I tested it on 3 older builds of my own rom without a single FC. Unless something in his rom is overwriting the fsck that is supposed to be run every boot, nothing should be damaged.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] itsonlym3:
since we're into cut throat ROMs, i wonder if any of this would be of interest and/or useful?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
I just ran the script. No difference in antutu score but ROM is very snappy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitrox1:
Me too, using homebase orange, booted once, then started with superuser fc' ing, then next boot up, everything fc'ed.

I'm also using faux 1.0ghz 0.2.0 kernel.

Nandroid restored fine from CWM 5.

(oh dear, while typing, just realized, should I be using romracer?)

Yes aren't you supposed to have it on your external sd card? I'm using ROM racers cwm and it installed fine
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitrox1:
Doh! it just says: put on sdcard, flash with cwm

Ok, I'll try again tomorrow, just got home a couple of hours ago, and have to be up for work in a few hours, brain can't handle it. Thank goodness for nandroid s.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
I had the same issue with the 1.2.1.0 build. I restored my apps via TiBu and after I did reboot....everything FC'd and kept FC'ing. I think it might be where the apps were prior to ext4 partitioning. I haven't tried yet but now that I reinstalle all my apps with Aura 1.2.1.1, I might load up HB, then restore with TiBu and see if the FC's pop up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andy_Thatcher:
Wiped the phone. Ran the script and installed a backup.

Have checked and everything claims to be Ext4.

Haven't had a fc as yet. Not as fast as Aura 1.2.1.1 on CF Benchmark.

Still running Homebase though as to me it feels slightly more responsive and have to say love the theme.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GTTG_Atomik:
This is one of the first times something totally doesn't make sense to me. I've seen some threads claiming EXT4 on HB and now I see it doesn't really work with the script. Now there are people claiming they are on EXT4. I've flashed the EXT4 script then installed from scratch HB3.4 with 5.4B update. Does this mean I'm in EXT4? From my understanding, flashing an EXT3 just outs it right back to EXT3 anyway. Can someone enlighten me please. Much appreciated!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Funny, since 1.2.1.1 is actually slower than 1.2.1.0 and 1.2.1.2 due to the journaling being enabled.

The user conversion script is something you flash AFTER you install the rom. It won't matter much once Darkside and HB incorporate my dev conversion script into their roms.

But yes, with my conversion scripts true ext4 is a real thing now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] supermerkin:
My calender Is the only thing fc ing...?

I'm on the 5.0 9/28 update to 6.0.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Holy Sh*t Ext4 is no placebo! This time must be right!

Hit 4,400 on Quadrant Advanced with I/O score of 8,000, 5,700 on AnTuTu (Despite having a slow Class 4 card) with I/O of 450 (stock was 300 - 330). Got 4,300 CPU and 3,000 GPU in Smartbench 2011!

Phone boots SO quickly and Rom feels SO snappy, responsive, smooth and FAST.

Btw, for those wondering, I installed script off SD card from Romracers CWM.

EDIT: If those benchmarks weren't enough, I think they will only increase in the long run once Ext4 has properly settled. I think we can look forward to some meaty scores.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
I agree, it's definitely no placebo! Definitely a quicker experience, although since I'm running the enhanced stock kernel my scores are no where near as high unfortunately. I may do yet another wipe tomorrow and let the 1.3ghz overclock on for a while just to test out my scores. Night all, happy flashing!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
You are welcome.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Oh wow. OK. I went to wipe my cache before going to bed and holy crap. That must be part of what's causing all these force closes I've been hearing about. Phone rebooted fine, turned off and on fine, but if you wipe the cache BAM causes a flood of FC's. Dunno why.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Depending on how you wiped your cache (which isnt really needed too much on ext4), it probably reset it back to ext3 which is messing things up.

Or your file containing all the UID's for every app got corrupted somehow, which may be able to be repaired by using adb.

adb shell fix-permissions

should help if it is the second thing. It hasn't happened to me, so I am not 100% certain though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Earthdog:
Removed Apps from Orange 1.1

[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
Hi guys, just got from the road and found EXT4 is Up as well as an Update (Chro 6-1)

Questions:

1) I am on Base 4 Update 5.6D.. can I just Update to 6.1D and stay in EXT3?

2) If I convert to EXT4, I understand I have Backup, Wipe, run the converter and restore... but

3) Sean says that in order to return to EXT3 (should I wanted to do so) I have to restore a EXT3 backup... so 2) is pointless... or run a EXT3 Converter- (where do I find one?)

Thanks Sean or anyone who can answer.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I'm running MB 4.0 Version 5 with Update 6.1D, Faux123's Kernel 0.2.0 Stock Enhanced and Diviance's EXT4 script and I'm getting about 3450 in Quadrant. I don't care about benchmarks as they're synthetic and don't reflect real world performance accurately but man. After changing to EXT4 this thing flies. My phone startsup and shutsdown faster and everything feel smooth as butter.

Thanks for all the hard work seanz and Diviance. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
You can run the converter over an existing install, no need to do a backup and wipe. If you install an ext3 rom, it will convert you back to ext3. Some phones require you to use an ext3 converter, however ours is not one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
Ok, I figured out from Deviance´s thread.

I flashed 6.1 and then converted. The thing is running fine except I dont get satisfactory figures on Quadrant. Might have to let it settle for a while or start from wipe over the w/e.

will see

Cheers.

I'm charging my phone right now, once it's charged I'll flash HB 4.2 and tell you how it goes, post scores, get screen shots of the new theme, ect.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andy_Thatcher:
I am thinking of 4.2 then 5.4C to get the Blur.

Not sure about the flash though as the last couple seemed to mess up the Blur account.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Running Home Base 4.2 now with faux's Stock Enhanced Kernel and got 3483 in Quadrant, if you're running the OC 1.3 GHz kernel your scores will be much higher. I can't save the build.prop in Propeditor "failed to remount system rw", probably a permissions issue though other than that no problems so far, everything's smooth and snappy. I attached a SS on my Quadrant scores and of the new Blue-Chronic theme if anyone wants to see what they look like.

Hi Seanzscreams,

I found that the HB Blue. 6.1 have some tweaks for enabling SMS Delivery Report as I saw in a system file locates at /system/etc/motorola/com.android.provider.settings/settings.mkitso, but in fact, it doesn't work. Could you check and find out solution for this bug?

Edit: I have used the CM7 rom and had a big impression on its Camera app, it gives very high quality pictures. I tried to copy that Camera.apk into /system/app in your HB rom (that I'm using now), but caused FC upon launching. So could you port it to your rom? Many thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
For those of you who are trying to apply themes and find they don't apply here's how to fix that.

Open the .zip file, navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android\, and open the updater-script. Everytime you see "ext3" change it to "ext4", save the file, and make sure the updated file is in the archive. You can then flash the theme in CWM and have it apply.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
been using homebase orange version and been reading along the thread regularly... I like this quite a bit... great job sean ...

Now I have a few questions... firstly im a bit confused about the whole ext3 ext4 thing... it seemed as if before the ext4 wasn't really ext4... and now it is...?? Does that mean I should do a clean wipe install of the new orange ext4 base and update 2.7...??

Also I understand this is deblurred... but I previously mentioned I couldn't sync my facebook contacts to get their pics and I was told it will be worked on to work... whenever I try to go to add accounts it fc's ... also when going to the social network app the same thing happens... now I dont want to add all the blur junk back on... just want these basics to work...

Also for some reason winamp keeps fc ing on this as does power amp... cart get why...

Other than this something I noticed was when I tried to put on faux 0.2.0 1ghz kernel I kept having the problem loading widgets problem even after trying to fix permissions etc... but when I put 1.3ghz back on the problem was fixed... again I dont really want to use 1.3 due to battery saving... I know I can set it to >101 battery to keep it settled but would prefer more divisions within 1ghz...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
OK, a few things for Div and Sean to ponder. I've tested this numerous times, mostly with the same results. So I'm not sure if the problem lies in the conversion method (posted by Div on his site, the one for users) or in Homebase, or in Faux's kernel. I do a fresh install of homebase Blue Chronic after doing a full fastboot wipe and go through all proper steps and let it boot up. Let it sit for a few. Then reboot into recovery (using latest version of RomRacers), and apply the latest update, which as of last night at around 9 was 6.1 I think. After update, let phone boot up as normal. At this point everything is fine and dandy, working properly. Now if I reboot into recovery and apply the EXT-4 conversion (user version), everything goes through as normal, let it boot up and all, everythings great. However upon physically turning the phone OFF, and then turning it back on, I had no status bar all of a suddden. It was just gone. Also experienced several force closes, along with Launcher Pro NOT working but the stock launcher, TwLauncher that came WITH Homebase, does work. Messaging still works but Rom Manager for example force closes. This is without wiping cache, just turning phone all the way off and then turning it back on. So somewhere along the line, things are going goofy. As I said, I do all proper steps when wiping and installing. I really wanna stick with this combo (Homebase + EXT-4) but it doesn't seem to be playing nicely together :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rknight68:
Did you run finalized after the update but before the reboot?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seanzscreams:
Orange worked perfect I was able to power down many times.

Which leads me to believe its theme related .. So I struck.everything.ext4 until I wake up..

Feel free to help test orange . See if it has the title bar dis appear. on reboots Also

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
I dont think you have to run finalizer after applying 6.1 since updates finalize themselves. Please correct me if i am wrong

Is the link to blue chronic 4.2 the right one? The file still says mega4 and not mega4.2 in the download link.

Edit: Never mind. Seems like there's problems with the new builds.

Sent using my Home Base Atrix 4G.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
Hi! I'm in Aura now, but seems HB get higher scores and better battery life. I just Calibrate the battery and its a little better, but i had much better battery life on HB. On my cappy times people told that ext4 consumes more battery. I know some guys here also are going back and forth, did you experiment better battery and performance on HB too? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Homebase gives ungodly battery life. But there is a problem when flashing the update. The base build of Blue Chronic itself does fine, but if you flash the update it goes wonky. People on Aura are experiencing these force closes as well however, so....meh. Dunno. Yes Homebase test scores after testing are a bit higher, I did some tests with the latest build of Aura and was surprised that they were a bit low. But the experience with the phone is very fast and snappy, so....we all know that test scores aren't everything :D

Edit: I'm going to stick with Aura for the entire day. Flashed the enhanced stock kernel from faux and will compare it's battery life with Homebase, cause I run enhanced stock with that as well. Hopefully all these force close snags will be a thing of the past soon. Thanks Div and Sean both, and all the other devs that have contributed to getting us where we are.

Sean, I'm currently running Nottach's DarkSide Rom and the theme is just AWESOME! The Black and red theme provided in first post seems to be outdated as it now looks amazing.

Will it be possible for you to port the newer version as a 4.5.2a theme?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Thinking of flashing the Ext4 Orange Base. Seeing how it's not 'crossed out' anymore, is it safe to install now? Also, does it have journaling or not?

EDIT: Is it also safe to flash a theme without editing anything?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seanzscreams:
At this point ext 4 is all an experiment . That's why theres both.

I tried orange extensively all morning powered down charging with the update installed..

I havent edited the scripts . So if your ext4 make sure after any theme flash to clear caches your self

And since the script wipes ext3 partitions in the ext4 base

Before install factory data reset

Yourself

Darkside theme hmm I can look into it

. I'm pretty much done with samples FINNALLLLY

So maybe I can squeeze in a few more things tonight

Hi seanzscreams,

Tried your HB#2 base 1.2 + update 5.4 + Honey atrix theme, but I think Faux's 1.0Ghz Enhanced stock kernel didn't stable in this ROM, it was often reset when I watch youtube in browser for several time. I tried another kernel, it runs more stable.

notification bar got stuck open and would not close

just wierd stuff.

blue chronic w 6.1 update - no ext4 added

fixer ran before boot after the update (appied after a reboot and 15 minute "settle in"

if you install the

ext 4 version of blue chronic

Factory data reset

install base then reboot

dont install any apps

reboot to cwm and install ext4 specific update

reboot

now when restoring apps from titanium... do not (DO NOT) RESTORE APP DATA. THE ID INFORMATION GETS THROWN OFF AND FCS LIKE A MOFO

i did everything install the update and base

but purposely waited to do the apps

and shutdowns worked great

then as soon as i restored apps and data and then rebooted

bam

fc party
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Are the FC's due to apps being installed on an EXT3 file system and being restored on an EXT4 file system or something else? In the future will we be able to restore app data as well?

If you download Mega Base 4 it's EXT3 and you can flash Diviances User EXT4 script though it's best to start clean and install Mega Base 4.2 which comes with EXT4 already. If I were you I'd keep what you have now and wait for Diviance and seanz to get EXT4 working perfectly.

I attempted 4.2 with the 6.2 update and had all sorts of fc issues. Note: I didn't read directions so errors were probably caused by me.

So I tried Aura for the first time but missed a few things I use alot but little things. So I came back and went back to the blurred rom with the faux enhanced 1.0 ghz kernel. (1.3)

Must say so far nice stable rom as seans 3.2 deblurred was. Battery seems solid. Quadrant seems to be right at 3100. I did install the 5.4 update with no issues.

Did the update deblur anything? Ill read the changelog as well

Why did Sean choose the 1.0 versus 1.3 oc update on this rom? Im assuming just choice. But it seems good.

When loading 5.4C as an update all good until I load the Blue Chronic theme then lost the notification bar.
