i know that we should all try out which seems to be best fitting for our own personal taste, but i just want to know if who uses what the most. so please, tell me: which rom you use and what you use to transfer apps to your partition because i have tried a lot of other scripts and apps, but i just can't seem to decide which is the best. thanks in advance if you would cooperate
I am on cm7.2RC5.2 and use 'link2sd' for linking apps to sd.

I use CM7 RC5.5 with darktremor script and this script.
I'm using CM7 RC5.5 along with s2e.
everything works very well.
I have use s2e and darktremor both are good and working but i think darktremor is the better choise!! Havent try the both other!!
Notice: on s2e app do not sync automatic like weather etc. on darktremor no problem!!

when i was on mini i used link2sd because it lets me choose which app to move and which to not
I see most of you use link2sd. But for those who use s2e, have you already experienced a time when you boot your sgm, you suddenly lose all your apps and you can't check or uncheck the Applications box?

Did not experience this problem. Been using s2e for a long time. You can check the Application data by going to s2e settings and check Advance mode. Restart s2e, and you should be able to check it. But I think its impratical to move it to sd-ext. The developer had it default to not move it. I mean, what's the use of your internal memry if nothing's on it? Afaik, the developer chose not to move it since it needs a high I/O speed and internal mem best suits the requirement. It's only practical to move it if you have a class 10 sd card.. still its the users choice, so..

A sd card class 10 certified is a must if you don't want to loose so much speed compared to internal memory.
Although reading speed is not that prob for many card, writing is the more important factor. There class 10 should give you best results.
You can also gain more speed setting a higher sd read ahead cache size. You can do it via an app (sd speed increase for example) or a rom which supports it (cm7 rc5.5 squadzone for example).

Use s2e
I use emanon V4 and i have try both of darktremor n s2e..maybe darktremor is better than s2e but i like to use s2e
Its not just you who experienced s2e corrupting the partition and destroying all partition data suddenly. It happened to me thrice and got me pissed like ****. Now I removed partition, formatted my 8 GB memory card. Flashed cm7 by subskype. Using the default cyanogen settings options to set default installation directory to external memory i.e memory card. Am done with this partition crap.

To everyone, thanks a lot for cooperating. I think I'd try s2e, link2sd, darktremor, and the move to sd card settings in cyanogenmod each in a week. Then I'll see which one I think is best.

When you say it is slow, you mean launching and using apps is slow? Or the linking/moving process?
I'm also thinking about using one of these 2 apps, so i'm interested in the answers you will get here

What class is your sdcard? It might be that the card itself is slow?
You have the same problem when you install apps directly on the sdcard?
Sorry to post more questions than answers, but I really wanted to try it, but if it slows down apps, maybe, I will try something else.

Ok, but do you which class it is?
It should be written inside a circle on your card.
Class 10 is really fast, for example. But if you have a class 4 card, or less, that could be what slows down apps.
Btw I prefer Link2SD because I can choose which apps can go to the SD Card

Maybe that is why it is slower than on your internal memory.
Did you notice the same slow down when you simply move apps on SD, the "classic" way?
By the way, I installed Link2sd yesterday, with an ext4 partition on a class 10 card, and it seems to work fine for now.
Only weird thing I noticed : with the rom I use, link2sd was unable to install the mounting script if i selected ext4 as a partition type.
When I selected ext3, it worked. I read that some roms have trouble with ext4, and others with ext3, but I didn't think I could mount a ext4 formatted partition as an ext3.
I'm using link2sd with a class 10 sdcard and there still are no lags...Everything smooth and fast (Rom: CyanogenMod7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4)

Link2sd is the best for me. I am using link2sd about 3 months and I can say that's the best. But if you dont think like that, you can try app2sd or s2e.

the rom itself change ext4 u made to ext3....
A little update.
After one day of use, I managed to have my sd-ext partition messed up.
It could only be mounted read-only.
I had to reinstall everything.
So maybe I will try some alternatives like a2sd.
For those who tried these apps, which partition type do you recommand? fat? ext2, 3, or 4?
I'm using Link2sd. DT A2SD is buggy to me. Link2sd works great on CM9 beta 8 with my Sandisk 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6

Biggest problem with the original script was that it swapped your internal memory with your ext. partition. Leaving your dalvik cache on your true internal memory. As time went by I noticed that the more apps I installed my true internal memory got smaller and smaller So I modified the script so that the dalvik cache also got moved to the ext. partition! Bye doing so, your only limitation to how many apps you can install depends on your ext. partition size!
Download Link : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47295121/40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip
Installation:
1. Download attached zip copy to sd card
2. Boot into CWM > Mount System
3. Flash the zip file
4. Reboot system
5. Don't forget to hit"THANKS"
Note: Works best on newly flashed ROM's with no apps yet installed.
so, the conclusion is, yours is better than his script?

You just lose the anmount of space you use for swapping ofc
I tried swapping on many roms and system tends to lag a bit, but i f you want to browse for hours without browser FCing then you can use swap.
The effect on sd cqrd obviously isnt positive but it is not even negative cause you are just ising up.space on your sd card. I have used swap on many roms i.have felt it become smoother.

please dont use swapper 2 from market it doesnt support our device. i lost my 8 gb sd card due to that (got a new 32gb one) our mini not supported in the list given a2sd gui i have not tried i used swapper but system lags so switched to swapit my mini is so smooth and so awesome.
Swapper for Root
Swapper for Root user :laugh:
I've tried Swapper 2 and it's just worked fine, but you need a kernel that support swap partition of course.
And I recommend you to up date your busybox.

I don't believe you can resize the partition after creating it. What you can do is back up your CM slot, delete the slot, recreate it with a larger data partition, and then restore your CM backup.
That makes sense... thanks kwyrt!

Just boot in to safestrap, select "Backup", select where you want to save it, name it, then slide the toggle and it will back up your current ROM slot. Piece of cake.

I didn't even realize I made a small slot until I went for months fighting against space limitations, wondering why DiskUsage wasn't recognizing all of my internal storage. Slot1 has been such a daily (read: only) driver that I didn't even think about safestrap's slot partitioning.
