It should. Any system app that has updated has the updated apk in the user data, integrating it to the rom will move that apk to the system side.

Edit- on second thought... it my not since the apk is installed to /data/app/ which is the sdext...

Haha well therein lies my problem, apparently. I just returned my phone to factory settings so it's currently rooted and has CWM on it, is all. How can I go about getting kouma kernel to work?

Just install CTMod and then kouma kernel?

EDIT: Nvm, I think I understand now. Just installed CTMod and then phone booted past the kouma kernel hang. =]

Installing a rom will flash a new kernel, but ctmod comes with koumakernel.

It won't hurt anything. But it may not free up any space... give it a try and let me know if it does any good

Ok but before I do it.....can it be reversed back to the way it was with no issues in case it doesn't work well?

Just make a backup first. You can always restore your backup. It definitely won't lessen your space any. Basically what is going to happen is tb will replace the old outdated app with the new updated version. There will be no I'll effects either way.
 
Where is the link for CTMod I am new to this forum. I am installing the CTMOD and Komakernel Its for a boost mobile samsung galaxy prevail

Boot times -WILL- be slower. Especially with slower SD cards. I run a class 2 card because I'm a cheap bastard, it takes me an extra 30 seconds or so to boot. I expect faster cards will be faster. Smaller partitions should also be faster, I have a 4 gig SD-Ext partition.

Performance results with my 8 gig Class 2 card split 50/50? Some apps load slow, especially the first time. Things are pretty snappy after that.

Therefore, this is pretty good for general consumption.

So I too am running a Class 2 SD card. It's a 16GB PNY card. I'm having issues getting it to load the ext as Data. When i set the Data setting and reboot, it hangs on the KOUMA Kernel 2.5 screen. I even let it sit over night. I have a 2GB ext partition set and was wondering if you have any thoughts?

Thank you as well for the excellent kernel build and mods. Even though not all of it is directly from you, putting it all in one place is awesome!

Well, what room did you flash this on? If it wasn't hall ass rom or ctmod that's probably the issue.

Easy solution, reflash your rom. Or if you are on cyanogen mod, flash one of the katokernels.
 
So I was running ctmod on data and it was alright. still seemed super laggy so I decided to start over.
Sd is a 8bg flashed to 6gb vfat with 2 1gb ext4 partitions

Flashed ctmod3.8, (i did do a little customing of a few internal apps before I flashed, like update the koumamod.apk to 1.8 and a few other apps)

flashed the sd2ext4.zip

Everytime I try to switch to ssm nothing changes internally. Data will mount the first ext4 and show plenty of space available and that works fine (tried this after the first time I couldn't get ssm to work. after I did this I restarted everything).

don't know if this matters but when in recovery whenever I try to wipe dalvik it isnt able to mount anything
log shows:
mount: mounting /dev/block/stl13 on /data failed: Invalid argument
W:failed to mount /dev/block/stl13 (File exists)
rm: can't remove '/cache/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory
rm: can't remove '/sd-ext/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory
Dalvik Cache wiped.

It did the same thing when I first started running ctmod..

Can't seem to figure out whats going on.

Iv'e parted the sd card a few times though cwm, sdparter.apk, and adb btw

This is what will wipe the dalvik View attachment SSM_Wipe_Dalvik-swap2ext4formatter.zip you put ut on the sd card and then flash it in cwm.
To switch from data to ssm or back you need to format the sd card and then reinstall all apps again, just the way it is. Hope this helps.:)

So switching from nothing to ssm:

I have to switch to data-format SD completely or just flash the zip for formatting both to ext4-switch to ssm- then flash the zip above-?

You have to format the two ext partitions. You can leave the fat partition alone
