[ACS][CWM 3.0.25+]Rfs2Ext4 and Ext42Rfs **UPDATED 7/27

UPDATE:
There was a big in CWM that caused the date to change a good portion of the time randomly to the next day, causing the script not to be able to find the backup, and in some cases not finish the backup. I have fixed that, also in EG22 odexed the /system partition is too full to do a proper conversion so now the script removes the following packages:

Is what the title implies.. if you are running rfs flash the rfs2ext4.zip, it does a nandroid backup, converts to ext4, restores nandroid, clears dalvik, tombstones, and lost+found... then fixes permissions.
Running ext4? Flash the other zip to goto rfs with the same procedure...

No, this is for converting your filesystem from rfs to ext4 or vice-versa. If the ROM doesn't support ext4, this won't help you.

one instance where it will come in handy though.. is when you are on ext4 and want to flash an RFS only rom.. (like Gingerbread) you can flash this, instead of ODINing back to stock, then flash the new ROM

Chris... You might want to change the script for the rfstoext4 and change it to say please flash a rom instead of please reboot... That might confuse people....
Other than that it works great.. Nice job.
So if I'm on EXT4... flash .zip, then install RFS rom before reboot?
Thanks for answering my stupid question. I mess everything up, so I just wanted to double check.

When do I wipe data/cache? Before or after flashing this converter?
I'm assuming wipe data/cache, run conversion, then flash rom.
Thanks,

That would be the best way to do it, although since it backs up /data you should be fine with wiping after the conversion.

Ext4 conversion

I like faux 's kernels but I want to convert system and data to ext4, instead of just mounting to it. Is there a flashable conversion script for both 2.3.3 and cm7?

If you previously used the DarkTemor version you will have to backup your data and do a full wipe including /sd-ext before installing this version.
If your sdcard is already partitioned, the below installation is not necessary. Wipe cache and install.

If already using MIUI, perform a miui backup to retain apps and settings.
Backup your SD Card to your computer.

Install ROM
Restore apps and settings from MIUI backup
NOTE: THIS ROM IS FULLY OPTIMIZED and also includes the latest GAPPS.
Enjoy!

By trying this a2sd version(which I love BTW) we will have to wait to update from this thread correct? And not from the miui updater. Just wanted to clarify.

You don't need a thread for this. DarkTremors a2sd is already in a app on the market.

Yes. If the update is available from MIUI it will be here as well.
Quick question when I partition my SD card through clockwork mod recovery it doesn't give me the option of choosing ext 4 or 3 it ask for the ext size and swap after I choose those two it starts partition, takes like 2-3 mins then says done. My question is shouldn't it give me the option to choose with ext I want???

You don't need another recovery to partition your sd card. There are plenty of tools for your PC that you can use to create an sd ext.

Links2sd

I'm curious to know how this is working out for everyone...how many of us use links2sd. And the ones who use it how much space were you able to save?
For me it seems to be working fine and i have been able to consistently keep 200mbs of free space..the ui is nice and easy to understand. What are the disadvantage to using this?

UGH.
What partition are you guys using.
I tried ext2. After 2 reboots all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I tried ext4. After "1" reboot all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I am trying FAT32, hopefully will work.

You will need to partition it first. You will lose all data on your SDcard so make sure you have your card backed up.
1. Go into recovery and partition your card.
2. Open up Link2SD and it will ask what type of partition it is ( I believe it is ext3, I could be wrong though )
3. Select the partition type then it will create the script.
4. Reboot phone and open up Link2SD and set it up as you would like.

try installing busybox, this should take care of the apps disappearing. it that doesn't work just clear both caches and then you should be good to go. make sure lind2sd is set to ext4 as your sd card should be formatted to this with the latest roms if i am not mistaken.

[Q] innovation HD 7.0 question!!!

this rom requires that i need to convert file system to ext4 for best performance....so how to do that ???....and may it lose all my data ????....sorry for my bad english...
Download sgs kernel flasher from the market, use it to flash the community kernel v8. That will give you ext4 partitions. Then use CWM to install the ROM. your contents on both sd cards will be safe but emails and wireless passwords will be deleted, and all your apps.

You don't have to do anything. The kernel already made the changes for you.
