Oh well, can't really do much to avoid that so might as well start getting used to it. Thanks for the info...again!

Hey Im on 1.1.3. w/ EXT4 also but I have already applied the No Journal Mod, so do you think I'll have a problem when trying to flash CWM 3.0? Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated...from anyone! CWM 3.0 seems to be the direction the movement is heading towards, so I might as well stop procrastinating! TIA!

I'm not sure why but after flashing the journaling mod, I swapped the battery and the phone bugged out. I ended up using odin, and had to manually reinstall every app. Titanium backups were lost as well? Not happy lol... hours of restoration.

can someone quickly tell me if i can install this using cwm 3? Viper rom will not install on cwm 3 and thats all i am able to boot to now. No more cwm .2
[Epic 4G Android Development] lp894:
I ran into the same issue when I first used Bonsai. I ended up having to switch over to cw3. Have u switched over already? You'll know its cw3 because it has orange txt instead of green. I don't mean to offend you if your an experienced user but I work on the support side of IT so I'm used to explaining things in the mostsmple way possible to make sure anyone can understand no matter who I'm talkin to. Another thin(I made this mistake) you have to boot into recovery after you run the batch file to install it in order to actually set it up. So basicaly t get it to work I had to:

1 - boot into android and install cw3

2 - boot into recovery to actually setup cw3

3 - I did a full wipe(data/system/cach)

4 - reinstalled the Bonsai rom

5 - boot into android to run the first time setup(mine always hangs at the gmail setup so I skip and set it up later)

6 - boot back into recovery and apply the fix located around page 153ish(remove journaling)

7 - boot into android again, set up my gmail account, reinstall apps...and its been smooth sailing ever since
[Epic 4G Android Development] lp894:
Yep. It installs in cw3 just fine....might have to apply the no jourlaning mo once its installed tho. Some here needed to, others didnt
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
where do i find the no jouranling?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:

can I come from new viper to this? do I have to do anything special?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
pretty sure no is the answer to this. But i couldnt get viper to work anyways so i had no issues coming to this from midnight
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
yea I mean I did the midnight flashes to do the ext4 stuff, do I just flash this rom now or do I need to do other things? do I need to do the mammon ext4 thing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
now im no expert but i beleive that is also no. once you have ext4 the only way out is to odin so you should still have ext4. i didnt do anything else to flash and now im restoring my apps n ****. all is good here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Still amazed by the battery life. Been unplugged for about 2 hours and I just checked my phone, 100%. Its been sleeping the most of it but still, usually it drops from 100% a lot quicker than this.

flash this through clockwork
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
ah okay, this is different than the thing on the first page then. okay, makes sense. so is there a way to confirm that I have the ext4 system. I flashed the zips from viperrom which said it did it.

and how do I go about getting higher clockwork support? sorry if I seem stupid, I'm not really seeing it in the android development thread and I have limited time before the wife and screaming baby get home :)

EDIT: I think I got it now, works on the wifes computer, now in clockwork 3. so hopefully I have ext4 now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10412786&postcount=1584

i think this is to check for ext4.. there should be a terminal command in here around page 130 (or whenever the first no-journal mod was used) to know if the no-journal installed... and for clockwork 3.0.0.5

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897612

not sure how to do this but sounds easy enough. i personally am still on 2.5.1.2 because im waiting for more devs to change to edify scripts (i have too many .zip's i dont want to wait for lol)

sorry i cant help with cwm3

Edit: cwm3 should convert to ext4 if u didnt have it before so i think your good.

Missing Applications after Reboot

I just flashed from stock dk28 to bonsai4all v1.1.3. I followed the instructions on post 1 and erased everything. The ROM loaded correctly and I started putting all my applications back on via the marketplace. After installing all my apps, I decided to turn off my phone and then on again. After the phone rebooted, all my added apps were missing.

If I got to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications, they are all there, but the size is 0.00B.

If I reinstall them from the market place, they work fine, until I reboot.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this is a noob question, this is the first custom ROM I have installed for Android.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
No it's not necessary to flash no journal. Its supposed to add like 15% more speed. I think some people are getting like 1800 quadrants after doing this mod. I tried to do it and it said it installed properly but my phone hung on the samsung screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Did you reflash Bonsai 1.1.3 after applying this mod?

This mod wipes clean /system /data and /cache. You have to reinstall the ROM after doing this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
No, the backup restore will not remove the no_journal mod.

The no_journal mode recreates the filesystems. In doing this, the modifications are stored in the filesystem superblock. Unless you recreate the filesystems, the changes will persist. Deleting every file on the filesystem will not affect these changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
I flashed your version of the mod and when i rebooted it went back to my normal rom and settings (it did not wipe anything). I was still on bonsai 1.1.2..but now i am having a problem with wi-fi. it wont connect and i have tried deleting the .conf file in /data/wifi but it doesnt help. Could it be a bad wi-fi radio or is there another fix i can try..i wanted to ODIN back but im on a mac and dont think i can use it without bootcamp or whatever..

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Good question:

CWM3 in its current state appears to create Ext4 filesystems after applied and when powering the phone back on.

It would be my recommendation to either stay on CWM2 and wait for some of this dual version stuff to be worked out, or after flashing CWM3 and letting the phone start up into 3.0.0.5, go to Advanced->Reboot Recovery which should take you back to 2.5.1.2 and then reflash the no_journal mod.

Notice: I am about to upload a new version of this mod which goes a little bit further in recreating the filesystems and setting the desired behaviors before making them available for the ROM flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
im getting 1500 without and got all my stuff loaded back on. So if it wipes my **** and isnt necessary then im not gonna do it lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Yeah I just tried this and still the same thing. I flashed the no journal mod then flashed the rom again and still hung at samsung screen.

The Stress Test:

This test involves turning on all antenae and running as many apps as possible through the system in attempts to create a system freeze or break. to do this I used my VW Jetta for bluetooth (Phone Calls), and the 3.5mm jack for audio playback. Also the phone was not plugged in so Iwas running strictly battery.

Pre Step: Set CPU to 1000mhz/1000mhz

Step One: Turn on Pandora (4G)

Step Two: Program 20 Minute route into navigation with satilite view 3d, and screen at 100%

Step Three: Call my Home # and leave it on.

Step 4 Start Driving

Results after 15 mins: 30% battery drain, Core Temp of Phone 102% no decernable break or freezes. Did see lag while turning everything off and restarting phone. I presume this is due to temp not software.

***If anyone can think of a better method for real world test or would like to see another test preformed please let me know, otherwise I'm going to take a break and enjoy this current build for a while***
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
EXT4 formatter and filesystem tuner

I've taken the basis for what Dameon87 created in the the ext4-nojournal mod, fixed a couple of bugs and then extended it to actually recreate the filesystems and add the desired tuning parameters BEFORE we put any files down.

This mod will destroy any files on /system, /data and /cache: Do a backup in CWM before applying this mod.

The mod creates the Ext4 filesystems for /system, /data and /cache.

During the creation process (formating), it turns off journalling and turns off huge_file features.

I doubt we will see any real performance gain by removing huge_file support on these filesystems, but it will allow us to boot from kernels in the future that don't have huge_file support.

huge_file = file sizes > 2TB

This mod has been tested by myself and a couple of other folks so I have high confidence that there are no issues caused by this mod as long as you do a backup and restore. I've run through this at least 3 times this morning with no issues.

To apply, reboot recovery. If you reboot to 3.0.0.5, go to Advanced->Reboot Recovery to get to a proper version of CWM. Whether you end up in 2.5.1.2 or 3.0.0.2 depends on which CWM3 mod you originally used.

DO A BACKUP THROUGH CWM BACKUP!

Select the mod from the sdcard and apply.

BEFORE REBOOTING, REINSTALL YOUR ROM! (must be a ROM that supports Ext4)

After you have installed your ROM, go to Restore->Advanced Restore and restore Data.

Reboot and you should be back to state that you started in before applying this mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I've just posted the current state-of-the-art for this mod and I have flashed Bonsai 1.1.3 at least 3 times today.

I will say that I believe I had at least one run where it stayed on the Samsung screen longer than usual. I gave it some extra time and things booted as expected.

I'd suggest trying the new mod I just posted, following those instructions, and see if that gets you back to land of the living.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I'm sure this has been explained about 1000 times, but I haven't really been following the development. If I'm still on Bonsai 1.1.2 with CWM v2.5.1.0 and RFS, what's the process to go to the new Bonzai ROM (1.1.3) along with EXT4 with Randy's new EXT4 no-journal MOD? I'm guessing the process is to install Dameon's new CWM first from here, boot into CWM v2.5.1.2 (or whatever it is) then install the new EXT4 no journal mod, then flash Bonzai 1.1.3. Is that correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i think its all working now, but I'm pretty sure I got 1800 on quadrant before and now after journal thing I get 1500.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
The approach you describe will work. Be sure to use the ext4-format_nojournal mod I just posted.

However, it is questionable whether you need to go to CWM3. I've lost track of all of the issues there. If you can avoid this dual version CWM business, I would. Maybe someone else can answer that definitively.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Thanks for the explanation!
[Epic 4G Android Development] montiz333:
having small issues

coming from the stock DK28 i went ahead and flashed the new CWM with the Ext4 then installed this new rom i love the rom but im not sure if i did everything rite my twlauncher is different from the one in the screen shots and it rotates and thats really a pain but other then that its perfect is there anything i missed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] montiz333:
Or is there a way to snatch a twlauncher out of a different rom and put it in
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
this is a modified version of touchwiz 3..You can search around the forum for the original and go to settings---display--and turn auto-rotation *off* if you dislike the rotation.

Edit: I think you can use this one and just go to app list press menu and u can add and delete the apps at the bottom (i think. been a while since i used it). Im guessing u just want the regular 4 apps...and in the themes forum there is a flashable zip for the stock app menu look..i think the one here resembles launcher pro..hope this helps

Thanks Randy for the explanation...now is the mod on pg168 the update or is it the same as the one from pg153?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I have hemmed and hawed about going up to 1.1.3 with CW3 and ext4 with all of these issues being posted left and right.

I had no real issue with 1.1.1 other than after all of this reading about ext4 and quadrant scores, I decided to check mine. Bad idea. Consistent 980-1015 every time.

So I decided to go ahead and give it a go against my better judgment, but am happy to say everything went PERFECTLY. Because of that, I figured I'd post how I chose to do it, just for observational purposes.

Starting with 1.1.1 with update.zip applied

1)Formatted stock SDcard

2)ODIN3+1.61 to load DG27-8Gb full image

3)Reboot and enable usb debugging

4)Run Clockwork 3 from the zip file (run.bat)

5)Rebooted back into CW3 where it completed ext4 installation

6)Rebooted back into CW3 and applied Bonsai 1.1.3

7)Bonsai booted automatically; canceled setups and shutdown phone

8)ODIN3+1.61 to load modem.bin from "DK28 Extended" zip

9)Reboot, everything OK

After that everything was 100%, so I went back into quadrant again to see if I am back where everyone else is or if my score was hardware related... 1569, and consist results thereafter!

So far, I have not run the "MOD" zip for journaling yet and am not sure if I am going to, as everything seems awesome so far... very glad I decided to go ahead. I thought this phone was nice before, it's much faster now.

The only issue I have seen so far is my auto-rotate is wonky again, and the terminal fix doesn't improve it greatly (2-3 second delay), but still nothing like the original lag when DK28 came out before the terminal fix.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone. I know I was really on the fence with so many good and bad results. Mine have been great, and if it helps anyone else my steps taken are there.

Thanks again Mammon!

[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Sorry I am not Randy_T, but....

The file on pg153 is JUST for adding the No Journal MOD to and existing ext4 File System.

The file on pg168 is a ext4 Formatter and No Journal MOD combined into one file/process.

In Short.....

You would use it starting from scratch. From ClockworkMod you would run it and that would Format your File System to ext4 AND include the No Journal MOD before you add you ext4 compatible ROM.

Hope this helps.

Randy_T, please add anything I may be missing.

Anyone tested the new no journal mod yet? I'm wondering how it performs vs. journaling on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Performs well. I get aprox. 100-150 more on Quadrant Scores. All in all it "feels" about the same or slightly better as far as general UI performance during use.

Ext4 itself performs fast enough, but I am using it to cut down on the writing that Ext4 does in hopes of extending the life of the phone. As I upgrade phones every 1-2 years I am sure that would not even be an issue, but I feel better doing so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:

That No Journal Mod is an awesome piece of work, can't wait to see what else is in store from this camp!

If you take it out of the previous Bonzai ROM, you can add it through SDX App Removal. You can use the search tool to get the app if you need it, I've posted before in this thread.

Not sure if this was answered but Randy_T posted this to check for No Jorno:

"The adb commands are:....

adb shell tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl9 -- will show the tuning settings for that filesystem. If journaling is disabled, you will NOT see an entry for "Journal inode:"

You can also grab something like QuickSSHD or a Terminal Emulator app that would allow you to type the above commands WITHOUT the 'adb shell' right at the Linux command line."
