[Q] Data to sd with dalvik-cache to ram/Darktremor a2sd/swap?

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?

[Q] Partitioning a new Micro SD card Ext4 and Fat32 ?

Hi i just bought a new micro sd card class 10 and 16gb
i have my phone s-off and rooted, 4ext Recovery 2.1.0 in boot, LBC MOD 0.5.3
So the questions is how should i format this new card to benefit at max.
Should i directly copy the old card content to the new card and then full format the card to ext4? Or what?
What should i put in Ext4 partition and what to put in fat32 if you suggest me to have both.
And the last question should i use the mount menu or just format it and the rest will be held by the phone..
Thanks

I wouldn't bother using a partition on the SD card....so simply format the entire thing as FAT32.
SD-EXT partitions are only really intended for older devices with reduced internal storage, we should have adequate. Are you running short of internal space?
I personally don't bother locating any applications on SD as they all fit in internal memory and run faster from there anyway!

So what about HD videos bigger than 4 gb? So you mean that we only need EXT4 only if the internal memory of Desire S is not enough. What about a Class 10 sd card speed VS the internal memory speed? any idea or test about that? if the class10 card is faster than the internal memory?

Afraid that I don't know any of that
Perhaps perform some tests and post the results back, I'd be interested in them

[Q] ext partititon

Hi everybody,
I'd like to know what's ext partition and else...
for example all this :
- System: ext4
- Data: ext4
- Cache: ext2
- sd-ext: ext4 of 1gb
and how we do it and what's the use of it ? I've KYRRILOS 8.0 and G3MOD 2.0 OC
Thank you guy

I'm trying to figure it out 2.
I figured out for now that you can partition your sd card so you use memory on your sd card for apps(not internal phone memory).
Now I have problem to figure out how to set it up.
I also know if you have sd card class 2-4 you need app2sdv2 made by kyrillos13
and if you have class 6 or higher you need app2sdv3 also made by kyrillos13
I made partition of 1gb in CMW and downloaded app2sdv2(I have class 4 sd card)
you need to place it in on your sd card system/etc/init.d/
App2sdv2 and app2sdv3 are scripts for app2sd app.
There are some codes for terminal emulator wich is my emulator not accepting.
So I will join to you in search for an answer

partition

i just purchased a class 10 32Gb micro sd card to compliment this rom.
what would be the best formatting solution? (partition size, # of partitions) recovery gives you the option for 2 ext parts. is that a good idea?
I currently have it at: 1Gb ext, 1 Gb ext2, 512Mb swap & rest at FAT 32 using 4ext recovery.
I have already noticed an increase in speed just installing the card.
thank you
does anyone have any suggestions?
