New File System By Samsung - XPERIA X8 General

a new Linux file system from Samsung that is faster than existing ones when running on flash storage devices, submitted in a clean, easy-to-apply manner. This will be great for Android-based systems.

Look at this.. XDA users are on the case already!
I like the idea behind this filesystem!

As the OP of the thread said, it is possible but we would need a new recovery and edit the kernel to add F2FS (that's the name, right?) formatting and detecting support. What I'm confused about is whether or not we are gonna need USB drivers if we use this. Please explain.

Is this lwn.net/Articles/518718/ what you're talking about?

I dont have a single ideea what f2fs means but i smell nAa-15 kernel.

Hmm, interesting... wonder what advantages it has compared to YAFFS2.

i guess efficient flash storage, that is if Sammy doesn't screw it up like they did with RFS.
i hope it's good. i also hope it can be made to work with the X8.
fingers crossed.

We can get this working on the x8.. It's just a matter of compiling it into the kernel, editing the ramdisk and recovery.
Kernel & ramdisk bits are really simple..
I haven't found yet what needs to be edited in the recovery. Anyone any leads on this?
This will give us much higher sd read & write with less overhead so the sdcards will last much longer and will fragment less.
They don't have a fsck for it yet but it has full logging and journaling..

Can even choose to only convert system and data and leave bootimage/recovery as is.

yes but when you format a system based on the new FS, you need to have a recovery that supports it.
@CtrlAltDelIrl
then compile a kernel that supports it as soon as Samsung releases it's source (it is open source, right?)

So the kernel in recovery needs to support it, problem solved.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

yes but the recovery binary that we have in the kernel is compiled from a regular CM tree and settings have to be changed there (not sure which) before compiling the binary. maybe nAa, alfsamsung, CtrlAltDelIrl, other devs or a team of devs can come up with one such recovery and kernel.

It is not that hard, when you have that kernel compiled and in device sources (or build it during the progress like we do on LG P500) you can build a recovery which supports it.

[WIP] ICS Android 4.0.1 I9000 ROM from sources

I thank nikademus for creating the kernel for us in first place.
And a general thanks to the rest of the people in this thread that helped in this.
AFAIK the boot.img for SGS is different from boot.img of other phones. To decompile boot.img dsixda kitchen is used. It gives an error for our phones when we try to extract the contents of boot.img "Android header not found"...the file doesn't get extracted. Thats the problem.
May be a decent developer can guide us at this point??

[MOD] suggestion for a webtop solution on AOSP/CM/AOKP

I found this tread that makes an install of Linux on every mobilephone, could this be usefull?? I am not a developer but I think this thing belongs to Development, if not I am sorry and ask mods to move this.
So what you want to do is install webtop as a linux OS on the atrix?
I think its not posible...but maybe Im wrong
from the (m)ATRIX...

This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot',

As far as I know, this is already available for the Atrix's webtop since forever ago, through debian chroot (and possibly webtop2sd).

I know, but I posted the link here so that maybe some devs could possibly integrate it into a ROM so that when you connect the phone to tv/dock it boots automatically into linux distro!
It doesn't work like that. You have to actually start the hardware side of things on the tegra2 chip, it has nothing to do with the chroot linux distro, which is very old news (and all the devs know about it). What you essentially have to do is code the x session to send itself over the seperate hdmi output frame buffer, which also has to be triggered and deactivated properly.
No developer has been interested in really trying it. Jokersax was working on it at one point in CM9, but scrapped it due to upstream changes that broke his code.
This doesn't really belong in this section, and I've given you the actual reason why there's more to this than you think. Also, as I said, everyone knows about running linux on android in this fashion, as it's a very old project at this point.
Yup, chroot methods won't help a bit

The gingerbread webtop is a hack by Motorola. Even tho is a linux distribution its tightly woven into android libraries. This libraries without source can't be added into cm7.
Cm9 is different. Ics is capable of switching to tablet mode. Offering a better option than just plain locked down linux. We shall see.

[Q] Building OmniRom from resources for i9100

Yup. There are two MAJOR blockers right now:
1) We haven't merged and tested the implementation of BOARD_SUPPRESS_EMMC_WIPE yet. So if someone were to build for a Superbrick-vulnerable device, they would have a a build that risks triggering Superbrick. While I normally don't like having moderators take down builds for something, if I see builds for Superbrick-vulnerable devices show up, I'm going to work with the mods to have them taken down until EMMC wipe suppression can be verified.
2) The build system needs some changes to permit TWRP to be built on userdebug builds. Right now, the only way you'll have a chance of working recovery is with an eng build.

No, because it could still cause damage if flashing from an old "unsafe" kernel (see the first few CM10 builds as an example...). These are far rarer now than they used to be, but there are, believe it or not, occasionally people who are flashing stuff starting from TW ICS.
And CWM has tentacles throughout the CM source tree to get it to build. It requires too many hacks in too many places. TWRP is more standalone, the limitation being that on devices with standalone recovery, Dees_Troy always built using the "eng" variant instead of "userdebug".
There's a patch that allows for TWRP to build properly on userdebug using "make recoveryimage" but it fails to allow building of TWRP into unified-recovery devices like Sony pollux_windy/yuga. (Samsung requires even more hacks...)
Even the Sonys which are "sort of" working aren't ready for builds yet - for them to work they're dependent on the FOTAKernel trick Dees_Troy developed to allow for alternate recoveries to be put on a device.
Does the above apply also to the i9100g? It has an OMAP4 processor instead of Exynos so it should be easier to build for.

I'm fairly certain the G has unified kernel/recovery just like most of the rest of the galaxys2 family (exception being the Qualcomm-based ones).
So it might build, but recovery will not function at all until the build system is fixed to properly support TWRP on devices with unified kernel/recovery.
It has nothing to do with Qualcomm vs. OMAP vs. Exynos, except that for whatever reason, Samsung actually allowed the recovery partition to serve its normal purpose on the Skyrocket and Hercules. Actually, the Straight Talk variant of the SGH-I777 might work, as that oddball device actually DID use its recovery partition.

No. Read following for explanation.
dhiru1602 said:
Blobs are userspace components which correspond to the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). It is this layer which is responsible for communication between the kernel and the operating system. GPU kernel driver is opensource, but the GPU HAL is closed source. This is the case with all the devices, but on our device, much more components of the HAL are closed source like FIMC, FIMG, HWJPEG, TVOUT. Samsung doesn't release the source code for this components because it doesn't necessarily have to. Without the source code, we are forced to use the compiled binary which may or may not work properly. Since we are left without options, we often mess around with the Android framework, making dirty hacks to get them to work. We will not be able to futureproof our device with newer versions of Android unless we have the source code since making edits on compiled binaries is not possible and hence we have to wait for official releases so that we could get newer binaries (blobs). Here is the list of all the blobs that we use on our device. Having proprietary code is not uncommon, but Samsung doesn't release the source code for essential parts of the OS like Graphics subsystem, OMX and DSP, which makes things more complex provided there is no documentation for the SOC, nor they are wiling to help developers.
