Hi All,
I have Cyano's current stable rom up and running perfectly. The only hitch is I did not have my SD Card formatted to Ext2 or Ext3.
What is the best method for changing this under the current rom? I know you cannot run apps2sd (which formats the sd properly) with Cyano's build.
Whats the best method?

you can partition the sd card from terminal and from console now i believe, using parted.. do a search in the dev section for the how to's.

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"

his roms only support ext3 now? but if i use ext3, if i later want to use hero will my apps2sd still work or will i have to redo it?
I am running 4.0.4 and i have been seeing stuff about apps being installed to the sd card to free up internal memory, and needing the ext2 partition. What I dont know is where I get this stuff (or if its already built in) and how do I get that going???
if u are running any of cyanogen's rom, apps2sd is automatically. since u are on 404 it should be good. this is AS long as you have formatted your sd with correct partitions. fat32, ext2 or 3. did you rememebr partitioning your device at all before installing any new roms?
read this thread for info on how to partition. it is not an easy read so be careful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714&highlight=sdcard+parted+script

but if he has already installed apps, and has his phone all setup after the initial flash... will cyanogen then migrate his apps TO the SD card?
or will he have to wipe/install and then insert his formatted SD card?
(this info is for him and me )
Ok, I just got my nexus today and flashed Modaco alpha 21.
I saw there was an apps2sd version but instead downloaded the normal one.
Do I really need apps2sd on a 4gb class 2 card?
Can you point me in the direction of how to set this up for modaco.
Also, do I need swap?

Thats what i used, its fairly simple and well wrote. Use the recovery ROM method, its the fastest and easiest.
To set up App2SD, you need an ext partition on your SD card and the userinit.sh script to initialise App2SD (search for it!!)... a faster SD card is recommended for App2SD, though it will work you ur 4GB class 2 card. Use App2SD only if you want to install many market applications and u know that the internal memory won't suffice. And for the Nexus one, if you've got HiMem enabled, you do not need any swap partition...
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 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.
