Building ext4 patch into kernel "The Lagfix"

Our phones are running on RFS file systems and that isnt the best.. actually its know to be very slow/laggy .. atleast when compared to ext4 filesystem

With a script thats available on xda to convert to ext4 we'd be able to do it, the only problem is ; we'd need our kernel to support the ext4 filesystem.

im not good with kernel building or anything like that but it seems its not too hard to do, as Krylon360 (Dev who built our CWM recovery) said to me

Now im guessing to someone who is familiar with kernels may see thats an easy task, but i just dont know if anyone with this phone has kernel experience atleast enough to get this task done. if someone could do this, our phones would be blazing fast, those conversions are basically like whats known as voodoo lagfix. opening apps are instant and overall experience is much better. also our quadrant scores would be around 2.2k+ (for those that care about quadrant). Hopefully all working together we can achieve this and have our phones 100% lag free

im going to keep doing more reading but i hope someone can chime in who may know more about kernels than myself

I added ext4 into the menuconfig and compiled the kernel from source, test this out and let me know if it works, otherwise you can wait for Krylon's version.

Please make a nandroid before testing this, as I'm not sure if this will work or not.

EDIT: My kernel doesn't work, don't try it.
