*PLEASE FULLY READ THIS BEFORE TAKING ACTION*
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DATA AND PHONE! I'm just try my best to help you.*
OMG? too long's post? then go 2nd post which is shorter
Sounds impossible? But it is possible!
Wondering how??? Lets start.
What you must have
Hardware: Rooted HTC Wildfire, Micro SD Card, Card reader
1st, You need a wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 (V0.6 gives 165mb, v0.7 160mb, v0.8 102mb[without cache move to ext]) Wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 download page
2nd, Make sure that you BACKUP your SD card (copy whole SD card to computer).
3rd, Move wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 that you have already downloaded to the SD card (DONT delete the copy in computer).
4th, You need to WIPE ALL THE DATA (wipe/factory reset) in your wildfire and make sure that you have already made a backup of your rom before wiping.
5th, Make sure that you backup your SD card with your BACKUP (backup-ed rom).
6th, Run in recovery mode and select wipe/factory reset the data.
7th, Choose install zip from SD and install your wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1.
8th, After your rom has successfully copied to the system (phone), reboot your phone and wait for a few minutes. (it may take up to 10minutes)
9th, Now simply set up your data (you may ignore them, you don't need it).
10th, Go in to the rom manager, and choose partition SD. Default is ok. (I use 512mb, swap 0mb)
11th, Now your SD card will be wiped and will be partitioned.
12th, Now shut down your phone (take the battery out).
13th, Take out your SD card and copy your wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 to SD once again (make sure your phone is FULLY OFF).
14th, Now select system wipe (wipe/factory reset). [Dont worry about the partition, it won't format SD card]
15th, Install the wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 once again and wait for a few minutes.
16th, After successfully installed, you can set up your personal info. Now go to menu > setting > sd and phone storage > and you will see 160mb++ left.
17th, Now you can ignore the move to SD, you can leave all the apps in phone but after you have fully installed your apps, try to reboot. It will takes UP TO 10 MINUTES to move the apps to ext [It will take quite a long time, dont worry].
[P.S. It DOESN'T move the apps to sd, your apps still in phone, it only move 9/10 of the file size (MB) to ext and reduce the size in phone. So you have more available space in phone.]
18th, You're done!
Please go menu > setting > SD & Phone storage > and check available space.
IF IT IS LESS THAN 160MB, THERE IS PROBLEMS, please try again
*PLEASE CONTINUE READING*
***Something that you cant do***
1st, Mount as disk drive in USB is working.
[If you hate taking the SD out, here is the solution. Use Dropbox, a apps that you can download in your phone and computer. You can upload files to dropbox and download in phone. So nothing to worry about mp3.. files.. and games..]
2nd, DON'T simply take out the SD card without FULLY shut down the phone.
3rd, DON'T press unmount SD. Your phone will not working and hang.
If you need to move apps from computer to SD, FULLY shut down the phone and take out your SD and use a card reader.
What if partition not working? Showed >> [a Triangle with a Exclamation point]
1st, try take out your battery and try reboot and partition it again.
2nd, if it is still not working after several tries, try to go market and download the ROM Manager in market.
After partition, your files still in SD card?
1st, try go partition again.
2nd, your phone isn't root yet.
3rd, try another SD card.
When you want to connect your SD card by using Card Reader, it shows "You have to format before using it"
1st, try to get a new Card Reader.
2nd, try another SD card.
I need to change the size of my ext, How??
1st, backup your phone
2nd, copy SD to PC
3rd, go menu > setting > sd and phone storage > unmount SD > format sd
4th, create partition
5th, copy SD from PC
6th, go recovery, restore your phone
7th, all ext and files will restore to ext.
8th, restart and done.
I want cache move to ext. what should i do??
Use this code to move cache to ext.
You may install 0.6 rom then install 0.8 rom without wiping the old rom. And ext partition still working.
if not, you need to use this.
Code:
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)
a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
I want the apps that have in Wildpuzzle rom 0.6, and 0.8 doesn't have it. How???
Dont worry, you can create your own update zip or apps and install it by visiting How to create your own zip?

Then, here is the solution.
Now go to Wildpuzzle rom 2.2 V8.0.11 page to download select trackpad to wake up and download it. Go recovery and install from SD. So there is no more problem anymore. XD

Use this code to move cache to ext.
You may install 0.6 rom then install 0.8 rom without wiping the old rom. And ext partition still working.
if not, you need to use this.
You must have a2sd script install and type these code in terminal emulator.
Type su, it will have the superuser permission and type these code in depends on what you want to move.
Code:
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)
a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)

Hi melvinchng :
You did a great job.
But i have a little suggestion.
Since the rom mnnager only 3 options (128M 256M 512M),if i want to partition at difference size, it cannot be done at RM.
So partition SD card before install the ROM, (use Gparted or others,1 for fat32,1 for ext2 or ext3 ),then it can shorten the steps,
just install ROM once.
Thanks.
The reason for more space is because dalvik cache has been moved to sd

You can make and delete partitions directly on ADB SHELL using fdisk.
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
and next type m to show what you can do here.

Yes, you can do what you want, but there is more complicated because you don't use MB, but cylinders.
There is small tutorial chow use fdisk if you want: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html
I only have 98,56 MB free (
hi really good tutorial but i got a prob i followed this step bye step but it nt worked properlly think i only got a 101 mb left and when i install apps they install on phone memory any advice welcome:d
or shud i just do dtapp2sd?????
I have found the stability of the system gets compromised when important apps like home start running off the sdcard. The sdcard deteriorates with usage faster than internal memory. So overall, be careful of running everything off sdcard. Nice to see free space but not at cost of stability.

No difference, if u move to sd, after reboot, u need to wait for SD card to prepare the apps. If u put in phone memory, the apps is in the phone once u reboot. u save a lot of time on waiting apps from sd

Instead of int2ext+ do this , it is more convenient , easy , simple to use !
USE LINK2SD card for this from market after doing the below steps
Make sure u read twice before u take action
Partition your sd-card:
Simplest way is to use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" from http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
This tool is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista & Windows 7
requirements: USB SD Card reader.
pull SD card from phone, insert into USB SD Card reader,you can do it with your usb cable mount Sd-crad. Windows should report new drive and content of the drive should be visible.
• step 1: delete old partitions on SD card
Note: this partition manager QUEUES the operations. So nothing is deleted and changed UNTIL you click "APPLY" and then confirm by clicking "OK".
WARNING!
Make sure you are deleting partition on SD card! (not your hard drive for example)
This step deletes everything on SD card, so backup files first!
Dont be afraid, just read everything and think twice before selecting correct drive.
Do you see three gray icons on the bottom? Under each of them the capacity of each drive is listed, and SD CARD has slightly different icon.
Hard drives on the screenshot have 465.8GB and 74.5GB, and on the bottom, the SD card, with 3.8GB capacity.
• step 2: create FAT or FAT32 partition “ note that this partition is for storing your media, etc..”
select "Create As": PRIMARY
Select "File System:" FAT when you have 2GB or smaller card.
Select "File System:" FAT32 when you have 4GB or greater card.
• step 3: select the 2nd partition and select "Create As": PRIMARY
NOTE:
Stock roms with stock kernel will support fat32
Stock roms with custom kernels “ like CF-Root” may support both fat32/ext4 “check their threads”
Cm7/cm9 roms will support ext4
Here Is a NOTE:
For a wired reason, in both cm7/cm9 roms if formatted your 2nd partition with ext4 format, link2sd wont create mount script, unless you have selected ext3 “although the format was converted to ext4”
• step 4: finish
finally, click "apply" button on top left corner.
partitions will be created and card will be formatted.
Reattach your sd card to your phone and turn it on. (you can also do it With usb Connection )
*HIT THANKS IF I HAVE HELPED YOU* :laugh:
Thanks, I already done that sd partition. I think it has install correctly, found it in etc/init.d/folder>40initxxx.The Rom is fast n smooth but
battery drains real fast. Good day.

Data to Sd-ext
Hi Scorpion85!!!
Greetings of the day from Sagar,
i would like to tell you that i have done all the modifications given below and my SGYD GT-S6102 with only 4 GB Samsung Class 4 SD Card is now running much better than ever, but before you follow my guidance, somethings must be cleared as below:-
Warning:-
Don’t claim if your device may be failed forever and you have to purchase new one cause it can be and if it does, none other than you will be responsible for it!!!
Definitely, your device will most probably become out of warrany!!!
I am and will not responsible for you and all the things happen in your life and you are agree with all of my terms and conditions!!!!
However, I am with some others, definitely responsible for all benefits you are going to get from my talk, blogs, write ups, articles, updates, suggestions, work and support!!!!
It is must to backup your whole android system using titanium back up and also CWM to apply the option of backup for NANDroid backup.
It is highly recommend that you first carefully read, understand and then follow all the instructions with patience.
You must gain patience while any operation is being performed.
Now, i would like to know that what actually do you mean by Data?? i meant that what kind of data you want to move to your sd ext?
if you meant to move application data to sd-ext, you will need to root your phone first of all and before root your phone and do any other system modification ever, it is highly recommend that first you take backup of your phone and SD Card using CWM/TWRP, Kies, super backup etc...and copy them to your pc.
Even after root your phone, you should take back up again through CWM/TWRP and Titanium Backup and copy them to your pc.
How to root your Phone?
First of all, in your android mobile, go to developer option and select the check box of usb debugging and also do checkmark in an option of installation from the unknown sources.
Download appropriate update.zip and unroot.zip in your SD Card to the root level instead of saving those in any folder. Files must from the same source and match your device.
Download embedded CWM in your SD Card to the root level from there or find appropriate. If your phone support, you can also download twrp from the mfg website. Go to twrp official site and check if your device supported.
Download appropriate stock rom.
For CWM Users: Go to boot recovery and select CWM.
Go to backup and recovery section.
Apply Backup option to backup boot image of your system data.
Back and reboot your device.
If you have downloaded twrp, then get the backup with twrp as same as mentioned above for CWM.
From the file manager, transfer the clockworkmod folder to your PC.
Again go to boot recovery and select “apply update from SD Card”.
Select CWM and select “install zip from SD” therein.
Go with “choose zip from SD Card”.
Select Udate.zip and wait with patience for successfully completion. (If you have selected right files for your device!!! Or ready for the annoying things going to be happen with you!!!).
After successfully completion, apply the option for reboot your device by going back.
When your device gets stability, you will see superuser icon as a modified and one eye banned android icon!!!
Download root checker to ensure that your device is rooted properly.
If root checker result says sorry to you for improper root installation, download appropriate and latest superuser and busybox.
Update both superuser and busybox if necessary / required.
Now run again the root checker and see if it says congrats for proper root installation or try until you get proper root installation.
Now, reboot and boot your device again. (You may have to do this several times until you are ready with eye candy configuration of your device with proper stability!!!).
Select CWM from “apply update from SD Card” and then select “install zip from SD” therein from CWM menu.
Go through the option “Choose zip from SD Card” and select latest custom Kernel you have downloaded and saved to the root of your phone.
Wait for the successfully installation and then reboot your device.
you can check again if your device still in proper and healthy root condition by root checker.
Next step is to install link2sd and root explorer pro/advance from play store.
To use link2sd and to move your application data to sd-ext, you have to make your phone to think that your sd-ext is actually internal memory of your phone, and to make this, you have to make partition of your sd-ext.
To make the partition of sd-ext, you have to download minitool or any other software in your pc that can do so.
Partitioning the SD-Card may wipe all your data and it can be formatted automatically through process.
However, minitool tries best to keep your SD-Card data as much as possible.
i will guide you to make not only the partition for which your phone may think that it is internal memory and saves all data in it, but also to make Swap partition that will increase the RAM of your phone.
How to use minitool?
Insert full charged battery to your Laptop or Start UPS with minimum of 1 an hour backup for your desktop.
Close internet access and do not run any other application that may interrupt this process.
If this Process will be interrupted during the execution of operation, your SD Card may be damaged permanently.
Insert your SD card and open minitool.
Under file system, find Disk 2 and right click on the partition to apply the option delete and do the same for each partition if your SD-Card have already more than one.
Now, you will have only one partition under disk 2 having unallocated total size.
Right click on it to apply the option Create.
Create As: Primary
File System: FAT32
Do not change any size, but just click on ok.
You will have FAT32 file system under Disk 2 as Primary type having total capacity of your SD Card.
Now, right click on FAT32 to apply the option move/resize.
Set the “Unallocated space after” for your new Swap Partition that is to increase the RAM i.e., Unallocated space after is an option that will show the size of your new Partition and Partition size shows the size that you will have remain to use as SD Card!!!
You can set the size by your choice/comfort.
e.g.Partition Size: 3275 = 3.20 GB to use as SD Card
e.g.Unallocated Space after: = 512 MB to use as Swap
Hit on OK.
Now, right click on unallocated file system to apply the option Create.
Click on Yes from the Warning Prompt saying that new partition cannot be used by windows and blah blah….
Create As: Primary
File System: Linux Swap
Do not change any other option, i.e., do not change size options.
Just tap on OK.
Now, to create Ext2 partition (that will be used to trick the phone as internal memory and to store apps in that manner), right click on FAT32 file System under disk 2 category and apply the option move/resize.
Set size of your comfort.
e.g.Set “unallocated space after” around 1064 MB = 1.04 GB for Ext2 file system, so that you will have remain around 2211 MB = 2.16 GB to use as SD Card.
Click on OK.
Now, right click on unallocated file system to apply the option Create.
Click on Yes from the Warning Prompt saying that new partition cannot be used by windows and blah blah….
Create As: Primary
File System: Ext2
Do not change any other option, i.e., do not change size options.
Just tap on OK.
Now, from the upper left side, click on the big icon of “Apply” and start the Process by clicking on OK type confirmation. Wait for Successfully Completion and you have all done!!!
Ok, after successfully completion of Partitioning SD Card, safely remove it from your pc and insert it back to your android phone.
How to use link2sd?
Open link2sd first time and select ext2 (or whatever external fat/ntfs primary partition you have created earlier to use link2sd tool).
Reboot your device when you prompt with message that ext2 script has been successfully mounted and you need to reboot your device to get started!!!
After reboot your device, open swapper and select SD card FAT partition with the size around 512 MB to enter in box and tap on the button “Save”.
Open link2sd again and from the upper right corner action menu, select “storage space” to see system space / storage.
Now go back in link2sd and from that upper right corner menu, select the option “multiple select”.
Tap on first menu among three to select all the apps and then click on last dropdown action menu to select the option “Create link” and then Select all those check boxes like create link, create dalvik cache link and create library link etc… when you prompt by “Create link” menu and proceed to next.
Wait for successfully completion.
Happily check the storage info from link2sd dropdown action menu.
Additional purely risky step to release the memory from internal storage is as below without any tests:-
Go back to link2sd and select that icon looks like filter and from it, select an option “on internal”, so that you will see the apps in your internal memory.
Tap on last action menu, apply the option of multiple select, select all by tapping on first menu among those three, then select last menu to apply an option of “Create link”, wait for successfully completion if possible.
If internal applications fail to link with ext2, download root explorer pro.
Open root explorer pro, tap on R/W instead of R/O.
Go to android/data and select three folders to copy them: apps, dalvik cache and data
Paste them into data/sdext2
Select apps from sdext2 and hold it on to apply an option of link this folder.
Link that folder in data/ and where there must be prompt to overwrite or replace confirmation, click on OK or YES when prompt so.
Do the same for dalvik cache and data folder from sdext2 and link them to data/ to replace/link.
Now if all works great, to become happily surprised, tap on that action menu in link2sd and select “storage info”….See the system space / storage and say happily….WOHOOOO…..Yes….WOW….OMG….
Now just forget about “not enough storage space” notification while downloading some interesting apps…
Do not hesitate ever for asking anything, i will try my best.
If these help you, Please do not forget to hit on Thanks.
You can always make use of the Cronmod Script. It will increase your internal memory to the size of the sd-ext partition. Once you install this script, you can then install all the apps to the internal memory. As for the one that have already been installed, you can use the application settings to move the app to internal.

First of all reboot your phone to Recovery Mode then go to Advance option and then partition SD Card and select any size you want I recommend 512 MB as it can hold most of the things you want to install. Then wait until it finished partitioning process (REMEMBER TO BACKUP ALL YOUR SD DATA BEFORE PARTITIONING AS IT FORMATS YOUR SD IN THE PROCESS) and then download any of the scripts I recommend CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed (Download it from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 ) as it supports EXT 2/3/4 filesystems and then copy it onto the root of your SD then go to mount settings in Recovery Mode and then mount sd-ext and then select install zip from SD Card then select CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed.zip and flash it then just reboot and you should have increased internal memory.
Here is the link to the video in which I flash Ultimatum The "A" Factor ROM and then increase the internal memory of Samsung Galaxy Ace S-5830.

Please extract the 40int2ext file to init.d folder then reboot and then tell me what happens... :highfive:
zxyvw, Why are you asking for using a sd-ext partition if you opened your own thread explaining how to increase the internal memory space??
THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT SITE TO POST THIS TUTORIAL...
Try my new method it is guaranteed by me to work... If it doesn't jump off a building...
when I try to install it, it gives me Status 2,

Partitioning SD Card to Increase Internal Memory
Hey Guys,
(For this to work your phone must be rooted)
To increase the Internal Memory of Galaxy Ace is really easy. You don't need to do all these time killing steps. Just do as I do.
You can do this by Partitioning your SD Card. This means having a separation in your SD Card to store apps. Follow these steps :
1) Download Mini Tool Partition Wizard 7 on your PC.
2) Connect your SD Card to PC by an SD Card Adapter or connect your phone to PC by a USB Cable.
3) Open Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
4) You'll see a Disk 2 Region. In that you'll see your SD Card.
5) Right click on it and select Delete.
6) It'll show your SD Card as Unallocated.
7) Right click on it again and select Create.
8) A new Window opens.
In that, put the data as the following :
Partition Label : (As you wish)
Create as : Primary
File System : FAT32
Cluster Size : Default
Drive Letter : (As you wish)
Size and Location : Put Partition Size as the size of the SD Card you want.
The Unallocated size will be the size of your Partition.
9) Click OK
10) You'll see the Apply button on the Top-left Corner. Click on it. (Don't put your system in Power Saving Mode)
11) Wait for the procedure to be completed.
12) Now, Download Link2SD.apk on your system and move it to your SD Card.
13) Close every thing and Switch On your phone with the SD Card in it.
14) Install Link2SD.apk and open it.
15) Follow every thing as it says and restart your phone.
16) After that Select the app you want to move to the Partion.
17) Click on Create Link.
18) Move as much apps as you like...!
Hope that this helped you guys. Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Exactly. Link2SD always worked better than any script for me.
Also, you can get it from the android market.
This worked great for me.. thanks for the help.. but I have a problem, I wanted to flash a kernel (from MHNK to BE1.6) but after flashing the kernel, I lost all the partition and my installed apps, I only wiped cache partition and dalvik cache in cwm. Do I have to do anything (like mount sd-ext) before flashing the kernel? But luckily I backed up my rom before flashing the kernel thus got back my partition. Help me please..

I would recommend that you mount everything except USB Storage and then try to flash the kernel... If it still doesn't work please don't be shy to ask me... :good:
i'm going to try this, i already increased my internal memory but the script was already on the rom
I had trouble myself trying to increase the internal memory of my galaxy ace s5830i, until i found this method which i believe is very simple and easey to follow and wanted to share with more people who might be facing same problem. It isnot my work, but since it is in spanish i took some time to translate it so you could use the same procedure.
******************************************************************************************************
Here a translation from a video in spanish. The author is hery reyes• I’m only translating the info, but I’ve tried it myself and worked for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rgq4cNvTMng
Requirements:
-Make a complete backup of your rom from CWM
- Have root access
- This procedure should work with any ROM (Stock or Custom) however in some ROMS you might need to have active the “init.d” folder
- Root explorer or Root Browser (links available in the video)
- Partitioned SD card (you can do it with CWM or using Mini Tool Partition wizard.. or others..)
- Link2SD
Procedure:
Open Link2sd and allow Root Access
It will ask you about the partition to be used, select ext2 and it will ask you to reboot your phone. Please ignore and go to the main menu. From there, reboot manually your device.
Once it starts again, open Linkd2sd and the message about partition should not appear again. (If it does, choose ext3 and repeat the process, try with ext4 or fat 32 if previous do not work).
Once inside Link2sd, go to settings and take the mark off all the options. Then close Link2sd and we will not use it again from this point on. We will not need it anymore.
Go to Root Browser and allow Root Access.
Go to "/data/sdext2" and delete any folder you find inside. Go to the path "/data" and copy the 4 following folders "app", "data", "app-private", y "dalvik-cache", then go inside "/data/sdext2" and paste them. This process will take a little while so be patient.
Once the 4 folders are copied, we go inside "/data/sdext2"
y will do the same process for each of the folders. Go to “app” and long press the button, for a menu to appear, go to the last one that says –create link- then, go back to the main */data” folder and clieck on create, you will see a message saying the folder exists and if you want to combine them, click YES. Do the same for the other 3 folders. NOTE: If your sd card is less low capacity (less than 4), then better do it only with 3 folders and DON’T do it for the data folder (just leave it copied without the linking)
Then go out of the root browser and restart your device. When you go to Application manager, you will see you are using only around 60 of the total available and will be able to download many apps.
Simple Method For Me
1.Make Partition of SD Card.
2.After flashing Rom with custom kernel say(Rafeal's).
3.Flash CronMod Unofficial-By Styrke.zip.
4.That's it No use of Link2sd and all .
Install as much app you want .

why unlink!? you can take a dump of your SD-Ext and put it back like this:
1. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 (assuming that's your ext partition)
2. Buy new, bigger SD Card
3. Partition the same size you had for your SD-Ext (1GB for example)
4. Perform: dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
5. Resize the partition!
So you don't have to work your way again to do all the work from scratch =P
I think the script is better then this (just my opinion)
