[FIX] ext4 for JPM/JP6

Hi,
in case that anybody of you was using Mimocan fix (ext4 on the external SD), here I have attached libs for enabling ext4 on JP6/JPM (without modifying kernel).
I'm personally using ext4 partition on external SD, and loopback file on this partition formatted in ext2.
That way I'm getting 2000 in Quadrant, and the phone is working fast.
Here is my userinit:
Code:
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/slow-work.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/jbd2.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/fscache.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/mbcache.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/ext4.ko
busybox mount -t ext4 -o noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdcard_ex2_mnt
busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/sdcard_ex2_mnt/linux.ex2
mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue /dev/loop0 /data/ext2data
busybox mount -o bind /data/ext2data/data /data/data;
busybox mount -o bind /data/ext2data/app /data/app;
busybox mount -o bind /data/ext2data/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache;
P.S. Thanks for darkbyt3, for making slow_work module!
P.S. 2. Also in the archive is NILFS2 support for those who like experiments , and CIFS by darkbyt3.

thanks for the info.
linux noob question, but where does the userinit file live?
im used to editing scripts in /system/init.d but that was on a custom rom.

Sorry for being even more of a noob, but can you tell me how to apply the mimocan fix for JPM/JP6 step by step please, I would love to be able to use it.
I have tried all the lag fixes and nothing comes close to what I had with the mimocan fix, even though you get better scores none of them were as smooth as mimocan fix.
Thanks a lot really appreciate the help.

Like u did i tried many lagfix, feel less lag with voodoo or mimocan compare others, but least lag with combo of voodoo or mimocan with minfree (autokiller preset aggressive). Give it a try...

Hi, sorry for the questions:
How i can do this fix?
Thanks

Isn't there aversion without debug information? 3mb for a kernel module is huge

Maybe, the size is irrelevant for this kind of using these modules - anyway I copy them to /data where I have plenty of space.
Ext4 is working fine, however if used separately without loop device it doesn't produce speed increase, differently from eclair builds.

I did it manually, and it have lots of steps. Probably if you were not using mimocan's fix - this lagfix is not for you. You need to repartition sd card, format it, create loop device, and then manually copy data there.

Well It may contain errors, but I am doing like this:
1) Create second primary partition on the external SD card and make it EXT4 (easiest to do it in external card reader, using PARAGON or GPARTED). And format it of cause. Choose size, for example 1Gb
Remember that first primary partition must remain FAT32
2) Put the card back to phone.
3) You need root and terminal (adb or any terminal on phone)
4) copy modules from my first post to /data/local/fs_jpm/
5) run following commands:
Code:
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/slow-work.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/jbd2.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/fscache.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/mbcache.ko
insmod /data/local/fs_jpm/ext4.ko
mkdir /data/sdcard_ex2_mnt
busybox mount -t ext4 -o noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdcard_ex2_mnt
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/sdcard_ex2_mnt/linux.ex2 bs=1024 count=800000
Change 800000 to any size of loopback file you want (here it is 800Mb)
Code:
busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/sdcard_ex2_mnt/linux.ex2
busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0
mkdir /data/ext2data/
mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue /dev/loop0 /data/ext2data
cp -rp /data/data /data/ext2data/
cp -rp /data/app /data/ext2data/
cp -rp /data/dalvik-cache /data/ext2data/
mv /system/bin/playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogosnow
copy files from attached system_bin.zip archive, to /system/bin.
Code:
busybox chmod +x /system/bin/userinit
busybox chmod +x /system/bin/playlogos1
then just reboot.
After reboot you can check that correct mounts are used with
Code:
mount
command.

Thanks a lot, I am going to try it now.
Update: it keeps failing, I am getting `Failed (Operations not permitted)`. I don't know if anyone can help.
I tried it with Tayutama's latest rom.

At which point are you getting the error? Maybe you /system partition is read-only? try
Code:

data2ext for HTC Hero & G2 Touch

Hi!
I was experimenting with the data2ext script made for the Desire in following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859419
Now I managed to get it working with HTC Hero and Flykernel12a and Amon RA-s recovery v1.7.0.1 .
MAKING THIS WORKING IS A RISKY OPERATION! DO NOT START IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE OR YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA!
So here is what I made:
- make backup of your entire SD card, because we are going to repartition it, so all data will be lost on your SD card
- reboot to recovery and MAKE NANDROID BACKUP of your existing configuration!!! Then stay in recovery mode, and copy your NANDROID BACKUP to a safe place on your computer from the SD card!!!!! DURING THE OPERATION WE WILL ERASE THE WHOLE SD CARD!!!
- wipe your cache and dalvik-cache (only this 2, NO factory/data reset!!)
- connect to your phone with "adb shell" (while in recovery!!)
- in the shell execute following commands:
(do this only if you have active app2sd and your app/app-private/dalvik-cache directories are on the SD card EXT partition)
mount /data
rm -rf /data/app
rm - rf /data/app-private
rm - rf /data/dalvik-cache
mkdir /data/app
mkdir /data/app-private
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 777 /data/app*
chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 /data/app*
chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
- now we will copy back the apps on the nand
mount /sd-ext
cp /sd-ext/app/* /data/app
cp /sd-ext/app-private/* /data/app-private
(no need to copy the dalvik-cache content!)
umount /sd-ext
- so now we have all our app on the nand again. next step is to put the 04data2extV4 script into the right place
umount /data
mount /system
exit
(now leaving shell to copy file)
in the command prompt execute:
adb push pathtothescript/04data2extV4 /system/etc/init.d/
adb shell
(back to shell again)
chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/04data2extV4
chown 0:2000 /system/etc/init.d/04data2extV4
rm /system/etc/init.d/05mountsd
(remove script which mounts SD card differently)
rm /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd
(remove script which makes app2sd)
umount /system
exit
(now leaving shell)
now we have to repartition your SD card to 2 ext and 1 fat partition. For this use the utility1 I uploaded which is modified version of the original utility in /sbin.
in command prompt:
adb push pathtoyourscript/utility1 /sbin/
adb shell
(back to shell)
chmod +x /sbin/utility1
(now execute the utility)
/sbin/utility1
choose 0 from menu: Partition SD 2 EXT 1 FAT (can set sizes)
enter the first EXT partition size (min. 3-400, I use 1300 - values are in MB)
enter second EXT partition size (min. 2-300, I use 300 - values are in MB)
the rest will be configured for the FAT32 file system
On the first EXT partition you will store the whole /data
On the second EXT partition you will store the /data/data in a loop file
Now we are hopefully ready to reboot, the rest will be managed by the 04data2extV4 script, wich creates the ext2 file systems, converts them to ext4, stets file system option such as journaling where needed, etc and copies everything from nand to ext4.
I hope this works for all. I reached Quadrant score for total system score about 455, without data2ext I had about 400. But I have a Class4 SD card. On class6 I'm sure it will be even faster.
Again, it is risky, so take care.
The boot process can be long, because at the first time it will copy the whole /data directory to the first EXT partition, the data/data directory on the 2nd partition, and will recreate the whole dalvik-cache (remember we wiped!).
Enjoy
Regards,
byr2
PS: in the RAR file you will find an FSTAB file. I removed the /sd-ext mount option from it. If you have trouble, try to replace the fstab file in /etc to this fstab file or remove the /sd-ext mount option from your fstab

Thank you for this.
Just a few questions. The EXT partitions, are they EXT 2, 3 or 4?
Are you using exactly the same script as ownhere? As in, you use exactly his method, aka the following one:
"I would like to share my Data2EXT script, a collection of data2sd(Thanks to sibere) and the advantages of ext4, you can let the phone run at peak efficiency.
I use EXT4 for whole SD 2nd partition, and create a ext2 loopback device with 1/5 size of 2nd partition.
The files in /data/app,/data/.systemapp it not updated frequently. so store them in EXT4.
In /data/data and /data/app-private, a lot of small files and sqlite database, is updated frequently. so store thenm in EXT2 loopback device.
/data/dalvik-cache is stored in phone memory /mnt/asec/mtddata for distributed IO pressure.
/data/misc, /data/system, /data/property is stored in phone memory /mnt/asec/mtddata for system settings restore(or you will lost your timezone/language settings after reboot).
use this script, I can get quandrant score:2000+, IO:4000+, my phone is smooth and quickly."
Are you running this stable? Reboots? All apps show after reboots?

Hi!
The two EXT partition is EXT4 partition. The script I provided is based on ownhere's script, wich is modified only in a few places.
For example on hero I do not have a /system/xbin/mkfs.ext4 like he had, but only a mkfs.ext2, so I have to create the EXT4 partition on a different way. Also the loopback device is set up in a different way than in the original script.
But what you quoted remains so, which means I did not modified any location of storage files, nor did modified filesystem parameters. First EXT4 ha no journaling ,second EXT4 has journaling, ext4 loop device has no journaling.
You can diff the two scripts to see the difference, but an example here:
Original part:
/system/xbin/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -m 0 -F -L userdata /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Modified part:
/system/xbin/mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 -m 0 -F -L extdata /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/e2fsck -y -v -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
As you can see I create an ext2 partition, check it, and with tune2fs I convert it to EXT4, check it again, and set the same parameters ownhere has set.
for loopback device I use:
$BUSYBOX losetup /dev/block/loop1 /mnt/asec/extdata/ext4
$BUSYBOX mount -t ext4 -o loop,sync,commit=3,barrier=1,nouser_xattr,errors=continue,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /dev/block/loop1 /mnt/asec/tmpdata
the losetup is needed, because for some reason it won't mount as loop. But this way it is working.
Other parts of the script are untouched.

"Are you running this stable? Reboots? All apps show after reboots?"
Till now everything runs OK, no reboot, all widgets, apps, settings were preserved. After reboot also everything OK. Made some phone calls, no problems so far.
Just with Class4 SD card the speed gain is not as huge as expected. The IO performance is slightly better, but not too much. I've read posts on CDMA Hero forum, where they managed to get quadrant score over 700, but I'm sure not with a Class4 SD card
But the funniest thing in settings is: Available internal phone storage: 1,17Gb

Excuse me for the noob question, but what this process basically does is make the entire phone run off of an ext4 partition on the SD card?

No, not the entry phone, just the /data directory is moved to ext4 partition (wich is accessed frequently by the OS, and where applications and application related data are stored). The kernel, firmware, etc. remains on the NAND.

I wonder what one does when flashing a new ROM =/ You have to go through this procedure every single time? What does AmonRA do when you Wipe Data/Factory Reset?
So essentially the differentiations are due to the fact that we lack a /system/xbin/mkfs.ext4 (since we only have an ext2) and you turn the first EXT4 partition into a non journaling one to fill the lack of that, if i understand correctly.

If you flash a new rom, then all this is gone, since if will overwrite the /system/etc/init.d where our data2ext script is located. So you're right, you have to do this every time you flash a new ROM. A solution would be to pack this script into the ROMs, so it would work out of the box without this hack mentioned in the first post.
The data/factory reset wont work I think, because it deletes from the nand, but since our data/settings are not on the nand but the SD, it will have no effect.
the first ext4 partition is non journaling because ownhere write the script so. You can read in his post why he choosed to do so.
The first EXT pratition where /data is stored is a EXT4 part without journaling
The second EXT partition where the loop file is stored is an EXT4 part with journaling
and the LOOP file which contains an EXT4 partition without journaling
from ownhere's post:
"EDIT:2010/12/12 update V4 script:
/data/:ext4, disable journaling
/data/data:ext4 loopfile on ext4 device, enable journaling on ext4 device, disable journaling on ext4 loopfile, for fast and stable sqlite3 access.
really smooth this time. please trying..."
This is the setup here also.
byr2

I see, the script is essentially the same, with your own critical changes to fit the Hero.
Now what i am trying to understand is what happens when you want to flash a new ROM.
Say you place the 04data2extV4 script in the new ROM's /system/etc/init.d and remove the other two scripts if they exit (05mountsd and 10apps2sd). Does this mean the partitions and this whole process won't have to be repeated?
Also when installing a new rom it is recommended you wipe data and system, if AmonRA doesn't wipe, what do we do?

Well, I've not tested to install a new rom, but let think:
- the partitions are preserved on your SD, so repartitioning is not needed.
- but as you mention all data/settings are currently on your SD, so a wipe does nothing with it, and if you simply put the 04data2extV4 script back to init.d I think it will mess things just up... but if you just delete everything off the two EXT partitions I think it will be fine

That's the only limitation i have so far as to not attempting this.
I wonder if i can mod the AmonRA Recovery to delete the content of those 2 partitions instead =/
I'm going to have a look.

Nice work!
By the way, I was thinking. Why not just make an ext partition, add a line for it in fstab and set the mountpoint for it to be /data. What would happen if I tried this?

Byr2.... just wanted to say this is first thing i read today and without coffee all I heard was
Blah blah blah dangerous blah blah blah faster blah blah risk blah blah even faster
Lmao
Once I get my head working it should prove interesting though
Thanks for this experiment

ok, sitting down at pc now, drinking espresso...
this is starting to sink in
Instant benefit is huge storage space which, coupled with the method used, ought to have a general performance improvement over previous ext-based apps2sd, right? if so then removing ext-based apps2sd and using this script concept instead seems like a good plan if, for example, every rom builder switched to this concept and removed old apps2sd stuff simultaneously. Does that sound right or wrong?
if you have a fast sd card then the speed benefit should be very good, better than using ext-based "apps2sd" since it's the actual data partition on the ext card.
and I too would like to know the answer to the brief question someone already asked - what about just setting a mount point to data on the sd card and doing it that way in simple linux fashion? I'm not bothering to think this through - coffee's still kicking in - I'll leave the intelligence to you folks who are already awake.
IMHO this idea of yours is quite brilliant as a goal (well ok, it's not your idea, but you did it first on the gsm hero . The thing that slows my phone the most is reads and writes to phone memory and to my stock sd card. I can upgrade the sd card but the phone memory writes are still slow. This would improve the speed of the largest file writes when managing my apps and installing from the market which we all know brings our phones to a standstill briefly during installs and so on.
How's the performance when installing apps? does your phone still crawl for a bit at those crucial moments or is it all somewhat less of a dramatic slowdown now?

Hi All!
Well, If you do not change the ROMs frequently, it should not be a problem that ROM developers do not include this script. However till now only one ROM developers have taken care about this opportunity, I think it was Cronos. They have a modified ROM wich supports this kind of functionality.
The speed gain over app2sd comes from storing the whole data partition on a faster SD card than the internal NAND. As my tests show a class4 SD card is slightly faster than the internal NAND (not much, say about 5-10%). A class6 SD card could be much more faster. All application access the data partition to read and write settings/data. Even the Frimware stores things there, so if you have a fast SD card, overall system performance could be great.
Not to mention about stored data space. With app2sd you only store the downloaded apk-s on the EXT. With data2ext you have extra space for the application data/settings/cache wich size is determined by you and your SD card size ! (See screenshot!)
A simple fstab modification could work, however the script does do a lot of things beside copying everything to EXT. It also sets up some symlinks during every boot, so a part of the script is needed always. Also there is 2 EXT partitions, and the /data/data is stored on a 2nd EXT partition in an EXT4 loop file image So it's not that easy to simply mount it via fstab.

Seems your's almost the same...
The key is this:

How is your phone performing? Was everything OK?

Everything seems to be ok )
There is no more sticking when new apk installed. Quadrant score around 500.
I have Class 10 sd card (prooflink).
But I have had a little problem - not enough nand space to hold all of my apks, so I've decided to push most of them via adb from my laptop after Hero's reboot.
Quadrant score not so high as I expected, but anyway I'm happy =)

if you push it via ADB after reboot, than it should get to the right place
The quadrant score is affected by 3D and CPU also, but can you feel the "speed" while testing the IO? Does it run fast? How long is the DB read/write, FS read/write?
I'm happy someone else could get this thing working

[Q] Internal/External Memory Swap

So, I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 Running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1, and I'd like to trick it into thinking my 64GB SdCard is the Internal Memory.
So far, by using Script Manager, and this Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated/0
busybox mount -t exfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/shell/emulated/0
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:33; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard1
fi
I put it here: /system/etc/init.d
And tested it here: /data/
Running this makes all my apps stop working, and after a minute can no longer access the settings even.
When I plug it into a computer however, it is reading my Internal storage as the 64GB Card.
Any help is Appreciated!
This is some code I found and edited, so I'm not entirely sure of the Mechanics behind it.
Here are the Credits:
#!/system/bin/sh
#extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa.
#With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage
#and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The resut is a very big increase of installable apps on gs3

mounts2sd - increase internal storage

I have saw some requests here for increasing internal storage and only few solutions.
Because needed to use similar tool in the past on mini defy with only 512MB ROM I've tried the same tool - Mounts2sd - also here on C1905 running cm11.
All what was needed was prepared microSD, init.d script which mounts second ext4 partition and Mounts2sd application installed from Google play store (but available also here in XDA forum on application home page)
For testing it was used 4GB microSD card with first 1.9GB vfat partition and second 1.8GB ext4 formatted partition, m2sd was configured to use cm11 busybox and to move applications to SD card.
Mount sd-ext script was copied to /system/etc/init.d directory with permission 755.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
blkdev=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
mntpoint=/sd-ext
mntpoint2=/mnt/media_rw/sdcard2
mntpoint3=/storage/sdcard2
# otherwise m2sd complains: The system partition is S-On protected...
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -o remount,rw /system
if [ ! -d $mntpoint ]; then
mkdir $mntpoint
ln -s $mntpoint $mntpoint2
ln -s $mntpoint $mntpoint3
fi
mount -t ext4 -o rw,errors=remount-ro $blkdev $mntpoint
unset mntpoint
unset blkdev
unset mntpoint mntpoint2 mntpoint3
exit 0
You can use script also self standing on rooted phone and run it every time you would like to have second partition available.

Script to survive CM update.

Thanks brother, nice guide, on my list for weekend.

[TIP][TRICK][SCRIPT] ISD for Link2SD #2P, ESD as ISD, 300MB ESD, VM#, NTP.

I will now tell you how you can use the whole internal SD card for Link2SD's second partition and use your physical SD card in place of it with a 300MB "external sd". *Only works on non-emulated sdcard supported devices.
Requirements:
A rooted ROM that supports init.d scripts. I use The Blu Kuban.
Link2SD.
A physical compatible MicroSD card. If you don't have one, this will not work.
Either ADB with a text editor, PC, and USB or an on-phone text editor. For PC, I recommend PSPad. For on-phone, I recommend Jota.
[size=+1]I provide this information with no warranties or guarantees and I only tested it on the Sprint Epic 4G Touch and The Blu Kuban ROM. Use it at your own risk.
Please note that this *only* works if your ROM does *not* use the "hidden" partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) for system apps.[/size]
Install Link2SD. It will yell at you because there's no second partition on the SD card. Just ignore that.
Two Options (Option 2 is untested and might not work at all given that the SD card(s) may or may not be mounted when the script runs and prematurely mounting them before the vold.fstab file is executed might break the bind when the vold.fstab file is executed):
Make a file named "11link2sd" with the following contents, copy it to /system/etc/init.d, and give it 777 permissions ("chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd"):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#added by link2sd
LOG=/data/link2sd-11link2sd.log
echo "$(date) mounting..." > $LOG
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
mount >> $LOG
echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG
Make a folder on your internal or external SD card named "link2sdext2" (the name is arbitrary, but I will be using it in the script) and make a file named "11link2sd" with the following contents, copy it to /system/etc/init.d, and give it 777 permissions ("chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd"):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#added by link2sd
LOG=/data/link2sd-11link2sd.log
echo "$(date) mounting..." > $LOG
# Leave out "/external_sd" if you are using your internal SD card.
# And check the path, it may be different for your ROM.
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/link2sdext2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
mount >> $LOG
echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG
Edit the file /system/etc/vold.fstab. Comment out (prefix the line with "#") every line that starts with "dev_mount" and add the following lines:
Code:
# Mount the physical SD card to /mnt/sdcard
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/cyasblkdevblk0
# Mount the "hidden" partition of the eMMC to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
# Depending on the ROM, you may need to change this to something else.
# Check the lines you commented out for the actual paths for your ROM.
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd 12 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0
* Basically, you're just going to remove "encryptable_nonremovable," swap "/devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0" with "/devices/virtual/block/cyasblkdevblk0," and change "11" to "12."
Reboot and start using Link2SD to move/link your data off the /data partition.
I have attached my 11link2sd and vold.fstab for your convenience and illustration. It is *not* a flashable ZIP on purpose, every ROM is different and flashing the scripts blindly may have undesirable consequences; however, both files work on my phone: an Epic 4G Touch from Sprint with The Blu Kuban 1.0.5.4 ROM (ICS FL24 4.0.4).
