yeah you can do that but some ROMs are optimized to work with ext2 partitions for A2SD.
swap size can be optional as its functions as bootleg RAM.

That is the correct way.... You set the swap and partition sizes to 0 and you are good to go, but as always, back up to your computer first.....

Just fyi, I was trying to do the same thing yesterday. I unmounted the sd card via the phone setting, and formated the sd card from within the phone (not plugged into the computer...all phone here), and it deleted the partition.
Guys how can I recover the space I loose with partioning?
I formatted my SD and went back to 7.38 gb
and if I enter to Titanium Backup it says 7.93

There are programs you can run off your pc that will recover any lost space. I saw them mentioned in the kingdom or Genger thread recently.

you can unpartition in unbuntu. as far as windows I dont know.
You buy your card on ebay? sometimes they give probs like that. (not giving full memory) you never get all the memory teir rated at but when its excessive theyres a problem

I don't have a direct link for you, but what your saying is exactly what the guy in the other thread mentioned. Except he was missing like over a gb I think. Someone referenced a program you can run, that will "recover" that space you seem to have lost after "unpartitioning" your card.

Alright so when I take a photo, it saves just fine, and stays on it, But when I take the card out and than put it back in, they're erased for ssome reason. It just sstarted doing it yesterday, every picture I have saved from previous times stay there, only the new ones get erased. And its not only pictures i take. If I download an image off the web, when I pop my SD out than in, those get deleted to. So far videos dont get erased though. Anyone know why this is happening? I just formatted it now to troubleshoot but that didn't work
I'm running Syndicate frozen 1.2 and genocide kernel.

I just got a new class 10 sd card and I'm having a similar problem. I had to reflash SRF 1.2 for testing reasons and photos between flash were lost as well.
Same here, at first I thought it was EF02, still havnt narrowed it down. For me it happens when I copy ROMs, tweaks.zipz to the sdcard from pc, but what fixes it for me is just clicking/selecting the file, then unmount, it works...

Make sure you ALWAYS unmount your phone on the pc and turn off usb storage on your phone before unplugging. Prevents data corruption.

Are the photo files going into the LOST.DIR folder on the sd card or are they just disappearing?

Doesnt go into the LOST.DIR folder. And the space frees up on the SD card.
So its officially only doing it to the photo format files. I formatted my SD and than put everything back on it, put it in my phone, it scanned and it all showed up just fine.
Problem occurs when I take the SD out and than put it back in, the media scanner re-scans it and now every picture was deleted. All the videos, music files, zips, etc all stood on the SD card.
Just wondering why the heck only the images are being tossed...

I read somewhere that there is a 2gb limit per folder so maybe make sure those folders you are saving to is less than 2gb.
Hope that is the problem, cause I don't have that problem yet - I have a lot of different folders like birthdays, family and friends, automobiles, videos, etc.
Good luck, keep us posted!
I'm thinkin it may be somewhat my fault afterall. Whenever I normallu remove my SDcard I just pop it out without going to settings and unmounting ffirst. If I yo to settings aand unmount before I take the card out now the ffiles stay on it so far. I guess thats my "fix" for it if that keeps working correctly.
So anyone having this problem, unmount in settings/SD card and storage before removing the card and see it the files you'd normally lose stick.

I followed those rules. Also had to reflash the rom when a theme I was testing got stuck in a boot loop. Pics I had saved before thereflash disappeared after the reflash. I've formatted the card twice, as well.

Are u anybody u guys having this problem on the stock sd card? Maybe it had something to do with whatever sd card younguys have. I have the stock card and I have never had any pics disappear on me and I've taken my card out quite a few times.

I am not using stock card but a class 4 card. Over the 4th of july weekend I had Google services error, gapps error, a popup saying I had to wipe data partition it was corrupted, pictures all got wiped out...in 3 days. Had to Odin 3 times and only twice ever before that. At first I thought it was Genocide 2.0, then I thought maybe the ROM I was using, now I have no clue but no issues either. Hope maybe it was an Android System deal and they fixed it...but I lost all of my good wallpapers damnit! Lol

I'm trying to find and delete that data Asphalt 6 downloads. I see some files in data/data, but the size does not add up. Anyone knows?
I also checked sdcard/gameloft. Still doesn't add up.
Found my answer. It's in sdcard/gameloft/... The TMO version did not seem to show all the , but when I downloaded the $0.10 version they all showed up. Weird. Now I have 928 MB in that folder.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/diskusage/com.google.android.diskusage
the Tmo version is a demo, not a full game
the one from Android Market is the real deal
and yes it goes to /sdcard/gameloft/<something>
it's actually 2 folders inside it, one that goes with GMLF<game code> something that's the 600Mb data
and then another for Asphalt6 for your progress/career saves
sheesh 526.36 megabytes, there should be a downloadable of this on their site so we can use download managers, this will take alot of time when you just download over the phone!

Try sd booster or sd speed increase in the market. Raise value to 2048 and set on boot . It made a slight difference on mine when booting up.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
most the custom roms already increased the size of the cache for the sd cards...i might be wrong but from what ive read its the cache size that determines the speed ...but as someone posted earlier speed increase worked great when i had my evo...especially if ur on a stock rom

thats because the evo's was defaulted to like, 4. it helped SO much lol. i used the sd booster in rom toolbox on both my evo and e4gt and set it to 2048. worked GREAT on evo. but imho, the speed increase is only slightly noticeable on my e4gt. not so much that i swear by it like on my evo. but, i still run it lol
i'm not really speaking on speeding up the process itself, im more or less wondering if we can get it to trigger faster. upon a fresh flash its always fast, but as time goes by and more and more apps get installed it starts to initiate 20-40 seconds after phone is up and running and lock screen hss already been opened

Add a .nomedia file to folders of any files that you dont need scanned on boot up. I do this to my folders with all my Roms and kernels and anything else that I dont want scanned on boot. This will save a good bit of time if you have alot that it scans. Sorry just read your last comment and i am not sure on how to make it start sooner. I dont know if that is possible.

Weird thing I noticed after playing with that setting is SD card bench marking apps, the read and write speeds slowed down after raising the value.

Sure. Use a file explorer app like astro or es file explorer. Pick the folder u want to do it for. Open it up and create a new file. Name it
.nomedia so for instance if u did this on the root of your SD card nothing would get scanned (btw I don't advise that) hope that helps guys.

Dunno for your, but for me it's hell. After boot's over, i have about 100mb of RAM avalaible and as it gets around 40mb, phone gets very laggy (like, call starts 2minutes after pressing call button...)
That happens quickly of course, since most apps use around 20mb (browser much more)... After that, only thing to do is reboot... And that take some time! And it can takesSo is there a way to "improve" that?
What I have started doing in my routine is when I am done using an app instead of just pressing the home button I press the back button until I am all the way out of the app. Also I don't use a task manager anymore since it seemed to hurt my phone more then help.

I use v6 supercharger and titanium backup to move most of my apps to sdcard. I usually hover around 190-200mb free. And that is with all gameloft games, shadowgun, and about a total of 40+ games.

i think about your problem with ram
(every method need root, some recovery too)
U can make swap file/partition if u have enough fast sdcard (i heard that min. is class 4, but more=better). Partition can be created using recovery i think (I never need this). Swap file can be created using a-swapper or Swapper for Root - I've newer used it too

I appreciate what I have and that is a sweet gaming phone that cost me $35 because I got the phone free and only had to pay the CA tax on the full unsubsidized price of the phone.
