go to CWM recovery
go to advanced
partition sd
follow the instructions (size: 1024mb recommended, swap: 0mb)
then go to mount/format and format ext [optional]
use any script/app to move your apps, data, cache ... etc (I like Link2SD)
voila
Best Regards

I have read above procedure and the link given, still if someone can clear my confusion will be appreciable.
I want to partition my sd card. I am not asking how to do, just tell me where I am wrong in the follwing steps.
1- format sd card
2- partition thru CWM recovery. By giving proper details of partition, and choose ext3. So tell me how it would be ext4.(I have read somewhere on)
3- Flash any script like a2sd, darkmentors etc....
4- Use any app like A2SDGUI, link2sd etc.
5- success.
One more confusion, do I have to flash the script every time I change rom, or it comes preloaded in some roms.
(I am currently on apocalypse final.)

2nd...
Man develpmnt section seems to be on fire their are so.mannnnnnny Roms out their so i need to ask few thing i know the rules n.m.not askin best rom ... as i cant surf fully through ma phone every single page of roms ... i need to ask is

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?

SD-EXT

I am looking forward to make a partition of my SD Card to allow easier installation of apps.
I have a 16GB Micro-SD Card and i'm looking forward to make a 4GB Partition.
I've heard of amarullz script and I definitely want to use it.
I searched XDA Alot, and i found out that there are different partition types. So if someone could kindly answer these questions, It would be great:
1) Can you give me a simple and efficient guide on how to partition using CWM, or anything else?
2) What partition type should i use.
3) Does Amarullz script need to be configured or it's the simple flashing.
4) Is there any way to automatically move apps to sd-ext without apps like S2E. I think the scripts do that but i'm not sure.
Thanks.
xD

1 no, use search and check the stickies. Cwm and partition guides are all over the place. Reading several guides to do it will help you in case something doesn't go as planned.
2 depends. Stock roms work better with fat32 and ext2 partitions. Custom roms work good with any ext format partition. Cwm creates ext3 format partitions, for other formats use another partitioning tool (minitool partition wizard).
3 just flash it and reboot twice. It needs a kernel that supports /init.d, which most custom roms have, and stock roms can be flashed with cf-root to enable /init.d.
4 yeah, the scripts do it. There are several, amarullz is one, there's also int2ext++ and darktremors (this one requires some user input though). Look them up, make your call.

oK..
Any link to a simple and efficient guide on partitioning??

Just a tip. Never go beyond 1GB SD-ext size. You'll just wait it coz app size are about 20-30 mb (the bigger ones) and you'll not be installing that much on your phone.
About partitioning you can just do it via CWM recovery.

Okk..
I just wanted to install over 10 pages of apps.
I heard partitioning through CWM makes an ext3 partition, and ext3 partitions are not supported.
One question: I'm following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476121
If i use minitool partition wizard and follow the instructions there. will amarullz script work?
And will it work on all roms like cm7, cm9 and stock????
Thanks.

Ext4 has been said around as unstable. *need to research more on this one*
Yes, CWM makes ext3 partition.
If you're using CM7 based ROM I'd suggest using S2E. Supports ext3, no errors whatsoever, 1GB is more than enough for over 100 apps, and make sure the SD Card is class 6 or higher, otherwise you might face performance issues. It's just install, tick and forget. Unlimited *theoretically* apps can be installed then
I do not have any idea on Amarulzz script though,
This Page might help

So what's the best partition??
If i follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
Will it succesfully get me the result?

Yes that's a good guide.

Ok. Great.
Final Question: What Partition type should i use? Ext2, Ext3 or Fat32??
It should work good with amarullz script and with stock and cm7 roms...
Damn. I try deleting partition through minitool and after that my sd card isn't recognized, it says damaged.
though i fixed it with a format. :/

Okk. I've finished the first step according to the guide.
Well. According to the guide "Step 2". and created the fat32 primary partition. Now on step 3 i'm kind of clueless. coz i can't click create new partition as it is greyed out.
I think i'm just gonna use CWM.
What's the procedure to use CWM, to partition for 4gb?? and then use amarullz??

Now, I'm going to use amarullz script. I see that it needs to be copied to init.d.
Isn't there any way to make a flashable zip coz i change roms aloot.

Cronmod works for me, i got almost 100 user apps and 20mb internal occupied :laugh: and I also made partition with Minitool partiton wizard, followed this tutorial :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cygl0qZnbaM
since you have already made a partition you will see 2 partitions, just right-click delete on both of them and create new partition of fat32 and follow the tutorial and dont put label ext2, put sd-ext.

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.
