ext3 and ext4

hi guys. if this kernel supported ext3 or ext4?:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
Yup, it supported.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xp7:
how?i do partitioned my memory card ext3 but any app installed in internal memory.What should I do?:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dotsen9:
Try the other one(that has 68kb),if it's still the same then...bad luck:p,and only if you're on stock kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xp7:
what?please help me.:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] GreatApo:
It is based to your cpu. My phone can't even reach 700mhz...

This kernel will make x8 faster? based to the stock one?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dotsen9:

What kernel do you using?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
windows 7 x64 driver

I found an app that I though could mount USB drive so I installed and tried it but nothing happened. it's Q5 memory manager and can be found here:

http://rumah-android.com/read-your-flashdisk-into-android-deviceusb-on-the-go.html

and here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269535&page=2

then I tried to do logcat but I'm total noob with linux so I don't know if I did it right.

I first wrote this in terminal emulator:

su

logcat -c

logcat > test.txt

then I plugged in USB drive and unplugged it, same with second USB drive, and then Hard drive with it's own power.

then I exit terminal emulator.

after that I wrote this in terminal emulator

su

logcat -c

then I repeated plugging and unplugging drives same way as before

and then wrote in terminal:

logcat -d > test2.txt

I did this once again just with test3.txt instead of test2.txt

I did this like this because I don't know how exactly logcat works

files are attached to this post

I also noticed that I can't mount sd card to PC. I did vold update after flashing kernel and I didn't try to mount it before I did all this

I hope this can help somehow

[q] Any1 noticed in CWM:

- using adb push speed is over 3000kb/s

Why so much difference?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
@kulen

are you using GingerDX ROM?

i had this issue on GC8.1 ROM

so what i did to fix:

1- full wipe "factory reset"

2- flash kernel

3- install the Rom

4- update the vold

5-full wipe again

6-restart

everything went well after

only can't mount USB on CWM recovery
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
Thanks for answer

Yes I use GDX 19. I just flashed Alfs over linuxDX v004. Wiped cache and dalvik cache but not full wipe.

thats why I' m not worried about this. Everything else seems to work and I don' t have time to restore everything until weekend.

what does mount USB in CWM mount and to what? Sd card to PC?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
v03 bug:

usb mount from CWM not working at all (GCR81)

v01 and 02 has CMWv5 - works all ok

v03 have CWMv4 and error:

Edit: looks like it it already reported :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
@ alfsamsung:

can you add support for ext2\3\4?

your kernel don't support this and i think it's very important..

i try this but i win a format in my sd card, i lost everything:( it's just my opinion, i think your kernel only need this..your kernel it's the best for me, for sure.

sorry my bad english..wheel in the air
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
@akaSk8krew It's in the kernel.I use ext2 and don't have any problems.I think maybe you did something wrong.I have not tested this guide
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
then why my apps dont appear and when i go to install one of them, it asks me if i want to replace? i don't know why, and anybody answer me..i'm not the only with this problem..SOMETIMES when i flash again the gingerDx, my ext3 is recognized, but if i enable swap my apps disappear, i don't know why..

sorry my bad english
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
How did you enable swap?script?app? Perhaps you are unmounting the ext3 partition when you enable swap?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
i try swapper and swapper 2 and nothing, my apps disappear..with swapper i try also a partition, and nothing..i try a file swap.swp in my fat32 and in my ext3 and nothing, my apps disappear..and sometimes when i flash gingerDx, i boot the phone, my ext3 is recognized, and if i boot again the phone, my ext3 don't is recognized..strange:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Check in options that you have CHECKED "app moving" to allow move apps to SD.

Looks like you have not cleared your EXT partition when you reinstall rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
i see now, this option in my phone are unchecked, i put check now..it's the problem?

when i flash any rom, i FULL WIPE DEVICE:) ext, data, everything, after and before install any rom..sorry m bad english

GC8.2 on alfs kernel fast report

just wanted to let you know that last GC8.2 Rom works well on this kernel same as GC8.1 maybe little bit faster idk maybe cuz i didn't install the full apps that i had on GC8.1 yet.

anyway check my post on GC thread to know the latest changes on the Rom and post your questions and i will answer

do you mean that apps2sd doesn't work when using swap partition?

I noticed your problem only using the v04_test kernel.

Now I have v03 + GDX019 + tethering patch and swapfile (swapper2) placed on sdext, and everything works (including apps2sd).

When I make skype call.

It worked fine with linuxDX v004.

I didn' t do full wipe after flashing kernel so I hoped it will be OK when I do. Now I' m not so sure...

I have 3 partitions FAT32, EXT3, SWAP. they are all detected except in cwm. Native Apps to sd work. Swap works. USB storage from ROM works and if I open it up with minitool, all partitions are there . Apps2sd doesn't work.

As soon as I load a different kernel apps2sd starts working again.

It really got me headscratching.

GDX is just a rom, not kernel.

So it doesn't mean unlocked bootloader.

You Need to copy modules from the rom zip to system/lib/modules.

Modules need to copy:

Request: I want to know how to create a kernal and a loader, or change the loader picture. Ignore this if u are busy :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xdelapan:
After flashing this kernel my problem here is :

1. there is no native app2sd. my widgets and application was missing.

2. can't mount sdcard on PC, but after i install the vold update and clear chache again it's ok now.

how i can get the app2sd back again, i used 16GB sandisk, FAT32, EXT2, and SWAP with minitool partition wizard. thanks in advance:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
Guys you may try this if you are having issue in sd-ext using alfs kernel.

As far as I can remember, this is what I did. Backup before doing this.

From gdx019/linuxdx, I moved back dalvik-cache to internal memory, retaining only the user apps in sd-ext (can be done by removing the file 10apps2sd in /system/lib/modules then reboot to cwm, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot).

Afterwards, you can see that only your user apps are in sd-ext now and you only have 3 folders inside /sd-ext partition instead of 5 as last time coz your dalvik cache is in internal memory now.

Then you can flash Alfs kernel which retains user apps in sd-ext.

Personally, I felt phone is faster when dalvik cache is in internal memory that's why I don't put it in sd-ext. User apps is ok in sd-ext though.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
If you want to flash any KERNEL you need unlock your bootloader.

ROM have nothing to it, to install any ROM you just need root and recovery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wend0:
