Question about ext4

So I was wondering if the ext4 only works with roms or how can I get it to work with my stock rom that's rooted. I like the stock two launcher with the dk28 and I want to keep it like that. Thanks for your help in advance

Most ROMS will indicate if they have ext4 support or not. Read the release notes and see if they mention ext4. If they mention ext4 in the title, they do support it. If in doubt, post a question about it in the thread to ask the developer if they do and if not, if/when will they get it.
To get ext4, just use Daemon's CWM3 method to upgrade to ext4 and then flash an ext4 ROM.

Follow the instructions in the ext4 thread to convert to ext4. Then, flash your dk28 from clockwork, followed immediately by flashing a kernel that supports ext4.

Ok thanks for your help ill try that

Just remember to flash the kernel after the rom and before you reboot the phone and you'll be fine.
The kernel may only be available with the older amend scripts so you may need to use clockwork 2.5.1.0 and 2.5.1.2 to flash it.
Make sure you have the recovery redirector installed. If you have run the one-click root and recovery v2.5.5, then you have it.
Get the the one click ext4 from this thread. It says this method is deprecated, but it works just the same. Read the instructions before you do anything with it. Get the dual file system kernel from this thread.. And you can use noobnl's pre-rooted and redirected DK28 from this thread.
Since you are still on DK28, I would flash the prepare.zip, reboot to 2.5.1.2, run the one-click .bat file, flash dk28, flash the kernel, and tTHEN reboot. Then you will probably need to either reinstall cwm 2.5.1.2 (using the prepare.zip) or go ahead and install cwm 3. It sounds complicated, but it isn't that bad. Waiting for everything is the worst part.

Yes the rom has to be ext4 compatable. Make sure you flash the kernel after the rom.

Looking for ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 to flash over 2.5.1.0. Just can't seem to find it.

A link or a file, either would be great. I keep finding CW 3.x and 2.5.1.0, but never 2.5.1.2 for Epic. Please, someone point the way.
Many thanks.

To get to .2 boot into clockwork go to advanced and reboot recovery. That should put you into .2
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

This thread is where you need to go. Get the one-click ext4 zip. Inside it is a file called prepare.zip. Flash prepare.zip to add 2.5.1.2 to your phone if the rom you have doesn't already have it. Then, if you death-grip into recovery, you will see 2.5.1.0. Select advanced->reboot recovery to reboot into 2.5.1.2.

Thank you guys. I do need to flash since I never have flashed 2.5.1.2 prior.
I also found a similar file inside the viper 4.0.2b ROM package.
Follow up question, inside the flash, in addition to the recovery files, I see:
/system/etc/mke2fs.conf
/modules/ext4.ko
/modules/jbd2.ko
I presume these are for ext4. I plan to stay with RFS for now. I was looking for 2.5.1.2 because I want to use the latest Bonsai ROM (coming from stock DK28) and it seems to call for it, even with RFS. Will these extra files cause any issues later?
Thanks again.

I don't think that is going to work with Bonsai! 2.0.0 or > howeverif it does work please post your results in the bonsai4all thread

Thanks for pointing this out. I mis-read the post. In the original post, while beneath the "Latest News", it is written that RFS not supported in V2.0, immediately below that, under "Next Release News", it is written that "No more RFS...". Based on "Next Release", I thought it would be the version after the current. That, along with the instructions on the second post for RFS, I falsely figured...
I guess it's all for not.
I am stuck at SAMSUNG anyhow (after Reboot Recovery from 2.5.1.0). Can't get to 2.5.1.2...
Edit: On the Stuck on SAMSUNG issue, I re-flashed the latest 1-click from HERE, then re-flashed the .2 prepare/flash first .zip, and all is good. I can get into .2 now.

So the big question is whether you can create a swap disk with 2.5.1.2?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I flashed 2.0.1 with no problem using 2.5.1.2 but i was already converted to ext4. Flashing it would put you on ext4 and add cwm3

now that I know how to update it to 2.5.1.2 my question is-
should I?
I have no real reason to do so. I don't intend to do any further modifications to my ROM, just going to stick with the pre-rooted 2.2 I have. Would there be any benefit to updating CWM in this case?

The only reason to get 2.5.1.2 was to be able to flash to ext4. And then cwm 3 simplified the conversion to ext4. If you don't intend to convert to ext4, then there is no reason to get anything other than 2.5.1.0.

It adds ext4 and negates the need for cwm3 iirc.

BravoX RC2 rom help!

I recently rooted my phone and want to install a custom rom. I bought bandroidx's recovery app and hope to install his custom rom. unfortunately im a bit of a noob and don't know how to use the app properly. Can any one provide some more detailed instructions for this process than what is posted with bandroidx's release thread.
Thanks in advance.

Download the ROM zip to your sdcard, then open the app and bootstrap recovery, then reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache (in advanced) and then choose to install zip from sdcard and select the rom zip you downloaded earlier. :O

Thanks heydabop
Also if i needed to flash back to my old rom how should i back up my current stock froyo?

I'd do a backup with titanium backup, and then also backup in recovery by going to backup and restore.

You can also flash the "SBF" file using RSDLite, that takes you back to a 100% stock configuration.

Not sure about the custom ROM, but bandroidx's Bravo Overclock is very sweet!!

Thanks everyone I appreciate it!

Hi people a noob question:
I'm on stock V20G 2.3.3 rom just rooted and I want to install this battery theme with power-menu too :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141490
I tried,but my phone reboot and reboot.Can't switch off.I need to unplug the battery.Does it requires a deodexed rom?Or I need to do some cache clean after install?Now I've reverted with nandroid backup,but I really like that theme.
Ok nevermind,solved.I've cooked by myself a mod in UOT Kitchen.It works perfectly.

K,here it is my uot file.
No powermenu anyway.Too complicated for me.Just blue theme circular battery and different font
Hope you like guys.

doesn't work for me made my status bar disappear

;-D
u need to have a Deodexed ROM to implement that, ROM's which are not deodexed will give errors,
just follow the Steps on the main thread and patch the v2 update and everything works smooth
the whole process took me just 15mins now i m on gingerbread 2.3.3 v2 with franco's latest kernel and the circular battery and power menu mod.
read before u start messing with ur phone ppl
;-)

My rom is not deodexed, it is the standard stock LG rom,with root and custom kernel V3 by PaoloM (author of gingerlol rom).
Try to erase cache and reflash the zip.
Otherwise try to learn OUT Kitchen as I did,it's not difficult

same thing happened to me
i am on gingerlol 1.5 i think it is deodexed
i also tried cooking one on uot kitchen but it is giveing me recovery error (Status 0) and the workaround is also not helping
also power menu shows null instead of recovery and reboot menu
help

I have the same setup like you have bilbo75 (stock 2.3.3 rooted with v3 paolo kernel) .
Do you think it will work on my phone?
I ask because i tried earlier to use ringnofade from paolo and i had no gsm afterwards.

I tried the kitchen too and it works well for stock 2.3.3 rom

You have already a rooted rom.Install Cyanogen ROM Mik's 6.5.8. I already did it.Really awesome(Thanks Mik!)If you are scaried to change the baseband, you can flash Cyanogen 7.2.0 of Adfad666 here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436952#5 (The N-series is for new baseband like your phone).Then you will find tons of themes (here and on the market) for the app "Theme Chooser".
If you still prefer stick with stock rom,read the istructions on UOT Kitchen's site.There isn't any black magic.Just read carefully and do a Nand Backup before !!!

customizing
Hello ppl,
I'm using UOT Kitchen from http://uot.dakra.lt and i can tell you that is working with odexed and deodexed roms for any patch that would you like to apply to your stock rom or custom rom.
The customized POWER MENU MOD+circular battery that bilbo75 is asking for is only for deodexed Gingerbread stock or custom roms. If anyone that is on stock or custom rom will flash this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141490) POWER MENU MOD+circular battery on a odexed rom will get into bootloop.
Also who would like to have ringnofade on their Optimus one there is a solution for both odexed and deodexed, stock or custom Gingerbread roms.
So Gingerbread users stock or custom roms, odexed and deodexed for RingNoFade you have to follow these steps:
0. You must be rooted to can apply the patch.
1. Download RingNoFade from this link http://www.multiupload.com/WVF9LLTMCT and put it in the root of SD CARD not in any directory
2. Reboot in recovery (I use clockworkmod)
3. Make Backup for further restore in case something goes wrong
4. Wipe dalvik-cache and wipe cache partition (Wipe dalvik-cache is in Advanced into Clockworkmod)
5. Choose: Install zip from SD CARD and select the ringnofade_2.3.3.zip
6. Flash it
7. Reboot.
After flashing is taking a while to boot because you have wiped dalvik-cache and cache partition but this is because the system has to rebuild them so don't worry it will boot.
If you don't wipe dalvik-cache and cache partition you will get FC (force close) and NO SERVICE.
Have fun with flashing. I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.

I did read up the differences between odex and deodex roms.. but one small query..
how do i determine if My ROM is odex or deodex?
I'm on stock rooted GB..
Thanks in advance

check with Root Explorer or any other app like Root Explorer in /system/app and /system/framework for *.odex files. If you have them you are odexed.
If you just rooted your phone from non-rooted stock rom, then for sure your are odexed.

[Q] Superclean MS2

Hello all. Somewhat new to flashing ROM's but not rooting. I'm wanting to flash the SC MS2. I've got a good backup using the CWM without issue. But now kind of looking for straight-forward info on the ROM flash. I've looked at the SC MS2 thread from skynet11 and I'm not sure what Atlas is for so I'm hesitant to move on.
I'd like to think that since I've got my backup of the ROM and data/apps, I can just use three-button on the phone and flash from the SD.
Any suggestions/guidance is appreciated.
Cheers

What rom/kernel are you currently running? That will determine how you proceed with flashing SC MS2.

The Atlas file is for getting your phone back to stock and will come packaged with the stock rom - and you flash stock roms via Odin. Custom roms are flashed via cwm. Place .zip on SD card, boot to recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, and flash

Its on EH03 and kernel version is 2.6.35.7
How should I proceed? Wipe and then Flash with cwm? Or do I even need to wipe the data?
Thanks again for your help. Hopefully as I learn more I can contribute back as well.

Once you have CWM properly installed, download the Superclean MS2 .zip file into your SD card. (Make sure the .zip is OK, first).
Then go into CWM and wipe data/factory reset 1st. Then select "install zip from SD card". Then select "choose zip from SD card" and find the file. Select "Yes" to flash. I suggest you also wipe Dalvik Cache by going into the Advanced menu.
After everything is done, reboot, and if you want , you can flash a kernel like KBG.
Enjoy!

Thanks!
Although, What benefits are there to flashing the kernel?
Also, and sorry if I'm being a bother, but I "thought" I did a backup this morning and I'm looking at my SD card in the cwm->backup folder and I don't see the timestamp I thought I'd see from today - there's one there but from 2000-01-01 - is that one it?
Thanks so much!

It's just flashed the same way as any .zip file, like the SuperClean.
Benefits of using KGB? Many... like being able to overclock and undervolt, back light notifications, and enabling Voodoo lag fix.
I haven't done that many CWM backups, because.. they are not that useful, IMHO. I don't have anything worth backing up in my phone anyway. (All my contacts are in Exchange) and your SD card contents are untouched. Plus, I can get all my apps back from Android Market in no time. If there are some specific apps (and its data) that you want to backup, I would use Titanium backup.

Perfection! Thanks so much!! now on SC without issue. Was a bit concerned when I didn't know how long it would take to wipe the data (seemed forever but in reality only a few mins), but flashed it, then the gapps and have restored the apps I wanted using Titanium. CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again very much!

Great thread, I am in the same situation: currently on SC3 M1 with KGB kernel and EH03 radio.
I want to flash to SC3 M2, keep the KGB kernel, and possibly try different radio. I just want to make sure I have my steps in the correct order:
1. Download SC3 M2 .zip to SD card
2. Download KGB .zip to SD card
2. Backup apps to SD card (with Ti or Astro)
4. Reboot into CWM recovery (red)
5. Wipe data, cache partition, dalvik cache
6. Disable Voodoo Lagfix and /System lagfix???
7. Install SC3 M2 from ZIP
8. Boot up into SC3 M2
9. Reboot into CWM recovery
10. Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
11. Install KGB from ZIP
12. Boot into SC3 M2, then reboot back into CWM recovery
13. Enable voodoo lagfix and /system lagfix
14. Reboot
Am I correct about the points where I would disable lagfix?
At what point would I flash a different radio?
Thanks!

So EC09 radio will work with KGB_EH03_FA16 and SuperClean3 Milestone 2?
I am looking at droidstyle's guide now and it says the EC09 radio is compatible with any Fascinate ROM.
Will I need to re-flash my kernel or ROM after Odining the EC09 radio? I am planning to just follow the directions in section 7 here, so please stop me if there is anything different/additional I need to do!
