Setting Ext2 and Ext3 under Cyanogen's Rom

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?

Have Cyanogen's recovery?
Partitioning from recovery console -

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.

Noob question about Apps2SD/ext2

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 )

Modaco and Apps2sd

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...

Desire ROM r21 w/A2SD won't boot with SD card

Not sure if this is the right place to post this...
I've been on Cyanogen for a while, and Paul's Desire ROM seems stable enough now to use. I downloaded the Apps2SD version and tried booting with the SD card (it's an 8GB, no idea which class but very it's reliable, has a 1536mb ext4 partition for apps, works great with cyanogen 5.0.5.3 a2sd) but it just played the boot animation over and over again. I took the SD card out and it booted fine, but of course you can't just put the SD card in when the phone's on on a Nexus One. So can I fix this without re-formatting and losing all my apps, or should I just get the non-apps2sd version

I got the same error here...
Does anybody know how to fix it?

Same here any help!

Did you guys setup your SD correctly to work with the App2SD version? ext2,3,4 partition?

install apps into sd card and open them

can someone tell me how to install apps into sd card then open them..i found that my legend's internal memory not enough for me..

What ROM are you using? First of all your phone needs to be rooted.. Second.. You need a ROM that supports App2SD (Applications To SD) - Then you can move the apps to sd and install further apps directly to SD
Most ROMS in this forum supports apps2sd

im planning change my ROM right now..im going to use Indigo bean 0.6..
is that support app2sd?

I use this one and i don't see app2sd ! :/

I just flashed with modacos rom with app2sd. But i dont see the app anywhere in the programs list nor does any app ask me which drive it would like to be installed in. I partitioned my sd with Rom Manager too.

yup..im using modaco with a2sd but still cant found any way to install it into sd card..
any idea?

In my opinion Darktremor app2sd is the best way to install app in sd, you can unpack your current rom, add darktremor, and build it again.

errr..can u give me more explanation about this..
honestly im newbie about this..and i haven't partition my sd card

ext2 or 3 partition is a must for all app2sd ROM except CM6 that use app2sd on Fat32
in indigo the app2sd is not available unless you make an ext partition on your sdcard
