ext 4 is what is supported by google. thats why the devs felt the need to change it. also the cm3 is the gingerbread recovery. so which also tells you that the newer phones have that file system. also if you did mess uo something then you just odin and it only flashes the stock file system. in my previous comment when i was saying quadrant numbers i said thats if your a numbers guy. but you will feel in actual use of how much faster ext 4 is. there is a reason that only ext 4 is being supported by the devs. and ee really that guy is gay. this frozen rom is AMAZING none the less. read the rom thread you will see why.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Rofl "and ee...really man? That guys a effing fag" rofl that's how that was interpreted. Rofl omg

Anyways, theres no downside to ext4? Nothing gets broken? I can't see that bein the case converting a whole filesystem...

Are .mkv's still supported?
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
EXT4 > RFS
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
LOL

Well...that gets to thepoint
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Odin puts it back to rfs?

Isn't that kinda unhealthy to keep flashing and converting the filesystem?
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
By even adding root access, you are voiding any and all Samsung warranties, and Samsung is basically off the hook for anything.

I doubt Samsung will ever support EXT4 officially, and the performance improvements is major.

There was a concern when EXT2 was testing, but that has pretty much gone by the wayside with EXT4

At this point, I am not sure why anyone would stay with RFS, unless they had a fav ROM or Theme that has not been ported over yet, and even then, I would consider running EXT4 while waiting for it to be updated. The performance gain is just that great, at least IMO.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Just to clarify, from an end user standpoint, I don't care whether I'm running EXT4 or RFS. I just think of it as FAT 32 and NTFS. Same hardware, different file system, no matter to me in daily use...on my phone, anyway. I'll just use whatever's required for whatever hack/fix/alteration I'm going to run.
[Epic 4G General] pg2k3:
EXT4 Is far more efficient than FAT 32 and NTFS will ever be. (It does not require defraging on physical head & platter HDD's)
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Yes odin puts the entire phone back to stock. No it doesn't hurt to be odin flashing. Its actually a good thing cuz if you had some irroneous data somewhere it will correct it and my phone runs sooo much better since I started using odin. Which was just when eb13 came out. Its very easy to use just use the wiki.

FROZEN EPIC
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
I went back to rfs when I was on the dk28 cuz the random reboots. And those reboots were on ask the custom roms. I reloaded ext on the new eb13 to check it out. Thank goodness I did! Not one random reboot with this eb13+EXT! I love it! And now with the oc 1.2 kernel with the camera blur fix, its even better! Also the bench mark score even beats the new optimus 2x dual core ppc on the gpu score. Do it, its worth it.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
If it helps, in my engineering career I've done all sorts of UNIX kernel work, including on the filesystem, drivers, and much more.

The underlying filesystem is completely transparent to kernel, system, and user processes that access it. So anything that works on RFS will work on EXT4 exactly the same.

Also, your concerns and reluctance to use this feature is not well-founded if you're willing to install modified, custom kernels. Honestly, the risk of bugs and screwing up other functionality with the coding changes all these devs are making TO THE KERNEL are far greater than using the virtually unaltered EXT4 drivers.

So, in the opinion of this experienced OS developer, you're taking they bigger risks and shying away from the trivial ones.

That said, there is a claimed risk of greater wear on the flash memory, due to limited writes before failure (hundreds of thousands), and the claim that EXT4 caused more writes than RFS -- as well as missing some protection for the flash mem through software algorithm performing "wear leveling".

Several threads discussing this are floating around the Galaxy S forums. FWIW, based on the technical discussions, and done good testing, I'm more than satisfied this is not an issue, and it seems the devs here are also not concerned.

The benefits of EXT4 are enormous... I'd urge you to reconsider!

[Epic 4G General] intx:
It's just like a harddrive on the pc in the fact that you can format your windows NTFS file system to install ext4 for linux, or you could even install HFS which is for Mac, you can freely switch between them as long as you don't try and have them interact and overlap(i.e you wipe entirely then convert the filesystem).

As long as you wipe properly, it'd be like switching between Operating Systems or even file systems within linux on PC.

Not harmful :P
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
This claim is dubious. I've not seen any data to suggest that ext4 performs more writes on average. If anything, ext4's delayed allocation should minimize writes.

Back in January when this was a bigger deal I wrote some scripts to collect I/O stats from the phones to compare between RFS and ext4 to determine which actually performs more underlying block device writes. I decided against releasing them as the numbers are highly workload-dependent, and I didn't want to inadvertantly contribute to some "proof" that either filesystem is worse through data that wasn't statistically valid.

Neither RFS nor ext4 do wear leveling. That's done in the STL layer, which exports the block device that RFS/ext4 is installed on.

I'm not sure I'd call RFS a "native" file system, although frankly the entire storage stack is non-native. The file system itself come from DOS, with POSIX permissions added as a proprietary bolt-on, which Samsung screwed up in its early iterations on the Moment (hence the LeshaK workaround). We also don't have the source code for it. In contrast, ext4 code is sitting right there in the kernel tree and has been heavily vetted over many years.

Long story short, if you're capable/comfortable enough to flash your phone with Odin, there's absolutely no harm in ext4 aside from the usual flashing caveats. Let's leave it at that.

Although for the record, I still use RFS, mostly because I was on DI18 until last week.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
And...this is why I love xda.

So, the pros are basically faster response times and more dev support

While the cons are the same as flashing anything?
[Epic 4G General] big_bake:
Only thing I've seen that was broken with EXT4 conversions is BT voice dialing. SyndicateROM Frozen has this working though.

I really see no reason to stick with the old RFS. Just about every dev has stepped up to CWM 3.x.x and EXT4. That is actually all I have done since 2.2 was released. I deff noticed a pickup in day to day performance (I don't run benchmarks)
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodeje79:
I've searched and read some good threads, but I failed to find THE ATT Baseband thread.

My goal is to confirm/discuss any concerns in regards to issues using different basebands for use on the ATT (AT&T) network here in the USA.

With different ROMs requiring different basebands, I was a little scared to try them. As an example, I am excited to try Trip's new gingerbread ROM once it is polished up, but it appears this will require a different baseband than what I use.

I've been sticking with 54 x10a version.

For listing of basebands, see rendeiro2005 's thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11471868#post11471868

Baseband Compatibility/Performance Listing when used on ATT Network:

55 (X10a) Baseband

I personally prefer that my phone automatically picks up the APN/medianet settings etc without having to input them manually. Although referenced many places already, I will go ahead and list this information here to.

I found Bama1965 's thread useful. Also depending on the ROM you use, you can go to the top of the Settings page, it says "Sony Ericsson" - select that, and it will automatically download the settings based on the SIM card.

[XPERIA X10 General] bestialbub:
the basebands are separated by version #, but i don't believe theres actually "i" vs "a" basebands, just roms.

i can report that flashing the .55 baseband w/ the latest .06 rom from rogers(x10a) gave me radio/cell, but i could not gain 3g/data/input apn.

the .55 baseband however worked just fine w/ the latest .06 generic/chek/hungary rom(x10i) as that rom doesn't have the auto-download internet settings removed from the "settings/sony ericsson" menu the way rogers does.

i would say my average connection on my x10 is between 2mb-3mb down and 1mb up. my torrent transfers have an average xfer rate of 200k-300k w bursts of 550s (5.5mb) but have gone as high 1050k.. thats 3g xfer rates.

my phone displays an "H" connection for 3g connectivity.

i'm in the socal area.

now, if i switch my phone to "2g/edge only" i still get 1mb up and between 0.7-1mb down.

2.2.2 has a security fix

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/02/google-spikes-21-malicious-apps-from-the-market-with-big-downloa/

thoughts?
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
My thoughts are simple: Sprint needs to get its **** together and release an official 2.3 release. And Google needs to consider some sort of authentication program for apps to be distributed in the Market.

Certainly don't want to cut the independent developer community off, but it shouldn't be their responsibility to release new versions of essential operating software that contain fixes that disable malicious exploits. They are here to enhance our user experience.

The manufacturers need to be concerned about what the deleterious effects of outdated software can open their networks to. After all, these apps had full internet access, as I've heard. Who knows if, say a DDOS attack (or something worse), could be possible using phones, and what kind of effects that could have on the stability of the entire Sprint network.

As for Google, I'm not suggesting that the Market be completely walled-off, but maybe having something like "Google Approved" or "Verified Secure" or something, would give us users more confidence that apps come from verified and vetted sources. We could still install things not verified -- at our own risks -- but at least we'd have a choice and be able to proceed with better, more complete information.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
+1 but i also think they should make an official malware scanner.
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
This.^^^^

I'm an Android convert (from iPhone), and my great fear is that the very openness we enjoy could expose us to very nasty ****. I don't wanna be locked down, but I do want some manner of enhanced security.

That malware scanner in combo with some sort of developer authentication and/or verification program would be excellent.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] awalt:
I updated to EnergyROM about a week ago, and my GPS only works in Google Maps. The GPS Test and other utilities do not see satellites.

1. I have run HTC GPS Test tool, and the $GPGSV info shows 16 satellites in view (I believe this comes from aGPS), but the 3 coordinate pieces of data are ,,, - meaning no data coming in. GPSTest also shows no satellites.

2. $GPGSA in HTC GPS Test second argument is 1, "fix not available"

3. I am on the latest EnergyROM. I have tried 2 radios, my original one that was in the stock ROM (4.48.25.20), and 4.49.25.95. I have tried with and without aGPS. I have tried some of the tweaks of the Intermediate driver settings:

A. With Advanced config: Start/Tools/Adv Config/GPS:

disable GPS logging

logfile name must be empty

old logfile name must be empty

maximum size of logfile must be 0

(soft reset, then...) delete the files :

\windows\GPSLogFile.txt and \windows\GPSLogFileBack.txt

B. Then edit registry

Under: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\

Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000)

Drivers\InputBufferSize -> 1024 (default is 4096)

Drivers\OutputBufferSize -> 1024 (default is 4096)

Drivers\SleepOnNoData -> 100 (default is 1000)

Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize -> 512 (by default not present, you have to create it as a New Value)

4. I have 2 AT&T HTC Tilt 2 phones, both configured identically (I move SIM card between them). Both are on the same ROM and Radio, and both act exactly the same - no GPS signals. So I don't think the GPS has failed, as it's two different phones.

5. External GPS set to COM4 (which appears correct based on the HTC tool seeing NMEA info on that port), hardware is set to No Port, 4800 baud. I also have it set to let Windows manage the GPS.

6. I have tried two versions of the Energy ROM, doing a Task29 in between; Feb 12 and Feb 27. No difference.

7. I run Bing, and it never gets a location. I do see my location in Weather though. Today Google only senses location to within 3500 meters; earlier this week it was 100 meters.

I am trying to be exhaustive and deliberate in finding the problem, but I have run out of ideas. Something must have changed, as I used this GPS all the time with Bing for voice navigation, and it was 100% reliable. Can anyone help with what could be the problem?

Thanks for your help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] awalt:
One additional piece of info, I just did a hard reset of one of the two Tilt 2's, tested without agps, no lock on satellites. I then turned on agps, downloaded data, tried again, still no lock. I am outside on a gorgeous day with hardly a cloud in the sky too.

Thanks for your help - I am just out of ideas...

i did download htc gps tools and found that if i had it in airplane mode it took seconds to find the satellite. if i had data communications enabled it took about 1.5 minutes. this was consistent.
[Wildfire Accessories] dawnofkardath:
I am wondering if there would be a possibility to get a audiosignal eg. linelevel via the 4p jack connector. As for splitting up the headphone output and the mic input and using the mic in with a shunt resistor to match line level for recording into one of the 4track Apps.

- Is there an acessory existing?

- If not, does anybody know the pinout of the jack plug and the impendance of the mic interface?

Anybody tried this jet?
[Wildfire Accessories] C4NCER:
I'd say it should be possible, as the headphones that came with my wildfire have a built in mic.

As a guess the tip and 3rd ring (both ends) of the jack would be the pins that should be used.
[Wildfire Accessories] dawnofkardath:
It works! Finally...

Last weekend i took same time to solder a solution. I managed to make a small box with a voltage divider (impendance changer) and the small 3P jack cable attached. I have now at the box a Potentiometer, headphone out and a more or less "gainable" mono Line in. I can now record 4 tracks of my Guitar into it. Using JZ2 its bit tricky due to the fact that no clicktrack works jet so i record one of the 3 Tracks with a Click and have 3 left. 2 for a mix and one for the recording and bouncing. Hope a metronome will be integrated in the app soon.
