Mystery is correct....It becomes very difficult to please everyone all the time and even more difficult to support multiple versions of the same release. I put up the poll in order to see what every one wanted. Overwhelmingly the preference was for EXT4 over RFS. I have personally not had any problems and I battery pull all the time...

Always back up your phone data with Titanium as Mystery said... The point of No Journaling was not so much the performance gain but reducing the writes to memory. Everyone was concerned about the "excessive"" writes and so Mammon fix the problem. Unfortunately when you are dealing with a community this large and only have a handful of developers it becomes the needs of the many over the needs of the few. It's nothing personal. It's just not practical anymore when almost everyone wants EXT4 No Journaling to really invest much time and effort in anything else.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2n:
[A] How to re-enable journaling on EXT4

I couldn't wait and wanted to test it; so here is how I re-enabled journaling:

before

/dev/block/stl9 /system ext4 ro,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

/dev/block/stl10 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

/dev/block/stl11 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

after:

/dev/block/stl9 /system ext4 ro,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

/dev/block/stl10 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

/dev/block/stl11 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

further confirmed by:

tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl9 | grep features

Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode filetype extent sparse_super large_file

tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl10 | grep features

Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode filetype needs_recovery extent sparse_super large_file

tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl11 | grep features

Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode filetype needs_recovery extent sparse_super large_file

so what i did was:

booted into recovery (vol down + camera + power) with Clockwork 3.0.0.6

performed a backup

mounted & wiped: /system

mounted & wiped: /data

mounted & wiped: /cache

performed a restore

rebooted the device

i'm going to run this for a few days & see if there are any issues or benefits....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
RFS is basically FAT32 with journaling so it's not much of a file system. You're much better off using ext4 with journaling for better perfomance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeEx:
Some EXT4 ROMs with 'no-journaling' execute 'fsck' on boot while nothing is mounted; This should fix any problems having 'no-journaling' enabled.

At least that's what Randy_T said about bonsai.

EDIT: not tune2fs... I meant FSCK
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
While that may be true for some of the options with tune2fs the -l switch only lists the partition parameters.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2n:
So far my only issues are 3 apps that are not functioning but they also could have been broken before I modified the filesystem. The apps are:

Google Search

Voice Search

Youtube

Both search endlessly loop with requests to share location details, youtube just force closes immediately.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
Honestly when netbooks with SSDs first appeared tests were done on the difference between ext2 (non-journaling FS) versus ext3 (journaling FS) and the results were negligible. The real difference in speed was using the noatime parameter during ext3 mounts, which most of the ROMS already enable, and the use of data writeback mode if you didn't mind the slight additional risk.

The problem with Android is that you can't fsck the partition prior to boot with a kernel parameter as with a typical Linux box if you have a dirty shutdown. Now as was mentioned before some ROMs may run fsck during initramfs, but that slows down the boot process plus you can't interact with fsck.

Based on these factors it's really more prudent to use a journal then without one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
I only said it that way because I only have the following experiences:

1. EXT4 without journaling

2. RFS with journaling

Yeah, but capital L didn't work either. What worked was adding .ext4 to the command. Go figure...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapsLockKey:
I had a similar problem and it was suggested to me to try and clear data on google services framework. Fixed it for me.

My problems were FC's on YouTube and the Weather/News app always asking me for location permission.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qstarin:
I tried this exactly, from midnight 5 BYOR that was working perfectly, and now upon rebooting I'm hit with a barrage of force closes. Tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and Dalvik, but still get tons of FC's when I boot. I'm re-restoring, and if that doesn't work at least I can reflash the journal enabled midnight 5 :D

EDIT: Re-running the recovery fixed it, sweet. Verified I do have journaling enabled.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenaciousj:
Journaling enabled ftw.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2n:
I removed the YouTube app and downloaded it from the market; which now it is working. So only my search is still broken. I just updated to v1.1 Syndicate Frozen ROM, and began retesting everything. So far no issues but I left the search uninstalled.

Still haven't seen any difference in performance and battery life with journaling enabled.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwags:
I understand that this works for enabling journaling but I have a question as to why this works and when would journaling be disabled again, like after a reboot etc
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
The file system tweaks that turn off journaling are in the ROM install update script. Restoring a Nandroid backup only restore the information/data on those partitions bit for bit but does not initiate those tweaks. Journaling will remain on until you reflash the ROM again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevyfan061:
sorry if i seem like a noob but how do you "mount and wipe": /system, data, cache? do u do it though mounts and storage? and do u format it? sorry a little lost as i have never went into mounting and wiping /system, data, cache etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Can be done through adb shell. But I think it would be the same as doing it through Clockwork.

BONSAI 4 and loving it!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoo:
so a wipe of cache/data would be enough? Is there a specific way to wipe data in cwm?

THanks in advance :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w2n:
yes, you need to first mount the partition you wish to wipe; as always do a backup.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazinglarry311:
Wow, 7 pages and all anyone could do is debate ext4 journaling.

I came to this thread to find out exactly this, took me five minutes to figure out after playing around with tune2fs.

Here's your solution:

Reboot to recovery and unmount the partition you want journaling enabled back on.

The same command to disable journaling is used to enable, but with one small change, no ^.

Example used is the data partition as it appears on my g2

tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p26

No format/restore required.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
Don't forget fsck..

Busybox umount -a -t ext4

Tune2fs -j -c 5 -I 5d -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/stl9

Fsck -Dfy /dev/block/stl9

Tune2fs -j -c 5 -I 5d -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/stl10

Fsck -Dfy /dev/block/stl10

If I recall correctly that should add writeback journals to data and system partitions.. can do ordered or regular journals if you'd prefer. It also forces fs checks every 5 mounts or 5 days. Must be ran from recovery adb or an update zip, because it won't let you unmount system otherwise
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedevilslettucemd:
HAH this made me laugh. What a pathetic attitude, smh. Btw, *laugh, *know HOW easy, *whole, and *an apk. Talking about your ability to destroy your users' phones is definitely not a good way to gain trust as a developer here. Why am I not surprised after the way you handled the VisionKernel epidemic, you didn't seem to give a damn and blamed it on user error until 50 people had permanent bricks. This is why the Epic forum is the worst forum on XDA, too many kiddies and devs with horrendous attitudes.

So I don't post without contributing something, I agree that turning journaling off is a terrible idea that has been forced on us by many developers. It is true that having to reflash (or restore a daily backup which takes up extra space on my memory card) every time my phone drops or an app fails is obnoxious and unnecessary considering the performance gains are totally negligible.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dito33:
Journaling off is useless what's the gain vs what u have to do to get up and running again. Testing new apps which some FC causes phone to freeze then go to your backups etc.. but what about your work and things u did in between that's lost. Just my 2¢
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JettMartinez:
Make a back up in CWM and then restore it. For some reason that usually turns journaling on.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidNotMaster:
I wanted to enable journaling manually by writing in adb shell

/data/tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(I haven't got Samsung Epic 4G), but I get 'device or resource busy while trying to create journal file'. How can I free my sd-ext partition for a while to enable journaling manually?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Assume that you're doing this when the phone is on, you may have to unmount the sd-ext partition (though I don't know how). Or easier, you could do this under CWM recovery, with SD and sd-ext unmounted fron the "mount and storage" submenu. Hope this could help.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] leith51:
Not quite the same mate second zip says it all when charging its numbered

Plus its just the framework .apk its a case of replacing the framework in the Rom to make the battery icon become default battery in the Rom losing nothing

Restore your back up and follow the guide the zips I attached work great and or not flashable on their own via cw have to do it the long way but it does become part of the Rom as default its easy thing to do and works great

maybe because he trying to flash over the the notification power control with new framework which would rewrite the whole thing would it not

I think its more to do with googles relaxed attitude to the market. Apple strictly controls app store content. Where as google takes a more relaxed approach.

There's a whole lot of ground to be covered between Google's approach to managing the Marketplace and Apple's draconian style. They should actively monitor for fraud, piracy and other security issues.

Sure the security holes were patched by Google a while back, but since they can't/won't force vendors to patch the OS, then they need to keep the Marketplace a "trusted" repository. Users still have the option of installing non-market apps if they want to do something that would violate whatever security standards were in place.
