I have a 8 GB class 6 SD card with an ext2 partition that I created while running JF 1.51. I also used LucidREM to move everything over, but then moved my dalvik cache back to internal memory.
Following JesusFreke's retirement, I flashed Cyanogen 4.0.2 (stable). After encountering a boot-up loop, I wiped my phone and almost everything seems working fine.
The problem, however, is that my apps now seem to be installing to my internal memory instead of my partition. I'm pretty new at this, so I'm not really sure what's going on or how to fix it. Help please.
Use cyan 4.0.4, the most recent build. Open parted from command line and type print, just to verify you have an ext partition. Most likely you don't have an ext partition because the rom does it automatically.
The parted command implies you have cyan's recovery 1.4.
Each time I open it up it asks me to allow. I click allow and than it gives me a FC. Can anyone help I wanna use Apps2SD!!!
Apps2SD is automatic. Just need that EXT partition. not sure if SuperD requires Ext4 or not.
Re partition your SD card with atleast an EXT3.
It requires EXT3, I was EXT4 before, and FC's galore at every reboot
I recently switched to Buffed 2.1.2 which requires an ext4 partition if you want run a2sd. I partitioned my class 6 sdcard to ext4 in the following way.
1.Rebooted into recovery
2.Partitioned sdcard fat32
3. 32mb swap
4. 512mb partition
5. Upgrade ext2 to ext3
6. Then upgrade ext3 to ext4
Now my question is: Is this the correct way to partition to ext4? I'm assuming you need to upgrade specifically in this order? Or can you just skip upgrading from ext2 to ext3 and go right to the last step?
That's right. It's included in the original procedure here:

My pleasure. I learned a lot from xda so I like to return the favor whenever I can
I just partitioned my SD card using Amon's recovery, and I don't know why, but I hit upgrade ext3 to ext4....I don't even know what ext it was to begin with at the moment of partition, so I don't know if that even worked.
How do I find out what version of ext I have?
And I'm using Enomther's 2.12.4, and enabled apps2ext, and rebooted my phone, and it definitely worked.
And assuming that it is ext4, I just found out that apparently ext3 is better than ext4 (I'm not really sure why).
How do I downgrade? Can I simply go into Amon's recovery and hit upgrade from ext2 to ext3? I have a feeling that's too simplistic to work.
Do I have to wipe everything and start from scratch?
I have installed dsixda's 2.3.3 gingerbread rom and wanted to get it working with a2sd. How ever when I partitioned my sdcard using clockworkmod recovery, instead of getting more space, I started getting errors saying "Insufficient storage" even when my internal storage has 20MB free. I searched around and found out more about a2sd.
running "a2sd check" told me that it can not mount the ext partition.
a2sd partlist showed that the rom supports ext2 and ext3 but not ext4.
I don't know how to check the filesystem of a partition on android. So, I popped out the sdcard and loaded it in my gentoo laptop ( ubuntu works too).
Sure enough "mount" command showed me that the partition is ext4.
"umount /dev/mmcblk0p2 && mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2" reformatted the partition to ext3(if you are worried about write cycles used by the journaling on flash memory use mkfs.ext2)
when I brought it back to my n1, it still didn't work and "a2sd check" told me to "a2sd reinstall" and that actually did the trick.
