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).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

[Q] Kernel

I just flashed the new virtuous unity rom and when I checked the kernel it says unavailable. I downloaded the kernel zip file from their website and when I tried to flash that file it says "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted."
I'm a beginner when it comes to stuff like this and if someone can help me please put it in terms that I can understand. Thanks.

which kernel version are you trying to flash? which version of clockworkmod do you have installed? I think its a known issue that in the "About Phone" menu, sense 3.0 roms dont show the kernel version, but it will show up in setcpu. answer the first 2 questions and we'll go from there

Its kernel Unity V2... U can see it via terminal by typing "uname -a" then enter

I have clockword 3.0.2.4 and im trying to flash virtuous kernel stock v4.

Don't want to be rude intentional or otherwise, but when I was using the panache rom I didn't needed any mods for my usual uses, then came this wonderful ROM and as far I can say I don't need any mod, this is such a nice rom and so far every thing works, all the games works battery life is excellent, speed is good,
Why would you want to try or use other kernel?
Sent from my My Touch 4G using XDA Premium App

I don't want to use another kernel. It says "unavailable" on my kernel version that's why I tried to flash the stock kernel. But the message from my original post showed. Now that I mentioned it. After flashing this rom, whenever I try to flash something it always says installation aborted.

Can anyone help?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

You are still stuck with flashing stuff? Why
If you mean installing applications failed that's other problem you need to reflash your ROM as you must have messed up the rom by flashing the kernel.

Installation a aborted is usually due to a corrupt download. Check md5 sums to make sure its a good download. Try downloading the file and flash again... On a side note, no matter which kernel u flash with the unity Rom it will say kernel version unavailable. If u want to see the kernel version, open terminal emulator and type
Su
uname -a
Sent from my My Touch 4G using XDA Premium App

Do u think reflashing the rom will help?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Help what? No one running virtuous unity is able to view their kernel in settings...it says unavailable. You didnt do anything wrong except thinking you did and trying to flash different kernels lol

Last question. When I restore a back up do I need to wipe data and all the other stuff?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Yes whenever reverting back to something or flashing a new ROM it is always better to flash from a clean base. You are on the right track from the sounds of it. Just remember that when flashing a kernel you only need to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.

b-eock: I just want to get some clarification on the installation process. I believe the installation process for getting to MIUI changed a while ago where you no longer need to flash the cm7-initial kernel, efs backup, etc. You just have to be on 2.1/2.2 bootloaders and have CWM installed then flash the MIUI zip (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
Would this process not be the same for GalaxySense or am I missing something?

Which kernel? When you flash MIUI, it includes it's own kernel correct? So would it be the MIUI stock kernel that you need?
And about backing up EFS, if MIUI no longer requires that step, as in it does this as part of the flash process now, why is it necessary to do it before flashing MIUI? Just trying to get clarification. Seems kind of strange to me.
This states using the new CM7/MIUI flashing procedures as well.

I will try this in the night!

GalaxySense has existed since April for the Galaxy S i9000 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044637). This is simply a port to run it on the Captivate (which has also existed since April or May by following the Escapists instructions).
Projects like this is why an AOSP based kernel is so important. AOSP removes all of Samsung's proprietary issues and allows any other ROM that has been ported to AOSP to be ported to the Captivate. CyanogenMod, MIUI, and GalaxySense are all using the same sources to build from..

Same with me. However I was able to get into cwm and flash a Talon kernel and that let me boot. Makes me wonder if a kernel was included in this rom or not cause my cwm was the same Samurai kernel.

ok thanks yall.
im going to update and try and figure out what i did wrong.
sorry for the troubles
might be in the morning ,getting late here

after flashing 9000 bootloaders, i was able to complete the install but it just bootloops at gt-i9000 screen

I have it up and running. I was boot looping but I managed to get to recovery and flash a new kernel. try that.

You should try replaacing the kernel with a novoo XCAL kernel that matches your framework. That will fix the bootlooping problem.

Were you able to port 5.2 as well. It's by far the smoothest rom I've ever used on the Captivate.
