather on Helium, cause you now, it's already on MIUI 8 based Nougat beta testing phase for Hydrogen.

But doing on and off some times, it is normal.

My problem facing:

My video recording doesnt work (as expected)

4G is not that stable, when compare with miui, the new rom occasionally shows no signal for 4G, but the signal is fine when I used miui

Wifi seems lagging (when connecting by wifi, there is high chance that the traffic is blackholed for seconds), although not a bit deal, just FYI

Overall, this ROM is great, as miui sending lots of information in background, while this one is clean.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nottheusualtoday:
Because of health issues I have an app on my phone that first responders such as paramedics can use to see my medical history, medication, allergies etc., and lets me easily call emergency numbers if I am in a condition to do so. This app is from the play store and is one of the many just called ICE. Several of these apps have an associated widget that they can place on the lock screen, that can be used immediately, even if a password is set there.

The problem I have, is that if I set a password or fingerprint in the phone security settings, it prevents a first responder from seeing the lock screen and widget, and retrieving the information. Is there any way of getting the widget onto the password screen? I realise I could stop setting a password on the phone in security settings. I don't like having a password on the lock screen, because every single time the the screen is woken up, a password has to be entered.

I would be grateful if anyone is able to give me ideas of a work-around.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nottheusualtoday:
It is not the lock screen that I need to place a widget on. Many of the ICE apps from Play Store will already do this. But if one sets a password there, then it needs to be used every time the screen is woken up, which is a pain. Ideally I would like to be able to set the system password from the settings menu, and for a paramedic still be able to access the widget without entering a password. - Mike
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] otonieru:
When woken up, it wont directly ask for password, unless you set "directly show PIN" enabled, or when it trigger by finger. If its woken up using button, it will simply show lockscreen

i think you should take a screenshot of the condition you expect (turn off your pass first, maybe) to give us better idea regarding the situation.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] nottheusualtoday:
The condition I need is that a widget should be available to allow a paramedic or doctor acess to my medical conditions etc, even when the phone is protected by a pasword. Maybe this is impossible and I shall just have to leave my phone unprotected by a password.
