I have been running Tweaked 2.0 for a week or so, and it's great, but I continue to get hotboots. I'm not running anything else...no tweaks, no other kernels, just plain ROM...and still get a couple of hotboots a day.
I wanted to try the FP1 PBJ kernel, but that requires EXT4 for wifi to work.
I have the ext4_formatter_all.zip utility on my sd card, I booted to recovery, ran the formatter, reflashed Tweaked 2.0, then restarted.
My phone hangs on the Samsung logo.
The only method I found of getting it working again is go back to stock, take the OTA, then put Tweaked back on it.
So, I am doing this wrong? I used to be formatted for EXT4 in other ROMs, but I can't seem to get it to work now.
Not sure where you heard that PBJ requires ext4 for wifi to work because it doesn't.
Running the formatter does exactly what is says. It formats the partitions. There is nothing at all in them when it's done. You have to run the formatter, then reflash the rom and kernel.
FWIW, PBJ will likely do nothing at all to fix your hotboots. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're running a lockscreen with music controls available. If you run the Circles lockscreen, it will probably fix your hotboot situation.
I must be mixing things up with respect to file system format, pbj kernel and wifi. My bad.
My steps are the same as you listed except I was not flashing the pbj kernel after flashing the ROM. I thought I could do that from Tweaktools. So I was trying to let the phone boot up, was gonna check that everything was EXT4, then install pbj.
But now that I think about it, are you saying the only way to use EXT4 with Tweaked 2.0 is to have the pbj kernel installed? If so, then that's my answer. If not, then I still don't understand why my phone won't boot after I format ext4/flash ROM.

Because running the formatter reformats the filesystem where the kernel is stored as well. Tweaked doesn't ship a kernel at all, so if you just flash it, you don't have a kernel on your phone at all.
...and regarding the hotboots, yeah I didn't expect the new kernel would help there. I figured if I'm gonna continue to get hotboots, I might as well see if I can get better performance out of it.
I don't use any lockscreens. I have it disabled entirely. And I rarely play music on my phone...Pandora once in a while. Maybe disabling lockscreens contributes to hotboots too?

have you seen dwitherell's hotboot fix in the TS 2.0 thread? there are several posts about hotboots there (mostly about changing the heapsize from 64 to 80 or 96 I believe).
I read on another forum that it could be attributed to an app or two that you are running (maybe even have that app installed on your SDCard - trying moving them to your phone's internal memory one by one and see if the problem persists).
regarding re-partitioning:
so here's what I think you need to do:
- download and install terminal emulater
- find out if you are RFS or EXT4 (if RFS, proceed to next step)
- download and CWM IMO's kernel (after mounting, wiping cache/dalvik)
- re-boot
- re-install the dirty PBJ kernel via CWM (after mounting, wiping cache/dalvik)
I have not tested this yet - as I have no real need to outside of just curiousity. so if you want to take the plunge, go for it. but I'm not responsible for what happens....
I tried the heapsize tweaks, stepping up the heapsize over the course of a few days. I think it might have reduced the hotboots a little (like 3-4 boots over a 2 day period instead of 4-5 boots.) I will start investigating my apps, though most are already installed on the sd card.
I'm formatting to EXT4 right now...fingers crossed!
Update: all good now! Thanks Shrike!!
Here's what I did when I moved to FP1:
1. Flash FP1 ROM of choice, and then flash imoseyon's Voodoo kernel (the fact that wifi breaks on this kernel doesn't matter)
2. Boot phone. Wait as the phone reformats as ext4 (saves your data too!)
3. Once phone starts up, boot back into CWM and then flash the FP1 PBJ. This will fix your wifi.

Thanks for the suggestion kv. I was hoping my question would result in the documentation in one place of the the methods to correctly format to ext4. Now we have that (assuming yours is correct LOL!) Of course it was my own dumb oversight that Tweaked 2.0 didn't come with a kernel that caused all my problems in the first place.
I opted for the ext4 formatter route mainly because of the hotboots I get with this ROM. I figured, if I'm gonna make changes, make the ones with as clean an install as possible...and the formatter wipes everything.
Fyi, switched over to ext4. Worked great except that my phone was stuck at the boot screen for 40 minutes. A simple power off and power back on and I was good. So the steps I outlined above worked (for me). But curious to see if anyone else got stuck at the boot screen after the repartitioning.
tappin' that....
Yep, same thing happened to me. Got stuck on the first boot after flashing. Powered off, restarted, good to go.
And on a side note, I've had zero hotboots since going to EXT4 and PBJ FP1. Was getting 3-4 a day before that.
actually just got my first hotboot - tried taking a pic with the Camera Zoom FX, and when saving the pic, it did a hotboot.... tried it again, and it was fine - so I don't think it was a direct result of the ROM or anything else...
Help - rfs or EXT4

I got stuck too on the reboot. I didn't wait 40 minutes though. Restarted after 5 minutes. Sometimes you just know when to pull the plug.

Here you go guys.
This kernel will allow you to use CM6 w/ ext4.
Basic instructions:
Flash back to a normal DK28 rom,
Follow all steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890494
EXCEPT, flash this kernel at the end, after flashing Cyanogen Mod: http://efragtv.com/android/CM6-DUALFS-v1.1.zip
This also fixes wifi, and su.
NOTE: Everytime you flash CM6 (To update to a new nightly, or whatever reason) YOU HAVE TO REFLASH THE KERNEL!! CM6 installs its own kernel.
iam confused...do u have to flash to stock..then do the ext4 then flash cm6...then the kernel or wat
Just as you said.
UPDATE:
This new version fixes lpm battery charging freeze.
Flash in CWM
http://efragtv.com/android/CM6EXT4-Kernel.zip
This combination absolutely FLYS!!
Consistently score in the 2300 range in quadrant (yeah yeah I know), but the whole phone just feels snappier too.
For some reason my 3g doesn't seem to work, so I won't be keeping it (tired of not receiving mms too, so that's as good of an excuse to try out Quantum as any).
Great work Dameon87! Hopefully the cmsgs team implements this in as standard in the future!

Hmm.... I wonder what would've stopped 3G from working in the modification...
Was there any reason Samsung used RFS in the first place? Is there no downside in using ext4? I usually use ext3/4 when given the choice on a desktop Linux installation, but just wondering if there's something I'm missing here.

1) its their proprietary file system
2) ext4 was not made for flash memory..thus will reduce the lifespan of your NAND memory..don't panic though it'll still last a few years...just not as long as it would with RFS...
Mostly 1...
Just for curosity do you have any links for actual half life of data on flash memory, would be a great resource if you did.

So, I've been running Quantum ROM 2.5 with ext4.
Can we flash this and CM6 without going back to stock DK28 and running the bat file?
In case I don't catch you...
You forgot root in the kernel. So, here I am, super fast ROM, and no root access. Oh, and it took three tries:
1st - Formatted everything, couldn't remount anything
2nd - For some reason, 2.5.1.2 recovery just vanished, couldn't boot, house caught fire. Blah.
3rd - Smooth. Everything seems to be going well. Except root.
k thx bai
Yea Clockwork 2.5.1.2 disappears on its own for some reason. Once you have ext4 installed and 2.5.1.2 disappears you're screwed. 2.5.1.0 can't flash, back-up, or restore anything it seems.
i havent tried this with cm6, but the issue with 2.5.1.2 "disappearing," it might actually still be there. in 2.5.1.0, go to advanced > reboot recovery. you might get 2.5.1.2, i'm not sure where it installed, but ROM manager reboot to recovery foes to 2.5.1.0 but adb reboot recovery and reboot recovery from 2.5.1.0 brings up 2.5.1.2.

you got voodoo enabled. what are your settings like...maybe you just need to re-odin then reflash the ROM and stuff...sometimes phones just need a fresh start
^Agreed. I can't count the times if done that. Mostly after I have went through five or so kernels but none the less it can't hurt and I haven't done it yet and regretted it.

Yes I have voodoo enabled. I have not changed any voltage settings yet. When you say to re-odin are you saying to flash back to stock ec10 and then reflash the hienz 57? Still learning the terminology. I did go from the voodoo kernel to hienz without a fresh start. I also didn't wipe the data but for the first few weeks it ran awesome. I have also had a few half reboots. Like it would go to the android logo but not all the way to the samsung logo

Thinking of trying this but did you have the cwm 3 or just the 2.5.x? Also can I just flash the H57 zip and be back up and working?

Normally i have zero issues with lag, however as of late I've had some slight issues with lag as well, even with lagfix enabled - to remedy it I simply enabled the 1120 overclock step and it's been fast ever since (and not too bad on the battery)
I just happened to be browsing the Sd card since I just dl the newest H57 and noticed that after formatting I dont have the android secure folder. Is this a problem or will it create a new one?

I had flash multiple roms on the sgs4g and eventually flashed back to kg4 stock after having random shut offs and other issues with those roms and now consistent reboots right after it turns on. I wiped caches fixed permissions All I can do is get her into download mode and cwm voodoo red screen. At one point during the reboot it went on to AT&T network
The kg4 i have is a stock leaked version with ext4 installed on it. After a day of flashing the phone usually goes into a reboot loop. Has anyone experiences these issues before? Could my motherboard be fubar?
I wonder if your bootloaders aren't hosed? If you can get into CWM, I'd suggest turning off voodoo, get it into download mode, and ODIN chadster214's KG4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413
I've found that ROM to be a good starting point for GB ROMs. Let me know how it goes.
Thats actually the kg4 rom I am on and have always used for bootloaders. I factory restored it in cwm and it stays on chad's kg4 the rebooting has stopped for now. As for voodoo linda cant convert due to sd card even though shes done it before and its already partitioned to do so.I think the kg4 bootloaders are fine since they lasted this long until now. Can launchers and voodoo cause this rebooting and shut off problems? I'm going to odin it to chadster's again so it can erase everything.Ill give it a day before problems occur again and report back. Thanks for the response.
Firmware: 2.3.4
Baseband:t959vuvkg4
kernel 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkg4-CL385158
Build GBvuvkg4
1.So I flashed chadsters kg4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1392615 with odin.
2.Then I successfully rooted it following the instructions from the link. Phone works fine no reboots after about 8 hours of use. (I fresh reinstalled apps from market no Titanium restore)
3.Next I flash the kernel stock+Voodoo-T959VKG4.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 which gives me red CWM with voodoo ext4 lagfix. After flashing that kernel I start experiencing the random shut off when screens locked, and rebooting issue. Also I get the "can't access the system/tmb/csc error" everytime when flashing in cwm and reg recovery, and im wondering if thats normal.
So I guess its the voodoo kernel thats causing the issues for my phone. Before I started flashing other roms it was fine, now its acting up
Sounds like lagfix is enabled but is causing you troubles. Get into cwm and disable ext4 lagfix, that should keep your phone from reboots.

Do you use a task killer? If you do, remove that and never touch anything like it again. That definitely causes random reboots.

I believe you have to disable voodoo before flashing, else you may be stuck with some parts of the file system in ext4. I'm wanting to say I had problems after going from a voodoo kernel to a new ROM when I forgot to disable. I ended up flashing chadster's KG4 ROM, drhonk's KG4 kernel, going into recovery, disabling voodoo on everything, then re-flashing to a non-voodoo ROM/kernel.

I have rooted my phone using the ACE Hack Kit. Once that was completed I wanted to use the cyanogen ROM(recommend from a friend). I fully wiped from phone and then ran the cyanogen zip. Everything is fine until I use my phone for an extended period of time(for instance when I'm trying to set up my phone). For some odd reason my phone will freeze and I will be forced to take my battery out. From what I've read/understand I have done everything properly. Is there anything that I possibly missed or have not done that will cause these random freezes?

You or anyone wouldn't happen to know off hand if the kernel is UVed or OCed? This sounds like a UV or OC problem. Its an easy thing to fix if it is and I find that's is always best to rule out the easy stuff first! Some phones don't like to be UVed or OCed at all and freezes like this sometimes are caused by exactly that, UV or OC.
edit: and oh yeah, WELCOME! If you really like CM ROMs, give absolution a try (at the very least, if you or someone doesn't know if the kernel is UVed or OCed, you're be using a ROM I'm familiar with and if the problem persists on this ROM, diagnosing the a UV or OC problem should be fairly simple and I'll know how to get that fixed quickly for you since I haven't used the straight CM ROM in quite some time!) Actually come to think of it, did you check the md5 number? you could have downloaded a bad link causing a bad flash. It's rare most of the time but I have seen it happen..
If you havent downloaded any apps and dont mind reflashing the ROM just down load the full wipe place in ROOT (No Folder) of SD Card go into recovery.
Full Wipe (DO NOT RENAME AFTER DOWNLOAD)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CJPE5CB7
1. Choose zip from SD Card (Full Wipe 1.5) and Install
2. Choose zip from SD Card (Cyanogen ROM) and install
3. Reboot system and enjoy.
I dont like to do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik whatever method, the zip 1.5 does a full wipe all on its own. Its an EXT4 Wipe so I use it for all EXT4 ROMS that I like to try out.
!!!WARNING: When you flash the full wipe do not exit recovery without installing your ROM. So make sure that when you enter into recovery thru Rom Manager to reflash make sure that you have both (Full Wipe Zip) and (Your ROM Zip) on your SD Card before installing.
I tried cyanogen and completed hated it. Absolution is the Bomb!!! But to each their own flavor.
ENJOY

Not a problem man! Be aware though with the 1.5 wipe that it DOES format your system and data to EXT4, and if I'm not mistaken if you make a back-up on EXT 4 and then format back to EXT 3, it will not work and the same applies for vice versa. If you do end up trying Absolution just drop on by the Q & A if the freezing problem persists, I or one of the devs will try to give you hand the best we can..feel free to PM if you go with Absolution
So does the 1.5 wipe SDCard also? will EXT4 end up being a problem? Also, will do! I really appreciate the help!
I'll def give absolution a shot!

No, if you use the full wipe it pretty much just does the wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in one flashable zip. I typically use the 1.5 then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. It is completely overkill and really not necessary but I do it just the same. No, EXT4 should no cause a problem. I'm pretty sure that almost all the ROMs are now EXT4 supported. I believe it would say it if it wasn't at this point. I know the major ROMS (ARHD, CD, Bindroid, MIUI) are all compatible with EXT4. The only issues you will find with EXT4 is the issue I mentioned in my first post and if you want to use gene's tool to unroot.
Welcome to xda and yes I had the same problem I was setting up setcpu and I sneezed and I accidentally pushed it all the way over to 1.9 and my phone didn't like it it just froze...I was worried :/ so I turned my phone back on and went into setting and forced setcpu to close (mind you it took a few restarts lol) but yes I had let it reset itself and now it's working again I just need to remind myself to do a nandroid once a day xD hehe

No problem we are here to help each other. Usually if I want to get back to EXT3 I just flash the rooted ATT gingerbread ROM (PD98 zip) in hboot.

I believe there is a 1.3 wipe that formats to ext 3 again, just in case the OP wanted to format to ext3 before flashing a new ROM as opposed to flashing a new rom and then having to wipe and then flash again.
Cool Thx I'll do s search for the 1.3. It be good to have.

i have been having issues using the infinity rom when multitasking. for example when i am using pandora thats all i can do. if i try browsing or anything while on pandora my phone freezes and restarts. and everytime i try to overclock it to 1.3ghz it freezes and restarts as well.. this is the process i am using to flash this rom.
1. coming from teawstock v1.4 (latest build), pb&j kernel, tweakstock is already ext4... right.. but thanks to imnuts, he provided the proper conversion tools needed in case i were to be RFS... lol, thanks buddy for this rom in advance. i have flashed everything available for this phone and your rom is by far my favorite... hahaha. i will post a screen capture of my quadrant standard to show you how much ive tweaked my ****.. lol. i think my last benchmark was around 2360...
2. data foctory reset/ wipe cache/ dalvik
3.mount system
4.flash rom/TSM parts, love the TSM parts by the way!!!!!
5. reboot phone.
Can you OC to that level on a different ROM? Your phone just may not be able to go that high.

I guess I can't tell you to use the non-tsm rom then eh? I find TSM to be too buggy and cause more problems than extra goodies, plus theming can edit just about any part of your phone on any Rom, icons, statusbar, you name it.
Anyway whenever I flash a new rom I always revert back to stock with the charge.pit file to make absolutely sure that my partitions are set up correctly. A little more time consuming than just wiping data but I have never had an issue jumping from one Rom to the other.
To make sure I was back to ext4 since I was flashing from stock straight into InfinityRom, I flashed Imosey's kernel (which has lagfix) and autoconverted me to ext4, then once my phone booted with ext4 I just wiped and flashed PB&J kernel again. Nice and quick, flashing the kernels to get me to ext4 took all of about 3 minutes. Now I have InfinityRom, PB&J (w/ the awesome advanced sound tweaks), and no lag. If you wanna give it a shot I can help shoot you some links for all the files I mentioned.
Also be careful not to OC too high, there is a point of diminishing returns.
cliMACtic, yes that would be great. I found the updated infinity rom but have never returned my phone to stock. Links and a little instructions would help. Thank you
