Hi I am using Omega Rom v15 and newest Redphil kernel. I want to use ExtSd2InternalSd feature. So please suggest what partition will be
best for me to format my Sandisk Class 10 ultra 64GB card???
Thanks in advance guys.
My 64gb microsd card came preformated to exFat. I would keep it that way unless you plan to switch to an aosp or cm based rom in the future. Those roms currently don't support exFat. exFat is the more modern file format. It support file sizes larger than 4gb. Do a search on file systems to get more details. Just my 2 cents.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if there any ROMs out there for the FLO that currently support f2fs. I know the ElementalX kernel already has support for it, and CWM also has support for it. Thanks in advance!

I don't think you need rom support, just kernel support.
I tried to format the /data with f2fs, and then flashed the elementalx kernel. But the machine only asked me to type the password to decrypt the storage.

If the kernel doesn't modify the ramdisk image also (some don't) then you might have to flash a kernel with the modded ramdisk first.
Haven't ever done the f2fs mod on my 2013 N7, since I don't see a need to go through the extra steps every time I update as the 2013 N7 is already fast.
My 2012 N7 though, I keep on F2FS forever since it makes a big difference on that tablet. Even though I use Faux123 that supports F2FS, I have to flash Legolas first as it gives the modded ramdisk necessary, then flash Faux123 over it.
Someone more familiar with F2FS on the N7 2013 might should respond.
ok i have a samsung galaxy SM-T700 what rom and kernal has F2FS support i have searched the forms but nothing for this model came up with a answer.....

Probably none of them do. Developers usually only implement F2FS if the device has slow write speeds on its built in eMMC, such as the original Nexus 7 (and a few others). Some devices have native F2FS support such as the Nexus 9 (which is why it gets its extremely high bench scores). However for this device, it has plenty fast storage already, so the benefit would be almost impossible for the human senses to notice. With all that said, I too would love to use F2FS on at least the cache partition.

Actually, if you install TWRP recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-2-8-6-1-unofficial-sm-t800-805-807-t3074633
Then you can have F2FS support. You then just need to look for a rom that supports F2FS, or a kernel that does. I'm still looking myself, so not sure if any ROMs actually do support F2FS yet, but at least you already have F2FS format support. :good:

I would like to do benchmark test results for before and after F2FS. Curious how it compares to my Nexus 7. On cache it was a good performance increase, but on system it did nothing better. EXT4 seems to be the better file system for the system partition, at least on my Nexus 7.

The kernel I posted doesn't support f2fs on the system partition nor does my guide include it.
As you rightly stated the system partition does not benefit from f2fs as its read only. Ext4 is capable of high read speed.

Yeah agreed, EXT4 is slightly faster at reading, but just by a hair on my N7. However, on partitions that have write permissions, it can "sometimes" be three times faster at random writes. I been using F2FS since feb 2014 "religiously" on my Nexus 7 (and wont run a non-f2fs setup on it), so I am very well versed in its use. Legolas was the first one to bring it to custom Android (I know because I was one of his support techs helping users convert to it, until he disappeared that is lol. Then I started helping USBhost with CarbonROM), and was the first to release a F2FS app in the play store. He was also the first, and only individual, to have a Conversion app to convert your ROM to f2fs, which gave new life to my N7 and any ROM I tried back in 2014 (it did not support 5.0 though). Without F2FS, sadly my Nexus 7 is almost worthless.
If only I can find the many screenshot test results we've done with F2FS, it would come in handy here too. On the N7 its a night and day difference, but here this device is already plenty fast. Id love to see some insane results though.... If only Jaegeuk would develop a Windows driver already. I would like to use it for my Linux box, Windows and Android tbh, and format the sdcards with it, and maybe even USB storage drives to try and pick up on the write speeds a bit. Well see I guess...
My SkyHigh TW LL 5.0.2 kernels support both EXT4 and F2FS for DATA and CACHE partitions.
Note: You need to have supported base firmware for successful flash.
Deathly Aosp Kernel supports Ext4 and f2fs on cache and data
Rom support for it is included on aicp, slim, carbon, liquid

ANY ROM can support F2FS. Its just the Kernel that needs to be built with support.
It's possible to convert any partition using various scripts (adjusted to suit device) that are about. But the easiest way is to use ashyx F2FS recovery. It saves a lot of pain.

Yeah the roms i listed already have native support no scripts or anything because the f2fs lines have been added too the fstab. So all you need to do is format cache and data in twrp and your done.

Those ROMs probably use a kernel which has already been patched for F2FS and compiled in-line with the ROM.
Same goes for my SkyHigh kernel, but compiled on its own. All you need to do is format your relevant ROM partitions via script or supported F2FS TWRP. No difference to method except having to flash the kernel separately.

Yep they include my deathly kernel which has f2fs, but without that fstab changes it wont boot on aosp if you convert it unless the tab s is different

It's the same (similar) ramdisk fstab changes for Samsung based kernel as well, not just source. Edit: As I said, all you need to do to actual "ROM" is just format the relevant partitions.
hi, i am running cm/los 14.1 but the kernel missing exfat support so that i cannot access my sdcard . is there a kernel that i can flash that has exfat support for cm 14.1 ?

I am not sure if there is a kernel that does support it but take a look at Gamma Kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-gamma-kernel-d855-d851-t3435940
And the CrazySuperKernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-crazysuperkernel-v1-t3521121
These MAY or MAY NOT have support, I have used both of these kernels in the fast and they are stable!
If you are unable to find a kernel with exfat I can compile you a lineage kernel with exfat support. It takes all of 5 minutes to do since I already have the dev tree. If you need it, let me know your variant and I'll whip one up.

that would be really helpful , its for the 855 .
For some reason I was thinking exfat was already part of the kernel tree and it just needed enabling. That's not the case. There is an app on the app store called paragon that may work for you. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=en
a quick question, do your D855 charge normally with any Nougat CM/LOS based ROM?
mine dont. i've tried many Nougat roms, many kernels and the only way to charge is in dev options force the usb to "charge only" but then it's limited to 500ma
EDIT: if the phone is off it charges normally and/or if i went back to android 6 stock/aosp it charges normally too, so i think the hardware is good.
Hello, I'm currently running LineageOS on my OnePlus 9 Pro, and I was wondering if it's possible to get native exFAT and NTFS support without having to use Paragon Software's solution

No, there's an Android app that allows you to mount these filesystems, but it's paid and not all apps support it. I'm wondering if there's a more native solution
Ah, now I understand. There is a Magisk module which supports exFat, NTFS, ext4, F2FS.
Maybe this is a better solution for you?

Unfortunately that module only works on Android 8.1, I'm currently running Android 11
LOS must add support for it in the sources.
You could try asking the maintainer.
As for the outdated module, I am in need for exfat support as well, so i might give it a go updating it, can't promise anything though.
I use file commander. It's a little buggy but it always mounts ntfs and fat32
