likely it depends on if you have already partitioned your sd. And edwin, any way we could get the link to the original post?

If u haven't try it, it move everything and lets u install many apps and the done does slow down at all from what I see in my phone. The developer has update the mod since Oct so its still alpha but it really does work! Whoever can talk to Simmons, ask him if he can combine this to the rom or improve it if he like thank you

It creates ext 3 partition. From what I saw after I flashed it.
Sent from my Marvelc using XDA
I think ppl who have no idea what something does shouldnt be allowed to repost it. This is the a2sd darktremmor script i havent looked at it but it esentialy it says to your phone that your ext partitition on sd card is part of the internal memory. If the script incloudes automaticly creating of ext3 partition that means 2 things-you wont need to partition your card yourself, you will lose all your sd card data as partititioning requiers formating sd. And kido this is not skype or IRC or whatever its forum, organize your toughts and put them in 1 post. It is nice that you are trying to do something good but in this case i think you are better of doing nothing as you might cost someone his sd card data.
Edit: Ok from what i gather it will not create ext3 partitition. However if you have ext4 it will reformat it to ext3. I might be wrong im no exper and i just took a quick look at the script.
else
Code:
echo " ERROR : No second Partition on microSD found: the ROM will most likely not work or only use app2sd";
fi;
I appreciate ur opinion but I know the developer and I know what this mod does but I understand what u are saying but if I know something works , I'm going to share it and it safe. It doesnt erase anything on ur SD card because I use it many of times.

No, you do not need to. You won't have quite as much space left to install apps and what not if you don't partition it though.
if you do decide to partition, here is a guide another user posted. First time I didn't partition and just moved user apps to sd using titanium backup to safe space

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291
And for future purposes, where does it say?
Thanks :S
do not use gparted. its unnecessarily complicated. I recommend you to flash clockworkmod, or better RMD recovery (you can easily adjust the partition sizes in future) and use that. Give it 1GB EXT, 0MB Swap, the rest Fat32. If you have a smaller sdcard, 512MB EXT (thats the bare minimum for future rom usage), 0MB Swap, rest Fat32. Thats it.
Okay, I'm going to use ROM manager as it is the easiest! I'll set the ext to 512 and no partition.
Also, Do I need to wipe my SD card to do this?
And would that be fine to download MIUI XJ?
Thanks a lot for all your help, I really appreciate it
Everything will be wiped on ur sd card, so backup! For MIUI it will be enough. In the future learn how to use ADB shell - thats the real deal.
Good luck

I haven't partitioned my sd card yet. I just wanted to get some info on this first. I am currently running CM7 and I'm aware that you don't need to partition to run this rom. I was thinking about trying MikG v3.00 or Decks and wanted to know if there were any threads on partitioning the Evo or any tips you guys could give me? Any suggestions? Once you partition your sd card do you tend to leave the set up as is regardless of using different roms? Does partitioning erase everything on your memory card?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

After you partition you do (well I do) tend to leave things how they are. After you partition to do a nandroid you have to backup sdext now and when you wipe you have to wipe sdext to go to a new rom. Also partitioning will 100% erase it so have to backup to your pc

Only if you want to use SWAP, think of swap as extra RAM, so if ur short on RAM swap might help, but swap is slower than RAM, and your need a Kernel with SWAP support.

Do you have to ext your SD card in order to put apps on to it? I don't really want to partition my SD card tho!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
most custom roms require an ext partition to work, read the first post requirements for each rom, I'm assuming you're already rooted?
i don't know why you don't want to partition your sd card though...it's not very difficult. use gparted or 4ext recovery only (NOT minitool partition wizard, rom manager or clockworkmod recovery). search for guides.
you may need to flash a different script to move apps to sd-ext, but again this depends on the rom as many have it built in.
No I would if I had a bigger SD card coz I only have a 2gb one and my parents refuse to buy me a 32gb one so yea......

oh didn't realise the situation. how about 4, 8 or 16gb as compromise? i'm holding off a 32gb myself until they become much cheaper.
or try dgb rom as i think it's designed on purpose without an ext partition. you would need to be s-off with custom hboot to make the most of it.
Yes maybe and I am already running a ROM which is alright for the moment but I really want runny ROM but obviously that needs an ext. I am running hiapk sensefun ROM by djroobs which I am happy with at the moment. I will probably wait until they become cheaper as well
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Yh ul need a bigger sdcard for runny rom, it needs 1gb ext 4 partition on ur sdcard and the rom itself from what i remember is 500mb (its huge)

Yep, I ran Oxygen for a long time with a small 2 gb card and it worked just fine. To be fair 4, 8 are now dead cheap and it will allow you to run the heavier roms that need 1gb ext.

You need to partition the SD Card if the Rom is A2SD enabled, and you want to use it. Yes it should be done before you flash the Rom. You should also find out what type of partition. Does the the Rom call for an ext.3 , or ext4 partition. If you are going to partition your SD Card you need to make a backup on the PC first. Partitioning the SD Card will wipe the card clean.

Not all Roms will work. If the Rom is built so that a2sd is enabled automatically, it will not work correctly. Things will be missing. You can have FC issues. In some cases I've had them not even Boot. So it is better to have the SD Card partitioned before you Flash if the ROM calls for it.

all the partitioning gets done thru recovery.
so where within recovery is partition actually done?
Hey guys, noob here. I am going to be flashing my phone today too.
Death by soaps mod seems to be what I am looking for, but I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
I have turned s-off with revolutionary and backed up everything with both clockworkmod and smelkusmod and saved everything on my computer.
I am not 100% sure how to continue with partitioning and flashing though. Do you have a recommended guide partitioning and flashing with your mod? I have found some general guides, but they are for other mods and I dont want to screw anything up.

Ok. Simple.
1. Move everything on your sd card to your comp.
2. Use smelkusmod as its the best.
3. Go to partition card or something to that extent.
4. Set your desired size, 1 or 2 gigs is good enough, depending on how many apps you have/use.
5. Set swap to 0
6. Wait for it to partition.
7. Upgrade ext from 2 to 3 to 4.
8. Put all your stuff back on the sd card.
Flashing
1. Use format all/superwipe option in wipe menu of smelkus to wipe.
2. Go to flash zip or something like that.
3. Select the file and confirm.
4. Wait for it to do its thing then reboot.
Done!

Nope no need to partition again. That's done. Also you dont need to wipe for mods unless the OP states it.
For Roms, however,(what you just flashed) always do a full wipe/ superwipe and if going between versions of sense and aosp, always wipe the sd ext.
For kernels always wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
