Hello. I've just partitioned 256M of my 2GB SD card using CWM version 5.0.2.6 for s5830 . Now how do I transfer apps to SD? Also i have most of my apps on SD except for Facebook and Maps yet still the internal memory is 160/180 Thanks
Use link2sd

Link2SD
Use the app Link2SD From the PlayStore. it's free and its easy to use
But Link2SD says i need to create 2 partitions and both as primary?? All i did was use CWM to create a 256M partition. What do u mean primary ? sorry i'm new to all this.
You now have two partitions. 256 mb ext3 and the remainder primary.
Link2sd will use the ext3.
256 is small though.

It is asking me to choose which partition. Is that ext2 or ext3?
EDIT: I chose ext2 and it rebooted my phone without asking me.
Cwm creates an ext3 partition. Reboot is normal to mount partition.

I had my 4 GB SD card partitioned to an 890 mb ext4, a 200 mb swap, the rest as fat32.
Then I switched to Froyobread v18 and skipped installing app2sd because I could "Move To SD" from the application manager.
Now my question is, does the move happen to the Fat32 partition or the ext4? And do I need to the partition at all?
Also, what difference does it make if I dont install App2SD at all if Froyobread allows me to move to SD?
Both.

hello guy
i want to ask u all
how can i partition my sd card using cwm?
i can see advanced > partition sd card
if can, can u show how to do it and what to do after done this step?
is it safe?
i want to do it via minitool partition but i do not have sd card reader
i'm using ketut blackhawk dxkt7 rom
You can partition the sd card using CWM recovery.
Be sure to backup your data as in the partition the sd card is formatted.
After selecting partition sd card the first thing you will see is the option to select the size of the partition that you want to make (generally select 1024=1gb).
Next will be the swap size. This is optional.
After selecting these options your sd card will be formatted with a 1gb ext partition.
Hope this helps.

No. Install S2E and your life will be a whole lot easier.

I use CWM partitioning in conjunction with DTA2SD and it's awesome

I'm with SuperAce609 here. Look into my signature and find the link in which I've thanked him. After partitioning your SD card, the only thing you have to do is install S2E and reboot your SGA after you install any CM7 based Custom ROM. & boom! No matter if you install 100+ apps, you will never be out of internal memory.
use the search option.
Hello i am newbi in this amazing world of android and i have A question were i can found the cwm recovery link becasu i looking fir that here and i can't found it thanks

Ok, this is my LG Optimus 3D system:
System ROM:1GB
Internal ROM: 1GB
Internal SD Card: 6GB
Ext SD Card: 32GB
I always facing "out of internal memory" problem. So, if I ever partition my SD Card vi CWM, what will change? Which part can be greater in size?

Can't. CWM makes ext3 partition, period.
You'd have to modify cwm to get it to partition in ext4 format.
I found this "4EXTRecovery" interesting for making ext4, just to make sure if anyone use and confirmed it work.

Thanks.
According to my experience.. cwm 5.0.2.6 for galaxy ace makes an ext2 partition.. It doesn't give any other ext option.. I don't know how is it possible to make ext3/4 partition using cwm..
By the way, what's the latest cwm version for galaxy ace ??

To avoid so much trouble just use a swap file.

im a bit confused about this...reformat the sd card 1st or do the steps of partitioning sd card? after partitioning sd card then reformat sd card again?
Do it from CWM recovery. It will format the card and partition it for app2sd and for swap. Just specify what sizes you want. Remember to backup your SD card.

It uses a swap file, not partition, hence there is no need for formatting or repartitioning .

True but its a hassle to just sit there waiting for the swap file to get created, especially if you want large sizes like 256Mb. Its also slower compared to a partition.

It doesn't take that long, and anyway since swap is already so slow the speed difference between partition and file is not much. Plus it is less hassle to create swap file, than repartitioning.

Help me please

alfs suport ext 2/3/4
check with a partition tool the sd,must be
Fat 32: primary(above 1024mb)
ext2/3/4: primary(max 1024mb)
and if you have swap: logical
For better results reformat your ext2 to ext3,backup your sd card first
I have a 16gb sd and 1024mb ext3 primary partition and it work
25 apps installed some of them in internal and my free internal space is 201 mbs
No need link2sd apk just move each app in settings/manage applications/to sd and automatically they moved to ext partition
Can't sent to ext(i have ext2)
I already test it
backup your sd card to a pc folder and repartition to fat32 primary and second primary ext3 512 or 1024mb
or you can also partition your sd via CWMrecovery
All actions it will format the card so BeCareful
