I'm using System Cleanup to move some application to vendor and system partitions . but it brings up some other issue! while nand backup via CWM works greatly, it doen't backup vendor partition. so I'm losing all the application moved there.

Hi, after have done all the procedures for unencrypt phone and root, I've found to be in this situation:
- data partition: F2FS
- cache partition: EXT4
I don't know if data partition was EXT4 or F2FS on stock, but probably it has been converted to F2FS by TWRP when I formatted it to unencrypt the phone (after kernel patch applied...).
My questions are:
1) is this your situation?
2) Is it safe on stock kernel/ROM to convert to F2FS the cache partition too?
3) In case what is the safest mode to do it without data losses?

Hi again
Actually disabling force encryption won't change file systems
Disabling Force encryption is changing "forceencrypt" to "encryptable" in qcom.fstab file at boot partition
So Motorola Official devices have same file system as you said you have in your phone:
- data partition: F2FS
- cache partition: EXT4
And about wiping data partition after disabling,
We have to wipe it because this partition is encrypted by default and we just changed "forceencrypt" to "encryptable" so if we want to read and write access on TWRP or ... For root, Xposed and any related zip flashing we have to wipe data to make it unencrypted to do all of them
Why you want to change Cache partition file system ??
If you change it Cache partition won't detect any more, don't play with file system this may brick your device
All (already) clear what I've removed...

Because F2FS is reported to be faster. Are you sure that a ROM capable of using it on /data can't use it on /cache?

Oh ok it's faster but not too much
If you want to use it on Cache partition
I think you have to compile and build new rom
Or maybe with editing qcom.fstab it's gonna be alright
I've never did it before sorry I don't know very much

Than anyway! :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
Would it theoretically possible to delete the recovery system of android and use the space for example for data?
I mean, if you have SPflashtool, you would not need the android recovery, becuase you can flash the phone over pc,
if something is broken on the firmware, so why not deleting it, and use the space the recovery takes normally for other purposes?
Is the recovery system only needed for recovery, or has it other functions too (Booting the normal system for example)?

Partitions aren't resizeable on Andoid A-only devices, hence by deleting the mentioned /recovery partition one doesn't gain storage space that can get added/merged to another partition, for example /data partition.

But I think it would be possible to edit the partition table BEFORE flashing the ROM on the phone?
