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.

Question

I flashed nebula rom (rfs) a couple days ago and I am wondering exactly how to get ext4 from here (I still have old clockwork.

You can also refer me to a post or even better, make a post showing how to get ext4

Come on man all you have to do is go into the development section and go into.the.thread that says ported clockworkmod v.3.0.05 and do those steps. Just please look next time.

I looked there and I was just wondering if I could do this from my current rom and if I have to do anything other than usual when flashing a ext4 rom or do I just flash it right after I get clockwork 3 and wipe. Thx.

No once you flash the new cwm and flash the rom it.converts you to ext4. You dont need to do anything else. Just make sure.the rom you flash is usimg.edify.scripts cause.the.new cwm wont flash amend scripts.

Go to my nebula rom thread. Click on the instructions for EXT4. Do not flash CW3 as nebula doesn't support the edify scripts yet. Do what the instructions say.

K. Thanks. After that, if I want to flash a new rom I just do the normal routine?

Lost haptic feedback

Im flashing different kernel in my simply honey 3.5 JVH. Using sgs kernel flasher and after trying out 3 different kernel. And went back and flash one of my kernel backups. The stock kernel that comes with the rom. My home button does work but dont have haptic feedback. But the rest works perfectly. I know somebody can point me what did i mess up in my phone. And give me a good fix.... thanks in an advance...

The kernel with that rom is a custom kernel and key layout is designed in the rom for it only. If you've done the back up and don't have haptic that's very odd as haptic is now native to Samsung GB. I suggest re-flashing the kernel by using sgs kernel flasher and choose the rom zip as the kernel. It will auto extract only the kernel.
Other than that you can reflash the rom by simply flashing cf-root 3.2 and then use cwm app to flash the rom. It wont do a wipe this time because the new script will auto detect that you already have 3.5 so all your settings and apps will remain intact.

I use this method. Partition your sd card through recovery (backup everything on it first) convert to ext3 and install this app.

just like darktremor but easier and can be used on any and every rom

Wow I didn't think mtd helped that much with memory
But I've tried cm7 and honestly didn't like it much its the little bugs that bothered me honestly but I deffinately will be going with another mtd rom like thunderhawk when it turns mtd
How come I don't ever see anything about miui like cm7..? Ppl is it really that bad?

Most of the bugs have been worked out since moving to mtd and miui wasn't as big because more people like cyanogenmod as apposed to miui I guess. But there's nothing wrong with my cm7 anyways the new nightly *9* and the samurai kernel bushido8 works seemlessly for me you might want to give it a try there is also cleangb on mtd.
Sent From My Cyan Samurai

Tried CM7 for the third time and still not a fan. MIUI does not have 4G yet but they are working on it. I prefer converting your favorite ROM to MTD like I did with Legendary 2.1 and gaining 150MB of storage and the added stability.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Ok now I have just onee question
If I switched to cm7 and didn't like it could I normally flash cleangb without having to odin back to stock? Cuz I'm not around a computer much and would hate to be stuck with it until I get to a computer
I've tried cm7 b4 it had 4g and 4g was one of the biggest problems I didn't like it
But I think I will try it now
And u say samurai kernel would b the best to go with it? Not shadow..?

That's what I was thinking about doing
I use thunderhawk so I will probably convert it to mtd and use it
Just one questionn
I'm currently on thunderhawk
But if I converted it to mtd and flashed it would I have to wipe everything?
If I do have to wipe everything then would I at least b able to restore data?
And if I can't restore data then is there at least a way to sync or save my txts lol?? That's like the most important thing lol

You can flash anyother MTD ROM from CM7. I switch back and forth to nandroids of CM7 and MTD converted Legendary. So you can flash CleanGB MTD version and I would recommend a factory data reset before the flash since data won't work anyway.

That memory already exists on your phone. But the current Samsung layout has most of it dedicated to Cache. It seems that converting this partition to data storage thus far has no ill-effects. The only thing known to be affected thus far would be an OTA update, as that extra large cache space was needed to download and prep the update.zip file.
ThunderHawk 3.4 will be MTD when I learn a little more about the MTD process and how it works. One issue I've read is that, after converting to MTD and flashing several roms, the MTD will corrupt and you'll have to restart the process from the beginning.

I have been loving my manually converted mtd thunderhawk 3.3 setup with shadow mtd-tw-v02. I gained 191mb of extra storage, and was able to check cm7 for an hour or two and restore my thawk mtd nandroid without issue. Just make sure you know what minor differences you may run across before making the jump. Glad to hear 3.4 will probably be mtd! We have some awesome devs for this device.

Well that would b amazing ill b one of the first to download it and I wouldn't personally worry about that problem cuz I wouldn't flash any other roms unless there your updates but hopefully there will b a solution to stop that corruption but ill be waiting for your 3.4
