The theme apk's in the zip will be for both RFS and Ext4. But the zip file for ext4 must be coverted to use edify scripts. So you can not use a zip designed for ext4 on a RFS system or RFS on a ext4. From what I have seen #'s of downloads is ext4 is 4 to 1 ratio. That number might start to change with some the problems with ext4 causing FC's and random reboots.

Something nice is on the way rfs. Probably a week at the most. in the mean time if you like pink

Ext4/RFS questions

Hello I'm new to the epic 4g and now that I have it rooted and ready to rom, I've read on different threads where people talk about being either "ext4" or rfs. What does this mean? I'm afraid that ill do something wrong and mess up my phone. if somebody could explain to me the difference it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

EXT4 and RFS are file systems. Just about every Epic rom other than Stock uses EXT4 because it's the faster file system.
Oh ok that makes sense. So then how would I go about converting to ext4? Would I need to do this before I flash a rom?

Installing clockworkmod 3.0 automatically puts you on the EXT4 file system.
Sweet. Thanks man one more question, what's up with all the ECO5, EB13 stuff and something about updating your modem?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
EC05 is the most recent update. You have to update your modem through ODIN in order to have data/ service work correctly.
Thanks for the info

You don't HAVE to use Odin to update the modem, there is a flashable zip around here somewhere also. Plus if your comming from stock you should be able to update to stock ec05 OTA (over the air) if your not already on it. To check what build/modem your already on go to settings-about phone-baseband version
I just checked and I'm on ECO5 right now

Your choices are only CM7, MIUI, or the new stock MTD ROM. You have to repartition using Odin to go back to other ROMs besides those.

If you want to run an ei22 based rom that is not available on mtd yet, dl the ei22 mtd build and delete /system folder on there. Then add /system folder of the ei22 based rom of your choosing and bam! Mtd
Edit: I am 90% sure this will work. If it does, let me know and I will post in general.

How to install theme??

I want to learn how to flash themes but don't know how....I'm running clean gb 1.0.5 ei22.....if it says acs does it mean it must be flashed with acs recovery? And what are some good themes
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No it can be flashed on any recovery
All you do is wipe cache partition and the dalvik cache in the advanced section. Then flash the theme.
If you like ICS go get the ICS 2.1 theme by GituSum, Shake and Bake by TravisMoreno. There's a lot just look at the themes section and look through the post they have screenshots of what they look like

You can use acs recovery if your on bml but not if your on mtd... any theme can be flashed with cwm 5.0.2.7... Well first determine if your on bml or mtd as the steps are slightly different... if bml- download theme and place on your sd card... boot into cwm... wipe cache and dalvik cache... choose install zip from sd card... find zip and flash... reboot... now for mtd... same steps as before but before choosing install zip from sd card go into mounts and storage in cwm and mount /system... now choose zip from sd card and flash... now unmount /system and reboot... all the themes are pretty good but its all about personal preference when it comes to themes... look in the themes thread for ei22 themes and look at screenshots to get an idea of what they look like... hope this helps!

Everytime I try and install a theme using these steps it just gives me a black screen and will this work on cm7????

NO! You have to download themes, usually the market is a good place to start and you use theme changer in your apps drawer to change between them.
Don't know .... never tried it I use the theme chooser not themes I don't know that they do.....

Try another browser. Some of those links will take you to the market. I viewed them all on a laptop to see the screens better. Try Dolphin or Skyfire.

Cant mount system in CWM

Hi
I cant mount system to make backups..
Anyone knows how to fix??
Im running gioprio 1.4
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
That happened to me, when I was using the "stock" cwm with CM7.1.
I had to flash another cwm which came with the rom. Maybe you should look around if the Giopro rom has one too.
(Or just simply try to flash a newer version)
I will try, do you know if gioprio uses rfs or ext4 file system??
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
I never used it, so I have no idea. But this post suggests, there are problems with ext4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21281244&postcount=392
The changelog however says, 1.4 supports EXT3/EXT4

[Q] Updater-script for stock

Hey guys,
I have unpacked a stock 2.3.6 rom and unpacked system.rfs, but how do i make the updater-script with what i can install it in CWM? I want he rom to be in Ext4, so there must be something like: mount (ext4/.../...) in the script right?
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Thatgrass
Ui print
Format
Mount
Install system
Install data
Symlink
Set permissions
Install kernel
UI print
This is the standard list, you can take mounts and wipe from another roms updaterscript

So can I copy updater-script from an other rom? Or at least symlinks etc?
At least format, mount, and kernel,
But note that mounting is EXT4 and not rfs, and kernel name is stated right or it wont install

but how can i create a whole updaterscript? typing??
Uhhm yes..
Use another one as base and edit everything to match yours...
Ui prints are easy, but symlinks take some more time
