Alright guys. Here ya have it.
This kernel will boot on both RFS and EXT4, and will bridge the gap for migrating between EXT4 and RFS.
All ROM developers should use this kernel until we have an official OTA.
It contains the ability to boot via RFS OR EXT4, boot animation support, AND init.d support.
Have fun guys. I'm really tired, and this is my last update for the night.

Do we apply this via clockwork, then a ROM ?
If you are just doing the ext4 mod, then flash rom, then kernel.
It will be up to ROM developers to add this to their rom, so things will be smoother for everyone.
battery life good ?

Thanks for the quick reply man
I'm working on the EXT4 mod rt now.. I should be sleeping but the baby got me up and i've been itching to do the mod.
Thanks again
To run this do I still have to do the ext4 mod and format my sd card and all that?

Well first, you shouldn't be fornatting your sd card...I've been read the other thread since the beginning and unless he changed it while I was sleeping no one ever mentioned that...
But...I'm guessing you follow the same exact steps as in the other thread, except you use thise kernel at the end.
My question is I'm surprised its just a kernel change to give us dual boot...and not a modified prepare.zip? I thought that mod would get rid of all rfs...or maybe the kernel just "reads" rfs but still performs everything in ext4

So I'm on Quantum 2.5 w/ext4. Got there via stock DK28 odin, root, then ext4, then ROM flash.
Everything went well, but I can't access the newer .2 recovery any way except via adb. Is there any kind of fix for this, or workaround so that I can access that recovery without being near a computer? TIA.
Going to the .0 recovery, advanced, Reboot Recovery hangs on the Samsung screen.

You can access it without a computer..shutdown your phone, then boot into recovery, then go down to advance and click on the option, then click on reboot recovery and it will bring you into the .2
You can also download QuickBoot from the mart, which is awesome.

No you do not! He made this so you can run his rom on any of the two file systems. Without this you would have had to do the ext4 mod. Know you can flash his new rom without formatting to ext4. By the way if you can do the mod then do it. My phone is just purring with the new file system. I won't say its a night and day difference since my phone always ran well but it is definitely noticable! The phone feels snappier, more responsive in every way. Thanks for this Dameon, truly Epic!

I am also on Quantum 2.5 with ext4. When I use quick boot to reboot into recovery, it goes to 2.5.1.2 with no problem. Have you tried getting quick boot from the market?
Hmm, nope, still hung at Samsung. After using either Quick Boot or ROM Manager to attempt to boot recovery and getting stuck, I have to enter CWM (.0) and select "Reboot" to get it back up properly.
I must have missed something along the way, I guess I'll try this whole deal again. Thanks for the help though guys.
One more quick general question, since I have everything set up in Quantum 2.5 the way I like, if I start over, can I "Restore Data" and it will be right back where it was when I started, once I get this right?
Is it possible for you to make RaiserFs kernel?
I read on Evo xda forums that this guy made Raiserfs rom and people are saying that they got huge speed boost from Ext4.

Your nose deceives you. The score is based purely on the filesystem io. This does not use a tmpfs hack. The ext4 is a full filesystem replacement for rfs. Do your homework.

This thread is based on Firerat's work, just modded a little to be more specific for the EVO, so be sure to thank him for his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874
I modded the script so a default of 250MB for system & 125MB for cache(leaves ~570MB for data) is included, so the mtdpartmap.txt in the SD card is not required unless you want to change those. If a mtdpartmap.txt is detected in the SD card during flash, it will overwrite those defaults values with whatever is in the mtdpartmap.txt.
For those that want to change the default values, just mod the attached mtdpartmap.txt
S-OFF is required
This is not for the faint of heart and requires how to flash using fastboot if you want to revert back to stock partition sizes, so if your not comfortable with ANY of the install & uninstall steps below, DO NOT FLASH THIS!!!
Be sure to check how much space your current ROM uses in the system & cache partitions before flashing this, so that way you don't cause problems with this MOD
Most de-odex'd ROMs should be fine with a 250MB system partition but those that are using a Desire HD/Z based ROM might need 300MB or slightly more, so be sure to double check your current system/cache usage before flashing
Also, too small of a cache partition will cause errors with some games & downloading of OTA updates as it uses the cache partition as the download folder
Install
1. Copy FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FORMAT_ALL zips(& custom mtdpartmap.txt if you want to change the default sizes) to your SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
4. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Flash FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the recovery to use the custom partition sizes)
7. Reboot into recovery again
8. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM but don't reboot
9. Flash FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the kernel to load the custom partition sizes)
10. Reboot
NOTE
Everytime you flash a new ROM or kernel, you must flash the FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip afterwards, so the kernel gets modded to load the custom partition sizes
Uninstall
1. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
2. Boot into Bootloader and select Fastboot USB
3. Reflash custom recovery console using Fastboot
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM, if the restore contains a kernel that has modded partition sizes, then reflash the kernel
7. Reboot

Amazing work Calkulin! I am going to test this on mIuI.
Thank you Calk. I was just looking into this thread over on the G1 forums. This is going to come in very handy.
What recovery is the custom recovery based on?
EDIT
NM: Reading comprehension problems. Now I see that it patches the recovery. My other question is do you guys think resizing and creating a swap partition would be beneficial? I already have a lot of free space on /data after moving dalvik-cache to /cache.
Thanks Calk.
Just flashed this, nand restored, and I have 100+ mb available.
Edit: I have about 100mb MORE available than before making this mod on the same ROM/kernel combination.
seems very ricky lol sorry but i have bricked 2 evos lol from not listening to what a guide says and trying my way lol

Hi all
Whipped this up for a friend. Thought we'd be nice and share
These packages will work on any current sw version for the Charge.
Please find below kernel and recovery packages hacked for the following:
permanent adb root
installs Superuser and su binary automatically on boot
includes Voodoo ext4 lagfix - CREDIT TO SUPERCURIO! http://project-voodoo.org/lagfix
lowmemorykiller tweaks
sdcard readahead cache speed tweak
If you are using Odin to flash, simply flash the below package. If you are using Heimdall, remove the zImage file from the below package and flash it.
After flashing the first time, you will hear a voice from the phone telling you what is occurring. The conversion to ext4 will take a few minutes. BE PATIENT. Once it boots, Superuser should be installed, and your phone's filesystem will be converted from rfs to ext4. To disable Voodoo lagfix and convert back to rfs, simply create a file on your sdcard inside the Voodoo folder, named "disable-lagfix". Then reboot your phone and listen for the voices again. This will also take a few minutes.
Please familiarize yourself with using Odin or Heimdall and have backup images on-hand if you are going to use this kernel. If you screw up, you will need them
I DO NOT have a Charge, these files have been tested by other users. As always I assume absolutely NO liability for anything that happens if you use this kernel. Phone blows up? It's on you to fix it
If you find this software helpful please click the "Thanks" or the "Donate" button. Either is fine by me. If you would like to investigate the changes that were made, please feel free to find them here, and here.
Enjoy.
EDIT
Uploaded 2nd version
EDIT
Uploaded 3rd version
changed the install scripts around
should copy files more efficiently
fix file ownership and permissions
UNTESTED!
EDIT
Uploaded 4th version
Confirmed root from independent user!
rewrote install process to preserve file path and permissions
will look into the bootanimation graphics issue
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14764513/VoodooChargeKernel4.tar.md5
EDIT
Uploaded additional recovery file
Flashes custom version of ClockworkMod recovery 3.x
Recovery includes Voodoo specific options for enabling/disabling Voodoo lagfix
Flash with Odin or Heimdall just like the kernel files
HAS BEEN LIGHTLY TESTED! USE CAUTION AND HAVE A BACKUP!
if you do not have root:
* check adb shell and see if you get a '#' prompt. If so, you *have* root on adb, and you may install whatever you want in /system
* check to see if Superuser app is installed
* check to see if /system/xbin/su exists on your phone.
If you have problems, please post the results of those checks. Thanks.
LLGW. Headed to bed now but first thing in the morning, I wondering what I'm doing
Thanks jt!!!! Can't wait to flash this once my charge comes in the mail.

What verison of odin should I use? I just flashed this and it failed.
using odin3 v1.3 and failed too..
phone wont boot, had to reflash ed1
The kernel flash was successful, and the filesystem conversion took about 8 minutes to run. However, I was not rooted when the phone booted back up. Here is what I did, let me know if I missed a step:
Start on rooted ED1
Accept ED2 OTA
Lose Root
Flash new kernel using ODIN
After ~10 minutes, phone boots successfully, but I do not have root.

Keep trying. I finally got it to flash with 1.30. Seems to be booting. On boot it did not change the file system, it just booted normally.
Edit:I just put in my spare battery and it is now converting the file system. The other battery was probably too low.
Where's my wifi? Anyone else facing an error when attempting to start wifi?
Yeah it looks like it killed wifi. I also am not rooted.
So if I flash back to rooted ED1 will it wipe my data?

#2: Download "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1E3AWIQYAA
#3: Copy "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" into /mnt/sdcard
/sgs-kernel-flasher folder
#4: Open sgs kernel flasher and select "backup kernel" you will
see the dated filename of the saved file on bottom of screen
Now you have 2 kernels to choose from, the "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" and the kernel you backed up using sgs kernel flasher.
For normal operation of Infuse v2 beta 2 or beta 3 your sgs backed up kernel is what you want to select and use.
If you want to do anything like backup or restore in clockworkmod recovery simply open sgs kernel flasher and click "choose kernel".
Then click "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" after this step, press the power button and select "recovery".
The phone will reboot into red clockworkmod recovery menu without any rainbows so you can use all functions and features of clockworkmod recovery.
When you are done using clockworkmod recovery restart phone, open sgs kernel flasher and click "choose kernel" now click the kernel you have backed up.
Reboot the phone again and you will be in normal Infuse v2 beta 2 or beta 3 "rainbow mode" and you are back where you started from.
NOTICE: If you are stuck on a rainbow screen after trying to go into clockworkmod recovery you will need to download the "odin no rainbow" kernel and put the phone in download mode and flash the odin kernel.
Here is the link for the Odin flash no rainbow kernel you need.

After flashing with Odin restart the phone then follow all the instructions above starting at #1
Have a great day,
Enjoy!

yes I know we can use odin but odin requires a computer with windows and samsung usb drivers..
A lot of people do some of these things when they do not have a computer handy, or they are not home and do not want to install usb drivers in other peoples computers or some people simply don't want to mess with the computer if they can do some of these things without one.
There has been much talk about this ever since Infuse v2 beta 1 and 2 came out and there were a lot of misunderstandings about the process.
Anyway, have a great day, Enjoy!
I find that the CWM kernel has less rainbows with daily use anyway. And video playback is borked with both anyway, so I just stick with the CWM kernel.
Will this work with the kernel being packaged with odin like it is???
kernels and rainbows

if your video playback is broke with both kernels then you have done something wrong for sure during flashing of Infuse v2 beta 1 or 2.
The only way to fix it is to go back to froyo rom be sure its rooted and has 3e recovery then go into recovery mode using power button selecting recovery then flash the infuse v2 beta 2 rom with the RED cwm recovery menu.
After its done flashing select "advanced" in cwm recovery menu and select "wipe-factory reset" when thats done simply click on "reboot" and you will see rainbows, wait until the phone completely boots and ready to use.
Then reboot the phone again and leave it alone for 15 minutes more or less and after that it will only have rainbows during boot/reboot and the video playback/preview screen/gallery and everything else in the phone will NOT have rainbows at all.
Hope this helps! if so give me a BIG THANKS!

Nope, this method will not work with the odin kernels cause odin kernels are TAR files and cwm kernels are ZIP files............
Good luck!

What i mean to say is that the OP gives a kernel link witch is 15 mb and has odin in the archive i dont think that will flash.
Will it??
I thought kernels were about 7 mb
Excellent sleuthing, Watson! This method worked for me as well!

I don't think this will work either. It is just the file that was posted earlier. tihe the following listed inside zip:

"Odin3_v1.81.exe"
"PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1_CWM.tar.md5"

Yeah if you flash the CWM kernel it fixes rainbows but breaks video and cam viewfinder. Flash other kernel and rainbows, but working video and cam viewfinder.
but netflix streams fine.what if reinstall camera apk and youtube apk. will that fix it
Question. I do not see the sgs folder anywhere. Am I supposed to create it? I downloaded the app from the market. But I do not see the folder you mention.

They usually are about 7mb but this must have something special in it to make it that large.
You may want to ask GTG why its as large as it is........
I do know it works 100% though
Have a great day.
*please hold off use of safe strap until further notice. I promise you we are hard at work on it************************************************************There is a new version at the bottom of the post. Please uninstall recovery from with in your currently installed v.1 then uninstall safestrap app. Download and install v.2 and install recovery. If you already have a safe system installed you will need to reflash the zip and wipe data/factory reset. Thanks Jim for the fix! There are now 2 different versions 1 for those not running jims webtop hack and one for those of you that are. Please download the safestrap appropriate for your setup at the bottom of the page. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
What works?
-Everything except mounting usb in recovery.
-Cant seem to format safe system /data
Here it is!!! Our very own Unofficial safestrap recovery!
Whats this mean? Custom rom's!!! CM7 CM9 etc! And no more fxz or cwm on every boot just to save from a softbrick.
How'd we do it?
This was a pain in the A**, Jimbridgeman and myself have worked our butts off on this. We changed the recovery.fstab around so that we are able to use the sd card as a mount point to install the /system partition as well as a separate partition for /data. So in laymen's terms, were booting from the sd.
How to Install -(From Windows)
(Partition sizes are up to you but ext3 partition should be no less then 350mb and the second fat partition should be not less then 500mb)
1.Backup your sdcard
2.Format your sdcard from your phone under settings-storage
3.Put your sdcard into some kind of card reader and place into computer
4.Download, install, and open Mini Tool http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
5. Right click on your sd card, click resize

}
6. Re size so that you have at least 850mb left "Unallocated"
7.Click OK
8.Click apply changes
9.Right click on unallocated partition and select create
10. Click Yes
11.I went with 1gb, this is the data partition, It needs to be at least 500mb and your settings must match mine. Primary,Fat32
12.Click apply changes
13.Right click on unallocated space, select create
14.Click Yes
15. This is the System partition and needs to be at least 350mb, Your settings must match mine. Ext3,Primay
16.Click on apply changes.
17.Click Yes.
18.You are all done! Should look something like this.
Now to install the safestrap

One noob question so the safe system is on the mobile internal memory or on the SD card? If on SD card is it fast enough not to cause performance issues?

The safe system is stored to the sd card, no real performance issues.. 5500ish in antutu running cm7 for the droid 3!
And with that strap i can remove my main stock rom not just install a 2nd rom on sd card ?
Thanks alot to you and jim and hashcode for your grest work i will make sure to press the thanks button alot when i get on my pc
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
I'm assuming that like with the razr if you are using the bootstrap with on boot you have to remove it before installing the safe strap version?
Thank you
I knew it was only a matter of time!!!!!!
Thank you guys
A link worth sharing http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap.html , this is the original safestrap for D3 and RAZR done by hashcode , take a look at his blog to understand more about safestrap if you are a noob like me.
but there is only one question i need to understand using this hack can we install roms on the 1st system ( device memory ) or just on the 2nd system ( SD Card ) ?
This is what I have been using instead of the bootstrap, to use my custom ROMS... it will allow you to use your paid version of CWM the way it should be used. You can now go into CWM and select boot to CWM or flash from sdcard while still in android, and it will boot you into CWM and start flashing....
Thanks for all your hard work!

So essentially, this is a dual boot system of sorts? This allows me to install a custom ROM and run it in Safe mode then go back to my factory ROM by turning off Safe mode?

This will not work to flash ANYTHING to your internal system. It will only flash to the safe system.

great work man
but is it ... 2012 ?
Should I wait to setup safestrap until you get this fixed, or can I go ahead with it and just replace the .apk later?
