To make ext4 and is there a way to make ext 3 to 4 in cwm recovery??

No, as far as to make EXT.3 to EXT.4 in CWM Recovery. As for the best Recovery to use to make a Partition. I've used both ( CWM and TWRP ) , and they work equally well. But if you want a larger one TWRP is the one you want to use to make the partition. I used TWRP to make my 1GB+ parttion. Also I prefer TWRP to CWM.

Ok thank you!

Results wise it should be the same as Teamwin have said they used Koush's partitioning script for TWRP. But TWRP does let you select either ext3/ext4 and allows you to make the sd-ext partition as big as you want.

I recently flashed arhd which replaced my cwm recovery with 4ext. Should I need to go back to cwm, how would I do it? I presume I can't just restore a nandroid backup.
You will be able to restore a backup.
You go back to clockwork recovery if you prefer that over 4ext but it isn't a must.
Either you flash it as a zip or as image by using fastboot.

Cwm backups (since cwm 5.x.x) and 4ext are compatible (not sure about cwm restoring 4ext backups though).

DL Clockwork manager from market....Open it, then download CWR for your phone, it will replace 4EXT. May I ask why you would do that though, wouldn't you prefer to convert to EXT4 instead?

What are the advantages of ext4 over whatever filesystem I'm on right now? I like cwm because I can name my backups right from my rom manager app. (I know you can just rename them after the fact, but it's more convenient that way lol)
I thought that CWR supported ext4 which is HTC uses for Android.

I have cwm and 4ext. When I boot into recovery its cwm. Is 4ext just another Rom recovery manager?

I am not sure about this when referencing the current Generation(S3), on the previous Gen(S2) HTC used EXT3, Sammy had RFS(on all Galaxy). Maybe HTC uses EXT4 on Senny/Evo 3D by default, but that would make 4EXT rec useless; so I feel sensation has EXT3. And EXT4 is much faster and has journaling, these increase I/O speed compared to RFS or EXT3. However everything has to be EXT4 to see the true speed(ROM, system partitions /system /cache /data , kernel support). And I forgot to mention that I am not sure if CWR on Sens uses EXT4, on previous phone it did no converting, but I can look @ the CWR changelog.
Sorry for bumping thread!

RFS should be censored on these forums. Makes me shudder just thinking about it. (I do NOT miss my galaxy s)

Ext4 is a filesystem. 4ext is a recovery.

i have just noticed this and i think 4ext is better than cwm reason been is its much faster than cwm and you can skin it and backups from cwm do work with 4ext just tried
4ext recovery is just faster, themeble and its easier to flash things. Since there are less no no no etc. For the full feature list visit madmaxx82 4EXT thread.
I recently installed WCX Illuminati [3.5 Sense Based on 1.22.461.2 (Quicksall Rcmix kernel v12 )overclocked to 1536 by default.].
While the ROM is not advertised to be (as far as I can tell) an EXT4 ROM, I noticed during the install the system was formatted as EXT4.
I'll like to experiment with some other ROMs that are EXT3. Do I have to go through any special steps to go back to an EXT3 ROM after running an EXT4 ROM, I can I just flash the new ROM though CM Recovery?
Thanks.

There are no steps for that, just flash the new Rom. But make sure to flash CWM recovery first as the illuminati Rom uses stock recovery. Go to Rom manager and flash recovery. Once you have done that flash the Rom you want.

I was wondering this myself also. But I want to ask a little deeper question.
Say I have 2 ROMS. One that is ext3 and the other that is ext4. Each one formats the system appropriately when installed fresh. But say I have a NAND backup of the ext3 ROM on my card and I have the ext4 ROM installed on the phone at the present. Can I restore the ext3 ROM without doing anything other than the normal wiping using clockwork? Or would I have to reinstall the ext3 ROM fresh to get the proper format and then restore the backup?
And would it be the same going the other direction too?

I guess but not sure that when you do a wipe to install a new Rom your partitions are formatted and ifvyo don't use an ext4 Rom then you will have just ext3.

I'm not sure how ClockworkMod handles this but I've been using 4EXT Recovery for a few months and it will automatically determine which format the ROM you're flashing uses and convert if necessary. Works for both fresh ROM flashes or backups.
I've been running ARHD and wanted to pull something off of the stock ROM backup I had. When I restored the stock nandroid, 4EXT formatted the existing ext4 partitions to ext3 and restored the backup. Then when I restored ARHD it automatically switched 'em back to ext4.
Thanks for the responses guys. Still looking for someone to answer positively on this last question. I don't want to be the someone asking about how to get my phone to boot when it is stuck on the white screen. lol.

i'm with the other guy, i use 4EXT. but when making a backup it says "writing ext4 data" (or something along those lines) for each partition that uses ext4. it does the same for ext3.
i would be inclined to believe that CWM does the same thing and changes the file system accordingly. one way to check if it records the file system type would be to look at the tar files. go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/whatever-you-named-your-backup that folder should contain, at a minimum, the following files: system.xxxx.tar, data.xxxx.tar, boot.img, and an md5 file. the xxxx should be the file system that particular backup uses.
EDIT: that is assuming that CWM uses tar backups and not yaffs2. not sure how those backups are structured. either way the filesystem should still get recorded some how.
i think you'd be fine just restoring. there would have been massive amounts of new threads popping up saying "OMGIDIDARESTOREANDMYPHONEISFUX0RED!!!!" if anyone had any problems once ext4 showed its face. know what i mean?
as an alternative. why not just flash 4EXT Recovery? since you KNOW it does what you're asking? kinda takes the guess work out... lol
I have a Rom on the root of my sd card that I want to flash. When I go into recovery and select install, nothing comes up under my sd to flash, I dont have an external sd card installed. However when I boot into recovery using cwm I can, I just don't want to use cwm cuz I have a nandroid in twrp. No I dent want to nandroid in cwm. I don't like cwm. Any help would be great.

Thanks for the answer. and as of the double posts ill keep that in mind.
Also when i checked it it looks like a flashable zip file......
So if i flash it over my existing recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0) do i need to back up before it ......
Also is a wipe data/factory reset required.
solution
maybe CWM 5.0.2.0 will be the best, it formats ext partition in ext4 format and also can take backup of ext partition also with backup of full rom , which CWM 5.0.2.6 can't... so use CWM 5.0.2.0 it is good enough.

Oh, man... This quite a big deal. I had to learn this the hard way. Had always backed up with 5.0.2.6 and, the day I needed to restore my ext4 position, I was not able to... just stick to 5.0.2.0 and be happy. You are losing nothing with this recovery version.

I flash TWRP by @TheWhisp I like it than cwm because it takes only a minute to backup a ROM but I found out during backup, the backup only stored in internal not in external like CWM. also during backup, there are some box that had x and had no x. what does that mean? when I press backup, do I have to touch anything there or just proceed to backup and don't touch anything?
In CWM I used 6.0.2.3 before and it never fails me even once but takes 5 to 10 minutes to backup a ROM. there has a new version 6.0.3.5 but there are some come complaints in the post. what is the gud recovery for galaxy ace plus gt-7500?

I thought twrp can stored backup directly to external. Nandroid backup is about 1gb and my internal dont have that memory since i have apps installed. Cwm is also great but unlike twrp, cwm takes time to finish backup.
Is it ok to flash cwm zip in twrp recovery or must use odin?
What version of cwm you are using?

Like this:
[] Rcovery
x Data
x System
[] Boot
x means selected and will be backuped and no x means it will be ignored.

Just proceed, unless you won't to rename your backup or to compress it (takes way too much time to complete if selected)
By the only thing TWRP can't do is partitioning sdcard (the option exist but it doesn't function properly)
