If you want to speed up your phone my suggestion would be too read, read, and read some more. As this is your first post and you are asking this I am guessing you are new to smartphone modding, so please do som research before you go any further.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yongwoot:
So like,, my contact force shuts down over and voer. so i..deleted it. i was wondering is there is a .apk file somewhere i can get online. same for the web connect as well. plez and thank you. and foprgive me for my idiocy
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
next time, just open the original .zip of the rom you flashed on your computer! then go to system folder > apps folder > extract apk of choice > copy to phone > reinstall > DONE

friendly advice.. never edit/delete/modify anything without making a backup.

never hurts to always have a restore point. cheers
[Vibrant General] TatuGrim:
Call tmobile, tel them you sammy your update, give them your iemi number, and within 48 hours volla, you got your 2.2 people, now I just hope that we don't get screwed with 2.3....
[Vibrant General] TatuGrim:
Want, not sammy, lol bad	typo
[Vibrant General] RageR6:
Go to settings > abour phone and reply back with the baseband version
[Vibrant General] TatuGrim:
I just called a lil over an hour ago, they pushed my iemi number ahead and was told in les then 48 hours I will receive the update
[Vibrant General] quadratic:
So by "I have it" (in the thread title) you mean "I think I'll get it because some clueless T-Mobile rep said I would"?

Yeah... let us know how that works out :D
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
If your imei gets pushed ahead, and that means you will receive froyo in 48 hours, that would mean froyo is starting today or tomorrow. That's the part I don't believe. Samsung is leaving us with a phone with broken gps, if they won't even make our phones work why would they bother with software? Samsung obviously couldn't care less.

I know samsung sold a donkey load of SGS phones, but I want to know how many of those purchasers have sold it or are otherwise dissatisfied to the point of never buying another samsung phone again. 2 of the 3 SGS owners I know have sold theirs, and the 3rd wants to
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
For grins & giggles I called our dealer support line and asked about this. Actually spoke with a customer service rep and a supervisor. Neither of them have heard of adding the IMEI to any list to push the FROYO update. The only push they'd heard about was the previous system update.

Of course, like others have said. You can always get someone who just doesn't know what they're talking about, but I'm gonna go with them on this. Now if you get the update and prove me wrong then that's good news for all.

Keep trying though, someday you might get your FROYO without root...

I'll stick with my rooted Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Man just root your phone. Its not hard and its not hard to remove if you decide you don't like it.

The Pro's easily out weigh the Con's.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
think.

A OTA sometimes bugs and people don't get the update.

So they call t mobile and tell them to push it to your phone. I had to do that before for 2.1.1

But I just them my phone number and they confirmed I had a galaxy s phone so they sent it within 24 hours and I got it.

They actually do this.

I also think there's a reason walmart and samsung websites say 2.2 but its going to be for everyone not just the ones who call
[Vibrant General] TatuGrim:
Just try it and say your sorry after, their starting to roll out the update, but just call and have them push it through,i have 30 hours left to receive it, they do have it because I was confirmed by samsung, then I called tmobile to tell them what I was told, so just try it and thats it
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
And if you don't get it will you come back and tell us that you didn't get it? Or just dissapear?
[Vibrant General] TatuGrim:
I will, I've just been busy working all day, as soon as I get it, or tomorrow if I don't get it I will post it here

[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Thank you to KitsunePaws, ^Scientific, and Hello in IRC for testing. You are all awesome =]

Thank you to everyone who let me bounce ideas off of them.

Thanks to noobnl for the help with performance tweaks. =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
can you please explain the benefits of this in short? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
After completing this procedure, how hard would it be to revert back to RFS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Reverting to RFS is possible, but not easy yet. I'll have to make an uninstaller.

Benefits to this are:

I/O performance increased, and huge amounts of responsiveness increase. The phone flies, in short.

Try the new ADW EX launcher with it and you will **** a brick (And no, not your phone ;) )
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
will an odin help with Reverting to RFS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Of course. Odin will fix it.

I will have reverting scripts up later this week.

Ext4 is a HUGE step for the Epic.

I really hope other devs adopt this and we get things rolling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
got it, also, you wrote "Now you need to open a command prompt and navigate to your adb directory " can you guide me thru this? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Oh ok, so to go back to RFS one just needs to use Odin. I wanted to make sure because I've heard a lot of horror stories from other Galaxy S users having problems because they didn't correctly remove their "lag fix."

If you don't have an understanding of how adb works, you should look at an existing guide like this one.

can someone put up a youtube how to. i am a bit nervous about flashing these. thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] thetoady:
what's the benefit of ext4 on a device such as this?

I'd imagine something like ext2 would be a) faster and b) less damaging (no double writes due to log) to the flash.

The only advantage I see of ext3/4 is minimizing fsck times if needed on reboot.

just wondering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
Not trying to be mean, but this was answered already on the first page.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Magic Oreo:
Do you need abd to make this work? I have no computer acces for the next 4 days and would really like to try this out before then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
He asked a completely different question....

To the question asker: ext4 is the direction Android, as a whole, is going. The Nexus S is an ext4 fs. It's too late to go into it successfully, but it's gonna make a lot of exciting projects easier :)

"From here you need to run the step1.bat file"

I think this should say step2.bat. Since I don't see a step1.bat in the zip.

After I followed the steps I rebooted recovery by accident and ended back up at 2.5.1 is there anyway to get this back to the new recovery without starting from Odin and doing the whole process all over again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kinglegz:
midnight has the redirector .the problem im having isnt clockwork !iget to clockwork i flash the preparer with no problem it redirects me back but when itry to run the bat file all iget are errors and device not found
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
Just to make sure, you haven't deleted the DRM apks, have you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
How far did you make it before you tried rebooting into recovery?

Update!

http://efragtv.com/android/OneClickEXT4.v1.2.zip

This has a new kernel in it that will dramatically improve performance FURTHER.

It also adds about 500-600 points in Quadrant ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
Does this contain the same kernel you posted in the Quantum thread, or an even newer version?

And thanks! This is all quite awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Same one as in the Quantum thread =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
in what stage do i run install-ext4.bat on my desktop computer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
After flashing prepare.zip and issuing an

adb reboot recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
and the new kernel in the updated zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Correct eric =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
:-) i was asking when to flash the kernel, before the rom, while on adb?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Okay guy's, I finally got this to work. these are the steps: 1st, I odin back to STOCK DK28 ( no extended ).. Then I installed oneclick root and recovery w/redirect. then I uninstalled the root and left the clockworkmod. I formatted my sdcard, then put quantom 2.5 on my sdcard, along with the FINAL kernel.zip. Then I booted into cwm 2.5.1.0, and installed Quantom 2.5. Take note that your phone WILL NOT boot all the way just yet, it will hang at the SAMSUNG screen. This is okay. then download the ext4.zip in the OP to your desktop, then extract it into a NEW folder, and name it "android". ( just open the ext4.zip file up using winzip, and drag and drop ALL files in the .zip into the andriod folder you just made). Okay, since your phone is still gonna be at the samsung screen, pull the batt, and boot back into cwm 2.5.1.0, but this time, scroll down to "advanced"> then select "reboot recovery", and it should boot into 2.5.1.2. NOW, unplug the usb cable and plug it back in (on my pc, in running WINDOWS 7 with no PROBLEMS "Prophour") Also, when I plug in my usb cable my pc makes a sound to let me know that it see's my phone. It should see your phone, and if your not sure, just go to the next step. Aight, now open the new folder called "android", and go to the "install-ext4.bat" file and double click it. It should do it's thing... Then DO NOT BOOT your phone just yet, once it's done, reflash Quantom 2.5, then flash the FINAL-KERNEL.zip file you put on your sdcard after you formatted it.. That SHOULD put you where you need to be Prophour! Good luck...

Prophour, if you have anymore probs, pm me so not to clutter up Dameon87 thread to much...
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:
I got to where you have to flash the rom after all the required steps and I must have had a brain fart and hit reboot recovery. It rebooted back to the old recovery but I had the new one installed. When I try to start from the beginning again by flashing the prepare.zip it gives me the line 3 error cannot open cache and when I try to flash Dameon rom it says

E:Failure at line 3:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted

I can't seem to do anything at this point except Odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Your phone is ext4 now and the old cwm don't support it. Your gonna have to odin and do it all over again
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Updated the instructions a little bit to be more clear.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Glad you got it to work instead on whinning about it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ranger093:
Is the recovery issue fixed where it would go to the old one after you were up and running? If so I have a modified One Click root that will fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Before flashing new rom I always like to start out clean.

Is this a proper way of doing this?

1.Odin DK28

2.Apply 2.5.5 latest cwr and root

3.Flash latest Quantum rom

4.Put 2 zip files on sdcard

5.From Windows cmd "ADB reboot recovery" into cwr

6.Flash prepare.zip in cwr

7.In Windows cmd "ADB reboot recovery"

8.Now from modded clockwork recovery run install-ext4.bat from Windows cmd?

Is this the best way on doing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
i think i did it, any way of making sure its installed right, if quantum 2.5.0 works than the ext4 mod works for sure? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
adb shell mount

adb shell df

If you see ext4, you are golden.

If you can boot into the rom you flashed, you are golden =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
Hehe, ya, don't delete the DRM Apk's anymore. I think in the Quadrant ROM OP, there's a flashable zip to restore them. Or you can push them back yourself to you system/app/ But ya, that definitely causes audio issues with last couple of builds.

I still kill the DRM process once I boot (through native 'running services' dealy, and that works fine for me.

EDIT:

Attached flashable zip should restore the DRM apks

(this zip file d/l'd originally from Quantum ROM Thread as a fix)

[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Thanks, but in the OP, I did it his way 5 times, and worked everytime....
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Wait!? you got the ext4 installed, AND Viperspeed lagfix at the same time? Or you just have Viperspeed? Cuz if you just got Viperspeed, Viperspeed tricks quadrant scores, as BT has stated many, many times thru out his thread... This ext4 is the real deal...
[Epic 4G Android Development] blu9987:
Since this is hidden/buried just gonna add was trying to calibrate battery (new kernal, new calibration etc etc) but just ended up doing it a weird way idk, i think it worked so i dont care too much. Would be nice if the powered off charge was fixed though

Is there a way to check to make sure it installed right? I pushed it this morning and changed the ext2 to ext4 in the bat file.

Im running your 2.5 rom does that mean its working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
So I had working and decided to try to incorporate it into my rom. Keeps erroring out. Then I decide to start from scratch. I try to odin bak to DK28 stock and no deal, it fails. I can odin back to DI18 without a problem. But if I try to odin back to DK28 while DI18 is loaded it fails. Kinda weird.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
I'm getting this, too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigroof:
Is it the Kernel or the Rom?

Is it just going to be a flash fix or do we need to redo the whole thing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
Good to know
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Kernel problem. Give me a few. Need to figure out what is causing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigroof:
Cool. Nice work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
basically would you just need to incorporate all of your xbin flashables and the ext4 line in your update.zip to incorporate ext4 into every rom?

that and the ex4updatefinal.zip thingy?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
thanx op for all your work on this, been a big fan of yours since day one i had my epic and this whole deal is just sweet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TurboFool:
Worked for you in resolving my problem, or was the first thing you tried? Because it doesn't look that notably different from what I'm doing, outside of a few seemingly-unnecessary steps. Not saying it can't work, but doesn't seem designed to resolve the fact that my computer can't see the phone in recovery mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
One of the Odin's ONLY work with DI18, I think it's Odin-v.3Epic is for DI18, and Odin+v1.61 is only for DK28, so make sure your using the right one bud...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
If your having probs with your pc see'ing your phone, try re-installing the drivers...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TurboFool:
Considering it sees it flawlessly when the phone's booted into Android, I don't see that making a difference. It appears that the phone's not reporting its ADB functionality to the computer when in Clockworkmod.

AOSP Lockscreen

Any chance of getting an aosp lockscreen zip that is ext4 compatible? The one in addon's errors out when flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Well I guess you could try to Odin to stock DK28, re-installing cwm 2.5.1.0, and going from there... Basically starting over.. What other choice do you have but to try everything, if you want ext4 bad enough.. It's fast as hell, I got 14.338 in linpack!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TurboFool:
Yeah, it turned out to be the pure stock DK28/OneClick Root combo that worked for me. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
so if we do want to go back to "normal" dk28 we need to odin modem and wipe ect. only? just wanna be sure if i need to go back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
So without viperspeed my ui is definately slower. But its still quick.

I had to go back to my previous DK28 ROM (Bonsai4All) and the stock Email apk as I was having problems with the GTab Email apk. I always have a problem with that apk - this problem does not seem to be ROM dependent. But in doing so I can vouch that I was able to:

1. restore a pre-EXT4 nand from CWM back into the new EXT4 partitions

2. flash the new DK28-EXT4 kernel to get similar performance with the Bonsai4All ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] pre2epic4g:
I agree that this needs to be done. I love this work and feel that Dameon87 is the bomb but maybe the OP can be modified to list the exact steps needed rather than leaving the current hodge podge of caveats, answers, & informational tidbits scattered throughout this thread. I think that this would reduce the volume of headaches and questions.
