Hello guys

I want to use f2fs but I see you are saying that I will format data while the OP says that this won't format your data

Also the f2fs tools zip is confusing me as it says everytime you enter twrp to format data to f2fs !

I am currently on crdoid with its stock kernel

I want to update crdroid to latest and moves to f2fs and use this kernel as well as KEEPING MY DATA

I am already unencrypted and I flash dfe every vendor update

1. So is it doable for me without formating my data ?

2. Does it matter if I am using official twrp or the unofficial ?

3. Will the twrp backups and restore have any impact after going to f2fs ?

4. Guys that moved to f2fs , did u feel any difference than ext4 ?

Thanks for your answers in advance
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Olystem:
Changing The File Format To F2FS Will Erase Your User Data.

And then if you want to flash another ROM .You can Flash The ROM Without Formating Data.

Just Wipe Dalvick Catch Data System.

Flash The ROM Zip Files In The End Flash F2FS Zip Reboot To System.

If you are flashing stock MiUi 10 Or Oxygen OS Flash DFE For The Encryption fix.

Then Flash F2FS Zip.

So You Can Able To Boot The ROM.

Always Make A Backup Of Your All Personal Data.

In Case of Formating User Data.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Well, formatting your data to partition WILL ERASE the data on your storage since it will format it to another filesystem. That being said, i use official TWRP simply because it is far more stable for me. As for real-world usage, I can hardly tell the difference, but when you talk about write speeds, it is significantly better. For instance, if I backup my apps using Titanium backup, the backup finishes in 6 mins compared to 11 mins on EXT4.

If you want to use F2FS, your best bet would be to backup your data on your PC first. What I usually do is:

1. Format data (where you type yes in the Wipe section), then press home button, Reboot->Recovery

2. Go to Wipe, Wipe Internal Storage, Dalvik, Cache, System, Data. After that is done, connect your phone to your computer and copy over the F2FS tools for twrp then flash it. Press the home button, go to wipe, put a check on Data then select "Change File System". From there, select F2FS, swipe to confirm. Once that is done, press home button again, select Reboot->Recovery.

3. At this point, your data partition is already set to F2FS which means that you can then proceed to flash your custom rom of choice. The way I do it is:

Vendor+Firmware-->Custom ROM--> Gapps--> F2FS stab--> Custom Kernel (you can skip this part if your custom ROM already supports F2FS. But for the purpose of this article, I will flash arter's kernel), Reboot. And that is it! You should use Migrate or Titanium backup to return back to the original state. Enjoy the pawah, my friend!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shouk_1987:
Thanks a lot dude, Yes my apologies , now i understand that changing the Filesystem of a specific partition will need to format it, same as removing encryption

Just like old days of Paragon partitioning of Hard disks ( the era where 4GB hard disk was a large and expensive one :D )

now the important question which partitions to be converted to f2fs , I think it should be both /system and /data , Correct ?

Also your 1st point of format data is not important as you already wiping all partitions in 2nd step, please correct me if i am wrong
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Nope, you would still need to format data as it is different from the wiping feature in TWRP (Format data also erases the vendor as well). Anyway, format only the /Data partition and nothing else. Formatting others might produce errors and headaches. Just the /Data will do.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shouk_1987:
Thanks for your clarifications

Then no escape from data copying to pc and vice versa

I have the 256G version and I have a lot of data and MTP is not that reliable and slow :(
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Once you get the hang of it, doing it is easy, mate. Been doing it ever since arter introduced F2FS about two weeks ago and I have no problems at all.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] trax7:
Thanks! I don't use Twitter so I couldn't have seen this by myself. :)

What if I just want to change ROMS or dirty update the one I use? Do I have to re-flash the f2fa tool? Because I know I'll need to re-flash the vendor before updating
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Flash the fstab after vendor flash without wiping anything.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raptorskate:
So: Wipe Cache, Dalvik, System. Install: Vendor, ROM, Gapss fstab?

That way I'm not gonna lose any data, right?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
If ur just updating ur ROM, just flash rom and gapps. Fstab is only flashed whenever u use a new vendor.

You can backup your data in ext4 convert to f2fs then restore your data using an option in twrp that doesn't change your partition back to the format it was originally backed up in, i did exactly this and lost nothing.

Hallo,

I am using your kernel and Syberia Os. Can I flash these two files to enable f2fs storage without need to format or install Os and kernel again from the start?

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Since you are basically formatting ur data partition to f2fs, you ARE going to lose data. However, if you backup ur OS in twrp and transfer it to ur computer, you will be able to restore it with ur data partition turned into f2fs. There is a guide a few pages back, I suggest you read it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mihailo032:
Than you,I read it but there says when done converting to f2fs you must install vendor and rom and gapps so practicaly everything from scratch,but I want to backup my whole rom and just restore it with twrp,is that possible?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:

Yes,thats the one.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Basically, you create a nandroid, , copy the twrp folder to ur computer, change the data partition to f2fs, go to settings and check the 3rd option, then click restore and u should be good.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
I think he only meant that if you want to clean install the ROM. But you can actually just use the restore feature, to be honest.

Can I use Orange recovery or it must be TWRP?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
I don't know mate, I haven't tested Orange Recovery. But, I think that they are very similar in functions. You may want to disable the automatic DFE in Orangefox tho as it may have conflicts with arter's fstab.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PetritH:
I haven't disabled that, and it didn't conflict.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Edikuun:
So if I ever do this, should I flash fstab.zip first then restore everything, or the other way around?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Restore first then fstab after. Also, you want to flash fstab whenever you update the vendor.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raptorskate:
I really like this Kernel, along with the GPU Rendering module and the Universal GMS Doze, I get incredible idle battery time and SOT as well. My only issue with it is that I play Pokemon Go and when I try to use Calcy IV which uses Overlay app, it doesn't work.. only with this Kernel, I hope the Dev does something about it or maybe a workaround? But if you don't use anything like that, you should use it.

Have you tried simple kernel?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Hemphiz:

Edit. Doesn't seem to have vibration control
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Edikuun:
I've been switching back and forth between the two. I usually get better SoT using simple kernel 3.1. The performance is somewhat equal. Didn't look into vibration control since I usually don't mind having it.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Maybe you're doing it wrong. You have to do it like this:

Format Data-->reboot to Recovery. From there, do the necessary wipes for clean installation (wipe system, dalvik, cache, and data. Deleting the Internal Storage would also be good). After that, transfer f2fs tools for twrp then flash it. Press the home button and then go to Wipe-->Check Data-->Change/Repair File System-->Choose F2FS--> then Swipe to confirm. After that, go to settings and check the 3rd one (-rf). Reboot to Recovery again.

At this point, you need to install it this way:

Vendor+Firmware-->Custom ROM-->Gapps-->Fstab-->Kernel (any kernel that supports F2FS), then reboot system. That should fix all of the bootloops.

I'm sorry to say but I too have come across this issue, and it got resolved immediately after switching the kernel. Google assistant simply refuses to turn on "Ok Google" detection.

I'm using Havoc OS, and the most recent update mentioned some changes to enable ok Google detection while the screen is off. Maybe that is where the problem is? This never happened on an older build of the ROM. I hope whatever the issue is it's fixed because the Arter kernel is my personal favourite.

A yuge beta kernel is up.

It should be a daily driver material, I'm marking it as a beta just in case a major issue slipped that I didn't notice.

As always, make a back-up!

Encryption now works with f2fs, albeit with a huge caveat: TWRP may not be able to read /data.

More info: http://arter97.com/browse/f2fs/encrypted

The procedures for using FBE with f2fs is the same as before, just use the new zip files to format to f2fs.

You must re-format if you want to use encryption.

This kernel is now mostly VLA-free too. VLA(Variable-Length Array) causes performance regression and may expose potential security holes under the Linux kernel. I've managed to get rid of VLA by porting mainline commits and patching some Qualcomm code myself.

afaik, I'm the first one to do this on XDA. Spread the word and encourage other developers to get rid of VLAs as well :)

More info regarding VLA: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Kills-The-VLA

Note with Poco: The kernel isn't entirely VLA-free since I couldn't test with a device. The kernel is mostly VLA-free. Sole exception exists at the camera drivers: https://github.com/arter97/android_...mmit/78e4107d4eaf63f9508069b8c54c12f8af9920e0
