Create an ext2/3-partition as described here: http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
For more RAM, create a swap partition, as described here: http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
Please keep in mind that swap will not make your device faster, it will only keep background processes alive for longer. Sdcard read/write speed is way slower than real RAM.

I get 70mb free ram with cm7.2.4d(gapps not installed). Real smooth. I use lightning launcher,very simple, uses less ram. Phone is damn smooth.
Not using JIT frees some more ram.

How I know if I have swap partition that work fine?

Open the Terminal Emulator and type free
If you see numbers in the 'swap' row your swap is working fine, if there are only zeros then something is wrong.

thnks. i have swap and ext2 partition. ext3 can help ?

I recommend you to upgrade to EXT4 (it can be done easily from FuFu's MiniMod).
Ext3 is a journaling file system, which means the possibilities of a data-loss is really low, and Ext4 does everything the Ext3 does, just better.

[Q] An App to show all partitions and filesystem information

Hi All
Is there an app that can show all the partitions and file system type (rfs, ext3 or ext4) and free space?
Thanks
Mike
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011152 but not really compatible with my SGS.
I use disk usage, great tool for having a disk clearup, and I also use sd maid for helping clear up, hope this helps

[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

Because you've installed many apps.
Ok but what about " you can install lots of apps on your Ace with ext4 partition" ? But you are still limited, right?
I have INT2EXT4+

There are sufficient memory are available in your internel.that you can move applications to your sd.but These scripts are for a min.class 6 sd card user.
Also Runs on class 4 with poor performance.
Do this trick..it will improve your performance.
Go to titanium backup.
First convert such system apps to user apps what you wont be use much.
Second convert such a user apps into system apps that you are using daily.
Not increase memory but definately gives performance to you.

Does the memory hack work for cm7

My phone has link2sd and using 2gb ext4 partion but the phone is saying its out of space is there a way to increase the phones memory like the psn mem hack?? Or another way to do it if that way is not possible!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Psn Memory hack is made for stock ROM and CM9/10
You can browse the android development section to check out whether there is memory hack for CM7
Even if you do have a working cm7 memory hack kernel, don't use it in conjunction with any a2sd scripts. You can get into trouble! Try cronmod scripts instead.

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

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!
