i cant stand EXT4. every rom i tried with it just seemed way laggier than i ever experienced with RFS.

my issues have been my battery draining a lot quicker, mms sometimes wont send, takes forever to get a GPS lock, sound stutters (music and notifications), games lag... and other ones i cant think of at the moment,

ive tried Quantum, Bonsai, and Viper. they just seem much more buggy to me on EXT4. so im switching back to RFS.

anyone else have these issues?
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
noobnl told me that he and others were doing everything they could to use RFS only. If those guys don't want EXT4 then there's definitely something up...
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
Mine's more responsive than its ever been (except for screen rotate) running quantum 2.7 EXT4 and xjman's modified libdvm.so. personally, I think the whole "EXT4 will kill your phone" stuff is a kneejerk reaction to a non-issue. Those of us that are reflashing a few times a week via odin or updating roms through cwm are going to wear the NAND more than simply running EXT4. :shrug: personally, I'm going to continue to run EXT4 and I'm not going to loose a wink of sleep over it. ;)
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
+1..

I don't have any issues. Infact I've seen improvements :D
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Maybe you should try odining a different "version" of dk28. I know dameon mentioned stuff about certain preparations of dk28 not working well.

[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Its just way too much flashing, more steps and headache in EXT4 or maybe im just lazy. I like simple that's why i will stay with RFS.
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
ive gone back to eclair with syndicate rom and xtreme kernal. Froyo and / or EXT4 are not ready for primetime yet IMO
[Epic 4G General] S0ckM0nk3y:
EXT4 lags for me as well so I'm in the process of going back to RFS as I type this. Actually starting over from DI18 and videoing it as well
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I love Ext4. Made my phone more responsive along with the custom lib. I don't really see where it's that much more flashing once you install it you are done.
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
I've given ext4 a shot for about a week with a few different roms, and I'm not impressed at all. Seems to run worse.

Actually, I'm getting sick of DK28 in general. I think it's time to go back to 2.1.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
No problems for me at all. Runs better if anything. Running Nebula ROM 1.06
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I like EXT4 myself...I dont think we should go backwards,this is improvment plain and simple.
[Epic 4G General] Johnny.Bravo:
I switched to EXT4 as soon as it came out and I have seen nothing but improvements. Have you tried the midNIGHT ROM? ptfdmedic's stuff runs as smooth as glass.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
DK28 in general is not that great (it is unfinished afterall) and i've been back on 2.1 for some time now and the difference is like night and day. Battery actually lasts, phone is responsive, GPS performs much better, e.t.c.

Those eschewing the valour of EXT4 and DK28, kudos to you, but it is not great in my opinion having been through it all.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
It's a war of egos, nothing more. This is demonstrated by the complete lack of definitive proof offered in the argument (and I've been present for a lot more detailed arguments in IRC about the subject between noobnl and Dameon than have been present on this forum).

One side of the argument consists almost solely of "Well then why doesn't the Nexus S use EXT4 for the system directory?" on one side and "EXT4 performs better and has not been proven to perform more writes."

I have a lot of respect for noobnl and his contributions to the community, but you can't make a statement that EXT4 is going to cause people's phones to fail and not back it up with any kind of real logic or proof. However, counter-arguments from some very well-informed individuals have been made citing plenty of evidence that EXT4 will not harm your phone.

And lastly, you risk your phone every time you flash a ROM... something could go wrong, and you could brick your phone. This is much more of a risk than accelerated NAND block corruption is. We're not going to stop flashing our phones though, are we?

Regarding the OP regarding EXT4 performance, mine runs flawlessly. I haven't seen the stuttering some people have been reporting, my battery performance seems about even with RFS if not perhaps slightly higher, and perhaps it's my imagination but the phone seems ever-so-slightly more responsive. I've also checked my bad block count a few times over the last week and a half and I have the same number I did the day after I switched to EXT4. I've got no reason to go back to RFS...
[Epic 4G General] gmorf33:
Maybe the performance difference for people is no_journal mod vs those without the mod. I'm running Nebula with ext4 and have noticed some sluggishness/lagginess that wasn't there on ACS Syndicate (2.1), but i can't compare to RFS DK28, because i went straight to ext4 when i went to DK28. Can folks comment on whether or not they are running ext4 w/ no_journal mod?
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
Yeaa, maybe its the no journaling that's causing the responsiveness. Idk. I might try it again in a few weeks. But my phone was just pissin me off by doing the stupid little things. Plus, there isn't many files that support edify yet.

Imo, I think we should finalize one version before upgrading to an entirely new file system. It just seems to be more problematic to me.

So do you guys that like ext4 use the no journals?
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
I had a lot of lag with Bonsai4all with EXT4, was bout to give up, but decided to re-do it all and go to Nebula 1.06 and thing screams. I would try another ROM if you are having issues with EXT4, but thats just me... :)
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
Well, I have... I tried three different ones. Bonsai, viper, and quantum... all three lagged like crazy
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
And you are using the OTA, non-deoxed Dk28 to start from? I've heard that is key for EXT4.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I had lag issues and thought about going back to rfs. I figured I would try reformatting to ext4 again first. This solved my problem

[Epic 4G General] fczeuner:
With EXT4 I don't even have to touch my phone anymore. I just think about doing something and it's done! :D

Seriously, I'm using Quantum Rom 2.7 with ADW Launcher EX and it's Lagfree and Iphone smooth. Also try Move2SD Enabler on the market and put everything except widgets on the SD. Makes a big difference
[Epic 4G General] thesals:
After installing EXT4 I found all the Froyo roms more unstable than before. On all Froyo roms, I've found that my battery drains in about 4-6 hours when my bluetooth headset is connected. I also ran into issues with the phone switching in and out of roaming on its own. The battery seemed to constantly be hot.

Instability is not an option for me, as I use my phone daily as a work tool, as a field technician, I rely on my all day every day. I use it for calling in to my office and to tether my laptop while in the field.

Until theres an official 2.2 for the Epic, I've decided to stick with DI18 running Syndicate. definitely the most stable option right now.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
I was in the same boat.. I tried just about every rom with EXT4 and they all lagged like crazy.. now I'm running Mammons Bonsai 1.1.4 rom and its running as smooth as butter.. and without any battery calibration I'm currently at 17 hrs with 27 percent left.. one thing I did different with this rom is start from scratch.. I didn't restore my backup..

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
I haven't tried that approach. And I do restore my previous settings. I'll have to give that a go, prob next week. I still want to wait until all the files are ext4 compatible.

Thank you all for your input.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Ext4 seems to be a placebo.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Take any of the roms with rfs & ext4 support and run multiable bench marks with different apps and tell be if you still think its a placebo. If ext4 if installed correctly the phone is a smooth as butter.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
But my phone is alreeady smooth as butter...especially when I was on di18 with the 1.2ghz kernal....

I only notice a marginally better (if its better at all) score in the different benchmark results people posted.

Some people running ext4 had higher scores than my stock dk28 epic, but other ext4 scores weren't higher.

Its obvious that it just boils down to the personal confguration.....
[Epic 4G General] megabillzilla:
Nope, my phone is working better than it ever has.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I've been running ext4 with journaling since a few days after people started converting and haven't really noticed much difference either way. I don't think the bad block issue will be nearly as bad as it was made out to be and am sticking with ext4 for the time being. Whenever I have to Odin back to an image, I'll probably stay on rfs out of indifference unless the roms I like have all moved to ext4 only.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Running midNIGHT 2.6, ext4, did noobnl's quick version of dk28, let it restore data, and restored from My Backup. Runs great... only issue I have is almost always the first time I try to dial out, its just silent, think thats a rom issue. Anyways, tried all the dk28 rfs before It appeared I had no choice but to go to ext4 or back to di18 (extreme syndicate again...). So I tried midNIGHTs rom, and havent tried the others. under RFS, there were way too many bugs, so idunno if the devs have fixed that many errors in like a week (have you?), but since I went to ext4, smooth, and definately faster on the obvious things like creating launcherpro shortcuts, that are said to benefit greatly from the I/O... So... I think its working, faster, but still sketched about ext4, but I dont even like to OC/UV... just want the software to be optimized for the hardware. So ive got mixed feelings... just throwin in my amazingly insightful opinion.

Would definately disagree that it 'sucks', I would suggest the major proponents keep the procedure up to the minute for how to make it work best, the non-deodexed update.zip method, or whatever it is... so that those who have issues like lag etc. can attempt to correct a possibly rethought method to install ext4, as these issues SOUND a lot like bad install... just like with roms... The only really common complaint is lag, which a lot of us have quite the opposite. Maybe also detail your 'lag', as in what you are doing that lags so bad... because at times I wonder what youre expecting, and how bad it really is... not to belittle anyones issues, but give more detail so that if there is a fixable issue, the devs can find it.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I used the ext4format-no-journaling.zip found in the bonsia rom. It reformats to ext4 and shuts off journiling.

VIPERrom is very impressive on EXT4. Phone boots up in less than 20 seconds, applications load much faster than on RFS, and battery life is on par with RFS. EXT4 is simply amazing when it comes to speed.
[Epic 4G General] Strange Brew:
Just an FYI. Quadrent scores are faked by a small change in a system file. Dameon87 (quantum roms dev) has already proven that with a rom he released and just told everyone that he installed a "lagfix" for better performance. Later he came out and told everyone that was bragging about their quadrent scores that he made a minor change that did not accually improve phone performance but gave everyone a random score in 2000s in quadrent.

As for the ext4 and rfs confrintation. Ill stick with rfs because no matter if ext4 accually causes damage or not, I dont care because my phone is already screeming fast without any problems and don't see any reason for a change. When there is something that ext4 can do, that rfs can't, maybe ill switch then (like supporting microsoft silverlight or somethin of the sort). Running viper 4.0.2c rfs and loving every second I get to enjoy this totally sick phone! :) ALL HAIL TEAM VIPER!!!

And all you other great devs out there doing so much for our community.

Love, peace, and chicken grease!
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I have found if the ROM has dual support (rfs/ext4) it causes more problems,this is my conclusion after countless flashes from every ROM,and I always try them all,Im still a SDX crash test dummy at heart even though I develop now.It would be stupid of me t only try my ROM....Thats why I went for EXT4 only support in my ROM,and I have seen this work the best,with the fastest posted scores of every benchmark.
[Epic 4G General] AmnChode:
This appears to be the best route, in my book, for ext4 support...Once the partitions are formatted with the right options the first time, everything else is gravy...

[Epic 4G General] knx2:
Why don't you do your own research? Just because one dev doesn't like it doesn't mean he is right. Look up EXT4 and RFS. EXT4 is sooo much better. RFS is dead and based on fat.

Hello All! I have just ordered my new phone from Amazon and should receive it tomorrow. I hope to figure out how to use it as a modem for my Macbook while deployed for some military training. I have been reading as much as I possibly can about this phone and modifying it and feel like I'm trying to get a drink of water from an open fire hydrant....SO MUCH INFO !! I really appreciate the fact that you guys seem to be helpful and am looking forward to "moding" my new phone. I guess my first question is this: Is it possible to use this phone as an access to the internet for my Macbook laptop? I love this computer but didn't want the iphone 'cause it ain't apple's business (or AT&T's) with what I do with it and I don't like "Big Brother" telling me I can't put certain stuff on it. So, is there an app for using the Captivate as a modem for a Mac? Thanks and I'll deploy soon so hope to get this done by then.
[Captivate General] dingokevin:
Yes you can use by tethering or as a hot spot (wifi). To do this you need to flash a rom that will unlock the phone to be used. But make sure have a unlimited data. Flash Phoenix :cool:

Rocking dj05 and jt's voodoo 5
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
It would be in the DJ05 ROM that you installed most likely. If not, Titanium backup uses it. Busybox is a set of basic UNIX/Linux command-line tools, and some of them can help you get out of a jam via adb as well.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Busybox is installed as part of every root method I'm aware of. As it's been stated, it contains many Linux commands that are not otherwise included in the Android OS, and which are needed for root access to work properly. If you block it, I'm guessing that some or perhaps all of the apps you try to use that require root access wont work properly. I don't, however, have a lot of experience with it, so I could be wrong on some of the details.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
You yourself won't actually "use" it, in terms of using an app. It's all done in the background.
