Read the whole post (except the changelog) before attempting to install
THERE IS NO MORE AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.
Conversion will occurs only if a fs.convert file is present in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod.
I suggest that you start convert /cache and see that is working and then, if OK, convert /data and /system.
Custom rom makers could use this kernel to convert the filesystem.
Requirements
You must have at least 400Mb free on your SD card storage for initial conversion if you don't have any apps installed. If you have apps already installed, you must ensure that you have at least the same size as you data storage free on the sdcard.
What does Fugumod do ?
Fugumod convert to any filesystem supported by creating a fs.convert file in the directory /Android/data/fugumod/ on the sdcard. In exemple, you want to convert /data partition (/dev/block/stl7) to ext4, just make a fs.convert file containing :
Code:
stl7 ext4
or two partitions in a row :
Code:
stl7 jfs
stl8 ext2
How to use it ?
Flash with Odin as "One package" option.
How does it work ?
Once you create your fs.convert file in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod/fs.convert, the conversion will start on the next reboot.
Depending how many partition you want to convert and the speed of your sdcard, the process could take some times ... 5, 10, 15 minutes .. do NOT interrupt the process or you will have to reflash a whole ROM.
When the conversion process is finished, the phone start.
How to check if it worked ?
Type : adb shell mount
and look for the partition you converted : you should see your new filesystem.
Below, I converted /data (stl7) and /cache (stl8) from rfs to ext4 :
Code:
D:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell mount
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sys /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0
none /acct cgroup rw,relatime,cpuacct 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/asec tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0
none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,relatime,cpu 0 0
/dev/block/stl6 /system rfs ro,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,vfat,log_off,check=no,gi
d/uid/rwx,iocharset=cp437 0 0
/dev/block/stl7 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,commit=20,barrier=
1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/stl8 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,commit=20,barrier
=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/stl4 /efs rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,
iocharset=cp437 0 0
How to desinstall Fugumod ?
2 solutions :
- Flash a complete ROM
or
- Take a custom kernel or a standard kernel and convert all the partitions to a filesystem supported by the new kernel and then flash it.
How to change a frequency ?
You can change by yourself the frequencies in all overclocked versions of fugumod (v2.4+ only). It's possible also in the 800 Mhz edition.
There is an entry in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table where you can put your own value for APLL.
Before doing this, set "PERFORMANCE" governor on and min and max frequencies to the maximum
Example : in the 800Mhz edition :
Code:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table
index - apll
0 81900301
#
now, you can change this value and put 834Mhz (0x81a10301) on the index 0 (the highest freq):
Code:
# echo "0 0x81a10301" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table
As usual, use it at your OWN risk.
This should work also with Loop based lagfix. This need to be tested more... Backup applications have not been tested already. Please give feedback.
You can find all the scripts and source code on github : https://github.com/sdadier
------ Note for startups scripts
- Put your script in /system/etc/init.d
- Scripts with Filename starting with E* (earlystartup scripts) are executed before script with filename starting with S* (users scripts)
- Scripts are executed before playlogo and after init.rc
- Log is available in /res/user.log
Thanks to nikademus the original author of fugumod and sztupy for universal lagfix initramfs.
Thanks to Supercurio for voodoo additions.
Thnaks to Cpasjuste for pimpmycpu and help.
Thanks to s3th.g3ck9, FadeFx and others I forgot for bugfixes and ideas, The Dark Lestat for cooking us the best ROM here

Read the whole post (except the changelog) before attempting to install
This kernel converts all rfs based /data,/cache and /system to jfs automatically. It also makes /efs on jfs or ext4, but for safety purposes /dev/block/stl4 is still rfs formatted, but not mounted anymore.
Odin flashable kernel (select one package when flashing with odin.)
Custom rom makers could use this kernel to convert the filesystem.
You can convert to any filesystem supported by creating a fs.convert file in the directory /fugumod/ on the sdcard. In exemple, you want to convert /data partition (/dev/block/stl7) to ext4, just make a fs.convert file containing :
Code:
stl7 ext4
The filesystems conversion will occurs at reboot : dont touch your phone for about 5 min (depending how many partition should be converted).
- You don't need to do anything, just flash the kernel without repartition and wait some minutes for the first boot.
- You must have at least 400Mb free on your SD card storage for initial conversion if you don't have any apps installed. If you have apps already installed, you must ensure that you have at least the same size as you data storage free on the sdcard.
- The cleanest way to revert the mod is to reflash a complete ROM. But it also works by converting filesystems to ext4 and flash one of the numerous kernel which support full ext4
- Do NOT interrupt your first boot or you will have to reflash a full system.
As usual, use it at your OWN risk.
Tested on XXJPM, Lestatious ROM, Kyrillos V3 and InDroid 3.0 with success. This should work also with Loop based lagfix. This need to be tested more... Backup applications have not been tested already. Please give feedback.
Thank to nikademus the original author of fugumod.

To bad i don't have the g3 at my hand ATM to test this...
Looks Nice! But tell haree to move the thread in the development section!
Installed without problems. This phone is better and better thaks to you guys.
what is the improvment to Kyrillo's Rom (Ver.3.0 final) ???
Gives it a better performance, or is it something, what not everybody need?

default.prop is :

ro.secure=1
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
You must SU to get root.
Note that Im not a kernel guru and the kernel could be optimised more.
The best thing in Fugumod is the initramfs and the pre-init.sh script that convert all the filesystems without any data loss.
Notes:
- the app Fugumodapp work with the kernel but I didnt try to use it to make a fs.convert file.
- I successfully added compcache. /dev/ramzswap0 was created and initialised but I dont know yet if it brings improvements to the phone or not.

Please use Cyanogen's recovery image it is awesome!
First step for 2.63 is to setup our SDcard...back your stuff up and lets go!
Formatting you SDcard
You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2
You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!
To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!
You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 32MB SWAP!!!
Example for 8GB card (this example plays it safe and will leave a small amount leftover regardless of the 8GB card)
Reboot and enter recovery
Enter console
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200
mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732
#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)
Example for my 4GB card
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420
mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964
Example for a 2GB card playing it safe
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1200
mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700-1732
"End?" you need to place the last value for the linux swap eg.3964 for my 4GB card
#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)
Next we need to "quit" parted and upgrade our ext2 partition to ext3
#upgrade_fs
Swap value is set to 30 currently, you can change this by modifying the "echo" value for swappiness in the a2sd.sh script
For a longer more detailed parted turorial read this
Flashing the ROM
The second part is getting the ROM on our phone
Copy the ROM to you sdcard as update.zip, enter the recovery console via home+power and lets flash, Check ext filesystems first, if it tells you to go to console to manually check do it! After I've repaired the EXT partition or if it didn't need repair I will now wipe and then apply the update and reboot...Done!

JacHEROSki-v2.2 - Experimental A & B has been performance benchmarked extensively by MikeTaylor00. The recommended settings for optimal performance are included in the build. You do NOT need to modify the user.conf file. Make sure that you have a 64MB linux-swap partition before flashing this build. To see some of the benchmark results used to determine the optimal settings for this build click here.
http://slackdev.com/justanotherdev/JACHEROSKI_Benchmark.xls
Compcache is enabled on both of these builds and will perform better than it has in the past. The memlimit was being set much too low, on all ROMs, because of a misconception of how Compcache works. The memlimit is the limit of the size of the data before it has been compressed. It is not the total amount of memory that Compcache can use for compressing data. These settings will not use a significant amount of RAM. With the default setting of 48MB it will only use about 6MB-12MB of RAM based on benchmark test results.
Experimental B includes a hack that increases the amount of RAM by 10MB. It has not been tested thoroughly and may not be stable. It may cause problems with 3D applications as well as Street View. Flash this build at your own risk.

JAC, two quick things:
1) The title is listing on the page as JACHero 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6. People aren't flocking because there are two threads, both with the title of "JACHero 2.3.5"
2) Any idea on when you'll be getting a chance to upload? I'll be around.
EDIT: 2) Uploading now. Very excited.
Sorry, double post.
can't wait to flash this 2.3.6 =D great job JAC.
mani am excited for thiss!!
I haven't been on Hero for a while, I am going to be checking out this 2.3.6 build to see the performance difference. It sounds like SuperHero v3 is coming out soon too so I might check that out.
It is nice to see a new thread, the previous was getting a bit ridiculous at over 850 pages.
SWEET! the thread has been cleared, no more junk questions!
lets keep this one clean guys. seriously
btw, flashing 2.3.6 now

Do you think it would be possible to rename this the Dev thread and the other the Newbie thread or something? Or would something like that get locked by the mods?
*snag* one link is up guys

i dunno im not a mod lol but a new thread on just helping people trying to flash this rom and need help might be useful but there are a ton of those already in Q&As people just dont read them...
Nice...going to flash this when i get home.
Hey JAC, if i have a 1 gig sdcard partitioned, will this still be slow like 2.3.5??

mostlikely not because the framework apk (all the phones images) are optimized (theyr smaller, smaller= faster), and not to mention the phones media (ringtones ect) are now moved to sd.
Flashing the rom now, will post updates in a few...
ehh the battery didnt change,
its the ophone one :/
Anyone care to confirm the SMS issue has been fixed definitely. Receiving 100% of all SMSes? Can't afford to even miss one.

hows the overall performance? im not allowed to download anything on my cousins laptop so im using my phone to download the file so its a bit slow. so i havent flashed it yet.
double post. my bad
phone rebooted after it hit the activation screen pretty wierd.
rebooting now. lets hope this time it works
data2whatever v0.2
UPDATE: For the new test version of v0.3 and v0.4 look at the end of the post.
Features:
- Supports: Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 (and if kernel supports it: ) btrfs, ReiserFS
- Supports loop device as optional addon (as siberes data2sd)
- Flashable zip for many app2sd ROMs (no long setup required)
- It does a e2fsck (disk check) on every boot and creates a logfile on the sdcard (/sdcard/e2fscklog.txt)
- looks nice if you do a logcat on boot
- no "settings lost on reboot" bug like in my old or siberes script
- changes the scheduler for the sd-card and internal to noop for better performance on sd.
- Nandroid Backup of EXT2/3/4 external with AmonRa 2.0.0.1 or any clockwork recovery.
- Removes the common app2sd scripts on its own
Requirements
- A second partition (same as app2sd - Min 512 mb - 1024mb is highly recommended - max 2048 MB or there will be issues with market) in any format (as long as the kernel supports - ext2/3/4 support is default in most kernels - Ext4 or ReiserFS is recommended).
- An app2sd or non app2sd ROM (data2sd versions wont work) (this SHOULD work with most or at least many ROMs . Roms that are confirmed to work can be found in the post below. Please report to me it it works or not so i can update this thread. If it doesn't work i try to make it compatible asap. )
Installation
1.) Full wipe (at least needed on first installation)
2.) Flash the app2sd Version of the ROM of your choice
3.) DONT REBOOT
4.) If you rebooted then start over at 1.)
5.) flash the attached "data2whatever.zip"
6.) now reboot
ADDITIONAL INFO: Even without "life on the edge" you should watch the first 4 "don't"s of "life on the edge". The normal script use the same disk safety methods as NTFS on Windows or EXT4 on linux. But as you know you shouldnt just switch off the computer because there can still be issues in very rare cases. Reboots with tools like "snqs power menu" is the same as a batterypull (or pulling the ac plug on PC) and this isn't good in general (and this also applies for using it with app2sd). If you want to go to recovery just make a normal shutdown and switch the phone on with "volume down" button pressed.
Optional life-on-the-edge add on
EDIT: Life on the edge causes reboots. Don't use it for now.
This patch has the same effect as sibere's and ownhere's script (loop device - the way ownhere does in v4 doesnt work though). Other than those scripts it this addon doesnt need any repartitioning or other setup (like FAT or a third partition) and can simply be installed or removed with a flashable zip. All you need for this is a normal ext 2/3/4 partition (as above ^^). Ext4 is recommended for this (as above) since it is the fastest of those 3. This patch is more risky than normal ext3/4 considering the possibility of data loss. If you want to use this add-on you should watch the following (this also applys to ownheres and sibere script and is NOT more risky than their scripts):
- DON'T use the reboot of snq's powermenu (or any other reboot app)
- DON'T use anything in the "ROM Manager" that makes it reboot.
- DON'T do adb reboot / abd reboot recovery / adb reboot bootloader
- DON'T pull the battery while the phone is on (this should be obvious)
- DON'T remove the "sync" mount options for the Quadrant "boost" (this is a fake boost anyway)
All of this is like a powerloss for the sd-card and has a high change of data corruption.
From my test with this i give you an estimate what can happen if a powerloss occurs or any of the 5 points above happen:
- 50% general chance of corruption that will be autofixed on boot (not a problem)
- 10% chance of forcecloses after reboot of some apps (this can be fixed by deleting the app data or restoring it with titanium (or other) backup)
- REALLY tiny chance (didnt happen for me in over 40 "simulated" powerlosses) that partition gets corrupted (needs complete repartitioning of the microSD so all data on it will be gone then)
As long as you watch the 5 points above and as long as you don't drop the phone and the battery jumps out this will be safe.
Installation of the addon:
- Flash the "life-on-the-edge.zip" any time after you installed "data2whatever".
Installation of the addon:
- Flash the "life-on-the-edge-UNPATCH.zip" any time after you installed "data2whatever" and the addon. (this will revert back to the normal script)
Personal remark: While this is a improvement over normal ext4 it is not the "holy-grale" of a data2sd lag fix. I'm not using this myself and use a ReiserFS as second partition instead which is more safe and completly feels the same as a "loop" device considering performance.
Further Plans
- Changes for the mount options of the internal YAFFS2 Partition to optimize the speed of the "dalvik-cache" (have to look into YAFFS2 what can be done)
- Make Roms that doesn't work yet compatible to this
Thanks:
- cyanogen who made app2sd+ in the first place.
- sibere and ownhere who started all the data2sd.
- supercurio and Unhelpful of SGS' Voodoolagfix (#Project-Voodoo on freenode) for their helpfull script tipps.
- Coutts99 and Neophyte for their Kernels.
- woti23 for all those test's in this thread.
- All devs of XDA in generall for all this nice stuff that is done here
UPDATE: Test version of v0.3 and v0.4:
BOTH NEED A FULL WIPE BEFORE INSTALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Please make a logcat of the first boot. This can help me to find possible issues.
This version now checks if your second partition is aligned and if not it will ERASE it and recreate it aligned. You will find more info about alignment later here (in the meantime you can google "ssd alignment" to get some info).
WARNING: THIS WILL ERASE THE SD-EXT PARTITION IF IT IS NOT ALIGNED. On top of that there is a little risk that it messes up the partition table. Although i made a lot of test with this and added busybox to assure compatibility there could still issues with it. If something should go wrong in recreating the partition you may have to REPARTITION the COMPLETE Sd-card. So make a BACKUP OF ALL YOUR DATA ON THE SD before you test this .
Additional info: Don't let yourself get confused by the many deleting messages on install. The update script tries to erase:
- busybox (newest version gets installed afterwards)
- 4 different versions of app2sd scripts
- dalvikcache2cache script
- the 3 binaries included (e2fsck, tune2fs, mkfs.ext4)
- 3 possible symlinks for the binaries
- mtab file
Everything that is erased gets either installed afterwards (busybox, etc ...) or isn't needed (app2sd scripts).
Please post the alignment log if you testet this. This log can be found on the sdcard ( /sdcard/sd-ext-alignment-log.txt).
==================================================================================
changelog
0.4d test release
- If the partitions gets aligned it will be formated with ext3 now instead of ext4 so it works with ROMs without ext4 kernel support.
0.4c test release
-fixed a rare issue that could happen on alignment if a partition has set the bootflag.
v0.4b test release
- fixed and Oxygen 2.0 RC4 related issue:
- renamed the "99complete" to "991complete" to prevent similiar issues on other AOSP ROMs that use individual properties.
v0.4 test release
- dalvik cache is now left internal. This should spread i/o and thus speed things up a bit.
- change scheduler to "deadline" if the kernel supports it
- changed logging: One file (data2whateverlog.txt on sdcard) for alignement and fsck with more info (thx moebius83)
- In case there is a swap partition (mmcblck0p3) this will also get aligned.
v0.3 test release
- this version will now recreate your sd-ext partition if it is not aligned (format: ext4)
- fixed the mtab error that could cause issues in some cases
- added busybox v1.17.2 to assure compatibility.
- added support for swap partition (if kernel supports it and partition 3 exists)
- removing more stuff on install (to make sure there are no old symlinks)
0.2e
-fixed an issue caused by the s-off fix.
0.2d
-fixed the cm6 fix
v0.2c
-fixed a bug that made this only work with S-OFF. (i totally forgot that system can't be mounted rw as default )
v0.2b
- fixed a typo of the last fix . This could have caused issues on leedroid. (thanks woti)
- added the patch for CM6 (thanks iinga)
v0.2
- fixed a syntax error making the script not working at all
- fixed a bug that would have occured on leedroid if it would have worked ^^
------------------------------------------
data2whatever v0.1 (dec 23.)
-completly rewrote of the data2ext script
Confirmed to work with:
- LeeDroid 2.3b A2SD (life-on-the-edge may not work)
- MIUI 0.12.18 R3
- Gingerbread Oxygen RC2
- Ginger Villain ROM
- CM6
- MidianUI r2e
- Desire stock (with init.d support enabled through ramdisk - more info)
Don't work yet:
(about HD roms in general. They will be the ones with most issues because they use external space for system stuff because of the size of the HD Rom - ill still try to make my script work with them)
- robocik's Z v06
- ReflexTSenseHD 1.5
nice work man
im using miui currently and it hass 04apps2sd instead
is this the same thing?
Very nice work.... and it kinda confirmed what i've been thinking all the time about it. Ppl thinks it speeds up your phone! Still this is of very good use if u want alot of space for apps

This one also works. All 3 Roms i posted use the same script
So generally, it should work on any rom with CM6/AOSP based A2SD script? Mkay...

@melethron great work man, but I will remain to my opinion that data2sd(ext) is bad for so many reasons. But it is good to have choices.
But nevertheless your work is apreciated
Hi, having small issue here, trying to install this on the baadnwz rc2 hd rom, following all the steps, when i finally restart and everything boots up as it should, it freezes on the white htc screen before it asks you to select your network provider and force closes.
Anyone have a solution?
If you want a lean mean Gingerbread rom for your new radio sapphire here it is!
Mixed results on 6.35.10.18 radio, radio 6.35.16.19 recomended. Upgrade your radio here
The source was originally from aosp and ezterry, it's quite deverged from that now.
The kernel is my 2.6.34 kernel from my other thread with all new updated usb for Gingerbread use. (turns out my kernel was fine,it was the roms that needed modifying)
As battery life goes it's ok as far as I can tell, unplugged last night at 12 am, used phone till 3 am, sat on table till 7 am, used it at work all day, when I got home at 6 it was at 58% still.

If coming from any other rom I would suggest booting to the bootloader(hold back while pressing power on) and using fastboot to 'fastboot erase system -w'
Install instructions
Flash from recovery.
flash the gapps if you want them
I hope this works as good for you as it does for me!
I'm looking into a few things mentioned in this thread and adding new functionality, what would you guys like to see?
Older roms at end of post in Archive.
I'm not making a separate rom for mtd anymore, I made both DietGB and CM7 compatable with Firerats mtd boot flash and market works.
You must use fastboot and erase system "fastboot erase system -w" if you are new to DietGB or have any install or rebooting problems before posting here If you use the new recovery I compiled from cm7 clockworkmod you can just format in recovery.
I have been using this release for many weeks now, testing and modifing code, recompiling, and I think I finally have the most stable 6355 kernel and rom available, I also along the way added a few things.
New Sept 21
No wipe update to fix video recording force close

I wiped this time, you should be able to just upgrade though, reinstall gapps
Google apps
Google apps( minimal package, get the rest from the market)
Full google apps (go to market and see if there are updates)
New kernel
I see some of you want a 710 kernel, well I did it for you, I added min and max at boot so it boots at 528/245 default, use setcpu to set to whatever you like, you can also select several different governors.
Flash over any of the roms here. Remember it's 528 default, so if you set to high and you reboot or lockup it will boot at 528 next time, once you find a stable frequency check set at boot in setcpu.
710 Diet Gingerbread kernel
Stand alone kernels (can be flashed back and forth without wipe)
528mhz kernel (if you have force closing try this please) also best battery life!
576mhz kernel (stock in rom)
614mhz kernel
Alternate gps.config files
Euro GPS config (flash this if you are having GPS issues in Europe)
Asia GPS config (flash this if you are having GPS issues in Asia)
Mixed results on 6.35.10.18 radio, radio 6.35.16.19 recomended. Upgrade your radio here
Custom MTD:

Wow, 6.35 radio Gingerbread ROM with working Cam actually happened. I thought that's impossible thing to do. Thanks OP for all hard work you put in this. Will test in next couple of days and report back. HTC Magic is still alive and kicking almost 2 years after being release.
Nice work carz !!!
You need to put a donate link.
I think you're the last dev dedicated to the 32a 6.35.

I just noticed it gets extracted during execution of the any kernel script from ezterry.
I could have got rid of all that but its much easier to repo sync this way
great effort carz! 2 thumbs up for you. hehe...
anyway, does voice search worked with this rom?
one more thing, does button backlight glows in this rom? i mean, when we click/screen on because in Giant's cronos version doesnt worked (correct me if im wrong, sorry Giant im not to blame you, but i love to have it glows, if possible hee....)
anyway great job to both carz and giantrider...
I'm trying to see if I can pull some of your stuff out and flash over GB Cronos latest build.
Not sure why. At this point I should sleep. If it works I will end up with a faster GB Cronos, working USB (thx to you), but Youtube and Gmail will not work.

Sure they do
Just tested voice search. it worked fine.
No offense taken Albert....carz is actually compiling himself....I'm not
But thanks for the comment, I did not even notice the back light issue.
carz....maybe I should pack it in and we focus on one solid 32a 6.35 rom.....yours is currently the least buggy I think....if people confirm that then it only makes sense....

LOL, I meant I should retire my ports and focus on your build not the other way around
I guess we'll see what makes sense....
flashing now
just had to nandroid, change radio and spl, and hey-ho were going for a boot

Frequently Asked Questions
For NOOBS
Q) How to flash the kernel
A) Just apply update.zip from Recovery or flash tar file using ODIN.
Q) Will i lose my data if i flash kernel?
A) No, you wont lose any data nor do you have to wipe data or cache.
Q) Does my battery need to be 100% to flash?
A) Not at all
Q)Flashed CM 6.2 Kernel on Froyo Rom and WIFI doesnt work?
A) There are two versions of Kernel. One is for Froyo Rom and other is for CyanogenMod Rom 6.2 (CM 6.2). if you are on Froyo rom and flash CM 6.2 then your wifi wont work and vice versa.
Q) 1400 Mhz (Extreme version) doesnt work for me
A) Not all Galaxy 3 suppport overclocking as high as 1400 Mhz. If it doesnt work then keep frequency lower or flash Ultimate, Performance or Lite version
Q) What does this data2sd in g3mod do?
A) data2sd is method by which all your /data partition goes to your sdcard thus giving you more space for downloading apps. Its suggested to use data2sd only if your sdcard class is higher than Class 6
Q) Internel Memory shows 0kb
A) Check if you have fs.data2sd at this location /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/ If yes then delete it or else your sd card doesnt have sd-ext partition
Q) How can i go to recovery mode
A) Press MENU+VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER button and bingo!!!
Q) Should i use multi boot even if i am having 2 gb card class 2 ?
A) Sd card with any class can use multiboot
Q) Data Wipe Necessary When Switching Between CM and Froyo ?
A) Yes data wipe is necessary for switching roms between CM and Froyo. But we have given option to Backup data also in recovery.
Q) My APP is not working after Flashing KERNEL
A) Its not a kernel problem
Q) What is tun.ko?
A) It is basically used to setup Open VPN connections
Q) What is jhash3?
A) jhash3 improves the HSDPA/3G/EDGE speed
For Advanced users
Q1) Battery is draining fast?
A) After flashing the kernel please calibrate your battery or else let 3-4 full battery cycles pass.
Q2) Which profiles should i use?
A) Lets take example that you are using Ultimate kernel. Keep the governor ondemand (Like every good boyfriend fulfills all demands of his girlfriend ondemand governor does the same for your CPU ).
Make profiles:-
1) Time Profile - 12 am to 6.00 am Freq 100 Mhz to 400 Mhz Priority 100
2) Screen Off - Freq 100 Mhz to 600 Mhz Priority 95
Q3) What are advanced settings in the SetCPU mean?
A) Sampling rate is rate at which the frequency of your CPU changes. Up Threshold is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Up). Down Threshold (conservative only) is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Down). Powersave bias is used for saving the power of CPU, it will slow down the CPU and affect the performance also 200 in powersave bias mean 20%...250 means 25% and so on.
Q4) I want performance and also good battery what profiles should be i use?
A) Refer to Q2 for Profiles Set up and now go in Advanced tab and Keep Sampling Rate 10000 or 15000. Upper Threshold to 90 and Powersave bias to 200 (20%). Since we are using powersave bias, this will affect the performance as it slows down the CPU so to increase the performance we are lowering the Sampling rate thus we get perfect balance of Performance and good battery backup.
NOTE: ABOVE SETTINGS ARE JUST EXAMPLE..PLEASE PLAY AROUND AND CHOOSE SETTINGS WHICH SUITS YOU THE BEST

Steps for Multi boot:
1) Flash Kernel v1.7+
2) Go to CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Backup ROM.
3) Backup your Current ROM to ROM1 (It will backup the system.img at /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM )
4) Add the system.img of your 2nd ROM to /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM and similarly for different ROM's.
5) Use the CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Switch ROM option to switch between different ROM's.
6) If switching between Froyo ROM and CM6.2 RoM, you will need to wipe data and also change kernel's via update.zip method.
7) Use the data backup and restore option to prevent loss of data when switching between Froyo and CM6.2 ROM's.
Note: Ask the developer of the ROM's to provide you with the system.img for their ROM
How to use Hybrid Data2SD
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo hybrid > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/fs.data2sd'
4) Create a text document in Notepad with a list of all the directories you wish to move. Example:
Code:
app
log
dalvik-cache
---LEAVE A BLANK LINE AT THE END---
5) Save the file and call it 'data2sd.dirs'
6) Do 'adb push data2sd.dirs /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/'
7) Reboot your phone
8) Once your phone has booted, run 'adb shell cat /data2sd.log' to ensure it is running correctly.
How to enable Multi Data
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/multiosdata'
4) Multi Data will automatically backup your data upon booting into a different OS.
Make sure to not wipe your SD-EXT partition. Doing so will erase the backups from other firmware. Only wipe it if you wish to erase data for everything.
You can also use Multi Data to quickly restore data if your phone has become corrupted. It will restore it back to the last multi-boot switching
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdext/lastos'
4) Reboot the phone
Directories for Multi boot:
//ROM Dir
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod6_ROM");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod7_ROM"); //Add CM7 Support
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/G3MOD_ROM");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/Kyrillos_ROM");

__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/kernel/CM7");
How to configure compcache:
If you want to use default configuration (as up to now.. 62 MB aprox.), you don't have to do anything different as what you have been doing. But if you want to use a more/less memory, here are the steps:
Inside that /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/compcache file, write ONLY the number of MegaBytes you want to use for compcache.
Reboot.
If compcache file is empty or contains a "0" inside, it will use default configuration.
How to: BLN
This is only "needed" if you have a i5801 | i5800L or any other Galaxy 3 model with back button lights and want BLN in it.
How to install:
First, download the lights.GT-I5800.so file from google code. Then execute this commands:
adb remount (or if this doesn't work: mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl6 /system)
adb rm /system/lib/hw/lights*
adb push [Location of this file] /system/lib/hw
After that, reboot and now you have BLN working
Steps for Changing the Max Freq(Dynamic OC):
There is an entry in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table where you can put your own value for APLL.
Before doing this, set "PERFORMANCE" governor on and min and max frequencies to the maximum.
Code:
// Do this in adb
echo "0 a[SIZE="5"][B][U]258[/U][/B][/SIZE]0[SIZE="5"][B][U]3[/U][/B][/SIZE]01 a14d0303 c07e13fc cf850240" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table
You need to replace the 258(Hex Value) with your desired value.
Here 258 means
(2*16*16) + (5*16) + 8 = 600
and 3 means it is 600*2 = 1200
Therefore, a2580301 means 1200MHz.
This is a temporary method. For a permanent Method, add this line to a init.d script. Name the script to something like S10_Dyanmic_OC.
Help Others: If you calculate a Hex Value for a particular frequencies add it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5hdnpsWFdTNExiY2t3dy16VzBvaWc6MQ
You can view all the frequency Hex value's calculated by others over here:

Note:
We am learning how to develop kernels.
We willl add different features as and when we can implement them.
The main goal of this kernel will be to keep the phone stable and fast.
There will be nothing as alpha or beta releases.
We will give out the kernels directly, but if anything goes wrong and you have to reflash the ROM or kernel, please dont start shouting.
You may give us different ideas on what features to implement. We will try our best to implement all the features you want
Many of the features implemented in this kernel, are taken from marcellusbe's Fugumod Kernel, and we shall be ever thankful to marcellusbe for the fugumod kernel
Warning:
We are not responsible for any damage caused to your phone (softbrick or hardbrick)
Credits:
marcellusbe for all his help, awesome fugumod kernel
supercurio for voodoo v10
Paolo for BFQ I/O Scheduler
All developers for making this an awesome phone
Everyone who is helping is solving different issues with this kernel
Please let us know if we miss anyone ...oh we did already miss someone..thanks G3MOD TEAM too
What to the old thread?
Nm read that
Btw 6th post got some errors...
@Dharam, i have a question. In your v1.8 Kernel, We can change the partitions to any type we want, can't we? Because in Mumbozver's recovery, we could only use ext2/ext4/ext2.

The kernel itself supports everything, but CWM only supports EXT2. I will look into either porting CWM4 or getting 2.5 to support more systems.

getting 2.5 to support other partitions will be a better idea...coz for CWM 4 you need complete CM7 source, and also most of the update.zip's on the g3 forums use amend...and CWM 4 supports only edify....
All the best to the future process
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Right, I want to work on USB OTG but lack the cable, and the only way I can do it with what I have is if I destroy my only USB cable for my phone. So if someone wants me to do USB OTG, then buy me a cable and I'll do it
All the stuff is there to do it, I just need to get the phone to switch into host mode.
I think v1.9 is going to come sooner than expected...excellent work by the whole team...

But, which root did I get when I installed Kyrillos' ROM?
We dug up the famous CROMi-X by @sbdags, dusted it off, pruned and tweaked it here and there and then slapped some paint on it.
Credits for the original ROM go to @sbdags, @_that, @Hundsbuah, @lj50036, @hardslog and everybody else who contributed and is credited in the original ROM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
@LetMeKnow has been (off and on) tweaking kernel and other settings in CROMi-X for the last 2 years, tirelessly looking for the sweet spot. The result is impressive IMHO
My contributions are mainly: Talking LMK into this project, some technical grunt work and putting this OP together.
This Is For You If:
You actually liked the Asus UI and miss it (nav buttons on the left anyone?)
You're tired of chasing the latest and greatest and want a ROM specifically designed for our hardware. Even it is JB 4.2
You are nostalgic for the "good ol' days"
Pre-Requisites:
The latest 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader. Grab it here if you don't have it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55238386&postcount=3
The latest TWRP 2.8.x - We highly recommend lj50036/area51 Kang TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3049395
A working knowledge of flashing in fastboot or recovery. If you don't have it start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
What's The Difference To The Original CROMi-X?
This rom is only for the TF700. Device specific files for the TF300, TF201 etc have been removed from the rom zip.
LetMeKnow added various kernel and settings tweaks (see post # 2)
fat32 and exFAT on the microSD is supported
No support for data2sd/rom2sd at this time (data2sd may come later, rom2sd.... I doubt it)
A major difference: CROMi-X Resurrected supports the f2fs file system. Here's some background on the benefits of f2fs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS
But trust me on this: It makes a difference in performance.
CROMi-X Resurrected comes with only one kernel (based on Hundsbuah's), but in 3 variations:
Kernel 1 supports ONLY data & cache on ext4
Kernel 2 supports ONLY data f2fs / cache ext4
Kernel 3 supports ONLY data & cache f2fs
On this rom you will have to keep track of which file system you have on which partition and run the corresponding kernel. If you flash it and the rom does not boot, the most likely reason is that you flashed the wrong kernel for the file systems you chose.
How do you check which partition is on what file system? Glad you asked....
In Terminal Emulator or adb shell or the terminal in TWRP run:
Code:
mount
About half-way down in the output you'll find the details on /system, /cache and /data
On this ROM:
/system is always ext4. Since it is read-only in normal operation f2fs makes no sense
/data can be ext4 or f2fs, we highly recommend you run it on f2fs
/cache can be ext4 or f2fs. Your choice - opinions differ on this matter.Some say /cache on f2fs is pointless because the partition hardly (if ever) gets any write operations.
LetMeKnow's opinion: It does improve performance somewhat and if it doesn't - who cares....
It certainly does not hurt to have /cache on f2fs.
Installation Instructions:
For the initial installation a full format of /data in TWRP is highly recommended. If you want to chance it with just a wipe - go ahead, but don't blame us if the resulting ROM lacks the wow-factor or does not boot at all.
Note: Formatting /data in TWRP 2.8.x takes upwards of 60 minutes and formats /data to ext4. Do not interrupt it!
Then:
Load the ROM zip on a microSD, enter TWRP, flash it and follow the prompts in the Aroma installer.
Yeah, it's that complicated :cyclops:
There is no need to change file systems on /data or /cache prior to the ROM flash. We build this into Aroma.
You will have 4 options during installation:
1) both /data and /cache get formatted to ext4 (which is what they "normally" are)
2) only /data formatted to f2fs, /cache formatted ext4
3) both /data and /cache get formatted to f2fs
4) no partition gets formatted (for dirty flashing and keeping the existing file system configuration)
On the following page in Aroma you will choose the appropriate kernel for the file system combo you selected.
PLEASE make sure that you select the correct kernel! I made it clear as can be in Aroma. It's up to you to actually read and pay attention!!!
More Installation Options In Aroma
Select any Asus apps you would like to have, but select only those Gapps you absolutely need to have right after first boot. Instead, install Google apps from the Play Store later.
The reason for this: If you choose them in Aroma they get installed to /system, but you want them on /data to take maximum advantage of the improved performance on f2fs.
Browser - Browser2RAM
The rom comes packed with the stock browser and LMK's own version of Browser2RAM (B2R) which is optimized for the stock browser and the stock browser only!
If you want to run any other browser select the B2R option in Aroma. That will install sbdags version of B2R which works with a dozen different browsers (including the stock browser but not optimized for it).
If you plan to use only the stock browser do not select that option.
Post-Installation Tweaks:
Turn off automatic updates in the Play Store settings
Set Animation and Transitions to 0.5 or lower in Developer options
In Settings > Wi-Fi, Advanced Wi-Fi, set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "only when plugged in" and uncheck "Wi-Fi optimization"
Stock browser advanced settings: Uncheck "Fast Scroller" and "Dim the screen while website loads"
Asus customized settings: Disable "Smart Backlight adjuster"
Hints And Tips
A reminder: The ROM boots by default with the JB 4.1 Asus UI (nav buttons to the left, Asus quick settings panel in the lower right). If you want the JB 4.2 UI (nav buttons in the middle, quick settings panel from top right, notifications top left) go to Settings > Launcher > select it and reboot
Dirty Flashing/Changing Kernels
If you want to reflash the ROM with the same file system/kernel combo and only change app selection or tweaks: Select "Do not format partitions" and "Do not flash a kernel" in Aroma.
If you want to change only the file system on /cache without also formatting /data (which would wipe your apps, settings and personal files):
Enter TWRP > Wipe > Advanced > check "Cache" > Repair or Change File System > Change File Systems > choose the file system you want and swipe the button.
Go back to TWRP Home, choose Install and flash the ROM. In Aroma choose "Do not format partitions" and then select the appropriate kernel for your new file system combo

This is a short list of LetMeKnow's ET Tweaks:
My tweaks default setting:
Code:
PowerSaving mode : GPU @ 520MHz and CPU @ 1.2GHz (cpu1.sh)
Balance mode : GPU @ 650MHz and CPU @ 1.4GHz (cpu2.sh)
Performance mode : GPU @ 700MHz and CPU @ 1.8GHz (cpu3.sh)
Go here and change them yourselves with a reboot: "/system/ect/cpu1.sh" and change these settings in the "cpu1.sh". Repeat for others two modes. Look for these two lines:
GPU settings and changing:
GPU mV:
Code:
mV: 800 875 920 985 1042 1088 1135 1185 1290 1350 1410 (mV)
Freq: 200 267 304 361 408 446 484 520 600 650 700 (MHz)
Code:
logi "echo [COLOR="Red"]1350[/COLOR] > core_cap_level"
echo [COLOR="Red"]1350[/COLOR] > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level
Change "1350" to "1185" for 520MHz or "1290" for 600MHz.
CPU settings and changing: The unit is in (KHz)
CPU mV:
Code:
mV: 200 300 420 485 510 540 575 620 650 690 740 795 860 895 930 975 1025 1075 1125 1180 1240 1300 1380 (mV)
Freq: 51 102 204 370 475 620 760 910 1000 1100 1200 1300 1400 1450 1500 1550 1600 1650 1700 1750 1800 1850 1900 (MHz)
Code:
logi "echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > pwr_cap_limit_1"
echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/pwr_cap_limit_1
logi "echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > pwr_cap_limit_2"
echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/pwr_cap_limit_2
logi "echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > pwr_cap_limit_3"
echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/pwr_cap_limit_3

echo [COLOR="Red"]1800000[/COLOR] > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/pwr_cap_limit_4
You need to update the Red frequencies to a desired frequencies that you prefer and save it with a reboot.
Change the DPI:
DPI available for the Cromi-X: 136, 148, 160, 180, 200, 213, 224, 240
1. Go here: /system/build.prop and open the build.prop file in the edited mode with the rooted file explorer.
2. Look for this line "ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx" and change it to "ro.sf.lcd_density=new-DPI". You need to pick a desired DPI that you prefer.
3. Save your build.prop and reboot. Your DPI should be updated after the reboot.
That is all I have right now and have fun...
Notes on latest ROM version:
CROMi-X-ET-v.3.0-RC2:
If RC 2 is the first time you install this rom, just follow the instructions in the OP.
RC2 is basically RC1 + the latest performance patch by LMK
If you are already on RC 1 you can just flash the correct performance patch for your file system configuration, wipe cache and Dalvik and you're done. The patch is available in the Downloads section (one zip contains both patches) or from post # 77.
You can also dirty flash RC 2 - just remember to choose to not format any partitions in Aroma, and then select the correct kernel for your file system configuration.
If you had sudden reboot issues on RC 1:
1. In Settings go to Apps, swipe to All
2. Select the apps/games which caused the random reboot issue and ONLY click on the "Clear cache"
3. Do this for all apps/games which caused the reboot
4. When you are done, you need to reboot the device to complete the process. Please note that your device is going to be a little slow at first but it will improve the performance after a few minutes of usage
Congratulations on your first ROM release! :good:

Nice.
An oldie but a goodie hehe
Please excuse my noobish question. When formating the internal or ext sd card should I put any user file or data on another device (pc) for safe keping until after formating and flashing the rom? When moving the user files and data back to the f2s formated cards do I need to do anything special.

Thanks for your thought.... However, I am totally broke so I don't have money to buy it...
Any way, I did not do much in this release except for sharing my settings with others users.... The ROM is developed by @sbdags and the kernel is developed by @Hundsbuah. The repacked ROM is done by @berndblb. My tweaks are focused on the I/O optimization for R/W. I just found a balance for those read/write setting. The f2fs is a big help in this area. I think that is it, hahaha.....
Thanks,
LMK

Do you mean your /media partition? Your media should be either in Fat32 or exfat format.... I would recommend the exfat for your /media filesystem because it seems like it has a better performance in the write speed. These are the settings when you format your /media: exfat filesystem and "Allocation unit size" should be 128 kilobytes or 256 kilobytes. Please report back if you see improvement when you copy files to your media on your external uSD.....
Edit: For your internal SD or /media, you must move all your files to your PC because when you install the ROM, it will format your /data partition including your /media. When you are done with your installation, you can move it back to your internal /media but I would recommend you keep all your personal files on your external uSD....
Cheers,
LMK
For some reasons, it is duplicated so I delete the contents of this post....
Well done and welcome guys! I might just have to try this!

We are more than happy to hear a feedback from you. We hope that we did not screw it up so bad from your original Cromi-X v5.4, haha.....

The point is, since /data/media is in the same filesystem as /data, it can't be formatted separately.

I can't. He owns it already. I'm just holding that space for his next good ideas...
His posts are not hard to find. Hit the thanks button to your hearts content... All goes into the same pot...
Really nice to see you guys putting all the effort in giving new life to this dinosaur!!
Never got friends with KK and L on the TF700.
It's actualy quite flying again and quite snappy. High Five...!

Oh c'mon ! Maybe she's a granny, but dinosaur? A little harsh... ?
Good job guys! Installation was as painless as I've ever seen. Having Aroma do the FS changes was a stroke of genius, who do I thank for that? ROM boots FAST. Does seem like forever to shut down though. More next week after I find out how the new TF owner likes it!
Hi everyone ! I can't download the rom via Xda-Developers, the download is very slow and after a few minutes the download stops (Network error).
Can you Upload it on AndroidFileHost (or mega...) ? Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english
This ROM is running wonderfully on my tf700t with a couple exceptions. I'm using plex and if I use the HDMI out with fullscreen video it will sometimes freeze the tablet when paused for too long. With plex fullscreen video & not using hdmi out it will sometimes artifact the display, freeze, & reboot.
