You don't need to do anything for app2sd in CM because it is built in. but if you want app2ext flash darktremor patch.
i think darktermor is already present in Openfire.. so i just need to partition the SD to ext and install openfire???

You can easily change, modify partitions, using Ubuntu 10.1 Live:
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Make example a bootable USB stick, and you can do anything, with your partitions
My Wildfire with Cyangenmod works great...with Fat32 + Ext2 partitions
I made it with gParted
cheers

[Q] How do i install aps on sd card?

Hi everyone,i need help.
I want to move my aplications on sd card but i dont know how.
Is there any option for that on phone or i should install something?
FroYo has it built in, and manges it automatically.
You could look into darktremor a2sd.
BlaY0's ROM has a2sd built in

Hey, I had a question on this.
Is the darktremor a2sd or the blayo rom a2sd any different from the froyo inbuilt a2sd ? If yes, how ?

Yes, they are different.
As far as I understand it (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong):
With the inbuilt Froyo method, the apps themselves need to have some code written in to them to enable Froyo to move them to the SD card.
With the alternative a2sd methods, the SD card is partitioned in such a way that the phone thinks one of the partitions is simply some more internal memory, and it just installs apps on there, thinking it is installing them on the phone.
Your space is only limited by the size of the ext partition you create on your SD card...

Thanks. But then what is data2ext ?

Where apps to sd just puts 2 folders on the ext partition, data2ext puts the entire data partition there

EXT 4 Partition problem

How do I know if my EXT Partition is working??
i followed the steps perfectly..& ,y 16Gb sd card have 2 partition 1.5GB EXT4 - 13GB FAT32
but im not seeing a different with my internal memory space...its the same
i feel like its the same with out the EXT partition.
plz guys help me....
i needed more internal storage to install application...so i found a topic talking about making SD card 2 partition 1 EXT & the Other normal Fat32..i understod that the EXT partition will be as internal memory & i followed the steps
after flashing the NAND i didnt find any different in my internal memory storage & after installing some application my internal memory got low...so i used APP2SD but as u all know some application cant be moved to SD.
so plz i want to know where is my EXT4 1.5GB partition & how can i know if its working or not ?
Does your rom you are flashing use data2ext or app2sd? If the rom itself isn't set up to recognize the partition I doubt you can just add a partition.

i was using MDJ FroYo Revolution v.2.3 [A2SD+][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.2 OC]

but my memory got low tooo fast from a little application....so im now using a smaller NAND

I haven't tried either of those so can't comment. The one I'm using certainly recognises my partition and I have plenty of "internal" memory.
I know most recommend not going above 1gb for the partition as larger ones can cause a problem. Try reformatting the partition and resize it to 1gb and see if that helps.
thank you ill try another NAND
can u tell me ROM r u using?

I suggest using 4EXT recovery to partition your SD card, it did it simple and easy. It's so nice a recovery i bought it, no regrets at all.
Then you'll have to install a rom with an app2sd script that will use the ext4 partition to extend your phone's memory

[Q] rom on nand with ext4 partition

hello to everyone, could someone help me with installing a rom with data on ext, and dalvik on nand ? the problem is i dont understand the function of ext4 partition, i tried with magldr and clk also, but when it comes to install the rom from sd-card it doesn't work... so please could somebody explain me how to use this ext4 partition. I know how to make it thru the partition manager, i know how to instal clk, magldr, and cwm, but after that i dont have a clue what to do, just copy instal.zip file to sd-card and instal it, or what ?
hope somebody will explain me ...
In most cases yes, you will just have to copy the zip file to your sdcard and when flashing the ROM, choose "DataOnExt". Unless the ROM doesn't natively support Ext4 (which is very rare), you'll just have to flash the script after flashing the ROM immediately.
thx

Check your storage with Titanium Backup. The system doesn't always show correct available storage depending on the script used.
