Root exist.

Flash supercurio's kernel for gingerbread. It will automatically convert the partitions to ext4.

Question: EXT4 on Stock(Rooted) Rom

Are there any roms out there that are completely stock(Rooted) that support EXT4? Also are there any custom OC'd Kernels yet for stock 2.2.1. (Rooted).

No. Only a handful of CUSTOM roms support ext4. Try one of those. They're all very nice. And be sure to follow all of the directions to the letter or you could end up having to start over from scratch.

Ok. Do you know which one is closest to stock in terms of appearance?

try mammon_bonsai4all, it has the (updated) stock launcher and it also supports ext4 and RFS (so even if you dont have ext4, you can still flash the rom)
Please post questions in General section.
You can use any DK28 rom with ext4 as long as you flash an ext4 compatible kernel immediately after flashing the rom and before you reboot. You may lose clockwork 2.5.1.2 if the rom you use doesn't include it, but you can manually put it back.

Xwjvb using rfs

Hi all I have been searching the web from my galaxy s and found that gingerbread should be using ext4. I downloaded terminal emulator and typed mount it says im still using rfs ? I belive im running the official xwjvb. Im supppsed to do anything to change this of is that normal for that firm ware.sorry if this is repost but couldnt find anything from google or xda app for andriod.

Samsung's GB uses RFS by default... sorry! Unless ofcourse you "lagfix" it into EXT4...
I just thought I read that the gingerbread update was going to change that. http://m.androidcentral.com/gingerbread-brings-ext4-file-system-new-devices . Or is the galaxy s exempt from this?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No prasad007 is correct.the sgs file system is rfs.its a matter of opinion and personal choice whether to convert to ext4

No, you have seen that the Nexus S switch from yaffs2 to ext4 for the Google's Nexus phones line, nothing else. And as Galaxy S isn't the Nexus S..
No I did voodoo lagfix

Then you're on EXT4 FS now...

No change

I had 2.3.3 JVO on my galaxy s and i rooted using cf root. I then flashed GingerReal 5.0 and it also gave me clockworkmod 2.5.1.8 (if i remember correctly) and voodoo lagfix. I now get around 1500 on quadrant. However, i notice no change it the overall performance of my phone. Apps still dont open straight away. How do i know if im using ext4?
Try downloading fuguapp from the market.

If /sdcard/Voodoo/ folder has no "Disable lagfix" file/folder in it, you're on EXT4...
It doesn't but in voodoo control under voodoo lagfix it says Ext4 lagfix active and Ext4 on /system /cache /dbdata /data

Hmmmm, I cant tell any difference in the performance. Say if I'm on the XDA app and go off it by pressing the home button, the next time I go on it it will be like I exited using the back button.

maybe a repartition will help you see full performance. I did it and felt the difference very much.

I've now tried darky's 10.1 aswell as GingerReal. On both roms I had the voodoo lagfix enabled and ext4. Darkys is supposedly the fastest and most popular rom and I still can't tell the difference in the performance of my phone even though I am getting around 1400 - 1700 on quadrant.

I'm on jvp.2.3.4 ext4 and have to say jvo 2.3.3 was smoother and felt quicker - despite quadrant saying otherwise. I still haven't seen a 2.3.4 change log so very interested to know what improvements I'm supposed to be getting.
In fairness though jvp is a leaked rom of course and may not yet be ready for production

I'm not on jvp. I flashed ficetos jvh so I could flash darky's 10.1

Give a try to Talon 2.1 for JVH, 2.2 for JVP.
It gave me the best result on both roms as yet.

What tool are you using for converting scripts?
updater-script can be converted manualy but i dont know how to convert update binary
EDIT:you can also use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903598
EDIT2: this program works but got wrong mount path for example it is not /dev/block/stl9 to mount system you can use newest minicm to check that.

Thanks. I tried it before, but without success.
I gave it another chance and I manually changed mountpoints like this:
/dev/block/mtdblock0 on /system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 on /data
/dev/block/mtdblock1 on /cache
and it works (tested on FroyoBread themes).
I used update-binary from ClockworkMod Recovery thread

Default mount partition is rfs..
Kernel can make other partition like ext4 can run..
type "cat /proc/mounts". you'll get all the visible partition info there
