Hello, everyone. As I said in the title, I have a bunch of questions that relate one way or another to the whole process of updating to JellyBean.
1.
A few months ago, I followed this tutorial to the letter to format my external SD card. I made my larger partition FAT32 and my smaller partition ext2, because I was using stock ICS. I can't remember which thread it was anymore, but somewhere in these forums someone said that for JB, the SD card should be ext3. How important is this? If it's no big deal, then good: It's one less thing to worry about. But if it matters, what's the proper order of operations here? I imagine pulling the card before I update, re-formating it, and then putting it back after I update would be the most prudent thing to do.
1a.
I assume that after all is said and done, I'll be able to re-root one way or another and once again be able to use Link2SD? (I really, really hope that this will fix my problem with the external SD card spontaneously un-mounting!)
2.
Given the issues people are reporting with the JB update, what's the better way to go about this: Do I do the OTA update? Do I use Kies and hope it's got JB in the pipeline? Do I flash a JB ROM someone posted here?
3.
Given the issues people are reporting with the JB update, would it be feasible to give Cyanogen Mod a whirl? Is it compatible with VM's SGR?
4.
In the event I end up starting from scratch, how much will I hate Google Hangouts?
Thank you!
