Is there a similar script "internal memory hack" like fit droid 3.5 for Cyanogen Mod?
RE
do you mean a way to install apps to the sd card?
you must make a ext partition in you sd card (CWM can do it) and after that use S2E (aviable at google play). it requires to be root, but if you use CM7 of course that you're root
Do you know the rom Fit Droid 3.5? Specifically, there is an overclock module which includes memory patch. This memory patch makes the internal memory sd-ext and vice versa. So what ever size you make the sd-ext, that is your internal memory. In plain words it reverses the internal memory with the sd-ext. Now my question again: Is there something similar for CyanogenMod?

why do u want to swap memory !
just increase the internal memory to whatever value u want by increasing the size of sd-ext ! and move it using s2e !

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?

No you didn't do anything wrong. There is no sd-ext to backup simply because you have no sd-ext, and that's okay. Lol
Ext is a filesystem type, and sd-ext would be an ext partition on your sd card. I think it is mostly useful on phones with very low internal memory, such as the Nexus One with less than 200MB available for installing apps. I never used it with my N1 but if i understand it correctly, the sd-ext frees up internal memory by allowing you to mount system partitions to your memory card.
I don't think we really would need one with this phone because we have much more internal memory available from the start.

Yup...sd-ext is just a partition created for Apps2SD basically. You only have one if you partition your SD card for Apps2SD and enable the moving of all apps to the SD card...it's kind of like a second (and unnecessary) data partition. All in all, you did nothing wrong and your phone will still make good backups
sweet, thanks guys
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

Hey , I am using custom rom (Jaggy Rom) on my HTC explorer, its working perfectly. I am using 2GB card, but where is my 512 mb gone i mean , apps are automatically installed in SD-card but in FAT partition, so question is what is ext-4 partition for? Where it is used?
And 2ndly i am also planning to change my sd-card from 2gb to 4gb, can u help plz. Thanx
if you have created a partition in the SD card you need to use a memory increasing script like Mount2SD or Ungaze...when you install this script the 512MB of the ext-4 partition will show up as your phone's internal memory.

Thanks for reply, mount2SD is preinstalled in jaggyrom 4.1, and will you help me on changing my SD card?
and how can i confirm if apps are installing on SD card. Mount2SD is installed, and i think script is working , because my phone is showing constant internal memory on installing apps (i.e about 160 mb even if i install apps or uninstall them)
changing your SD card as in? what are you asking,please be clear...
and in Mount2SD it usually shows the partition memory added up in the internal memory.I haven't installed Jaggyrom anytime but i have used Mount2SD and it always showed me the partition memory as a part of my internal memory....so not sure what's wrong.
Download disk usage app from play store..it will show how much memory is used in your SD card as well as your internal memory..just so you will get a clear idea

Changing my SD cards mean i want to switch the card, i m using 2gb currently and i want to replace with 4gb or 8gb
If you want to replace it make sure you buy a class 10 SD card..because most of people using sense based ROM are experiencing random reboots with class 4 SD cards...class 10 SD cards are much faster while transfering files...I would recommend 8GB class 10 SD card.
Alright but i have installed custom rom. When i take out my card from phone it dosn't works, and i want to copy previous sd-ext partition data to new card can u help how can i
I don't think so that any of the CWM or TWRP recovery supports the back-up of SD-ext..I would rather recommend you to use Titanium back-up to create back-up of all your current apps and than transfer the titanium back-up folder in your SD-card to your PC/laptop and than insert your new SD card and paste that titanium back-up folder which contains the back of all your apps (including apps in SD-ext) and download the titanium back-up app via play store and restore those apps.
Well thanx, What if i clone/copy my old ext partition to my new card's ext partition?
I don't think that will work. the best option you have is to make a titanium backup. if you don't wanna do that then save your sd card data ( data in fat 32 partition) and paste that in your new card. it will save you game progress, but titanium backup is the best way to go.
Well, that means i have to make a titanium backup and thn again install the custom rom i wil lose my settings

You've said that you partitioned before installing link2sd but not before installing data2sd. data2sd also requires extra partition just like link2sd.
The reason link2sd being not effective is because it moves all but data to sd-card. If any of your app uses huge data it will fill your internal space quickly.
Try going to Settings -> Apps -> Sort by data size and see which apps are on top and try clearing their data. This will free some space for some time but also clear that particular app's data.
As you've pointed out installing Dalvik cache to SD would be best. In my custom ROM I've to open terminal and type a2sd install and supply option y,n,y. Most probably this will work with your ROM as well.

I think there is no way to increase internal storage but you can follow some techniques or use some apps to move applications from internal storage to SD-card.
The point is that my mobile can move apps from internal storage to sdcard, but not exactly all files. Some files like data files keep stored in internal memory. Link2sd does exactly the same if you don't buy the Link2sd plus. So there is no point to use Link2sd.
