[Q] Help switching to f2fs format. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I have been going crazy reading links and such trying to figure out how
To convert my 2012 nexus 7 to this new file format and have not been successful at all.
I have searched so please don't use that as your answer. I am trying to find an easy way that
A two year old could follow. I have found were to get the ROMs so that's not a problem. It is just trying to convert.
Is there something someone has put together like a flashable version? Any help would be great!! Thanks in advance.
Also let me have your thoughts . If it really makes a difference switching to this... Thanks..

The most simplest way....and I mean simple, is to install multirom via play store. Once you boot into recovery, you click on one button and you're done. Mulitrom is awesome. If you don't know what it is, it basically dual or in my case triple boots into your system.I have 3 of the top ROMs all running f2fs and ilove it.
Good luck

Guide to load custom roms and perform nandroid backup?

I'm sorry but I have searched for that last 20 minutes in the Hero CDMA thread.. I can't seem to find a thread that explains what a recovery image is or how to even load it.. I came from windows mobile and it was pretty simple to load a rom, I'm hoping it's the same thing for android.
What I need:
if you guys can explain or link me to the following, it would be greatly appreciated:
Explanation on recovery images on how to load them
How to perform a back up
thank you guys...
I'm sorry, please delete this thread.. found what I was looking for.
It's always nice of you to tell someone else where you found it in case they come searching along and need it too.

It's not rocket sceince. Have a look @ the link below & download the file package under "Setup". If that package will work then you should be able to run Android on your phone. If you have already tried to run Android on your phone then something is probably a miss in the default.txt file. In the command line you need to make sure the "panel_type=1". If this particular Androind package works for you, then you can use the default.txt in other builds.

Are you trying to flash or run if off your sd? Have you read through all the threads. Hero builds can be a bit frustrating sometimes especially for beginners; at least in my opinion. Either way, Jamezelle's Nand Kit is how I flashed to that ROM. It comes with everthing you need.
Also, have you read this? It should answer all your questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603508
Good Luck!!!
I'm not insanely far if you really want to try. Warm Donut is the best one, honestly.

Always try searching the forum before asking a question. You will be surprised how many people ask the same questions.
For the time being, look in the Android Development forum, there are ICS custom ROMs for you to try.

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.
Can you help me? I've almost given it up :S
Thank you very much in advance whoever helps me!

I kept getting that on my first ever root attempt. Turns out it was my lead. Make sure it's the original lead. (mine was actually the original but it was faulty, did charge still though) hope this helps.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.
Teichopsia, I can't thank you enough man!! You helped me A LOT with that link
I've done this for the first time ever, and all went the way it should! Running ICS wooooo!
THANKS A MILLION TIMES!

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.

Well, anyway, thanks to both of you then

[Q] problem with bootanimations not working on gs5

Hi guys after rooting my ( gs5 sm-g900i ) I've been trying to install custom boot logos but ain't had much luck so far and this was using the bootanimation4u method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280 ) I've installed and flashed everything from the links provided and tried following instructions to a t am I possibly doing something wrong or is there a new method of doing this?
P.s I also apologize if there already is another thread that solves this but in my noob searching I wasn't able to find anything so mods please feel free to move this if need be.
As far as I know we are unable to change boot animations on the s5 because the method in that article creates them as a zip file but the new Samsung devices require a .qmg format for boot animations.

Need help to unbrick note 4!!

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot
now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

I wasn't asking for him to send me a private message or anything. I just wanted to know if he got it fixed or not before I spent my time writing all the steps out. I didn't feel the need to write out a really long response if he already got his phone fixed. He was the only other person that had the same problem as me. I'll gladly right out all the steps once I get home and get the time.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know
