I'm not sure about the suckerpunch kernel but on speedmod you can just boot in to CWM recovery and select advanced Speedmod ULK features then install root/superuser...:)
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
Can I run ext4 file system on leaked Froyo with no custom rom? I've searched but cant find exact answers. If so is there a how to i'm missing or can somebody please explain how?
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
I think the rom has to built to run it but I am like you I'm not sure. The best thing to do is do is try and if it doesn't work just odin back to stock and start over.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You need to get either the ext4 kernel or the dual fs kernel.

I would suggest going to this thread and doing the conversion the original way. Then flash something like the original acs-dk28 and finish with an ext4 compatible kernel. It is easier than it sounds. Just remember not to reboot after converting to ext4 until you have an ext4 kernel on there or you'll have to odin back and start over.

I ordered the iPhone from Verizon for my wife and was planning on using it til the thunderbolt cones out. I've been an android enthusiasts for a while I just wondered if I was going to rott in hell for this one, its like going tobthe Christian church and then becoming a satist. Or so I hear. I'm just ready for some good battery life again, I should be ashamed of myself

I disagree, the iphone has amazing hardware and software and the app store is unrivaled. But it's a shame that Apple doesn't allow for a little more freedom.

[Off-topic] Mark Uhde:
I don't understand the iPhone hate in the world. The psychologist in me says there must be some jealousy. The iPhone does some things very, VERY well. It's beautifully designed hardware. It's very reliable and generally just works.

That said, there's a few reasons I like Android better:

- Better, less intrusive notification system

- More freedom in what to use - no apps blocked out because of stupid rules (think Google Voice)

- Swype keyboard availability

- Google Maps GPS

But the iPhone has:

- Better Applications, especially games

- Better hardware design (aesthetically) than any Android phone

- Less platform fragmentation and more regular updates

If Apple licensed Swype, and created something other than their pop-up notifications, I would seriously consider switching. No questions. Both are great products and should be recognized as such. Windows Phone 7 is also very nice for those who only need to do what it can do.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I'm surprised you don't hear it said more often but i've always seen the iphone as more of a ladies device, whereas Android is more for the gents.

Is that just me?

Men are generally more practical and we enjoy our tools, (ahem), ladies like to accessorise.
[Off-topic] hungry81:
the first two your points for the iphone are subjective. for your third one, Forced updates are not necessarily a good thing.

Here are my subjective counter arguments.

Hardwarewise the iphone is lacking, (Sd card? USB port?) and is easily broken (not to mention antenna fail)

Software wise the iphone is lacking (neutered bluetooth, boring interface) The apps and games are not all that different to android, both markets are being constantly updated.
[Off-topic] Ampicillin:
Apple have to release updates very often , Because its the only one phone apple got , So, they can easily do it but other OEM Cant do for all models :p
[Off-topic] Mark Uhde:
Sure, I'm being a big subjective, but so are you with "boring interface." The iPhone 4 is glass and metal. Premium materials all around in a way nothing compares to. Neutered Bluetooth? I quit caring about Bluetooth the day I got a smartphone. Bluetooth (when not crippled) is great on dumbphones, but seems to me to have little purpose on a smartphone. As for the "antenna fail" - it's mostly myth. People I know with iPhone 4's are getting great reception. You basically just have to avoid touching it on the antenna breaks - which are easy to see and clear to avoid, and they're not in places where MOST people would touch it in the normal use of the phone. The only way you'd really naturally touch them is if you're gripping the phone with your whole hand.

I'm not saying it's perfect, I love the flexibility of Android. I'm just saying - there's some things that Samsung, Motorola, HTC, etc could learn from Apple on.
[Off-topic] vbetts:
8 gb internal memory, has a link cable. AT&T had the antenna issue, issue fixed with Verizon version. AT&T network also part to blame on that too. The SD card and USB port are more like features, not actually needed.

Bluetooth works just fine for communication, and the interface is to each their own. I like it a lot. The apps and games I've seen and used on Ios are a lot more polished than those on Android. For a good reason though, Apple has control over the apps. Android has an open market. Plus, in my opinion the games on ios are way better. I only thing I like in games that android has that doesn't need root, are emulators.

I like both platforms, I wish frash would be more developed for ios. I might be getting on Verizon and getting one, if not probably gonna get the Thunderbolt if the LTE is only $30 and not $50.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
u cant justify a phone that has one button cuz its "simple to use" and then start going around bragging how superior it is technically , its simply a dumbed down toy phone , an overpriced piece of style made for blond women

and if thats what works for you , well that says something about ya ;)
[Off-topic] wearmaize:
That comment makes no sense whatsoever. An iphone is not simple because it only has one button. It's built that way because that's what the software needs.

even if it's the other way around (software optimized for hardware) the iphone is not a "toy phone". It's as fast and powerful as most android devices.

Apple's guidelines are a different story and it hampers the phone, but as a device, it can go head to head with any current android phone.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
in short , i believe u meant to say : the revolutionary software is built around one magical button
[Off-topic] Mark Uhde:
Guys, seriously, what's the point in arguing this stuff. It just screams of jealousy. The iPhone 4 is great hardware. It's very similar inside to a Samsung Galaxy S. The screen is smaller, but higher resolution - different for different needs. The design is very elegant and classy.

The software? Eh, it's fast and looks good at first. I hate the popup in-your-face notifications though, and it's rather repetitive.

The App Store? This is where I really start to hate the iPhone - the "you can't do that because we say so" attitude. This would be fine if sideloading apps was allowed, but it's not. And THAT is my big issue with the iPhone.

But arguing that the hardware isn't very high end is silly. And the one button isn't even to make it simpler, it's not - having physical buttons is easier. It's to make it more minimalist and look nicer. The same reason by the time Apple finally started including multi-button mice with Macs, they did so once the technology was in place to make it look and feel like a one-button mouse. Sure, the one-button mouse was slow and hard to use. But it looked good. The new Apple mice are amazing though - one physical button, but a touch surface that recognizes where you're pushing on the mouse. Likewise with the new Apple trackpads - one GIANT touch surface with no discernable button, but it works great! The old true one-button Apple mice though were a crime against humanity - and there's a reason almost nobody professional actually used the mouse that came with their Mac in those days.

Yes. It definitely is just you. I'm sorry but that's just unfair of you to say that. I most definitely AM A LADY and, I wouldn't be caught dead with an iPOS. Please don't generalize like that again.

I'm not sure where I sent this from.... or how I did it
[Off-topic] wearmaize:
It's a button that does the same as the home button on any android device. So android can search or go back using physical buttons, there's no inherent difference that those options are built into iphone UI.
[Off-topic] FLAC Vest:
I completely agree; we like to spend more time tinkering with the phone, customizing it to our liking.

I do see a lot more women with iPhones, and the women that i do see with android phones (galaxy s or whatever), use all stock applications and launchers and maybe have Angry Birds on there or something.

Hello Fellow Clockwork recovery users

question in regards to the resolution of the recovery screen on the wildfire

is it just me or does it not quite fit the screen corectly? like word wrap is turned on? looking at other images on the net it looks diffrent, like its fit better.

is there a setting or config i can mess with to fix this

sorry for bad english im dislexic

Cybertyk
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
The other images u saw are from phones with much higher resolution screens which can accomadate more text per line. We have a very low res 240x320 screen, with which you either can't fit everything or you have to make the text smaller making it harder to read. In clockworkmod readability is given preference over fitting everything.
[Wildfire General] cybertyk:
I thought that might be the case thank you for sorting it out. Shame there is not a configuration that gives you the option lol.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdamo305:
U didn't flash his kernel right.

Go to the dead horse thread.

Go to page 48 I think???

And a guy quoted the tutorial.

I used that after.my phone kept going into a bootloop.

But I also got rid of that kernel when my quadrant scores were like 400 less than voodoo.

[Epic 4G General] snovvman:
A link or a file, either would be great. I keep finding CW 3.x and 2.5.1.0, but never 2.5.1.2 for Epic. Please, someone point the way.

Many thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
To get to .2 boot into clockwork go to advanced and reboot recovery. That should put you into .2
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
This thread is where you need to go. Get the one-click ext4 zip. Inside it is a file called prepare.zip. Flash prepare.zip to add 2.5.1.2 to your phone if the rom you have doesn't already have it. Then, if you death-grip into recovery, you will see 2.5.1.0. Select advanced->reboot recovery to reboot into 2.5.1.2.
[Epic 4G General] snovvman:
Thank you guys. I do need to flash since I never have flashed 2.5.1.2 prior.

I also found a similar file inside the viper 4.0.2b ROM package.

Follow up question, inside the flash, in addition to the recovery files, I see:

/system/etc/mke2fs.conf

/modules/ext4.ko

/modules/jbd2.ko

I presume these are for ext4. I plan to stay with RFS for now. I was looking for 2.5.1.2 because I want to use the latest Bonsai ROM (coming from stock DK28) and it seems to call for it, even with RFS. Will these extra files cause any issues later?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I don't think that is going to work with Bonsai! 2.0.0 or > howeverif it does work please post your results in the bonsai4all thread
[Epic 4G General] snovvman:
Thanks for pointing this out. I mis-read the post. In the original post, while beneath the "Latest News", it is written that RFS not supported in V2.0, immediately below that, under "Next Release News", it is written that "No more RFS...". Based on "Next Release", I thought it would be the version after the current. That, along with the instructions on the second post for RFS, I falsely figured...

I guess it's all for not.

I am stuck at SAMSUNG anyhow (after Reboot Recovery from 2.5.1.0). Can't get to 2.5.1.2...

Edit: On the Stuck on SAMSUNG issue, I re-flashed the latest 1-click from HERE, then re-flashed the .2 prepare/flash first .zip, and all is good. I can get into .2 now.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
So the big question is whether you can create a swap disk with 2.5.1.2?
[Epic 4G General] asdfghjkl:
I flashed 2.0.1 with no problem using 2.5.1.2 but i was already converted to ext4. Flashing it would put you on ext4 and add cwm3
[Epic 4G General] mjben:
now that I know how to update it to 2.5.1.2 my question is-

should I?

I have no real reason to do so. I don't intend to do any further modifications to my ROM, just going to stick with the pre-rooted 2.2 I have. Would there be any benefit to updating CWM in this case?
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
The only reason to get 2.5.1.2 was to be able to flash to ext4. And then cwm 3 simplified the conversion to ext4. If you don't intend to convert to ext4, then there is no reason to get anything other than 2.5.1.0.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
It adds ext4 and negates the need for cwm3 iirc.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
I keep thinking about getting a Xoom or something else Honeycomb when they come out. The one thing I keep hitting on is how and how much I would use it.

As I type this I'm looking at two computers with two monitors each, a 360, and a ps3, then I have a old tube tv in the other room with a Nintendo, Genesis, and a PS2 hooked up to it.

Sometimes I do sit in front of all that and use my "little" 4.3 phone to surf the web, but not a whole lot. When I had my Hero all I wanted was something bigger, the Evo hit that perfectly!

What are you guys thoughts on tablets in general?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Looks sexy
[EVO 4G General] shdwboy:
I really want a tablet. Especially the xoom! Looks sweet. The price tag is high but it looks worth it. Itll be a while before i could get anything like that so have to see what comes out after that. It being a official google device makes it better tho.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
A year ago, I did not want one..I have changed my mid. I could live with my Evo till the end of my contract if I had an awesome tablet to play with. I spend a LARGE part of my day surfing the web on my phone. After owning the Evo, I could see myself LOVING a tablet. After seeing Honeycomb, I lust.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I have an iPad. I use it to play games and to browse the web when I'm taking a dump. Those two things alone keep me on it for about 2-3 hours daily.

I'll probably get an Android tab eventually but for now the iPad works fine for my purposes.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
...which has a very underwhelming CPU/GPU and a still non fully working port? Even with a fully working Honeycomb ROM it's not really worth it.

As for tablets, I don't really need one but I'll probably get a one soon. It's going to be between the iPad 2, Xoom, and maybe even the WebOS tablets.
[EVO 4G General] foueddyf:
Actually for me it's the other way around. I used to dream of having a tablet but now that I have an evo, i don't see any point of getting one.

Having a 4.3 and another 7inch device, even 10inch is just overkill.

Besides, once we get dual core phones, there won't be any point to get a tablet beside screen size, which is not that much of a difference.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I agree... Especially since sprint hoooooeeeed us all out of our prime membership upgrades. I'd rather pay for a new tablet than full price for a phone, and just wait for my 2 year upgrade to end.

$500-600 for a new phone when i still have my fully capable evo that runs silky smooth and 99.99% of the apps on the android market

ORRR

$500-700 on a tablet with a much bigger screen and capable of running dungeon defenders....

Thank you sprint for taking away my upgrade because I never would have considered getting a tablet otherwise......................................................................................................assholes :D
[EVO 4G General] kcrudup:
FWIW, I'll give it a week to let users shake it down, and if there's nothing really busted I'll be getting a Xoom.

Tried a few tablets already (Viewsonic G-Tablet, Huawei Ideos, Galaxy Tab) and really want one in a 10" form-factor (so, no Galaxy Tab) with a decent screen and touchscreen (so, no to the other two).
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Its horrible this is such a good point! I've been giving Boost some real serious thought and the money I save could be a great excuse to spend the cash on a sweet tablet. The only catch is it seems like all the good tablets are signing on to a carrier.
[EVO 4G General] lacrossev:
Xoom is a bit steep for me, so i'm actually gonna wait for the Asus Transformer, which is supposed to fall between 400-700, i'm guessing 16/wifi, 16/3g, 32/wifi and 32/3g with $100 seperating them. The specs for the upcoming devices all look similiar enough that it really falls to build quality and any additional features, and i like the idea of a 10inch netbook form factor where the screen comes off.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I was interested in the Xoom but I want an wifi-only version and I'm not willing to pay as much as a laptop [or more] for a tablet.

Moreover, the Xoom is pretty unattractive considering the likely-hood of a unlockable bootloader.

Before I go pay that much money for a tablet ill just go buy another laptop with 10 times better specs. I pretty much feel the same way I did about when the ipads came out.. not much in terms of being useful for me.
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
For everybody saying laptops better fill the role remember the way the world is moving. I believe the xoom could accomplish most everything a laptop could, especially once developers start making apps for it. The specs of the zoom are amazing as well,.and its portability and "fun of use" will easily best out any laptop... Some books may be up to par.

Im just iffy about the multitasking on honeycomb to be honest.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
A tablet will never replace my laptop... not unless it comes with a TB HD, a top notch graphics card, office, sql, access, etc. It's not really even practical for me to use one as a replacement. If I were to ever get a tablet it would be strictly for a casual/fun type thing.

This is an interesting quote from http://fineoils.blogspot.com/...

"I don't like the figure of 1823 for Quadrant on Xoom. The Viewsonic G-Tablet, a tablet with an awful screen, can get around 2200 or more on A2.2 on the same Tegra2 SoC. The miserly 1823, even if it looks like twice of your phone's score, might indicate that this Xoom device runs on a single core. Or the whole present build of Android 3.0 does so. Don't tell me that current version of Quadrant doesn't know a fig about existence of multi-core SoCs, or Androids thay may or may not support SMP: G-Tablet was benchmarked with the same Quadrant, very much unoptimized and crippled Depper-blue's A3.0 on NC is around the same 1800 mark."
[EVO 4G General] SoFLO.:
I'll avoid the Xoom since it's Moto and will probably be overpriced however I am looking forward to getting my hands on a Honeycomb tablet (I have my eye on Toshiba, HTC, and ASUS). My EVO would definitely stay with me for the full two year contract.
