Id like to say thanks to Mike for this ROM. Never had a android before, always been an Apple fanboy lol.

4 weeks after having the phone, rooted, radio changed and this ROM installed and its superb, zero issues at all and all went smoothly except for updating the radio, the guide wasnt that clear when it came to flashing the radio.

Will donate soon.

Oh, and i got hotmail exchange activesync working on this as well, account set up fine but with refreshing issues, which ive read about, changed the "days to sync" from the default 3 days to 1 days and its been perfect just to let you know.

Phil.
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
They are very similar kernels. You can use the one that you feel better with. Actually 1.2.5 kernel is very good kernel and I don't see any particular reason why to change it ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Thanks and welcome :) Another happy user on board :D

Ok but ext4 brings more disvantages then advantages in a phone memory.Ext4 is faster with big files but in a phone this is no useful.

report from cda thread about filesystem discussion:

EXT2: Very basic filesystem when it comes down to it -- think of it as a Unix filesystem you could place inbetween the likes of FAT32 and NTFS. I would nearly argue that this is the modern equivalent of FAT32 (which really really needs to die). We really shouldn't be using FAT32 but lack of native windows compatibility stops EXT2 from being a candidate for this usage.

EXT2 is highly recommended for your flash card. It won't over stress it and there aren't many alternatives that are better these days unless you're dealing with raw flash, which you'd then use something like YAFFS2 or JFFS2. The flash in compact flash cards is not raw flash.

EXT3: Picture EXT2 with a journal. It is backwards compatible with EXT2 (just doesn't read the journal).

A journal is NOT recommended for flash devices. (At least when the filesystem was not designed for raw flash and isn't tuned properly like YAFFS2 and JFFS2). Do you really want your phone to write all the metadata to the journal first and then to the filesystem? That's a ton of unnecessary I/O. If it has full journaling enabled you're writing all your data twice. This is not a good idea for your phone. This is one reason why NTFS has not become a standard for flash devices: Journals on flash are bad unless it's designed for flash from the ground up.

EXT4: same as EXT3 but is a copy-on-write FS with delayed allocation (holds data in memory longer before writing to disk to be more efficient / prevent fragmentation), increased number of files and size of files (more than a phone ever could need in our lifetime), etc. Some improvements across the board but not backwards compatible with EXT3 anymore if you're using the delayed allocation. Most likely to eat more memory on your phone.

This is completely unnecessary for a phone and really does not fit your needs. I don't understand why anyone would attempt to use this unless they simply thought "4 is bigger than 2 or 3 so it must be better!"
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Android Gingerbread 2.3 is using EXT4 by default so I believe that Google know what it's doing ;) You don't have to believe me and you don't have to flash my ROM. I did what I did and everyone are happy and confirm that overall speed of the device has increased. There are plenty EXT3 ROM on this forum mate. I feel that for Android EXT4 is better then EXT3 and I will stick with it.
[Desire HD Android Development] PDub11:
And now ive just noticed its been updated. lol.

Just to clarify, to update i just run through the "how to flash"? Do i need to "format data"?

Thanks again.
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:

Because I can see the "News Widget" application in the Android application. The name isn't localised.

In the mean time, the "News" application is localized as it is "Actualité" in french.

So I though that might be a localisation problem.

I'll do a full wipe and let you know if this works :)

Hi mike,

First of all thank you for creating such a wonderful ROM.

However i have a question. If I would upgrade your ROM in future, and by using the easy upgrade wipe zip, will my data, apps from market, my home customizations/widgets/icons etc still in place after the upgrade? :p

Thanks again!

@ mike1986:

Very nice ROM you have there, its fast and stable, i like it!

Just a small question: I did a full wipe (boot, data, system, cache) but still, after booting, my 802.1x wifi password off my university was stored on the device. How the hell is that possible? I dont think that passwords are stored on the SD card ;). Maybe it has something to do with the dalvik cache?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
This is interesting. Can you make an experiment and use this new wiping tool? And see if the password is gone.

[Desire HD Android Development] bur2000:
I know it says that... :D

But in regard to Ext3/4, will the data partition still be converted to Ext4 if I don't wipe it?

On the other hand, I read that if an Ext4 driver accesses an Ext3 partition most Ext4 features can be used anyway. So maybe there's no need for an Ext3 data partition at all?

I guess what I'd like to know is:

What happens to DATA's filesystem if I wipe it?

What happens to DATA's filesystem if I don't wipe it?

Does it matter if DATA is Ext3 or 4?

Anyone? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
No, I wouldn't say so. Check with some app manager how many apps you have running in the background. Some of them may be cause of that.
[Desire HD Android Development] Limerick_fr:
Of course we can not all give him what we would like.

So in order to thank mike as much as we would like to, why not performing the "Thanks Week".

I was wondering if others Android Revolution users have this problem too, because this is all hardcoded by HTC, which is hard to fix it by the chefs, right?

I'm really new into this Android-thingy, but I'm trying to understand & to learn :)

ondemand is better or smartass in battery drainage and performance?
[Desire HD Android Development] coolacrille:
It seems quite common to do this. Why do they do it? Well, because titanium backup is often mentioned among users as a great app to have available in case anything should happen(ie you need to do factory restore etc.). What users in general do not understand is that if you do a full wipe, the whole reason for the full wipe is to - surprise - WIPE data.´Then they restore everything with TB and all goes to hell...

I would like to use the same post to say great ROM again Mike...You are the man!
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
I've been doing some reading up on this, thought I'd share what I found for anyone else interested.

As far as I can tell, if we install 2.0.13 without wiping data, the ext3 /data partition is mounted as ext4 and gains many of the new ext4 performance enhancements. However it isn't converted to full ext4, as the disk structure isn't changed, and it can be mounted as ext3 again simply by flashing 2.0.12 or any older version.

And yes, I've tested this and it works fine. ;) I flashed ARHD 2.0.12 over 2.0.13 and could still see all my apps and data (I used CWM 3.0.0.6).

I'm not sure what happens if we do a full wipe. I noticed the updater-script includes commands to format boot, system and cache as ext3. I don't know if this means these are also ext3 partitions that are mounted as ext4 to take advantage of the performance enchancements, or if they are true ext4 filesystems.

I'm not an expert on linux, but I'm sure there are people reading this who will correct anything I've got wrong. ;) :cool:

Oh and this is a great update, Mike. Quite the big surprise to see ext4 support, but it was a nice surprise! :D And a great move, I think, especially with ROM Manager nagging us all to upgrade to CWM3. This ROM is so fast already that it's hard to judge whether it's gotten even faster, but it feels really nice and smooth to use. Thanks once again for all your hard work, and Apache and the testing team. :)
