Hi,
The main reason i rooted my old g1 is because i thought it would be nice if i could have the any working sense ROM flashed on it.
Upon research I discovered that i needed to partition my sd card to successfully flash a sense rom, which was a problem for me, because whenever i tried moving ext2 to ext3 or ext3 to ext4 it would say "error- run fs ext3/ext4 via console".
Is this because im using the 128mb sd that came with the phone or is it something else?
If it's something that i dont have the mental capacity to fix myself then I was wondering if was any half decent sense ROM that works without any sd partitions.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe there are some old sense ROMs which doesnt need ext4 , i don't know, but the best fully functioning Sense ROM for the g1 is DroidEris and this ROM need MTD.
128MB is too little

Thanks =) Although i have no idea what MTD is, ill use a 4gb sd and see if i can find a decent sense rom that ill partition my sd with =)

Here is a great tutorial to patition your SD card:
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
and here is how to MTD :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7061471#post7061471
well droideris runs good without swap lol also mtd if you find how to use it not sure but the new base we are on today should be ok with ext2 needs tseting though xD if not find that 4gb sd card ^^
I want to know before I go formatting and repartitioning my SD cards etc.
Do most people do this to their ext card when they run link2sd or internal card?
You don't have enough with 2 GB ?
I don't know what its better but, i can say that i use link2sd and i dont have any problem

No its the fact that some of the larger ones dont allow for moving by apps2SD so was thinking of links2SD because they are typically symlinked from my understanding so the system doesn't know any different.

Yep same her used link2sd for a long time whitout probs!
I still don't understand why you would need it, but I also have used link2sd without problems on my G3. App2sd created a total meltdown on my previous phone.
i have a question: i can use link2SD with my external sd (with FAT32 file system)??

Exactly ^^^ when flashing new ROMs it wrecks the app icon link to the actual app even though the app is there and installed. It cannot be fixed except by reinstalling the app and re - moving the app to SD card again. I believe Link2SD you can just reinstall link2SD after flashing a ROM and then reconnect all the links to apps that are already installed and then they all start working again.
Thing is that I have partitioned the SD card and allowed for 800MB of space in FAT and the link2SD script doesn't work with my SGS now that I am on ICS
I use App2SD and it runs perfect..

Check the mountpoint and adjust the script.
hi all .. i use link2sd to link all my apps to my sd card..this should give me alot of space ...i used to use lewa rom and i have 2xx apps and themes but when i switch to sgs2 rom i decided to delete som apps i hardly use / themes and now there is about 120apps but then when i start to download some games my memory went to 2mb only ?? is this bug ?
this happens to me when i change from lewa to old cm7 fat. ext4 seems lost. and i need to transfers all files to sd using app2sd manually. s2e didnt work.
it was ok now after i changed to stock lite ..i tink it;s a bug
Used link2sd long time on stock rom, very good tool but it seems not work very good with titanium. It works, but after recovering all apps i had very little memory, but all apps are on sd-ext. I moved one after the other to sd, back to phone and then 2 sd.ext, that works and i got much more space. Dont know why, but this procedure was very hard, because of less rom space moving 10 apps to phone, moving to ext and so on.....
But now im using cm7-FAT and s2e, moved dalvic, apps, data and cache to sd, so i have 171! MB free space on phone. No need to have so much space on phone, but whats the best: Phone ice noticeable faster than before, seems that my sandisk class4 sdcard is faster than phone memory, i wondered, but it is so, feels really faster ;-)
regards
I have never been able to set up Link2SD perfectly. In addition, Link2SD makes soft link which makes internal memory little bit usable though. Also, It can not be configured to be on external storage for widget or themes. I remember installing ~50 Apps I had just 60MBs free. But, with S2E I am boss! It serves all needs perefectly. A lot better than Link2SD.
As i said, link2sd works fine for me long time, the graphical interface is very good for managing where your apps should be.
All widgets and tools that never work with standard app2sd (on fat-sdpartition) work as they should do.
Problem is the lack of moving dalvic-cache and other data, so i had ~45MB free, with nearly 100 apps installed. Thats fine, but as i said before, after backing up its sometimes tricky to get all the apps on sd-ext again.
And after some time, phone gets fuller and fuller, i think because of cached data or somewhat.
So with s2e (works on cm7, on stock darktremor a2sd will do nearly the same...) all data are on sd, wich is very good for me, as i said before, performance is better now.....
regards
s2e works Fine in all Cm7.x based roms.
for link2sd user, IMHO this is a very good tutorial [TUT]install apps as much as you can, DON'T WORRY ABOUT MEMORY!![reUPDATED][FAQ's]
I have s2e and successfully moved apps, dalvik, and cache to sd-ext.. but my data (/data/data) cannot be moved to sd-ext... can anyone help me with this? my sd card is RiData 16gb class 10 with 1gb ext3 partition...
edit: found my fix. i have to enable the advanced option in the settings... now i have 170mb free in internal! haha!
Download ALL the apps!

Haha. Found the problem as soon as I read the first line. Links2SD doesn't move everything to the SD card. Let me explain...
I switched to a stock based rom the other day and since S2E doesn't work for stock, I had to google something up and came back to Links2SD. I've used it before but I've had some problems with it. After I was restoring my 97 apps with titanium, not even half way through and it says my device is running out of memory. When I checked Links2SD, everything was on the SD card and yet the internal memory was getting taken up completely.
My fix? I said **** stock roms and went back to CM7 with S2E. It moves everything to the EXT partition as soon as you install it. I restored all of my 97 apps one after another WITH NO ISSUE AT ALL. Only problem I had is that I had to move some apps that use widgets back to internal because the widgets won't work installed on the SD.
Check out the guide on my signature. Cyanogenmod for life. Never again shall I go back to stock.
S2E FTW. I have faced problwm plenty of times what just superace explained. There isn't a useless reason I put that sentence about link2sd in my signature.

All Widgets work, if on internal storage, but with s2e sd-ext is like internal, partition is mounted at boot.
Widgets dont work, if they are on normal sd-space (mounted much later, i think), which is fat32.
I have 1024MB sd-ext and all apps on it, all work, even widgets or others who need to be on phonespace normally. And i think its impossible to move some of them to "real" internal space selectively, only link2sd can do this, or am i wrong?
However, a2sd or s2e seems to be the best solution, if you have very much apps, cause it moves nearly all data to sd...

@SuperAce609,
I'm completely agree with you. This is the only reason why I also haven't gone to stock ROMs like that SGSII by Rushabh. But, one thing you haven't got right about S2E is Widgets' memory location. With S2E, that partition is mounted as internal memory at the start up. All I am saying is, Widgets moved to sd-ext DO work perfectly. I know it, because I am a BIG Widget & themes fan. Have installed plenty of widgets and have 23 themes installed of CM7 theme chooser. Still 117MB internal memory is free. Here, Link2SD would have kept all those themes and widgets in internal memory while restoring via titanium.

@nihilista,
There is one option of saying "Advanced Mode" in S2E Settings. Never tried it myself. But, I suppose its may be for not moving apps, which should not be in external storage like Link2SD. But not Individually.
hey hi , i am on stock rom (2.3.6 ddkq8) does it support apps2sd....read that while u partition ur sd card..""if the rom supports apps2sd"".....(do these roms have to support such applications????) ......it will transfer the files to ext3......to clear internal memory (main problem in Galaxy ace).
2) after partition ...if i try to move apps to sd card from the fone's stock application manager...will it be transferd to the same EXT3?
3) diffrence btween link2sd and app2sd...do they perform the same task?
P.S.- i want to stay on this rom......please help me with this....as m a newbie...i dont have any clue as to how should i move apps.

btw i am.on.miracle v4 right now but i wana change n try smthin new coz i think their are lots of changes since miracle4 i guess
In your System/etc/init.d you'll find the mount script for link2SD, changing the text that reads 'ext3' or whatever to 'ext4' will allow you to mount as ext4 (assuming you already have an ext4 partition).
But, you cannot create an ext4 partition with cwm. Ext3 I've found to be just as good, and cwm does it for you (which also sucks if you ain't got your computer, since it'll wipe your SD card, so you need a backup)
Roms, check latest apocalypse, aa, lewa. Cm9 is beautiful, but I couldn't keep it for daily use cuz of battery drain and the random fc while using multiple apps.
cm9 is smooth and stable enough for me to use for daily. I also recommend you to try AA, it is very fast,unfortunately the author discontinued the rom,so there are a few bugs. In my opinion it is the fastest rom, here is the link:

If you want to do it from phone,then first,mind that this will wipe your SD card. Boot into CWM,then advanced,then Partition SD card,now select EXT4 size,then it will ask yu for swap size,select 0mb,you are done

I thought cwm only partitioned ext3 format, how do you get it to do it in ext4?
I am running Xtreme G version 2 ROM.
i have tried s2e, link2sd, darkremor everything. the problem is:
1)in link2sd it worked at first but internal memory kept on increasing but i was still able to install.( i have partition of 4096) however after downloading many apps(over 100) the rom kept on rebooting and i had to wipe data ,cache, dalvik cache. i had experienced same problem on stock rom.
2)s2e and darktremor i cant understand what to do in darktremor app2sdgui or terminal emulator i dont know what to do.
all i want is to move apps to sd partition i dont care how i just want free internal memory.
on any of the above methods if u can help me or even post a link ill be grateful.

F*ck yeah... you crazy... over 100 apps ? !
Try this. Darktremor automatically put apps to sd-card.
but this rom is running on 2.3.7(although with ics/jb interface) the guide u gave me is for cm9 or 10.
ps some of those apps were very small like chainfire etc
