which format is better ext4 or ext2 for my fascinate telus froyo??
i have used ext2 format(oclf) but i changed into voodooo kernel(ext4) yesterday.
there are some different. i think voodooo is littlebit unstable. for example.
i used downclock to save battery(1.0ghz > 0.8ghz) when i use oclf lagfix.
it was okay.but it isnt on voodoo kernel. freeze happen and it shutdown itself end of call.
I am using the 6.5.7 CM with 2.2.1 amon-ra and planning to partition my SD card. I found a set of instructions that worked with others, but for some reason I received a different result. According to the tutorial, I am supposed to enter this value on the recovery menu:
Swap size:0
EXT size:512
Convert EXT2 to EXT3.
Convert EXT3 to EXT4
But when I tried it, it doesn't ask for the value of EXT. It is asking instead for the value of EXT2. I am planning to use A2SD and dark tremor for this.
Just set that on 512. The way partitioning is done in AmonRa is it makes the partition in ext2 only. If you want to use ext3, afterwards pick the other menu "convert ext2 to ext3". If you want to use ext4, convert ext2->ext3 and then ext3->ext4.
So ill enter these:
Swap 0
Ext2 512
Convert 2 to 3
Then proceed with flashing?thanks
Im in love with this BootManager multiboot app, Does anyone know how to tell if the Roms support EXT4 as opposed to EXT2? I hate opting for a ext4 install only to get hung up during bootup and have to redo the process in ext2.
Ive tried different kernels as well so Im assuming it may lie deeper within the rom. Any insight is appreciated
Hi! I just want to know what is the EXT4 that is saying in most of the ROMS like "homebase", "Aura" and etc.? And what is the EXT4 CONVERTER With fauxs kernel that is in the homebase additional downloads? Does the ROM that you choose automatically convert your filesystem to EXT4? thanks

You have three questions lets make them numerical..
1.) http://bit.ly/rjxoTd
2.) converts filesystem to ext4
3.) no. unless it says it does, then yes.
How do i use ext2 partition on native ap2sd? i used to have link2sd but i heard native is better so i made an ext2 partition anyone know how to set it? minicm7 2.2.1
EXT2 is not supported with this ROM, must create EXT3 or EXT4.
I was tested EXT2 + link2SD but that didnt work. Tested FAT32 + link2sd = same fail.
If you create EXT3/EXT4 it could be auto-mounted, but some bugs could appear...
I recomended to not use EXT, just that SWAP you created. If you use native "move to card", they will be stored on mmc too, but will be visible in some "xxx-secure" folder (not stored in ext part.) - I spent almost whole day to recover all files after testing SWAP and EXT3 (both auto-mounted via minicm) - dont do the same mistake

you should change ext2 to ext3 or ext4, but i think he is saying: get rid of the ext-partition and just keep fat for app2sd/link2sd, and keep swap.
You must format the ext2 to ext3 or EXT4. There is a command for this built into minicm and I think it's something like a2sd format in terminal. Or you can use something like gparted from linux

made ext3 how do i activate it?
EXT3 is automatically mounted by ROM, so you dont have to enable it.
You can just choose if you want to use NONE / A2SD / DC2SD mode in cyanogenmod settings.
