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.

Thanks will try that ROM
so is that generally best atm.. and any recommendation on custom recovery??
so
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
will this work for any ROM ?

yeah.let me clear about partition of sdcard:
for int2ext scripts
1) FAT32
2) ext3 or ext4 (as per custom rom,some rom wont work with ext4 but cm9 and cm10 will do)
for link2sd
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

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+

Hey guys, I recently flashed benjamingwynn's cm 10. I really liked the rom but the rom takes up a lot of space. My internal memory is very low, so even if I use link2sd I was only able to install some apps. Then I tried data2sd from the market. I created a storage file but when I try to mount it, there's nothing happening. Is there any way to make data2sd working? Should I follow any other steps?
Thanks in advance!

Data2sd from market? lol.
Data2sd is a script which is only flashed by installing from recovery or rom manager... Get cronmod int2ext+ script and flash it from recovery. It works pretty well.
I can only repeat sukhjit321, you have to flash it in recovery.
Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?t1r06j60gybhn2t
Put it on your SD card, then install it from recovery just like a rom (delete cache partition and dalvik cache before).
Or try int2ext+ or something else, but you have to flash all of them in the recovery.

Yes, first make a FAT32 partition, and then an ext4 partition (the ext4 is going to be your internal memory, so make it as big as you want)

Hi....i have a Wildfire S working on CM10. Im facing the problems of Low internal memory too...I have tried usinbg Link2Sd but barely helps...again doomed for low internal memory...if i flash data2sd try int2ext+ or something else, i wud have to flash all of them in the recovery by going in recovery mode and the install from SD card..BUT do i have to wipe everything or what i mean to say is do i have to flash the CM10 all over again by deleting everything OR just flashing DATA2SD / int2ext+ wud help.
Beacuse while using Link 2Sd i have already created partiion EXT4 for about 3GB on my 8 GB SD card..
Please suggest how i must do the process ....
Regards ,
Piyush
no...don't flash data2s or int2ext or othe sceipt simultanuslly....lit will cause crash...and u can use your link2sd partition as 2 nd partition....but if after flashing int2ext+ your internal memory dont change and 150 mb than you have to make patition again...sad..

I've been trying to install the cronmod INT2EXT4+ mod, but the phone kept on getting stuck on the bootanimation screen. Then I realised that my phone couldn't mount the sd-ext partition. When I try con cwm recovery , it says:
"Error mounting /sd-ext"
Can somebody tell me what's causing this problem, and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance

which rom you are using? int2ext4+ mostly working with cm9/cm10
second did you wipe everything correctly?
third did you flash int2ext4+ after flashing rom correctly? (silly but some people do that so)
fourth after flashing int2ext4+ ,did you format /sd-ext in mounts and storage?
Don everything, still doesn't work

I've done all of that. At first I thought the problem was because I missed a step or something, but then I discovered that when I try to do a factory reset/format sd-ext, CWM says: "error mounting /sd-ext!"
Thanks for the help, btw!

Also, I used to use INT2EXT+ before, with an ext3 partition, do you think that has anything to do with this?

There's a few really good SD card formatting utils about, I have been using one produced by SD™ themselves, solved issues a few times with messed up ext-2, 3, 4 mount points etc...
Worth a factory standard format to know there's no issues, as cwm doesn't always format the ext thoroughly.

How did u get 4 gb internal

Root, used a Rom with tweaked kernal and A2SD installed from zip.
Using clockwork mod - partition my SD to ext 2 or 4 in the size of 4038mb (or there about) I forget the Rom I'm using at the mo... The One X has taken centre stage but it's a variant on JB based on cyanogen mod 10.1 with kernal optimized for Rom and the version of A2SD is specific to the kernal. I'll pm you the details proper from work - and yep it's nice having uber internal storage... No more nagging, and low storage warnings.
Get a good quality SD card to - it makes a big difference on read write speed and less loss of corrupt sectors resulting in size reduction over time.

Doesn't matter what custom ROM I use, after the installation they all work until I restart the phone again (I restart the phone after clean ROM installation to see if it will boot, and it never does). After flashing any ROM I flash CronMod INT2Ext4, I have 512MB sd-ext (8GB SD Card). Can anyone help me with this? I would be thankfull.

Why would you flash INT2EXT4 on any ROM that you flash? By the way, do you delete the already existing a2sd scripts from the ROM before flashing INT2EXT4?

try flashing the rom without flashing INT2EXT4. Most roms have built in a2sd scripts, which allow you to move apps to an sd ext partition.
Also, how did you create the partition, best done with 4ext recovery or gparted.
512MB is also quite small, might want to consider 1-1.5GB.
As above, just flash Rom without another a2sd script as most have them built in or activate with terminal commands, check each thread. Which Rom are you using?

I created the partition with CWM Recovery, I'll look for the guide and make one with 4ext.
I want to use 1Gig but that INT2EXT4 guide said that I need 100mb internal storage per every 512mb sd-ext. (and I had like 150mb free intenal)
ROM I want to use is AOKP CM10. Don't know how to activate a2sd, and I don't need to know it if 4ext recovery will do it...

making the partition using cwm may have been your problem. Use this guide to remake the partition. Im assuming you want to use VJ's CM10.1 ROM. If this is the case, there is no need to use INT2EXT4. Instead use the preinstalled a2sd script.
After flashing the rom, you can activate a2sd by doing the following:
Open terminal emulator provided in the rom.
Type the following commands
su
a2sd install
Y

Ok, thank you, now just one more thing. I have to remove the previous sd-ext partition and I can't do that on PC cause disk managment doesn't recognize it, it shows 6.87GB free, I think it should be about 7.3GB cause its 8GB SD. Can EXT4 recovery do that or should I find some program on PC?

In 4ext, there is an option to "Remove all partitions and start from scratch". Im guessing that deletes/wipes your fat32 partition as well, so back your files up.
If you want to delete it without the fat32 being formated too, you can use gparted. But thats a bit time consuming and a hassle.

You will not brick your phone if you do not have an sd card
Partitioning sd card is useful when you want to increase the space for apps, which is very small (150 Mb). If you partition your sd card, choose one partition of 1 GB, ext4, and leave the rest in fat32. Then, when you will install the rom, it will ask you if you want to install scripts to increase space for apps. Select Yes.
If your sd card isn't partitioned, and if you don't want to get more space for apps, install none of these scripts or the rom won't boot.
Thanks 4 ur advise..i just bought this phone almost for 3 month n successfully unlocked bootloader and root yesterday..curenntly i just using the 2gb sd card in this phone till now..before i install the custom rom tht i mention before..do have i to format it or not??..coz i dun have any crd reader and i have 800mb sd card free space..

I flashed a new rom more than 100 times, all wiped, installed kernels that didn't work, and my phone never broke So what you have to do :
Reboot in recovery (VolDown + Power, then RECOVERY)
Make a backup of your previous rom
Wipe data, system, cache and everything (except sd card )
Install Marvellous Sense
When the installer will prompt about a sd script like Int2Ext, choose not to install it
Reboot
Enjoy your new superboosted phone

And when you want to increase internal memory, do this:
Choose which script you like (i recommend int2ext+, but that is my opinion), then go in recovery. Under advanced (i can't clearly remember, search for it), then there's an option partition sdcard (WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SDCARD SO BACK IT UP) and first choose swap i think, doesn't really matter what size it is. Then an option that goes to 4GB, select your favorite size (i recommend 512 MB cuz you have 800 MB free and you only wanna chat) and then let it do it's work. Then flash your script, and enjoy your new memorized phone
-i recommend to do a nandroid backup before doing this, so nandroid and then put everything on pc
-if you use int2ext+, you can only install max. 400 mb of apps, because it uses 100 mb per 500 mb. When you want a partition of 1GB like me, you can install 800 mb etc etc.

Good luck, hope this helped you

hi all,
the main reason for me unlocking my arc s was to mount an ext4 partition so there was no more agro with running out of internal ram.
ive tried various roms with various kernals and various scripts, the closest i got to one working was latest vengeance + latest viper + int2ext4+
but it kept lagging on video and internet..
i really liked viper but hdmi missing so waiting or 6.5....
ive just put lupusv16 + UHD4 + UHD mod and it is very impressive, the screen is better almost as stock with bravia2, hdmi very good and camera also very good, the question is which script definatly works properly with this setup? i dont want to move swap to int, just link ext4 on sd to int ram ??
cheers

With lupus kernel ver16 for ICS
only CronMod- INT2ext works even with partition ext4.
Am using the same.Internal up to 2.5GB,stock. ICS 0587 with said kernel.

Thanks dude, would be nice to see a matrix of kernals/roms/scripts so people know what works and what dosent, would save weeks of trial and error.
ill give it a go,

didnt work, hangs on boot...
Did you formated it correctly?
I mean, both partitions, fat32 and ext must be primary and some users told me that i have to do them with a sd reader...
I use Link2sd in GB and it works fine (ext4, 2GB minus the journal)

Hi,
i plugged my 8gb sd card into my laptop and wiped it, then created a 6gb fat 32 partition, a 1.7gb ext4 partition & the remainder about 300mb as swap. then mounted fat copied hd4 rom, hd4 mod and int2ext to it. then into phone, booted to recovery, installed rom as per thread, rebooted phone, left it 20 mins, booted to recovery, flashed hd4 mod, rebooted phone, left for 20 mins, booted to recovery, installed int2ext script. rebooted phone, then it hangs on boot..
from what ive seen the int2ext scripts are difficult to get working correctly with no lag, fc's ect.
cheers

First of you are on ICS 4.0.4/stock fw 0587 aren't you.
Cos lupus kernel ver16 is for ICS.
Like what angel said both has got to be primary.
Your 6gb/primary/Fat32
Your 1.6gb/primary/Ext4
You should delete link2sd,or any other CronMod extension versions from your sdcard before you flash the CronMod INTEXT2.
After done flashing go to mount n storage and format sd-ext.Reboot.
If everything goes well look in titanium backup or setting/storage.It will show the internal memory you just acquired.
If you get bootloop after that then wipe cache and delvic cache and reflash it again following the above procedure again.
But I don't think you'll come to that.If all requirements are met than its a piece of cake.
Try it again.And one more thing,it doesn't lag if not it only faster from my experience using it.
Tell us of the outcome.By the way clicking the thanks button would be sufficient enough to anyone who assist you in the future here on xda.
Cheers.

thanks dude,
its working, i formatted it with recovery and it worked?, i then checked the partition on my laptop and it wasnt bootable but it still works?
i then deleted the ext4 partition on my laptop and repartitioned it and didnt make it bootable and the phone booted straight up working.
i did use int2ext+ this time and not int2ext
dont know why it didnt work before unless something had put a file on the partition?
anyway
cheers

ok, its working with apps and streaming video is fine ( it wasnt before it was really laggy and fc)
so i got as far a tesing a game, and its sooo laggy its unplayable.
im gunna forget it, i dont think my sd card is fast enough, benchmark 20ms read, 5ms write.
cheers

Had you tried use an app for linking the ext rather than just install a script? I know that it's basically the same but still...
By the way, this is what i do, and its working:
0- Make a nandroid backup
1- Install Mini partition tool wizard
2- Clear the sd - Clic on apply
3- Create a new fat32 partition (13355 MB, 13GB) Default cluster and set as primary - apply
4- In the unnalocated space make the ext 4 partition (2GB - Journal) set as primary - apply
5- Copy the backup into the sd
6- format everything like when you install a new rom
7- restore
8- Download link2sd and select the ext partition
9- Reset
10- Move apps to it :/
My sd card is class 10 but honestly i dont feel so much difference with a class 4 :/

Thanks for taking the time to reply
i re installed rom & mod again, tested game and it was fine, so its def the script, i used int2ext this time instead and it was slightly better as it leaves data on internal for speed so im going to leave it untill i get a class 10 card then try int2ext again.
cheers
