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?

Well, we all know that Doc's method will not work on custom ROMs. A similar method is possible on custom ROMs and that is by using the Amarulz' script to mount the ext-partition as your internal memory. You can search it on the Dev Thread. But remember that using the memory card as your internal memory will result to a slightly slower performance on the applications.
there are so many scripts and app to do that like dt app2sd script, amuralz script, s2e script, link2sd app, and many more but out of them I like link2sd app because it allow me which app to move and which to not
thanQ all,

feel some lag

I never used a smartphone before and now here i am with a small basic phone trying to figure out how things can be done...but...
I hardly can install 6-7apps in this phone..even though i install the file in SD card it still takes 2-4mb space from internal..
and mine is not rooted but i tried rooting before and it did nothing may be because i really dont know what to be done.
Anyways i just want to know is there anyway i can add few more apps like atleast 10apps in this phone?? i do have few preinstalled apps..and it cant be moved i know but things like GO apps i cant move it to SD..but my friends ACE can n i have no clue why i cant????? it neva show move to SD in mine but in his phone it does..can anybody help me in installing few more apps ..in this thing...i will be so greatful if u can and Thanks in advance.

you need a ext4 partition on your sd card and an app which enables you moving apps to sd like "link2sd", "s2e" or similar. And you need to root your phone.
Look a bit around in the ace section here on xda and youll find everything you need

addition : if you a user-type that like to remove your sdcard, better to use link2sd instead of any type extended-internal memory

Just switch off your phone before removing sd card.

you must create ext3 or ext4 primary partition on your sdcard. to create partition, install mini tool partition wizard to your pc. then you can use link2sd to link dalvik caches to your sdcard. or, if you use cm7 as your rom, you can install s2e. to remove system apps, use link2sd

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..
Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

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

Is the MIUI ROM that you try to use is Jellybean or Gingerbread? I saw your post in the MIUI JB but here you say GB. When you format the SD card, ext should be logical. Which recovery do you?

well let's start again! you need to create an ext partition, use mini partition tools, here it is a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844, until point 11!... avoid the rest of them and finally install the rom following the instructions
Edit: the rom is using the int2ext script, so right "/data" partition is symlinked to your sd-ext partition, so maybe it is the problem

i have ext partion.
i have created ext 4 with mini tool but i didnt use link2sd .
if i didt understand wrong, this methot moves the flashed roms. the rom i ask about flash directly sd (i think). because i couldn open the phone without partion. when i look memory i see the created part as phone memory. i couldnt understand about it. should i use link2sd in this case. if i do link2sd steps ,will the problems end?

According what you said the script is working, so Link2sd is NOT neccesary.
Int2ext increase de internal memory, this script mount your sd-ext partiotin and link it with /data partition, so if you created a 512mb ext partition, you should see about 5120mb as internal memory.
The rom is under construction, you can also try to start again as I said you following all the steps
as you said i have same internal memory.
i ll follow all steps . should i create ex4 or ext2. I read ext4 is better for class10. and one more question will bugs end after this

If you have a class 6 or 10 sdcard make a ext4 partition, if not you can also use an ext4 partition but it will do a little slower your rom.
I can't guarantee that everything will work well, but It should, note that the rom as I said you before, is under construction so It've several bugs, you can try another rom CM10 by Mardon, Oldroid or Bieltv3 e.g. or a Stock based rom
I like this rom s wiev. I havent use ext portion and I want to learn .also I didn't see any bad thing about it.
When I see bugs I think I have made a mistake. Now I know what should I do. If won't work I'll try another.
You are very patient. Thanks alot.
