Hi there! I want to test the official CM12.1 rom so I decided to format the phone and flash a custom kernel and then the rom.
First I flashed TWRP (2.8.7.0) using fastboot and enter it. I made a complete wipe using the advanced wipe and marking all options (except usb-otg).
Once the partitions are clean I flashed the kernel using the install option and selecting the zip file, finally the same for the CM12.1 rom (nightly). Wiped cache and dalvik and restart, but somehow miui reinstalled.... (it is possible to completely delete miui?). The kernel seems to be the stock (3.4.0-g7f72d41-01413-g70bd50e).
I read in the official CM12.1 post that the rom automatically extends the system partition (merging the two system partitions to have a partition with 1.28GB), is this true or do I have to do it manually (flashing something?).
Thanks.
Flash this once and your partition will be 1.2 GB.
Thanks! Is it normal that it still shows just 629MB? (I can see it in the repair/resize/change-file-system section).
Now, every rom that I flash it stucks at the "mi boot logo"... Maybe I'm doing something wrong; I wipe/factory reset (including cache/dalvik) and then flash the zip, and (wipe again, the option at the left to reboot) and reboot to system.... It's stuck, I tried with other custom roms and it happens the same. What am I doing wrong??
Did you switched the partition (system 1 for non - miui and system 2 for miui)? It's located in advanced options in cwm.

I'm using TWRP. So I have to flash CWM to extend the partition?

Yes, the repartition zip only works on CWM. People said that they have problem while repartitioning with TWRP.

Hi
I'm searching for a custom ROM for my mom's gamaxy s5 mini. Touchwize is very buggy on her devices, so i'm looking for a stable ROM.
I'm not specific looking for a ROM that has a lot of features but they are always welcome.
What ROM do you guys suggest?
Thanks
stock rom with custom kernel

Custom roms for the S5 Mini are still on BETA stage. They have some bugs, an higher battery drain and some features are unsopported. Stock rom with a custom kernel and ROOT os the best way. Also, don't forget to format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem.

What kernel do you suggest?
And how do I format data and cache partition into F2FS filesystem? And before I do that, in what filesystem are they formated originally?

I suggest this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-kernel-t3130662
You can format the two partitions into the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery. Normally, on every phone, they are formatted into the ext4 filesystem (you can also read it before formatting)

Last question.
Why only format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem? And not the other partitions?

Because only these two partitions have this possibility.
What custom kernel would you recommend for G800H? And what is the advantage of formatting the partitions into F2FS?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS should tell you why you want this (It's a FS designed especially for mobile devices that use flash memory for storage).
Sm-g800h or sm-g800f???
Info: model SM-G800F, baseband G800FXXU1BPC4
I had the same question as TS and listened to the advice of @Andrea224 by flashing the custom kernel mentioned in this thread.
I started with the stock 5.1.1 ROM.
- First I flashed the kernel using Odin3.
- Then I flashed TWRP 3.0.0 recovery using Odin3.
- Then I re-formatted \data and \cache F2FS booting in TWRP.
All went well.
When I boot in Recovery I got the question to mount read/write and the warning about not able to receive OTA updates.
When I exit Recovery I get the question to install SuperSU.
Coming from a long line of HTC devices the above questions are new to me.
What do they mean? I once did choose to install SuperSU. Is my phone rooted now? Or should I still flash the CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5 file?
Also in TW I get the questions about not having an original software installed. Is this about Knox? How can I disable this?
Concluded: Have I done all the correct steps to have a stable system?

Now, I will explain to you how to get it work properly:
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the latest update of the TouchWiz for your country with Odin. (If you are on CM13, into TWRP: 1- Do a backup of your data; 2- In Wipe -> Advanced Wipe select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data and wipe these partitions; then select Cache and Data and format both to ext4; 3- After all, flash TWwith Odin)
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash SuperSU with CF-Auto-root.
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the TWRP 3.0.0 with Odin.
- When you are into recovery: 1- Tick the option for never show this message on every reboot into recovery and then swipe to allow modification; 2- Do a backup of your Data; 3- Flash the custom kernel; 4- Format Data and Cache to F2FS; 5- Restore the backup of your Data; 6- Reboot the phone and DO NOT allow to install SuperSU if it ask to you. (If after the reboot, the phone says that your device isn't rooted, flash another time CF-Auto-root)
- With the kernel and root installed, now is time to delete some apps: 1- Download and install RootExplorer; 2- Go into "system" -> search SecurityLogAgent.apk into the folder called "app" or "priv-app" (I don't remember in which folder is it) and delete it. Naturally, you have to grant root access to the app.
Now you have a good and stable rom. Also, if you want to debloat the stock rom, you can use this ZIP -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-urwsoft-barebone-cleaner-t3043479 (this is for the S5, but it's compatible with the S5 Mini) or you can delete manually some apps through RootExplorer. If you have some problems, contacts me.
With Root Explorer you mean the payed version?

Yes, just search on Google the apk.
Did all the steps above except for the URWsoft BareBone Cleaner. I had to reflash both Autoroot and TWRP through Odin twice. Weird. By removing SecurityLogAgent.apk I was finally able to enjoy my device without being warned all the time. Nice!
I have noticed that after every reboot my Wifi connection settings are lost. Anybody else experienced this?

It's a bug, it appears when you flash a custom kernel. To fix it, go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65568464&postcount=10
I'm sorry for restoring such an old thread but my question is the same.
Which is the best rom for G800F?
Custom roms I see that have still many known bugs
Stock rom ok, but how about debloating it? I haven't found a debloated version, nor a guide/script to debloat it automatically.
And what about the kernel? Which is the best kernel for stock rom? And for custom roms?
Thank you

I use Root Package Disabler from play store, it has in-built bloatware list that you can disable/freeze.
Very convenient and effective.
How about Resurrection Remix MM? It's marked as stable and it seems that everything is working in the changelog and comments.
Or LOS 13 too seems everything is working (but I can't find confirmation in comments)
I'm using this one
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-2-t3562523
It's 7.1.2 RR. It's perfection. I'm not even kidding I've used it for 3 months and it's stable as hell. On top of that it has million features that come with RR roms. Battery life is really good too.
Hello. Can i ask you for guide, how to migrate from lineage os to for example, xiaomi.eu or masik? Thank you for help.
I made a post about this here. Hope it helps.
just factory reset in TWRP, and then flash xiaomi.eu and opengapps, you're done.
that's how i did it.
do note though, xiaomi.eu kernel do not support F2FS, so if you're having data/cache in F2FS, reformat into ext4 (backup your data to external / pc first)

I have reformatted everything first to install masik and everything is working well, now ill do just factory reset to migrate from masik to xiaomi eu, curious if isnt better. Miui is much more interesting than lineage after some months, every rom based on clean android is... boring. Maybe android O will be interesting in other way

if you really want a clean state on your data storage or switch between ext4/f2fs, fell free to format. but other than that, you only need factory reset. you get to keep your files
So, I have the nexus 6 and one plus 3t...on the 3t, going back to nougat you have to wipe internal storage, do you have to do the same here?

If you're referring to flashing the factory image, yes I it will automatically wipe internal storage. Alternatively you could just wipe system/data/cache/dalvik and just install a nougat based custom ROM, the most recommended one being the infamous PureNexus. Some people its possible to flash the factory recovery from inside TWRP so give that a look too. :good:

What I am referring to is this, on 3t, if I am on a custom Oreo ROM, and want to go back to custom nougat, if I wipe system, dalvik,data, and cache...install a nougat ROM, it will boot but make me wipe internal memory...
I don't believe there is any reason a custom nougat ROM will trigger a wipe of user data (internal storage). Of course it's always a good idea to back up just in case [emoji6]
I know you're not talking about stock, but the only time user data is wiped automatically is by using the stock install script. The script can be modified to not flash user data. Or better, just manually fastboot flash the stock ROM excluding the user data partition. The -w flag is the wipe command.

Hey there,
today I started flashing my mi9tpro.
First I tried xiaomi.eu, but still wasn't happy about the security/junkcleaner integration ...
So I moved on to paranoid quartz 4 for the start. Runs nice and smooth, could settle here.
But I wanted to give ressurection, crdroid, havoc a try too.
Now there is a conflict between the statement of xiaomi.eu:
FORMAT /data partition (NEVER wipe System or Persist!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And e.g. crdroid:
Wipe Data/Cache/System when coming from non-AOSP ROMs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure, I am coming from a non-AOSP rom, so this is a step I need to do for trying the other roms based on AOSP.
BUT:
If I want to return to Miui, Xiaomi.eu or Paranoid ... will there be troubles about flashing?
Do I need to flash anything, so /system is returned to stock?
I made a full backup booting twrp before flashing anything (even twrp), so if I need a original /system, I should be able to restore this image.
Greetings

No need to format /System, as it afaik can result in an instant-bootloop to Fastboot, which may then cause you to reflash the whole MIUI Fastboot ROM.
When coming from MIUI to AOSP ROMs, formatting /Data (aka the "Format Data" Option where you have to type "yes") should be enough.
Same process goes when going back to MIUI from AOSP.
Hope it helped!

The system partition is home to the OS. Every time you flash a ROM, you replace the system partition. If you want to return to stock, flashing MIUI will restore the stock system partition.
In reality there is no need to wipe the system partition, because flashing a ROM will wipe it automatically anyway, before installing the new ROM.
When flashing new ROMs, doing a factory reset is all that's needed. You should rarely need to enter advanced wipe menu in TWRP.
The only extra step required is when flashing over MIUI (official or custom version). In this case you will also need to format data too.
Follow my guide for flashing

Thanks for both of of your answers! So nothing really changed since my HTC10. On my Cubot I used gsi images... Unsuccessfully, but quite easy.
