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]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823491
but my memory got low tooo fast from a little application....so im now using a smaller NAND
CleanDROID v1.30 - Super Clean [FROYO+Cyanogen][Kernel GL v1]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917590 just to get more free space
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?

Do you have HardSPL 2.08 and a new 2.**.50.** Radio flashed?
What version of Magldr do you have?
Are you trying to install a Magldr (*.exe) or ClockworkMod (*.zip) Rom?
Please list EXACTLY what you did and what happened as the information you gave doesnt tell us anything.
Mark.
As I was answering you question I realised that i have used the wrong android file, so Now its working... hehe..
The only problem is now the storage on the phone, ther is almost no space on the phone... When I set up active sync on my phon, will the emails take place in the phone or the SD card?

I think the low storage issue is most probably coz of your /system partiton (400mb cfg file?). Now I don't know what size your roms /system cfg file should be (next time link to your rom, makes it easier for us to solve your problem), therefore I can't give an accurate answer right now, but to increase space you either have to find what /system your rom uses and flash cfg accordingly or make an EXT2/3/4 partiton on your sd card and use a2sd.

I have the Desire version on my HD2, and i dont have Apps2SD.
I made partitions on my SD card (FAR32 of 6.5GB and EXT3 of 1GB).
What do you mean with: "use a2sd" and "flash cfg"?
Ok, as far as I can tell this is the rom you are using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498?
Did you follow the exact instructions in post 2? Its seems that you forgot to edit flash.cfg file. Do a fresh install following the guide in in post 2, word by word.
I did not change the flash file..
it says:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 120M
cache ya 8M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Witch step do I start from?
I used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013852
According to your rom.s thread you'd need to edit this line system ya 120M to system ya 150 from your flash.cfg and reflash hope that'll help. One more thing to use sd-ext partition download data2ext from the same page.
I now did it over again, but still have low space..
I think I even have less internal space now...
only 172 mb
Can you explain "to use sd-ext partition download data2ext from the same page." in a way a girl can understand?
That's it, there wont be more than that, maybe if you tweaked the flash.cfg you'd get ~50M more. That's where you sd-ext will come into play, its the same as your internal space but hosted in your SD, and that's where your apps and data will be stored, instead of the actual interal memory.

But how can I tweak that file... so I get more space..
Im so confused...
Sorry for all the stupid questions...
If you implement sd-ext then you don't need the extra space coz your ext2/3/4 will be used instead. As for data2sd, I think the rom you are using has a2sd, which means that if you had setup an ext2/3/4 then a2sd will automatically detect you ext partition and will install all your apps there (ext partition).
In any case here is a link to increase internal memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11189394&postcount=1826, now this is rom specific and I don't know if it'll work with your rom.
Ok I tried to ext sd card to 2048M and chose swap size 0M hope that will work..
MY SD card is 16gb
But it says please wait and have been like this for a long time now..
I did it!!!! Who would have known that a girl could do this!!
Thank you so much for the help!!!

Are you sure that you created it as a second partition and as a primairy (instead of a logical)?

Which roms are you trying it with? Have you tried other cards?
Format the card using Panasonic SDFormatter..
Format: FULL (Overwrite)
Size Adjustment: ON
Now partition again using CWM, 1GB space and 0MB swap.
Yes i had tried 2 cards 16Gb and 2GB now i will try again.
PS: I'm using Typhoon now.

That looks like it should be correct.
Give rafdroid 4.02 a try, that is the one I use and which shows the the correct size for sure.

Hi,
I think you are confusing the different sections of space on the phone.
Get yourself Titanium Backup,and it will list the different storage spaces you have:
System ROM
Internal
SD card
SD card(a2sd) or EXT.3 partition in your case.
The 100MB you see is internal free space.
You can then how much space you have on your EXT. and what is being used.

Hi,
It looks absolutely fine.
260MB of free internal memory
And 999MB free on your EXT. partition.
You should update the app.It will also show system as well.

make sure you clean out the old rom before booting the new rom, , in CWM choose 'wipe data/factory reset', then 'wipe cache', then 'advanced - wipe dalvik cache'
I' m right now thank you for helping me.

HTC HD2 EXT3 partition not showing up
Hi,
I just installed miui 6.9.29. Everything is working fine but one thing: the ext3 partition i created in CWM (512 mb, 0 mb swap) does not show up as internal storage. I tried to mount it in CWM, but still no luck . Can someone please help me? I really need more than 115 mb of internal storage, since there is only 23.54 mb available. Pretty stupid actually because i only want about 3-4 apps more..
Please help!

Hi there,
I never dealt with creating swap partition. I'm using latest SwiftDroid now and like to know if it uses swap automatically. If not, would it be advisable to create one? How do I have to do this? Which size should it have and does SwoftDroid ASIS recognise it rigth?
I googled a lot and search in the forum, but didn't find helpful information.
Thanks

using swap isn't the best idea as it kills ur sd card faster.
also a lot of people use about 200mb swap partition to about 300mb swap
partition..
u could get the app from the market ( swapper2 for root users )
or read this thread!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317362
Mur4ik recommends swap 256MB for previous versions of SwiftDroid, so I think that is also applies to ASIS. ASIS can use swap automatically (no need to use swapper app) if you create swap partition as third on sdcard (second should be ext - in newest recovery you can create 2MB ext3 partition).

Okay, now slowly. I flashed my phone with Mur4ik's KDZ Method before installed SwiftDroid. So there should be 150MB for system,64MB for cache and 234MB free internal storage. Are the 64MB memory for swap? So that SwiftDroid always uses swap but with internal memory?
Now I don't understand what you say about second and third partition and what exactly Mur4ik suggest for his ROM. They are both an SD, aren't they? I use a 16GB class 4 SD card. So what should I do to get best performance with ASIS?

150MB for system,64MB for cache and 234MB free internal storage <- it's internal storage of your phone, system is just system, cache is for files downloaded from internet, internal storage is for installing your applications.
On sdcard you should have primary partition (fat32), ext3 and swap (linux swap type) partition. The third will be automatically used. See thread mentioned above or copy everything from your sdcard to you computer, reboot phone into recovery and creat ext partition and swap partition (in that order) through recovery. Then reboot phone and copy data back from computer to phone's sdcard.
Ok, i managed to create 256MB swap partition.
So what do you say is the best swappiness value? I read that 60 seems to be to high?
PS: How can I see if swap works?
I leave mine at 60 to see If it works type free in a terminal on the phone
Ok it works. Terminal shows me that the phone uses swap. But I also recognised it by playing some games, which worked laggy before and now run very smooth.
About swappiness: I read that 30 seems to be the best for our phone?
ASIS set swappiness to higher value (I believe 60) - I've changed it to 30 in previous versions but now I just left it as it it. I don't see any difference.
Yay! no more third person software :3, native swap.
Thanks :3
Hi guys,excuse my english i'm Mexican,and i not speak a good English.
my question is:
i installed the rom xtremiui in the L3, the problem is;
I can not make a partition on the sd card,,I tested with the program mini tool partition a thousand ways to Fat 32 and Ext2,Logical-Primary..Primary Logical,,Primary-Primary,,,Logical-Logical and nothing.
I try with cwm recovery to create the particion and nothing.
In the Link2SD create the partition,reboot the L3,and tap I link the applications.
The problem is,dont move the apps to the partition. it's as if i select, move to the sd card and the apps move to internal storage (1gb)..
i dont know if is different partitions in miui or how, but in all partition options that I mentioned and i tested, I get the same thing.
if you can tell me how to solve,ussing other program or something.It would be helpful
Thanks

in link2sd tap the menu button, chose more and link dalvik-cache files. That may fix your problem. BTW when you link the apps to the sd it moves the apps to the sd and creates a link (shortcut) to the internal storage
Sent from my LG-E400
cwm recovery should be good for any ics roms... but if you dont make it any successful, then try this;
using minitool...
- Linux Swap = 32Mb > primary
- Ext2 = as you wish > primary
- FAT32 = remains size as media storage > primary
noticed that Ext2 partition sizes have to smaller than FAT32...
in link2sd, choose Ext2 partition as mounting script created...
i'm using this n installed 200+ of apps w/o any problems... good luck

I discovered that if you partition but does not work as above.
I need to do a few steps each to install some applications
Link Dalvik-cache
Clean the 2nd partition
Clean Dalvik-cache
Clean cache to all apps.
And reboot (sometimes)
and this frees me some memory . sometimes delete all and sometimes need a reboot. before everything in automatic, be changed but at least they found the solution.
Thanks
