You can convert them all.

I have used this app for some time now and its safe to use i think its even better then the z4mod app.

But think that's only /data has power backup. So you can loose data on the other if you are unlucky.

I don't know how.. I still have no error and a have done a couple of wired stuff.. Lol

Welcome back! Wishing you a happy new year ahead of you.

Hello z4ziggy,

I've used Z4mod Lagfix on my I9000B whith JPA and i have a 3G problem. For me, this connection did'nt work after apllied the patch.

I did unlagfix, restore RFS and Kernel, but the problem remains.Finnaly, I had to reinstal my rom, with Rom Manager, and only then the connection works again.

My phone shows a great performance after this lagfix, but i would like to know if is there some change, in this new app, about my related issue?

And sorry man, but where's the apk to download?

Thankyou

Ok, I'm lost all my data, the app did the backup in system.z4mod.tar, and the backup is fine but I can't access to my app and lost all; I have only my SMS

This is my z4mod.log
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z4ziggy:
Thanks for the info, and sorry about the inconvenience...

If i'm reading the log correctly, your /system partition was 100% full which prevented it from converting to ext2. Can you please confirm this by comparing the size of /sdcard/system.z4mod.tar and your /system partition?

the relevant lines from the log:

+ tar xf /sdcard/system.z4mod.tar -C /

tar: write error: No space left on device

If you will confirm my deduction, than I will try to add some check for future versions. Unfortunately, your only fix atm is complete reflash your rom. I am TERRIBLY sorry. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Hmm. Cant you do a function that check for this backup file and put that back?

Would be great if something goes wrong.

You could even use it for backup...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] esticbo:
Don't worry for the inconvenience, I have lost only the score of Angry bird Season, I've a backup of the other app.

I had the JPB (froyo spanish rom) with z4root + z4mod that with it I changed my filesystem in ext2, and with your last app z4control I try to change the other partition in ext2 too.

The system.z4mod.tar size is of 282.890.752 bytes (269 MB).

I'm flashing my Sgs and now try again to convert my partition

Edit: Nothings don't work very well or I'm no good to use your app. I'm flash my SGS then put z4root 1.3.0 / reboot / z4mod 0.93 (patch the kernel, and flash the new kernel) / reboot / z4control and try to convert all to ext2 / reboot and nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fenerbuuh:
nah i was wrong first, i shouldnt make you feel dumb, sorry for that.

you seem to be a good guy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] esticbo:
Ok, I've change my filesystem in ext2 with z4mod 0.93, in z4control I see that only the Data are in ext2, so I try to change DBData and System in ext2, reboot and start to change and all work great but when reboot I lost all again.:confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] z4ziggy:
As I've said, apparently you don't have enough free space in /system which breaks your system once you try to convert it. either dont convert /system (after all, only /data radically speeds up your system...) free some stuff manually.

Can you please send me your /sdcard/z4mod.system.tar so I can take a look?

Frozen phone

Hello. I also tried to use z4control and my phone got frozen after I tried to convert all the partitions to ext2. I watched over the log file and I think I have the "not enough space" problem with the system but I can't tell if DBdata and chace worked or not. I hope you can tell me that so I can try to convert only them again.

How can I make more space on the system partition? It worth doing it ... the speed will increase a bit? Thank you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
Nice work. hoping to make it work on SHW-M110S. Presently testing with z4modded stock kernel repacked again to add ext4 modules (tested working, see sig)

modified: Bugs described in more detail, with solutions, 2 posts down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
and I've wondered about this. Ok the bounty was for everything and I think that getting rid of rfs could help with kernel compiling no? But really, /system is functionally read only. Is it even clear that there is any advantage there (serious question) or is it just part of the general trend of throwing out rfs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
@z4ziggy (edit: shortening for clarity)

Ok.. I've been trying to track this down and there are multiple problems on my SHW-M110S some are mine, some are I believe not, or not entirely.

bug 1) /etc/init.d does not get created automatically and this stops everything else from

Ok bugs 3 and 4 are minemostly solved.. I was unaware of split zimage (although I'd noticed some odd related things).. It is actualy splitting unecesarily when even just a standard gzip will fit with room to spare. I think this is a bug in the size decisions in z4build (0.12.8)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
removed for redundancy and clarity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
More bugs.. I'm short on time sorry for quick typing

1)/system is initially mounted read only as acknolwedged by P scripts that change it. z4build init wrapper attempts ot link mtab to /etc while it's read only (found because I had to create /etc/init.d in the same place as workaround to previous bug)

2) ext4 formatting requires an mtab, but z4mod umounts /system during conversion so (even after fixing last bug) there's still no mtab

workaround.. I added empty /etc/mtab to kernel and replaced link in z4 init wrapper with a bind mount over /etc instead. Better solution, create it temporarily during conversion.

edit: see z4mod thread for a bug about grepping the system device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Guto ViP:
I have problem with full JFS convert (by LuisManson's Stream Kernel), operation is fine, but:

- I cant install busybox by market aplication.

- Ringtone, alarm and notification sounds option is empty, i got a solution make a image of system/media to sdcard

- Some programs isnt work, exemple Facebook to Android, i got only FC.

- SGSTools doesnt work too.

- Sometimes losing personal configurations...

have any can i do to solve this?

Thnks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
@z4ziggy, I've made many changes to the init script to get this working on SHW-M110s (one or two not required to get it working just). It's now working very well.

I'd really recommend unpacking my kernel (linked in my sig) and taking a look at the init wrapper as well as /sbin/appatools.sh and /sbin/appasetup.sh called from init. The latest changes address upgradeability/ what happens when fstab dissapears.. backup fstab or trying hard to mount everything anyway and a couple of just plain bugs like the mtab availability and ro mode when rw is needed etc... I've put a good bit of work into. Not all of it will be suitable for your desires I'm sure but maybe some.

one more bug sometimes it makes an empty P00-z4mod.sh script and halts instead of rebooting.. seems maybe related to superuser (as opposed to normal su) and/or trying to use the app too early in the bootup during media scanning. Evidence is too anectdotal to say. Usually it's ok though.

edit: just remembered... I'm lzma compressed, no I wasnt' when I found the splitting bug.. it got bigger since then (instructions for lzma unpacking exist in the unpacking guide.. but I'll just post the files in a minute)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Killajade:
ok i think i managed to break my phone while trying to convert all to ext2. When i start it up now it just keeps on vibrating, as if it were force closing an app, after the boot logo. it can still enter recovery and download mode but a factory reset or formatting the internal sd-card haven't helped.

i'm somewhat of a noob so it might just be me doing something wrong here:(

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zuNcHAN:
I'm somewhat indecisive about something here and the reason why is probably because I'm not very knowledgeable about such things. For confirmation, seeing how z4control.apk is out, would I need to install both z4mod and z4control or just z4control?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appagom:
I think its only "out" in a dev thread. So if you don't understand, probably best don't use it yet. Z4mod alone works very well though and is more tested and it makes all the needed changes for you.

(And yes to answer your question.. using z4mod first is one route to getting a kernel/initramfs that z4control is designed to work with)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bluephantom3:
Whats the difference between ext2, ext3 and ext4?

All I know that the Z4mod I used before was ext2 and Speedmod and Voodoo which is part of Darky's Rom use ext4.

But I found that it wasn't really any different.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Z4controll give you the option to convert all partitions. Z4mod do only convert data partition.

The conversion tool is the same.

So if you only want basic data conversion you can use Z4mod.

Also both support all file system.

If you want to convert to other then ext2 the kernel must have support for it. No stock kernel do.

Well, I haven't checked out the framework of the theme, or Axura for that matter, but here's how I port themes to mine.

Download 7zip from the web, it's free. Find the Axura2.4 rom and right click and open it with 7zip. Browse to System/Framework and copy framework-res.apk to your desktop. Now right click the framework-res.apk on your desktop and open with 7zip. Navigate to res/drawable-hdpi-v4. That is where 90% of theme elements are stored. Keep this window open.

Now find the Galaasia theme, easiest to keep it on your desktop. Open the theme folder, with 7zip if it's compressed. The theme should be laid out very similar, just drill down to framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi-v4.

Select all of the contents of that folder, and drag them into the framework-res of the Axura that you had opened in the previous step. Close the windows and that's it.

Now take root explorer or terminal emulator, copy that new framework-res.apk to your internal SD, then with root explorer or whatever, copy that to /system/framework on your phone. Reboot and it's themed.

***All elements might not be the same between 2.1 and 2.2 as far as theming goes. Use at your own risk.

Guys,

Anyone figured out a way to get rid of these stupid HTC Sense Friend Matches, bar the obvious deleting of my HTC Sense account? I get hundreds every day, most of them clearly made-up names, and it's doing my head in. Choosing "Ignore All" gets rid of them...for a while, and then more are suggested. Plus sometimes it takes a good five minutes to ignore all the requests which of course is very annoying.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaindancerAU:
The only way I've found to reliably stop the stupid friend requests from popping up is to disable sync with HTC Sense.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] regP:
Depends on what you're into.

Like music? Check out Slacker Radio, Pandora, Sound Hound, and any of the alternative media players in the market.

Like games? Cleck out Doodle Jump or any of the other games in market.

Like fitness? Check out LiftPro, or many of the interval timers in the market.

Basically... hit up the Market and search for things that are relevant to your interests.
[Vibrant General] blkbltwrestler:

Watchdog i use and place the home widget right on my homescreen. Don't get all caught up in taskmanagers because android deals with tasks/programs differently than Windoz.

I paid for Launcherpro, but my home launcher of choice is Touchwiz. See Samsung but into your Vibrant a taskkiller, and it recognizes every home launcher out there as a task, so when you simply kill all tasks, your default home launcher has ti re-draw itself. Except for Touchwiz! Some reason the engineers as Samsung made Touchwiz invisible to the task killer.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Because its a system and default launcher.

Its like all thee, bloatware u can't uninstall them without rooting
[Vibrant General] bossman137:
You aught to go ahead and download OCLF (one click lag fix), use that to root.

once rooted

1. Ad free (blocks easily 95 percent of ads on unpaid aps)

2. Titanium Backup (best for uninstaling bloatware, and general uninstaling, but best feature is it backs up all your aps and ap data, i have restored 4 times and it saves SOOO much time)

3. Rom Manager (backups your phones rom, basically everything but aps, plus it is amazing for flashing modifications to your phone and new better roms, if your into that)

4. astrid tasks (great task list, reminder)

5. Dolphin HD (much better browser than stock)

6. Gas Buddy (list of current gas prices around town)

7. Jet VD (app for downloading or just viewing youtube videos)

8. movie fone ( Shows movie times, buy tickets, view trailers)

9. Shoot Me (with a shake you take a screenshot of your phone)

10. Unified Remote ( turns your cell into a rmote for your pc, media remote, browser remote, or just a mouse)

11. wall Switch (automatic wallpaper switcher, every "x" minutes)

And if you really want your phone to fly, root your phone (NO lag fix), download rom manager, and to go teamwhiskey.com and instal their custom rom Nero 3 with voodoo lagfix. it changed my phones life :)

- No Signal Alert - points out when you've lost signal, the paid version even maps it for you so you can remember deadzones

- Quadrant - tells you the speed of your phone and compares it to other droids

- Score Mobile - find the latest scores of your favorite sport teams

- Opera Mini - I love this browser, it's fast and responsive (note: only 1 zoom level, no pinch zooming)

Don't be fooled -- Quadrant scores have little to do with actual speed. You can have a low Quadrant score and still have an incredibly fast phone, and a high score with a slow phone. The quadrant rates on other factors as well. Just thought I'd clear that up..

Some of my favorites that have yet to be mentioned:

Google Books

- I think it's the best overall, especially since it syncs with Google, so you'll have your collection wherever there is internet to be had.

Button Remapper

- I just use this to soft key the Search button. I usually turn it into a Camera, just for convenience. (Requires root)

Gameboid

- It's a GBA emulator. Need I say more?

SetCPU

- This app makes overclocking/underclocking incredibly easy (although the app can be a bit of a pain to understand if/when you're just getting started.) You can set up profiles, scenarios, etc. (Requires root.)

SMS Backup

- You can use this to automatically back up your text messages to your Google account. I don't know about you, but I flash a new ROM just about every week. it'd be annoying if I couldn't look back on my texts.

SGS Tools

- This app is amazing. It replaces many of the stock programs your phone comes with, in addition to having a GPS Fix, Android Market Fix, Secret Codes (that Samsung doesn't want you to know,) as well as a slew of other things. I'd suggest this app for ANYONE with a Galaxy S series device.

SiMi Folder/Clock

- I like making things look pretty. To keep it short and sweet, these two help you do that.

Twicca

- I like to tweet and I wholeheartedly believe that this is the best overall app to do that. It's still in it's beta stages, but I find it to be a more complete package than any other in the Market.

Hope this helps.
