OMFG! You're the greatest Skin. I really am hoping that you can get this up and running without the problems what you're facing right now. Maybe Rex can help you out with the customer kernel and nandroid backup.

Q: Is nandroid backup needed for us to backup the whole ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
yes.... working on!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Any timeframe for it Skin?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Sine.:
Ask also Supercurio, he knows

a lot

about filesystems and I'm sure he's willing to help you :)

Don't ask for ETA, it will be here when it will be ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
And official update? No one of the kernels support ext4?

QUESTION: This system accept init.d, or not??

PM whit the alfa and ill test and see if i can do anything, if you want

bro you are doing hard work. I again suggest you to create donation account. Anyway this is your personal choice.

I think ext4 is default file system in Gb right. I hope this problem solve in future. But it will take time, damn you Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
Why damn you Samsung?? This type of locks and/or system engineering is a challenge to dev's, hackers, crackers, etc.. This make more interesting this "world" of computers.. This is a hobby for a lot of people, is a challenge too.. This things are so interesting in my point of view.. You need to see it more than a simply phone whit an operating system

Just wait and let Skin do what he do.. Just let time to time..

We will have CWM soon..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
I'm waiting for answers from some dev... i really don't understand why rfs file system cannot work... for me it must work, there's only to find how....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Do you know if nandroid backup works with native fw of i9000? If yes, may be you can take nandroid part from there...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Don't know.... if someone can ask about this would be helpful
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
Im on it..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
So..?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
In the sourcecode from https://github.com/koush/android_bootable_recovery I found that it supports mounting rfs filesystem.

int ensure_path_mounted(const char* path) {
...
} else if (strcmp(v->fs_type, "ext4") == 0 ||
strcmp(v->fs_type, "ext3") == 0 ||
strcmp(v->fs_type, "rfs") == 0 ||
strcmp(v->fs_type, "vfat") == 0) {
....

Also to mount rfs it seems it uses usual mount command

int bml_check_volume(const char *path) {
.....
sprintf(tmp, "mount -t rfs %s %s", vol->device, path);
int ret = __system(tmp);
.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
This is in nandroid.c? I don't remember so (i'm at work). I can mount without issue on mounts menu..... only nandroid cannot mount it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
In nandroid.c I can see only usage of ensure_path_mounted function.

Sent from my GT-I9003

EDIT: Now I'm back to PC.

in nandroid I see the following operations:

to make backup it does:

1. int nandroid_backup(const char* backup_path) call nandroid_backup_partition(backup_path, "/system") (and other partitions like "/data", "/cache" and so on)

2.1. int nandroid_backup_partition(const char* backup_path, const char* root) checks if partition type is "mtd", "bml" or "emmc" it calls backup_raw_partition(vol->device, tmp)

2.2 else it calls nandroid_backup_partition_extended(backup_path, root, 1)

3. int nandroid_backup_partition_extended(const char* backup_path, const char* mount_point, int umount_when_finished) calls ensure_path_mounted(mount_point) (that knows about rfs :) )

IE at the end in the case "/system", "/data" we get call ensure_path_mounted("/system") or ensure_path_mounted("/data") and this function should mount rfs filesystem without any problem.

Good luck man!!

Hi, thanks for your work!

There's another dev on the forum who is working with i9003, I can tell you his name or not?

P.S. Fa molto piacere vedere che ci sono sviluppatori italiani che sanno fare bene il loro lavoro!come faccio a mettere la bandierina dell'Italia? XD

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
And the other way is build/mod a kernel that allow ext4? Or im wrong?

Enviado desde mi GT-I9003L usando XDA Premium App
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
That's correct... but i think that fs is not the problem... there's must be something wrong on nandroid partition mounts.... i really don't know what but i will do some... someone have asked to i9000 owners if nandroid works on rfs?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Sine.:
IIRR nandroid can works on RFS, I'm quite sure to had done one nandroid backup with my SGS in january, and it had RFS. (I use to have an i9000 until May)

I still have these nandroid backup on my HDD, how I can verify if it was indeed RFS from these backup?

Do you want me to upload one for you to look at it?

EDIT : I've searched in i9000 section, and reading Chainfire's CF-Root thread, I've found something that will interest you :

So, you can dl a CWM3RFS kernel and look how Chainfire managed to accomplish it, and you can also ask him if he can help you, or at least give you a hint :D

You can also look at hardcore's SpeedMod kernel

EDIT : I remember now, my stock 2.2.1 ROM was an RFS one, and I used CF-Root to gain CWM (not the 3rd version, a previous one) to do a nandroid backup and finally get my hands on custom ROMs :p

For i9000, all stock Froyo ROMs were on RFS, and what was called lagfix was an ext4 conversion. It used to be many debates about RFS vs Ext4, each one with its pros and cons.

Then Samsung used Ext4 by default for their GB ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I can confirm that. A mate of mine had his i9000 running stock 2.2.1. He had to CF-root his to get CWM running. I'm not sure if it was CWM3 or older though. The Samsung GB ROMs now are ext4 based indeed.

And yes, there are pros and cons of ext4 but the pros far outweigh the cons in my opinion. I don't care if my memory will wear out faster! I won't be using a phone for more than a year and half anyway, and I'm sure most here do the same..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
CWM 2.5.1.0 read rfs, i think because in descriptions says that.. So no one can extract de kernel to see if we can add ext4 module? In SGS made it, if im not wrong.. Im in work, when i come hime i would see if someone can help in whit the ext4 add and other things.. Porting the kernel and editing is not an option too? I know that is so different of this Latona but i will ask someone, maybe find a solution..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@spacebar It would suck if the phones actual talent finally showed when we've changed phones. And true that, nothing longer than a year, depends on how samsung does its job on keeping this phone updated. Only question being, If ext4 was added and the phone dies out does the phones warranty cover the parts replacement? I have a 2 year warranty with this phone and id hate to pretend to be blonde just so they consider it "user common mistake"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
If your bootloop or directly do not startup or boot, you will not lose your warranty.. Because they will think that the bootloader is broken

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Then that's great. I can experiment with this to hearts content
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
In my experience, you won't lose your warranty unless you have a custom ROM running and have modded the **** out of your phone and then it bricks or you've physically broken it (which might still be covered under accidental damage..)! :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
Here, Rodderik posted a CWM whit "rfs" and "ext4" support for the Epic 4G..

Im looking if is any way to have a copy of the kernel and see if i can add an "ext4" module or convert the file system..

Ill check if the file system is or not the problem but i need the alpha to test it!!

voodoo fix does not work?

Whit this commands looks like i can make a fully backup, i used all this commands and make me a full backup of my system

This serves?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedevd:
If we apply the lagfix to convert FS in "ext4" and then apply the CWM, what you think?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
after the conversion you will not be able to read the partition since the kernel doesn't support it..

I flashed to the rom found on this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944430

... a couple hours ago and love it, the customizations are awesome and I have been so caught up in the new features that i haven't even re-downloaded my apps yet. Great rom so far but i have a small problem.

I cannot use downloaded widgets or HTC widgets, i don't know if its the LauncherPro app or not because i haven't checked because I am unsure if these roms require home replacements to run properly (thats another question of mine, can I turn off ADW or Launcher Pro while running this rom?) but if anyone knows how to use downloaded widgets with this rom i would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thanks in Advance
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamFerg:
I found out that widgets only work if they are installed on internal memory, so if you download widgets or apps that give widgets you must leave them or move them to internal memory or else the widgets will not show up in the home replacement program.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
HTC widgets are for Sense based ROMs. They will not work on CM Roms. Widgets that are found in the market can be installed and used though. As far as LauncherPro or ADW... it's all a matter of what works best for you. I personally use ADW EX. Others love LauncherPro. Some also like Go Launcher and Zeam Launcher is also getting more popular from what I hear. Any of those can be installed from the Market and is you go with LauncherPro Plus it has Sense-like widgets that come with it. You have to purchase the plaus version for those widgets though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamFerg:
I have a lot of free apps and need to go in and "pro" all of them, i used adw for a while and one thing i miss is the uninstall option when you long press an app on the homescreen but launcher pro came native with this rom so im going to leave it and just buy the pro version i think.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamFerg:
I mentioned that this rom does not support HTC widgets because of launcher pro always running, i found a fix. Beautiful widgets is one way, it is basically a HTC widget replacement but i just found a post on this site about widgets too that was extremely helpful in getting the widgets i want, here it is.

I was in the browser and my screen started shaking and flickering then, screen became all fuzzy and went to blank screen. Seems to be an driver issue. I did factory reset didn't fix the issue. I let it sit for 10 min and turned it back on, now screen came back but not sure if it will happen again. Soon to find out. Is anyone else having this issue?

Also running launcher pro Which I've just installed might be the issue but not sure

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
I have 64bit drivers installed, and my phone is in download mode after a disasterous attempt at flashing for the first time. The phone, when not in Download mode, flashes the AT&T logo unplugged, and an empty battery logo with a spinner in the middle.

I've read endlessly on how to proceed with the reflashing steps, but it requires that I move files to the root folder, and it requires that I enable USB Debugging. I can't enable debugging and I can't seem to get my computer to recognize the phone as a disc drive.

I don't know what to do here, but I'm desperate to get my phone back up and running. I know I screwed up, and I don't need to be reminded of things I should have done. I only want constructive advice that will allow me to use my phone again.

Thank you so much in advance for anything that might get me operational.

Comparison between the xoom and galaxy 10.1

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
Great review ,very informative.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KING SKILLZ:
Thanks 4 this. Really thinking of getting this device when it launches on the 8th. If there is work arounds for the lack of ports, and it can be customized other than fast boot, then the thinner form factor and lighter weight is a scale tipper for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] silentshab:
Up until about a week ago, I also had both the Xoom and the IO Tab 10.1. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is better in every single way except for one: the dock connector and the button placement. I know a lot of people complained about the Xoom's tiny charging pin, but I loved the fact that there were separate micro USB and HDMI ports. I hate that I have to buy an adapter, and then carry it around everywhere... just in case. I also find myself hitting the power button on accident a lot on the Galaxy Tab, and adjusting the volume requires me to move my hands from their natural placement no matter which orientation I'm holding it in.

My favorite things about the Galaxy Tab (aside from the obvious size and weight) are actually the screen and the speaker placement. The screen on the Galaxy Tab is leaps and bounds better (if you hold the Xoom off-angle, you can actually see the touchscreen sensors), and the speakers on the side make so much more sense than on the back.

I actually tell people that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is basically as if someone walked into a conference room and said "make me an iPad 2 that runs Android." Ironically, I recently had someone flat out ask me "is that an iPad running Android?!"

I am a bit worried about Samsung support though. I have an Epic 4G, which seems to have gotten significantly worse with the latest update. My IO edition Tab is SUPER buggy (which is understandable for a pre-release product). I'm just hoping that Samsung is prompt with updates that fix more than they break.

TL;DR > Galaxy Tab 10.1 rules, Xoom drools! :p

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] radiohead14:
interested in this as well. the review made it sound like it could be similar to the xoom tho.. which to me is subpar. oh well.. not expecting much out of tablet speakers tho

oh.. and thanks to artem. that was quite an excellent review
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] silentshab:
The speakers on the GT10.1 sound MUCH better to me. Perhaps it's just because they're not aimed completely away from me, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the sound quality. I agree that the stock browser has been pretty buggy in 3.0 (though much more on the IO edition GT10.1). I didn't play with 3.1 on the Xoom very much after I got the GT (and I have since returned it), but it definitely felt more polished.

I had to disable USB debugging mode in order to get the MTP file browsing to work over USB. It's really frustrating, and seems to run a Samsung app instead of the default Honeycomb support. This and the Software update (under Settings > About tablet) are just two examples where this does NOT appear to be stock Honeycomb... I'm hoping 3.1 changes this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Archangel:
Thank you,,,i disabled USB debugging mode and there is still nothing? I can get ADB to work all day long but nothing in fastboot or nothing for file browsing? I tried the kies drivers and P4 escape drivers that Pershoot gave me and nothing seems to work,,,is there something else that I can try?

I really need a spare charge cable for the transformer but I can't find one for sale anywhere. I even tried Asus themselves who pointed me to their uk web store which lists nothing for the transformer at all.

If you go the ASUS site it lists it as backordered and you can enter your email to be notified when it becomes available.

As far as I know, there are no way to get one regardless where in the planet you are located.

At this point, be very careful with your cable!

We all know the reason updates are slow to roll out is because of money. Why update older phones when you can sell new ones with the latest OS? So would you pay for updates to get them sooner? If so how much would you be willing to shell out?

Trigger 3.3
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I'll only pay it if it's pure Google and no more than 20$. Lol
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
No reason to pay for it. Androids kernel is based off Linux. Open source!

Google should force the hardware manufacturers to give them the drivers. Ya, I would say at this point in the game, with the dominance of Android, why not start playing hard ball with manufacturers and carriers? You don't even need the phone manufacturers support, since most of the components (chips, memory, screen, etc) are from various manufacturers, and not really the phone manufacturer. Just get the drivers from component makers directly.

Anyway, if one really had to pay. I think minor updates should be free, and major OS overhauls should have a minor fee, if at all. Personally, I would pay a small fee for major OS upgrades versus free for small updates.
