Hello, I would like to know which are the correct partitions to change the file system to F2FS. Can I flash to cache, cache and dalvik, system, data, internal storage? Or could you please indicate me which the correct partitions to change the file system to F2FS. The rom stock are compatible with that F2FS file system? I think that from recovery (twrp latest version) it is possible to change the F2FS file system of the partition, thank for you help.
Note:my phone model is LG g3 d851
F2FS on stock requires a compatible kernel and modded ramdisk (fstab), btw you can format data and cache (correct partitions) to F2FS but your phone won't boot.

Hello,
Could you please tell me that I must modify of the ramdisk (fstab) to avoid problems of bootloop. I have read in several sites that brings advantages in writing data to modify the System and data partition. Thank for you answer.
I'm on zenity rr latest build with render kernel eas, I'd like to know how i can change file system to f2fs and what it will erase...And then... Is it worth changing to f2fs? Probably this question has been asked many times, but if i found it i wouldn't have written noob in title

f2fs is for good benchmarks in real life ext4 >> f2fs
and when you change the FS the data will be lost .
f2fs makes twrp very slow as well .
I was using f2fs for a month and reverted it back .
Didnt like it
Its very easy brother although formatting data to f2fs will erase everything like your download's/pictures, so the steps.
BACK UP YOUR SD CARD FOLDER.
1 - Reboot to twrp
2 - select wipe and then select advanced wipe/change filesystem.
3 - select data
4 - select change filesystem or format ( forgot which word it actually says )
5 - select f2fs and swipe to confirm flash
6 - reboot and restore data folder
People will say its not worth it but if you write to your data a lot and install apps you notice faster install times over EXT4

Will it wipe even other partitions like /system? do I have to flash again something?

No just data so you won't have to flash ROM again

Does supersu work with f2fs?
Format data in recovery WIPE ALL in youre phone.
Recovery > Wipe > Format Data > Yes.

yes but...It will wipe only internal not system partition right?
Mate, format data erase ALL.
You only have a empty TWRP directory in internal memory. It's healty for the phone, but if you like to keep data...

Lol, now i only became more confused. If i format data all my internal storage will be wiped, right? But my other partitions will be kept? such as system? after formatting and clicking on reboot system it will boot or stay in boot loop?

There's no major difference you will see in changing the filesystem to F2FS. I am using F2FS on Data Partition on Sultan CM & there is no major difference in real life.

I want to give it a try, if I don't see any noticeable difference I could come back to ext4

There are a few partitions on your phone, just like a hard drive. Think of your /system partition as your C: drive. Your /data partition would then be D: Your apps, the data for the apps, your dalvik/art cache, and your "Internal storage" are all on /data.
Changing your file system is literally formatting the drive, which initializes a new file system. For Windows, it's NTFS, for Linux it's normally ext4. You are basically going to format D:
Got it? Your Rom is on C:, data and apps on D:

About F2FS some users sad that it's better on gaming. And benchmarks (this it's useless).
Other than that recovery open slowly comparing with ext4.

You will see that youre internal memory it's smaller on F2FS.

Ok, now things are clear!
Hi,
Once I read that using determinate file systems on the diferents partition cloud lead to some benefits (better performance/less degradation) and I want try to change the File System, but I ask before get a brick.
The idea is to get this:
/storage/emulated/0 formatted in esdfs
/data formatted in f2fs
I use TWRP and official Lineage OS 14. In TWRP there is an option to change file system but i dont know if after change FS is necessary to install again the ROM and if do this would revert the FS to Ext4.
Sorry for my English.

Full backup (in TWRP) - factoryreset + change FS (in TWRP of course) - restore backup. Make sure you have your backup put on the SD, and have a copy of the full SD somewhere safe. Normally, flashing new ROM's afterwards would keep the FS intact.
Cheers
Which filesystem is used for /data and /cache by latest OxygenOS (Nougat based)?
If I have formatted these 2 partitions as f2fs do I need to change them to ext4 before flashing latest Oxygen_4.1.3.zip in TWRP?
Just f2fs on data for OOS

I would stay on ext4 there is no real difference only in really big application. Also don't encrypt your device since it can take up to 10 minutes to boot in TWRP when encrypted on F2fs! Also it is not stable yet.
FYI: Currently I'm using data as f2fs and cache as ext4 - that's how OOS 4 works by default.
When i flashed Stock Rom 8.0 to my phone it boot normal. Then i flash TWRP made for my device. Downloaded supersu and going to flash it but then in the end it says Unable to unmount or mount i forgot sorry!I see that my internal storage is 0MB in TWRP but its not! So it seems like TWRP didnt encrypt my data or what? I flashed stock again cuz i got bootloop after that! Than flashed TWRP again and Internal storage is 0MB! HELP!
You have to format (not wipe) /data in TWRP then it will work, although you will lose all data. TWRP can't mount Samsung encrypted partitions.

until twrp 3.2.1-0 I think I did not have full support for samsung 8.0, I used twrp 3.2.2-0, and the /data is getting decrypted even after reboot.

Really? Your internal doesn't show 0MB and you can backup data partition with TWRP? I didn't think it was TWRP related... that would be awesome.
What did you do? Only format data or did you flash anything?
