[Guest emptyara]

What can I made wrong? After IPC tranfer start a lot of "untracked pid xxxxx exited" ... (ext4 tryout)

Edit: OK! work now, ext4 there we gooooooooo.

mate, how u made it work?? please share with me... :huh:

[Guest kyda]

i want my android running in ext4 partition.. but cannot make it work with those command line.. i am sure i need to use "sudo".. but since i am not ubuntu literate, so am not sure what are the proper command line with "sudo" and any other additional command needed.. would anybody here please list out the command line for beginners like me?

by the way, my ext3 partition located at "sdb2"

just run sudo -s to become root user, a very powerful user.

you can execute commands without sudo from then on, dont have to worry which command is which,

[Guest kgp700]

if you have permission error?

then format in linux or ubuntu root account

i got that line after enter last command "sudo fsck -pf /dev/sdb2"

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2

disk: One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid. FIXED.

disk: Group descriptor 0 checksum is invalid.

disk: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.

(i.e., without -a or -p options)

Just use this comand:

fsck /dev/sdb2

and give y and enter

after each question to fix

You need use zImage for ext4 uploaded by kgp700

[Guest slmz]

EXT4 is faster but I got freezes a lot... :huh:

I just finish install android to my I8000L, everything running well. But when I install apps from "Market Place", it's fail and prompt error like not enough space.

2. 4.0GB EXT4 Primary Cluster 4KB

Storage Card

Your partitions 1 and 2 are much big, try its in 1GB min 2GB max

[Guest greatwiseone]

On a different topic from the current ext4 discussion, it seems that the battery life problem for some of us may be solved just by rooting and using setcpu. I started using setcpu yesterday and keeping processor speed at its lowest when the screen is off, and I'm basically getting a good 10 hours from my phone (with some usage here and there and not even on 2G only mode), which is WAY better than before.

Almar says that this issue is because wifi can't go off properly, so just reboot your device and not turn on wifi, when it sleep drain charge will be low. I tested it and see that its true and now I dont use more setCPU nor 2G only, and sleep work after I reboot my phone and no activate wifi.

Could anybody tell me how to unpack the ext2.tar.gz to ext3 partition? I only have XP in my PC. I can't setup Android in ext3 partition. Thanks!

I'm guessing you mean on to 'my storage'... search around mate the instructions have been posted at least 50 times in here.

I'm not trying to take the piss on you mate but thats the reason why this topic is so big coz ppl keep on asking the same questions again and again even after its been answered... and it is kind of frustrating!!!

Tell you what though.... I've uploaded a screenshot of this forum pointing out where u can find some help!!! and this is for everyone who don't know how to search!!!!

cheers!!!!

Thanks a lot, it's working now.

[Guest muchospesos]

EXT4 is faster but I got freezes a lot... :huh:

+1

No freezing when plugged in. But when I unplug I get only a few minutes before freezing :).

And I can't download anything from the market. But my ext4 is a bit over 2gb so that might be the cause...

But when android is shutdown in ext4 by pulling the battery out there's no file corruption like in ext2..

no freezing her

i tried to run Android on ext4 FS without success. i did the following: create a copy of the previously installed android system with the linux tar command, then i format the linux partition with ext4 under Ubuntu and untar the backup copy to the newly created ext4 partition, also through ubuntu.but the system wont boot up afterwards and i got the following message "init: /init.rc: 139: invalid command /system/bin/dhcpcd.... user option requires a user id. have i done anything wrong? thanks for advising

PS i did replace the original Zimage with the modified one

CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 init=/init"
