Ext4. More speedy..

What size of ext4 partition is best?

1 GByte - more than enough. 512 MByte is good as well, but in some situatioations is not enough.

Oh, so it does not matter?

Ext 4 is not supported on all roms. Generally it is quicker, but that also depends on the ROM...

im not sure abt that. but that's what im experiencing.

i've read somewhere in this forum that ext 4 would wore off your sd card faster than ext 3.

That's true, if it is without journal

I am very fine with Ext3. Did not realize any speed boost with Ext4 as well...

A file to 'categorize' files on the disk, for faster access (so to say), but for an SD this isn't needed because it's meant for big (1TB disks)

this should put things into perspective: http://gavinroy.com/initial-ext3-vs-ext4-results

Rom manager partition
I have created 512mb with 0 swap partition.
How do I know if thats 3 or4? Also how do i know if its working? Do I need to download anything else to move ups at the partition as Im still running out of memory...
Thanks In advance

HTC Wildfire S Rom & Partitioning 16GB card

Hi.
I think I'm going to install this rom on my HTC Wildfire S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430 (unless someone can suggest a better stable alternative)?
I have a 16GB sd card - how should I partition it (ie - what sizes)?
Im using mindhaxor's Rom. Its good for me.
Size depends on the amount of apps u r going to install.
If link2sd not more than 2 GB.
If data2sd. Generally no limitations.

Thanks but having looked at it, it still appears there are some bugs. I'll wait for a stable release.

My experience and advice of read ahead speeds is leave it be, stock android is 128 so 1024 which is what cm7 gives is by far enough. Increasing too high can and will most likely lead to sd card errors!! Thats all im gonna say as ive said it before. Regards with sugar lol, slym.

... here we go again...The ext partition is a part if your sd-card dedicated to holding apps and data. You don't have one. Thats why the rom doesn't boot. Make one using 4ext tools>partition sd-card. Select 1 gb ext, and skip the rest. Don't forget to backup your sd contents, cause they will be wiped.

[Q] Partitioning WFS 2012

hello all yesterday i installed a custom jellyking CM 10 ROM for the very first time in WFS 2012 Thank you XDA developers..:good:keep up the awesome work.
the main reason to install custom ROM was to increase my internal memory. i was wondering how can i do that now, i read different tutorials and i am kind of confused now, using INT2EXT+ or there was another tutorial using Link2Sd can anyone please guide me regarding that, and also should i partition SD card in CWM recovery or by mini tool partition wizard. i am having 2GB of card what size shall be suitable. Thank You
You can partition SD card by using CWM and choose the size which you think is sutable for you(512 MB should be good for you)..After Partitioning SD card install ROM,int2ext+ and then GAPPS..

with int2ext+ you can actually use up to 950MB
It's 750 MB because 100 MB for every 500 MB data..But as I said it's his choice

right, sorry. I just got confused, because I was lazy and used 1GB and my phone now shows 950MB.
okay thank you, i successfully did that but i was wondering if there is a stable ROM for WFS 2012 Ed. currently using this Jelly King 2.0 based on CM10 by kantry123b, but its having some bugs like video quality is annoying besides MX player isn't compatible with it as its not playing any videos, and these hardware buttons at the bottom of screen won't light up.
Sorry...Buy a bigger sdcard

or if you don't want to buy an sdcard with a bigger size then you won't have any size on your sdcard,and use the int2ext cuz link2sd is not recommended
