Switching ROMs in EXT4

---

Once I have converted over to EXT4, can I flash any EXT4 friendly ROM directly? What CWM version do I need to use to flash it?

Yes, you can flash any ext4 compatible rom.

If it has been updated to use an edify script, then it is compatible with 2.5.1.2 and 3.0.0.whatever.

If it still uses an old amend script, then it is only compatible with 2.5.1.2.

Yes, once you convert to ext4 that stays intact until you odin.

Thank you for your help

Sorry guys, I'm even newer than airbag84 at this. By flashing you guys mean to put the zip file on the root of the sd-card, and run the .zip file from recovery mode, using either version of CWM? I'm already on a ext4 rom, no more final kernel or clearing data, etc, etc?

Yes flashing = installing zip in recovery mode.

When going from ROM to ROM, its a good idea to do a full wipe. However, unless you brick your phone and re-Odin, you will not need to worry about running one click ext4 again, just wipe and flash just like you would any other ROM.

Hope that answered your question.

& Ryno, how is it that the full wipe thingy works? Sorry for my newness(if that's a word)

do I wipe data or cache partition? or both? how many times?

Both. Wipe data, cache partition, and dalvik cache (under "advanced" in clockworkmod" 3 times to be safe. The reason for this is to ensure your not mixing files from two different roms, which could cause a ton of problems.

And don't sweat it, I was new at one point too. Hell, I am still learning lol.
