Hi
The f2fs thread is not up to date and has broken links.
Can anyone list some f2fs ROMS and kernels, kitkat or lollipop that i can try out?
Thanks

Interested as well. Did you ever manage to install Lollipop with F2FS?

I did actually but you'll need an f2fs compatible kernel like sabermod Franco kernel.
Everyone says you need an f2fs compatible ROM but that has not always been my experience. I've used it with just an f2fs kernel and it worked.
I no longer use f2fs though. I use ext4 with journaling off. I understand it is the same thing and my phone is just as snappy.

I don't know but f2fs reformats a partition and it seems he's having problems getting it formatted correctly again.

see i ll try to explain ... when we r talking abt F2FS that needs only the kernel support . also under F2FS only the /data partition is formatted as F2FS ( atleast for mirage and slim kernel ) .... for using the hellsdoctor r29 u need to format both /cache and /data as F2FS ...of course its done using a special recovery ..( i m assuming u know abt that ) ...
BUT when it comes to All-F2FS , the /system ,/ cache and /data all three are to be formatted under F2FS (thats why called ALL-F2FS) .. it also needs a special twrp recovery other than f2fs one ....
for the time being all-f2fs is quite disadvantageous because u ll lose rom support ... unlike f2fs ,, ALL-F2FS needs both rom and kernel support ... and currently only slimkat has one all-f2fs supporting rom .... so better stick with just F2FS ...
p.s. i am myself running Purity ROM + hellsdoctor r29+F2FS

Hello!
So CM11 Nightlies have F2FS support. TWRP 2.8.0.1 supposedly (I cant get it to work) has support for it as well. I heard that TWRP requires an F2FS kernel in order for the option to format to F2FS to appear.
Now, Are there any F2FS kernels available for AOSP ROMs? Is there a way to change filesystems to F2FS right now?
Thanks for any help!

Not sure if its available for the g2, but even if it was i think itd a bit too risky for you to transform into it, it could lead into bad bricking. you wouldnt notice a speed difference neither! slower phones like the MOTO G, NEXUS 4, GALAXY NEXUS all go faster, but for a device already so fast, you wont tell a thing.
but each to their own, try it if you really want!

Oh.
I already moved everything off my phone.
Anyways, CM!1 nightlies dont boot after the F2FS compatability. Is there anything I can do to make it work?
Is there any all F2FS rom with Lollipop?
I'm looking for those for a while. or my only chance would be creating one?
Did anyone been able to convert Lollipop to F2FS?
Thanks!

There are several roms around here that people use with f2fs, for example have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57061067&postcount=40 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57058651&postcount=2855
As we know f2fs is the new optimized filesystem with 12 new patch ported by sources
it could improve performance by 2x as arter97 said.... But the problem is that there isnt a recovery with f2fs option
anyone can create one?
Watch the speed video of one plus 3 with ext4 and f2fs when opening asphalt 8 !!

The newest version of the official TWRP has the f2fs option, but as far as I know, all ROMs are still require/recommend ext4.

yes its true but i have used f2fs for long time and i never had a performance issue
i can say that performance increase with f2fs , especcially when opening games!
so i only want the OPTION TO SWITCH YO F2FS, nothing more!
anyone is responsible for everything that do on our phone!
I only had troubles with f2fs. yes the performance is nice, but don't be surprised when your system doesn't boot up anymore after a few months (happened to me twice, once on vacation without access to a laptop ) never happend with ext4. can be coincidence but I don't trust f2fs anymore

This exactly happened to me too while I was with F2FS on my older Galaxy S4, and also exactly while I was on vacation, F2FS can't be trusted anymore to either. But I got to admit, the performance boost is nice
Hi,
I'm using a rom based on OOS (xXx). I'd like to test F2FS for my system partition, is this possible with OOS? Each time I flash a ROM, system is coming back to EXT4.
Thanks a lot.
F2fs on system is not supported with oos ROMs I believe. I'm not sure about los based roms

It is indeed. Tried F2FS to many times and it's always causing issues after a few months. EXT4 is rock solid and the way to go

i can absolutely confirm this.. I came from a bad experience with f2fs as for now, ext4 is 10 way the best
Op3t has f2fs and it gave me no problems. I don't understand why they dropped it with the 5! Using f2fs on system partition is quite useless, no files are being written to that partition, ext4 is better in this case
I try use F2FS partition on my OnePlus 3T and everything smooth, no issue.
But when i use on OnePlus 5, got some little problem, such like cannot choose picture to upload on Instagram.
Honestly F2FS faster than EXT4 but F2FS still buggy, unstable i think and EXT4 stable hahaha
Wonder why on 3T, OnePlus using F2FS and on 5 using EXT4 -_-
There is still hope for f2fs. As arter97 from aospa team has a possible fix for the f2fs performance issues we might see later this year. But as for now its recommended to use ext4 on all partitions as it is more stable and doesnt get laggy after long usage.
Thanks a lot for your answers! I'm on f2fs only on data, I'll see if I have any trouble due to instability. For now I'm really happy w/ it 784.62 MB/s and 220.08 MB/s for reading and writing speed

Want to try the last beta with f2fs and just want to know if it still enough stable and fonctional ? And if I switch only for data or other partition ? I have see somewhere that with Oreo f2fs had a better support and I don't know if I need a special kernel or no ?
