Hi
Is it possible to change the data partition that it is by default 2gb size?
I would want about 4gb, I have a lot of apps and I got all the time the low space advice, and I can't move more to the sdcard partition because then the bug of reboot appears and I can't use the phone.
I just want to have 4/8 instead of the default 2/10.
thanks
Wait for ICS. In ICS system partition and storage partition will be the same.

Even on devices with real sd card?
Have that the beta ics roms for note?

Not true...ICS won't change this behavior at all.

I have Android running from an SD card on my Bell HTC touch. I would like to upgrade to a faster and bigger SD card.
Can I just copy the contents from one card to the other (from windows) without re-installing?
unless your using any kind of ext2 partition, yes you can just copy everything over and it'll go fine with the new one.

If you are using EXT2 partitions on your old card...
1) Using your old SD card, reboot and press the "D" pad button
to bring up the Repli-Menu
2) Back up your data using the "RepliMenu" option
3) Copy all files from old SD card to the new SD card
4) Press the "D" pad button to bring up the replimenu
- Install System and any androidupdates
- Restore data
5) Quit Repli-Menu and you are all done!
Whats`s the advantage of setting up ext2 partitions?
I'm just curious.

you can create as big of data as you want with a partition instead of a 256mb img file. I for instance have a 512mb ext partition setup so i can have system on nand and data on partition and i can install as many apps as i want pretty much instead of having a limit.

with having the partitions do you notice a speed increase?

no if anything its a decrease. Nand is always the fastest way to go. But not to much difference.
Although mssmisons latest sense is much faster on nand

So without any ext2 partitions, I'm limited to a total of 256 MB of space for apps, data etc regardless of the size of my SD card?
Is this correct?

This is what I am currently doing: I made a 1GB ext4 partition, and i link all my apps to that using Link2SD.
This is working and i maintain about 100MB free on my internal memory. I have seen some other screenshots of ACE users, that somehow trick their phones to thinking that the Sd partition is the internal memory and everythign will automatically install there, and in system storage it reports the total space as that of the partition and not the ~100 MB.
how can i do this? what apps do I need

that looks confusing as hell. and he doesnt even use an ace. before i try it and may ruin something, has anyone tried this with an ace
Lol. What u describe there is what the amarullz script doing, swapping internal memory with sdcard and made phone think sdcard is the phone memory for app data.

LOL, just copy and paste script and set permission.....
dont need to read the whole thread
looking at his picture, it seems like he will be saving more files on the internal memory as opposed to what im doing now where everything is on SD. is that not counter intuitive

yes, but the creator said it will improve overall performance.
the more you install app = more dalvik cache
and one day, your internal memory become full.....of dalvik cache
so is there a way to still have everything on the SD card, but also have the phone think that the 1GB partition is the internal memory
I have CyanogenMod 7.2 on my phone with CronMod memory mod. My internal memory shows that I still have 456 MB of space from my 758 MB ext4 partition. Yet phone show info that I have low storage space. Why?
Which script did you use?
CronMod-INT2EXT4+

That's really weird. It's not supposed to happen. Though I have had some issues like that, it's because you know some parts of the app stay in the internal memory of the phone, they have to be manually moved to the SD over time. Since it's a really small amount of storage that that part of the app takes, it really shouldn't be a problem. But since you have a lot of them installed, you're gonna have to manually move the apps to the SD.
Use Titanium Backup and batch move the heaviest apps you have to the SD and it'll work normally.

are you sure your EXT partition is EXT4? Make sure cuz CWM formats the EXT partition to EXT 3.
Try Cronmod Int2ext+
I am sure

Just use the normal INT2EXT+ with the CWM made partition.

I heard that for every use of 500mb of external memory we need 100mb internal memory as it store some files every time we install a app...

Do I need to use swap for this to work? if so, can you recommend which size I use?
Thanks in advance

Swap and A2SD are two completely different and non related subjects.

Sorry, I'm just having no luck getting the fixed IN2EXT4+ to work on an international galaxy ace. the script creates a file in the init.d folder, as opposed to the unfixed version, but it still doesn't mount or recognise the ext partition on the SD card. I've followed your guides very closely, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...
after each attempt, i start from scratch (clean ROM install), and yet I keep failing ;/
I partition using CWM recovery 5, so does that create an ext4 partition or 3/lower?
Thanks for your time

Really. You really haven't noticed it. Look at the script you're flashing and the one on my guide.

My system storage almost full. I would like to resize the partition by free up the internal sdcard space.
Is it possible to do it in Original ROM of 4.1.2? It should be better to do it easily.

Use titanium backup or a tool like that to delete system apps which you don't need. Before you do delete them though first freeze them to make sure you don't delete something needed.

Resizing the system partition won't give you anything. What exactly do you want to do? Because if you want more space for your installed user apps then you should check this out:

By default, all of the system storage is 2GB. I want it more. Is it possible resize the system storage partition from 2GB to 4GB or more ( using the 16GB ROM storage to add in to the system storage)
