No Need To Use G-Parted or other complicated tools!!!!
I have fully tested the new CWM 1.2 and can now confirm that you can now make SD-EXT partition for use with APPS2SD+. Below is a step by step guide on how to do it:
Download the CWM v1.2 from RaiderX's Post and remember to say thanks!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
RaiderX Instructions for new user;
1. download one of the partition files, if you don't know which one you need, use the 250M one or check with rom developer.
2. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice
3. Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz and zImage) to the root of your sd card
4. boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
5. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
6. After complete, again boot into magldr and select "Boot AD SD" option
7. ClockworkMod recovery should load, you can flash a rom from here.
Now once you have done this:
> GO to advance and then partition SD card
> Remember this will wipe the sd card so back everything up if need be
> Choose how much space you want on the partition then then choose 0MB for swap
>PLEASE NOTE PARTITIONING WILL WIPE THE SD CARD SO YOU WILL NEED TO GO INTO USB STORAGE MODE IN MAGDLER AND COPY THE 2 FILES FOR THE SD CARD FROM THE CWM DOWNLOAD
>and hey presto your done
> Remember you need to use an APPS2SD+ rom for this to work!
There are many benifits of this using EXT-Partition such as you apps will automatically transfer to your partition and many others you'll find out for yourself
Please Note: Not every app will get stored on the SD-EXT partition no matter what you do as there meant for the internal memory
i have 2 gb mcard,need help
Just follow the instructions doesn't matter on the size of your memory card, just choose an adequate size for your partition

you might want to add that this will also wipe the CWM files off the SD card so will need to use the USB Mass Storage option in magldr to copy the files back over
good
Thanks for this simple tutorial, bro. But may I ask. What is swap. What the best recommended size for it. Sorry for noob question.
edit: just know to select 0mb. Thanks
OK thanks for that
the partition is only ext3
is that a problem?

Thats not a problem as most roms support this its EXT4 that some roms don't support, but check the rom thread just in case

Its to do with having a external ram cache but you need to put 0MB!
i have a 16gb sdcard, and i was amazed at how quickly it formatted and partitioned my sdcard, but when i loaded my rom it hadn't done anything lol. so i tried one more time and then i noticed it was taking a bit longer so i felt it was working and it did. just sharing my experience. might take more than one try

If we do a SD-EXT partition for use with APPS2SD+, will installing/uninstalling app lag? And how is the performance when compare to installing in phone memory?

No it will not lag and performance wise its should run faster as it has more space to place with and will not decrease the internal phone memory

Will all applications be installed in this extension? And will it cause any error when application, that required install to phone, are installed in this extension. For example,in MDJ CM7 2.2, Angry bird is required to install in phone memory in order to work.

It wont cause any error like i said before not all applications cant be installed to the ext partition so some applications will be installed to the internal phone memory, As for angry birds it will automatically install to the SD-Card partition as i have bot the season and normal version installed and they both run fine on the SD-EXT partiton
where could i get APPS2SD+ from ?

we need help very fast, please help!!!!
thanks a lot
I have these backed up on my SD card & PC too. But I'm afraid it has some private stuff also backed up.
I reccomend you installing a stock rom again and root it (installing a stock rom unroots your phone).
Like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918939 Be sure you use the latest ROM and read the full thread!
Also why don't you try another rom, see if it works? ANd make sure you wipe all data (factory/cache dalvik)
how we should install that when we can go only into recovery mod, we can go to sd card but the link you give to us, there is only a rom with is a exe.
can you give us a deteiled introduction? we aren't so good in these things :S pleaase help.
edit2: we can't start the phone so we can't chose htc sync...
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
The tutorial and ROM you should use:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bbb7m2b4t5jejhm
If you can't start the phone, then search the forum here for solution...
the problem is, we dont have android on the phone now, no datas nothing, we can pnly good to recovery mod...
we need to install a backup or something from recovery that we have a system on our phone....
so we should need help! ((((((((
edit:
an idea nagypapi :
maybe you can backup you data now, then wipe all your data and flash a completly new rom, then you can make a backup from the completly new rom and than you can give us the backup files bacause these data are without you personal information, thats the one chance ,,,please.....
Download leedroid noA2sd, boot in to recovery, mount the sd, copy the rom to the sd, unmount and flash the rom. You can use a other rom than leedroid if you want but for now just use it.

A possible solution here in post no.7:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
Also I can do the thing you suggested to create the files , but since now I am not at home upload would take forever...
Also try first installing the NOA2SD LeeDroid rom.
+ What Rom You want to install? Does it need an ext 2/3/4 partition, maybe that's the cause, also make sure your SD is formatted to FAT32.
Yes I think its the fat, I try it home later.
The main problem was that we can't mount the SD could. Not mounted in the recovery ... I say it already at the top...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yeah, you must make an ext partition on the FAT32 SD card, and it should work.
Can I make that with ubuntu?
Ok then I have two partitions on the sdcart (4gb).
On which partition should I have all my folders?
On which partition should I have my zip data (rom) ?
;D you make me hope
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Your error is related to a missing ext partition, since the phone doesn't boot i assume you tried to install a sense HD rom. What it said a the top is mounting the ext partition failed, I'm talking about mounting the normal fat partition as mass storing to copy the rom onto the sd card. If that also does not work, take out the sd card put it in a card reader and copy the rom on to it, the put sd back and flash leedroid. This will give you a booting device.
If you want to make and use a ext partition make sure you first have the fat and then the ext3, all files should be on the fat partition and there is no need to do anything else to the ext partition.

I suggest using GParted for that or anything that works in Ubuntu.
If you have another Android device (i bet you have ) you can dowload ROM manager form the Market and use that to create partitions / format card (it is easier).
"Partitioning your SD Card ready for A2SD+
* Backup all data on you SD card (this will be wiped)
* The card should be formatted with your standard FAT32 partition 1st followed by an EXT2/3/4 partition
* Linux users use GParted or a similar software.
* For everyone else I would recommend using Rom Manager
* Once you have downloaded ROM manager from the market, open the app and click partition SD Card, Select your EXT size (512MB or 1024MB recommended) and set 0mb for swap
* Restore your data to your SD and the job is done."

IF YOU LIKE THIS TUTORIAL,SAY THANKS
please test it on stock and does i need to partition my sd card before doing all this or will it do it automatically. ( btw i have a 2gb ext2 partition with link2sd )
hellnoob:you dont need to make partition before this tut like for link2sd,you will create it in recovery so delete partition for link2sd and start with clear(like with new ) Sd card
can i use both link2sd and data2sd then by keeping my ext2 partition and making a new one through recovery for data2sd??
its not necessary,to keeping ext2,because data2sd does everything instead link2sd,so data2sd is better in my opinion,
after this tutorial people are using link2sd only for deleting and uninstalling system apps, but for this activity is best Root Uninstaller
It says the data2sd zip is corrupted n doesnt let me copy it to my SD card also!
^^ yes cant even extract it
This is the original link by Jikantaru for the Data2sd installer!

Hope it helps!
there is alredy suck thread around here ...
it works on me but there is one problem...when trying to download from market it say "could not be downloaded due to an error"....Google talk also have a problem when trying to sign in...i have try so many time..at last i'm signing in..downloading from 1mobile market is fine...
You say "CWM", but don't you mean CM 7 ?

you are right!
From my understanding formatting the /system partition through CWM will remove the android OS completely from your device and you would have to flash a new one to replace it. Found the following information on the below website:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/
/system
This partition basically contains the entire operating system, other than the kernel and the ramdisk. This includes the Android user interface as well as all the system applications that come pre-installed on the device. Wiping this partition will remove Android from the device without rendering it unbootable, and you will still be able to put the phone into recovery or bootloader mode to install a new ROM.
My question is, if I format the /system partition, does it remove all my currently saved pictures and videos on my internal memory? When I install a new ROM I typically wipe data /factory reset, then perform TDJs super wipe before installing the new ROM.
However, the instructions for installing the newest CM10 ROM also says to wipe /system partition. I know this will remove the OS, but will this also remove my pics and videos or should I back them up first before performing this step? Thanks.

Now i could be wrong as i am no Dev by any means but i do not think it will wipe your emmc as well. Reason i think it will be fine if you wipe /system is if you go in with root explorer and go to your /system folder your emmc is not located there so therefore if you were to wipe your /system patition it sould leave the emmc partition in tact.
But as always i would backup your emmc to your pc and give it a try. Hope this helps :good:

I was thinking the same thing as well but just had to ask because I have never processed the format /system action before. I am currently running a TW ROM ATM and looking through ES File Explorer my sdcard (which is the same as emmc on AOSP ROMs) isn't located located in the /system folder either.
Thanks for your reply, I tried to give you a thanks but I have reached my limit today

I'm no Dev either, but your right. Formatting system will not touch your emmc or sd cards. If you format system when flashing a new nightly (which I do every 3rd flash), you won't lose any user data at all. Only ROM and system apps, this is why you need to reflash Gapps as well if you format system.
When you use TDJ's wipe script, it formats everything (including system) except emmc and external sd cards.

Thanks so much, I run TDJ's wipe script with each install of a new ROM and completely didn't realize that is also wipes the /system partition. I just re-read his Superwipe thread and right in the OP it says
"This exceeds anything that CWM is capable of from the menu options. This will format and erase EVERYTHING on your /system, /data, /cache partions with EXT4 file system. It WILL NOT wipe SD CARD or EMMC... After it is complete with format and e****, it will align all disks partitions properly."
I was up extra early this morning, forgive me, I need to learn how to read better as well :laugh:
Thanks again.
Remember guys, wiping doesn't wipe everything. However, not wiping everything can bring its own issues.
Sorry for bumping up an old thread but it was very relevant to this topic. If I wipe the system before flashing a new ROM will my apps remain intact with their data? I know system apps will be gone but they will come back anyway so it doesn't matter.

Yes, they will stay intact with a /system wipe. However, with a factory reset or /data wipe, your apps will be gone.

Hey Guys
My friend has a Wildfire S.. We have S-offed it.. and put custom recovery.. CWM 5.0.2.8 .. Questions are
1) Is that good or latest recovery? or something better?? like TWRP ?
2) We have drilled down to three ROM's we can see..
CM10.1 4.2.1
CM10 4.1.2
CM7 2.3.7
We had tried CM10.1 but felt a bit sluggish.. slowish.. probably needed to do something more...
which rom is good out of the three or any other??
(we don't care about the usb tethering not working or camcorder recording etc).. should not be sluggish although.. won't say it will be lightning fast either.. I know the phone is quite old and limited..
3) We saw internal memory used 100MB and left only 20MB.. obviously we need to increase that.. we have a 12GB Card.. Now..
Do we need to format to ext4 ? full Card or partition? how much? what with the rest of the partition ?
Then which one to use for data to SD by default? Do we use INT2EXT4+ as mentioned in CM10.1 guide?
Is that compatible with all the ROM's or others above
We can currently format so just want to set it up correctly first time.. dont want to get it wrong..
any answers will be great!!
Cheers
Actually you posted in wrong section.. This should goes to Q/A section.... and yeah these questions have asked many times... Try search before posting...
Anyway... there is a touch type CWM recovery available(search in development section)... but 5.0.2.8 is used by most of the users, cuz no one need more than that....
Try cm9 roms... like MIUI, Paranoid Android ICS, Speed Droid... Those are great and quite stable and of course fast...
and for SD Card tweaks.. ext2 and ext4 are best... But for cm9, cm10 ext4 partition is preferred (idk why)...
make a second partition using minitool as ext4 and make it as primary (imp - not as logical)... then flash the int2ext+ (or) int2ext4+ script after you flashed the rom...
note that int2ext4+ is only for ext4 type partition and int2ext+ is for all ext2,3,4 type partitions... You can partition you sd card upto 2 GB ... cuz it is stable limit..
Yes int2ext scripts works with all roms....
Thanks for that..
So CM10 rom is not going to be quick?? which is good in Gingerbread then?
So I should format the 12GB card into 1) primary ext4 of 2GB and 2) leave the rest as FAT32??
then
1) Wipe everything
2) Install custom ROM
3) Install int2ext+
4) reboot
5) get into recovery again
6) install gapps
7) reboot??
missing anything?? also do i need custom kernel etc?? which one if so??
Flash the JellyKing rom by kantry. It is a smooth and stable cm 10 rom. There is eoghan's kernel in that rom so you don't have to flash a kernel.
Everything else like you listed it in the last post.

1) wipe
2) format 2GB ext4 in sd card as primary and rest as fat32?? or any other?? both primary??
3) install ROM
4) install int2ext+
5) reboot
6) install gapps

1)FAT32
2)ext3 or ext4
3)linux swap partition(as per your phone RAM,512 MB is enough)
int2ext scripts dont require swap partition as per their description in main post.all partition should be primary,and 1 GB is enough but if you want 2 GB its ur choice but dont partition more than 2 GB,and yeah int2ext+ script uses 100 MB internal memory for 500 MB ext3/ext4 so if you partition 2 GB,your 400 MB internal space will be consumed..
you can directly partition you sdcard with help of minipartition tool on your computer.
and for you clearance linux swap partition is work as your backup rom.some cache will save on that partition so your phone speed wont slow.
Thanks..
Considering (in terms of preference)
1) JellyKing
2) Paranoid Android
3) Speed Droid
Any suggestions between the three?
Also I am planning to use in2ext+ with the following
1) 1st Partition - Primary 1.5GB ext4 (Read maximum should be 2GB so just being safe?)
2) 2nd Partition - Primary 14.5GB FAT32
So
1) Do the partition structure and size look good ?
2) Do all these roms support int2ext+ (I think so on reading)..
3) Do I create a swap partition as well? if so which order and how much? (reading suggests 500MB).. whats the advantage? any additional thing to be used for install? how to check if it worked as it should?
So after doing that.. I should
1) Wipe everything
2) Install ROM
(reboot or not after that??)
3) install int2ext+
4) Reboot and see if rom detects internal memory properly?
5) back into recovery and install gapps and reboot
Does all of this sound good??
Need to do this in an hr or 2 so quick reply will be appreciated
Cheers

sorry for late reply but my internet sucks.
first install speedroid.its fast,stable.i m using it s.:cyclops:
another reasons are jellyking is based on JB,which has many little bugs despite camcorder and all.and paranoid has dockbar and dpi size is very small so i dont like it.but its upto you what you want.
and use int2ext4+
its very fast and better than int2ext+ and yeah all cm9 and cm10 roms supports it.
partitions are good,you can use 1.5 GB ext4 but keep it 1 GB for caution purposes.might you dont need 1.5 GB belive me.
and yeah swap partition isn't need in int2ext4+ scripts but you have 16 GB memory card so keep swap partition 512 MB.
swap is work as backup RAM,its 512 MB because wildfire s has 512 MB ram.
steps:
1)wipe everything
2)install rom
3)install int2ext4+
4)go to "mount and storage"
5)format /sd-ext (its needed to format your sd-ext partition)
6)reboot
its take little long time to boot because we installed int2ext4+ script.then you can check internal memory.
then reboot in recovery again and install gapps.
and yeah if you wanted to install speeddroid,gapps already installed in it so no need to flash it.
need quick help.. have done everything and shows internal memory fine and have put speed droid
but i am installing gapps-jb-20120726-lite-rebased.zip and reboot but not a single gapps showing in phone.. it flashes fine as well..
partition
1) fat32 12GB
2) ext4 - 2000MB
3) swap - 500MB
using int2ext4+

you installed JB version..i have ICS version so not sure about gapps.
but might you installed wrong gapps.
when you installed gapps and reboot,
on your screen something like that "android is upgrading?"
