What are the benefits of using f2fs?

I changed my s4 i9505 over to f2fs to flash lollipop, but I have no idea why f2fs differs, or what the benefits are. Is it supposed to be faster?
I'm using Antaresone's unofficial cm12, and its lightning fast, and I've not unearthed any bugs, and a couple of bugs that have been mentioned don't exist on my install, so I'm a happy guy. Loving lollipop, definitely the best version of android that I've ever used, and I've flashed a huge amount of ROMs on different Samsung Galaxy series phones. Android definitely heading in the right direction I think.
But yeah, f2fs... Anyone know anything about it?

For anyone interested, or wondering whether to change over or not, I found this thread.

Is XtreStoLite for G900F dead???

In my opinion, XtreStoLite is THE BEST available rom for G900F. But i really have no ideea what is happening... I know that, at some point, EdgarF retired , but i knew that somebody else was trying to revive the evolution of the rom. Can anybody please, bring some light in this enigma???

Can someone elaborate on this? I am very interested, too...

I'm pretty sure it's dead; the end of the thread shows a mod trying to contact Edgar before locking the thread. He's been busy with an S6 and ignoring anything coming from the S5.
There's a variant update for the 900H (exynos), but nothing left for the international version.
I'm using a stock 5.1.1 (G900W8) rom debloated using the URWSoft Barebone Cleaner (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-urwsoft-barebone-cleaner-t3043479). He built that specifically to give any rom an xtrestolite feel. It's not quite as super light as Edgar's was, but at least he's still developing and not just abandoning his projects.

I think the reason the rom was closed was because there was a major problem where the rom would enable reactivation lock by default and it would potentially brick peoples phones.

AOSP ROM for S8?

hello,
I have seen a topic here before about AOSP based ROM for S8(Exynos), but still can't find any after all that time.
So i was wondering if anyone or any team is working on it? or anyone want to?
I really like AOSP and if i know that no one working on it, maybe i'll teach myself and do it.

RR is based on LOS tree so once it's stable enough someone may start working on it. As for now Ivan is just starting to work on LOS so I doubt anyone will take it up anytime soon.

reserved when i finally root my phone
my s10+ experience right now really sucks
edit: wrong post
well still s10+ sucks

you guys bought the wrong phone if u want a fully functional and stable aosp experience lol...

Galaxy S8 Active rom install from the beginning

Can anyone guide me through installing a solid rom from the beginning? The last pie update was great but doesn't seem up to par any more and I'd like to enjoy my phone to its fullest.
I've searched and links no longer work and I've read through hundreds of posts without finding new ones.
My impression is CYANOGENMOD ROMS would work for me.
I also use google apps which hopefully can still be installed and used.

Assuming that your s8 active is snapdragon? If so. you're unlucky. There are no custom roms for snapdragon variant. However if you have an exynos version there are many custom roms for it. Cyanogenmod roms were renamed to lineage os. So I think the roms you are looking for is lineage os

I have snapdragon. Thank you for letting me know so I don't have to keep searching.
Any thoughts about using the s8 active now? It seems safe enough but I don't really know :/

Well s8 is quite a phone in 2022, if you're bored of it, you can try rooting it and customizing it

So it is possible to root it and then flash a customized rom?
Will a customized rom be faster or more secure than 9.0?

You can root it, however a room cannot be flashed, it has to be built for a specific device. Customized ROM offer more security than normal roms they can also offer an increase in Performance, since they keep up with android patches.

Thank you again for your insight and help with this
I was looking at a thread that seems to offer a custom rom for the s8 active.
