there are no ext4 controls. ext4 is enabled in the nexus s by default. plus the mount data ext4 script is in every custom nexus s kernel out there.

What phone? What ROM? I believe the filesystem is by default ext4.

nexus s, original rom
so the filesystem of nexus s is ext4 by default, is that right?

yes. i believe that it was the first android phone released that way.

This kernel works with on EB13 with both RFS and EXT4.
This is a PROPER release of the kernel, as it includes the new initramfs changes from EB13.

Thanks!
cant wait for the new Quantum Rom by the Way!
Can we flash this Kernel on CWM3 & then flashed the De-oxidized pre-rooted rom?
If not, how do we make it work on EXT4?
Thanks Dameon... I can't imagine why we still want to support RFS,since you were the big backer of EXT4 in the beggining,and we have all proved it safe. Just want to see the kernel as clean as possible... And I can't wait to see you put out an OC/UV kernel.

So do u have to do the 1 click root v.2.5.x install the kernal then do the 1 click root cwm3? I'm just confused a bit.

Didn't work for me. Shows the stock "Android" logo flashing over the boot animation and then the phone freezes and keeps soft-resetting. Followed the directions to a T, guess it just doesn't like me.

no use the one click root from the link i provided. it will install cwm 3 once you reboot and convert everything to ext4 automatically. then all you do is flas the kernel.

EXT3 or EXT4?

I have clockwork mod 3.0.2.7 and I don't believe it has EXT4 support. First, what is the difference between ext3 and ext4? Second, why are all of the latest kernels, namely Morfic's Trinity, Ext4 only? Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question. It just seems like people are very helpful here. I tried Google but I the responses were confusing. Thanks in advance.

Ext4 is faster, Trinity is true ext4, faux kernel mounts as ext4 for easy switching I guess.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Thats it. EXT4 is faster. I'm sure there are other benefits but it being faster is why you would sought after it.
I don't use it simply because I flash nightlies so often that EXT4 kernels aren't caught up. Sure they should work most of the time on new roms, but with the G2x being so new and so many changes are being made to make it stable, using a custom kernel right now just isn't worth it.
Your best bet is to focus on a custom kernel and use what they use. I would recommend cutting flashing back a little to prevent unneeded hardships with conflicting kernels/nightlies.
Once development slows down from getting the drivers to function properly, I'll give it a shot. I hear the UnderVolted kernels are fantastic for battery.
I just flash so often that it is an additional pain to flash a custom kernel over top every time. Plus I use Rom Manager which makes flashing effortlessly easy. For me to use kernels would require me to boot back into Recovery manually and flash the kernel every day.
Maybe one day CM7 will move to EXT4 and I don't have to worry about it.

[Q] changing ext3 to ext4 ?

I currently have my phone setup as ext3 running MIUI (last weeks). I want to know how to convert my filesystem to ext4 ? Do I need to run NvFlash again ?
Thanks
Not really sure how to do it manually, but if you flash faux123 4.3 kernel it will do it for you, make sure it is 4.3, very nice kernel good battery life and fast.

Well I was going to try
[ROM][Gingerbread 2.3.3] Weapon G2x 3.0_R1 [NEW TWEAKS APP & FEATURES!][10.22.2011] WhiteHawxk.
Faux .4.3 kernel doesnt convert partition to ext4, it leaves it the same, but it mounts as ext4.
Edit: i myself use this w/ miui

"Encryption Unsuccessful" CROMBI-KK and GRIMKERNEL

Hi guys
"Encryption Unsuccessful"
this problem appear when i flash CROMBI-KK-cm11 ROM with GRIMKERNEL, and i not find solution :/
whats wrong?
U probably flashed grimkernel with f2fs support. Now u need to format /data and /data media using twrp which support f2fs (it should be in crombikk or grimlock thread, it is in geass kernel). After that it will work fine

Ext4 vs f2fs

Which one is better for Android devices ? Do you prefer ext4 or f2fs ?

EXT4 is the most versatile and the most common in android, some users prefer swiching to f2fs because it uses a faster read/write speed than EXT4, but EXT4 is more reliable.
