[Q] SD partitions - GT540 Optimus Android Development

Hi guys
Could anyone explain to me what it does when you have partitions on your SD'cards ?
And in the Eye candy rom, there's something about "Hard Coded 2MB SD cache"
What does all this means ?
Sorry for beeing a noob in this area
(using SwiftDroid V2.0 RC3)

I think this is the hard coded SD cache, but without this app. Install, set to 2MB, check the box and apply.

Im using an 8gb sd what is the correct partition ext value

the exit partition number isn't important you can have two or three what's important is how much cache you give the sd or how big swap partition is for your card I would say ext 3 512 mb swap 256 mb and 2.5 mb sd cache should be good hope this helps also you can check your memory in terminal just type su then free

[Q] An App to show all partitions and filesystem information

Hi All
Is there an app that can show all the partitions and file system type (rfs, ext3 or ext4) and free space?
Thanks
Mike
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011152 but not really compatible with my SGS.
I use disk usage, great tool for having a disk clearup, and I also use sd maid for helping clear up, hope this helps

RAM = No
ROM = Yes
Follow this guide, and remove the ones that you don't need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30573818&postcount=1538
Also, follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30595805&postcount=1555 if you want some more space in ROM (/system partition)
It's not more RAM that you need; it's more internal memory. Unfortunately, if you want Play Store, you don't have much choice but to delete certain things which aren't essential.
Use ICS or GB based roms if you don't want to delete things to make room for Play Store.

There is way to increase ram but I doubt it will work on cm 10 I am using cmx and ram extended to 713mb and anyway what you need is more internal memory and not ram.

Easy all you need is to create a swap partition.
Now there are two ways
1. You go into recovery mode. Then advanced then partition sd card then select the ext partition size then it will ask swap size select whatever size you wish then let the process complete. This method will erase everything on your sd card but will give more stability and better performance than the next method.
2. Open Google play then search for swapit if you find it then download it I think it is free if it isn't then download swapper but I would still suggest swapit. Anyway whichever you download create a swap file through the app in sd card and not ext. After the process is complete you will have increased your ram.
You have successfully increased your ram but now you need to configure your device to recognize the extended ram so download ram manager(pro) from anywhere open it and select multitasking then see the device performance in the app it is like a speedometer it will be around 60 now just clear ram and swoop it becomes full.
You will surely see a significant change though most of it depends on your quality of sd card I have no problems hope even you don't.

You can't physically increase the phones internal memory size, but your SD partition can be any size you wish. I assume your looking to use your SD card to store apps?

[Q] big sized sd card

N oE Hello everyone this is my first post please tell me that is it safe to include 16 gb class 10 card for our ace
I mean will the phone slow down or not if not then will the speed remain good if i create a ext partition of 1 gb out of it
No worries bout the speed but ext partition reduces the health of the sd card. So becareful n hit thnx if helpd.

whether u make 1gb or 512mb partition reduces the life of sd card. I prefer and am using 1gb with 0 swap is enough for use. All the best for partitioning. hit thnx if helpd
Actually 1GB of partition is not at all necessary. It is just a mere waste of space as ace cannot persist so many installed apps. 512MB is more than enough & for me, just 256MB is enough.

As someone said the ext partition if use to only save in apks is totally safe and will not demage your sd card in any way. Apps will run maybe faster than on interal memory. Remeber to keep apps cache clean and to relink apps and cache in order to keep performance as high as possible. That's all I think. Good luck and for any question I'm here, you can send me PM anytime. Peace!
