I flashed the bionix black ice made a backup then converted my phone to ext4 then restored the backup but it seems the only thing that converted is my cache. The system and data stayed rfs. Anyone else have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Negative. I did exactly the same and it was working like it should. Did you wipe and adjust mounts before a restore?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
Yes I did everything like I'm suppose to. I guess ill flash the ext converter again and then my backup and see what it does, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Not trying to say that it'll fix everything, but I don't know why it didn't work for you??? It did for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
im going to assume that you flashed something else besides the restore after the restore like maybe a kernel?

if you did not then you need to use the converter then do the restore
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
No I just did the restore after converting to ext4 am I suppose to do both? I thought it said one or the other.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
If what I'm reading is right...is this mod needed for the new Black Ice ROM? Voodoo converts our system to ext4, right?

I've been testing the 3.0 bali. with voodoo lagfix and I only get 1500 on quad with. 1.4 OC I think something is up if my ext4 method is getting higher scores
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
my quad scores dropped by 500 using bali 3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
I was doing about 1800 before, now about 1500.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Yupe.. it's the kernel not the lagfix. Your ext4 conversion method is the same as voodoo and I think epic took that from voodoo since they are identical settings. Some of my tweaks doesn't play well with it .. just tested with Bali 2.1 after converted to ext4 using Bali 3.0 .. and quad score is much higher.

Something I have to research on and fix. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i figured, i knew it couldnt be voodoo. i wasnt tripping over it just had to make sure

i always trust your work drhonk, your a boss!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
is 1800 score good enough with non OC kernel? :D :D

Ummmm, YA! lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Bali 3.1 is what's up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
whoo hoo! thanks! scores are back up;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] babyfacedkayos:
Just a little tho, i was @ 1300 on 3.0... Now i am @ 1400-1500 on 3.1.

i was pushing 17-1800 while on 2.1 w/ ext4 and whitehawx rom NO O/C. pretty vanilla stuff.

it still feels smooth as ice tho dr honk!

keep up the GREAT WORK
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
i soft bricked my phone recently (woohoo!) and i had to reflash everything. i installed the extconverter.zip file and then immediately flashed bionix frost following by bali 3.1 and the kf2 modem. this phone is flying, but is there a way to see specifically if the system is ext4? i tried reading through this thread, but there are so many posts, its hard to keep track. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Yes get voodoo control from market then look for magic it will tell you what's converted
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
can we use Bali 3.3 instead of 2.1? or should i just flash back to 2.1, back, ext4 convert and the reboot, let sit, boot into recovery, flash 3.3 and reboot? i'm sure that this has been asked before and i apologize for asking if it has but there are 33 pages of stuff and i just don't have the time to read through it all

EDIT: I went ahead and backed up my Black Ice/3.3UV setup, flashed 2.1UV and backed that up, flashed the ext4 converter, and attempted to restore my 2.1UV backup but it's hanging at the .android_secure. What did i do wrong?

EDIT #2: I flashed Bali 3.3UV and then attempted to restore the backup that i made for Black Ice/3.3UV and it got past .android_secure so i think i'm good

EDIT #3: I'm rebooted and /system, /data and /cache are all ext4 so i think i'm good
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sethtyler21:
woo go me i dropped my phone after the conversion but before the rom and battery fell out. now stuck at white galaxy s screen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
try getting back into cwm, you may still be able to. if not, odin to kc1 and reflash everything.

look in the bible for kc1 deodexed rom and noobs guide to odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sethtyler21:
OO i prob should of mentioned it wont go back to recovery or dload mode for odin. the only thing i can think of is a jig
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Are you sure you are doing it right? If you can see the galaxy screen, it is not hard bricked. Look in the bible and look for the guide to get into download mode. There are a few ways
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sethtyler21:
as far as i can tell i am. never had a problem before getting into it. The bible was the first place i looked before posting. tried a few times but for the heck of it will try again:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
try rebooting the computer and changing the usb port the cable is attached to. reinstall the drivers as well. take out your battery, press both of the volume keys and plug in the cable to the phone. if nothing happens, then something isnt going right, but unless you were coming from gingerbread, then i dont think it is hard bricked. odin should be able to fix this problem
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sethtyler21:
wow thats odd.. i tried everything you said including the method for dload mode and it didnt work but then just cuz i tried the method i always use for dload mode by leaving the battery in, plug in usb cable, volume up n down + Power then release power after battery goes away and it worked. i guess in my frustration i wasnt doing something right even though ive done it 100 times and it took a while plus yalls help to get me goin..

Thanks button hit :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Nice! Phew, I was worried you actually hard bricked

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cufd440:
Does this mean voodoo lag fix will work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
we will have to ask supercurio to make a voodoo version for our phone BUT thats probably incorrect since drhonks bali kernel for vibrant has voodoo lagfix in it and drhonk is almost done putting all the features of vibrant bali for sgs4g bali....

meaning the next bali update might have it :D

wipe data and factory reset before you flash the ext4 converter

then right after you flash the converter flash the bionix rom and reboot

have everything like it was just now converted to ext4

you COULD say that OC is pointless now because its so f'ing smooth now, but truth is OC makes the graphics even 10x better then what they were without the ext4 and it makes the ext4 itself smoother

so now its up to you do you want extremely smooth....

SUPER DUPER RIDICULOUS SMOOTH ;)

Hey everyone,

I've been having issues with .android_secure. I am able to back up my system in CWM, but whenever I try to restore, it seems like it becomes stuck on this process: "Restoring.android_secure..."

I've been waiting for about 5 minutes now. Unsure if I should just go ahead and boot it back into recovery and load Bionix over again or an alternative method. What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
i was coming to say the same thing. maybe the mounts
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ttngu234:
I don't think it has anything to do with the mounts. A lot of people seem to have an issue with this one file. I checked my mounts prior to restoring and they were correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] silverspoon80:
downloading and reserved for tomorrow.

*high fiv3s sexton*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
if your stuck on screen its because you didnt flash the rom correctly, and i too have that restore problem with .androidsecure

i havent exactly figured it out yet :/

This is truly awesome. I am blown away with this mod. And our little phone that could is turning into a true beast!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
I've tried everything. Nothing works I cant get this patch to change my phone. None of my restores or roms will work. I've tried just using the flashable deodexed KD1 with the 2.1 kernel but it wont get past the galaxy s 4g exclusively from tmobile screen.

EDIT: Working for me now! Over 2k quadrant scores! Still only like 21'ish linpack scores. If I ext4 my sd card will it be even faster or no since our FS is ext4 now?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] slapshotx2002:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Works like a charm. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Liquid Smoke:
Same problem here, it just froze there and I just held the power button to reboot it and it seemed like everything restored correct (not using a ROM, just backed up my current stock, and yea i do have bali 2.1 flashed already and backed up with it too).

then i just tried restoring again and left it overnight to wake up and still see it hanging on the .android.secure part, so i just rebooted manually and it seemed to restore fine but the main launcher keeps force closing and its getting real annoying, barely able to do anything the home screen keeps lagging and fc'ing.

hoping someone can find a solution for this soon

also, about checking mounts, what am i supposed to check? is it all supposed to be mounted or unmounted when i'm restoring a backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adambowersva:
After ext-4 upgrade and my continued running of fugu tweaks with 1.5OC scores between 3 separate Quadrant tests ranged from 2107-2348 =)...SMOKING!!!! Previous scores with same overclock pre ext-4 were in the 1200 range!!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perknite:
Wow. I'm speechless. Great job and much thanks!

Just fyi, I did a nandroid, tested the backup, flashed mod, restored, waited about 15 min before tinkering. Everything works great and very smooth!

Besides... What's linux without ext4!?!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
The /.android_secure is being caused by our little cwm/Rom manager issue. Only way to get rid of it is to odin and start the recovery process over. I completely removed Rom manager for now.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WP4WP4:
I had the same problem 3 times last night trying to restore my back up with the . android_secure problem. This is what I did: when you get stuck with the android_secure screen, reboot the phone reinstall packages, go to Mounts and storage and make sure that your mounting setup are correct;

UNMOUNT CACHE

UNMOUNT DATA

MOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

go back and install zip from sdcard. I selected Bali_SGS4G_v2.1uv.zip flashed and went back and flashed on top Bionix_Frost_ SGS4G then reboot my phone waited 10 minutes and the phone is back to life, and for my sorprise, it restored my backup!

What happens if you reboot before flashing or recovering?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Flash a backup... always make a backup
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
So when this mod is done is it always going to be ext4 or what?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
everytime you flash a new rom or do a restore if you want ext4 you will have to flash the ext4 converter again before the restore or flash
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
if you reboot before flashing or restore you will probably get a soft brick,

AND if you dont flash the rom correctly or use the proper CWM you will also get a soft brick
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
Thanks! How come this wasn't able to be done before? Seems a lil too easy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
it is easy,

it couldnt have been done before drhonks ext4 patch in his kernel

anyone could have found this, im just constantly researching new things for our phone and decided "why not try it out, i mean if it works the community will love it" ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] recepo1:
Thanks dsexton appreciate all the new things your doing with the phone , but has any else experienced a problem when u shut off the phone and try to charge it the battery seems to be stuck and doesnt charge and have the green progressive meter in it? seems like the charge is stuck even after unplugging the charger
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i dont seem to have that charging problem, maybe you need to reinstall the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] recepo1:
Yeah i think youre right everything else works perfectly flew my quadrant scores up a lot thanks phone is really fast thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Liquid Smoke:
just tried this and stuck on the Restoring .android_secure part again, am i doing something wrong? im using CWM 3.2

- im on the stock rom with the bali 2.1 already flashed, and i backed all that up

- i flashed the ext4 zip and then tried restoring, when it got stuck at the .android_secure part i just held down the power button and rebooted into the samsung boot, picked reinstall packages to go back into CWM recovery, and then i matched up the mount menu to the way you listed it and then flashed the bali 2.1 again and then tried restoring the backup again and got stuck at the same spot

am i doing anything wrong? when you say the mounts should be:

UNMOUNT Cache

UNMOUNT Data

etc

do you mean the menu should display it that way? or does it mean to actually unmount those (so should it says mount cache, mount data, etc. instead?)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
anything to make this phone TOP NOTCH ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
its not the ext4 thats making you unable to restore its ROM MANAGER that you might have previously installed

its messing up everyones back up and restore including mine!

as for the mounts when it says UNMOUNT it really means that its mounted which is why we tell you guys to make sure that it says UNMOUNT
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] t213:
Trying this on my phone right now!

This might be a stupid question but do you leave the phone on the cwm screen for 10-20 min or do you boot the phone back up and leave it for 10-20 min?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
when you reboot the system for the first time just give it 5 to 10 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
It's always a good idea when flashing just about anything to let it sit for a few minutes. This builds your cache, as well as letting all of the scripts to run and basically lets your system settle in (end result is smoother operation, no or less fc's, etc...)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Liquid Smoke:
so does that mean the backup is also messed up? or is just in the restoring process? its the only backup i have so just want to make sure its not corrupted or something, can i use something else to restore from the same backup that CWM made?

also, how would i just reverse all this (take away the ext4 and go back to my backup the way it was?) if i flash a new ROM and then flash my backup over that would that work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
im almost positive that you must use the ext4 converter every time you want ext4 file system so simply just restore instead using the ext4zip

and if you cant restore because of .android secure

you might get stuck on backing up at .android secure
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] t213:
Will do from now on. Still waiting for a few more minutes!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
you will be blown away by performance ;D

Ok, I need some advice on EXT4 here. I've followed the instructions to the letter, ensuring mounts and everything are ok....but I'm still getting sporadic lag in the ROM itself. It's the 0.4 Trigger rom, with the Bali 2.1 kernel.

I followed the instructions for flashing ext4 but it still wants to lag and it's been over 20 minutes. Anyone got any suggestions?
