Default why rfs?
Would it be more stable to run rfs 2.5.5 clockwork mod rather than flashing a custom rom on ext4? Can you overclock on rfs? What can ext4 do that rfs can't?

rfs is the stock filesystem, its decent enough but ext4 is opensource and offers improved performance. this is all for /system and /data. kernel overclocking doesnt come into it at all, that is on a case by case on the kernel.

Awsome you have been a ton of help. I am looking at free hotspot ,and hulu. Also need battery improvement, however i am not confident in my ability to flash midnight rom and syndicate frozen seems like it is unstable. I was wondering if rfs could give me those options.

rfs is more stable then the ext4 roms put out right now due to most of them having no journalling. but there was a new tool put out to enable journballing on syndicate.

wifi tether is easy a quick google search will pull up that app

as for hulu sorry i have no idea.. and for your battery improvements all the custom kernels support undervolts frequencies so youll save a ton of battery life as well as a few other tweaks.

kelmar, stop stalking me :P
