Hello all. Was wondering if Oxygen 2.0 final supports ext4 partition, or do i have to go back to ext3?
Thanks!

No, it doesn't, if you want to use ap2sd, you should convert ext4 to ext3
I just installed Oxygen 2.0.1 and my ext4 partition works.
Yes it does support ext4
it works with ext4 partition, but when I run mount in terminal it shows ext2. Is ext4 features working then?
Hi all, I just used CW Recovery to make a 1gb extra partition but don't know which version ext it made. Can someone provide me with some code to write in my terminal to line up my sd-card partition. Thanks.

Afaik cwm makes ext2 by default, check with 'mount' from terminal, look for sd-ext and if will say ext2/3/4 next to it.
Thanks man.
It seems that the cvm provided in the [Nightly]CM7 thread made ext4 filesystem, atleast that's what I have but it could be the data2ext mod I flashed that converted the ext2 to ext4, I don't know.
More chance that the data2ext mod formated your partition with ext4
[(KERNEL)] A dumb question about EXT4
a)Flashed CWM Kernel + EXT4 tools app. Converted system to EXT4.
b)Flashed Speedmod Kernel K15H. Convert RFS to EXT4 via recovery
c)Flashed Talon Dev 0.2.2. Automatic Convert system partition to EXT4.
1)Are there various type of EXT4?
2)Do I need to convert system into EXT4 each time I flashed a kernel?
3)Why each kernel could not recognize the system already EXT4 converted?
How do I verify the system is in EXT4? CWM EXT4 tool could not recognize ETX4 if you flashed with others kernel.
Can someone explain? many thanks
1) Ext4 or Ext4nj (nj stands for non-journalized), using Ext4nj is only for non critical data.
2) No, the new Kernel must try to know if you're already in Ext4, if it doesn't, it's stupid.
3) use the "mount" command in a terminal or via adb, if you see Ext4 in line with /system, /data, etc. etc., you're under Ext4 Lagfix.
No, there is no different kind of ext4. If you flashed stock rom with odin between each kernel transition, know that this reformat the file system to RFS. Ususally, i use chainfire ext4 tool to know if my FS is in ext4. Also, you should not haveto worry about changing FS to ext4 again after changing as you only change the kernel and not the FS. Next time can you post your question in question & answer sub-forum plz.

true that there is journalised and non-journalised, but both can be mount the same way and are seen the same way by the system.

Thanks man. I would strongly agree that each kernel should try to reconize the EXT4. Somehow, this not the case.

Hi. As i said. Once you flashed another kernel, chainfire ext4 would not able to identify wheather your system is in Ext4. I'm using custom rom not stock.
Just to add on, frequent converting from/to Ext4 would cause some app to be force close. You have to reinstall the apps. What the hack!
I'm currently on ext 3 can i just go to ext 4? The rom im on is rcmix I haven't updated for ages I want to put a new rom on but everything appears to be on ext4 now including new recoveries? I'm confused and don't want to ruin my phone can someone help please?

Yes. You can go from EXT3 to EXT4 any time.
The ROM that you install, should support EXT4.
And for recovery, i would recommend you use 4EXT Recovery. It has options for EXT3 <-> EXT4 conversions.
i hear ext4 has a backward compatibility with ext3, so there shouldn't be any problem switching
Is the partition on the e4gt ext4 and if not can we flash the ext4 format.zip that they use on the evo3d? I know it would have to be modified?
Its already ext4...
