Our phones are running on RFS file systems and that isnt the best.. actually its know to be very slow/laggy .. atleast when compared to ext4 filesystem
With a script thats available on xda to convert to ext4 we'd be able to do it, the only problem is ; we'd need our kernel to support the ext4 filesystem.
im not good with kernel building or anything like that but it seems its not too hard to do, as Krylon360 (Dev who built our CWM recovery) said to me
krylon360 said:
not hard to do at all. unpack, add in ext4 mount options, repack, then flash kernel, and script to convert.

Now im guessing to someone who is familiar with kernels may see thats an easy task, but i just dont know if anyone with this phone has kernel experience atleast enough to get this task done. if someone could do this, our phones would be blazing fast, those conversions are basically like whats known as voodoo lagfix. opening apps are instant and overall experience is much better. also our quadrant scores would be around 2.2k+ (for those that care about quadrant). Hopefully all working together we can achieve this and have our phones 100% lag free
im going to keep doing more reading but i hope someone can chime in who may know more about kernels than myself
I dont have the zimage here at work. shoot me the STOCK KD1 zImage and I'll patch it.
Man .. your too awsome. its attached in a zip below
Cant thank you enough, but for now.. Thanks again
I added ext4 into the menuconfig and compiled the kernel from source, test this out and let me know if it works, otherwise you can wait for Krylon's version.
Please make a nandroid before testing this, as I'm not sure if this will work or not.
EDIT: My kernel doesn't work, don't try it.
gonna test this out later today
Tried it and got "Installation Aborted." a split second after I selected it. No go
tried it with what?
it's not a flashable zip...
That's it. I thought we just had to flash it in recovery
it worked for me using rm

you've tested it and it failed ?
Yep, tried mine and wouldn't boot, had to flash the stock kernel. I'll look into it when I get home. Krylon will probably beat me to this just like CWM, but i'll keep trying anyways.
I've been trying to compile a stock kernel all day, but can't seem to get anything. It seems that I am using the wrong initramfs, but I can't seem to figure out what the correct initramfs is. hopefully krylon has better luck than me.
I have gotten a correct initramfs, thanks to Epsylon3 on #cyanogenmod-dev. I have successfully built the stock kernel, but still have yet to get ext4 support added.
Sending test kernel to AyoTeddy now, works for me, i'll have him test and then release it.
awesome
but why isn't this in development forum?
Because it was originally posted as a question, it'll be posted in the development forum when its released

Nothing new .. still stock KD1 ROM. All I did was fixed Krylon's CWM KD1. Yes .. this one will flash without any issue.
Same credit as the previous thread goes to whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev.
And special thanks to badb4lyfe for testing it.
Instruction:
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot to cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Then proceed with zip installation
NOTE (6/7/2011)
I've fixed both ROM and edify script, I've tested it several times and flashed without any issue. For dev, list of things I did to fix this:
1. amend2edify tools is nice, but still not 100% accurate. I had to change and add few things to make it work, especially the permission. The boot loop that happened to several of you was because of permission to some of the directories wasn't set correctly.
2. Install app from both market and adb should be fixed. For some reason, both cwm that krylon built and odin version chmod /data/app directory as 755 and owned by root. This needs to be 771 and both uid/gid needs to be system. For dev, if you add apk to /data/app on your ROM, make sure the file permission is correct .. other wise it will break app installation process.
3. OS FC due when enabling wifi was fixed as well.
Special thanks to robbbit for testing this fix and dsexton702 for finding out the final piece. Follow dsexton702 post for how to

NEW UPDATE (6/9/2011):
As promised, I've updated the zip with kernel and modem this time. Also included few updates and fixes:
- Kernel and Modem now included (sorry about that).
- Cleaned up edify script a little.
- Added permission check scripts to check files and directory permissions after installation.
- Replaced modded recovery with a proper modded recovery which was for sgs4g.

Don't deodex and dump the rom again ... this ROM is already Deodexed and added permission script to prevent it from boot loop. Auto deodexer doesn't use permission script and for some reason sgs4g doesn't like that.
Were you able to flash this ROM, unchanged .. and boot from it?
Make sure you wipe before flashing (wipe factory reset and wipe cache partition from cwm)
i was wondering if anyone else had this problem..
rom flashed and boots fine. but when i go to install ANY APP, it proceeds to
download said app,
attempts to install
while installing the phone starts to vibrate (one vibrate, then 3)
then a black screen where the buttons on the bottom lights up
then it kicks me back to lockscreen.
no app installed no nothing. i was wondering if it was just me, or is this happening to anyone else?

no ****! do u pick up a Rx pills and just eat whatever is in it, too?
ok so with all the new amazing development thats been going on around here lately, its time to explain to you guys how to properly use what we've been given.
What are you trying to say dsexton?
that raverx3x and i have figured out how to properly use voodoo and optimze it so that you can have a completely stock sgs4g rom without any mods or tweaks and get a 2000 on quadrant standard.
why does this matter:
not simply just for the score confidence, this actually makes the phone smoother, drhonk even agress that system definitely doesnt need to be ext4 right now, also on a normal stock rom you will get 1000 quad scores and 11 mflops IF YOUR LUCKY, with this mod you get 2000 stock quad scores with 17 to 20 mflops stock!!!
it doesnt just raise your quad scores, it also raises the performance of the phone having cache and system as ext4 is not proper, maybe when we get into Gingerbread it will be, this also will raise your mflops
what you will need:
BLACK ICE ROM KD1 BASED NOT BLACK ICE VOODOO(bionix frost you will get 1800 stock)OR A NANDROID BACK UP
ext4 converter
bali 3.1
Ok so when using bali 3.1 the voodoo will convert system, cache and data to ext4
we dont want system and cache to be ext4 only data
so how do we do this?
get ready for odin people because we need a clean slate
ALWAYS CHECK MOUNTS
go ahead and odin back to kd1
let kd1 boot up and go into cwm
flash the ext4 converter
then flash whatever rom you would like/or restore a back up
now flash bali 3.1
reboot recovery
go into voodoo and disable lagfix
reboot
now wait for your phone to sit for 5 minutes and test that thing out
when going into voodoo control, voodoo should say that you are rfs if it does then you have done it corretly
you should be averaging 1900 to 2000 stock
and when OC'd you will get past 3000
KNOWN ISSUE: everytime you reboot linda is going to want to convert, she should say "voodoo disabled" if you feel your phone dropped performance or isnt as high as the OP is saying it should be check your voodoo control
if you thought 3.1 was amazing just wait till you do this guys, once again your phones will go above the expectations
Thanks to:
Raverx3x he actually found this out, i just figured out what was going on in the conversion process
drhonk for bali 3.1 and voodoo without this we wouldnt be able to convert just data
dameon for his ext4 converter
krylon for his roms
Reserved for future use.
Going to make 2 sets of init files one for people that wanna use pure ext 4 those that wanna use the data only methood and give directons for both.
Sorry if any of this confused anyone. To be honest the best methood is the data only and system and rfs.
What if we do a nandroid back up and use the rfs converter that dr honk provided us and then ext4 converter and then disabling voodoo and then nandroid restore?

Anybody can explain WHY this is happening? Does ext4 actually perform worse, at least in some cases? Or does the Quadrant for some reason just work with rfs better?

everyone needs to get it out of their head that ext4 is the best
because the truth is ext4 is only the best during certain situations other then that ext3 and rfs are just as good if not better during some operations
as for the nandroid back up and rfs im not sure im just telling you what i did
i would assume that instead of flashing a new rom you could just use your back up and it would work the same

If I'm reading the comments right, it seems that Bionix Frost is better than Black Ice with this mod?

I totally see your point here...odin a clean slate...is always best!

you have done an awesome job putting this together to test point a -- z.

How long should it stay at Samsung after doing all of the steps? I did all of the steps. Samsung flashed several times. Now its just staying at Samsung. Been this way for a couple of minutes.
sdcard issues
ok, first of all I did this and everything worked fine.
Upon first reboot, I think it went 4 or 5 times through the samsung bootloop and then loaded the rom (i wasn't watching it fastidiously).
Upon loading the rom and loading my apps from titanium backup, I finally hit the issue of not being able to move apps to the sd card; it just comes up with "failed to move application". I've rebooted just to make sure things weren't off from first boot. It's still not letting me move any apps to sd (even if allowed in the os).
Any ideas on what to try next?
I'm still at Samsung logo. Don't think its going to load the Rom. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Following the steps. This is the second time I've tried this.
NM, figured it all out.
Going to give it a shot shortly.
This failed to work 3 times. Going back to RFS Gummy.

From what I have read over at Rootzwiki, that seems to be a problem exclusive to Imnuts' hacked kernel (possibly, he posted that he is looking into it as some users used his kernel and didn't have this problem). This process uses another kernel.
I was waiting for more users to give reports back, but I might just give this one a go.

Ok so am familiar with android, and regularly flash and tweek my nookColor, but this phone is just WOW!
Ditching an iCrap4 for this phone was the best idea I had in a while, and within an hour after buying it I rooted it (had to do other shopping) . But there is so much more to choose from for an actual android device. The thing is I want to stay on stock 2.2.1 for a little while, until I do a lot more studying on roms.
Ok so here are my questions after tearing thru the searches with several different phrases:
1: Can I flash different kernels on stock rom? I keep getting many threads and read thru them hard but can't find the answer. Looking at Community Kernel 8.
2: Darn, reading thru other threads while creating this post fried my brain, forgot what 2 was.
Thanks y'all.
Yes You can! . I have flashed many different kernels on stock rogers infuse 2.3.3 with odin. I dont see why you wouldnt be able to on the AT&T version.
Sweet! Now to read up on odin, but will SGS or CWM work on the stock? That was the second question.

SGS kernel flasher works fine on stock ROOTED 2.2.1 ROM. I believe CWM is flashed/installed when you flash the community kernel in SGS kernel flasher or other method. I can't remember off-hand as it's been a while since I was on stock froyo for any length of time. LOL.
You will probably also want to read up on Heimdall as well. It's a good method of flashing pretty much anything to your phone and Odin can be finicky sometimes. Personally, I've never had a problem with Odin but knowing how to use both is a good idea. You know, just in case.
Even sweeter then, and I have CWM already, so that will get replaced? No problem.
This is gonna be hectic keeping all the stuff for the "andros" seperate. lol
I'm really itching to flash a rom, but this thing is set up like I like it, and it was a pain getting her there.
That is why I am waiting to flash, I'll get bored with the way it looks in a week or so, and start over.
Plus RESEARCH is crucial.
Thanks y'all
Ok flashing community v8 now and this voice is telling me it has 5 mins left, oh that is cool!

I don't think rom manager does us infuse owners any good so you can install it but I've read it doesn't work all that well with our phones. It worked flawlessly with my n1 but support for infuse is not there yet.
I've never been able to mount the SD card in red cwm if that's what you were referring to. The community kernel does not overclock so really you just take advantage of the ext4 fs and voodoo lagfix (robot voice lol).
Hope this helps.

if your on stock i believe they are located somewhere else, but the main question is why are you still on stock??? :O
want good battery life and performance? CM7 is the way to go. yeah you can get prolly the same off infused or other roms, but thats after numerous tweaks, tweak this change that, tighten that up, loosen that up, delete that, add this blah blah blah. in my experiences, CM7 is the best out of all of them.
just my 7 cents.
Is everything (bluetooth) working on CM7 (HDMI doesn't I know)? Weird issues of any kind?
That or Serendipity are what I am looking at.
Bluetooth is the only buggy thing. But I don't use it so it doesn't bother me. Other than that its amazing.

Yeah, battery life is around 15-16 hours for me with 20% left on it when i get home to charge it. this is after some music texting quick searchers and what not. could be better if you really really work the battery though but im fine right now.

So everything is going good, trying out different radios now as service in my area sucks!
I have run into a small problem though, I really want a different boot animation, but there is no bootanamation.zip in the system/media folder on the stock rom. Just a bunch of .qmg files. Can I just add the file and it work? I was gonna try it, but wanted to see if anyone else was a guinea pig. Dont wanna screw something up too bad.

If the bootanimation.zip isn't in system/media try data/local. I don't currently have an infuse, in waiting for mine , but other phones I've owned have had the zip in data/local... Good day
Tried data local, but I think the only way to get custom is to have a custom rom. No boot.zip on phone at all using a searcher.
it has to kernel enabled too... Once you get on CM7, if you do, it will be in the media folder.

I'm on the latest KJ4 leak and there wasn't a bootanimation.zip in the media folder neither. All I did was drop what bootanimation.zip I wanted into that folder a BOOM goes the dynamite
Big dog Infuse I997 GB KJ4
Tried that too, no luck.
So Im lookin at S7, but coming from stock ROM, with infused 2.0 kernel, I know I need the infused GB kernel after flashing the ROM, but do I have to wipe system and DATA, and start customizing my stuff again? Or just format system, cache and dalvic, flash rom and kernel, fix permissions, and go? Then my phone should be the same with all stuff there, just updated to a better ROM.
Have been hoping to see this happen, but appears we are stuck. I mainly want kernels to use.
rooted 1.55.531.3 with clockwork recovery and SU
Nope still working on it - we as a collective have come to a halt for the moment because the next step requires writing a kernel module that doesn't exist.
Since i'm digging through the kernel code trying to figure out how to do it, i've been also working on the other kernel projects that were either half-done or not started, and yogi2010 and I are taking steps together to write a real nice custom kernel for the doubleshot.
It's gonna take some time, HTC has written their kernel to pull what amounts to a packet-switching tactic when you try to write to the filesystem on a protected partition.
So.. evn if I am rooted and the HTC Dev unlock worked I cant flash roms? or just kernels?
Thanks..
you can flash roms normally...just when your flashing a kernel you have to do it manually
What do you mean manually? Fastboot?
