What would the best partitions on the stock 8gb sdcard for the sensation?
EXT? (if so what ext and why)
SWAP? (If so what size swap and why)
Your help would be amazing...
One fat32 partition. Additional partitions are not needed at this time. Swap to sd is slower than ram so you really only want to use it on devices that are severely ram limited. Apps to sd is for devices with limited onboard storage and I don't think that's an issue for most of us.

Why after installing any ext-4 rom can not move apps to sd card ? after moving little apps, 2 or 3 apps, any apk over 3mb it says sd card full, and I have over 4gb free!
i did the superwipe step
any advice will be appreciated.
Is there a way similar to how the g1 had the MTD partitions to make the g2x have the full 6gb+ used as the internal storage(compared to the 1.5gb we get normally) Theres got to be a tool or a dev that knows how to hex edit or run some kind of script that can bind the internal/inbuiltsdcard space into just one partition.
Why would you want that?
What's the benefits of that?

uh.... who doesn't like more internal storage for their phones? I already have an external 16gb sdcard so the 5gb is wasted space for me and many others!
So you're saying you want a 100+ apps on your phone so you can come onto XDA and complain how your phone is slow?

Bunch of idiots i swear, don't think either of you are devs for the g2x so GTFO!
It would be cool having that. So much space...
Well it's not as much as i'd prefer in my smartphone(16gb should be the norm in all smartphones by now for internal storage) but 6gb>1.5gb anyday.
Just hoping someone knows how to do this for the people that actually could use more space. I don't care if you think 1gb of storage is enough for you(thats nice now go away) this is a request!

Yes it is, mounted as an internal type sdcard but it's not the same as having just the 6 or 7gb of INTERNAL storage for apps and games. As of right now 1.5 is available and that 5gb you speak of being used as a internal sdcard doesn't matter when that 1.5gb runs out of space
So what happens when the app space is full?

LOL common sense man....
Running out of space means you can't install any more apps/games whatever else to your phone. Sure you can install SOME apps/games to external or internal sdcard but that main 1.5gb of storage is sill gonna run out faster then the 6gb sdcard that is partitioned on our phones.
Why can't people understand what i'm saying? This mod, if possible would only make our phones better by improving internal storage space from 1.5gb to around 7gb or more for any app or game you want to install. Most people prefer using their name brand sdcard for storing music/movies/porn/whatever else and prefer installing all apps to internal partition so everything runs smoother/faster.
Can you partition the internal memory (the 5 gigs to ext3-4)?? There is an app on marker called s2e that uses the partitioned space in a sdcard as app storage, maybe it can see the internal space as a partitioned sd card and move apps there.. just a thought.

Ya i'm aware of that program S2E but it's only available for CM7 and i don't think it's possibl to partition the internal 5gb sdcard builtin the g2x...
Link2sd is the solution until a dev can figure the way to bind 1.5gb internal storage to the internal 5.5 sdcard. Link2sd is incredibly stable and allows moving all user apps to ext partition on external sdcard including dalvik cache and market links.
Also unlike s2e it will work for any rom and not just cm7!
I am running faux nexus aosp 1.3.1 rom with his DS .42 kernel and getting great battery life performance.

Heres proof how great link2sd works, already installed 350+ apps/games to my ext partition on sdcard and the phone is still running buttery smooth and have over 1gb+ left on internal. This would not be possible with just the in built apps2sd feature since that won't allow dalvik cache or some apps or games to install to sdcard.
As you can all see 35 apps on each page for the app drawer times 11 pages so far = 385 & i still go tplenty more to install with no worries of running out of space for a long while. Problem solved , for now lol

Any caveats that one should be aware of before using link2sd?

Naw it's really simple to use, you just need to partition your sdcard thru cwm. You should def make a nand backup and full wipe(it's not something you can do without being prepared first as partitioning your sdcard wipes all data off of it)
Other then that once you link any apps you want to sd-ext it will ask you to quick reboot so it can mount the partition you made on sdxard for those apps to be seen and used.

Any progress on this yet? I was thinking the same. Wish it was easy to expand the 1.5gb. Since I have 32gb external sd, it's best to have most of internal 8gb for app storage. I hate the constant message of low internal storage when install new app or even just app update. app2sd is ok but not very good.
I remember doing repartition for the nook color, thanks to DeanGibson who created a flashable zip.

No i mean the internal sd the one inside the phone it only has 2gb.i once had a hd2 and changed the internal sd for a bigger one so i though i could do the same with this phone. Is it possible??
Or mount the 16gb as internal.

Erm, the phone has built in memory, and then expandable memory from the microSD slot. Use a larger microSD and install your apps or transfer whatever media you have to that instead of the internal memory. You can also set your camera to save images to the microSD instead of the phone's internal memory.

if you flash the cm7 port your external sd will be in your sdcard path like normal, and internal will be under an emmc folder instead. as far as i know thats your only option
We(tfq) are working on separating the sdcard and external sdcard like in cm7...it'll be emmc for internal ans sdcard for external SD
It does take time so waiting is crucial we are working on a lot of stuff for you guys

Me too I had looooooooooooots of doubts but after I partitioned it today regretted every moment without ext!!!!!!
So I partitioned it through CWM 256 ext and 32 swap and when using link2sd it's exactly like apps are in /data(widgets...)
I don't know about risks coz I didn't face any
PM me for any question I'm ready to help!
I too have a doubt when I partitioning my SD card all my data in it will gonna erase

Yes, partitioning your SD card will format it and erase everything on it, so back it up first.
The point of an ext partition is to extend the internal memory, so you can load it up with apps and not run out of internal storage. This comes in handy on the ov which has very little internal memory to begin with. With an ext partition, you can use apps like link2sd to create symbolic links to your apps, so they can be on the sd card, but the "think" they are on the internal. This way you can move apps that can't be normally moved to the sd, or use widgets, which need to be on the internal memory. I, however like cronmod's ext scripts. They can be put in the init.d of some roms, and they will move your data partition, and/or dalvik, and/or data/apps to the ext. That way you don't have to manage apps like with link2sd. In a sense, it's like adding straight to the internal memory.
To partition your sd card, the easiest thing is to do it from a custom recovery. You won't get to choose the filesystem, but you can choose the size of the ext partition and swap. Keep swap at zero, as most phones here won't use it. Set your ext partition to ~10% of the size of the sd card.
If you want a different filesystem than your recovery gives you, you can use the minitool partition wizard on your pc with a card reader:

Is swap partition really helpful for low ram devices and O1??
Do we need to use any script to use of swap memory or is it done automatically??!
Edit: Good info about swap partition.

Actually swap is not needed for o1.Even on ics i have about 150-200 mb of free ram most of the time,and if u make swap partition u'll get even more free ram.But remember unused ram or free ram is nothing but waste of ram in linux,unlike windows.

If you come from ICS , your internal SD card may need a format.
You should have around 5.5 GB of internal SD size in total. Check that if you have only 1 GB. Then you need to format it.
