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 am proud to present benchmark competition between ext4 and f2fs file systems on Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195).
Base for this Benchmark
ROM: AICP - 11.0 - MM 6.0.1_r3 | OFFICIAL NIGHTLIES Build : aicp_serranoltexx_mm-11.0-NIGHTLY-20160202.zip
Gapps: No
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
f2fs
I was formatting 2 partitions as below to f2fs.(CM Marshmallow-Builds doesn´t support other partitions at the moment,waiting for a MM-Kernel )
/cache
/data
I was using 4 benchmark apps ( CF-Bench,RL Bench,Androbench,AnTuTu) to test performance.
CF-Bench
CF-Bench is an overall benchmark by Chainfire which measure everything except graphics.
RL Bench
RL Bench is an SQLite benchmark, it only tests database read/writes with various SQL commands in various amounts.
Androbench
Androbench is supposedly an all-around I/O benchmark.
AnTuTu
No need for an introduction, it's probably the most popular benchmark these days.
THX to somboons for his inspirating LG G2 Benchmark-Thread
PS. please excuse me, if my english not the best^^
@ssceddie
So, which one is better? Which screenshots concerns ext4 and which one concerns f2fs?
Omg,on mobiles devices you cant see the file-names,right? On Windows you can See the file-names. But I will edit the pics these days.....damn^^
On windows7 I can save each one as attachment.php.png
Maybe can you tell us according to the time which file system did u use at 19:46 and 21:10? Thanks for the comparison it was a really good idea. Im courious about how much is the difference with gapps

Ah gold idea, I'd made the test with ext4,first. But I'll edit the screens later.
Did you think the difference is signifcant with gapps? I dont think so....
@piskor @wolverinemaister
Edit: Now, on the left side on top of the screens you can see what is ext4 and f2fs

Never been a great fan of F2FS...
But;
Option is the option... So some users is asking for it... That's why I'm tryin to provide it...
No big difference IMHO.

Yes my opinion,too. But it were interesting to know, if the difference bigger if /system could be format to f2fs too , sometime if that possible^^

According to @bon_bon
Formating /system to f2fs is going to make it SLOW, i never tried to format it but it's better to keep /system to ext4

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
anyone can create a resurrection remix or lineage os with f2fs data and cache support ? yes the phone is fast but i would try with f2fs please
i know advantages and disadvantages and i want to try f2fs
There's very little difference in terms of speed. I didn't see any improvement on my S4. The OnePlus is already fast, I doubt changing to f2fs will make it noticeably faster.

As the other chap has said it's already rapid, there is nothing I've thrown at this phone which it can't deal with.
Maybe if something comes out which it can't deal with it'll be done but for now I can't see a demand for it.

Trust me, ext4 is more better than f2fs, you aren't losing nothing:good:
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 ?
