As in title, i have tweaked by me official GB Rom but i dont know how to convert system partition to EXT4?
How to do it, by any app or terminal command?
Use ext4 manager. Search in xda

Is ext4 manager working only with CF root kernel?
I cant find download link to EXT4 manager.
Sorry but wouldn't it be possible using a script from CWM?
like
Code:
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");
This one will format the system but can't we just change it to ext4 and use another partition?

What recovery is best for ext4.. i am currently using the latest xm recovery but i heard there was a better recovery that supports ext4... i am currently installing the revolutions zip ext4 so it formats my phone before i install any rom.. does that make my phone ext4 or should i install another recovery system?

I was passing thru but I think I can shed some light hopefully. I don't know about this "xm", but if it's anything like the EXT4 Recovery or Clock work recovery, or amon_Ra...If the recovery is a EXT4 specific recovery it should convert the file system to EXT4 only[/system, /cache, /data] when ever you wipe. But you need to flash a EXT4 enabled ROM also to take full advantage, a EXt3 ROM[EXt3 is default on all roms w/o EXT4] will work on the EXT4 partitions, but won't be as fast.
4EXTRecovery, it's awesome, everything is working great for me, used it to format my paritions to EXT4 without losing any data.

cache ext4
should i also convert data to ext4? and what is the difference between ext3 and ext4
in case you want to know about my phone state check my sig
Convert if you do not want to lose data. If you going to switch the ROM wipe as ext4 before flashing. Ext4 is newer therefore better. If you need more info ask Google. All the ROMs are using ext4 already, but for a mobile device it does not really matter.

I can't move my apps to my sdext partition, I tried Link2sd and it can't detect my partition (I already tried deleting the partition and creating a new one) I google searched and didn't find anything useful.
So, Is there a way to move all my apps to sdext in CM10?
have you mounted the second partition ?
in recovery mode mount the sd-ext partition . then in link2sd , create mount script and reboot.

if you are on CMW switch to twrp or Yaano's recovery
Use TWRP 2.2.2.0 by oblikas, it works with ext4 fs. The Yannou's recovery mount sd-ext with ext4 fs, but when you make a backup it saves sd-ext as ext3 fs and when restore you don't have ext4 no more.
Anybody found some fixes for yannou's recovery?
And the new TWRP 2.3.3.0 doesn't see sd-ext with ext4 fs.
Anybody tried TWRP 2.3.3.0 with sd-ext and ext4 file system?
Hello all. As per the title, I find that my i9003 cannot be converted to Ext4.
I am on DDLF2, and I used the Ext4 converter script once, then it soft-bricked my device. After flashing DDLF2 again and restoring from my backup, I tried it again - this time using the CF-Root's bundled Ext4 Manager, and its automated RFS to Ext4 conversion. I did it, but I opened it again and the internal flash is still RFS.
Can anyone help?
