Hello everyone
I'd like to have some swap ( I read only 128mb possible) storage. Is it possible with GingerDXv015 and LinuxDXv003? How can I do it?
When I try with Swapper Configuration it is all grey and cannot be filled in unless checking "Active Swap on Boot".
Swap File Position is automatically SD Card FAT Partition but there is not enough free space (0 mb, but there is enough free space).
Ok I have flashed FXP Kernel, entered CWM->advanced->Partition SD Card. Don't know if it's working.

I am having issues with trying to partition my SD card (Transcend 16GB class 6 fwiw.) When i go into recovery and after setting the parameters for the swap (0) and ext2 (512MB) partition and when i have the phone create the new partition it seems to give me the little 'i am working' dots forever and never finishes creating the new partition.
I have let the phone run until the entire screen is filled with the dots.
My smaller 2GB card partitions in about 45 seconds, so i dont think it is the software.
What can i do to save my SD card?
I have tried setting the swap and ext2 size to 0 and it successfully partitions the card that way. I have formatted the card through the phone and through my computer.
All help is appreciated, and i apologize if the answer is lying right in front of my face. I searched all of yesterday for this.
When formatting a new 32gb micro SD card to be used on the NC, what would be considered optimal, as far as file system and allocation unit size is concerned ?
Are you going to put cyanogenMod on the external memory card or just use it for storage? If you are just going to use the card for storage there is not a need to partition it.
If you are though you can use the program on windows OS called "WinImage" that will partition the card automaticly to the right partition size for your boot files. Check this link here on how its done. There is also included youtube links and other information in this thread too to get you started. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/30462-cant-root-my-new-nook/
You can also do this on linux here. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/30462-cant-root-my-new-nook/
Just Remember to select the whole Card in linux and not just the partition table when you get started.
If its all storage, then FAT32 and default allocation units.
I all, I do have all my apps installed in ext partition (and I'm sure of it, since I'm able to wipe weverything but the ext, apply new roms and find my apps already there).
I expected almost free internal memory, but I get the low memory warning (20MB and under...). I suspect that moving apps to ext doesn't clean internal memory. Is this correct? If so, how can I free some space? Should I delete apks manually from data?
Try entering this in Terminal Emulator:
su
lib2ext 1
Then reboot
Ok, I got 126MB of free space by moving libs. Thanks for the hint.
Anyway, when I try to move apps from sd to internal I got an Insufficient space error. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling thos apps
How big is your ext partition? At least 512 MB is necessary. But the latest CM10 builds appear to require more than 768 MB, I'm using 1 GB in my ext partition.
I have 1GB ext partition on my card and had no problem with it.
Hey I know this should probably go under Q&A, but After I get the awnser I will post howto and directions. Mainly I wanted to repartition the pre-install, and maybe the data, and maybe cache, and maybe even the osh, and internal sdcard.
1. Would like to install a webtop mod on internal memeory not using external sdcard, to do this would need to repartition internal memory.
2. Would like to resize cache partition remove 300+ MB, change data partition remove 1GB, change internal memory remove 1GB, change pre-install, and osh remove any exsess memory, probably 300+ MB, wich would give me around 3 GB of memeory freed up internally. I would also like to remove any exsess on system, but that isnt nessicary. if I am able to do all of this, and remove excess memory on system the remaining memeory on system would become a swap partitoin
3.create 2 new partitoins internaly after the last partion on your device, normaly is the internal sdcard, would be a 3GB partition and a 100-200 MB partition, the 3GB would be for the webtop mod to sdcard, only now hosted internally. and the 100-200 would be for swap space, I might up the swap space to 512MB and the webtop down 2.5 depends on how this all works, and what I need it to do when I am done.
Please Post some replys, links , and info. I remember someone on here did change the pre-install partition, I also know that the safestrap 1-2.0 remaps the pre-install partiton for the safestrap to stay. please post all info and help me make my device usable on the front line.
Hi i wanna now how can i fusion the "sdcard" with "sd-ext" in JB.. I've saw a lot of phones that the intrenal memory is the ROM memory for us and the microSD card is the sdcard partition .. so my finnaly question is how can we do that or make the ROM mem to be 8Gb and the sd card part to be up to 32Gb
i've been back with some explications of what i wanna do with munt points so let's start...
Firs of all i wanna make one partition of system storge and usb storage to one system storage (a normal partition for android phones) equivalent of 1.97+3.92=5.89Gb as internal mem. See partitions in the print screen
Then i wanna make the "SD card", actualy mounted as "extsdcard", the USB storgage in my case
For explaining you i have here a photo from a Vodafone Smart II (Alcatel v860) that has the partition management that i want

As far I know you can only swap places of external and internal memory. You cannot fuse it.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36613948
And on that image I do not see any fusion of internal and external memory. It just shows capacity of it. And it is swaped too, internal become external and external become internal.
yes because in that image the internal mem (in our case 8G = 6gb + 2GbROM) it's a single partition and ours is splitted in two the internal and usb storage and in the 2nd picture the sdcard from image is a 2Gb microSD card
Now you understand me

No, you got it wrong. In second image there is 2GB internal memory that is transformed to be external. And extrenal with 32GB is set to be internal. And that is exacly what is done in this link I give to you.
P.S. And our phone is 8GB=4GB storage + 2GB app partition + 2GB for other system needs (ROM, RAM etc...).
P.P.S. Tell me again, what do you want to do? To make internal memory bigger?
i wanna intall a lot of games and apps that has the data folder in internal mem and the data is big like RF2013 or NFSMW or Asphalt 7 and more games and if i have 16 gb microsd card i wanna use it for this, music and movies
so tell me if its a way to reassamble that two partitions or combine the last two
P.S. I said 6Gb because in the earlier post you can see i calculate the sum of that first 2 partitions firs about 2 Bg like you say and econg about 4 Gb again like you said

Short, and clear - use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36613948&postcount=1017
"changed memory" It will make your external SD to act like internal. And all data for stuff you install will go there.
