[Q] F2FS How to? topic

Hello guys.
Google couldnt help me :confused:

I want to test f2fs on our device, but I dont know how to do this. I cant find a twrp 2.8 recovery...
So I have two questions:
1. How to switch/reformat the filesystem (for example with greatdevs kernel)?
2. Should I do this? (I also read it might be unstable :confused: )

Thanks guys! :)

What are the benefits of using f2fs? topic

I changed my s4 i9505 over to f2fs to flash lollipop, but I have no idea why f2fs differs, or what the benefits are. Is it supposed to be faster?

I'm using Antaresone's unofficial cm12, and its lightning fast, and I've not unearthed any bugs, and a couple of bugs that have been mentioned don't exist on my install, so I'm a happy guy. Loving lollipop, definitely the best version of android that I've ever used, and I've flashed a huge amount of ROMs on different Samsung Galaxy series phones. Android definitely heading in the right direction I think.

But yeah, f2fs... Anyone know anything about it?

[RECOVERY & KERNEL ][F2FS] Support for f2fs topic

Hey guys,
i modify recovery and kernel to work with f2fs :)

- Recovery is Philz recovery with NULL kernel
- Kernel have modified fstab to mount f2fs partitions

I don't own the kernel, Kernel has been compiled by mdfzhi.
I only changed mountpoints and some bugs to get it work.

But it have modified fstab:
- cache is mounted in /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 as F2FS
- preload is mounted in /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 as EXT4
- data is mounted in /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 as F2FS

I switched it because f2fs require at least 200MB partition and cache have only about 100MB and preload about 300MB. - It will boost performance

Requirements:
- Nokia X
- installed system (like CM11, PAC etc.)

Installation:
0, THIS WILL CLEAR YOUR USERDATA AND CACHE, not SDCARD
1, download zip and unpack it
2, flash kernel and recovery with fastboot dont use flashify it will brick your phone
3, boot into recovery, it will get some errors like /data and /cache wont mount - just ignore this, it will work later
4, connect your phone to pc
5, run formater.bat or formater.sh - we must format this from pc because is ext4, after this is complete you can format data and cache from recovery (f2fs)
6, reboot and enjoy

If you found any bugs, tell me
