Ok seems many usrs here have the same problems over and over again. so heres a tut!
This will probably cover many other topics but simplified here as much as i can.
You Must have the following to get this to work:
ROOT
Recovery 5.0.2.6
busybox installed.
if you have non of these...do not attempt any of this thread till you have!
To start with.
Creation of EXT3 Partitions.
you will need Minitool Partition Wizard. Mini Tool Partition Wizard Download
This is a harddrive/diskspace program allowing accurate modification of disk space.
Never create an EXT3 in CWM, as this will create whats known as a swap drive.
this causes the bootloop. Hence the non boot!
EXT3 has to be set as primary drive not logical.
Size allowance recommendations (personal choice, but this is after a few findings and results given by Salsa users)
SD Card Size.................................EXT3 Size
2GB......(Class 2).............................250MB
4GB......(Class 2-4)..........................500MB
8GB......(Class4-6)...........................500MB-1GB
16GB....(Class8-10).........................1.2GB
WARNING, anything over 1.5GB will result in serious problems and SD damage
This also works around class types of SD Card. the higher the class the faster it works, there are various brands offering different class cards, find a fast and big card for best performance. I currently use Class 8 16GB with 1GB Ext3 with little/no lag
Wise idea before this to make an SD backup, if done correctly your data will not be affected...if you screwed up...you'll loose everything...so back it up!
To start with,
Remove Sd Card and use and SD Reader and insert into your computer USB Slot.
Open Minitool Partition Wizard.
Resize your sd card accordingly leaving 1.2-1.5gb of unallocated space. Apply the actions.
Now you have the unallocated space, reformat the space in EXT3 and set as Primary drive. Apply Actions.
Now normally the Application throws your sd out and says bad drive......this is sometimes normal so don't panic.
Reinsert your Sd in Phone and boot into recovery only
Data2sd script
theres 2 scripts available for these roms.
htc-data2sd-ext3 or data2whatever by m1ndh8x4r.
2.1 Roms work well with htc-data2sd-ext3 script with no problems.
data2whatever works really well with 3.5 sense Roms (Bens/M1nds)
*****There is a warning with this data2whatever script....When using this script, you will notice after a short period, that you cannot update or install any more apks. This is due to a Dalvik error within the script on Deodexed roms, currently it cannot be fixed, you have been warned*****
these can be used easily but the following rules must be applied.
You must flash the rom firstly by the 3 wipes...regardless!
flash the rom as normal and reboot full, letting the rom fully build it self and load up... ie input your details/sign in wifi etc.
check it out for a few mins while your waiting...hey even make a backup lol!
OK now reboot in recovery and flash the chosen script....DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!
once flashed reboot normally.
it will boot, it may take up to 5-10mins but it will boot. if by any chance you a boot loop at the boot animation screen then you have an EXT3 fault and you must redo the EXT3 Partition in Minitool to proceed again.
data2sd scripts are here>
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?duigp9ky9796b65 for htc-data2sd-ext3.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m7bv6pk024p63ef for d2extv0.43.zip (New/Advanced)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qr5rh2fho1hnbnl for data2whatever
This is a proven way and so many have tried and failed other ways.
Please try this guide. If you get stuck please just ask!
Please Answer my poll at the top and Thank this post...Ty!
If you Answer NO to this guide, please post below and tell me why so i may help further
Heyy it worked thanks man

Trying to do this with fdisk on linux
It works but runs slowly for some reason
I have a 2GB cards, first partition is about 1.4 for normal /sdcard the remaining .4GB for /data
Both partitions are start aligned on 2048 sectors
Issue - applications get corrupted after restart
I am facing strange issue. I did everything described above and have /data on sd. But everytime I reboot something happens to most apps. They are installed but when I try to launch any of them I got errors and application closes. I need to reinstall EVERY app and they work until next reboot. Any ideas about the cause or what to check ? At this point I am trying not to discharge or reboot my phone by it;s impossible to keep it that way.

no dont lol...ok sounds a bit stupid but have u got root? because what your describing is and apps2sd thing...which u cant get on stock rom....but if u dont have full root....then this sort of thing does happen....or...you got a faulty ext3 partition...
questions next...
which guide did u make ext3?
size and did u make swap?
root?
Need file name of the data2sd script u used and how u used it...(this is important)
so i need full break down....assuming u have root that is....this almost sounds like a silly problem, but then most of us don't use stock roms anymore....so we dont have this problem lol

Of course I have a root - it works perfectly. I created the partition according to above instructions (I mean this thread). My ext3 partition is about 800 MB and 3200 MB is for FAT32. I did not create swap - just fat32 and ext3 with Partition Wizard. I used htc-data2sd-ext3.zip in I think normal way - phone reset, installing busybox, reboot, installing script with recovery - done. Everything is perfect until next reboot.

Funny thing
I used my previous card (smaller - just 2 GB) and there's no such behaviour as with my 4GB. Smaller one is Sandisk, bigger one is Kingstone - both known for good products. So switching ROM is rather not an option. There's something about SD but I can not figure out what...
Pls help
I have created 6gb of fat32 and copied ROM and data2sd-ext3.zip then formatted remaining 1gb space in ext3. When I tried to install zip from recovery mode it throws "E: can't mount /sdcard/"

how did you make the partitions? and are they set as primary?
what class sd card is it? you need a class 8 or 10 on that size.
I used mini tool for partition. I set fat32 as logical and ext3 as primary. I have 8gb class 10 SD.
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using XDA
Shrink the ext3 to 750mb and set all partitions as primary.
BigBear is using Xparent Tapatalk Purple
Yep now I can see my data in SD card. Another problem I triple wiped and flash arc rom again, and given detail/sign in. When trying to flash script in recovery mode, it asks for busybox in some sys folder. I don't have busybox and also script installed, but ext3 memory not reflects in as main memory. Am I used different script or I need to install busybox, if so how to do that.?
I installed busybox @ system/xbin and flashed script, it worked. Finally my internal memory problem solved:thumbup:
I request to add installing busybox step and download link for script in tutorial.

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.

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?

Final Question: What Partition type should i use? Ext2, Ext3 or Fat32??

Hy everybody,
My question is at the bottom
Internal memory is not enough on galaxy ACE ? sd card can be partitioned and used with "llink2sd" as internal memory.
I did :
- Using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition I partitioned SD card to two primary fat32 partitions.
- I rebooted my phone with sd card in it
- EXPECTED it to be mounted correctly, to run Link2SD to format second partition to ext3 or keep it fat32 or wathever.
BUT :
Android says that sd card is damaged
Reasons :
- Android expects one partition formatted in FAT32 with no MBR (?) in the begining of the memory :silly:
Solution :
- Partition memory with a tool that can tell Android how to read MBR or how to deal with multi partition sd card. tools like Rom manager.
My question is, is there another way to tell Android how to deal with my sd card ? without changing the rom ? using for example terminal emulator ? or can you please explain to me how I can use Rom manager to partition ? cause I didn't succeed with it.
and pleeease I'm just fed up with answers like :
"but why do you need to partition ?"
"why don't u just use app2sd ?"
"why don't you get a girlfriend instead of spending all your time on a phone that you hate ?"
NB : I updated my phone manually to 2.3.6 then rooted it. I don't want to use custom roms EXCEPT if you give me a hint about the best roms arround
Thank you in advance

2. boot Clockworkmod recovery (Home + Power)

No you only need to install PSN.
It is a DATA2EXT SCRIPT. I am happy with it.
I prefer SD-EXT > 1GB, its enough, and you need a Class 6 sdcard

Welcome to the forum.
Our Ace (and other phones) doesn't recognize a SD card partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Instead download CWM 5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291327
Then turn the phone off. Reboot into recovery mode by holding the power and the home button till the Samsung logo appears for the second time. Choose apply update from SD card and install CWM.
Reboot into recovery again. This time there should be the CWM recovery.
Select Advanced > Partition sdcard
But backup the data on your SD card using your computer before doing that and restore them afterwards.
Then reboot the phone and Link2SD and the OS will recognize the card. However, this method will create an ext partition which is better for that use.
For ROMs:
This is the best I have found so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173576
If you want Cm, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199575

Works with any kernel, any Rom. But backup everything on your memory card before partitioning. Partitioning erases everything on it. And by the way, if the commands I gave on my thread haven't worked for you, check for my previous post on the thread. These commands must work on gingerbread and the ones in op should work for cm10.1

Actually, you can use Minitool Partition Wizard to be use with Link2SD.
First make sure your phone is rooted.
Second, by using minitool make 2 partition on sd card.
First Partition make sure It PRIMARY and file system is FAT32
Second Partition also make sure it PRIMARY and file system is EXT3 or EXT4
(I would like to recommend EXT3 because many roms support this file system)
Install the Link2SD, open the app, select the file system and reboot.
You will get your Link2SD worked.
ps : How about using Final S'Periance rom with Memory Mod kernel. Just do the SD Card Partition and flash the rom. All your problem with internal memory will gone.

Link2SD will work but your first partition won't be recognized, at least in Jelly Bean.

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.
(Sory for my bad english)

Try again flash the Android 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 for roms and bootloader xxx015. You have the right bootloader?

Recoveries built into the nAa kernel for MiniCM9 do not mount the memory card either
I did not try kernel for MiniCM10 because its latest version is on closed site

The operating system sees the memory card
I even tried low level formatting with HDD Low Level Format Tool
Memory cards parameters are: Transend 8 GB Class 10 File system FAT32 cluster size 4096 bytes (with it memory cards as fast as possible)

I had the same problem on the Acer Iconia Smart and Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i
On Acer I solved it by installing TWRP
On the S5830i I solved it by selling my smartphone
