Yes you sure can if you want to use app2sd script. As said above you can partition it through recovery. and as per this post you need the specific version for ics roms.

Is there any desire roms out there that doesnt require a ext partition these days?
I just want a custom rom without the need to always use that one sd card to boot and im not really much of an app user anyway.
a lot of the apps2sd roms will go on without an ext partition - but you'll just have limited space, usually about 73-130mb of the internal storage...
Looking in the android development thread it seems that most of them listed ext partiton as a requirement due to parts of system files are also in the ext partition required to boot.
Check with the dev of the roms for apps2sd ones that you might like... I am sure I saw an 'apps2sd killer' script too once so you might be able to apply that
the 2.1 ROMS usually goes well whitout the app2sd but its highly recommended
try CM7

Just delete the ext partition and the rom such as miui for example will detect that there is no extra partion an so will disable the a2sd scrript

If you do go down the road of partitioning as you put it
Save yourself some future hassle and purchase a class 10 memory card and read about changing your recovery program to 4Ext Recovery 2.1.0.
I'm a complete noob but managed to do it with a little forum trolling

Hello there,
I'm with the rom RunnyMede AIO V2.2
And it seems that the A2SD++ will work only with EXT4, I mean, I have no idea what partition I have because I made it through the CWM Recovery 3.0 [and I realized if I did it through the Recovery, Chances 99% it EXT3]
and probably that's the problem appears to me that partition is not exist.
I was looking for a solution without doing re-partition because I afraid to do the entire section of the partitions on that program to run in Boot through Windows.
And I found something in one of the Roms with Sense 3.5 on the developers forum, download ZIP file named "Alignment_Cool_2".
According to creator of the rom there, this ZIP file installation via Recovry, who passes the partition from EXT3 to EXT4.
Now my question if it's reliable? If not, is there another way? If so is it requires reinstalling the rom or formatting the partition? Or just what I have to do is install it without having to do anything else?
Thank For Answer!
Hi, im using 4ext recovery and backed up my fat32 partition and after that i created a ext4 Partition with 1.4 gb behind the fat32
Works great for the a2sd+ option

Should I have S-Off to install this recovery?
It is not required but it is always good to s-off the device. I made this with the stock hboot and did not have any Problem with that.

Anyway I did S-OFF and downloaded 4EXT Recovery, and now it's converting from EXT3 to EXT4, Thank you very much!
Ok. Hope that it works on your device too.
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App
Yes it worked!
but I have another question ^^
I understood that I should install cm7r2 hboot to install XD2SDX script.
so...
1. Is XD2SDX Better than A2SD++?
2. Is it good to install cm7r2 Hboot? If it is, how can I do that? is this dangerous for my device?
I think you get more space to install apps with that Script. But i use stock hboot and the normal a2sd script. It seems more stable... and i have after 50 installed apps 50mb free. I think thats enough.

By using the search you will find out everything you need to know about hboots.
desire rooted with s-off,I have changed the rom on my desire several times I am now on Cynogen 7, can any one help, I have approx 9g of my sd free but am continually getting can't upload system full. If I wipe my system data and cache, will I still be able to install rom from my sd card. Or is there a better way to do it?
What HBOOT are you on? If you /system partition is full then use a hboot with a larger /system partition.
Cheers forthe reply. My hboot is 256 how can I enlarge it.
By going S-OFF and flashing a hboot which gives you more space on /data.

first of all - what exactly are you trying to do??
when do you get this error??
and - when you switch roms you should do complete wipe - system, data, cache, ext - i guess you know that already
but 9gb sd space has nothing to do with system partition
and what rom are you trying to install?
i dont think most roms give problem with stock hboot
Flash a different HBoot mate , use cm7r2
Or you could just try Supernova and get 2 GB free

Maybe the OP wants to know how to set up a2sd?
1) Make an ext4 partition using gparted (and only gparted!)
2) Choose any of the a2sd scripts you like (use search to find them) and set them up according to the instructions in the corresponding thread
3) Enjoy plenty of space.
Hey is there anyway to increase internal memory without flashing or using a2sp?

Assuming your device is already rooted, you could flash a different HBOOT than stock to give you more space to install apps. Look up Alpharev on XDA.
Allright then il look it up, thanks!

importantly, don't think it's been mentioned here yet...you need to be s-off to change hboot.
@OP not sure why you seem against flashing a different rom
if you do end up flashing a different rom, as above check which hboot is suitable. many also require an ext partition on your sd card, and have a2sd scripts or similar built in.
use gparted or 4ext recovery to partition your sd. (changing to 4ext recovery also requires s-off)

Currently my set up is a SD card with a 1GB EXT 4 partition. CM7R2 Hboot with MILDWILD ROM v4 installed.

I think the most space you can get without using a2sd is to flash the dGB ROM on a custom MTD. But i wouldn't take the downsides (it's slimmed down extremely), so i just use a2sd.
If you just want to keep your stock ROM, have a look at link2sd on the market. It's pretty much a2sd, but you have to do it manually.

If you do decide to partition your SD card, I second the idea of 4ext recovery. Here's a helpful guide for partitioning with 4ext: http://bit.ly/JuIzwb.
I want to install AceS Rom but I don't know what this mean:
- STOCK hboot: Wiped ext2, 3 or 4 partition (for APP2SD), 1 GB - Dalvik-Cache moved on the first boot on the SD-Ext
Can someone tell me what this mean.
I can make partition with my 4extra recovery. Now I'm on stock Rom.
