Is anyone over here using 4EXTRecovery? - HTC Inspire 4G

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161710
I've been rocking it this evening and it's pretty cool. It is particularly refreshing not to have to jump through hoops when restoring an EXT4 file system that gets downgraded with CWM by default to EXT3. Props to the dev of this. This is great work.

I'm rocking 4EXT right now. Very convenient. Ask the features of CWM with the added benefits of everything else

Yeah I'm enjoying it. I love how it does not make you scroll through 20 "no's" just to flash something. I haven't chafed the color but I did change the background picture. I added...of all things...an android ninja lol!

Do you guys know if I can just convert cache to ext 4 without losing data? My other partitions are already ext 4. J

I did that to my ROM that was supposed to be EXT4 but was using a Nandroid so it was "downgraded" to EXT3. Didn't have any issues at all, but the ROM I'm running is supposed to be EXT4. Check your ROM dev's stats and see what file system the cache is supposed to be is one suggestion.

Converted cache fine on ninja 0716

Finally got this on my phone. It is nice. Thanks for posting this.

You're welcome. I was just over in the Desire threads poking sticks in the bushes and ran across this. I've been flashing stuff...just so I can use it . No errors at all for me, and reformatting my partitions to the file systems they should be is a snap.

I just installed it a little bit ago. I've only been rooted for a few days and don't 100% know what I'm doing yet, but it installed without a hitch and seems cool. I'm trying to change the theme on mine, but it's not working exactly as planned.

Just install the zip file through recovery and depending on which version you are using you will either have to reboot the phone back into recovery to see the changes or if you are on 2.11b it will reboot for you.

I think any version will reboot its self as long as the person who made the theme set it up.to do so.

Yeah just download the theme to your SD card, do not unzip. Boot into recovery and then select instal from SD card, find file and click yes. It will reboot back into recovery and then your good to go!

Been using it for a few days, just really got to put it to good use formatting to EXT4 and flashing the new nightly and my other mod and kernel. Really liked it, the themes are pretty cool too.

[Q&A] Miui For Infuse Rom

Notice:
This thread is for general questions regarding MIUI FOR INFUSE ROM.
sticky please
I flashed miui about a week ago. The .30 edition.
Well I want to update and when I try to boot into cwm it just sits at Samsung screen.
I tried to flash the cwm through Tom manager and still nothing. =\
I was having the same problem booting into cwm. I followed LG_iiNsTiiNcT's directions that are below via the2rrell and I was able to boot Jordan's update. Thanks guys.
the2rrell said:
i have seen 2 fixes for this...... this is one of them from "LG"
Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

Anyone have a clue as to how to get Recovery back?

I've ready everywhere about this rom but I cannot find the answer for this!
Do I need to turn off Voo-Doo lag fix for this rom??

[ROM][EL30][MTD] Stock MTD+Root+Deodexed

This is just in case anyone wants a totally Stock EL30 on MTD, or if you are already on MTD and would like to see what's new but don't want to ODIN back. This is identical to the Stock+Root+Deodexed ROM I posted yesterday, except for including ShadowKernel-EL30-MTD-v3.0. Sorry, but I didn't feel like compiling a Stock MTD kernel (but I did need to test mine ).
- Auto converts you to MTD/yaffs2 if you are not already there.
- Does not wipe data if flashing from an MTD ROM.
- If you flashed before updating your modem, see this thread to avoid having to ODIN back.

You need to mount /system in CWM before you flash the hotspot.
Just flashed working great except it did wipe my data. op says it does not. Not a big deal. I have backup.
I'm on cm7
If I made a backup
Then flashed this and updated my prl
Then restored my cm7
Would that work?? Would I still have the updated prl or would it b back to what I currently have???
I know there is another flash that puts cm7 on my sd card but that seems like a very long process to untar the file and go thru the whole thing lol

You're right, I'm sorry. If you flash from a BML ROM, then it will wipe data when it converts to MTD. Otherwise, if you are already on an MTD ROM, it should not wipe data.

[Q] How can I boot multiple roms?

Hi, I want to know how to boot more than one rom using Boot Manager... i've tried to do it numerous times but each time I just get frozen on my carrier logo on reboot. What partitions do i need setup? I'm a bit of a noob so if it's really complicated can you simplify it. Thanks in advance.
Dude, I made a thread on this - did you need to make another one?
I've had no luck either... Tried it on about 5 different ROMs, but never works! Have you tried formatting your memory card?

Are you sure?
Boot manager app has given official support for our device. And I have seen proof of it working - on youtube on a Desire S booting CM7 & MIUI.
Also bootmanager cleverly overrights the kernel with the new boot.IMG each time you flash.

Cm9 Flashing Steps

jt1134 said:
Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

[Q] [Urgent] Quick CWM question

I recently sold my phone, I had it rooted and had clockworkmod installed and everything. I was rushing because the guy was on his way so I threw a new ROM on it (Hellfire 2.3 I believe) and deleted all the other files on the sd card (cwm, data, dcim, media, etc.) so no files were left on it. When I took the sim card out the phone would freeze and not respond. I put it back in and gave it to him. He called me back saying the volume doesn't work and when he tried to call he cant hear the other person. Any help ?
