I just want to know how many people use the swap partition or swapper on their galaxy mini
Also I want to know which partition is best for SD-EXT ext2,ext3 or ext4
Please share your views :fingers-crossed:
i used ext4 :good:
I'm using inbuilt ZRam partition for ram swap and my sd card's secondary partition is ext4
Don't use swap for ram but yeah ext3 for 2nd partin for with link2sd app

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

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

The S3-Evolution-Beta-3-Ultimate needs Ext3 or Ext4 partition on SDcard, but how much space do I need to create on a 2GB SD Card and what's the difference between Ext3 and Ext4.
Thanks to maxx35000 for creating this ROM :good:
make it for 500mb. .only ext 3 will work for 2gb card.

Thanks, I did this and when I connect it to a computer the memory card does not come up.
How you mange (apps,delete system apps,scripts and more) your milestone to get more free RAM and performance?
Thanks

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?
Sent from my Milestone using xda app-developers app
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.
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!
