Can someone help me to change to EXT4??? How to do that??? Just tried to find out in the forum but i did not figure out....Thankssss
Voodoo lag fix will convert your internal storage into EXT4.
Ow thanks man!!! But, where can i get the voodoo for captivate??? Do you have the link???
Never mind...I was reading in other sites that voodoo replaces the main kernel and it could cause some issue whem the official release from 2.2 comes. I will not trie.
Is there some other way to change to EXT4 or is better to use the OCLF in EXT2???
Any change to the file system (any lag fix) will have to be reverted before you flash any ROMs.
Actually, according to what I've read, OCLF's ext2 loopback may have better results than EXT4.
Yeah man...I heard the samething!!! My friend just tried EXT4 and told me that OCLF gives you more quadrands in the benchmark.

you have some reading to do.
quadrant scores are over inflated on our devices using OCLF...it means nothing in reality.

Don't install that one click lag fix, simply install a rom that has the ulf or voodoo lagfix already built in.

ext2 is 17-year-old filesystem technology and is not a safe option, especially for a portable device and with the way Android works.
I could make a car go faster too by removing all its safety features.

It's actually not that big of a deal, since the underlying RFS is journaled. The worst that will happen is you'll lose a few minutes of data if your phone crashes while you're in the middle of doing something.
My problem is...I just tried the Voodoo, but im using 2.2 UCJI6...and i think it does not support the voodoo kernel...i dont know...i tried 2 times and my phone freezed in the boot startup...
So, i went back to OCLF 2.3 and i can tell, my phone is very very fast....also getting 1912 quadrants...I know that could not be real...But the boot is very fast...to open apps is very fast as well...everything is nice so far...
If someone know some way to get EXT4 or EXT3 with UCJI6, please help me...As far as i know JI6 does not support voodoo yet...i found other guys with the same issue like me...
Can someone give me some information how can i change that???

you need to read in the developers section. there is plenty of info about this. there is a kernel that supports it. there is also a ULF kernel that gives you many more options. most of the roms are running it.
If you want to keep to stock then try Cognition 4.1.1. They are basing it from the KB1 leaked release. Note that the KB1 leaked and official is basically the same. It has ClockworkMod built in with support for the Voodoo lagfix. Worked great for me. First rom I had flashed and stuck with.
EDIT: I just realized I bumped a 3 month old post. My thread list was set to sort by subject rather than date.... Sorry.
which one is better in sgs i9000¿?
Why not ext2?
Doc's Rom DamianGTO kernel
somebody says that ext2 it's not reliable so... i didn't put it.
undoubtedly ext4.
I've never lost any data using ext2, that said, I'm currently using jfs all, with system reiserfs. Phone flies.
Insanity 8
now i'm using fugumod all with jfs also because in the fugumod post somebody told that it was the best but i don't see anything different from ext4
Wrong section and old debate and since google used ext4 for Nexus S most of the dev use it for Galaxy S. Because who know better than google what is best or not
yeah, but testing the filesystem with some apps the jfs beats ext4 on galaxy s i9000. at least it's what i read in another post.
I've used ext 4 a lot before and currently am on fugumod with JFS and I can honestly say my phone never felt faster!
I'm only a day with it though, but haven't had any problems so far. But I don't think it's as unreliable as ppl make it to be, I believe is used without trouble in linux as well.
Now that a lot of FS have been added for us to check out, I think we need a discussion on the best one to use.
This should be in q&a and not in development.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I did a test and the results show that JFS is better in I/O.
I wonder why so many people are so fond of EXT4.
A combo like reiserfs on system and rest on jfs seems like the fastest way to go.

ive heard that if your battery dies on JFS it will corrupt!
Strange Problem with JFS/ReiserFS
In Development Thread there is mentioned, that there is a problem with the language/timezone settings on some systems, but these settings are not the only one affected.
also ringtone/message tone "usb debugging" and more settings seem not to be loaded correctly after reboot, when i convert all partitions to JFS or ReiserFS.
there's no problem with ext4 here...
there is also no problem if i just convert /dbdata to JFS or ReiserFS, but if i convert any other partition my settings are gone again.
where is the diffrence between the ext4 and the jfs/reiserfs driver here? shouldn't the fs be transparent to the userspace part of the OS, or are JFS/ReiserFS partitions mounted too late at boottime?
pls help, i do not want to stay on ext4 and the default.prop fix for language is not enough for me due other settings are affected as well...
i'm running FuguMod 3.5-ultra on JVB

I met the same issue when using JFS filesysem with the ZSJPK rom.
At last, I surrender myself to EXT4
Hey guy's please excuse my noobness when it comes to the tab... just starting to play with it a bit.
I'm running Overcome v2.0.0 RC1 right now but want to try out CM7... I'm going to make a nandroid backup of overcome before flashing CM7 and I understand how to flash CM7, But have a couple of questions...
[Quote from Tech] It should be easy to flash it from Overcome 2.0, just flash zImage and factoryfs.ext4 and then wipe after reboot. If your data, dbdata and cache are rfs they should be formatted ext4 on first boot.
[EDIT] Questions answered... Thanks guy's!
1. Being that this will convert me to ext4, if I want to restore my nandroid of overcome will I be able to? Or will I need to restock to go back to RFS then use my backup?
Thanks in advance for any help on this!
WOW.... 31 views and nothing?? C'mon guy's I did say Please.
Cm7 is not done yet. I would wait till he smooths it out before it becomes a daily os.
Rotohammer does work. There is no hardware acceleration yet so video is choppy. It stutters sometimes.
Honestly, at this point until it is smoother. I would wait, if you are new.
Tablet tweaks r awesome.
Its like a missmash of systems.
He took out taskmanager. Changed browser to a lowend one.
Can't help with backup question.
"42"
Thank You for the reply!
Yeah... I'm not completely new to the tab, just getting used to it as it's a little different than what i'm used to. I know CM7 is a WIP but from what i've read it seems stable enough to take a look at. I pretty much understand how to flash it but just had these last few questions. I don't watch alot of video so that won't bother me... as long as it's smooth and the calling works i'm good with it.
Other than that does it have pretty much everything else like the theme chooser and all the other CM settings? If so once I find out more about the format i'm at now I would like to give it a try.
Thanks again for the help... Thanks button hit!
Yeah it has all the tweaks and goodness of an actual cm.
Tech did a good job of porting. I can't say enough how much I love tablet tweaks.
Its stable enough. Unless you are a very heavy tab user, then it'll piss you off. I use my tab so much that I'm surprised it hasn't melted yet. When its completed, it will deff be my daily driver. I just wish it was an actual official cyanogen supported rom.
Double check the thread and see if his patch ended up working for the audio problem with the headphones. And I think I remember reading something about Bluetooth audio being screwy. Not 100% on the bt, tho.
"42"
Kewl will do.... Yeah he said BT was a little screwed up but then someone else said it was just a bit tinny sounding and I can deal with that. Sounds like it's good enough for me.... Just gotta find out if Overcome converted to ext4 and if i'll be able to use my backup if I want to restore. But then again... I guess all I would have to do is restock and reflash Overcome at the worst.
Yes... would be nice if it was an official cyanogen supported rom. But who knows... Look how long the Galaxy S took to get Official support.
Thanks again for your help!
OK... Did some more searching in the Overcome thread, and it seems until he gets the next version done with the new kernel that it's not on ext4 but RFS.
So now I just need to know once CM7 converts me to ext4 if i'll be able to use my backup of overcome to restore if I want too. Or will I infact need to reststock and flash Overcome then use my backup.
Not real up to date on this ext partition stuff yet LOL.
Almost 100% certain you would need to restock in order to go back to Overcome.
If you have any doubt, give it a shot. Worst case is you get stuck at the boot screen and have to restock anyways. But like I said, I'm am about 99.9% certain that flashing CM7 will convert you to EXT4 and that there is not currently a script in the Overcome flashing process to convert to RSF, it's just assumed that you are.
Restocking with roto would do the conversion back for you though. But given how hacky Gingerbread is at the moment, it's better safe than sorry.
Gotcha! Thanks for that info... I was pretty sure I would have to restock but just wanted to ask. Thanks Button hit.
Hello there, I recently flashed CM6 to my G1 and used Zeam for a faster launcher, but friends are telling me that when they used CM6, their phone got slower and slower as time went on, and that I should seek alternatives.
I hear one of the best Android 2.2 roms out there is Froyo by Laszlo, and from reading it seems the only major difference is that it can use the more recent radio/spl/kernel which adds 15MB, and that it's generally lighter than CM6 as well.
Can anyone give me a rundown on what some of the other major differences are? I also hear other good ones are ezterry's AOSP and Froyo for Trout.
As for upgrading the Radio and SPL needed for Froyo by Laszlo:
Considering I have DangerSPL (HBOOT-1.33.2005), RA's Recovery, and Radio 2.22.23.02, is there anything extra I need to worry about other than what's outlined in this thread?
Thanks in advance.

Your pretty much good with everything on the radio and spl, but check out the original thread just to make sure:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
I did look at the thread, but it still doesn't say what makes it so different.
I suppose the best way to know for sure is to try it for myself, so thanks for clarifying.

I have not tried froyo by laszlo, but i have tried cm6 , so i cant tell what the difference is, but another major difference is that froyo by laszlo has apps2sdext, which allows you to install apps in a ext3 or ext 4 partition on your sd card, while cm6 does not.
I noticed that, does it set up the partitions for you, or will I have to do this myself? What would a good size for them be?

Okay, thanks for that, I'm going to try it now.
EDIT: Last question, does the updated kernel for 2708 come pre-installed with Froyo by Laszlo or does that have to be done separately as well?
EDIT2: D'oh, nevermind, I saw it in the features list. Right now it's booting, hope it works!
EDIT3: Wow, they weren't lying, Laszlo did a great job, it's lightning fast! I'm not partial to the theme choice, but I know this can be changed easily.
Thanks for your help.
I do have a few more questions though;
1. How do I revert to the Android 2.2 Google Market? The new one feels a bit too cluttered to me, and flashing CM6 Google Apps did not change this
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I simply ended up replacing the lock screen with Froyo's, as well as tweaking the status bar (making it a gradient rather than solid black, for example)
ok my personal opinion... froyobylaszlo the BEST froyo rom hands down... only issue i find is that the developer stopped updating soo you can take it upon yourself to make changes if you dont like it.. but still to this day i thinks its the best.. sorry to offend anyone by saying that but its only my personal opinion... lazslo rom is just so smooth and stable..
my sd was 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4 and i used this kernel... http://www.4shared.com/file/1j_4eg7x/ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_.html
honestly you will love this rom but i recomend upgrading your radio and hboot... can follow this guide or the one you posted earlier by habbitat22, they are kinda the same..
Is UCKH3 going to see a EXT4 lagfix, or is there another way I can do a EXT4 lagfix on my phone? I like to play games on my phone, and the games are very laggy. I love I9000 rom because they run very smooth, but can't get a modem that sounds as loud or as clear as the one in the captivate UCKH3. Can anyone please help. I've been searching xda developers every day in hopes that I will find a way to lagfix KH3. Thanks in advance.
No kernel source = no lagfix
Cog 5 got ext 4 and it had no source.... I admit odds of getting ext 4 is slim with out the source.

KF1 had ext4 support built in to the kernel apparently. No source needed. As far as if the KH3 kernel also supports ext4, what else is needed, or what method designgears used to convert the partitions you could send him a private message and see if he can provide the details. You could even just check out the cog 5 v2 package yourself.
No DesignGear's method was unfinished. Converting to ext broke alot of things. It is possible though, but when coding the kernel with out the source you usually end up braking things in the process.

What was unfinished? The kernel supported ext4 out of the box, he bundled in the required e2fsprogs and he scripted the partition conversion before the firmware gets installed.
There is no way to revert without using heimdall (or odin) since you need to re partition, but functionally, he did the job.
v2 seemed to run fine for me for what it was. What was broken exactly? It didn't seem like a lot was broken.
Alot of small things. Wifi would connect but wouldn't reconnect automatically. I don't remember exactly why I moved away from it. Thing is on my phone worked well enough to be a daily driver but not for alot of people. Thing is it is possible to enable ext4, but with out source you end up braking stuff.

Fair enough. I just wonder how much of it was 2.3.3 to begin with.
So you Guy's mean I can't get ext4 without a kernel? If the uckh3 kernel supports ext4 then there has to be a program out there. I also had cog v2 installed but I never had ext4 on that rom either. I also had voodoo control and never saw an option for lagfix on cog v2.

If you had V2 then you where running in Ext4 format. There was no Voodo lag fix per say, but the filesystem was in ext4 format (exactly what Voodoo lag fix does.)

Just a thought, but couldn't you just flash the kh3 modem to a I9000 rom and therefore have the smoothness that galaxy s roms give but with the loudness of the captivate speaker? I was on apex 8.2 with kh3 modem and everything worked great. Though whenever wifi was on people complained of an Echo effect.
No. you do not mix I897 modems with I9000 kernels or vice versa. It causes problems, like you mentioned the echo, other problems vary including loss of audio completely on calls...

I have had the audio loss as well... a simple switch to speakerphone and back fixed it. Was unaware that was a modem/rom compatibility problem.
Luckily, I only use my Captivate as an Media Player or for WIFI surfing. The KH3 modem over Apex worked great for me. WIFI has been stable, battry life is better than the non-lagfixed I897 Roms of any flavor and speed is noticeably faster as well.
