Hey guys, I hope someone can help me with this little problem.
I got a new Samsung 32gb sd-card for my Sensation.
My rom is currently InsertCoin with ICS and I'm using the "4EXT Recovery Touch".
So now is the question how to partition the sd-card? One EXT or two? What is the advantage of two EXT's?
And do I need Swap?
The last time I need Swap was on my HTC Dream That's a long time ago.
Is it usefull on the Sensation?
How is your sd-card partitioned?
I would be very pleased about some answers!!!
No need for ext partitions. 32gb fat32 will do

and what about Apps2SD?
My internal storage is nearly full and i have not many apps on the phone, so i think an EXT could be very usefull for that, e.g. for games

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.
Do we need and ext4 Partition on our SD Card while installing Custom ROM's on rooted HTC Sensation?

Not at all. I have moved over from the Desire and had ext 3 on my card due to the lack of space on the desire. On my Sensation i have more app's installed (Well over 100 installed) than i had on my Desire and still have 617MB left.
hiya would any kind person recommend settings for the partitions on an 8gb card please?
never bothered with this side of EXT4 before, i got a bit confuddled when it asked for 2 lots of ext4 and a swap.

Hi,
The Sensation is blessed with 1 GB of storage for apps.
There is NO need for a partition on your sd card.
Fill it with music and films.
Enjoy.
Just 8gb fat32

many thanks to the pair of you
Hi all, i know this will be an old subject but the truth is i had a Desire 2 yrs ago before i started to play around with rooting and flashing etc.
Now i own my second Desire and it is rooted, s-offed, clockworkmodded and flashed with cm7.1.
I have recently been looking at improving my internal storage space and from what i can gather there are a few ways to do such a thing.
The problem is they seem a little bit too complicated for me not to mention a bit risky.
I am wondering if anyone has a simple method that will give me more internal space.
My sd card is partitioned (8 gig total 1gig ext3) i just don't know where to go from here.
Here are some details of my device.....
CWMod 5.0.2.0
CM7.1 Android 2.3.7
HBOOT 6.93.1002
Please Help!!
UPDATE:
I have managed to gain a little more space on my internal storage.
I found an app in the market called A2SDGUI and it allowed me to move the Dalvik Cache to the sd ext resulting in my storage jumping from 44mb to 107mb.
However, i am still looking for an answer to using the sd ext partition for all my apps since i have 1gig of space available.
Looking forward to hearing from someone!

CM 7 doens't have APP2SD integrated, this is why all the apps are installed onto the internal memory.
If you install any custom rom on XDA with APP2SD (MIUI, leeDroid for instance), you won't have any space problems.
Don't need to do anything else beside flash the rom, since you already have partitioned your SD card.
Hi, my girlfriend ask me to do something with HTC ChaCha internal storage as it can't store much stuff in it. I tried to move some app to SD card but it seems like it doesn't help much as apps cache will eventually fill internal storage (at least she doesn't have to clear all cache to get some space). Is there anyway to increase HTC ChaCha internal storage from 150MB to 512MB or more, or swap SD card to internal storage?
can make 2nd partition of ur sd card and use it..u can do it from recovery mode,,,but u cant use it on stock rom,,ur rom must supported the **init.d**...either u can use cron mod if u are using cyanogen rom...u can find cron mod thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
Good luck buddy..:thumbup:

Partitioning SD card in ClockworkMod Recovery and then using Link2SD works for me.
