hey guys i am new i really want to know if some one can fix r there's way to fix problem i.e
in creeds rom v2 dalvik-cache move to sd dont work i m stuck on boot loop for hours n i need a solution as in v1.7.2 i had 125 apps now i cant even install 50 of them....plz help.
maybe there's no ext4 partition?
no coz in v1.7.2 i made partition and of 512mb and moved dalvik-cache to sd and 64mb swap but a2sd is working well in v2 jus the move to sd function is not working as described by mr.creedo himself in the thread...n m still using v1.7.2 with sd-ext...
i think its coz of either rom or the kernel coz v2 is based on cmptly new firmware but in v.1.7.2 it is giving no such problem.
try link2sd...
Dalvik cache to sd is not working for now.Even i tried to do so but it din't work and i had to reflash. May be creed will come up with a solution
i have been studying android in deep and i think these steps might help via link2sd
and FAT2 partition

hey its wierd..i made a secondary FAT32 partition using minitools and then flash v2 n try to link my secondary drive but wenever i choose fat32 its shows error then i noticed that this rom automatically changes fat32 to ext3 wenever i insert sd card though i was able to mount my ext3 using link2sd but wen i link dalvik-cache it shows no dalvik-cache..!!
how's dat possible....is it something wrong with rom??
thnx anyway

ya that is ungaze script...already implemented in cm7.2 rc5.5 by asad007
I haven't tried partition tool...I partitioned via cwm...
and your secondary partition should be ext2/3, not fat32...
I partitioned ext 4 via windows. Putted ungaze script. Working . Same benchmark as without script. I am on rc 5,5

Het guys please becarefull about the partition thing..
Because its very risky and you better have backup of your sdcard ane save that backups at your PC or notebook..
Some of my friends has been loosing all of his data because of it.
When u first time partitioning sd card, it will remove all your sd card stuff ofcourse. Just put it on desktop and move back when partition is done.

Enter Recovery Mode by holding POWER + HOME;
With the Volume Down key (-) and High Volume (+) and navigate to the HOME key Select "advanced";
Select "partition SD Card"
In the next window you should choose the partition size.
If you have a 2GB card to advise you put 512mb 1024mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 2048mb.
And finally select the size of the swap partition for extra memory.
If you have an urge to put 2gb card 128mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 256mb.
enter the Market and install the program Links2SD
to open the program you should choose ext3 and press ok> then superuser permission> and after that restart your phone.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program.
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.

Press OK to start, and all your applications ready to go to memory that was created ext3.
Now we will install and configure the Swapper. Lower application, install the application by the Market, after check the Active on Boot Swap on Swap File Position sure "EXT Partition SD Card" in "Swap File Size" set a value as the size of the partition created in ext, I suggest that is a partition of 1024 put 250 if a partition of 2048 put 512 of superuser permissions and restart the phone.

I wouldn't recommend swapper...
long story short, it'll start affecting performance...and do more bad than good...
swap partition is basically virtual ram...but the problem with this is, our phones ram is fast, while even the best of sd cards can't match that...
so you may get better performance initially, but soon you'll regret having a swap partition...
Hi guys,
I've again have some stupid questions. I'm sorry if it was answered before, I didn't find. I'm using CM9 build #8.
1. I saw so many ways to use sd card partition to increase internal memory space. Which one should I use?
2. How can I partition my sd card(I have 8GB class 10) using phone(looks like my computer doesn't read sd card with the adapter)? Can someone give me full instructions(something like "1. do this 2. do that and etc")? I want to do everything carefully .
3. I see that I must have kernel, which supports ext partition. Which kernel should I use? I think this one should be the best, it has overclocking support too.
4. How can I install custom kernel?
5. Oh, and a little of topic question, do you think this(the part about ram) will really work?
Thanks. Please answer them .
Easyest way to repartition your sd is with recovery, there is pretty no way, to get it wrong, just remember ext partition, should be no more than 2GB and swap is 0.
About how to move app-s, there are a lot of scripts, my personal choice is S2E, its in the play store, becouse you can leave app data, on the internal memory which helps for smoothnes.
This kernel is good, but it wont work with stock rom, so you should choose some else, and this else is jaggy's or next gen.
Kernel is easy to install, just mount /system and /data, from recovery "mounts and storage" menu, then just flash the kernel, nothing needs to be wiped, or something else.
About the last question I havn't tryed it, but mostly I don't think there is need of something like that, Android know's what to do with the ram, it's not windows.
Oh and there is normal your PC to not find your ext partition if you are running windows system.

I'm using cm9 build #8, will it work? By the way, can you give me a link to the file to download? Because there is only 7z files, which recovery doesn't read. And can I use phonec as usb storage after partitioning and using these scripts?
Thanks a lot .

CM9 already has a custom kernel which supports scripts.. So you dont need to flash a custom kernel.. And as far as the app2sd scripts go, itz a matter of personal choice.. Some people use S2E, because of its simplicity and ease of use, while others use complex ones like d2ext, int2ext, ungaze, etc.. And then there are some who like to use more complex scripts like Mount2SD, which gives options like S2E, but can be used from the terminal.. For eg, you can choose to mount dalvik, cache, app, data to the ext partition..
So, in short, to each his own..
Hope this helped.. :good:

If you wanna use a safer Ram boosting app try the V6 supercharger script. It has an option where you can increase the Ram by using the memory. But it doesn't really make any difference, at least not for me.
Swap is used to store unused apps on that swap instead of the RAM, so that is why you don't see RAM Increase.
btw, swap on flash memories (like SSD, our phone's storage) kills them because flash memories have a limited read/write cycles.

Are you using any memory increasing script or any overclock kernel?
dude,which rom you use? i flashed a lot roms these days. using mounts2sd. set "driver" in the options to ext3 and reboot (be sure you installed the startup script in the application settings!)
and check the rest of the settings... learning by doing

if you are using htc sense build 9 then no need of any memory increasing script..
for partition:
use any partition wizard..
connect mmc using card reader and open the software on pc
see the drive of your card.
select the that drive and delete it..
now after delete click on that.
create new partition with ext4 driver
format it.
remaining one click on create partition fat32 and format.

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it if so. I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 that I would like to swap memory with (internal to external) so that there is more room on my phone for apps. I have tried a few programs from the play store, and so far I'm having no success. My phone is rooted, and has SU access. It's running android 4.1.2 (ICS?) and the model number is SPH-M840. ANY help on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.This has been driving me crazy, and there has to be a way to do this with my phone...right? Thank you!

Like2SD was the first program I tried. When I go to move an app to the SD card, it tells me:
"app2sd is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage."
I can link the files if I want, but doing that doesn't do much on saving space. Thanks!

Hi,
just give one more shot...
repartition your sd card....
first check your kernal support swapping or not with swapper script....
if doesn't support, search for a kernal for your device which support swapping & follow the procedure... it must work...
-rkk
Assuming you have root, search the store for "FolderMount [ROOT]".

Don't worry, I'm not giving up so easily...there HAS to be a way to do this with my phone. Maybe I should try using a different partition, like ext4 or ext3? I know ext2 is the one that is said to work the most, but it's obviously not working. Do you the partitions have to be set as "active" for this to work? Where can I find the kernal script? Thanks for the help!

What's strange about using that method, is when I swap, my memory card changes to 1.96 GB (which is what the internal normally is) but the internal stays at 1.96 GB. So than I have both of my memory, internal and external at 1.96 GB and I have to to uninstall the program and reset my phone for the external to go back to 7.96 GB which is the size of the card I have. It's a scandisk card...do you think that makes a difference?
