Samsung Epic 4G Lag Fix: RFS to EXT4 for Froyo DK28

[EGRENY1]

What happens to contacts & pics, etc?

I'm sure someone asked already but couldn't find it. Once you install the ext4 &, let's say, midnight rom, what happens to the contacts & pics? I didn't loose them when upgraded to dk28, but what now?

You lose everything I believe, at least I did.

how did you get your info back? Did you?

Well all the stuff in your sd card is safe. Sorry not sure if you meant that or not. I basically was okay to start new again. I just backed up launcherpro, my text with sms backup+ and synced apps with appbrain. Contacts are loaded onto gmail account.

My upgrade completed with no visible issues as of yet. Now to see how she runs.

How do you test that ext4 is working properly?

Bottom of first post:

5b) Reboot and enjoy EXT4.

Optional: you can confirm you have successfully converted to EXT4 by using the command

adb shell mount

or

adb shell df

Edit: Sorry if i'm being dumb

You won't see anything, per se. You might notice things run a little faster.

I was referring to typing the commands to confirm ext4 in adb... what am i supposed to see after i type it in?

Not dumb at all. When you entered that command, what did the command prompt return?

 

[zeravla531]

a whole lot of stuff, anything in particular i should look at? It's probably too long to post.

 

[zeravla531]

I see ext4 mentioned a few times, guess that means it works?

 

[ragnarokx]

Bingo

 

[zeravla531]

Lol thanks, I was skeptical because I forgot to flash a stock dk28 modem. I originally flashed a modified pre-rooted one a month ago (or whenever dk28 first came out)

 

[ragnarokx]

If you used Odin to install Froyo, it installs the modem as well.

 

[zeravla531]

Sorry I meant when I used odin to flash dk28 (both files), it was a rooted version. I did not reflash a stock unmodified version as you said to do in the instructions for ext4, I overlooked it.

If that worked for you that's fine. The developer of the EXT4 conversion originally advised against coming from a non-stock version of Froyo, but others have reported that coming from non-stock Froyo worked fine for them.

You need Quantum v2.7 if you're using Clockwork v3.0.0.5.

Can I follow the new procedure if I'm on a stock phone (2.1, no DK28 modem, unrooted, etc) in order to flash an ext4 rom? Or will I have to get my phone up to DK28 first since those roms use the DK28 modem any way?
