Hi.
I just installed the new kernel from richardtrip with ext4 support and all that.
Now im wondering, Will all my data from my ext3 partition be removed if i convert from ext3 to ext4 from recovery?
+1 on that
No, you won't loose data but may have trouble updating images with no ext4 support in kernel.
Just tried it and all programs and so on is working like a charm!
Are there any benefits of converting to ext4?
I just want to have the latest stuffs available
Is it possible for someone to create a script to convert ext3 to ext4 and backwards.
I'v flashed my recovery menu with unrevoked, and clockmodwork doesn't support ext partitions in their recovery image.

This recovery allows you to convert your ext3 partition to ext4 (not backwards)
But you can easily do it within Linux using GParted
I've tried that.
When i start gparted it indeed can let me format back to ext3, only when i format back to ext3 i will lose my data on the ext4 partition.
I thought maybe there was a option to create a GScript script, so i can run it on my phone.
Have you try to mount ext4 as ext3?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
The ext3 file system is partially forward compatible with ext4, that is, an ext4 filesystem can be mounted as an ext3 partition (using "ext3" as the filesystem type when mounting). However, if the ext4 partition uses extents (a major new feature of ext4), then the ability to mount the file system as ext3 is lost.

PULL the files from the ext4 partition, then format it to ext3 and PUSH them back.

Hello all. Was wondering if Oxygen 2.0 final supports ext4 partition, or do i have to go back to ext3?
Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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?
Can someone explain to me how it is possible to change the ROM format on the device from ext3 to ext4?
What is to do to have DesireHD running on ext4 instead of ext3? Just simply convert the format will not work...
Thanks in advance!
You mean partition, yes?
Either by flashing melethron's ext4 format .zip (ext4_alignment.zip)
Or partition the card with some partition program (GParted, Easeus etc.)
i guess he was talking about the internal partition of his desire HD..all his post are in the desire hd section, he wrong forum
Is there any major difference between an ext3 partition on one's sd card and an ext4 one? Is there any point in converting an ext3 to and ext4 (using 4ext recovery)?
Also, if I did this, can I restore a backup made from my old ext3 partition into an ext4?
Edit: This has been covered before, I only just spotted the suggested existing threads feature. Damned if I can find the way to delete this thread though.
