[Rom][Linaro][All-F2FS][28-05-2014] Resurrection Remix v5.1.3 - Nexus 5 Android Development

Hey guys what's up
I just wanted to post this to make it easier for people moving to the F2FS scene.
The rom is officially from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...m-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2706610
But then with the All-F2FS included with a custom kernel.
First of all this will wipe your Cache, System and Data partition.
If you're feeling not really safe formatting all these partitions to a different format because it might bricks orsomething just get a USB stick and your good to go
The thing with F2FS is that it requires the ROM to be compatible but also the Kernel.
If the kernel is not supporting it but the ROM is then Cache will not be mounted! or your kitten will be eaten
First download all the requires files from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!JJZgAJpa!cWSnKkKJtldaIianGisyuV7OQ9vp4Lpje4PFQUTvX8Y
The .rar contains the following:
boot.img <- custom boot.img if not flashed it will not boot!
FormatPartitions-mako <- thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...t/recovery-twrp-2-7-0-0-f2fs-support-t2746030
linaro.Kernel-nightly-r51-linaro <- custom kernel provided by http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ernel-linaro-kernel-r32-3-4-76-4-4-2-t2527130
openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hammerhead-All-F2FS-2.img <- TWRP with F2FS support
pa_gapps <- just the google apps, made no modifications to it
Resurrection_Remix_KK_v5.1.3-20140526-hammerhead <- the ROM, repacked with F2FS
fastboot-windows <- Provided by ChainFire
Ok so when you have that downloaded let's begin shall we :victory:
1. Backup your SD Card data to your pc as this will get wiped!
2. Copy all the files you downloaded to your internal sd card.
3. Go into the bootloader (hold volume lower + power)
4. On your pc Open CMD and go to the Fastboot directory
5. Now type "fastboot-windows flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hammerhead-All-F2FS-2.img", file not found ? drag/drop the TWRP recovery
6. Wait for it to show DONE, now reboot into recovery
7. Flash the FormatPartitions.zip, from this point it will format your Cache and System to F2FS
8. Reboot again but in recovery, do NOT do a simple reboot/shutdown or reboot into system as this will keep bootlooping untill you've reformated or flashed stock rom
Flashing part, do NOT wipe cache/dalvik etc!
9. Flash Resurrection_Remix_KK_v5.1.3-20140526-hammerhead.zip
10. Flash pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140517-signed.zip
11. FLash linaro.Kernel-nightly-r51-linaro.zip
12. Go back to the main menu and hit the wipe button, now do a Data Partition Wipe (button at the right) and type in "yes" and hit enter, it will now Format your Data partition to F2FS
13. Now reboot into Bootloader, hitting excidently reboot to system ? turn the phone off and reboot into bootloader
14. Now let's flash the boot.img to fix the bootloops, or you must be a lover of the startup animation :victory:
15. Go back to your CMD and type in "fastboot-windows flash boot boot.img", file not found ? drag/drop the boot.img
16. Well at this point you're able to reboot and say hello to F2FS with linaro :victory:
17. When booted simply follow the installs steps or just keep pressing continue...
18. Go into settings -> developer options, scrolldown and switch from DALVIK to ART, will even speed it up more :victory:
If you're afraid you can't go back to EXT4 (official), no worries you can go back to EXT4 by flashing the stock rom/firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701?
The boot.img provided above is only for CM/CAF roms and shall not be used on different rom's like AOSP !
I hope you liked this tutorial, have fun :good:

umm... did i even test this..? cos its just impossible to boot with linaro kernel.
It doesnt support f2fs and the most important part is its a kenel meant for AOSP not for CM/CAF which u stated as the ROM to be.
And exchange step14 with step11. Flashing AOSP kernel on CM based ROM is causing the bootloop.
And for step16, if u really got linaro to boot on cm based rom u must be GOD.

Uploading now a different repacked version, accidently uploaded my wrong build of the rom
But no clue for the AOSP kernel (on kernel thread it stated CM), It booted for me and it's sooo fast :victory:
Re-uploaded the files, please try this

Oh yea it says CAF My bad. But its impossible if u dont mod the ramdisk and just download it from the original thread as it doesnt support f2fs (now dont say "in the thread its written f2fs supported")
Im just saying to cause less confusion for the ones who r not used to f2fs

I repacked the rom, check the thread and the download also contains the rom which is repacked to work with f2fs
This thread was pretty much to make it easy for those people so I rather not upload a non repacked version hah

Rom doesnt matter. Yes it matters but read again. Im not stating anything about the rom. The thing im trying to convince to u is that the kernel just wont work if u download it from the original thread as u stated the link to the original linaro kernel thread

That's true which even I noticed, that why you have to flash the boot.img to make it work again
Everything is included in the download above from MEGA so following the steps should simply work

.... flashing that boot.img will just remove all linaro kernel stuff and itll just end up with flashing boot.img (which i suppose its dennes544 cm kernel)
Just take a screenie of the about phone (Kernel Version).
and did u build the rom again with linaro toolchain, or just put [Linaro] in ur thread title cos it involves in flashing linaro kernel?

I agree with you.
Just tried and found that the ROM don't support f2fs all.
Converted the ROM and used charizardx caf f2fs all with no boot.
There is some thing wrong with your ROM man.

If you follow the steps correctly it should just boot, try following my thread first before making changes :angel:

I'm using f2fs 4 month ago, converted dozen rom to work with f2fs.
Used all kernel with f2fs support.
Why this rom cannot be converted, there is some thing wrong.
For you knowing :
- i converted original rom from original thread
- no linaro with caf and f2fs
- ART is broken on f2fs
Good day, my last post in this thread

Just bring the post down. U lack basic knowledge such as flashing a kernel.
U just taking others work and posting it.
And still my questions r not answered.
I wonder if u really tested it urself.
Pls post a screenshot of ur about phone running with linaro r51v3. Cos its not possible from the first place.
Ur thread title is also an error. Its not the kernel that u can just put [Linaro]. U have to complie the ROM with linaro toolchain again. If u meant it that way anyone can post others ROM and linaro kernel saying as linaro ROM which just don't make sense..
