Hi sorry if i sound noob but i would like to try converting my stock rom from .rfs to ext4 without breaking anything (My setup is exactly as described in my signature). I understand that ketut has created a script to make this happen.

My question is how do you do it? Do you create a .sh script with this and then just run it using script manager or do you have to run this script in recovery?
Thanks
you can do this without scipt it's easy, first,flash CF-Root kernel in recovery , then go to the app drawer then open the EXT4 app, then covert to ext4 this operation will take about 2-3 min in recovery,of course you need to have CWM4,at the end it wiil reboot you phone so enjoy it
Press the thanks butom if I helped
that ketut's script can only be use on odin files, cannot be use on already installed rom. btw cfroot ext4manager app should be able to do it directly from the phone.

ketut mentioned it is possible to do so on a pre-existing ROM but he doesn't recommend it haha.
Hmmm, i do not know why i don't have the ext4manager app even though i am on CF Root b82 kernel. Do i have to download the ext4manager app separately?
=====================================================================================================================
EDIT
I found the ext4manager on chainfire's post. Will install v1.3 and do the necessary file system conversion... and pray it works!
=========================================================
Update
It was my tardiness that led me to use chainfire's original ext4manager where i should have been using the version modified by ketut!
It worked like a breeze, install and the whole thing was done under a minute in recovery. I am very very happy with the results for i managed to gain about 400 points in Quadrant. Well, i couldn't get a OC kernel to work with my Stock ROM but this mod is ain't exactly that bad in coaxing out some performance.

hey i have installed and tried that but it seems like ext4 manager is showing no ext4 partitions found ? did it converted to ext4 or still am on rfs

did you use ext4manager from ketut's thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=714285&d=1315543936
ext4manager MUST detect your cf root kernel. if it does, it will automatically show the various partitions and the file system applicable.

thats just the kernel itself. scroll down and find CF Root S5830 ext4 v1.3 in the post by ketut if you want to. btw the link i posted earlier on is the actual download link for the ext4 manager that has been modified to work for S5830 by ketut.
Will this method work on all Galaxy ACE versions. My wife has the version for Latin America, same as the one sold in Brazil and Chile.
Not sure about the ROM version for this one though.
Does stock ROM kernel even support ext4???
could u help for installing CF Root ?
i have a stock rom 2.3.3
thanks in advance

Like a Michael Jackson music video...
The script (see below) works as follows:
1. It takes the correct files from the BaseRom folder and copies them to the BuildOdin folder
2. If boot or recovery images exist in NewRom folder (extracted from the cwm zip) it will copy them to the BuildOdin folder too
3. It will create the system.img.ext4 file in the BuildOdin folder
4. It will copy the system folder in the NewRom folder to the system.img.ext4 file
5. It will tar and md5 the files in BuildOdin folder
So make sure you have:
1. The adsp.mbn, amss.mbn, cache.img.ext4 and preload.img.ext4 in the BaseRom folder
2. The boot.img and recovery.img in the NewRom folder (or BaseRom)
3. The system folder in the NewRom folder
And run the script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Requesting password to allow running as root...'
sudo echo 'Thanks :)!'
# Make folder
if [ ! -d "BuildOdin" ]
then
mkdir BuildOdin
fi
# Copy BaseRom files
cp BaseRom/adsp.mbn BuildOdin/adsp.mbn
cp BaseRom/amss.mbn BuildOdin/amss.mbn
cp BaseRom/cache.img.ext4 BuildOdin/cache.img.ext4
cp BaseRom/preload.img.ext4 BuildOdin/preload.img.ext4
# Copy boot image
if [ -s NewRom/boot.img ]
then
cp NewRom/boot.img BuildOdin/boot.img
else
cp BaseRom/boot.img BuildOdin/boot.img
fi
# Copy recovery image
if [ -s NewRom/recovery.img ]
then
cp NewRom/recovery.img BuildOdin/recovery.img
else
cp BaseRom/recovery.img BuildOdin/recovery.img
fi
# Create system image
mysyssize=`du -s -h NewRom/system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $1}'`
mysyssizeincreased=$((mysyssize+50))
echo 'Filesize will be' $mysyssizeincreased 'MB'
echo 'dd empty image...'
dd if=/dev/zero of=BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 bs=1M count=$mysyssizeincreased >&- 2>&-
echo 'make it ext4...'
mke2fs -F -T ext4 BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 >&- 2>&-
echo 'mounting...'
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 /mnt >&- 2>&-
echo 'copying system...'
cp NewRom/system/* /mnt -rp
sync
echo 'unmounting...'
sudo umount /mnt
# Create Odin and Odin MD5 files
cd BuildOdin
echo 'tarring...'
tar -cf MyOdinpack.tar adsp.mbn amss.mbn boot.img cache.img.ext4 preload.img.ext4 recovery.img system.img.ext4
echo 'copying...'
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'md5sum...'
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'done!'
It looks like it works. I do have some stuff I am wondering about:
1. I have added 50 MB to the filesize, with 30 MB additional I still got a not enough diskspace error. Wondering why...
2. Will it work this way? When looking at a cwm-zip it does contain a system folder but they also contain some other stuff... who knows... anyone care to test?
Well, looks like it's not all that easy. The script works, it creates a file with the exact same files as the one created with dd on the device, but for some reason when using it in Odin, it doesn't work...
Creating the Odin package is superfast now, but will still require some more testing. I guess I should do it with a ROM that I have done before... but too lazy atm...
Btw, this way I could create an Odin package from a CWM backup too If ever needed, just let me know

you could try making system.img file, then rename it to system.img.ext4. Sound foolish probably, but sometimes these double extensions are just added as an indicator. in this case for the system to look up what partition type to take. (I could be horribly wrong tho. But there are like 0 tools on internet for an ext4 maker so not many options available)
Maybe create an empty ext4 image on PC, mount loopback in cwm and copy files to it.

Create image on your phone using busybox
Edit: I updated the script.
I played a bit with the busybox:
my working dir is /sdcard/external_sd/imgtest!
DD a file of ~300MB
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=myimg.img bs=1M count=300
Create a ext4 filesystem on this img
busybox mke2fs -F -T ext4 -L Image myimg.img
Create a new /dev node, named "loop99", type "block device" (b), and some major and minor number
busybox mknod /dev/block/loop99 b 7 99
Prepare your new loop device with an img file (delete is with losetup -d /dev/block/loop99)
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/external_sd/imgtest/myimg.img
Mount it finally
busybox mount /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/external_sd/imgtest/mymnt
Now you may copy what you want, say /system, to this img.
And unmount it (make sure it's not in use anymore)
busybox umount /dev/block/loop99
Maybe invoke some commands to check the size of /system? A quick one liner would be
busybox df /system -h | grep /system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[.]"} {print $1}'
Could be part of the shell script, saved to a variable and increased by some MB just to make sure^^
A very quick and dirty script:
#!/bin/sh
mysyssize=`busybox df /system -h | grep /system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[.]"} {print $1}'`
mysyssizeincreased=$((mysyssize+20))
mkdir /sdcard/external_sd/myimages
mkdir /sdcard/mnt/
mkdir /sdcard/mnt/mymnt
cd /sdcard/external_sd/myimages
echo Filesize is $mysyssizeincreased
echo Now dd a new image for your folder
echo dd in progress...
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=myimgfile.img bs=1M count=$mysyssizeincreased
echo mke2fs with type ext4 on your file...
busybox mke2fs -F -T ext4 -L Imagename myimgfile.img
echo create new dev-node...
busybox mknod /dev/block/loop99 b 7 99
echo apply loopback setup on this node...
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/external_sd/myimages/myimgfile.img
echo mounting new image...
busybox mount /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/mnt/mymnt
echo done!
echo
echo now copy your system files over preserving permissions...
cp /system/* /sdcard/mnt/mymnt -rp
sync
busybox umount /sdcard/mnt/mymnt
losetup -d /dev/block/loop99
rm /dev/block/loop99
echo done!
echo done!
echo done!
echo

Save as a .sh script and execute it. I tried with some ssh server on phone and shell on my PC.
Worked fine, but to be sure a test with a restore would be needed, so treat it as highly experimental.
Very nice, much appreciated!!! Will try (convert) them on ubuntu one of these days as I'd prefer to do the job on a dual-cpu machine
Well then you should skip the steps with mknod and so on. Mount is much more powerful there, so you should be able to do it with these commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/image bs=1M count=300
mkfs.ext4 /tmp/image
mount -o loop /tmp/image /mnt
Hmmm... getting a "is not a block special device" message when ext4-ing in linux. Either the command file is incorrect, or I need to suppress that message somehow... more news soon
Okay!! Here's the first version of the script:

#!/bin/sh
echo 'Requesting password to allow running as root...'

# Make folder

then

echo 'copying...'
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'md5sum...'

I've been searching the forums for a general way to make Odin-flashable ROMs from CWM backups. I'm particularly interested in doing this for Samsung Galaxy 10.1/8.9/7.7 tabs (Honeycomb). Many tutorials use ADB and datadumps, which is fine but is very device-specific, and I haven't found one for the Honeycomb Galaxy Tabs. Using CWM backups seem cleanest and least-device specific way.
So I *AM* interested in how you would start with a full CWM backup, and (not using any base ROMs) get an Odin-flashable .tar.md5 file.
hmmmm bht ho gya hia yaar

echo 'copying...'
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'md5sum...'
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'done!'
Taking out all unnessesary comments and commands, what it's supposed to do is the following:
1. First copy the files from the BaseRom (the ones you usually do not extract either):
Code:
cp BaseRom/adsp.mbn BuildOdin/adsp.mbn
cp BaseRom/amss.mbn BuildOdin/amss.mbn
cp BaseRom/cache.img.ext4 BuildOdin/cache.img.ext4
cp BaseRom/preload.img.ext4 BuildOdin/preload.img.ext4
2. Then take the boot and recovery from another folder as they usually need to be based on another kernel (f/e Skyhigh kernel ) and/or recovery (f/e CWM/Faemod):
Code:
cp NewRom/boot.img BuildOdin/boot.img
cp NewRom/recovery.img BuildOdin/recovery.img
3. Take the size of the new image (based on the system folder size + 50):
Code:
mysyssize=`du -s -h NewRom/system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $1}'`
mysyssizeincreased=$((mysyssize+50))
4. Create an empty system image
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 bs=1M count=$mysyssizeincreased >&- 2>&-
5. Convert it to ext4
Code:
mke2fs -F -T ext4 BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 >&- 2>&-
6. Mount it and copy the new system files (can be unzipped from the cwm-zip) and unmount
Code:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 /mnt >&- 2>&-
cp NewRom/system/* /mnt -rp
sync
sudo umount /mnt
7. The rest is same to building other md5 odin files. Combine them with tar and calculate and add the md5 sum
Code:
tar -cf MyOdinpack.tar adsp.mbn amss.mbn boot.img cache.img.ext4 preload.img.ext4 recovery.img system.img.ext4
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
As mentioned - I am not sure why the system image created this way does not work yet (I only tested it once) - maybe someone else is willing to test?

Nika.
This is just a removal script that removes bloatware.
You can edit the script by your own liking in the file: remove_apps/remove_script.sh
Just flash in any recovery.
But you have to be root and unlocked.
This is not my own idea but just made it custom to JB and Xperia phones.
If you edit the script just remove / add lines in the file i prefer the Note++ app... and flash.
Goodluck to all

The above is an example of my file.
Also usable with "Gscript" from the playstore:
First of all extract your modified .sh script to your sdcard in the folder "Gscript".
In the app go to options and use "add script" and use the file, save and you're done!
Now you can load the script
Download here:
Bloatware_removal_Script_v1.0
Could this script be made to work with gscript for example ? . Will it work if i just paste the text from your post in new script ?
I'll look into it.

Oke so use Gscript from the playstore.
First of all extract your modified .sh script to your sdcard in the folder "Gscript" in the app go to options and use "add script" and use the file save and your done!
Now you can load the script just tested.....
ok, so i downloaded the. zip you included in your first post, extracted the. sh file,........... but after running the script i get this. What am i doing wrong? I use XperiaS
I think it just need root and busybox. Root is not required.
But I can be wrong.
i have granted root access, and busybox with smart install installed
EDIT : My bad, sorry
This is a universal script for all xperia phones. Have three Versions.

Just to point to an alternative.
Android Tuner's file manager offers to select multiple files. Hit delete and the bloat is gone in a minute. I am sure other file managers are also capable doing this.
dumping firmware AT&T Samsung Note 3 credit to A.S._id
need root and busybox installed
su
mkdir /sdcard/NB4

I don't need below, but for anyone who needs the scripts
If you want system.img.ext4
make_ext4fs -s -l 2501M /sdcard/NB4/system.img.ext4 /system
to make flashable for odin
cd /sdcard/NB4/

Hi, does anyone have or can anyone get me the gpt partition data blocks and all? Shouldn't really matter what rom. Preferably any of the released stock ones.
Just working on creating an unbrick tool. Potentially resolving the service code error.

U can get the gpt.bin from one of the ota 4.4.2 update packages or even from a JB RSD-Lite package.
My phone also dead (software failure somewhere) so can't get u the info from the phone itself.
