Team Whiskey (ext 4 native sd card possable with this?)

Dev question since u 2 built the rom and kernel.
Curious as to changeng the fstab and recovery.fstab for the sd cart from vfat to ext 4 and formating the card as ext 4 and remounting. Is there support in the file system for this? Just curious as to trying to find ways to get ext 4 sd card support on boot for the instant mount's and no more scanning sd cards
and this seems to be the most logical way to add sd card ext4 support without the need of programs are makeing 2 partitions.
like adding and or changeing to
/dev/sdb1 /media/sd ext4 users,iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
or
/dev/sdb1 /media/sd ext4 auto,exec,rw,async,user 0 0
for mount speed increase for asynchronous writing

That would be the idea IF this is actually possable without risking killing the card and or phone or both. It opens up alot of possablies hummm swap files ram disks bla bla bla.. Or just really fast file system without the damm limitations of fat 32
I just dont have access to my linux box for a bit so i cant test this at home Or I would do it myself and post results.

true my bad sorry if i came off wrong. Well off to test then ty ill post results. Humm but wouldnt the phone still be readable under linux via usb and windows with the program to read ext 4?
damm cant test no linux box grrrrrrrrrrrr..... cry... well ty for the info im going to dive deeper into this and post results here when i can but ty so much with your reply it helps...
It gives me some ideas n hope i can do it without breaking usb support. or at least re adding it back

I have spare 8gb card ...ill try and let you know what's up...

This has been untested, and I'm not to sure of the results. You would have to edit the vold.fstab, and the recovery.fstab

[Utility] Format back to ext3....

Just flash in clockwork and it will format your system and data partitions back to ext3. Faster than dealing with nandroid restores.
Useful for reverting from installs using Dragon or Trinity kernels that convert you to ext4.
NOTE: This FORMATS your partitions, you WILL lose all data held on them. Your phone will NOT boot until you install a ROM ZIP file or restore a nandroid backup. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
CREDIT: @paulobrien from Modaco wrote this for the O2x. I just changed the partition names to match our setup. I left his original banner in there as a result. My change amounts to about 4 bytes. If you have issues, please don't bother him, post here.

This is great...I always hesitate trying out updated or experimental kernels because of the amount of time it takes to nandroid....the cm7 kernel has been really good as of late so I've been sticking with that

wow, i never knew that. so if we are using one of your cm7 ext4 kernels and then flash a new nightly/kang we could go back to using the stock cm kernel and wouldn't have to necessarily flash your kernel again?

Is there a difference between this and just wiping, formating system and data, in cwm?

cwm is set up to keep whatever format you have at the time you run it, so if you are on ext4, the format command will format to ext4. It makes sense, you wouldn't want to write an ext4 fs onto a partition with vfat on it, for example. Not automatically anyway. And most users wouldn't know what to tell it to use if it were to give you the option. The forum would be full of "What file system do I use?!?!?"... The usual method is to restore a nandroid backup from stock or a stock file system. This is significantly faster.
It is of somewhat limited usefulness as many kernels/roms don't change the filesystem. However, as I switch around a lot with running tests for the cm guys, my own stuff, etc., it's nice to have a fast way to deal with it.

Yes it will wipe.
Upgrading EXT3 to EXT4 will preserve data but downgrading from EXT4 to EXT3 won't.

With cm going ext4 this is priceless.

YOU MUST have a recovery and kernel that supports ext4 in order to use this patch. Pleas at this time only use CWM RECOVERY, format and wipe everything before installing.
1. Format system
2. Format data
3. Format cache
4. Format sd-ext
For more information on how this type of apps2ext works please visit the CyanogenMod wiki.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Apps2SD
--------------
A lot of these scripts are based on the stock Cyanogenmod scripts to mount sd-ext partition and allow a2sd.
I've edited the stock system/etc/init.d/05mountsd to mount ext partition as ext4 instead of ext3. The system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd was made by Cyanogen himself and it can be found on the Cyanogenmod github. I've edited it to activate and utilize the sd-ext partition of the device. The swap patches and the cmparts source edits are all my own work. Please see the github for more details.
Update: There is a certain way that this patch needs to be installed.
It does not matter if you wipe or do not wipe before flashing.
1. You need
to flash in this order, otherwise the permissions for your
rom will not be correct. Flash the rom first, then the
patch, then the gapps.
2. As
many of you might know, this rom already includes
gapps, but do not include this patch like my roms on
rom manager do. Since the patch sets
permissions for the system, and gapps will not work
correctly with the permissions if already installed in
system. I use Crash's gapps from rom manager to do this.
Flash in the same order you would for normal
cyanogenmod roms. Rom first, then patch, then gapps.
Yes even if the rom already includes gapps you still must flash gapps
This thread will only be discussion for Cyanogenmod These are AOSP Roms. DO NOT EVER ASK ABOUT SENSE ROM TWEAKS EVER, they just simply won't work with these mods.
Do not submit revised versions that are already posted, I will try to keep the patches as updated as possible. Do not distribute or modify any of the scripts without my given consent, or at least give me credit!
I am not responsible for you breaking something on your device. If you come and tell me that my mods messed up your phone, I will laugh at you.
I have been running these mods flawlessly with no issues. So let's get right into it.
Options:
WARNING: Before you do anything, do a nandroid
backup. If you need to partition your sdcard via recovery, back up your
entire sdcard to your pc before doing so as it will get formated.
If you want a2sd, then you will need a ext4 partition on your sdcard. I
recommend at least a 500+mb partition. That's it, the scripts will do the
rest.
You can not have any other types of a2sd installed before applying the patch.
The patch doesn't remove, it installs If you have manually installed some
other type of a2sd, you will need to wipe and re-flash rom. The main
important thing is, make sure system gets wiped.
If you want Linux-swap, just simply add a swap partition to your sdcard when
you go to format it in recovery, simple.
Next download and flash the latest patch over your current rom. Be aware
that if you have a swap partition, that your phone will reboot itself once after
your initial boot. Don't freak out and come crying about how your phone is
boot looping, it only reboots once. This is all part of the initial setup to make
sure swap is working properly.

Yes. Sdcard is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1, sd-ext is /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ect. Unless of course you manage to somehow make swap partion #2, in which case it would break the scripts. I could make another patch for just swap if someone wants it.

If you partition with recovery you should be good. 512mb's is overkill. Clockworkmod recovery only allows us to partition up to around 256mb's max. And I never get close to using all of it. But I like to have extra free ram and swap available and not having it maxed out. Scary kernel will work as it supports swap. This also will replace your current cm settings as I have moddified it to allow swap. 1gb is plenty for most for a ext4 partition. If you run out of room some day you can make larger and it still runs good.

Nice. I have swappiness set pretty high to 90 and I have a class4 16gb sandisk. You can change the swappiness in the swap script to whatever you would like and then re-zip the patch.zip. Also I'll have to keep updating the cyanogenmod settings because they have all types of swap disabled in the source code. I will put my source link up on the main post. That's why I have this first one as patch1. I did test this and it works great. So it's not alpha or beta

Works like a Charm, Ext 4 is increasing as i re-install apps and swap is working

This thread already exists. And swap is useless.
Not trying to hate on you sparky. I appreciate you being more active on the forums lately since "the incident".
In all seriousness I am interested in converting to ext4 without swap.
How would I do that with CWM? Doesn't it use ext3?
From what I've read there isn't much of a performance benefit from ext3 -> ext4, however I'm still interested in it because I would like to improve my sd card speeds.

They are good for stock unrooted phones. Benchmarks depend a lot on the kernel and cpu and ram and gpu and other things like sdcard ect. My latest kernel in my rom on rom manager is uv. Therefore it isn't pulling in as many voltages. This is way that kernel gets lower benchmark scores then other. If your cpu runs low on physical ram, it ramps up your cpu more and drains your battery faster. It also overheats your cpu more esspecially when you run out of physical ram. Try a normal kernel (not uv) and it will get better benchmark scores.
Benchmarks mean nothing. Proof does which I will post on the OP for you right now

If your computer, Wii, or whatever can mount the sdcard you could format it that way.
Have you tried shutting the phone down, removing the SD card, and putting it back?
Do you have the Android SDK installed? If so, put the phone in USB debugging mode, crank up a shell (adb shell), and type:
mount
If the filesystem is actually able to mount the phone during normal operation you will see a line similar to this (note it's all actually 1 line):
/dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dm
ask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
If you see that, try these commands:
cd /
ls -l sdcard
That should show you the effective permissions on the sdcard, like this:
ls -l sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-11-20 10:16 sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard
The 'l' means it's a symbolic link (shortcut, in essence) to another place (/mnt/sdcard)
The rwxrwxrwx are the permissions (read, write, execute). You see it three times because permissions are listed for user (rwx) group (rwx) and global (rwx).
The 'root root' is the owner and group for that directory.
If you were able to execute the command, do your permissions & ownership look the same?

Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562 - Move apps to SD Problem

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562. (Android OS, v4.0.4)
I am trying to move the apps installed to SD but its not happening there is no such option i tried the well known apps on play store for this task but they also don't have any such feature when installed on my phone. One of them even has it posted on its app description as given below:
Galaxy S3 is not supported:
* Galaxy S3 configures the SD card as a secondary external storage. This is configured by Samsung. Nothing developers can do about this. Please contact Samsung for details.
Not supported devices:
* Galaxy S3, Note 2, Galaxy Nexus, Tablets
* read FAQ 10 for details: App 2 SD > MENU > Settings > About > FAQ
I have also tried the adb shell pm set-install-location 2 command in the proper way.(The same command worked for my HTC Desire S and HTC Wildfire S).
So, Guys is there a way to move apps to the SD card, WITHOUT ROOTING. Just give me any information you might have about this. I am
assuming this i a problem with the Samsung Android OS.
Since its gonna be my everyday usage phone, i don't feel like playing around or changing the stock OS.:cyclops:
Minor tweaks are alright.
Thanks Guys.

Yes I have the same issue and would like to know if that is possible.
I know there is a fix for the SIII but you need root and I do not know if there is a rooting solution for this phone already.
Please let us know if there is root and/or non-root solution available...
Thank you very much!

I know there is a fix for the SIII but you need root and I do not know if there is a rooting solution for this phone already.
Please let us know if there is root and/or non-root solution available...
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I install my apps in normal way. Afterwards I open the standard filemanager, go to the app directory and use the menue button. Then choose "move" and transfer the app directory to the extSdcard and fill in. Now use the app and have fun. Most of my apps operate from the extSdcard without any problem.

i have the same problem but i cant anderstand what will i do!!!!

Guys i called up Samsung the person at the call center tried to argue with me and give me all the procedures and information like i was a noob (the same things we all have tried or read on the net.) It seems they also don't know that they have a problem !! So, I got angry so he said he'll arrange a call from "TECHNICAL EXECUTIVE REPRESENTATIVE" ( the names they think for position to make them sound important )
And when i got from this above mentioned person she tried to give me the same answer but when i further protested she accepted that this is a limitation of the OS customizations by Samsung.
So, Guys only solution to this problem -- Use a Custom ROM..(CM or some other i don't know)
Please post the name and version, if some one is happy with the Custom ROM they might be using on this phone. (like if it has all the features running)

Isn't there anyway to swap sdcard by extSdCard?
/dev/fuse gets mounted on /sdcard - internatl storage
I've tried with a script on init.d to umount /sdcard and then mount mount my external sdcard on /sdcard, but doesn't work, it mounts /dev/fuse again on /sdcard
