[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zombie Feynman:
As long as LineageOS continues to track Android releases, I'd say stick with the Android version numbering -- I've always found CyanogenMod's versioning to be an unnecessary source of confusion. Of course, if the development team suddenly decides there should be no effort to keep up with Android 8 when it's released, then 1.0 would be a more sensible scheme, but I think that's pretty unlikely.

Guys, I don't think re-numbering is even being considered, and the numbering will continue - honoring it's "lineage" to CM. This project is not "starting new", but rather returning to it's roots.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] antoferna:
(Roots? What roots??)

I understand that Lineage is the next of CM, but why it should use the same number for a new thing? It should be use the same numer as android, ti be simple...

Yo, this thread is not about whether numbering is being considered, it's an opinion thread on Lineage numbering...

It's a fun, and an interesting question..

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] dj_chapz:
As a LOS developer said, the whole point of "lineage" would not make sense if the numbering changed. This way it "continues the path" set by CM but as a child, as something new. I agree that the numbering is a bit confusing as the AOSP has a lower version number than LOS but LOS is actually "catching up" after AOSP release.

Personally, I would stick to the AOSP numbering and make 14.1 -> 7.1. The issues started I think with Android 2.0-2.3.3 where Android switched APIs but stay at 2.X and CM was released as 6,7,8 or similar. And down the road they changed it to match minor releases of AOSP.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] amateurhack:
I actually preferred the CM numbering system. It made no sense to me that ICS, JB, KK, and LL ROMs were all numbered 4.x, and as I understand it, that is the same reason why they chose g this numbering system to begin with: Android numbers don't make sense.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Robot76:
Hmmm, yes, it looks good from a logical developers perspective, 10/10, but to non-developers, it probably looks meh, [emoji23]

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] john_99:
Thanks, a few questions thou.

1. What version of the Treo 750 firmware do you have?

2. Does name display work on incoming calls?

As I have an AT&T branded Treo 750 and name display only shows up in the call log, not on incoming calls.

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Ender666666:
Sorry for the delay in response, my computer crashed, and I forgot to check on here.

I'm not sure what version this is. All I know is that I took it from my Rogers branded Treo before I sold it. AFAIK, there is only one version of firmware available for Rogers.

As far as name display goes, it supposedly doesn't work, but try it and see. I never used my 750, just sold it. I prefer my TyTN.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chrcol:
I was surprised to have the following issues with my s7 as I expected software standardization across samsung devices and a comparable screen quality.

On my S5 there is very tiny contrast shift off angle. Have to look for it to be noticeable.

On my S7 there is colour shift (not just contrast shift), white backgrounds turn light blue off angle. (could be fault?)

On my S5 the dialer supports both auto redial for engaged numbers and also toggling of noise surpression, both options missing from the S7.

Performance wise the S7 is defenitly faster than the LG G5 I returned but still feels a bit worse than the S5 in certain places, however will tweak the kernel to see if can improve.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjitkop:
Hello, first post on XDA forums. :o

In one sentence, my goal is to back up data from a tablet that doesn't boot beyond the Samsung logo.

Details:

- tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0", model GT-P3113

- problem: when you turn it on, it boots to the point of showing the Samsung logo and is stuck on it

For the past 2 days now, I've been trying to figure out how to back up data from this tablet so that it can be put on a new tablet.

During these 2 days, I educated myself on Android and especially how to use Odin to install new firmware and I've been reading about TWRP. I learned about recovery mode and download mode.

I was able to use Odin to load a ROM image for version 4.2.2 and according to Odin the process went through without issues. However, that didn't fix the boot problem, it's still the same.

I even wiped the cache partition in recovery mode but still the same problem.

I was very hopeful today that I would be able to use ADB with the "pull" command to save the data to a computer. Unfortunately, after installing ADB on my laptop running Ubuntu, it doesn't see any devices connected. My understanding is that with Linux there is no need to install a driver unlike on a Windows PC.

Current situation as I type this message:

- stock tablet, not rooted, default recovery system on it (Android system recovery <3e>)

- tablet in recovery mode

- tablet connected to computer via USB cable

- ADB installed on Linux computer

- the command "adb devices" returns no devices found

Question to you guys: if the tablet is in recovery mode, shouldn't ADB see it on the Linux-based computer?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance for your help. :fingers-crossed:

It seems u got stuck in the bootloop, try to wipe data/cache/dalvik ur device and I think it would solve ur problem
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smart-t78:
root the tab, install custom recovery twrp and a nice marshmallow custom rom. then you have a new device.

why backup data from a non booting system?? for me it makes no sense.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
considering you never rooted,

and you were on stock 4.0.4 or 4.2.2?

whichever version you were on, you're supposed to use the same firmware build which you were using before.

different firmware flashed on another Build's data results in bootloops as well.

solution: you should flash a custom recovery first instead of a firmware. that will not erase the data.

then you switch to recovery, make a backup of the data partition.

save it on your ext card.

wipe your system,data, factory reset.

flash the official firmware you were using before.

let it boot.

flash custom recovery again.

restore data and check.

if it still goes into a bootloop,

try entering safe mode.

you can get an app that can restore selective data from nandroid backup. (forgot the name but it was on play store) or you can extract from the backup the data you need.

there is a detailed guide link just below here in my signature. you can give it a read, when you feel like stuck somewhere.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TeutonJon78:
Switching to most F2FS doesn't make sense for anything other /cache (which is rarely even used, so probably not worth it) and /data (probably very worth it). The benefits that F2FS related to writing to the partition a lot over time.

There is no benefit to using F2FS for /system over ext4, in fact there are probably downsides. You aren't generally writing to /system very often, so no need to worry about write speeds to it. Read speeds are going to be similar anyway. And unless all the more recent F2FS development is backported into the kernel, you'd be running a very old version of F2FS as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
I got almost 5000 more score in Antutu just by migrating the data partition from ext4 to F2FS. Writes are slower than reads for almost all the storage systems, and a flash memory is not different. An increase in the write performance is more noticeable than the reduction in read performance. That combination provides an overall increase in performance to the system.

I have been using it in my previous phone for more than 1 year without any issue, however having a stable and updated implementation is in the hands of the kernel developers. recently the Moto-Z uses the F2FS in its data partition with a very effective mount options. Probably this mix of mount options are the trick that makes the Moto-Z the fastest phone regarding filesystem.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
I do not find those files inside the patch.d folder inside the zip file (the minimal kernel patch). I will take the file from the full kernel and I will insert into the minimal patch.

I would like to enable F2FS for the cache partition as well as using the mount options: rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,background_gc=on,discard,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,nobarrier,extent_cache,active_logs=6 for the data partition. It should increase the performance over the current options set. System partition has no reason to be migrated.

I will modify fs_data_opts string definition in the 06-f2fs-fstab file as well as trying to configure cache as a F2FS. If Motorola is using F2FS with successful results, then probably it worths it. I am trying to test whether the solution Motorola did with the Moto Z also works in our device. A deep analysis can be found here.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jcadduono:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/o...er/marshmallow/ailsa_ii/patch.d/06-f2fs-fstab

add it to the patch.d folder then. change the data mount flags to whatever you want.

i highly advise against uncommenting system/cache, f2fs is nothing but downsides for them. (incompatibilities for cache, which is unused by OS anyways), system is going to be read only all the time and ext4 has much better inode access/index times than f2fs so clearly better for read only, ex. $PATH reading to find locations of binaries to run, so please don't use f2fs on /system.

rw - lol all filesystems are rw by default

seclabel - this isn't a flag for you to use

nosuid/nodev - somewhat of a safety mechanism, unrelated to performance

noatime - very tiny write performance increase that won't be noticeable

nodiratime - same as noatime, but even less so

discard - i don't believe discard mount option is supported on Axon 7.

acl - acl will reduce performance (that's just extra access control/permission management)

nobarrier - this will increase the performance, yes, and it's probably a good idea because you don't have to worry at all about power outages other than severe kernel panics

extent_cache - this is on by default, so no need to specify it

inline_data - this is also on by default, no need to specify it

inline_xattr - no noticeable changes in performance, but normally specified on android i'd keep it

active_logs=6 - the default is 6, so no need to specify it, and there's no need to change this value (6 is optimal)

background_gc=on - the default is on, so need to specify it....

user_xattr - this isn't actually a valid f2fs flag, it is the default though, and don't specify nouser_xattr on android, it will cause bad things to happen

so....nobarrier is the only flag you should care about adding. no, it won't make a noticeable difference.

BIG FAT thanks for the resource. I have a safe backup of the whole system. and I am willing to play the guinea pig role in testing all these options. I already had moved the 06-f2fs-fstab patch into the patch.d folder. But it was late and got some error while flashing. Today I will try again.

[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jcadduono:
You must have somehow removed patch.d-env from the zip at some point, or added a space inside the quotes of . "$env"? I don't know why that error would happen otherwise.

Also, I told you seclabel and user_xattr are not valid f2fs flags, they are display flags only, you won't be able to boot with them.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
Finally I was able to flash it. Notepad++ caused the issue. It changed the line end control character and replaced CF by CR+CF. So I just edited it using Sublime and everything went as expected. It flashed properly and the options are in place after reboot. By the way, I removed also seclabel and user_xattr, they are applied by default. I will start doing tests tomorrow.

Happy new year!!!

Cache partition still boot as ext4 after the patched F2FS patch.

I have run AnTuTu v6.2.7 without any overclock at all after applying the F2FS options of the Moto Z. I used my daily drive data with the stock ROM and the repatched patch of [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] to allow F2FS with the extra options.

The AnTuTu score is 152937 Wich makes it the third Android phone in the top 5 list. Adding this patch to an optimized kernel configuration could be close to the iPhone 7 score.

Wow! This phone is a S7 killer!!!

Dude, I get 152K with B29 stock OS
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
Even when using the same device, there will be people with more and less performance with stock OS using ext4. It will depend of the bin of the processor, the temperature (thermal throttling), the set of apps you have installed running in background, etc. The important number is the score difference between ext4 and F2FS, in my case it was 7657 points after the F2FS options patch.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JeromeLeung:
Thanks for sharing this. I was under the impression that the stock kernel didn't support f2fs fully for some reason.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
I am trying to optimize the filesystem even more. The next step is to provide specific parameters for the geometry with the fs geometry options in the mkfs.f2fs -s- z: these options control number of segments per section and number of sections per zone. Sizes that match chip parameters may speed up FLASH write operations. I assume this should have been taken care of, but I am just trying to find more optimization opportunities within the options.

Does anyone know these two geometry parameters for our eMMC?

[MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] Do you know what is the default geometry for mkfs.f2fs partitions in TWRP?

On the options part, I am also considering inline_data and inline_dentry.

[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
I have updated STEP 6 to optimize the initial F2FS structure when restoring the backup. I have also modified jcadduono kernel patch to inject these options also in the kernel to make them permanent. This results in about 3000 extra score in Antutu.

[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diplodocus123:
Lot of my apps cannot save data anymore. For example the stock camera app. It only saves the pictures on ext sd. Is this a known issue or should it work normally. I am not sure if I did something wrong because the phone was booting fine and everthing else seems to work. BTW I am on BeastMode R12 Kernel...
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Loader009:
I think the filesystem is corrupt and is mounted in read-only.

Reboot to recovery (TWRP), go to wipe, advanced, select data, then either on repair or on change and then repair.

Do NOT wipe data or change the filesystem, this will wipe anything.

If you are unsure, you can backup your data first.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
It all depends on the F2FS implementation of the BeastMode R12 Kernel and the mount options. Stock kernel has an old but solid implementation of the F2FS filesystem, I only modified the mount options for performance and efficiency improvement.

Can you type adb shell mount in powershell (or command prompt)and write here the output? that may give us a clue on what is happening to you. However your problems doesn't seem to be related to the filesystem format.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diplodocus123:
Thx for helping. I just wiped everything and it works!
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JeromeLeung:
How can we apply the optimizations in step 6 if we've already switched to f2fs? Also where can we find your modified version of jcadduono's kernel?
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Oki:
The optimizations in Step 6 are used to create an optimized filesystem structure when restoring the data backup. TWRP doesn't have them as default so you just have to follow the steps and execute that command from the adb interface or the TWRP terminal under advanced menu. Otherwise you will begin with an not optimum structure.

The "patched" patch for the kernel ailsa_ii_xda_safetynet_kcal-f2fs-1.2-20170104.zip includes the original stand alone kernel by jcadduono with bootloader unlock cloaking, no-verify patch, Qualcomm kcal color calibration support and my patch with the optimized options for F2FS mounts. You just have to flash the ZIP using TWRP or Flashfire app. This will make F2FS options permanent for the system by patching the fstab file.

The other goodies comes from [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]. This file is just the result of the conversation in this thread. So give also thanks to jcaduonno for his patch and for his help on using it to re-patch it for including the F2FS options.

I would like to include inline_dentry option to store also small directories information within the inodes to save read/writes cycles (time, battery, etc) when dealing with small directories (most of them). However, the F2FS implementation of our current stock kernel is not based on the current linux code and this option is not available for us yet. I hope custom roms and new Nougat rom will come with updated F2FS code so we could enable this additional option to optimize it even further.
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JeromeLeung:
Thanks for such a quick reply! I followed your guide to switch over to f2fs before there were step 6 optimizations. Can I just flash the patched kernel and run the commands to be fully optimized or will I have to start over from scratch?

Thanks again for sharing all of this :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diplodocus123:
