[Info]some info for ext4 - Galaxy S I9000 General

hello fellas
this was as pm for supercurio mentioned i cant send him one and cant answer/make a topic in the dev sektion so i decided to make a new topic in the general sektion if someone could give him the info ive got if he didnt knowed that, that would be nice
so the info ive got for you is:
a friend of mine got the nexus s (i9023) and i compared my sgs and the nexus s with the android system info tool cause i would like to know why its that bit better
1st thing i saw was that the 2 phones have exactly the same processor and gpu the only thing is that the nexus s got a few more sensors
so why its faster
at this point i looked at the mountpoints and what amazing surprise the whole nexus s runs on ext4 even the system, data, dbdata etc.
so my thoughts are that it could be worth to have a look at the nexus s sources cause of the same hardware of the phones i think that the missing features can be found there
im not a coder but im a linux enthosiast and more hardware interrested but i thought this could be usefull for making ext4 work on the sgs
so with the best regards
yours

Ext 4 Does work on the SGS, its called a lagfix, and anybody running a custom ROM / Kernel is probably using Ext 4.
unless i have misunderstood your post ???

I do not mean to be rude but you are approximately one year late with this idea of yours.

As far as I can tell the OP may have had one of three goals in mind when they put this post up:
1) The OP is saying that Ext4 would be a viable option for the file system on the SGS: Yes, this was discovered and almost universally implemented on custom ROMs and kernels here. In fact, searching for the term Ext4 in the i9000 forums brings up more than 250 threads where Ext4 is a keyword. The OP may even find some of them instructive.
2) The OP is saying that devs may be able to learn a new way to implement Ext4 on the i9000 by studying the file structure of the Nexus S: I would doubt that. The file system is the file system no matter the hardware it is mounted on, besides which everyone has already made very clear that as far as Android implementation the Nexus S and the SGS line are pretty much identical.
3) The OP was trying to illustrate WHY Supercurio doesn't accept random PMs: Mission accomplished.

lol i knowed that my sgs runs on that lagfix
but there are missing features in 2.3.3 and it seems that the the nexus s (also running 2.3.3 and the same processor) has that missing features implemented in the kernel
or im wrong what supercurio writes in his post about the ext4 lagfix on 2.3.3 for the sgs

Try any Custom Kernel, Speedmod, Voodoo Stable, DamianGTO, Dark Core & many more. All have the option to convert all partitions to ext4.
Or you can try Darky, Docs, Juwe's or any other Custom Rom, The Kernels included with all custom roms usually support conversion to ext 4.
And yes ext4 on SGS make it Super fast. I use it personally & really like the fast response of ext4 compared to RFS.
Just try it. If you are on stock Rom I would suggest to try a custom kernel from Development Section of this forum to see how it feels. Search for any of the kernels i mentioned & follow the installation instructions there.

so let me get clear
supercurio writes here:
[KERNEL] Hacked Lagfix/Ext4 Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread - JVB
that there are missing features in the kernel of 2.3.3 jvb
my thoughts are that these missing features can be found in the nexus s kernel sources cause it runs also an 2.3.3 release of android

Galaxy S is not as fast as NS because of bad samsung coding and bad framework implementation. Try CM7 on SGS and see it is as fast.
I now use with samsung s gingerbread - jfs filesystem and I can see it s faster than ext4 but still not cm7 fast (which has ext4).

Which is better????Voodoo latest stable or Hardcores k10i...lets compare here...

Guys many people are fond of Supercurios voodoo and Hardcores Kernels...lets discuss and make it easy for people to choose from the best....
one man's poison is another man's medicine..
wellll i have tested the latest hardcore's k10i wid ext4all lagfix and its very good...no lag...and i m very fond of supercurios voodoo too..i had tested his test version and it ws fast too but i think it just lacked in the battery usage..i think so...bt i have not tested his latest stable version yet....lets c wat others have to say...
So me, Voodoo Final is much better than the RC. Not sure about K10i. I heard its good too.
Both are excellent Kernels. What I m personnaly doing is putting the voodoo first so that all partitions including /System get converted to Ext4 then put Hardcorer's K10i over it. this way I get the best out of both (hardcore doesn't convert /system and you have to ignore the conversion request when you first start your phone following Hardcore's kernel flash)

as i said in d post...i like both the kernels... bt its just to help people to select their kernel in a better way...no objection to any of d developer...
If you got the ULK ext4 with ext2 mounts and unbounded you will get high scores in quadrant..
but currently i would say voodoo kernel is better and more safe.. /sytem is converted to ext4
IMO, I agree in saying, this topic is not something that should belong here
I've read somewhere , using idle for 9 hours , 0 % battery drain with new K10i 256Hz, if it's real, it's ****ing awesome... i got 5% battery drain on 7 hours on Wifi ON just try today on my C.M. 6.1 and i'm happy the same

Sounds really nice!
But didn't know that Hardcore doesn't convert /system. I think i will also try flashing voodoo first and then hardcore over voodoo...
OT: @ale0crysis: from your signature: "32 GigaByte Class 10 Sandisk"? Never heard of a 32GB Class microSD. Do you have the exact model?
I was on JPU with Voodoo but had problems with Skype calls. Voice was not clear lagging and can't hear each other even with WIFI.
On the other hand I was using JPO with Speedmod kernel, Skype was awesome, working increadibly..
But I am not sure whether it was kernel or ROM release affecting..

[Q] Some slightly newbish Questions

Hey Guys I have done a little searching and haven't found the answers to my particular questions.
I came from a MotoD1 and had done plenty of custom Rom flashing and I feel pretty comfortable with the whole process. Now my question is about the selection for the Galaxy S (specifically the Fascinate) phones. I see all these vodoo lagfixes and ext file system fixes and the like. Maybe I am over thinking this all but I am confused.
On the D1 you picked out the ROM you wanted and made sure the kernel was the correct for your version on android (Eclair, Froyo, etc.) And some times you found a ROM and kernel that just didnt work too well together.
Is the Vodoo kernel just a group of guys doing it like Chevy and P3Droid and I can flash it to any compatible versions of and android rom? or is it something slightly different?
An dwhat exactly is the lagfix?

Wrong section, please post in general.
Voodoo is lagfix. Lagfix fixes the lag. Though with the newer kernels, the lag isn't noticeable really. Join the irc and we will be happy to help you.

Unable to flash Voodoo Kernel

Hey guys.
as title says. i am unable to flash Voodoo's kernel on my SGS.
I tried flashing with CWM and Odin and still didn't get it to work.
I hope someone out there can assist me fix this annoying issue.
It also didn't work when flashing Darky v9.2 resurrection, after flashing with Odin and booting for the first time and installing darkyROM manager from the market and choosing my options including Voodoo Kernel and save and exit then reboot to flash it i just get normal 2e recovery.
thanks for having the time reading my post
I have the same problem and no answer. So i changed to Speedmod ^^
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967363 -<<< 75 Klicks and no answer. Maybe Voodoo is not so popular as Speedmod
damn.....
this is really weird, and the weird part is how none even replied or commented on your thread!
this is sad.
lets hope that someone will shed some light on us
Yes 2 poor boys in the same boat
But for me it´s ok....
I´ve seen that nobody is interested that Voodoo runs at all SGS´s to the contrary to Speedmod where i get much support
Let's make that 3 poor guys on the same boat.
I have the exact same problem as susdiehl. Logs says model not detected.
All I read about it is that my MBR is corrupted. But still haven't found how to fix that.
Supercurio suggested to do this: dd if=/voodoo/partition_tables/8GB of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1 seek=446
This did something, and a conversion has started and completed, but then the phone wouldn't boot not even for hours.
Have you guys installed SpeedMod K13C? does this works well?
i have the same problem so i just use speedmode its works.

Yes im on k 13 c and everything is fine.no lagfix only the recommend tweaks.if i try to switch to ext4 with speedmod it works.
There is no reason for me to switch again to voodoo.
damn i see our boat is going to sink
regarding Hardcore's SpeedMod k13c its running great so far. I flashed it on the day it was released.
well the only thing that is annoying me badly is that i run on Darky's ROM and Darky himself optimise's his Rom for using Voodoo's kernels, and it really sucks that i can even experience what Darky recommends for his Rom's.
again lets all hope someone will show up and be able to assist us
Darky says take the Voodoo but the majority says this:
well thats true but i think Darky knows his Rom better.

I've flashed speedmod and activated the lagfix. To be honest, I think I didn't needed lagfixes at all, because I haven't seen too much difference in use.
Anyway, it is done now. I'm sure later the difference will show up
Looks like voodoo is dead... Damians kernel is awesome

its really sad how none can comment on what we are facing..

have you tried darky's resurection?
try that or a full rom with repartition than flash voodoo
report back
you could contact supercurio again perhaps he is interested in finding out what causes that
btw i like voodoo alot had major problems with data on speedmod now i am on cm7 but i am hoping supercurio will add voodoo features to cm7 (as a seperated modded kernel) too

His kernel uses ext2, which other developers refuse to use due to a possiblity of damaging your phone.
In my experience, ext2 isn't any faster than ext4, not that I can notice.

ICS ROMs

I just felt the need to vent, and I'm not knocking anybody down because a lot of people have really been working hard. But... all these ICS ROMs are already getting boring. Don't get me wrong I love ICS more than GB and I'm gonna stick with it, and I know it takes the devs time to adjust but there are so many ICS roms out now and they ALL look the same for the most part. Just like with GB, I know the devs have to go in and make a few builds and get used to the framework before any super custom theming comes out, but I just wanna say I personally can not wait for this adjustment phase to be gone so we can get some of those KICK ASS themed ROMs. Right now its really all about what runs the smoothest, and I have to give props to all the devs that are working on ICS, I myself haven't forced myself to make that huge clone into the repo. I know I'm speaking for a lot of folks when I say BRING ON the themed ROMs!!! Thanks for giving me a place to vent. I personally don't have enough skill yet with theming, I've only kanged a few ROMs and themed them for myself only and made a couple small GB builds, I know its very time consuming, so keep up the good work and I can't wait to have my mind blown!!
Go Facebook about it.
*if you didn't wipe /system and /boot it is NOT A FULL WIPE*
Better to have roms to complain about then to have none to even flash. I personally find a good from and stay put. No sense in flashing roms all the time and then having to start over. I love to see all the development. I have a nexus, galaxybs 4g and a galaxy sII tmo and the nexus seems to be the only one active with new stuff. Time will bring theming. I just want a smooth from with some small additions for now
No sense in theming a rom when Google will probably be updating ICS soon.

I here that why would anyone want to be constantly wiping and flashing roms. I just cHeck out a thread see if there aren't a ton of this doesn't work, and I'll flash that.
Sure there are bugs it's a new code base. As for themes.....maybe I'm missing the point but since we all run all vanilla code for the most part
Shouldn't the themes to flash on top be in the "apps and themes section"
Let the soon to be software/ or experienced engineers to the enhancements, and the soon to be/or experienced graphical designers design themes

What he said ^
A full wipe is required if switching ROMs. Many think a full wipe is just a factory reset and they run into problems.

Good and stable ROMS

Hey guys, so I'm kinda new at doing custom roms and kernels and I'm super eager to learn everything. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone succesfully yesterday. But of course, rooting the nexus s is a must to install custom roms.
I want to know what you guys think are GOOD and STABLE ROMS where everything seems to function.
I was looking at the nexusshacks website and they have the AOKP kang jellybean ROM but I'm hearing from a bit of people that not everything works and it freezes at the boot screen. also there's a problem that apparently you cant see your gallery and music, and also data doesnt work on it.... I just want something that works good and is stable and gives me good battery life!
Thanks for your time

The best thing about these ROM is you can try them for yourself and see if it work for you.
A lot of people don't follow the instruction and complain all the time, there are people enjoying the ROM and you will never hear from them. My respect to the developers who do great work, because of them I have the latest and best android experience ever, for the last two years I have no need to upgrade my phone.
Try them all.

Hi
Rooting isn't a must for installing custom roms you can always use fastboot tool to install custom recovery
I've flashed one million custom roms to my i9023. And what I learned from it is flashing most of them was just a waste of time. However, if I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have known what to choose now. Gingbread roms are really fast and responsive. However they are not so smooth when it comes to scrolling. Also gingerbread roms lack a lot of nice features that come in later builds.
ICS was a misunderstanding for me. It was slow, laggy but the functionality was better than gingerbread. I was ready to sell my nexus because of that disappointment.
Finally Jelly Bean came along. And that, my friend is something different. Project butter makes the phone so smooth, scrolling is superb, animations and applications seems so smooth now. Speed of gingerbread(almost) and looks and functionality of ics
You can try every rom you can. You're gonna waste a lot of time just on flashing restoring, flashing and restoring and so on. You might even get frustrated. Or you can try this and simply start liking your phone

This is pretty stock, just the way I like it. It's freaking smooth, it hardly ever lags, perfect to bring you some smile from using your nexus most of other roms always come up with some bug or lack of some feature that works on stock rom. The rom I mentioned simply works. Trust me and install this one and you won't regret

cool thanks man... ONE question before I begin... Im assuming the kernel is already in the ROM .zip file here right? Now if the kernel is seperate do you just add into the SD card like adding a ROM to the sd card? do you have to do anything under recovery?
Kernel is included. Just install this rom from the recovery kernels are always in a zip file, you install them like you install a rom.
But this time you don't have to even think about the kernel, because it's already built into whole rom zip file
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
the pic & music issue is probably related to the bad Rom manager app update that put .nomedia files where they didn't belong.
I always run a new/updated Rom with its baked in kernel for a day or two to see how it does before flashing a separate kernel, unless I have major issues related to the baked in kernel. Not all devices act the same, even on the exact same setup.

If you're new to the whole flashing game with the android devices id say start with Flashing Custom Kernels. So you can get the the feel for what just the kernel can do for your phone. There's a couple well named ones that you might hear a lot about like the Matr1x Kernel, GLaDOS Kernel, Thalamus Kernel. For the most part a few of them have the same stuff but certain Kernels run faster or smoother. Once you get the hang of that then move to Custom ROMS. As everyone says you kinda have to try out Everything for yourself as 2 people can have 2 completely different experiences with flashing. Essentially though, the Names that you see a lot are typically the most liked ROMS and Kernels for there Features and Stability.
Happy Flashing
I think its the other way around due to fact that I would not recommend flashing a kernel over stock ota without backing up first. Reason for this is that if you want to get an ota update with the stock ROM it won't work if the kernel is different from the one Google provides (experienced this problem while trying to flash a completely stock Google provided rom). So I would first flash a ROM and test it, trying as many features and see if that's what I like and then start experimenting with different kernels as most might not be stable for your particular phone. I am a vanilla Android type of person nonetheless.
Note: the rom a developer chooses are most likely the ones that he thinks are the most stable so in theory you should not run into any problem with it.

Hey guys i really appreciate the advise. Just to let you all know, I flashed AOKP kang ROM and it's so smooth and quick. I also flashed a matrix kernel v.22 (believe its the cfc version). However, I was really hoping to overclock my cpu a little to get some better gaming performance. I'm looking everything under the ROM settings and the actual phone settings to see if there's anything to change for the cpu.
How do I overclock the cpu??? I know there's customizable roms where you can overclock the cpu for games then tone it down for normal usage and what not; that's really what I wanted.

I use a an APP called "NSTools" or "SetCPU"
I'm order to oc, you must be using a kernel that supports oc. The matr1x 22.5 (his jb version) doesn't support oc, but he should have a new version it soon. I can't say if it can be overclocked though.

good question.. personally I use codename (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839249) with air kernel(that supports oc, even if I set max cpu 1000 as default).. really fast, no lags with good battery life and everything seems work great. I've tried a lot of roms and a lot of them are really good (I like to change a lot) and in my opinion you have to try a lot of them and chose your favourite
p.s.every time you flash a rom or kernel is better to make a backup(and then a wipe), so if something went wrong you can restore the phone as it was before.. sometimes kernel is not included in rom, you have to check it in phone informations.

good question.. personally I use codename (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839249) with air kernel(that supports oc, even if I set max cpu 1000 as default).. really fast, no lags with good battery life and everything seems work great. I've tried a lot of roms and a lot of them are really good (I like to change a lot) and in my opinion you have to try a lot of them and chose your favourite
p.s.every time you flash a rom or kernel is better to make a backup(and then a wipe), so if something went wrong you can restore the phone as it was before.. sometimes kernel is not included in rom, you have to check it in phone informations.
I hope this was what you needed

Hey I actually checked out that codename jellybean thread you showed me... I clicked on the link and their zip is 3.1.0 and i have 3.3.2 downloaded on my computer.... I got the file from nexusshacks.com - am i missing something? Also, Im not sure if there's a kernal that comes with it, so i was wondering if there is any kernels and if there is, do you have a link?:cyclops:
EDIT: I'm going to have to apologize to AOKP. I think the ROM i was running on my phone was a buggy ROM, the unstable one before BUILD 1. I didnt realize this until I watched a video on nexusshacks.com.. but either way i flashed codename jellybean

I gave you the link with 3.3.2.. even because it's the same ad 3.3.0 but updated:laugh:
kernel is not included in that rom.. I use air kernel, which has everything you asked for (use nstools to control it). this is the link
