i have CM3.2 with his new recovery img (1.1)
i have seen alot of ways to do apps2sd, but what is easiest most stable way to do it with his ROMS
*i have unpartitioned 4gb Class 6 Card. Need a step by step that will go smooth with his ROM...thanks ahead of time
First partition your sd card so it has Fat32 & Ext3 (in that order). On my 4Gb I use 3.5Gb for storage (fat32) and 500Mb for apps2sd (ext3)
Upgrade to CM 3.4 (To support ext3) and load recovery and click the "move apps to sd"

I just flashed CM6RC3. A few days ago my sd card received errors so I ended up formatting it. While doing this I stumbled upon the SD partition options in rom manager and ra.
So I set them 32mb swap, 512mb ext3, rest fat32 (16gb card).
When I install apps and use App2SD I don't see much of a benefit since the apps are just moved to the fat32 partition. And not all apps support being moved.
Am I correct in these assumptions? Or am I missing something?
Exactly what and how does the ext3 partition do for my android?
You can use alternative Apps2SD and move all your apps to the ext3 partition.
In that case, your widgets can also be moved, and your apps won't be terminated when you mount your phone as USB drive.
should i be using ext3 or 4?
do i need swap at all? i've search and found contradicting posts
I am new for App2SD.
I partitioned the 16G SD Card by Swap 32M, Ext2 1028M, Fat32 reminder and up Ext2 to Ext3 by RA 1.62 recovery and then I install evil rom v1.16 version.
When I install new app into the phone, it consumed more internal space for the phone.
After I use titanium backup move app to sd card (such as Map, Flash 10.1). The space in the phone remain unchanged.
Do I do the steps wrongly?
Thanks for your advice.
I am totally baffled by this. I've had a2sd working once before, but this time it just won't work. I flashed cyanogen 6.1.1 for my phone, Nexus One, and added google apps by flashing that too, and the rom works fine.
I have partitioned my SD card with 30gb FAT, 1.1gb ext3, 60mb swap and the rest free. I then flashed darktremor. Now, when I open titanium backup pro, I see the bar for a2sd showing free space, and it says 152mb total, 20.2mb free.
Why do I not have the full size of my ext3 partition available?
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks guys
I have the same problem! Before starting a new thread I thought of posting it here,
I partitioned SD with Amon RA recovery (2.0.1) first with EXT2 and converted to EXT3
I have similar amount of memory, 138mb ! Isnt the partition made with recovery detected by the ROM?
Details : Fat32 3.5GB, EXT3 512MB
Look HERE the internal memory doesnt show the memory in the EXT partition. But apps get installed in there when you install them normally. Just check if your A2SD+ is working by the Quick System Info market app.
I read the whole thread A-Z, I suggest newbies do the same to get an understanding.
EDIT: DATA2SD shows this as the internal memory!
Hello,
Is there any possibility to run two different android builds on one phone and making it actaully work? Today I am running only an NAND build, but I also want to run an android build from my sd card so I can experiment. I have tried to partition my sd card several ways, but it doesn't seem to work.
I have partitioned a sd card of 2 gb into 1gb of FAT (ubuntu doesn't offer the ability to format into the FAT32 format), 800mb of EXT2 and 100 mb of Linux Swap. And I placed the build I wanted to install (Scooter's Cyanoenmod 7.1) into an andboot folder on the 1 gb FAT partition. But still no succes so what am I doing wrong?
*Also how does one actually switch between the sd card installed and NAND installed android builds?*
set the sd partitions for system and data in atools.
Create 3 partition on sd:
- fat32
- ext3
- ext3
flash the new nbh and then reinstall the new rom.
I want to install RunnymedeMod and it requires that I have a 1GB Ext4 partition. I have an 8GB SD Card...
I use Minitool Partition to create a 1GB Ext4. I apply the changes... I take the ROM zip file and put it on my SD card. When I go to the Recovery to install it, I go to chose the Zip file and it isn't there...
I boot my phone back up and open my SD card's file on my PC. When I look, the partition is no longer there and the ROM zip isn't on my SD anymore... it is getting frustrating.
Any helpful ideas?
The reason you can't see the 1GB partition is because Windows cannot read ext partitions. I suggest you install 4ext recovery, then create an ext2 partition and then upgrade it to ext3 and the lastly ext4. This is your best bet to make sure it's partitioned correctly and smoothly.

So I have touch 4Ext Recovery... when I want to create partitions it says First Ext and Second Ext and then Swap size.
I have an 8GB SD and I need a 1GB Ext4 partition.

First ext: 1gb, skip second ext and skip swap. Then upgrade to ext3 and lastly ext4.
