[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ludacris:
you should try to distinguish between Windows 7 (The PC OS) and Windows Phone 7.

Anyway, you cant install either one of theese, as you can not run x86 or x64 OS on an ARM CPU (Which would suck anyway) and Windows Phone 7 will never be able to be ported to anything below the Phone 7 series but the HD2, whereas it will be more or less running in an emulator, so its not 100% legit anyway

Hello Community!

First off, the original thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=851407

I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. I have seen many requests for converting all partitions to EXT2 as it is faster than EXT4. So far the only way to do this is with Z4 modded kernels. Well Hardcore over in the i9000 forums (<3 their development section) posted a method a achieve the next best thing - EXT4 with no journaling! I have yet to test this out, but I will be doing so tonight and posting results. I plan on trying this with ULF (which has been confirmed to work) and ttabbal's all EXT4 Dragon Rom (TW Beta Section). The process just simply removes journaling from EXT4 partitions, so it's as fast or faster than EXT2 but with all the added benefits of being EXT4.

Thought some people might find this useful... enjoy! :)

Update - I can confirm this works with ULF. I was able to remove journaling from all three partitions no problem following the instructions below. I had no data loss or FC's upon reboot. Below are Hardcore's instructions from the original thread - link posted at the top. I in no way helped in this, just merely sharing what I found. All props go to Hardcore.
[Vibrant General] grennis:
This is a lagfix for a lagfix? A metalagfix?
[Vibrant General] aeok18109:
Super saiyan lagfix
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
This simply takes an existing ext4 lagfix and optimizes performance at the slight expense of reliability.
[Vibrant General] wildklymr:
I'm more interested in this magical dragron rom you speak of. I cant seem to find it. Do you have a link?
[Vibrant General] icandy75:

[Vibrant General] djquick:

[Vibrant General] Sonnislav:
no it's not that much work and I'm a total newbie... ran into some newbie minor issues (kept typing 'unmount' instead of 'umount' lol and had to use chmod on the file tune2fs) but otherwise quite painless...

and now onto testing it for the day or two until the next rom release ...
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
It looks like a lot of work but in actuality is quite simple. Many of the steps are just verification steps so you can see that it worked. Been rocking this for 2 full days and I must say the improvement is quite noticeable.

I would love to pack this into a zip for everyone, but I'm afraid I don't have much technical "know-how" when it comes to stuff like that. Maybe if this peaks some interest one of these more bonafied devs could provide that for everyone.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
So, After doing some reading of the thread in the I9000 Dev forum, I decided to go ahead and give this a try. I removed the journaling from all three Ext4 partitions. The process was rather painless and smooth.

I'll report back a little later after I've had some time to test it out.
[Vibrant General] diazf09:
I was only able to remove the journaling from /data(/dev/block/mmcblk0p2)... I typed "mount | grep ext4.. It only displayed the /data/ partition..

Are you sure you have an ext4 file system on the other partitions?
[Vibrant General] Sonnislav:
well I am using r12 with 1125 kernel... also I went into the lagix options from the recovery menu and chose the 'No-RFS advanced ext4' ... my procedure was pretty much a mirror of the example... if you only saw /data then it sounds like you chose the 'voodoo' lagfix from ULF...

btw I am not seeing an improvement on battery life after almost a full day... it does seem a bit more responsive...

[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
What's the point / advantage in running unjournaled EXT4 when you can already run EXT2 this way (minus the extra work)?
[Vibrant General] johan8:
It is quite stupid to remove journal from FS just for a higher score,

then put your data in danger!
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
I could care less about a "higher score" as you say.

I am trying it out to see if there is any actual performance increase.

As far as the potential for data corruption, it seems to be fairly minimal.

Even if the file system does become corrupt, big deal. It's not like it's something that can't be repaired and the data is not irreplaceable.
[Vibrant General] diazf09:
Lol.. Yeah thats exactly the lagfix I got installed.. I didnt know it would only work with the advanced rfs ext4... Thanks for pointing that out for me

[Vibrant General] anomalous3:
My quadrant scores are 100 points higher with writeback journaling than with no journaling. I believe that metadata journaling does have some speed advantages for a few particular operations. YMMV
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
It will work on any partition you have an ext4 file system on.
[Vibrant General] diazf09:
Well I wasnt able to take out journaling. On all partitions just on data... With the vodoo ext4

[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
That's because voodoo only converts /data to ext4. If you want /dbdata and /cache you have to use the ext4 advanced option in one of the ULF kernels, not the voodoo option.
[Vibrant General] BL4zD:
Don't see the point in removing the journal from ext4 myself...I tried it briefly but data corruption is a question of when, not if, given the experimental builds of all the ROM's we're running.

Here's some actual data on the subject from Ted Tso (ext4 maintainer):

http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/

seems best to leave the journal alone (or change it to writeback if you're really curious), use noatime, and from the other thread on this topic change the frequency of commits.

Does anyone know what this file is? It's found in the /data/local folder. Mine is 1.15GB and I want to know if its safe to delete.

Also if someone could see if they also have this file and if it's a similar size.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Its safe to delete providing you reboot right afterwards. Its size is zero, I'm guessing the 1.15 gig you see Is from trying to pull the file via adb?.

[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
Yes, I had to reboot otherwise the device remained in a totally unstable state (lots of Force-Close because of missing free space on /data)

Using Root Explorer, /data/local/tsprsp was actually a very large file, not zero-sized.

Is this related to /system/bin/immvibed ??

This binary hogged my CPU usage for a while.

I just recently changed from the global 2.1 x10i firm to the x10a firm (since i had an x10a)

Previously in the x10i firm i was able to go through settings, sound & display, phone ringtone, and then the complete action using box would come up. In it one of the options was android system, and the other was music, which would show allow me to see pretty much all the compatible files on my sd card

i can not do that now. I am not sure if it was a program i had installed before, which i cant remember, or if it is the firmware itself.

any hints?

On the SD create a folder called media, in that create one called audio (create one also called picture and another in that called wallpaper) within that create another 4 called...

music

notifications

ringtones

...and put your tones in the appropriate folders, then when you use settings to change your tones they will then show up in the appropriate selection window.

ok... my telcom operator website says hspa is faster than wcdma ...so wanted to cross check... thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostshock:
Isn't it

WCDMA = UMTS = 3G Cell (voice + texts)

GSM = 2G Cell

HSPA = Data

I've had my phone connected as UMTS where I had no data but was sending and receiving texts. Although the most interesting of all is when instead of an H I had a G when Bell doesn't have a GSM network...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes & no

you are right in some stuff, and that's how people gets confused by all the different techno terms

HSPA = 3.5G and it needs WCDMA for it to work

Text as in SMS doesn't need 3G, any GSM can do Text, but again that's complicating things

2G is better known as EDGE on marketing and Sales people talk, it's so uncommon to hear or see an advertisement say "blah blah blah and we offer 2G Data!" 0_o

there are more.... but anyways lets keep things simple

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spazmogen:
Connect it to your computer via USB cable.

Using ADB, try this:

ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.

If it works, a yellow triangle appears with the green android guy.

Hit the HOME button. A menu appears. Use volume up/down to move through the options. Tap power to select it I beleive.

Reset/wipe to factory is one of the options.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spazmogen:
If you need it, ADB is found in the Android SDK.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spazmogen:
I am waiting for an answer to that question myself. I have no plans to change from the leaked version Garmin posted in mid-November.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merwin:
Apparently someone did a bit comparison and said they matched. Plus, I tried and it told me it was the same version. On the plus side, I messed up my recovery partition and recovered it using the backups I made of each partition after I loaded 2.1 (dump_image). I made img backups and tar backups of all the files in 1.6 (I am anal about backing up). Good thing because 2.1 doesn't come with flash_image.

I can get into fastboot and the driver loads and stuff, but I get no devices listed when I do fastboot devices command. Next stop is Ubuntu :)

I know it works,just need to know how to get to it. Btw,I tried both the Garmin fastboot and adb drivers as well as adding the device hardware id's into the android drivers and neither worked.

I also need to find out if there is a similar enough kernel that I can use to get a fully functional recovery mode. I did find out that you can use adb just fine in the stock one and it loads a serial driver as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afoster1003:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archanox:
I've just stumbled across this forum post from google, I too am need of fixing my phone. All that is faulty is that the recovery mode has been overwritten with an incorrect one. Is it possible to extract the recovery image and reflash it from the optus supplied Android 2.1 006-B1130-00.update file?

Or is there a way of just getting say Rom Manager to work some magic for me?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merwin:
Yes, it is possible... would be easier if someone could just use dump_image on a phone that has a working recovery mode and root access. I can provide the dump app and instructions.

Where can I get the Optus update, and are you positive recovery works on it? Does it also have working fastboot?

And to the other poster, which partition do you need? Btw, Rom manager has a permission fix mode. I can get you a tar file if it is the system partition or your choice of img or tar for the others.

And to everyone, after updating to 2.1, do a master clear because a lot of 1.6 apps are left over... duplicates.

Also, odexing all apps speeds it up a lot, with the caveat that you have to re-run the odex.sh file (found somewhere here and modified by me to be more thorough) after every app update or you will get force closes.

@winext

how did you end up with your phone? could you bring it back to life and how?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merwin:
You can bring it back to life... as long as you backed up the system partition.

That being said, you can fix it if you have adb and haven't completely trashed your system partition.

If you still can mount usb, drop the update file for 2.1 in the proper location and follow the normal update procedures. It should prompt you to update.

If not, you can probably still do it from command line in recovery mode, provided you have access to that.

Flashing the firmware and then doing a wipe is the only way you will get the system partition back to normal if you screw it up without a proper backup :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neptunian:
hey thanks for your respond :)

I tried to do it in the phone but it does not let me to have any interaction cause of the crazy warning. it asks for restart, thats all I can do, or other warnings like asking to do update or usb connection option or battery cover removed, but no more. it means I can not activate usb debugging if needed or follow update process through mobile UI. besides in this kind of phone there is no recovery mode but just something like "USB polling mode" and "safe mode." the warning is in safe mode too and I dono how to use "USB polling mode".

however the only option is ADB, and I do not have an backup of the rom but another simillar phone to make copy or the update file, if possible to copy them via ADB which I dono how; like which commands and where to copy them?
