Hello!
I currently have RCMix HD 2.0 AP2SD rom on my Htc Desire, but since it is too slow for me, i read on forum that RCMix HD Data2Ext is much faster. I have Ext3 partition, which is 512MB, and 6,2GB Fat32. Since i must create two partitions Ext4, and one Swap partition, i should format my sd card, and i am wondering if that operation will erase all, including ClockWorkMod, and i will not boot into recovery mode, to install data2ext rom? Any guide, tutorial for this would be nice...
Thanks!
It won't delete CWM, becaus it is not on your SD Card.
Use GParted for partitioning (also a video in the RCMix HD 2nd post - how to).
You should partition your SD like this and in that order:
(Taken directly from the thread)
* D2EXT version - Fat32 + Ext4 + Ext4 + Swap (fat+1GB+0.3GB+0.1GB) recommended, but works without swap and with one ext partition too.

Correct me if im wrong
1. Partition is FAT32 primary
2. Partition is ext3 primary
I do not need swap space?
Im planing to install stock htc froyo prerooted with A2SD+, first i was partition SD card with rom manager and thats not working well.
Now i use Gparted.
All advices are welcome

Yes... 1. FAT32 2. ext 2/3 and no swap.
Please use search next time... There are plenty of threads with solutions.
I've got a new SD card and I wanna move all my data to it?
But how?
I'm running leedroid A2SD+ and with a 512 ext3 partition on my old card.
I tried to make a 1gb ext3 partition on my new card using ubuntu and moved the data there but the phone don't see the partition.
Could someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to migrate properly
Thanks
Read this, you can use Gparted instead of rom manager.
Hi All,
I have a stock Froyo 2.2 ROM on GSM Desire (rooted + S-Off)
am very happy with it but my internal memory is full (+/- 6Mb) thus would like to move some apps to SD
I am newbie on this subject and yes, I tried using the search but I get "Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 20-30 minutes." this happens for a few days now
all help is welcome and sorry for my english !!
Thanks
You need a custom ROM and an EXT3 partition on your SD card
yep, partition your SD card this way: first a FAT 32 partition and AFTER a 512mb or a 1 gb ext 3 or ext 4 partition (use gparted and a card reader or mount sd card while in recovery)
then install a custom rom with apps2sd+ (there is a variety of them, if you want to stick with the stock desire froyo there is one with apps2sd+ added, however you could also try leedroid - modified desire rom or baadnewz DHD - desire HD rom)
there is also a soulution called data2sd or data2ext or data2whatever (i dont really know the diffrence) it moves even more stuff to sd card, but you would need to have a class 6 sd card (at least) but you will probably be okay with A2SD+ (also i think it is less stable than a2sd+)
i use apps2sd+ rom with 512mb ext4 on a class 2 sd card, baadnewz DHD rom 1.9.1 and it works fast (really fast), and after installing all of my apps i have still around 90mb of free space! (while on a rom without apps2sd+ i was out of free internal memory, had 7mb left or something)
Thanks for your detailed reply
will do a nandroid and try one.
will I still have clockworkmod recovery if i experiment with roms ?
Yep as it's not touched by custom ROMs
ok i moved from wildfire to desire
im not a noobie
but im liitle confused on a few things
Convert sdext to EXT3 wats this all about
do we not use the Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 on this device
y do we have to have 2 ext4
etc
2gb fat32
1.5gb ext4
0.5gb ext
this is very strange
Partitioning SDcard
1st Partition: FAT32 - xyzMB
2nd Partition: EXT4 - 768MB
3rd Partition: EXT4 - 256MB
Remember 3rd partition is 1/3 of 2 Ext Partition for Batter Result.
It also work with 2 Partitions but less performance...
1) Place Cool_Rom.zip, flashable_data2ext.zip into SDcard.
2) Reboot in Recovery, toggle signature check off.
3) Flash Cool_Rom.zip. DO NOT REBOOT.
4) Flash flashable_data2ext.zip reboot and enjoy.

You news to understand a few things first.
1) ext is a type of partition that belongs to the Linux family
2) sdext is the ext partition on your SD card that you made.
3) we do use dark tremor.
I think you should do some more reading about your rom first. I don't get why there are 2 ext partition when you only need 1. I guess it's down to how it has been developed.

Well it's not that complicated. I don't know where you read that you needed 3 partitions on the sd-card, but usually 1 ext and 1 fat32 will do.
I only use 1 ext4 on my sd card the rest is fat32. maybe this is the way another rom works?
am using starburst data2sd
HI so just ur normal fat 32 n ext3 will do I read this in leedroid Rom I think I was very confused.
But if its the same then cool

Hey guys ! The primary reason I switched to a custom ROM was because the HTC internal storage is VERY small. The /data partition is almost a joke.
I installed the Custom ROM of CM 7.0.2 and am pretty much back to square one. So, how do I install a ROM on the SD Card ? Do I need to format the card to ext3 or ext4 and then make manual partitions ?

Same reason here initially. Just install a rom with a2sd+ and you wont have any problems. You do need an ext partition for that tho.
You can also change your partition table than you have more space on your /data partition but you have to be S-OFF to do that.
Here's a tutorial to S-OFF: [Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide UPDATED (Go to STEP FOUR)
Here's the alpharev site (there are the partition tables): AlphaRev
Because your're using CyanogenMod you can use the Bravo CM7 table.
You can also use A2SD but your SD-card is slower than the internal storage. And yes for A2SD you need a fat32+ext3/4 partition. A tutorial how-to partitioning your SD-card is in the link above, it's STEP FIVE.
Thank you!
