Thank you for the information.
I may give this a try. Up to now I've been using custom ROMs, but all them them have small issues that niggle me. This solution may be the solution I'm looking for on non-rooted phones.

The solution is GL to SD. No partitions, no nothing. Just awesomeness

So what if your using a 16gb SD card, what would the settings be then?

No settings. Just install GL to SD and move your apps to the external sd card

use External sd card to install apps on it by lin2sd

This is a step by step guide on how you can run Link2SD on your device. This tutorial will work for both stock and cutom ROMs. For ClockWorkMod Recovery users, you can check the other guide below. Follow all the instructions carefully to eliminate possible problems.
First you have to download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager. You can download it HERE.
Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer.
Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data.
Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
Right click and choose Delete.link2sd 3
Right click on it again and choose Create New. Create “FAT32″ partition (This is where all your media files will go. Be sure to make it bigger than the 2nd part)
Select “Create as: PRIMARY” link2sd 4
Next, create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition (if you’re on stock ROM, choose ext2). This is where your apps will go. I suggest a value of 512Mb or 1Gb would be big enough but if you insist you can go as high as 2Gb.
Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary) link2sd 5
Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
Download and install Link2sd from Google Play Store.
Open Link2sd. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select ext2. link2sd 6
It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation)
If you already have some apps, select “move to phone” then after moving select “Create Link” (be sure to check the three files: app, dalvic-cache and library files)
link2sd 2link2sd
To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition. link2sd 7
Now you’re done and ready to install vast amount of applications as you wish!
FOR CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY USERS ONLY( ALTERNATIVE METHOD)
NOTE: You can also use the instructions above. This guide will work on both stock and custom ROMs.
Back up all your files to your computer. Partitioning wipes the files of your SD card.
Go into recovery mode
Select “Advanced”
Select “Partition SD card”
Choose your SD-ext size (if you’re using a 2Gb SD card, choose 512Mb. If your SD card is 4Gb or greater, you can choose 1024Mb)
Select 0 swap
Wait for the process to finish. Reboot.
Download and install Link2SD from Google Play Store.
Open Link2SD you will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32. Choose ext4.
Follow instructions number 14-20. DONE!
There are many things wrong with this guide. Never partition an sd-card with CWM or Minitool partiton wizard. You will probably end up with a damaged sd-card, or most likely with a faulty sd-ext partition. Use Gparted instead.
And why use link2sd when you can install an init d script that works way better?

I appreciate your guide but i have used and still using minitool partition and linktosd .its working perfectly with no lag still after 1 month of use
not all roms support init d script nor 4ext recovry support is avainable for every phone
Thanks. I know 4ext is only available on some phones, that's why I recommend Gparted.
The difference is that Gparted makes a properly linux ext4 partition. I have a friend that used minitool, and he finished off his 16gb class 10 card.
this only for android 4.1.2 or below and not for 4.2, is that right?
Dont know really becoz I used it upto 4.1.2

KK-Boot 0.5.2 have a feature to make the external SD card (/storage/extSdCard) as an internal media (/storage/sdcard0) and allocate all the internal media space for apps. Users still have full access to internal storage because the internal storage (/data/media) then mapped as external SD card. Cleaning /storage/extSdCard will give more spaces for apps

1. First you have to download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager and install it on PC.
2. Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer.(not via USB cable)
3. Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data.
4. Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
5. Right click and choose Delete.
6. Create FAT32. Set as primary
7. Create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition (I suggest ext2 cause it works on all roms and kernels).
8. Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary)
9. Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.

please give proper help ... step by step solution
Root your phone if not already rooted (search how to)
Flash a kernel that can support ext4 partitions (if on stock based rom Use hells fusion #50 kernel -search dev section for links & instructions) Copy all sd files to pc
go into cwm on phone goto advanced & partition sdcard Partition sdcard with min of 1024mb ext partition
Copy sd card files back to phone
Install link2sd (playstore)
Open link2sd mount 2nd partition as ext4 (other kernels may vary)
restart
open link2sd
select app & create link
For more details search for link2sd
Link2SD has some complicated steps and requires 2 partitions in SD card. If you don't want to do it and you have root go to play store, search Force2SD(root).
Please note that by moving app to sdcard, you can't use its widget.(if any)

To me, the most easily is move apps to sd card with Titanium Backup or similar.
You cant use an A2SD script. What it does it puts your internal memory to your newly formatted ext4 partiton on your sd card. But it's a little bit complicated, since you need to modify you boit.img, and it may not always work. The second option is to download "mounts to sd" from goigle play, but you need root and kernel with init.d support.

4.On ext size select 1024MB (it is the max recommended size)
5.On swap select 0 M
6.Now SD card will be partitioned & formatted
7.Reboot your phone
8.Open Link2SD & choose the second partition of your SD card as EXT3
9.Reboot your Phone
10.Now start linking all your apps to the SD card & free up internal memory & you will be able to installl many apps now
Here's a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEtSyLwUTCw
1. root your phone
2. use link2sd(from playstore) to move apps to SD-card
internal memory full ?
well if ur internal memory is full , ransfer your apps to sd card via
1) link2sd
or the best is
2) TITANIUM BACKUP PRO
Take a backup of the apps that are installed on your phone. Search in google play for those apps which provide backup. Plug your phone to the computer and copy each and every file because you are going to format your SD card to increase the storage. If your device is not rooted, you have to then root it first. Search on XDA for rooting guides. Make sure you have ClockWorkMod recovery file is on SD card.Then after that follow the following steps:
1. Install Link2Sd app
2. Reboot your phone and goto recovery mode
3. Install ClockWorkMod
4. Clear Cache
5. Mount Everything that can be mounted
6. Goto Advanced > Partition SD Card
7. Choose below 1024MB as it causes some issues
8. Set Swap size to 0MB
9. After doing, reboot your phone.
10. Goto Link2sd and select recreate mount scripts and it will automatically reboot your phone.
Now you can get more internal storage. You can now restore your backup that you have made in computer back to the phone.
P.S. I am not responsible for any damage that occurs to your phone or SD card. I just provided a solution.

Phone running slow ??try this method to increase internel storage

Be aware you need a rooted device and a sd card before you do this
first install a app called link2sd or any other alternative app
then backup your sd card.....
then boot into cwm <recovery> and then go to advanced options partition sd card ....select the storage space needed and then click ok ,swap size should be 0 in the next page.reboot.
go to the app i mentioned above it will ask for "select the type of you sd cards second partition you need to select<mostly ext 2 ><but if it does not work out then try out the trial and error method nothing will go wrong!!1> then it will create mount scripts and ask to reboot device reboot you will have your sd card second partition ready then using the app move the applications to the 2nd partition.
do not move system apps or important apps i tested it it works please dont forget to hit the thanks button
