hello every body
I am one of those lucky members whom sumsung have replaced the phone
the set was have a problem so called auto rest , all personnel data are wipe automatically after auto reboot
according to sumsung the motherboard was damaged
my question is could converting file system to ext4 or Deodexing be the reason or is it a manufacture defect
Seems to be a manufacturing defect. EXT4 conversion and deodexing, if done correctly, does not harm the phone.

Im having the same problem with the same doubts, I dont know why I believe that EXT4 conversion OR Memory card swapping is responsible about that, because they are the only thing messes with internal memory

hello
now with the new 9003
I have converted the file system to EXT 4 using amit apk
now more than two weeks so far every thing is fine
Hi. Ive been using deodexed kpq & deodexed croms for abt a month now, as well as sd card swapping. No probs so far. M just not sure abt ext 4 conversion..
But how can these customizations harm the motherboard if we only touch on the programming mostly?
Kernel mod & overclocking/overheating is more likely to harm our hardware if not done carefully...

EXT4 is harmless..

I always see IC roms looking for an ext-4 partition during installation. I never made one. Everything works fine, is that just to make apps moved to the SD faster, or? Basically wondering if I should do this and if so if any steps are needed other than using gparted or somesuch and wiping and reinstalling the ROM.
I appreciate your kind replies to my n00b question. I only ever made special SD partitions pre-froyo or to lag fix the SGS1.

You don't need to do anything. It is formatting the phone memory to ext4. Don't need to make ext4 on your SD card.

First of all,i am really happy to announce (for those who came across with my desperate threads trying to solve my battery drain over 3G network issue) that flashing XXJPU Rom + Removing the partitions (swap + external extra storage) of my SD Card solved my problem. Battery is not draining anymore,and everything is working just fine with the stock rom.
The question is : Can i partition my SD Card again (to add internal storage,since i´ve came across the damn "Internal Storage is Nearly Full" message) ?
If yes,will i have to reflash the rom or , do anything else then just creating the partition using the Minitool software ?
Thanks in advance,and thanks again for those who tried to help me !
No need to make a new partition, extend the current one by minitool/gparted
I have o only one big partition used to store normal content. I need to make a new one to use as a extra internal storage space.. So i do need to partition it, all i need to know is if it will work and if i will have to do something else after partitioning it

If you create a partition on your SD Card as EXT2 ( i guess its EXT2 ) ,your OS will use it as internal storage.
Doing this,will solve the low internal storage issue.
I Just dont know if it works on stock roms,it does work on Kyrillos, inDroid, Sumee etc.
@OP i though u already had one partition when you said partition again
if your sd is as it is(just one partition)
then do this
flash g3mod
reboot into recovery
and partition
its the fastest way to get a partitio
then you can use an app2sd/data2sd script (system/etc/init.d)
Or if you have a card reader
use minitool/gparted to partition
shrink the existing one and make a new partiton(ext4)
and yea backup ur data, just in case!

Thanks for the reply : )
I will use minitool since i know how to use it.
After creating a EXT4 Partition,what will i need to actually tell my OS to use it as internal storage ?
Will i need to reflash rom ? Run any script (like Data2SD) ?
Also, is the Kernel or the Rom that actually recognizes the partitions and use them ?
EDIT : Hey @cdesai i just partitioned my SD using minitool creating a EXT2 Partition for internal storage upgrade.
Following again,this tutorial here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Titaniun backup is not recognizing the extra space,what do i have to do now ?

Hmm.
ext4 would be a bit better but ext2 is also ok
now keep an a2sd script in /system/etc/init.d
there is a thread in dev section by kyrillos with the script and instructions, use it
or flash a custom rom which already has it
and yes you need a kernel with init.d support, but every custom kernel has that feature(cf-root,fugumod,g3mod,simplicity,etc.)

hi,
how could I convert sd-ext from ext4 to fat32 ? I need eclair.
"sd ext fat32" or "mmcblk0p2 fat32" will make sd-ext inaccessible.
So after normal reboot or re-power phone, I see no mmcblk0p2 line at fs.current
I am on g3mod 2.5 OC
any adwise ?
I definitelly CANT reformat SD card or use some linux partitioning tool .I already tried some linux tool recommended at XDA and sd-ext was unusable then.I have 32 GB memory full of data, so I need some quick and non data-loss step :-o
Try using kmapp from the themes and apps forum. Just search fot it, download it, install it and when you get into the app its quite easy to change the partition type..

I know You think he is crazy, BUT :
a) Froyo is garbage of garbages - except JPU, GPS is at ALL ROMs nearly unusable and JPU is crown of unstable garbage, so I cant use ALL features at one ROM
b) CM 7.2a ? looks great, but :
- GPS is useless, if you have no data connection as I have and as I primary need, then I cant use CM7, I simply cant live without only one GPS I have
- bluetooth does not work at all , OK, I can live with that
- wifi is not 100% OK, I cant connect to some AP where I am able connect by froyo to them, I can move on that If I can connect at my home
- camera does not work at all , no barcode possibilty - As camera is ****ty at all, I can live with that
c) CM9 - I tested it at first version possible, where it was really unusable, but TODAY I am testing 4.0.4
- I had to reflash to Eclair, disable PIN and reflash CM9 , it is definitelly not GOOD
- bluetooth can pair, but probably does not work - I can accept it but if USB storage does not work ...
- USB data storage does not work , with combine of bluetooth problem, I cant get data to phone
- Sygic Aura, Navigon (tested 4.0.1 only ) does not works, luckily Ndrive + Copilot works
+ + + + + + GPS looks like working , today at czech rep is very cloudy, so hard to test GPS fix, but offline fixtime can be improved
So at this moment I have to test 4.0.4 and if I will discover some problem make me impossible send SMS, make calls, clock problem , 100% cpu usage with G3MOD kernel 2.5 OC at 1200 MHz like I used at re-odexed JPU, I will have to do what I have to do :
REVERT BACK TO ECLAIR ane NEVER EVER BUY anything from SAMSUNG F******G company they are ****ting on customers ...
but I need link 2SD , and there are no custom ECLAIR kernel with ext2/ext4 support, so I need to find some way how to convert sd-ext to FAT/FAT32 without repartition SD card...

because I converted sd-ext without sd card repartition or data loss, same like at data/system partition convert

Hello everybody, I come from the Xperia arc forums, been on xda for a few months now and to be honest im still kind of a noob even if i learned a little bit about ADB and rom/kernel/mod installing.
A good friend of mine recently decided to switch from an iPhone 4s to a GS2+ but has no clue about root roms ect so he asked me to tweak up his phone and i want to show him the full android potential on samsung's great hardware (without bricking anything hopefully)
I know the "what's the best" discussions are not allowed but since my friend will pass me the phone for no more than a day i dont have all the time to test every rom out there so i want some advice on the following:
What are the most stable and successful roms for GS2+? What great features do they have?
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
I was planning on partitioning the internal memory and add a 512mb swap partition, i wanna avoid swapping sdcard cause of lower speeds and sd lifetime issues. is it reccomended to swap internal memory?
is there anything in particular about this model that i should keep in mind to avoid bricking this phone?
are most of the internal partitions EXT4 or do i need to convert them in order to increase performance?
Any other advices? i've already flashed with a Note and a Galaxy ACEi but im new to this phone.
Any quick help would be greatly appreciated, he's gonna gimme his phone in a couple of days...
Dr.SAM88 said:

You can check here. Babba ROM and Pandamonium ROM are recommended if you want something stable though not as perfect. I haven't try out Babba ROM and I can't make a comparison. Do check them out.
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
I have not tested the kernels, but you can check here and see the review.

No.

I guess no, I rooted and installed custom ROM by following the guidelines and everything is ok.

Absolutely NO

Forget this old method dude. 4Gb of internal space is more than you need for your apks

New to android and rooted my phone first time through this forum's guide. I wanted to install apps on SD so as App to Mgr failed I went ahead with Link 2 SD and partitioned my SD card. But i created a partition system of EXT2. Does that matter?
Ok so maybe you have a HTC explorer in 2k16 and you want itto work with performance and you want some cool apps in it too. Well you came to the right place.
First off do all of this on your own risk am not responsible for any damage to your phone
Now stuff i be talking about in this thread are following
1. Best custom os
2. Recommended stuff
1.CUSTOM OS
The best custom os for the HTC pico is mini cm9 there is no doubt about it. i will provide the link but first let me tell you all about it and screenshots will be provided too.
Its light weight and it is all on nand. Performance is its other name
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958152
2.RECOMMENDED STUFF
ok so now we will talk about stuff to do after installing the os. First thing you want is internal memory.
before that make sure you have a ext partition on your sd card minimum 1 gb and i recommend you to use a class 10 sd card after that go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389501 this thread download the 40int2ext and follow instructions. Thats all for recomendations
Now let me tell you what apps am using on this rom
1. youtube
2. facebook lite
3. whatsapp
4. fb messenger
5. dr,driving
6. subway surfer
7. temple run
8. dead trigger
rest you can try for yourself
i hope i helped you and if like this rom and that script plz donate to their real owners... :good::good::good:

One thing I never understood in those scripts, should I format my sdcard first? In recovery? In a pc (using for example mini tool partiton wizard)?
What partition scheme do you recomend?

Just have one partition(sd-ext4) which will be your internal memory.
Just make sure you have formatted sd card and make partition.
Install the rom and flash the script on top of it (try int2ext).
It will increase if you follow the OP.

ok random reboots i once had them too there are two reasons for this problem and there are two solutions so dont worry
1. problem with batery:
pull out the back case and clean the battery terminals with alcohol and do the same with terminals on phone. now without putting the battery in press the power button for 10sec after that put the battery back in and voila nomore reboots.
if not then continue
2. problem with kernal:
it can also be caused by a faulty kernal so i will recomend that you flash a custom kernal. and to be frank try one of arsalan kirmani kernals those are stable
hope i helped :good::good::good:

Try without memory card. In the past I had one Nokia with problems like you describe and it was the memory card.
I had 4gb Class 4 with Fat32 and EXT partition without problems. Now I just upgraded to 32Gb Class10 for 9eur because I mainly use my explorer as mp3 player.

MIUI rom is good, it don't have any problem of random reboots.. it is hardware problem... or try 2.3.5 android roms once.. before that format sd card and make perfect partition then change to default recovery and wipe everything which are necessary then flash a rom.. it may or may not works but give a try..
