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"

Hello there,
So i'm trying to figure out how to partition my 1gb sd card for the hero rom and ive read about there being a ext3, ext2 and fat 32, but do i need all three or just two of those? If so which ones?
I know paragon partition manager has the option for ext2 and ext3 aswell as linux-swap 2...
Just wondering how much should be given for each?
Fat 32?
and whatever else i need.
Thanks in advance.
upgrade ur recovery to cyanogens 1.4 then use gparted. search. dont need dat program its all done from your fone. supper easy.
also wrong section and its fat32 ext3 and linux-swap 32mbs

You need:
Fat32
ext3 - not bigger than 1.5GB...512mb is a good size
linux-swap - anything from 32 to 96...I use 64mb
They must be in that order.
I'm assuming that 1GB card is the one that came with you're phone, if so, don't bother. Buy a branded class 6 card, they're very cheap nowadays. reason being, the phone needs to cache things to the linux-swap partition...that faster the card the better the performance (in theory).
As Hiroots said, partitioning can be done on your phone, look for a guide on using parted (*not* gparted)
Please post in Q&A next time.
is it even worth it ro run an ext 2/3 setup with app2sd on a stock g1 sd card?
it would let you have apps on the sd instead of the phone and free phone memory but stock SDcard slower than a class 4 or class 6 sdcard

yeah of course you should run it my friend has had nothing but a stock 2gb and he has had no problems plus upgrading to ext4 always helps see sdparted for help on that
hope this helps
perfect, thanks.
Hello Everyone,
I have just installed link2sd on my phone.But I came to know that in order to link my apps to sd card, i need to create a second partition on my sd card.
I searched and downloaded minitool partition home wizard for partitioning the card.
I tried with my transcend 8gb card but i dont know how to partition card i.e. how much to allocate the space for first,second and other partition and which format should be used(whether FAT32, Ext1, Ext2 or Ext3).
I am currently using android 2.1(rooted).Since I am a completely noob in this sector, i have no idea about this.
Please help me!!

Thanks for the reply.
For Partitoning the card, we should also make space for linux swap or not?
Also, could you tell me what allocation of space for 8gb would be the best for FAT32 and Ext2 partition??
thnx for the info man!

There is no need for linux swap.
Ext2: 500MB - 900MB.
Do not make it to 1GB or more, save that space for your FAT32 and you won't really need that huge space for link2sd anyway.
The rest of free space will be for FAT32.
and it's up to me I will turn almost all of it into ext2/3 and a little bit for fat
why? Because I dun deal with windows that much and so I reserve only a little bit of them for transfer between the systems. Ext2/3 is linux based and inherently superior to fat.
I'm using CM 7.2 and I finally decide to partition my sd card.
I wanna ask how big I should create those partitions. I have 16gb sd card class 2
fat 32 size?
ext3/4 size?
swap size?
and which order I should create?
thx in advice
You can create them from cwm simply without problems
sdext 1GB
swap 64MB
Order is important?
for example fat32 partition 0, ext3 partition 1 and swap partition 2?

No, go in cwm, advanced, partitions sdcard.
cwm will make all. try to go in cwm so can you see the options
if you want use a different software like minitool partition, you can creat 3 partitions all primary partitions:
1) sdcard in fat32
2) sdext in ext3 or ext4
3) swap
I've partitioned my sd to 512ext but never reach 200mb used..
Sent from public phone using 10cents.
16gb? so big memory for me
Ext 512mb and swap 64mb are enough for apps I thinks that...
Ext4 is better than Ext3, so if you can use gparted live (or minitools) to create the Ext4

hi,
u can keep 512-1 gb as ex3 partition. u can use cwm. its better and simple.
and hey a question? u r having 16 gb ? i tried with 8gb and my phone hanged like anything.. how u managee 16gb ??/
I do nothing to manage 16gb, all works fine. I only set cache sd to 2mb
I have partition my sd with cmw (1024 ext, 64mb swap). now I have 128mb freed in my rom.
thx to all!!!

you re welcome buddy
Read this about how to partition your sd-card
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html
Also, Since you have 16 GB sdcard memory, best sizes should be 1-2 GB sd-ext, remaining FAT32, no swap.
