Hi all, does anyone have F2FS partitions format? What difference have you noticed with ext4? Is it faster? Thank you all!
According to read it is faster, but uses more space, I used it with cm 13, but I did not notice a big difference, it depends on if the ROM supports it

Dear all experts,
hope i m not waiting everyone's time. it seems that not many have asked this question, so maybe i ask. pls help answer or revert me to a link which can explain this.
Question: whats the difference btw the diff extensions? i know from wiki that ext4 is the successor of ext3 and ext3 is the successor of ext2. so shld we all convert our ext to ext4 for better features?
THANKS in advance!!!
They are all versions of the ext filesystem, evolved over time.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_system
Your question is moot because going forward (2.2+) apps will be installable on the FAT filesystem so no additional partitioning is needed.
Isn't ext2 supposed to superior to FAT?

Except it is up to the developer to enable that, only one app so far that i own has apps2sd enabled. and FAT32 does not work with root apps, so EXT is still very relevant.
Hi
does anybody know, if official miui is based on ext4 and if not, is there any way to convert it?
thx for answers
Mate, you really should use the search function. This is the second time I've answered this question recently.
Ext2/4 lagfixes (including voodoo) are used due to the slow speed of the rfs file system which samsung decided to use.
MIUI is cyanogenmod based, and as such, uses yaffs file system. Yaffs is quicker than ext2/4 so other lagfix solutions are unnecessary and incompatible.
Hope this helps.
Hi guys. My uncle gifted me this device with CM Mod 3 month ago. Now this device lags as nokia 5800 .
I have only 72 mb of 256 free RAM space .. I cant play Trial Extreme 3 and so on.... I run Opera and Vk , and my device cant open any other applicantion.
Processor overclocked on 1Mhgz and i use JiT ( setuped in cm settings)
It surely needs a swap partition. Read other topics how to set such a partition on the sd card.
Sory but i dont understand, i need to swap a partition for more Ram ? Or better to setup CM 10 with android 4.2 ?
Swap partition is a partition you create on your sd card. It supports your phone with extra memory and its capacity. You can use mini mod by fufu to setup swap, ext partitions.
If you want to set up Cm 10 on your milestone, you can't make it without ext. The swap partition is required too.
Cm10 will work faster or slower? I can make 1gb swap , i have 32gb flash, cuz i only want very fast phone
Definitely it is cm7. Much faster and smoother. The thing is, Milestone is kind of outdated phone in terms of hardware (some say it has pretty good cpu, but has to be overclocked anyway), thus you cannot expect miracles. I would sick to cm 7.
CM7 is your choise

And every update that the apps are making make the M1 slower
Not use cm10 on this, try cm9, cm10 is really slow
Haven't seen anyone try to make this happen. F2FS is a new file system developed at Samsung for NAND memory. It greatly increases the speed of random reads/writes and therefore this can dramatically improve smoothness, as can be seen by these benchmarks: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7235/moto-x-review/9
The problem is that this requires a custom kernel and recovery, as seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634271
Are there devs out there willing to work on this?

Hello, i would like to know how to convert a lollipop rom to full f2fs and wich rom actually support it...Currently im on Slimlp but i need working camera...thanks for the help

Wait, it will be fixed. Or give up f2fs.
Are you sure you need ALL F2FS? Mine works very well with system on ext4 and the rest on F2FS, I don't notice a difference to the all-F2FS lollipop rom I had used before.
The only thing you have to do for that would be flashing an F2FS compatible kernel, I use phantom with the rom in my signature.
(If you really need all-F2FS, that's the rom I had used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2931064
The camera works. It's a bit outdated, though. )
Do you think is better to leave system on ext4 in order to have the best compatibility/performance? There isnt a working full f2fs converter like on Kitkat?

I think it's fine to have system formatted the way the rom needs it, because the impact on performance is negligible.
If I understood correctly, lollipop roms can either be file zips or images, and only the first ones can be easily converted.
