Is f2fs the way to go for S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently read about the new f2fs format support in arter97's kernel thread and converting existing ext4 partition to f2fs.
However, it requires complete internal storage format and you will be also limited with kernel's that support it (right now I know only Agni and arter97 kernel's support it, might be others also I don't know). Also moving back to ext4 from f2fs is also untested ?
So, for those who already are on f2fs, please suggest what are the real world performance improvement like ? Does it really make the phone smooth or if there are any downsides for it, like more battery drain, app incompatibility, etc ? Benchmark numbers would also be good.
Others are also welcome to chip in

Also interested in this, some feedback from more experienced users in this matter would be appreciated.

thats my feedback for f2fs on temasek rom. (and also on stock room as it is my secondary rom)
in addition to your questions : no extra battery drain, and benchmarks are quite the same as on ext4. also there are no app incompatibilities.
btw. devil kernel supports f2fs as well

[KERNEL][SENSE]intersectRaven's Kernel - 20130625_10XX

Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient algorithms (whether theoretical or not is unimportant)
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
Latest Kernel Here
20130625_10XX:
- updated with fix for more recent 4.1.2 Sense ROMs (should fix camera issue)
*unsure if this becomes incompatible with older 4.1.2 Sense ROMs though
20130602_07XX:
- NTFS support
- compiled using 4.8 linaro compiler
- improved workqueue queueing
- sleeper improvements
- responsiveness patches to the frequency controllers
20130531_09XX:
- fixed earpiece volume during calls
20130528_17XX:
- more optimizations (see GitHub)
20130527_18XX:
- more ARM implementations (see GitHub)
20130527_10XX:
- ARM implementations of kernel algorithms (see GitHub)
20130527_09XX:
- compiler optimization flags
20130526_22XX:
- initial version
- uses Linaro compiler
You can find my kernels at:

FAQ or something like that:
1.) Camera doesn't work!
- Try this fix from Golv here. This usually occurs on older ROMs.
*Latest 20130625_10XX version should solve this without flashing older camera libs.

Could you please expound on your statement that undervolting is relatively pointless?
From my experience, undervolting
1. Improves battery life because of lower wattage (Voltage * Amperage = Wattage). Even with a really bad binned CPU, it can still make a difference.
2. Cooler operation. This means longer component life - especially important as this phone is very difficult to repair. Battery is sandwiched so the cooler we can keep the device, the longer the battery will last. (Battery longevity practices could be a topic of it's own)
3. It's Fun! Haha. But seriously. I love to tinker. How low can you go??? It's fun seeing a 25% decrease in voltage and it still run stable
I really like your approach with the rest of your points though. We should have a stable kernel that doesn't have to be tuned or tweaked at all. This however, only suites the majority. The minority may want more. I'm currently in the process of making a kernel with as few restrictions as possible. Except that I will put a ceiling on the maximum voltage (1.25v for the cpu)) because I discourage overvolting beyond spec.
Anyway, thanks for the work. The One is Awesome!

Should have put a qualifier there huh? Anyways, it's pointless from a no tweaking perspective since undervolting may not work for some chips and could cause more trouble (random restarts and the like) than it's worth. It's fun for a tweaker (like when I did something like that for the N1) but not for someone who's the flash and forget type. :fingers-crossed:

If somebody have problems with the camera, use the camera Fix from here:

The bug is due to the old source code, released by HTC
If you are using a ROM based in 1.29.xxx.16 like the most of the new custom Roms flash just after the kernel.
Are the old camera libraries, that works with the Custom kernels.

[Q] Best Kernels

Hey, I have my Galaxy note 2 on stock rom, 4.1.2. Odexed
I was wondering which is the best kernel that supports swaping external memory on internal
I really need your help, i dont know which kernel I should choose, I was going to try redpill kernel but people are saying that it has battery draining problems
Please help me, I baby my note 2 and I would rather die than seeing my note 2 having issues, and thats why I dont flash custom roms
Or, if there is a way to swap external mem on internal with some kind of app or OTHER WAY THAN A KERNEL
Thanks
You can use search button for that script. And you have to use kernel with init.d support.
perseus has best battery life with good performance, high costumisation by stweaks. agni best performance set by trickster mod problem is i can't set over the gpu... neak is good but i think it,s not so smooth. that was a shot review of some kernel. my choice at the time is agni
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Perseus really does have the best battery drain.
But it lags in games.
Redpill has the best audio engine. Scoobydoo
Some members like. Neak more. Wolfson
Adam is currently going into the right way... You could. Try adam... Seems to. Ne. Very good.
Every custom kernel supports init.d.
Just flash the mod exsd2internalsd..... And you're good to go

Stock is the best kernel, if you care about performance. Period.
But you'll realize that after using a fluid ROM like ARHD, with stock ROM performance of all kernels felt same to me. Still if I had to choose one I'd go for N.E.A.K, as it is pretty straightforward with nifty features, just if it had the exFAT support!

I don't know on what basis you're making this claim, but anyways it's been the exact opposite for me - Redpill, Perseus, Devil all have great fluidity (had to mess about with the settings of Perseus a bit to eliminate the initial lag - but with no other) - and I haven't tried OC/UV much. Not to mention the headphone/speaker amp and saturation prevention options, screen calibration etc. which you miss out on stock.

The basis was my own testing with Perseus, Red Pill and even Adam, for a pretty long time. Not a single one was as fast and fluid as stock, even with the modified settings of stock kernel found here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41902544&postcount=4602
Oh, and as I said, if you are on stock ROM you won't notice anything, that's why I used Perseus as long as I was on stock ROM, but since I moved to ARHD, there was no other option other than stock.
Yes, I agree there are some advantages of custom kernels, like saturation prevention as you said, but no way I was giving up very noticeable performance degradation for some extra features without which I am not bothered at all. And since I installed Viper there are some amplifications, so that point is unchecked from custom kernels advantage list.
PS: If you have no problem could you send me your settings of whatever kernel you are using? I wanna try once more and see. Please don't bother if that kernel doesn't support exFAT.

I never ever stayed stock except for the while I had to send it to service. Otherwise I used redpill (exFAT supported) and I've noticed no difference at all from when I had stock unrooted. What's your issue - are you experiencing lag with custom kernels? Or what?
Fair point regarding Viper (love it and use it always myself), but FLL tuning and DAC resampling options make it sound better at that. IMO.
I stay on Perseus, mainly because of its color calibration and all the Stweaks customization features. Now if I use stock kernel, I feel my screen is completly unrealistic, almost fluorescent lol
As for performances, the Note 2 is just powerful enough not to see any difference between kernels. People using ARHD will always tell you that stock kernel is the best for the following reason: Mike1986 says stock is the best and won't give support if you're using another kernel. Period.
I'm using ARHD, but can't stand the fake colors and the lack of customization provided by stock kernel (no GPU overclock for example, no CPU overclock, nothing you can do if your "whites" are pink or blue, etc)

What the hell does this suppose to mean? Mike says.....blah blah....I don't care what Mike says! And what support are you talking about? I was on Perseus while I was using A.R.H.D, one can flash any kernel on ARHD, what to support there?
It's my view, and I am quite sure of all the ARHD users too, the stock kernel gives much more fluid and lag free performance than any other kernel available. Everybody likes customization, but as I said not with the price of performance compromise.
And you can OC GPU/CPU with Tegrak on Stock kernel. Get your facts straight before typing some gibberish.
Perfect example of why "best ROM/kernel" threads are not allowed.

[KERNEL][3.0.31]standard + working HDMI

Hi, if someone is willing to try this kernel I will appreciate !
I need more user input, I tested it only on Droid 4 but the user base is not so large as RAZR so I made a build for it.
the kernel is a clean 3.0.31 (almost) there are no additional stuff like those present on dtrail JBX kernel, no overclocking, and based on my tests I can say it's stable. Most of the my version of kernel where merged on dtrail's kernel.
you can see in the picture attached that the standby seems to be really good (on 1735mah)
you need to use safestrap 3.65 or overwrite the files directly in the rom image.
I repeat that I don't own a RAZR and I would appreciate your input.
Edit:
the sources are here:

07.04.2014 - improve hdmi detection, should work 1080p everywhere, hwc.c update is needed from your ROM maintainer
19.03.2014 - hdmi from kernel 3.4, my sony avr is now a good boy and outputs sound
18.03.2014 - fixed HDMI native cable and colors, 720p and sound over HDMI on my philips but 1080p over DVI, movies 1080p over HDMI, but no sound on my sony receiver without a monitor attached, please share your experience.
17.03.2014
WIP HDMI, on my philips monitor, hdmi - hdmi is not working, only hdmi - dvi, please test if this is working for you, the colors are reversed, hopefully i'll understand why, tested only on droid 4, please share your experience.

should work, I don't know if there are more stuff to be enable for UMTS except modifying the build.prop
droid 4 is made for cdma by default, but I use it on gsm
I don't know what is the average standby of the battery for razr, but for droid 4, only when the phone was in standby and not moved around would last about 20h, now I have 45% with 24h uptime and in the middle of the week.

I would like to know if someone else is having bad experience whit this (regarding to standby and not heavy usage, because lacking 100 mhz support), over jbx kernel thread I see lot of positive things after drtail incorporating it to his work.
I don't know what to think if this kernel is good on general omap4 without more tweaks or only on droid 4?
trying to merge parts of 3.4 or greater should be considered ? or is waste of time as I achieved my goals with this (except hdmi).

This kernel, JBX and also the Moto stock kernel are true hybrids. Means that there are many backports from higher kernel versions, like 3.4, 3.7, etc. In JBX are addituional backports from 3.8, 3.10, 3.11. In fact these kernels are very mixed Btw: Currenlty patching JBX to 3.0.72 --> 3.0.88.

I first started with nexus 101 but hashcode told me to rebase it to omapzoom 31, anyway they are getting the code to mainline kernel after we and other omapzoom users test it's stability
the goal is to have a better kernel in CM by standard and I don't know if your approach would be accepted, that's why I try to remain on the "vanilla" version but I don't know if the approach is good because lack of user input from other omap4 platforms.

I have spoken about this issues a few times in different thread since January of this year, however i will be more then willing to explain the details so that you can maybe reinvent the situation.Rom used "Cyanfox" with and without JBX, using a bluetooth headset along with any assistant program example "Dragon Mobile Assistant" app.Use it and the phone process goes into hearing what you say to the assistant, and that's when the problem occurs.The phone starts to freeze up and the lockups then reboots.If you attempt to do it again it will just repeat the same process every time.That is all i really know.I even tried to use different assistant programs and it would create the same problem.

using a swap partition

Has anyone every tried this on the z5c? what are your experiences?
the biggest bottleneck on the device is the ram (and the android system already uses a lot)
I have same question.
on my old sony i manage to do swap partition without any special kernel , just rooted and use auto app\terminal\script
ill do the same when my warranty will over
there is a zram built in to the aosp... is that the same?

Standard ZRAM is not bad, but it has to be optimized with patches to enable LZ4 compressor and then it will be fine.

Which custom ROM is the best?

Hello guys, i'm getting my OPX in about a week and i'm doing some research beforehand. My question is simple; Which custom ROM is the best one out there?
For now i have my eyes on cyanogenmod but i am wondering what your opinion is.
The only thing i need is for the ROM to be MM and it has to have support to use sdcard as main storage
Also i do have an additional question; Which camera app gives the best results?
Can you guys help me with this?
Thanks for the help
EDIT:
I have read some more around the site and i have found some tweaks that makes the camera better and stuff (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-custom-camera-hal-4k-uhd-dci-30-fps-t3315382) Is this any good?
Is there anything else i should know about?
There isn't a "best" ROM. Some are good in some aspects while others are better in other things. It all comes down to personal preference. Start by thinking of whether you are going for features, battery life or a bit of both and go from there. If you are a bit of a noob with ROMs leave you telegram, what's app, etc. and I'll be more than happy to help you

There isn't a "best" ROM. Some are good in some aspects while others are better in other things. It all comes down to personal preference.

In that case, i think im going to be happy with cm13, atleast that is what ill try first. Im going to try the camera 4k fix and see if that makes the camera better. Thanks for the help, i guess im going with what i thought i would do xD
If I can help you, I'm on SultanXda CM13 rom (25/06 build). I'm really happy with it, more than with OOS. I'm not a ''power user'' (I didn't even rooted my onyx at the moment :s). Everything i need work perfectly (GPS, SMS/MMS, gapps, calls, camera, alarm clock, some social media apps) and battery life is pretty decent (i have ~4h-4h30 SWOT with all ''****ty'' apps like twitter, facebook &co).

So how is the rom you are using compared to the official CM13 rom?
And also, have you tested the 4k camera "patch" ?
i can recommend sultan's cm13 as well
If you are going for pure CMish, be sure to give Sultan's Unofficial CM a try. It's basically stock CM13 with a custom kernel which greatly improved battery life and performances plus a few tweaks to make things easier. I get 5:30h - 6h of screen on time with medium usage.
Try it, you won't regret it
Sultans ROM already has the camera HAL included. It is his after all and it does way more than just enable 4k

I didn't try official CM13, the sultan CM13 works well, i stay with it . I have installed it from one week now, have only one issue of heating but only once and for less than 5 min (maybe because of facebook app **** ...). If you want a stable rom give it a try

I will, does sdcard storage work correctly?
mic issues on sultan's?
AoSPa. Was previously using CM13 but the mic seems problematic, tried aospa last night so far everything is smooth.
Yes, Sultan has both mic and SD storage issues. But you can easily fix those: you fix the external SD with either an xposed module or a zip in this forum; the mic is fixed by editing the build.prop
All the Roms are top notch In there own sense. Best way is read forums and ask questions on what your looking for. I keep going back to Xosp. It works flawless and with sparky kernel gives decent battery life. If you dont want the Sony apps you can just choose your own file/music/gallery apps.

Imo Sultan CM13
I am using Purity ROM. I find it quite efficient both in terms of battery and stable wise. Its better to take a poll and ask the users which ROM are they using. In that way, we can get to know the ROM that is used by many.
So which one is good in terms of battery life?
For Battery life

It is far better than the official cynogen mod nightlies.. I have used both... N sultan cm13 is much stable and runs perfectly with nice batyery life( 4 to 5 hr screen on time) but the only iasue i identified is '' OTG'' is not working.

AOSPA was really good, but the camera app ruined it for me. If you flash the OOS camera app it should be great. Not too sure about it's performance/battery life though, I didn't use it for too long
