[Q] SD partitions

Hi guys
Could anyone explain to me what it does when you have partitions on your SD'cards ?
And in the Eye candy rom, there's something about "Hard Coded 2MB SD cache"
What does all this means ?
Sorry for beeing a noob in this area
(using SwiftDroid V2.0 RC3)

I think this is the hard coded SD cache, but without this app. Install, set to 2MB, check the box and apply.

Im using an 8gb sd what is the correct partition ext value

the exit partition number isn't important you can have two or three what's important is how much cache you give the sd or how big swap partition is for your card I would say ext 3 512 mb swap 256 mb and 2.5 mb sd cache should be good hope this helps also you can check your memory in terminal just type su then free

You can't physically increase the phones internal memory size, but your SD partition can be any size you wish. I assume your looking to use your SD card to store apps?

swap sd card as ram

hey friends... There is a memor card with 90mb/s write speed(sandisk extreme pro16gb). I think this speed is enough for usig sd as ram. Hey devs beg you try to swap upto 2gb

Is that even possible for our mobiles ???

This swaps only the mountpoints from sdcards
he wants a linux swap partition which is handled by the phone as ram. More like a outlay of ram!

[Q] big sized sd card

N oE Hello everyone this is my first post please tell me that is it safe to include 16 gb class 10 card for our ace
I mean will the phone slow down or not if not then will the speed remain good if i create a ext partition of 1 gb out of it

No worries bout the speed but ext partition reduces the health of the sd card. So becareful n hit thnx if helpd.

so a 1 gb partition should be ok or not should a small partition should be made

whether u make 1gb or 512mb partition reduces the life of sd card. I prefer and am using 1gb with 0 swap is enough for use. All the best for partitioning. hit thnx if helpd

Actually 1GB of partition is not at all necessary. It is just a mere waste of space as ace cannot persist so many installed apps. 512MB is more than enough & for me, just 256MB is enough.

As someone said the ext partition if use to only save in apks is totally safe and will not demage your sd card in any way. Apps will run maybe faster than on interal memory. Remeber to keep apps cache clean and to relink apps and cache in order to keep performance as high as possible. That's all I think. Good luck and for any question I'm here, you can send me PM anytime. Peace!
