I have the no journal mod on my phone and it makes it a little more snappier.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
If you dont wish to use journaling why are you not using ext 2?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
You silly goose. We don't have ext2 for are phones yet

That's some subtle trolling.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Just in case wiki isn't being clear. Here is what the difference between journaling and no journaling.

scenario 1 w/ no journaling:

you surf the web, pull down image > data written to cache > save to disk

if your phone crash and reboot then you lost the image that's being pull down

scenario 1 w/ journaling:

you surf the web, pull down image > data written to disk as image loaded

if your phone crash and reboot then you have the image save as much as it was downloaded.

Final point: it's no big deal whether you have journaling or not.

scenario 2 w/ no journaling:

You work on a very important spreadsheet as you hit save > data written to cache > save to disk

if the software have recovery feature, and the phone crash before you hit save, then you lost all changes prior to the last saved because the temp file that the software use wasn't written to the disk.

scenario 2 w/ journaling:

You work on a very important spreadsheet as you hit save > data written to disk.

if the software have recovery feature, and the phone crash before you hit save, then you get to choose the recovery file which is the temp file that constantly being written to the disk.

The difference: hours of work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Isn't the ext system just the file system for Linux based systems? Like FAT and NFTS is for Windows? And isn't ext2 the precursor to ext3, and ext the precursor to ext4? Like FAT, then FAT16, FAT32, etc? If that's correct, why would we want ext2 in the first place if we have ext4?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
The benefit of ext 4 over ext 2 is journaling or stability on a cellphone. If your not worried about error correction or saving files before a crash then ext2 should be used as it is way faster. You think your ext4 scores improved, ext 2 would blow that away. When I was on the moment ext2 was used but people were concerned about the reliability. doesn't make much since if you turn the journaling off to use a slower fs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Thanks for the info. So what's the limitation of ext2? Meaning, if it's so much faster than the newer file system, ext4, why would the devs even bother making ext4? Does it allocate blocks of info better or hold more info? I haven't been able to find much useful info online concerning ext4.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
ext2 was created before there is journaling option. In a way, journaling is kinda like after thought for ext2. But if you look at ext file systems, they are written for linux and mostly for PC. so, power requirement isn't a big issue. So, it's inherently by design that ext2 which have less feature and build back in the older system would use less power. I think ext4 is basically ext2 on steroid. Better journaling and larger file/partition size limitation. So, the size limitation is a non issue for such small platform like smartphone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
Im not that advanced with the two myself I just vaguely remember the back and fourth when this came out for the moment on sdx. there's nothing wrong with ext4 but for a speed junky with no concern for the safety net ext2 boast faster speeds. That being said, wer dont need yet another fs to have to support with themes/roms. now as fast as your pc, you will definetly benefit using the ext4 system. In that case ext2 is obsolete to a point.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwillzillla:
Thanks for the helpful info guys. I have yet another question. When flashing another Rom, do you always have to re-flash the no journaling even if you've done so with the previous Rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
You better be very careful when you flash "another ROM". First not all ROM support ext4, and not all support no-journaling. I'm not well verse in the XDA myself either but from what I understand, at-least in the linux space, you can format w/ or w/o journaling, and then there is option disable on boot also, but the kernel has to support it. So, it's all depend the kernel you use support it or not. I don't think ATM, there are many/any tools in Android development space that support conversion between journaling/non-journaling, and especially when going back to RFS. There may not need to be a conversion between journaling and non-journaling since those are technically just how data being handle upon written to the disk, so data structure on the disc should be the same. But, I'm not entirely positive about it. So, I would avoid switching between ROM which doesn't support the same format as it was originally format.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helchez:
I could be wrong this but the op's question regarded tehtering speed. Now I can see the advantages/disadvantages of journeling while using the phone directly to surf the web but if you are just using the data sevice through the phone on another computer/laptop would you really see any of the advs/disadvs?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
The answer is yes:p

I mean, because the data only passing through, and your phone is acting not much difference than a router, so there should no any difference in speed. or maybe at best how the tether app load, unless of course the tether app is busy writing log file or something.

How to sideload for samsung captivate?

1. Download Terminal Emulator from android market (or any terminal).

2. Go to this post on your samsung captivate.

3. Copy this Below

su cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings

sqlite3 settings.db

update secure set value = "1" where name = "install_non_market_apps";

.quit

reboot

4. Your phone will reboot and you can sideload. try to download an app from pandaapp.com.

Hey guys...I have a spare PC that I just converted to a Hackintosh. Everything went flawless with the install of OSX, but when I plug my Captivate in, it forces OSX to tell me I need to power it off and power it back on. I've tried this multiple times. I've even set the phone to have USB debugging on, and the same problem continues. Anyone have a suggestion?
[Captivate General] jordan5555:
Hmmmm

Ive never herd of this problem. It could be because its a hackintosh. I have a macbook pro and the captivate connects and does everything perfect. If you used a custom rom on the phone that can be an issue. It could be a bad flash. If you have stock then im not sure what the problem could be.

Sorry hope you fix this problem!
[Captivate General] jamgam:
Probably not going to be much help but I have a hackintosh and my phone and PC play nice together

OSX is telling you the phone needs to be rebooted? Am I understanding that right? I can fiddle around and see if some settings make mine do the same thing
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Are you using a pure vanilla untouched OS X build, or one of those crappy thrown together modded kernel deals.

Used to triple boot Windows, Linux, and OS X on my laptop before it fell off a table.
[Captivate General] ih4ckback:
if you're running a vanilla build then it should work but you probably aren't. what version of OSX and what distro are you using? I suggest posting over at insanelymac since this is most likely a hackintosh issue.

[Captivate General] farmercyst:
i dont have any problems with my captivate and my hackintosh. using the vanilla kernel.
[Captivate General] Ethere:
Thanks for all the replies everyone. Here's the rundown:

I installed OSX directly following this guide:

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html

I am running Cognition 3.04 on my phone. And the minute I plug the phone into USB, this is what I see on the screen. This is not my computer, but it's an image I found on google images, but that's the exact error. I guess it's a kernel panic.

Doesn't matter if I have USB debugging on, or not. I've pretty much exhausted everything I can think of at this point, unless someone else has a suggestion. On my Windows computer, the phone is seen just fine btw...not sure what the problem could be.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
"Telling me to reboot" and "kernel panic" are two very different things.

Now it's definitely a problem for these guys:

[Captivate General] Ethere:
Yeah, I posted a thread right on TonyMac's website too and they had no clue as to why that happened. Thanks for the link Mike. I'll check it out with them and see what they suggest.

this may be related

From the Heimdall ( http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ ) FAQ:

What platforms does Heimdall run on?

Linux, OS X and Windows (XP, Vista, 7 etc.)

Although Heimdall runs on OS X all Galaxy S devices tested thus far contain a bug in the secondary boot loader that prevents the device registering itself with OS X. This may change if Samsung release an updated secondary boot loader.

Update: Samsung have released an updated secondary bootloader that corrects the issue. The correct bootloader is included in the official Froyo release. Obviously you have to get Froyo on your device somehow, but from then on it’s smooth sailing.

Note: Keep in mind if the version of Froyo you’re running is not official then the updated Sbl.bin may not have been included.

First try to enable airplane mode. Then turn it off.

If that does not work check your apn settings, under wireless and network, mobile networks, access points

Doing that now.... The signal bar indicates no connected network.... Trying the second thing you suggested....

For the second option I am under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Points.

What do i do from there?????
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
That reads correct. Unless you are on rogers. Hmmm. I am on the same rom but do not have the same issue. You may want to manually configure you're apn. You may want to search the captivate forum for at&t apn settings. I think you can find them in one of the stickies

to reinstall wm6.5, just start phone in bootloader (hold volume button down when turning phone on until you see the tri-colored screen) then flash a stock rom.

you can get an external battery charger for pretty cheap on ebay and use it to charge the battery outside of the phone. Or if you know someone who has a hd2, maybe they will let you use their battery so can flash wm6.5.
