EXT4 Int/Ext sdcard

I have some questions to diz and another devs.

I´m using BOCA RC1

I just formated my external sd card to ext4, when i put in the tab the system recognize the sdcard, also in storage manager show total and free space.

Everything is ok.

But my questions are the following:

1-Can i format the internal sdcard as ext4?

2-How i can format the int. sdcard as ext4, mounting in windows using usb cable and formating using partition manager should work?

3-Does the system will recognize and mount correctly the int. sdcard as ext4?

4-The apps will work correctly using the int. sdcard as ext4?

5-This will make the sdcard faster in secuential/random read speed?

6-Does the both sdcard´s will mount correctly as ext4 in USB?

Thanks in Advance.

My Wifi has a password with more than 8 chars and BOCA has no problems. Generally I haven't encountered anything that didn't work with BOCA that I need in everyday life. Camera even works at 160 dpi without problem, which wasn't the case with any Samsung based ROM.

Transfer the Boca install package to your external SD card

Then Flash this kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341344

The thread says it doesn't convert, but it actually does.

Flash the kernel then then boot into cwm and it should backing up and converting the partition.

Once that is done boot back into download mode, extract the kernel from Boca rc1 onto your PC and flash it.

Once it has flashed boot into cwm and flash the Boca install package from your external sdcard.

This is how I did it after a bit of trial and error and it did work.

About SD Card pictures deletion

I is really weird and scarry. Hopefully it happens only with pictures...

I put a few more on my Sd and have been watching since. They are going away bit by bit. Haven't checked exactly at which occasion but day by day I have leas in my SD card folders. Yuk

That is really f@$%ed up... Hopefully CS won't have this problem (An let's hope we will have a fast fully operational ICS within one or two months before I completely fill the main memory of my Tab)

Try a free market app called rescan media root.

And to recover deleted photos I have found that they can still be there in the cache sub folder, if you have viewed them in the tab. Just rename them to JPG files and of you have duplicate photos only keep the one with biggest file size.

Diz,

Firstly, thanks for all your efforts on this rom :)

Biggest step forward for me is not being booted out of the settings menu in apps and storage. Google music is also working for me (even after reboots) although I did have to swap it out for version 4.0.9.

Not sure if it helps but I thought I read on the CM9 thread that disconne3t had a fix for the recent apps button - maybe it can be incorporated in next release?

Keep up the great work - ICS is super smooth on SGT. Take that Samsung ;)

Guys, any idea why Aluminum Theme won't work on RC1? It did on all previous versions. Anything I can check?

Theme error: This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author.

Dev's answer wasn't inspiring:

I am unfamiliar with that ROM. Unfortunately I cannot develop my themes based on individual ROMs or handsets. All I can recommend is to use them with HDPI devices on official CM7 ROMs.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Lilien:
The manufacturer setting is 240 dpi , but physically the display density value is about 170 dpi.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Reb0rn:
Originally its 240 but that makes everything look like you have a phone for blind and mentally disabled persons...

160 is perfect both from market stand and functionallity. But it only works on some roms, usually not stock rom...

Boca RC1 works perfect for me on 160 and gives you clear and crisp screen, while keeping your market happy...

(Market doesnt like too much change on the dpi ... at least the new market ... 240 Ok and 160 Ok , everything around will make some apps not install or not be found in market...)

This ROM seems to be having slight problems displaying dates correctly for some apps (unless there's some kind of setting that I'm missing). Here are two examples that I've noticed so far showing the differences between my phone (the first two pics) and this ROM (last two pics). The forum resized my screenshots so it might be a little harder to see, but basically, instead of displaying the day of the week and the month, this ROM displays the numerical day of the week and the numerical month.

Example: "Sat Jan 07" becomes "7 1 07"

Hmmm ... AFAIK the native (hardware) resolution of the TAB is 182 dpi, so anything above or under will be somehow 'software-generated'... Besides on most ROM's below 182 dpi, you'll lose the camera as well. Market et all working great on the 182 dpi settings, no problems whatsoever...

Screen Dim/Off/On

I'm still fighting with button back lights and landscape mode.

It seems AOSP based ROMs runs something when dimming the LCD and when turning it back on, that overrides all current brightness and orientation settings.

1st I'm using Button Backlight Widget and AdjBrightness. They both seem to work... till LCD times out. When turning it back on (with or without lock screen enabled) the LCD brightness AND button backlight brightness are reset. That means it I have to click my widget again, or open AdjBrightness again to go back to what I set up.

The sad thing is that this behavior even screws up it's own AOSP/CM settings, in custom brightness levels. As I setup, button backlights should never be on, always set to 0. If AOSP brightness changes during use, some times (and sometimes not) the correct 0 value is applied and button lights go off. But it all gets reset after turning LCD off and on again. LCD brightness should not mess with button backlight!

Anyways... another broken thing in the brightness settings is that 1 or 255 won't make a diference, it's always FULL button backlight brightness. But you try changing it from the command line like below, there are several levels that you can use... being 1 the lowest one before completely turning button lights off.

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

I even tried removing all permissions and changing owner of this file, but the ROM somehow changes it anyways!

So, bare with me... during the day, you can already see the physical buttons... cause you have day light (or any light), so why keep those damn button backlights on at maximum strength?

Then at night, or in dark places, you just need the least possible button backlight brightness to find your buttons, cause it's dark!

This whole button backlight thing is driving me crazy since CM7 started playing with button backlights for notifications.

What ticked me off was when I installed a new app called Rotation Locker, which would be great for tablet users. It can lock landscape so apps that never go to landscape will be forced too... like some of the apps inside ROM Toolbox... you are working with ROM Toolbox in landscape, but when you open the build.prop tweaks, it's basically another app that switches to portrait. With Rotation Locker you can force it to stay landscape. Very nice!

But then again, I noticed that every LCD dim/off/on those configs are thrown away and we have to re-run the Rotation Locker.

So here is the question: Any ideas on what might causing this? Anyway to disable this enforcing of Android reconfigs everytime you turn your screen on? Might it be the a ROM's locker app that is causing this? Anyway to uninstall it? I don't really use lockscreens.

These 3 programs work like they should in the Samsung Gingerbread, not in any AOSP that I tried.

Sorry for the long cry post!
