[SCRIPT] [tool] [windows] [4.4] convert any rom to full f2fs - Nexus 5 Android Development

This is a Windows Batch Script/Tool to make any 4.4 based ROM to full F2FS compatibility !! This tool can convert any existing ROM from ext4 to Full F2FS Compatibility in a few clicks !! All tools necessary for conversion included in the batch file itself !!
Basic Info
What is F2FS?
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.
What is All-F2FS?
We used F2FS only for /data. It was simply because we have only to flash a compatible Kernel and Format /data partition. With All-F2FS we use F2FS for all partitions and we need a compatible ROM
DISCLAIMER
Code:
*I am Not responsible for any bricked devices,SD cards or thermonuclear attacks.
*Please do some research about what you are doing before you use the tool.
*YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.
Current Device Compatibility
Code:
1. Nexus 4 ( Mako )
2. Nexus 7 2012 Edition ( Grouper)
3.Nexus 5 (HammerHead)
Prerequisites
Code:
1. A Hammerhead
2. Any 4.4 based ROM with [B][U]busybox [/U][/B]installed
3. Proper F2FS Compatible Recovery and Partition Zip from
[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-0-0-f2fs-support-t2746030[/url]
4. Any Windows version and my batch script
Features
Code:
1. One Click F2FS Conversion Process
2. All tools included in the Zip file itself
3. Changes only the relevant parts of your updater-script keeping the rest unmodified
4. Compatible boot.img included in the ROM itself
5. Now Scripts are Device Specific
6. Error conditions at many places so a noob cant go wrong
***Special note for CM /CM based ROM users***
Code:
I dont test the script since I dont own an HH !! This is the CM kernel by @kdh2834
If it does not work kindly post the detailed error on the thread . Will try my best to resolve it
***Special note for Stock ROM users***
Code:
The script requires busybox and since stock roms dont have busybox the repacked ROM wont boot up.
In such a case the best option is try out any other AOSP based ROM/or a Stock ROM with busdybox installed
Instructions
Code:
[LIST=1]
[*] Unpack the Zip file you downloaded from Link Below to a folder named F2FSROMConvetor (Dont Mess with the name).
[*] Take Care that the path you extract my Zip for eg in my case "C:\Users\Nabendu\Desktop\F2FSROMConvetor"
does not contain any blank spaces in between or else the script will not work as intended.
[*] Run F2FS Convertor.bat
[*] Select your device
[*] Place the Zip in the Extract /Input directory when prompted
[*] The script will Unpack your ROM
[*] Select option of boot.img based on your rom
[*] Repack your ROM
[*] A black window will open showing the Repacking progress. Dont close my Blue Window anytime during it the repacking process.
After 100% repacking is done the Black Window will close automatically and you can now press any key to Continue
[*] Check NEW F2FS ROM directory for the Repacked ROM
[*] Flash and Enjoy
[*] Cleanup the working directory cleanup.bat (Cleans everything including original input ROM.Only a copy of the Output ROM is maintained)
[/LIST]
***FAQ's***
Q. I get errors compiling the ROM on my XYZ Windows Version?
A. Read through my steps once again especially point 1 & 2. Hopefully u can get it to work.
If you think you are doing everything correctly post it on the thread and Ill try to reply within 24Hrs.
Q. I want to do it on Linux !! Why you no create bash scripts ?
A. Im not good at bash scripting !! Also dont own a Linux Distro so cant help you guys !! But look here @jolinnard has a script for Linux users
https://github.com/figue/f2fs-scripts/blob/master/convert_ROM_to_f2fs.sh and make necessary changes for Hammerhead updater script if any
Q. I can do the same with the Convert to F2FS apk on the Playstore ?
A. Sure you can. Converting on mobile is easier also. But only reservation is that it is paid.Not everyone can afford it.
Also time permitting Ill create a Android Terminal Script based on jolinnards script for Linux.
Q. Do you think I can convert it myself ?
A. Yes its just clicks . Read my steps and do it you wont go wrong.

I dont own a HH so not much I can help you with !! But try flashing a different kernel on top of it , think it should work !! And does c rom used the aosp kernel in the first place !! Look at the thread for modified Kernels , i guess flashing one should solve your problem !!

If C-rom is based on Cyanogen (CAF) then the stock F2FS boot.img (AOSP) that NABENDU1 provide inside his tool will not work with your rom.

---

c-rom is aosp based.

C-Rom is aosp based. Even c-rom v6.2 compiled by developer:callmeandy gives com.android.process.phone force closed. I also tried editing lines in updater-script and no change. Same problem prevailed.

hi ... but after this mod... if i update the rom i must repack again???????????? @NABENDU1

Yup what kind of Rom u use !! If it has differential update like Mokee OS or xdelta ( I dont know xdelta/opendelta in detail ) like Omni I can create some kind of allied script for it too !! Put the same question in the N7 2012/N4 but dint get any responses for it mosly due to devs still use the traditional way !! Anyways if anyone wants patching for those im up for the task !!
EDIT: Version 1.2 for HH online ( Bigger Size due to 4 boot.imgs included in the script itself)

Changelog:
Added CM boot.img ( Untested by me ) thx to @kdh2834
Added Purity boot.img ( Untested by me) thx to @kdh2834
Added AOSP com.android process phone fc boot.img ( Untested by me) thx to @me
Kindly post feedback on the thread !!
I will fix the screenies sometime later or tomm

I've used this tool to successfully switch over to f2fs-all with crDroid (a CM based rom). My biggest problem, however, is that I am completely unable to flash elementalx afterward because it freezes on boot. Anybody found a way to fix this?
Edit, I'm an idiot. I found out I have to manually mount /system before flashing ElementalX

---

fantastic job, works great with cm11-m6,very faster

---

Great!
Thanks! Working great using omnirom, tested with elementalx and bricked kernels.

Glad to hear everything works fine !! But im kindoff disappointed at the response for the thread !! I am thinking it this way "that a calm thread means everything is working as intended and no ones having any issues so far" !! But atleast some responses is needed to keep the thread in the right direction and im open to any suggestions about new features or stuff you guys want this ugly script to perform !!
My plans for the future for this tool would be
1) A Mobile Version of the Tool ( A bash script for the Mobile)
2) OTA/XDelta Updater-script changes

Sorry to ask what might be a stupid question, but could this work for a ROM for a different phone (I have a Moto G)?
I would be using the CM11 version for my phone of course. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624111
Great work, and thanks!

Moto G is infact already has /data partition in F2FS file format !! The only thing is making the cache and system full f2fs !! For this firstly your kernel dev should take a initiative to create a fully compatible f2fs kernel and also a f2fs recovery !! Once that is done I would be more than glad to help you guys out !! Anyways till then enjoy f2fs on /data !!

Used this to convert Euroskank CM 5/31 version, but MTP won't work. Has anyone else had this issue with other ROMs?

Works fine on my crDroid setup. Did it work for you before with Euroskank? Have you tried toggling from MTP to PTP and back? If you have a secure screen lock in place, are you ensuring that you have unlocked the phone after plugging it in? Are you waiting to plug the phone in until after it's booted up? Just trying to rule out the obvious troubleshooting steps

Yes
To @NABENDU1
Hi, so far everything is good, only complain is that most of the times when I reboot to recovery and flash any update to rom/kernel or when I add a new rom using multirom (tested and working good with omni, slim and paranoid), when finished and reboot the phone I see the boot screen many times. Like a bootloop but eventually it makes it to the rom or the multirom menu to select a rom. Is this because of my configuration of f2fs with multirom or maybe the kernel I use (elementalx shared with all the roms)?

---

@NABENDU1 thank you very much for this, it's quick and easy as well as educational (to me)
