Anyone try either the one here:

or one on the market:

If you've tried it, did you find there was significant increase in speeds?
You dun need an sd card booster since our nexus s is EXT4 storage
This also applies to Nexus S, but roms as CM7 or MIUI have already integrated my script.
I'm not running CM7 nightlies, but rather the RC1. Is it included in that? Thanks for the info
the default file system is vfat for nexus s. and nexus s does not have traditional sd card storage.technically it's not even an sd card it's an internal nand storage.
I've gotten improved speeds with xfs. but the fastest fs should be ext2 (which i haven't tried out yet)
i don't know if cm7 has ext4 or not for sdcard .i doubt if most mods do since using a linux file system would mean the user of the phone has no way to put files on that sd card using a windows computer(at very best it's possible to view them safely). and i think that's the only reason the default is fat.

So today I managed to go from CM5 to stock to update 1 to FroYo; and on my SDcard I have it partitioned for 1GB of apps on the linux partition...
I didn't mind losing them all since I can get them all back via appaware; but I'm having issues moving them to SD as was shown in the froyo demo. The option's there in manage applications; but it's greyed out.
Any ideas as to why it's doing this/how to fix it?
I'm using the stock 4gb class 2 card that came with my nexus, and it's partitioned for 1gb of ext3 for apps2sd.
Tips?
I'm having the same issue.. my SD is 100% fat32.
The installing apps on the SD card in FroYo isn't really A2SD. The developers of each individual app has to support installing their app on an SD card. That was mentioned during the day 2 keynotes. So until the developer of your apps enables that function you won't be able to install on the SD Card.
yea that's my question also,I also have partitioned my card, just tell me what config should I keep to store apps back to sd card in froyo.. or if there is any method to completely wipe all partition in my card, I am using 8gb card..
No partition needed, just wait for the apps to be updated to support it.

Ah, I missed that when I was watching it live. Crap! My phones already out of space and rejecting text messages...
This sucks

Hi,
I recently installed CM7 on my phone using Rom Manager and am very happy with it.
I noticed that my SD card read and write speeds have become abysmal though.
Can someone tell me how to fix this? I noticed in Rom Manager under the SD card partition area it mentions something about changing write speeds.
Would that work? I do not really want to create a separate partition on my SD card at the moment but I would like to increase the file transfer process.
Thank you for the help
Known problem, best solution is to use a card reader.
I also get extremely slow read/write speeds on my SDcard when mounted via the phone. My dad's HTC desire running on leedroid ROM reads and writes like lightning compared to what im getting and we both have the exact brand, class and capacity SDcard. Formatting the sdcard didnt help, i happen to be on CM7 as well so i wonder if its a ROM related issue...
Hello,
Ok, first, the briefing:
I used verygreen´s Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards to run CM7 (installer 1.3 -> nightly 87 + gapps) on my nook. Works great. Kudos verygreen.
I tested 3 different SD cards to do so. Sadly, none of my Class 4 cards worked and only an old Class 2 2g Toshiba did the trick. Since I don´t intend to have a big fight with my wife about why I need to buy a 2nd. class 4 SD card this week, I am keeping the 2g Toshiba. (I know, I know, I should´ve bought a Sandisk Class 4 to begin with but they're a not easy to come by here in Brazil. At least, not a real Class 4).
And this is my problem:
The CM7 sees only 350 - 400 MB available in the "SD Card". That is hardly enough for HD games. Meanwhile, the "internal" memory has over 700 MB available.
What I'd like to do is:
Change the SD card partition to move some of the available space from the "internal" memory to the "SD card" on CM7.
Question:
Is it possible? How? Is it gonna mess up the CM7?
Alternatively, I was considering WobbleTheHutt method to swap SDcard and emmc. But, before I do it, I need to know if this method would affect the booting of the stock Nook. Does anyone knows?
Thnx.
I freaking did it!
I freaking did it! And it's running smoothly!
Ok! For those who want to give it a try.
First, I used Gnome Partition Editor for Windows to decrease the size of the EXT partition. Then, I used Minitool Partition Wizard Home edition to increase the FAT partition.
I actually created a image of my original SD card, just in case, but it was unnecessary since it didn't mess any of my data or apps. Still, as a security measure, I suggest who ever try this to also create a backup image of the original SD card.

Hey! Nice idea.
I was looking for a method to backup my CM7(verygreen) SD card but I don't have a card reader with me currently.
Is is possible to backup complete SD card(all 4 CM7 partitions) using just the nook and windows??
P.S. I have Clockworkmod recovery installed onto emmc, if it's possible through that?
thanks.

Why didn't you use GPE for both steps? I use it all the time and it works fine.

Hi!
Could You give me tutorial how to make swap and app2sd on SDE?
I think I have to make partitions. First with swap. And now one partition ext4 and there will be app2sd and my files or two partitions-first with app2sd and second with my files?
My card is 10class and 8gb
Thanks

Thanks

1. FAT32 (for you own files - music, pictures etc.)
2. ext4
3. swap
create them in this order.
cwm can do that.
format sd
create partition
swap....
wait...reboot
in terminal emulator.
type
su
a2sd xdata

enjoy.

To make partitions on your SD follow these steps.
1.Make a backup of your SD.
2.Enter CWM recovery.
3.Go to advanced->Partition SD card.
Now it will ask you for sizes of A2SD and SWAP.
Set them as you want.
Its Done...
NOTEartitioning the SD will erase all the data on your SD card..
Difference between Link2SD and Apps2SD
Hi Guys,
I just wanted know the difference between Link2SD and Apps2SD.
When I used Apps2SD all my user application are moved automatically to SD Card. I don't have a choice to select the app to be moved to SD.
where in in Link 2Sd I have an option to move selectively.
more over when tried apps2sd on ICS ROM ( MiniCM9.0.4 ) it wont work. many forums says the apps2sd scripts are not supported in ICS due to changes of implementation of OS.
so which one is better ? why ?
Secondly which iotion is beeter for swap ?
Swap partition or Swap File
1. I know Swap partition allows to use even if phone is connected to PC where as swapfile will dismounted if you connect ot PC.
but if I use ReadaheadKB setting of SD card in devices section swap file will perform more faster ( as it was cached partially) vs. swap partion
( ReadAheadKB helps to perform sequential reads more faster )
even if SD card wear & tear is more with SD card. th cost for SD cards are down so drastically that one can afford the loss of SD card ( laugh: data on SD should be backed up frequently :laugh:
Cheers!

As we all know the android one comes with limited internal storage storage and media (pics,documents,videos) can only be stored on the external sdcard. On the forum there are various methods to swap storage size , however on doing so storage space for media will be limited to fixed 2 gb space currently available for internal storage. I was wondering if it is possible to partition a 32gb class 10 sd card and use 16 gb each for external and internal storage. I wouldn't mind if the internal phone storage would have to be abandoned in doing so.
Has any one successfully done this..
'
Yes you can do that using link2sd.
Check this out.
I have made a 4GB ext4 partition on my 16GB sd card and I keep all my apps stored in the 4GB partition. And 10GB is kept as media storage.

So download the zip file from the attachment. You will find link2sd app and a patcher that makes the app link2sd plus and is totally functional... And other things about link2sd is nicely explained in this site, https://awanstuff.wordpress.com/201...ink2sd-in-any-android-phone-with-screenshots/ Just keep in mind to create a ext4 partition instead of ext2 and you are good to go. And I would suggest you to use high speed sd cards preferably class 10 and higher if you want a smooth experience on your lollipop rom. I use class 10 ultra from sandisk. And my apps run buttery smooth...
