Later versions seem to support ext3.
Back when I updated to ice cream sandwich, the distro converted the
default data partition to ext3 for improved performance.
I haven't played with it beyond that.

Damned if I know what file systems Android supports. Once I found a
solution, I stopped looking.
One reason is to maximize portability. All the major operating systems
can read an ntfs partition. Not so with ext4. If I were trying to
increase security I would use ext4 or one of the newer Linux file
systems
to partition the micro card. In this case I wanted to be able to have
both my Linux laptop and my wife's Apple laptop read data off this SD
card.
