(Guide)converting from ext4 to F2FS

hey friends a lot of you must have heard about F2FS but were not sure what is it , its advantages , and how to do it . so its a guide for users who want to do this but this will void your warranty and nor I neither Yu is responsible for the damage . 

What is F2FS?

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux kernel. 

What are the Advantages of F2FS?

  • Multi-head logging
  • Multi-level hash table for directory entries
  • Static/Dynamic hot and cold data separation
  • Adaptive logging scheme
  • Configurable operational units
  • Dual checkpoint
  • Roll-back and roll-forward recovery
  • Heap-style block allocation
  • TRIM/FITRIM support
  • Online defragmentation
  • Inline xattrs/data
  • Offline filesystem check (Check and fix inconsistency)
  • Atomic operations
  • Filesystem-level encryption
Planned
  • Better direct I/O
  • Transparent compression
  • Data deduplication
  • Offline resizing
  • Removable device support
  • Windows driver supporting F2FS
  • Inner periodically data flush
In short its a flash file system to improve your device performance and stability

***NOTE*** 
Not All ROM's and Kernels support F2FS. Only some of them support it.So please confirm first if the ROM or Kernel supports it and then proceed.

Twrp Recovery with F2FS support is Important download it from here TWRP 3.0.0 


Procedure to convert /data and /cache to F2FS from EXT4:
You can do this in 2 ways. I will show both the methods but 1st Method is Recommended.

Note:This will Format your internal storage. So if you have any Important Data take a backup.
First Method:
1)Find a ROM which is F2FS compatible.
2) Place Your ROM and Gapps in the External SDcard.
3) Go to your TWRP Recovery.(Twrp Recovery with F2FS support is Important download it from here TWRP 3.0.0 )
4) Select Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Data Here you will find an Option 'Repair or Change File System' then select Change File System and select F2FS.
5) Now follow the Step 4) by selecting cache instead of data
6) Install your ROM and Gapps from ExtSdcard Reboot!

Second Method :

It is almost the same as 1st method.
If your already on a ROM which is compatible with F2FS or Flash it before converting.
Then follow the Step 3,4,5 from 1st Method and Reboot!
Your Done!:D:);)

Now to Confirm if your Done Download this app from playstore and check out yourselves.

    Bliss-v6.1-lettuce-UNOFFICIAL-20160228-0652

    So finally we got bliss rom for Yuphoria(lettuce) i.e. marshmallow based . The rom is a daily runner espicially for those who don't want to change their roms daily . As per the dev the rom will soon start to get ota(over-the-air) updates . The rom is cyanogen based so no need to worry you can customize it as per your choice . The one I reviwed was the 28 feb built(latest one). And I found no bug in it so you can flash it (some people had confusion with the battery).So the rom gave me ok battery backup. I would suggest to use other kernels like velocity etc. 
    so the links are as follows:
    FULL VIDEO REVIEW

    steps to install:

    • boot into recovery
    • perform a FULL factory wipe and wipe/system and dalvik cache as a precaution
    • flash rom

    • first boot may take up to 10 minutes
    plz do give it a thumbs up if u like it and feel free to give suggestions cause suggestions are always welcomed.

    CAMERA NEXT MOD (Denoise)(no tint)

    CAMERA NEXT MOD
    By *PRATHAMESH*

    A very beautiful enhanced camera app 
    I am a TIMEPASS Photographer 
    Just clicking photos of whatever I find 
    And it is a pretty interesting job

    But as we all know that the camera quality On the Official Cyanogen OS 
    Is VERY VERY VERY bad
    1.It has so much of noise in the pictures 
    2.Clarity is unbearable 
    3.Tints while using flash or when under artificial light like a tubelight or a white build which makes you feel pretty unhappy 
    But then we tell ourselfs that "How much more can you expect for a phone for 7k"
    You can expect the best 

    And 

    Now you are getting the best 
    Great Image quality 
    You can try yourself by clicking a picture of your finger By Camera next mod and zomming it 
    You can see fingerprints clearly๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

    The developer 
    PRATHAMESH has applied his great efforts to build this app 
    He has even damaged his camera once while attempting manual camera installation 

    So let's support his work 
    U guys can try the great camera yourself 

    And it won't touch your stock camera app 
    So no need to panic or keep taking backups 

    We don't give you the flashable zips just after making 
    But we also do a lot of hardwork and testing after the zip is ready
    So that you must not damage anything ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

    Wanna try PMS CAMERA NEXT MOD
