You can do it easily if you install a kernel with included CWM (Savies Kernel Rev 73)
You can find an option Format ext or sd-ext or 2nd partition there, it only works with CWM included kernels, sd-ext doesnt seem to mount with madteam/skin (the one thats flashable CWM)

You got CWM for that, if you are asking about creating, you dont need an inbuilt one, just flash cwm by madteam(or skin) via stock recovery, go to advanced-> partition sd card-> Give sizes -> Wait till its complete -> Partition done
For formatting ONLY sd-ext or for formatting sd-ext without losing sd card contents you need an inbuilt CWM..it can be done also with terminal emulator, but Im not sure about that..

Yes, Along with Merruk, Savies Kernel Rev 73 got that one, its the best imo in performance..

[Q] Using Link2sd in jellyblast

hey someone please tell me how can i use link2sd in JELLBLAST V3.0.1
IT shows that the sd-ext can't be mounted.
Please solve this problem
I have attached the image.

1) Try setting the mount script partition to ext2/ext3/ext4 and see if anyone of them makes the mount successful (it doesnt matter with which partition it mounts with)
2) Did you partition your sd card correctly? Mention more about how you did it..

I used Minitool partition wizard home edition to partition my sd card. set the partition as fat32...didnt really like the idea and after trying a new rom, and going back to jellyblast v3.01, i removed several apps(link2sd included) by uninstalling them through titanium backup, and then used install manager v3.5.1 to move my apps to my unpartitioned sd card

I partioned my sd card using minitool...
Kuro kernel supports link2sd or i shud reformat my sd card....???

I made the sd-ext part in ext3 format....
Should i reformat the sdcard and than partion it again via cm...???
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

kuro kernel supports link2sd,my expirience first partition as fat32,second as ext2-3 using minitool,no problem,no need for reformat or something in cwm.

Jelly blast has kuro kernel, it supports Link2sd, dont use mini tool, it complicates things, make it the easy way, go to CWM -> Advanced-> Partition SD card -> Give 2nd partition space-> swap as 0 and then wait till it get partitioned, now try mounting ext3 in link2sd, it must work

Thank u sir....i will try it

Yes, my suggestion would be savies kernel rev 73, the best one out yet imo

this method wiped my sd card...make a backup before you partition it this way.

Thank everyone here.....i partioned my sd card successfully and now link2sd is working.....

Please tell me how can i install savie rev 73 kernel...
Thaanxx in advance...
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

It's actually easy to install.
First install the basic version. The (60 I think)
Then combine the last two kernel rar files.
Then flash.

The post is actually not aligned properly which makes people confuse.
Just download savies kernel rev 73 modded by Ronnie (just look for the same title which is a download able link).
Copy it and Cwm by mad team or skin to sd card, go to recovery mode, first flash Cwm zip, and then flash the kernel zip, it shows a aroma installer, click default installation there, restart and done, check if you got 4 io s and 18 governors, if not flash again, this time choose custom installation and select all things, reboot and it will stick

That's a completely incorrect method to install that kernel since it got an aroma installer

Did you select all the governers in custom installation?
Wait, after flashing savies kernel, you get a permanent CWM, in which you need to click mount/system in mounts and storage option EVERYTIME you flash a zip, either it be a ROM/Kernel/Anything, ALWAYS mount/system when using savies kernel CWM

merruk kernel CWM partitioning

ok im here again. im totally confused on what to to do here.i successfully installed merruk 2.5 deluxe in jBv3 3.5 . on my past kernels without a permanent CWM , i already did partitioning an sd card. but now, i cant. u see i used skin-1980-GT-S5360+CMW in the past and i tried using this in merruk. but it will replace the stock CWM and i dont know if its good or bad but i aborted it by restarting it. please tell me what to do.. do i have to use only skin.zip or is there a skin.zip for permanent CWM like in merruk ? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for that sir but can u explain to me how to use the ext4 ? what it does and how it work? all i know is ext3 for partitioning. i just want to increase my internal memory its been days now since im trying to partition my card in this awsome kernel.

The main benefits that ext 4 has over
ext3 are :
* faster timestamping
* faster file system checking
* journaling checksums
* extents (basically automatic space
allocation to avoid fragmentation)
using ext4is same as ext3 in cwm select ext4 and select ext 4 in app 2sd

[Q] Second Partion issue!

i was having a partion on my sd card to store apps (using amarullz script)
in order to flash cm7.2, i flashed stock rom as it was recommended by OP
then flashed cm7.2 totoro
In Cm7.2,i again tried to increase my internal memory through that extra partion i already had on my sd card
ok here goes the problem
when i did the steps to increase my memory ... its not working ...everything goes well during installation (no force closes too) but after completion nothing happened
i just dont know whats happening ...
does that partition got deleted or what during installing stock rom (via odin) ????
please sum1 come up with a solution

Yes for linking apps to sd depending on kernel support & selecting the correct mount scripts in link2sd
No for swap - you need a swap partition but swap is pointless anyway - There is no need for it & in my opinion you will get no benefit

Thanks for replying,
By the the time I was waiting for some reply I tried out Roehsoft Ram Expander for swap.
Is there any other way for increasing internal memory only?

Only by creating virtual storage on your sd card & linking apps to it - you already have an ext partition
If you mean ram then no - nothing that will make the phone suddenly super fast

Yes Iv already said
If the ext partition was created properly & you using a kernel that supports it (don't ask me for suggestions) & you select the appropriate mount script in link2sd

I have set the default install location in link2sd to internal, confirmed using command
pm getInstallLocation
1(Internal)
But still certain apps get installed to the sdcard. If the apps get installed to the sdcard link2SD cannot auto link newly installed apps. In A2SD GUI it shows apps on internal. How do I force the apps to get installed on the internal storage?
Do I need to activate zipalign on boot in a2sdgui?

You can't force an app to install anywhere - only ask it to but if it's manifest states to install it somewhere that's where it will be installed
Of course you can decompile the apk & edit the manifest resign the apk & install it however you won't be able to update the app via playstore without uninstalling the modded version first
Best to just manually link what you want

Did the same and working properly but swap is not activating and auto deactivating cant extend ram by the method please suggest.

Either remove the mod if possible maybe a script in init.d or flash stock rom via odin & start again (see my firmware thread)
Also your kernel might not support this mod
Please don't ask me what does as I don't have your device

link2sd wont work
second partition wont mount automatically.
link2sd wont work after rebooting many times
