[ACS][CWM 3.0.25+]Rfs2Ext4 and Ext42Rfs **UPDATED 7/27 - Epic 4G Android Development

UPDATE:
There was a big in CWM that caused the date to change a good portion of the time randomly to the next day, causing the script not to be able to find the backup, and in some cases not finish the backup. I have fixed that, also in EG22 odexed the /system partition is too full to do a proper conversion so now the script removes the following packages:
Code:
package:/system/app/Launcher2.apk=com.android.launcher
package:/system/app/KeyBoardSlideUpCounter.apk=com.samsung.KeyBoardSlideUpCounter
package:/system/app/MediaHubV126.apk=com.sdgtl.mediahub.spr
package:/system/app/SprintZone.apk=com.sprint.dsa
package:/system/app/SprintTV.apk=com.mobitv.client.sprinttv
package:/system/app/SprintTVWidget.apk=com.mobitv.sprint.tvwidget
package:/system/app/FreeHDGameDemos.apk=com.gameloft.microwidget
package:/system/app/TN6.2-sprint-handset-6201501.apk=com.telenav.app.android.sprint

package:/system/app/W_Installer.apk=com.sprint.w.installer
package:/system/app/Brightness.apk=com.samsung.Brightness

Is what the title implies.. if you are running rfs flash the rfs2ext4.zip, it does a nandroid backup, converts to ext4, restores nandroid, clears dalvik, tombstones, and lost+found... then fixes permissions.
Running ext4? Flash the other zip to goto rfs with the same procedure...

Sorry for the noob question but this means rfs only builds can be converted to ext4?

No, this is for converting your filesystem from rfs to ext4 or vice-versa. If the ROM doesn't support ext4, this won't help you.

one instance where it will come in handy though.. is when you are on ext4 and want to flash an RFS only rom.. (like Gingerbread) you can flash this, instead of ODINing back to stock, then flash the new ROM

Chris... You might want to change the script for the rfstoext4 and change it to say please flash a rom instead of please reboot... That might confuse people....
Other than that it works great.. Nice job.

So if I'm on EXT4... flash .zip, then install RFS rom before reboot?
Thanks for answering my stupid question. I mess everything up, so I just wanted to double check.

When do I wipe data/cache? Before or after flashing this converter?
I'm assuming wipe data/cache, run conversion, then flash rom.
Thanks,

That would be the best way to do it, although since it backs up /data you should be fine with wiping after the conversion.

If I partition my sd card using the tool from ccm, will that wipe my sd card or just resize seperate ext and swap partitons and then format? I tied just flashing the kernel and it wouldn't go past the samsung screen so I'm guessng the partitioning is my problem.

Anyone else that flashed this having any reboots? I tried running smartbench 2010 and it rebooted on the tunnel. Then it locked up on the 2nd try at the tunnel. I've also had 3 reboots so far.

Lol don't be ...if the kernel doesn't work for you, you can just flash another kernel and be back to normal. If a kernel doesn't work, it doesn't require odin to fix it... you just need to flash another kernel
I'm running at 1.3 and had no issues howeve I know there are some picky phones that just don't like it...try running 1.2 see if u still get reboots....I couldonly hope for a "unicorn" phone that could handle everthing lol

I would say to reflash, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes before you start "pounding" on it, lol. Usually if it has a chance to sit and properly build its cache, these issues go away. Again.....USUALLY, lol.

Ah. I got that too when I was using GB. Wouldn't actually mount or unmount any partitions right? Really annoying. Didn't try bothering with it it too much so I'm back on Froyo
The problem is that it won't mount system. One thing you can do is re-install the Rom zip then do a advanced restore of DATA only in CMW.
WOW GEE THANKS MAN! haha but jager beat ya too it just reflash the rom you backed up and just restore the data

Quick question when I partition my SD card through clockwork mod recovery it doesn't give me the option of choosing ext 4 or 3 it ask for the ext size and swap after I choose those two it starts partition, takes like 2-3 mins then says done. My question is shouldn't it give me the option to choose with ext I want???

You don't need another recovery to partition your sd card. There are plenty of tools for your PC that you can use to create an sd ext.

this rom requires that i need to convert file system to ext4 for best performance....so how to do that ???....and may it lose all my data ????....sorry for my bad english...
Download sgs kernel flasher from the market, use it to flash the community kernel v8. That will give you ext4 partitions. Then use CWM to install the ROM. your contents on both sd cards will be safe but emails and wireless passwords will be deleted, and all your apps.
