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:
what version of twrp is the best for f2fs?
i use the m4 but it crashes when formating f2fs partitions in f2fs, amongst other things.
This is working good.
twrp_3.1.0-1_inline_17-03-12.img
Use twrp 3.1 by strix, and if wiping gives you error check rm-rf in seetings,(you have to use some other recovery to format to f2fs , I used zcx after that flash twrp 3.1) ,hit thanks if this helped

Lineage os support f2fs?
When i try to change in latest twrp system partition to f2fs its revert to ext4. Why? Data and cache f2fs format is working.
So a few months back, I decided to format my data partition to F2FS and see how it works, so I used orangefox rec. and it successfully changed the data partition from ext4 to F2FS.
But today, I wanted to get back to ext4, and so i went to orangefox and formatted my data partition to ext4. And then i rebooted, But after rebooting, it was still showing F2FS for data partiton, so i again changed file system to ext4 and this time, i formatted data as well. But even after doing that, when i rebooted, it was still showing me F2FS.
So pretty much , Im stuck on F2FS.
Can anyone help me how to fix this? I have used fastboot to try and force change the data partiton to ext4 , but it just gives errors.
Hey,
basically the title. I have rooted my Redmi Note 10 as i am doing some analysis using autopsy. Surprisingly, i was unable to analyse the userdata partition as autopsy does not support f2fs. I was not expecting a f2fs data partition as the system partition is also formatted as ext4. Without switching to a custom ROM, is it possible to force MIUI 12.5.5 to use ext4 by re-formatting and re-flashing the device?
in my humble opinion you shouldn't mess with partitions
Well, that does not solve my problem^^ I tried to change the partition using TWRP. However, whenever i flash the MIUI ROM, the process formats the userdata partition back to f2fs. Even TWRP will reformat the userdata partition to f2fs when i format the data. Where is defined to which format TWRP formats the partitions? Has anyone an idea on how to solve this issue?
