Because of the newer kernel for Gingerbread (2.6.35.7) we need newer modules for cifs and ext4. Compiled them:
download here: http://xda.richardtrip.org/?dir=tab/Gingerbread/modules
Before you ask.... a tun.ko is not needed (compiled in the kernel).
Correct me if im wrong but will these modules give us EXT4 support on ginger ?

insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd2.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext4.ko
and it should work.
how to?
i have kernel 2.6.32.9
hmm .. i doubt about it ... the rom is very fast and as far its good , why do i need to go for ext4 if the ext4 suck the battery life ?

I have never heard of a file system sucking the battery life. If anything, FAT32 would be the worst used in practice today.

So really dumb, newb ( but learning so much so quickly ) question. Can I get my CIFS support back to stream videos on Overcome 2.0.0 if I use
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/slow-work ???
( think slow-work is needed from research )

Download the modules to /system/lib/modules/ (or anywhere really, just not the SD card) then load them using insmod. If you need them of every boot you can use an init.d script to load them automatically
For those of you who are inept, please find a link below to the same modules inside a CWM flashable zip.

Unfortunatly, init.d doesn't work in current version...
Tried to manually load as per instructions.
Didn't seem to do anything to assist my cifs manager. Figured I'd go back to my nandroid backup I'd made just before. Stuck on Samsung screen. on reboot after restore
Had to do a restock and rebuild. As say in previous post learning a lot ..........like always take an Nandroid
Think I'll be leaving this to the experts and wait for a new already compiled kernel

Cifs mananager doesn't help you. But it is simple to do that manually:
$su
#busybox insmod /system/lib/modules/easy-work.ko &&
#busybox insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
#mount -r -t cifs -o <YourShareName,login,password> <MountingPoint>
I use GscriptLite for that.

it just copy the *.ko to your /lib/module,you still have to add script inside init.d to make it load automatically when boot
init.d dobt supported in gb, seems to me

A tweak thats amazing and beautiful made my phone more buttery smooth so now i have underclocked at 13800 instead of 15200 the whole time! Battery life is more excellent and amazing liquid transitions.
What do these tweaks do?
Greatly improve the smoothness of your phone especially with scrolling
increase your phones repsonsiveness
for some it increases FPS and allows better gaming
Improves the HTC's Evo 3d, 3d quality
improves better I/O performance
speed up start up time
handles multitasking better
improves ext4 partition mounts
improves better cpu performance
least importantly it improves quad scores
Do NOT tamper with the files inside or else you will brick! I have used it, works perfectly, and you must use the BL version and you need the official CWM. Not the one you used to root at first. you can find it in the dev section

Updater-script issue?
Did anyone that flash this get an error in CWM Recovery that ends with an aborted installation? I've mounted /system and ran the script off my /sdcard/external_sd - unsure if I need this ran off my internal or not.
Additionally, the updater-script that comes with the BL version has blocks that don't seem to correspond with our partitions?
Original updater-script:
Code:
ui_print("Mounting System...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/stl9", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/stl10", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/stl11", "/cache");
I edited the script on my end; I assume that our blocks are different than the OP's device, but I haven't flashed it yet (will test that in a few):
Code:
ui_print("Mounting System...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26", "/cache");
If anyone has reported errors, do let us know what remedy you used to solve it.
EDIT:
No errors for me after script change, until it hits the wiping of /data/dalvik-cache (don't quite understand why the script fails here).
Including screenshots of post-tweak application:

Are you using a kernel that supports it that seems like a must before flashing and when you mount the system it then should appear as unmount hope this helps.

Hi to all devs here,
I am currently creating a new ROM with modified stock kernel. Currently I have basic features for the ROM and for my kernel, what I have is init.d support. I would like to add the following kernel modules:
DroidWall
Governors and IO Scheduler
BaCem
EXT4
Now, would copying the modules to system/lib/modules do the trick? Or do I need anything else? I'm currently new in creating custom ROMS, so any help/advise is greatly appreciated.
Also, can anyone give me the link for SpareParts.apk? I have seen many spareparts.apk but all of them are from creeds rom.
Thanks,
Carl
you'll need init.d script to call the modules. for bacem tweak, you should put the init.d script from irfan's thread since it also contain the script needed to set the voltage and fix the bug in bacem tweak. for another modules, you'll only need to call the modules in boot via init.d script. you can use these script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod <location of modules1>
insmod <location of modules2>
the modules are usually stored in /sytem/lib/modules so you'll need to replace <location of modules> with /system/lib/modules/<module name>. after boot you can check whether if the modules loaded or not by typing "lsmod" in terminal.
EDIT: you can find sparepart.apk in my thread about one pack tweak.

theoritically it will work only if your kernel support it and you have loaded ext4 modules before mount command. never interested to test it. ext3 is easier and better.

I know, but somehow i format /cache to ext4. Maybe. Coz when i create backup nandroid file is cache.ext4.tar else is system.rfs.tar and data.rfs.tar
And yes it show in /sys/fs/ext4/stl10 which mean /cache partition fyi i use my kernel that support ext4.
I want to change /cache from ext4 to rfs again but dont know how try with tick repartition in odin still no hope just stuck in download mode.
Code:
ui_print("Starting Operation...");
show_progress(0.1, 0);
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Formarting cache with rfs...");
format("rfs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl10");
ui_print("Mount cache with rfs...");
mount("rfs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl10", "/cache");
show_progress(0.1, 100);
ui_print("Done");
ui_print("All praise is due to Allah");
its an updater script. you can give it a shot
Hi devs,

i don't get it. do you mean the script used to call the modules? if yes, it doesn't matter where you put it. you'll only need to make sure that it run before another script, especially a2sd script or similar method. you can easily arrange the sequence by the number and alphabet.
2. How do I set the default keyboard for a custom ROM

if you still have the default keyboard, our system will use that as default keyboard. you can remove it so your keyboard will work as default but make sure that your keyboard is working since not all 3rd party keyboard could work as system app.

if there's no status bar FC issue the problem could come from improper method of compiling the apk. it sometimes happen when we use old apktool version. dxlc and dxle are using similar framework, you can try to use systemUI from another custom rom based on dxlc for an alternative if you can't solve that compiling issue.

I think it's kind of an dead end for us non developers to convert from EXT4 to RFS (The filesystem stock uses). Guide on how to do it with odin can be found here. Note that u can use Enhanced236. It's based on stock 2.3.6 and uses EXT4 as internal filesystem, the same as CM. Alot of people think it's the most bugfree ROM for GIO.

im pretty sure its something in the updater-script within the rom,you just have to change it from mounti ext4 to mounting to f2fs,someone in the dirtyv thread compared the commotio script and a slimkat one and made a slimkat f2fs,plus you have to use the kernel from the alpha commotio rom as well

Can you guys tell us the steps to convert any rom to F2FS?

How I changed paranoid (pa_maguro-4.4-BETA1-20140603) a f2fs compatible ROM.
1) Download latest dirty f2fs compatible kernel zip file. Extract the file "boot.img" to a temporary location
2) Download ROM zip file.
3) Open ROM zip file using 7-zip. Delete "boot.img" and replace with "boot.img" from the dirty kernel (saved in step#1)
4) Open ROM zip and browse to "\META-INF\com\google\android\". Extract "updater-script" to a temporary folder.
5) Open "updater-script" in a text editor. I use notepad++.
6) Replace string
"mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "/system");"
by
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
Again, replace string
"format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "0", "/system");"
by
"run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system");"
7) If you need to mount data partition add string
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");"
after strings
"run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system");"
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
8) Add string
"symlink("../bin/fsck.f2fs", "/system/bin/dump.f2fs");"
after
"package_extract_dir("system", "/system");"
also add string
"symlink("mount.exfat", "/system/bin/fsck.exfat",
"/system/bin/mkfs.exfat");"
after
"symlink("mksh", "/system/bin/sh");"
9) If you loaded data partition in step 7 you'll need to unmount it at the end by adding string
"unmount("/data");"
10) Replace original updater script the edited one in the ROM zip.
11) Done.
12) Seriously. It's done. Go test it out.
Basically, all(hopefully) this does is, it make sure that ROM's updater script formats/mounts partitions are f2fs, rather than ext4.
Again, I'm not a developer and have just a little working knowledge of what these commands might do. Use this at your own risk.
I've attached original and updated scripts that I've used. You can use compare (ctrlD) feature in notepad++ and see difference between them.
Hope this helps. All the best. :good:
To all the developers and smart people out here, please feel free to suggest changes, or let me know when there's a more comprehensive guide out there, so I can remove this and link to the improved post.
P.S. This might look complicated, but just takes about 5 minutes, not including download time.

I did exactly the same, however for slim there was no need to add some lines.
Simply, from what I saw, replace every line that has mount or format ext4 with the appropriate line for F2FS:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "/ANYPARTITION");
get replaced by
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/ANYPARTITION");
and
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "0", "/ANYPARTITION");
get replaced by
run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/ANYPARTITION");
obviously:
1.change ANYPARTITION following the partition wrote in your updater script
2. REPLACE ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY: I think you should not add MORE format partition lines than the one present before. Just replace what you have. If you followed the steps explained by AOSP inside the DIrtyV thread, you should have already all the partition F2FS formatted.
A useful thing to do if you have doubts (is what I've done) is to search if the rom you want to convert already has a F2FS version on another device and compare the scripts (without caring about lines that are different because of the different device). For example, I compared Grouper's F2FS slimkat to maguro one, and thanks to this I've understood that mount/format partitions thing.
^^ Lot better.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard if we modified this to work with our phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731666

I downloaded looked at the scripts and when I get a chance I'll try to do it for our device. Maybe this weekend.
There is like only 4 lines that need to be changed in omni updater-script. Am i right?
