Hello.
I am using HTC Desire (hero) rooted with latest cyanogen mod.
i`m running out of internal memory, i already have app2sd installed but and moved everything to sd.
i was wondering if there is any trick that lets say, i could make a small partition on my sd card, format that partition with EXT filesystem and that this partition will be added to my internal memory?

I've brought my sdcard from my old HTC Magic. There (using cyanogenmod) it was partitioned to have swap, ext4 space for apps2sd and storage space as vfat. I did not repartitioned the card since I started using my Defy but it ran out of space already.
The question is - do I need swap and apps space or shall I repartition my card to have only storage space for the defy? I'm using Jboogies rom, if that matters.
You do not have to partition your MicroSD card at all.
Shouldn't need apps2sd or space in sd card for applications. Defy has over 1g available rom space out of factory.
Ok, so I brought a new 16Gb Class 4 microSd card and I am going to partition it. I was wondering how much should I allocate to each partition type?
1. How does 14gb fat32, rest ext2 sound?
2. Should I leave any space for swap?
3. Also, out of Darktremor a2sd and Data to sd with dalvik-cache to ram, which one should I use?
4. In case if I upgrade my rom, do I have to re-enable them and copy the stuff again? Hows their compatibility with regard to upgrading?
5. Performance/drawbacks of each?
Thank You.
Anyone please?
I have a 8GB SD card on my XT720.
The partitions are as follows:
1: 6GB FAT32 for Android use
2: 1GB ext3 for applications
3: 600MB Linux Swap
Stock ROM will not detect it. And I am not bothered with it.
I had used MIUI (2.2) and now Cyanogenmod 7.1.0
Both MIUI and Cyanogenmod are supposed to detect and use ext2 partition, however it is not used.
Now I have settled in for Cynaogenmod 7 from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...300246&page=51), I need to know how I can get it fixed to avoid apps being installed into FAT32 partition.
Advance thanks to your help.
I used the MiniTool Partition Wizard H.E. to partition my sd card. My sd card is 4GB, I resized it into 2965MB so my internal memory free space is 1GB. When I flashed ICS (4.0.3) from kabalban I download 5 apps (not games) and it ate all of my free space in my phone (internal memory 198MB, free space 21MB -_-)
Please help thank you!

I have an ext3 of 512MB and it works just fine, I don't tried installing applications on the ICS ROM but it recognized those I installed on the CM 7.1.5...
Oh, and I used Gparted, you can also try using S2E to move the applications, its on the market ...

How big is your ext3 partition? As I recall, it will only work if it is less than 1Gb. Anything more is excessive, unnecessary, and non-functional

On a 16GB SD card I have a 2 GB EXT3 partition and it works just fine.
I used GPartEd to partition the card.
So I think he should try GPartEd, make sure the EXT3 partition is the 2nd one and if there are still problems try a different SD card.
You were in the same situation I was in when I had the milestone. Here is the answer.
Unlike phones like the HTC Desire the milestone does not support a2ext. Therefore. Your internal storage will always be very low. However apps that are big will automatically be moved into the ext partition so you don't actually have to worry about running out of space

There are flashable script which make the Milestone display internal memory of up to 1GB - but they are not compatible with CM
Creating an ext partition is much easier. I've got a ~520MB ext part. on HO!NO! mod an for me it is fine
