[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Yes you are correct.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Aside topic, On my Nexus 5X I don't see any issues. But I haven't seen any improvement either. Maybe our phones are so fast we can't even tell f2fs is making a difference?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minhgi:
In very specific case with 5x and only 2GB ram, I am running a 512mb swap file. F2fs will make a difference with memory swap. Read performance will be the same as ext4. Overall improved multitasking is what I get out of. I be frond upon even mentioning the word swap file.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
That's a good point. Now that I think of it, switching apps had got a lot faster. Multitasking has improved. I'm using franco kernel default swap settings btw.

And the readahead value feels even better when used high :)!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Anyone try f2fs with DU ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
you need to have a kernel that support f2fs
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dude6595:
Works with a kernel that supports f2fs...I didn't notice any difference though
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Pollie81:
Somehow i believe the rom and kernel need to be compatible with f2fs, it mostly works when you use a f2fs kernel though but maybe not to it's full potential?

DU has stated they are not f2fs compatible and they don't want to either but it could work if you flash another kernel though..

I had saosp working on f2fs when it shouldn't be compatible...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Hateware:
I'm doing this step by step but I'm stuck on a bootloop.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Same here with nitrogen rom and flash kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xflowy:
can someone tell me if f2fs works with aosip rom? :) or is really the kernel the only relevant variable?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spedyx7:
It works with the latest flash kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Pollie81:
It should with a f2fs compatible kernel..

I have it running on f2fs right now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
If you guys are using alppha super su, you cant flash it last, it changes the boot image, which changes the kernel. Make sure to flash Flash last
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Honestly, I have no clue. All I could suggest is trying to just using EXT4 and once your apps are downloaded and stuff, make the backup and restore it. My method was literally the same as the regular method of keeping your data, so I honestly have no clue. I wish I could help more.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
LISTEN UP I'LL SORT IT OUT FOR YOU:

1) Change to f2fs

2) FIRST Re-Flash your root

3) THEN flash a custom kernel with [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] patches, aka franco kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Woodrow256:
I have had no problems restoring backups without messing with that setting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hello2ew:
So is it safe to assume Flash kernel does not have arter97's supersu patch just yet?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Nope not using SuperSU as it is giving me ramdisk error since I have converted cache to f2fs I can't use SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Easiest way to get f2fs is

1. Flash the recovery on fastboot

2. Flash the Rom, supported kernel and any other thing you need

3. Change the file system to f2fs ( if data has an error when changing reboot TWRP)

4. Reboot system

5. Profit
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
It definitely does.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
The thing I don't understand is that after step 3, it will wipe your internal cache so there will be no rom to boot. is that right? I have given up on f2fs. I have spent countless hours trying to boot and it just hasn't booted for me. The system changes back to ext4. If someone could provide some clear steps on how to change to f2fs (assuming the user is on ext4), that'd be great.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dude6595:
*Flash ROM and f2fs kernel

*Some say reboot at the start screen...I completed the setup wizard as normal

*Made backup of data partition only in TWRP and moved to PC

*Change filesystem of data and cache to f2fs

*Reboot twrp

*move backup back to phone

*Check the use rm -rf instead of formatting

*Restore data partition backup

That's what worked for me
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
Thanks for that. Did you do a clean flash (wipe cache/dalvik/data etc.)? and which rom? I'm currently on nitro and franco kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dude6595:
Yeah clean flash with latest DU rc and flash kernel... But only restore data partition...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
I think nitrogen rom is the problem bcoz I also tried a lot using nitrogen rom Bt had no success
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
yeah but the weird thing is that you have other users who have successfully converted to f2fs on nitro. Anyway, I'll try what [MENTION=357552]dude6595[/MENTION] has suggested.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nicholasknicks:
It will wipe your data not system so theres still the ROm to boot. .... im using PN and flash kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Plz report back if u r successful. I will too try with DU tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
Sure. I'll be trying it soon. So, will report back.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hello2ew:
Do you happen to have issues flashing stuff over fastboot with F2FS enabled? Fastboot just doesn't respond after keying in the commands...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Like what? I flash this recovery via fastboot without any issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
Out of curiosity, have you rebooted into recovery and checked that the data and cache are on f2fs?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. Bootloop again. Whenever I flash the f2fs recovery, I always get a message of "unmodified system partition. Keep system read only etc. When I looked in recovery, data is not sticking but cache is showing f2fs. Flashed PN+Mini Dynamic gaaps+flash kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hello2ew:
Apologies, it worked after a reboot. Thanks!

Just checking, has anyone got F2FS working with stock factory image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Clean Flash Way

1.)Boot into Flashs TWRP

2.)Wipe, Dalvik/ ART Cache, System, Data, Cache

3.)Format Data ( The option where you have to type YES) See picture #1

4.)Change file system on Data to F2FS

5.)Change file system on Cache to F2FS

6.)Reboot recovery to make sure you changed file system to F2FS ( See picture #2 and #3)

7.)Flash F2FS compatible ROM( I used Resurrection Remix)

8.)Flash Gapps ( I used Mini Dynamic Gapps)

9.)Flash any other MODS you have Super SU, Viper4Arise etc. ( Skip if you dont)

10.)Flash F2FS compatible Kernel (I used Flash)

11.)Wipe Cache n Dalvik just in case, Reboot N Profit

12.) Reboot into recovery to make sure everything is still F2FS
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dude6595:
well...idk lol... :confused:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DorianX:
I tried this method with PN but the installation stuck at 10% (approximately)

Also tried installing everything like always on ext4, boot normally, reboot into recovery, format data, change file system for data and cache to f2fs then reboot but f2fs doesn't stick... Cache sticks but not data. I'll will try to do same installation process but will to flash SuperSU, Flash kernel after changing data/cache partition to f2fs wish me luck [emoji16]

Any other suggestion? By the way I want to do a clean flash (or the cleanest possible)

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Gd luck....lol....thats what worked for me. Do exactly as it says if you want it working. Pn and flash are F2FS compatible. So there is sometin wrong with your setup. Every phone is diff I guess.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jochem86:
Just to be sure, you didnt miss it... we dont have to do anything with this option: " *Check the use rm -rf instead of formatting" ?

I also wanna try clean install with PN... i've read plenty of people where this worked.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Thats only if you doing a restore of nandroid, that makes it so the ext4 backup doesnt format the data and cache from F2FS back to ext4.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xflowy:
how long should i wait for the initial boot to settle after switching file system. im on aosip and kernvatore.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] erikclaw:
So I tried this and did something wrong cause I booted with no OS. Had a usb OTG installed the files but never took. Had to back to stock, now I am rooted with 3.0.3.1 recovery. In root explorer I can see my Pure nexus rom, gapps, kernel etc in storage\emulated\0. When I boot into twrp my data says 0 and I cant see those files anywhere. Searched all over they are gone. but in file explorer they are there. wth. I also saw my data was in emmc instead of fat or ext4.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I'll need a recovery log to see what's going on (Advanced > Copy Log)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] erikclaw:
I went in to flash, no O system so I side loaded rom gapps etc, go to reboot and says no OS. I just changed them all to ext4 too...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] erikclaw:
I am pretty sure it is because my data is encrypted somehow. No matter what I do data stays encrypted. wipe and repair it etc and it always goes back to emmc. Can;t flash anything etc. If I could get su to show then I could root and hopefully get a new kernel .
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
I tried with RR rom and it worked. U should try that rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ahmed534:
stuck in bootloop in the google logo even when I revert everyting back to ext4 ! plz help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
That's good to hear. Steps mate?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jochem86:
On pure nexus only cache partition stays on f2fs and data doesn't stick to f2fs but I guess it's pure nexus problem. For people who want to know... You can just change it without reinstall rom or what ever...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spuri78:
I've been there plenty of times and I have always booted back to bootloader and started from the scratch i.e. flash google stock image+unroot etc.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ahmed534:
thks mate ! flashed factory images and it is ok now I can flash what I want like usual !

will not try f2fs thing anymore ! just waiting for my OP 3t :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Which somewhat ironically uses f2fs out of the box :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
What do you think of f2fs? Do you see a difference? I can't seem to notice it...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I do, everything is less jittery to me and apps open quicker for me.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Simple clean flash rom n gapps then change data to f2fs reboot profit. Rebooted 3 times f2fs sticks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ahmed534:
exactly :)

but still I cant figure out what I was doing wrong. I followed all steps, tried 2 differrent ROMs that supports F2FS, and still bootloop in google logo :/ the worst part is that event when I revert back and format data and cache partitions to ext4 still the same weird bootloop (factory image was the only option).

Anyway thks to you for all the efforts u r doing for the Angler forum. I am automatically confident when I see ur name ;)

[Nexus 6P Android Development] NOTilyass:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Capo99:
Difference between ext4 and f2fs

I have a question. File system f2fs is best than ext4? Sorry for my bad english.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No, stick with ext4
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Capo99:
Do u use f2fs? If yes ,why?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
The bootloop is caused when you flash SuperSU as it uses an ext4 boot.img. Flash your preferred kernel AFTER you flash SuperSU to avoid the bootloop effect. Make sure your kernel is updated with [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s patches though :p!

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

This is why: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/deve...fs-support-t3543450/post70792618#post70792618. I'ts got faster random write speeds and loads faster, it does take up more storage though. It's designed for the eMMC we have in our phones and therefore is better at long-lasting our devices while provided speed benefits. It's used by ALOT of Nexus 7 users to make their devices seem fast again. It's slightly unstable though, which is why it hasn't been used.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Nah I just made this thread because I felt like it lol.

But seriously, I do use f2fs but I understand what's it trying to do. Read the OP, do some research on ext4 and f2fs, and make an informed decision on whether or not you want to switch. I'm not here to hold your hand.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Capo99:
Okay, I sought advice because yesterday I passed a f2fs but had few incompatibility problem with some app and in the same moment I did not understand if it was really more reactive respect to ext4 so I wanted an opinion of one certainly more experienced than me. Thanks for the help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NOTilyass:
Can we try out your rom ?!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No. You can build it if you want but it is really tailored towards me (includes GApps, has my kernel presets, and some features enabled by default).

https://github.com/Flash-ROM/manifest
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ahmed534:
I know mate and thats what I did !

converted the data and cache partition to f2fs, format the data partition, flash compatible rom and gapps, flashh superSU and then Flash Kernel, but still got the bootloop. I even changed to ROM and still the same issue. Reverting back to ext4 also make bootloop. and when chekin back in recovery, the f2fs file system is not sticking to the data partition after the flashing process .the only way to boot was the factory image. [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] do you think this is caused by superSU? can I catch any log to see from where the bootloop is coming from ? thks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Logcat and dmesg
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Firstly, do a factory image of your phone. Boot or flash [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION]'s (;)) TWRP with f2fs. Then "change fs" to f2fs on both /data and /cache. DO NOT FORMAT ANYHTING. Flash all your ROM then SYETEM MODS (Gapps, and files that modify /system) then optionally type this into TWRP's terminal:

fstrim -v /vendor
fstrim -v /system
fstrim -v /data
fstrim -v /cache

After that, flash SuperSU SR3 (or the anything after that, preferably stable builds). THEN flash your kernel of choice (that contains [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]). Then any mods that aren't for system.

After that if u still have issues:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tdg2k15:
[MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] - any reason we can't get /system to F2FS? Pretty sure the OP3T is.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No, it doesn't, only on /data (not even /cache as far as I know).

f2fs on /system is a bad idea because /system is read only 99.9% of the time, which is better handled by ext4, since its read speeds are higher/more consistent. Because data and cache are both read and write filesystems, f2fs works fine for those.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minhgi:
Another caveat about system f2fs, all rom will reformat the partition to ext4 during clean or flash update. Unless a script was written to format in f2fs. That I have not seem on any Nexus 6p rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] justin1221:
I have the formatting box ticked in settings and I have clean flashed several roms and f2fs has survived.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minhgi:
Well I hope we on the same page since I am talking about the system partition being formatted in f2fs. If you have rom that capable, let me know and I would like to test it out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
It does work with /cache. At least I think it does. Although I've noticed TWRP has never showed me any usage in it... How can I test of cache is being used?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I mean OP3T doesn't use f2fs on /cache with OOS. I don't know though.

/cache is really only used OTA updates and some functions in recovery, it's not used much at all within the OS itself.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Doesn't the Play Store use it for updates?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
It's possible, not too sure
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Found this:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] webleeper:
Has this actually worked for folks using F2FS then switching from SuperUser to SuperSU?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Switching, I guess so. Bu after every SuperSU update a kernel flash is required I believe.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joelcool69:
Trying to install PN latest version with Franco r46 and after 1st boot /data keeps converting to ext4. Even with Flash kernel does the same thing. Maybe PN problem on latest release? Tried every single method in this post and nothing works :(

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] sudhashbahu:
I recently received a Xiaomi Mi 5 device and am unhappy with the stock MIUI (7.2.8.0 Global Stable) functionality.

My previous phone was a Moto E (1st Gen) and several years ago, I had flashed a custom ROM by [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] [from this thread].

What an amazing ROM that was. It provided an optimized version of the stock ROM that fully supported the hardware and provided a great base on which to add required Apps. I used it happily for years and my son still uses it.

I am looking for a Custom ROM for the Xiaomi Mi 5 that meets the following criteria:

1. Must be stable and supported

2. Must support all device hardware fully without losing functionality (example: IR blaster, NFC, fingerprint, 4-Axis OIS, VoLTE, ...)

3. Provide as close an experience to the standard Android OS it is based on as possible (example retain the great integration of the "OK Google" functionality)

4. As few Apps pre-installed as possible without compromising (2) and (3) above. But must include Google Play Store for a smooth way to install whatever apps (Google or otherwise) are needed later.

4. Clear instructions to install the ROM starting with a stock Mi5 device, using a Linux laptop. I am in to the "open source" movement and don't own a Windows device.

I have already spent a lot of time transferring 15 GB of my data to the device, so a way to update the new ROM without losing the data is desirable, but not a must-have.

Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions. Apologies if this thread turns out to be a duplicate.
