Is anyone over here using 4EXTRecovery?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161710
I've been rocking it this evening and it's pretty cool. It is particularly refreshing not to have to jump through hoops when restoring an EXT4 file system that gets downgraded with CWM by default to EXT3. Props to the dev of this. This is great work.

I'm rocking 4EXT right now. Very convenient. Ask the features of CWM with the added benefits of everything else

Yeah I'm enjoying it. I love how it does not make you scroll through 20 "no's" just to flash something. I haven't chafed the color but I did change the background picture. I added...of all things...an android ninja lol!

Do you guys know if I can just convert cache to ext 4 without losing data? My other partitions are already ext 4. J

I did that to my ROM that was supposed to be EXT4 but was using a Nandroid so it was "downgraded" to EXT3. Didn't have any issues at all, but the ROM I'm running is supposed to be EXT4. Check your ROM dev's stats and see what file system the cache is supposed to be is one suggestion.

Converted cache fine on ninja 0716

Finally got this on my phone. It is nice. Thanks for posting this.

You're welcome. I was just over in the Desire threads poking sticks in the bushes and ran across this. I've been flashing stuff...just so I can use it . No errors at all for me, and reformatting my partitions to the file systems they should be is a snap.

I just installed it a little bit ago. I've only been rooted for a few days and don't 100% know what I'm doing yet, but it installed without a hitch and seems cool. I'm trying to change the theme on mine, but it's not working exactly as planned.

Just install the zip file through recovery and depending on which version you are using you will either have to reboot the phone back into recovery to see the changes or if you are on 2.11b it will reboot for you.

I think any version will reboot its self as long as the person who made the theme set it up.to do so.

Yeah just download the theme to your SD card, do not unzip. Boot into recovery and then select instal from SD card, find file and click yes. It will reboot back into recovery and then your good to go!

I just flashed 4ext, and converted everything to ext4 on CM7.1. Worked perfectly, and seems to have made a noticeable difference in speed. Thanks for the tip!

Been using it for a few days, just really got to put it to good use formatting to EXT4 and flashing the new nightly and my other mod and kernel. Really liked it, the themes are pretty cool too.

retarded i might be but can you tell me where you downloaded the file? i saw the thread on rootzwiki but i didnt see the link to download the actual 010 only the links for 009 and the beta versions of 10 ultimate. i think i read that beta 3 is the same release but i wanted to confirm.
thanks
nvm... i am retarded. for anyone else as oblivious as i, its after "Installation instructions"... not at the bottom of the post by the release info...

Still can't get this combination to work. I've done multiple wipes. Even used wipe tools. Any more suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yup. Boot into CWM and format cache, data and system partitions. Wioe dalvik cache and then flash darkside. Odin back stock. Flash CWM. Flash darkside again. The flash sky ics. Reboot. TWICE. Then flash faux 010m.
I know it seems long but it'll take 10 min, tops. I can guarantee it'll completely fix your problem

lol I could have told u that. A non working camera indicates an improper flash, or remnants left over from previous roms, NOT a permission problem

I have the same issue, non working stock camera. I have to use a 3rd party app to take pictures. I did a full wipe using the wipe codes reflashed rom with kernel while wiping cache and dalvik and sti have the same issue. Has anyone found a fix to this?

[SCRIPTS] [Updater-Scripts] EFS-backup, Clean_Wipes, Wifi Fix

Hey Guys. (THESE HAVE ONLY BEEN TESTED BY ME ON GB 2.3.6)
I have put together a collection of updater scripts for my own use. I think they will be helpful.
They are a work in progress...I may need some more testers or feedback.
I wasn't sure if these belonged in the Themes/apps or Q/A. I guess mod can move if appropriate.
If more needs come up, I can try to fix or do something else.
1. The EFS_Backup will back up your EFS into a tar file that can be restore via Odin, Heimdall or extract/copy/paste in the even you lose your EFS on a bad flash. It will be handy to have. I know it works because I tried it several times. You only need 1 or 2. It will make a file on your /SDCARD/EFS_BACKUP/
2. Clean_Wipe: This contains multiple layers of delete of old systems files, data files, cache files, dalvik files and any other left overs from a previous ROM. Hopefully flashing this before you flash a ROM will wipe all traces of previous ROM to give you a clean slate. This will not erase your SDcard or microSD card.
DO NOT FLASH THIS unless you are ready to flash a ROM or have a ROM on your SDcard. If you tried to reboot without flashing a ROM, all you will see is a pretty bright white Samsung logo.
Ideally this will eliminate the need to jumping around in CWM trying to manually erase everything.
3. Bluetooth_fix. Ideally this would restore the infuse BT function bases on UCLB3 files. Flash it. Fix permission and reboot. It seems to work for some but not others...I don't know why yet. This is tested on INFUSE NATIVE ROM only..I DONT BELIEVE THIS WILL WORK ON MIUI or CM7. I have no idea what that will do. If I get more understanding, I will make revisions if needed.
4. Wifi_Fix: After flashing some ROMs, some people have wifi issues. Dropping etc. I have suspected that it is due to left over from previous ROMs or problems with multiple writes during cache build. I'm not sure. I have not had this happened to me over some many attempts to borked it. I wrote this up as an attempt to delete the broken configuration and force a new file generation.
I tried it on mine and it does just that. However, not being broken before, I can't tell if if will fix your borked wifi connection. The current best fix is reseting your router or changing the DHCP time - which in essense, forces your phone to produce a new configuration. This may save you a walk to your router log in and changing the DHCP.
edit: (3/28/2012) This may not fix more long standing wifi issues some users are having. It may fix the log on/drop off scenario.
Again...my disclaimer is that this is for development purposes. I have tried them all...I can make no warranties on them or their safety on your phone.
I hope you can find them useful.
Feedback is welcome...good or bad...so I can learn some more.

I like the practicality this has.

Thanks..one more confirmed working.
The idea I had in the wipe script is that sometimes a complete wipe is not needed. One may want to save some data. In vagabond, I had put in complete wipes to ensure first time installation success... that got tedious after frequent set ups when I was testing. If I set up another build, no wipe will be in the ROM. The end user can decide. I thought this would be useful for others as well switching between ROMs without the hassle of navigating in cwm.

thanks qkster
the Clean Wipe is it just a faster way to wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik? is it better then going odin or Heimdall?

It's faster than trying to jump around in cwm wiping everything. It will ensure a 99% clean..I'm leaving the last 1% for the idk moment. For most instances, it will suffice.
I use Heimdall or Odin only when I need to fix a boot loop, system file error, partition corruption or if I thought the problem came from using a froyo base with a gb rom.

I really like this idea. The wipe file is genius.

jt1134 said:
Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

for some reason with all my phones ive never been aware of my bootloaders... i think its because i just flash cm and never look back,

Therez no way to check bro. Same spot as you. When i home from school, ill try flashing. But just try flashing with froyo bootloaders, it may work. If it doesnt, then odin back to stock.

I think you're right, the first time I flashed i had the rainbow and i was on froyo bootloaders, after restore to GB it came up fine.

How long did it take you all to get off of the initial Samsung logo at start up to the cm9 boot animation after flashing? It has been roughly 10 minutes so far and it hasn't moved. My recovery is all screwed up with funny colors, but it's nice to know that others have encountered the weird recovery as well... was on Devestion before following the steps for flashing cm9.

4. Install zip from SD.
5. Reboot system. Enjoy
NOTES:
This has most of the same bugs our aokp R1 had and maybe a few other small bugs.
To fix reboot menu. After initial boot let rom settle for 5mins, manually boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik. Reboot system.
