I am using cyanogens rom. Sorry for the title being messed up i was typing on my phone and get mixed up.
EXT partition.
if ur using CM 5.0.5+, this uses the ext partition created on the SD card via AmonRA recovery... and is mounted to /sd-ext

I had repartition my SD card for a while, and I never checked my 512M ext3 partiton since I rarely do anything with it. Recently I mounted it and check, nothing store in it, all app go to .android_secure in my Fat32 partition.
I'm using CM7, is there any extra step to get app install goes to ext3 partition, or I should delete the ext3 and resize fat32 partition ?
Edit: as I search around, CM7 using Froyo App2SD ? Maybe I should install Darktremor App2SD or not ? Is there any extra step to install it on Wildfire
You are right. Flash DTApps2SD.
when I install darktremor, will it move all app to ext3 or I have to do something with it ?
Thanks for your answer, maybe I'll install darktremor app2sd now
I installed DTApp2SD anh successfully moved dalvik-cache to ext partition, but .android_secure still there.
When I run a2sd reinstall, next time the phone will never load, stuck at HBOOT boot screen.
I found a guide in the general section here that shows how to setup your sdcard with two ext3 partitions a swap partition and the normal one. I followed the guide pretty close except I named my three new partitions ext3-1 ext3-2 and swap, respectively. However I have noticed since downloading a few different gingerbread roms that none of the roms will allow me to mount any of the ext partitions, I tried mounting them in recovery and get an error. Just curious as to what could be the issue, I used mini tool partition wizard home to create the layout. Anyone have any ideas as to why I cant get access to the newly created ext partitions?

I want to install darktremor A2SDExt on my wildfire and am trying to follow the instructions below
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158809660835039
I have downloaded the zip from the site but cannot find the partition sd card menu under clockwork recovery 2.5.01 as stated in the instructions. My menu layout is totally different. I have a partitions menu with options
mount /system
mount /data
unmount / cache
unmount /sdcard
mount /sd-ext
format boot
format system
format data
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
mount USB storage
Could someone please walk me through the process of how I partition my sd card for use with darktremor.
Use ROM Manager.
Thanks for the info I used Rom manager and used the default options to partition my sd card which created two partitions I think called EXT and swap. I copied all my stuff back from my computer to SD card. Then I flashed darktremor.zip
I opened up terminal and typed the following
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
and got a whole load of messages saying permission denied. I have definitely got root so wtf? Any ideas where I'm going wrong. I am reading stuff about EXT 3 and EXT 4. I definitely didn't get the option to create anything like that. I don't think my partitions are right
Try typing su before that. It will require superuser access.
Thanks you're the man. It worked.
Wow I have 128 apps installed on my phone including 35 games and still have 102Mb free internal memory .
I used Recovery through flashboot to partition my SD Card into: 1ext and 1fat part. I already tried to mount it in another phone without problem. But in the play i just get the message "card can be removed now" all the time... Im Using FW 4. Model is R800i, tried a full wipe. tried to format.
Any suggestion?

For starters you need to make the 1st partion fat and the 2nd ext 2/3/4......
2nd at the moment we have no kernel with init.d support so scripts cannot mount the ext partition on boot ......

Ok, problem was, the backcover wasnt on, then the SDcard was not recognized. Now i got the ext partition working with link2sd, i just needed to setup it as ext3, and it now automounts when the system start. i doubt that it can switch davlik cache to partition but apps works fine. everytime i install a new app, it moves it to the sd card ext drive. Its not as comfortable as using Titanium directly to the Ext but its alright, just takes some more time. When i connect to a computer using the massstorage option, ext drive stays online and i can still use my apps. Thats what i wanted Thanks for the help anyways!!

Ahh i didnt know you wanted your ext for link2sd, i though you wanted to use apps2sd+ when you connect to the pc it only mounts your fat partition and your ext stays mounted to the device thats why enjoy
Hi there,
I successfully flashed an Android 4.2.1 Native SD ROM on the HD2's NAND (TimeJelly). This is the procedure I followed (coming from a complete erase of the phone's NAND, as the result of a failed previous attempt, lol):
Flashed HSPL 2.08
Flashed Radio compatible with 576 MB of ram (12.xx.50.xx if I recall correctly)
Flashed MAGDLR 1.13
Flashed CWM 6.0
Flashed the ROM from CWM by choosing zip from sd card.
And everything is good and working. But, I used one friend's SD to flash (since I still don't have one)... Now, I'd like to swap out the SD I used to flash (I understand it did automatically create an Ext4 partition on it?) and use the one I'll buy tomorrow.
What do I have to do? Without the SD the phone will just refuse to boot, stucking at the green HTC logo. Do I just have to partition the new SD from CWM? Do I have to flash everything again? (Jeeeeez).
I understand the EXT4 partition would be used only for the data, since it is stated Data2Ext in the ROM's title. ROM is in the NAND with DATA2EXT (the exact option I chose during installation, second one).
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated

If I understand correctly you want to move your sd content/installation to a new card, yes?
Go to the sd card thread in my signature and read post # 2. Specifically the part about backing up and restoring an sd card image.

Nono, I just installed a native sd ROM on the phone's NAND, and now it will simply not boot without an EXT4 formatted SD (because the /data partition is there, not on the NAND).
I repartitioned the SD from CWM this morning choosing 2 GB of EXT partition, and 2 GB of FAT32 partition, and everything is working. But, there's another problem. Whenever I reboot the phone, it will simply lose EVERY single setting, and it prompts me again to choose the language, google accounts ecc...
Any help?

no you didnt, , a nativeSD rom lives in the EXT partition, If you installed a rom to nand, then its a nand rom. If you install it to teh FAT partition, its an SD rom, if you install it to the sd-ext, its a nativeSD rom.
I understand it did automatically create an Ext4 partition on it?

no, you must create the ext partitions yourself.
Sounds to me like you have a nand rom, which is also using dataonext, , meaning teh rom lives on Nand, and the data partition is mounted onto the sd-ext, , in which case.....
into CWM - full backup
new sd card into phone
into cwm - create ext partition on new sd card
in cwm - selectively restore ONLY the sd-ext partition (you will need to have coppied over the fat32/clockwork/backups folder from the old card to teh new card)
reboot.

The SD card image backup would, essentially, duplicate a card in entirety, all partitions included.

i didn't say anything about an sd card backup, i said do a full cwm backup, which includes the system, data, boot and sd ext partitions, and not the fat32 partition, and then restore only the sdext partition to the new card (after of course creating teh new ext partition on teh new card)
