TWRP-2.7.0.0 with "All-F2FS" support​
I have modified the standard TWRP recovery to work with F2FS partitions.
This is different from the previous recoveries that i published.
This is for "All-F2FS" that mean that /system, /cache and /data are formatted with F2FS.
Keep in mind that this can work only with a compatible kernel and ROM.
What is F2FS?
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.
Download:
FormatPartitions.zip: Here
TWRP-recovery img: Here
Chagelogs:
- 11/03/14: Initial release
Here are some explanations. Read them
Recovery has the usual red back key to remember you that you are using a F2FS-recovery.
If wiping /system and /cache and making a factory reset from Wipe menu doesn't work, use FormatPartitions.zip. (<- READ THIS)
Instead wiping /data is fine within the wipe menu.
To switch your /system, /cache and /data partitions to F2FS follow instructions:
Keep in mind that you will lose all the files on the memory of your N7.
You need:
- Two files you can download above (img and FormatPartitions.zip)
- A ROM with "All-F2FS" support (Like my SlimKat version)
(Or Make your ROM with Convert To F2FS)
- GApps (i think you want PlayStore.) Usual GApps. Slim AiO work well.
Copy a ROM with "All-F2FS" support to your N7
Copy GApps to your N7
Copy FormatPartitions.zip to your N7
Reboot in bootloader
Flash this recovery with Fastboot (Maybe Flashify works too)
Reboot in new recovery
Flash FormatPartitions.zip
Reboot recovery (It's needed for some reasons..)
Flash ROM
Flash GApps
Go to Wipe Menu and Format Data (Not a simple wipe)
Reboot
Done.
It's easier than it seems
To restore partitions to stock:
- Download a standard TWRP
- Download RestorePartitions.zip
Flash RestorePartitions.zip (Untested)
Flash standard Recovery
Format Data in Wipe Menu
Hope i dind't any errors writing this down. I personally tested this procedure.
Enjoy.
This is Awesome thxs for your hard work. And a few people where talking about have a Twrp that had all the partitions in f2fs and bam here it is.
Awesome work legolas!
So if I understand correctly, just having an f2fs-supported kernel isn't enough to run f2fs on all partitions? We need a modified ROM as well?
Also, are you going to make a modified TWRP 2.7 with MultiROM support?
Curious about which ROM has "All F2FS" support? Lego, did you modify one as such?

Yes. You need a modified ROM too.
Yes when i have some free time! As now this doesn't support MultiROM for the reason writed in OP.

I should have noticed your post with the ROM... Thanks!
Oh boy, legolas you have been mighty busy lately lol... Thanks for this hard work of yours.
Can non-devs manage to modify their ROM of choice or is this something only the ROM devs can manage?

I can verify that everything is working as advertised... Installed your modified files and am now up and running with F2FS.
I'll post if I run into anything odd.
[EDIT] Finished restoring all my apps and data. And it's blazing! Ran an ANTUTU benchmark test and scored a
14829 vs. 12726 of a stock Nexus 7!!!
And the here are the numbers for the Quadrant benchmark: 5748 vs. 3517 for stock... nice!!
Thanks again legolas!
Does the standard omni ROM will work with this? If not then where can I find a modified omni ROM? And where can we find modified gapps?

I believe users will have to ask their devs to provide a modified version of their ROM of choice. I'm going to give SlimKat a try with M-kernel here soon I think, just because legolas seems to be the only dev taking F2FS support seriously. I like that about him.
What is meant by "Normal Gapps"? I wasn't aware there was a Gapps considered not normal. There are only different versions of it. Can someone provide a link to "Normal Gapps" please? OP says in the play store but I do not find anything in the play store called normal gapps, or even gapps (although I did find something called Gapps Manager, hmmm). I normally use PA gapps or the latest CM gapps. Thank you
EDIT: Never mind, I just found that SlimROM's has their own version of Gapps, which seems to me to be the best choice if I am going to try SlimKat. lol

With "Normal" i mean the usual GApps you used (There are no need for some sort of special GApps..). Maybe "normal" can be a bit confusing.. :silly:

Ok, yeah that is a bit confusing, or at least the way you typed it is. Kinda made it seem like there was a different version I needed to look for, lol. So, normal is just what ever Gapps package you prefer to use? In other words, they should all work? Cool, thanks legolas... :good:

so that's the difference when all (system & data & cache) is in F2FS : 14k+ in antutu ? And a rom with just the data partition in F2FS got 13k+ ?

but anyone can compare antutu or quadrant score between All-F2FS rom and Data-F2FS Rom ?

In real world terms, that is all the difference you need. The only other way to get your OS's file system any faster is to replace it with a real ssd. Its simple really, F2FS was made for NAND, and EXT4 was not.
Ok, before I start all over can someone tell me how long the Google logo is supposed to stay on the screen please?Its been about 20 minutes now, so I am wondering if its upgrading android in the background but just not displaying it. lol
EDIT: Ok, 45 minutes later, I am giving up. Going to do it all a second time now.
EDIT2: 1 hour later. Got it working second time around. I guess this recovery does not like flashing all kinds of things at once. Just flashed Rom and Gapps and its booting apparently. Will flash the 3rd party kernel and MoAB later.

Link has been updated for the Modified TWRP. Now installing 2nd rom is breeze. External SD card is now supported..Works in E-973 Canadian Edition
Yipee..
How many of you like the Stock Rom from LG? I know..It is most of you. Me too. But the fact is I am also unable to live w/o the KITKAT! This has resulted numerous times of installing roms, losing important call logs/messages, and a lot of weird things that I dislike! These days are past, and I now use MultiROM to taste every new flavour I like!! I don't have to back up and restore the factory rom now!
I am sharing it to you too. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs.
Statutory Warning: It is your phone. Do not blame me for anything. I am not responsible for any harm you do to your device.
Thanks to all who are linked with MultiROM!
Now the detailed steps:
1. Install TWRP-2.6.3.0_For_KitKat
2. Backup your rom(in my case it is the stock one) with TWRP.
3. Install Carbon Rom as the primary rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52327519&postcount=217) I have not tried with other roms. But this rom comes with a kernel with kexec hardboot patch.
DU also works! Thanks to @Buscador
4. Install TWRP_2.7.0_MR_geeb
5. Now Install multirom_v22_UNOFFICIAL_geeb
6. Now Install any rom you like as your secondary rom. Reboot in Recovery --> Advanced -> MultiROM to install your rom. You can also select the backup that you performed in step 2.
The updated TWRP version supports ext SDCard. That means you can select the zip from SD card. Installing secondary rom in the extSD is not supported because of the slowness. In recovery go to Mount --> check external_sd to mount the externalSD card. Can any of you let me know if usb otg works in this recovery?
Working perfectly for E-973 Canadian version. Thanks to @Aceangel21 for confirming.:good:
Report if you face any difficulties.

Thanks so much. Got it to work with latest Carbon and I have MIUI on as the secondary ROM. Everything looks like its working, will report if there is anything amiss.
It works. I installed PA as my internal, and used the aktest kernel in the carbon thread. Then I was able to use miui as a secondary. So far so good

I installed Carbon as the internal ROM and then Mokee. I can boot to the internal ROM just fine but with Mokee I just get a brief flash of light every few seconds, and it never boots.
Edit: I reinstalled Mokee using the "Don't share" option for the kernel, and it booted. I have not been using it long enough to determine if it is stable.

That's great. We should not be sharing kernel. You can multiboot n number of roms literally. It seems I am moving to a stable stage with this. I will also be uploading the TWRP now with working sdcard support! Enjoy!
FireFox OS boots up!
You can now try firefox OS via multirom! It boots up. Camera is not working as of now. While installing, select the option "Share Kernel" in multirom. Download the latest FFOS build from Nexus 4 forum. Change the updater script to suit with geeb.
Mahdi also works--still using Carbon as the internal ROM.

Dirty Unicorns (the version built by mathsz) works as the internal ROM, and his XenonHD build works as a secondary ROM. Presumably, Dirty Unicorns also works as a secondary ROM.
Working perfectly for LG Optimus G E-973 Canadian Edition! Thanks a lot OP!
Axxion (with a Geeb MOD kernel) also works for both the internal and external ROM.
How do you uninstall multi-ROM?

Thanks for your time testing multirom with different roms. Regarding uninstalling this one, still I have not prepared a script. Actually I am busy configuring out the stock kk rom from Korean version to our device. Whenever I get some free time I will create and upload the zip for uninstalling multirom. Once again thanks for your effort.

Hello! Do you want to update your build of multirom and recovery (nexus 4 already has Multirom v26 and newer recovery)?
Greetings EARTHLINGS,
Thought Id have a play with the latest CM11s with F2FS with AK kernel. Works brilliantly and the whole rom feels much smoother. ART working real good (I dont suppose it will with xposed).
You need to format system, to f2fs to flash this rom as follows:
- philz recovery make this easiest
- format to f2fs system, then cache, then data and data/media
Because it easy and he always does an excellent job I used Calkulin's Stock Rooted XNPH44S as the base for this.
Anyhow, its nice to share so here it is.
here - AK75 or
here - AK77
No support, and in the event of problems its not my fault.
Have fun. and thanks ak and Calkulin for your usual brilliance.
The bad news - Please note coverting to F2FS will destroy your data, so make a full backup and copy it to your PC first.
The good news - If you are already using 44R on ext4 format
- make a full TWRP backup and copy to your PC.
- install this and any other scripts you want after you have reformatted to F2FS, philz is easiest for this step.
- copy your nandroid back to your phone
- restore your ext4 data (select only the data) to your new f2fs rom with TWRP.
HINT ABOUT RECOVERIES- I find using philz is good for the initial format, but TWRP is better for making and restoring backups. I use TWRP multirom as my daily now my OPO is converted to f2fs.
Please also note that any OTA will not work as the stock ROM is ext4. I will however update the ROM when an OTA occurs.
So this is a rom in that you put AK kernel there?

No, Its modified version for f2fs only. And this is the only difference between this and stock C11S.
Once you go to f2fs are we able to go back and use our ext4 backups and not lose anything really want to try but want to make sure I can go back to ext4 much alohas

Sorry not correct. This has a modified boot, incorporating AK77 and the necessary changes to make it work with F2FS, so its not stock. Functionally, its the same as stock.
Also true stock is not available as a flashable rom (yet), so rather than re-invent the wheel, I used Calkulin's 44R flashable rom as a base. As I understand it, this is stock apart from the necessary changes to make it a flashable version, along with SU being provided and not installing stock recovery.

Yeah..I understand, actually I am also a fan of f2fs system and using CrDroid in f2fs system with tyr kernel. But the thing is apart from kernel and updater script, there is no visible difference in both roms and technical terms make someone really difficult to understand whats going on.
Anyway, keep up the good work. I faced some problems with AK Kernel while incorporating with CrDroid f2fs but now I will give another try :laugh:

Cool,
Let me know when you have done it and Ill help test it. Multirom is a marvellous thing, and what the heck, one more rom isnt going to make any difference. Im permanently connected to my OPO and PC anyhow.
Flashed it yesterday. Working great so far.
Thanks a lot!
I flashed today, works everything except I haven't root. I have to flash supersu in recovery?
EDIT: yes, flashing through recovery works.
I have been working on grouper recently and I felt that there was a certain lack of a stock based kernel with only useful stuff and not custom features. There might be some users like me who haven't been able to customize their tablets much because of schedule and lego kernel hasn't been updated much recently. So I have made a kernel for Lollipop with only required stuff.
Some points to note(they can't be called features)-
Compiled using latest Linraro 4.9 optimized for Cortex A9
Kexec support
All-F2FS support
GPU overclock(franco's method)
Optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
Entropy tweaks
Agnostic kernel flasher
SuperSU compatible
Download- http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=6701#downloads for boot.img
and http://d-h.st/2bYP for agnostic kernel flasher zip
Note- boot.img is only for All-F2FS partition users while zip can be used for all partition types(ext4, data-F2FS, all-F2FS).

What steps did you follow? I tried the same and got stuck at boot.
Which root way did you follow? Chainfire or permissive?
I am running rooted factory image on ext4. I flashed the zip, got positive feedback of the boot.img installing, rebooted, saw one app optimizing on boot. But when I go to settings.device the kernel still reports the stock name and in trickster I see the same with no evidence of any new gpu customizability. Thanks.

I am also wondering, how did you convert a Lollipop ROM to All-F2FS? With the 'Convert To F2FS' App from the Play Store? Does it work with 5.0?
Or is all i need flashing a Lollipop ROM on my F2FS device and then this kernel and it will boot?
also can i use this kernel on tilapia? I know i can't use grouper ROMs but never bothered with Kernels until now.

Actually if you flash a grouper version of twrp you can use grouper ROMs on a tilapia. You just lose 3g.

This is a stock rom but at this second its not fully worked. 1.1 is about 50MB smaller than 1.0 which can be up to 50MB more free ram. Its just ment to be the smallest stock rom with nothing removed.
Are there kernel tweaks with this ROM? Wondering what I would lose as far as tweaks, if I decide to use Kylo kernel or something else.

So no need to flash a vendor.img or chainfires boot.img?

If we go by your most generic useless help.......I followed the op directions:
Install How To:
Download Rom
Reboot to the Recovery
Do a FULL WIPE: Dalvik, Cache, System, Data
Flash the Rom
Boot Up last night and guess what I boot looped on Google screen.
So if you dont have answers to a simple question like if we need an image flashed also, do yourself a favor and dont reply

Sorry guys I have been doing photoshoots all weekend I'll get a link to a vender.img and updated how to.
Hey XDA!
This is just a quick build of AOSP Nougat that I though I should upload and share. It's just pure AOSP with a modified fstab and a bunch of the useless apps removed. While it does boot, the main problem is that there aren't any gapps available, so there is little functionality.
Instructions:
1. Flash vendor.img
2. Flash ROM zip
3. Boot up
Downloads:
Unofficial vendor.img: http://oceighty.co/ Created and uploaded by @xanaxdroid
ROM zip: https://basketbuild.com/ Build and uploaded by me.
DISCLAIMERS:
I'm not responsible for any mishaps you have.
This is simply a courtesy upload, do not expect updates.
The vendor.img was pulled from the OTA and is not an official factory image.
is it rooted?
The latest TWRP version functions with Android N, it now correctly decrypts the phone (yes, I'm aware this ROM is pre-decrypted). You can flash SuperSU through that and then download most of the needed GApps from APKMirror, I know Android N preview GApps were uploaded there.
confused... so I could just flashed this like a regular rom? would my internal disk erase? is this rooted?
you guys need to read the OP and stop asking senseless questions
"It's just pure AOSP with a modified fstab and a bunch of the useless apps removed"
Lol, this is why I wish rooting wasn't just a click away. I miss the old days where you actually had to know what you were doing to root the damn thing like actually being familiar with adb I doubt half the people that root haven't used shell period. Point being that the people that did it knew the ins and outs of what they were doing and there wasnt all this clutter. people used to actually do the time to research and educate themselves on what was going on now it's all entitlement give me give me i don't understand oh blah blah won't work fix it for me anyway this isn't helpful or constructive please delete goodnight

Interesting ROM. :good:
Opengapps.org should have 7.0 gapps very shortly. The August 24th build for arm has 7.0, but 8/24 hasn't built for arm64 yet.

Why do people prefer decrypted roms, what is the advantage?

One reason should be faster "iops" I presume.

That was fast, OP your pic looks alot like this dude.
Hm okay I see, thanks.
Can I encrypt it again if I want to?
Also I thought the Source of Android N is not released yet (delevopers.google.com) so where is this source from exactly?
.. Okay I just looked it up. So is there a difference between this one and the official OTA update? I really want to flash another ROM because my Dirty Unicorn is just a mess at the moment.

Faster boot, slightly faster I/O (although there isn't too much of a difference).
Thank you for the answer.
Can someone confirm that flashing the lastest SuperSU beta works? http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
So basically flashing this ROM + Vendor + ARM64 GApps + SuperSU = Android N, decrypted, rooted, with gapps?
How'd you even build this? I synced r1 and tried a build last night and it wouldn't build (for the 6p). The website doesn't show 6p as included in r1 yet

Not really, no. The ROM isn't technically decrypted at all. It just doesn't force encryption. So if you were encrypted prior to flashing you would still be encrypted. The only way to decrypt is to format userdata. The advantage of a ROM not forcing encryption (or being incorrectly labelled as decrypted in this case) is that if you were previously decrypted the kernel won't encrypt your storage on the first boot.
