Hi,
I've just installed Teppic's '2.29.405.5' ROM' and APP2SD+ using Clockwork Recovery, all went fine but I cannot see the partition being added to the system memory.
Internal Memory shows 140MB (Factory) but I have partitioned 1GB as ex3 and 3GB as Fat32 using GParted on my 4GB Class 2 Card.
Please could someone help me, have I done something wrong?
Thanks

Are you sure FAT32 is first partition?
Also if they are primary partitions?

Yes both are Primary partitions and Fat32 is first partition.

It's normal, system space remains the same. It only doesn't go down as fast. Strange you couldn't find the answer by searching.

Okay thanks. How may I keep track of the partition storage space? Titanium?

There are apps on the Market that can show you the A2SD storage space remaining, Quick System Info is one I think (can't remember)

yes quick sys info is usefull to evaluate storage... more if you use a root explorer like es explorer, U can see your app on ext3 => /systeme/sd/... you should fine some folder like APP, dalvik-cache, lost+foung etc.. which mean your a storage app installed on sd card

[Q] internal storage/system storage

so i have been removing unwanted system apps with apps2sd, but i havent gotten barely any storage back? So i looked in the manage apps section of ROM toolbox and found that under system apps there is system storage, and under internal there is internal storage. Is there any way to merge the two to get more space?

Hey there I used to face this problem as you, what you have to do is open the terminal and right in it the following :
su
Then hit enter it will give you access as a super user then type:
a2sd cachesdreset
Now it will move all your dalvik-cache to the ext partition
And you will have around 90 mb free on your internal
Hit thanks if it helped you

I try this one also...thanks for the info

I noticed it said partition? Does this mean i need to partition my sd card? Because i have been holding off on that until i back my sd card up.

Yea you have to make 2 partitions one is fat32 and the other is ext2 but back everything on the memory card first

My 2GB SD Card has 3 partitions, the 1st is FAT(810mb), the 2nd is EXT2(510mb), and the 3rd is SWAP LINUX(512mb). When I typed the command above I saw a couple options checked in square brackets:
[x] No a2sd.swap environment variable found
[x] Problem detected: Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran
[x] EXT partition is not mounted. Cannot continue.
Is there any way to fix it? Thank you in advance.

What is the ROM you are using? it seems it doesn't support a2sd anyway go to the play store and download an app called a2sdgui then open it and go to info tab check if it show your ext partition and swap if it does go to tab dalvik and press on move dalvik to sd ext then it will reboot and its gonna take some time to boot as well don't worry once it start go to storage info and your internal storage should be around 90 mb or more

How do I see my ROM?
I downloaded the app as you said and looks like it is working now, but when I press the "Swap is deactivated!" button in the first tab, it doesn't turn on. I formatted my 2SD card in CWM
EXT Partition: 512MB
SWAP: 256
Now , back on my PC, it shows that my card has only 1.12GB size. I don't know how to put my swap to work. Any idea would be great appreciatted.

Completely Format the SD card.. with any LLF(Low level Format) tools. It Just erase the partition Info and make it fresh. then Just use Partition manager such as Minitool, Easus partition to create FAT, ex3 or ex4, the swap. Then do the same process.

I formated only the last partition, which is the swap partition, using Mini Tool Wizard Partition Home Edition, and it still not working. I am afraid to format the whole card because I don't know how to recover all the apps that I already downloaded and installed. Would you know to do it? I got a back up in my PC hard drive. Only moving the files into back the card is not enough because I can't see it in my phone.

There aren't tutorials on what ROM you might choose. There is probably a sticky that list the ROMs with links to threads. You can go to the various threads, read, and make an informed choice... Or keep asking for ppl's opinion. You will find ROMs vary and you may prefer one for say the pretty widgets; Another might want a minimalist ROM. Not really a best rom; there is only what you feel is best for you.

In CWM or PX recovery there is option to make partition on sd card. Search it, perhaps it is in advenced options

Before making a partition: Copy all files from you sd-card to your computer, then partition the sdcard, after partition, restore all the files again

Oh, yeah, i forget to write this. Making partitions via recovery deletes all your files from sd-card. About two weeks ago I did it -,-
But making partition via PC is safy

After creating a partition on your sdcard download link2sd from market and create ext4 partition and restart your device

It's better to make partition size not more than by 10% of your sd-card.
Like if you have 8gb sd-card then you should make around 750-780mb to be on safe side

Which EXT Partition do I have?

Hey! I used Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4

Have u already made partition of sd card via CWM ?
If yes, then install link2sd.
When u'll open it, it will ask whether which partition do you have ...... select ext3
Then reboot.
After that go to link2sd app > menu > show storage info and u'll see it.
Now how to use this
Link2sd is the first app i install on a new rom. Open > link2sd > setting > create link > automaticallly create link of all apps to sd card.
So even if u restore apps from titanium backup, newly installed apps will move to sd ext.
For a CWM partition tip, i'd say select ext4 there with swap size 0.
That's how i did it.

When we will choose which partition we need, will it format the sd card?

Yes. But only the first time it will format your sd card. That is when u r partitioning it using CWM.
After that no mather how many different roms u flash, that partition will remain.

[TUT]How to Create Partition in SDcard/MicroSD for Windows user

hello guys,
i wanna share to you guys how to make a partition in external sdcard/MicroSD for Windows user. Dunno if this already post in XDA, didn't do a research
just to remind, do this with your own risk!
now, what we need :
1. PC/Laptop
2. microsd/sdcard with capacity 2gb/4gb/8gb/16gb/32gb
3. microsd adapter or card reader.
4. Minitool Partition Wizard http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
there's another tool called gparted but this tut only use Minitool Partition
5. a ciggy and a cup of coffee
before we go through, don't do this while you're drunk, so sleepy or in hurry..
now, i assume that the minitool partition already installed on your pc/laptop and the sdcard is empty.
let's begin....
1. put your sdcard into adapter or card reader
2. open the minitool partition wizard software.(pic 1)
3. right click in sdcard (pic 2--i use 8Gb) and click delete. after that your sdcard will look like pic 2-1 as "unallocated" (becareful to choose the drive!!)
4. right click and click create (pic 3)
5. in create new partition choose "primary" (dont use logical) and change the "file system" to "Fat32".(pic 4 & pic 4-1)
6. in partition size you change to what you need. if you want to swap 1gb then change the "partition size" make your "unallocated space after" to 1024mb(pic 4-2).
(i dunno exactly the space that fit with but i use 1gb, if you dont know either you can ask to our dev or mr. pep) after that click ok
7. now you can see the 1gb seen as unallocated(pic 4-3)
8. right click and click create again at the unallocated(1gb) will be a warning that "the new created partition cannot b used in windows" click "yes" (pic 5)
9. now change the "logical" to "primary" (if you choose logical then your phone will probably got a black screen or black screen with battery icon+lock icon after you flash a new cusrom) (pic 6)
10. Change the NTFS to ext2/ext3/ext4 (if you want to install link2sd/s2e from market you can choose ext2 and/or ext4, for me i choose ext4 because i use s2e) and click ok. (pic 6-1)
now there are 3 operations pending in the left side (pic 6-2)
11. click "apply" and "yes". (pic 6-3)
12. now take your ciggy and drink your coffee and wait 1-2 minute untill the successfull pop up then click ok(pic 6-4). close minitool program.
- this ext* will not shown on windows, only on linux base OS.(you can see it on Windows by using some software, i.e : linux reader or raise data recovery, etc)
- use sdcard adapter/card reader
- if you wanna move your app just use link2sd or s2e free on market.
- in this tut i use ext4 just for example to you guys if you choose s2e, but it is not a must for you to choose ext4,.for faster read/write sd choose ext2(see post 2 by pep)
this is just a tutorial for those who dont know and dont understand how to make partition/swap and for those who dont want to swap the phone's internal<-->external. do this before go to Pristine Method
swap thing is too risky for class4 microsd,
credits to :
- minitool partition wizard (useful tools)

Great tutorial!
If I may, I'd like to add some tips:
When making the very first partition (from an empty-card condition), make sure:
It's Aligned to MB instead of Cylinder
There's a 1 MB 'gap' in front of the partition
Also, make sure that all partitions' sizes (in sectors) are divisible by 256 (or, in other words, the partition size is a multiple of 128 KiB).
.
The reason for this is that some SD cards allocate their storage capacity in 'blocks', and the largest known block size is 128 KiB (128 * 1024 bytes). 256 sectors = 128 KiB. By ensuring that all partitions' sizes are divisible by 256, you are ensuring that no block is split between two partitions, thus keeping performance high (as the SD card no longer need to read a block and perform a seek just to find the beginning of a partition), and help lengthening the life of your SD card.
.
(Other SD cards might have smaller block sizes, but all a binary fraction of 128 KiB, i.e., 64 KiB or 32 KiB or 16 KiB or 8 KiB or 4 KiB. Thus, if partitions are multiples of 128 KiB, they are certainly multiples of the smaller block sizes.)
To ensure that partitions are divisible by 256, just before you click on the "Apply" button, do the following for each partition created:
Right-click on the partition
Choose Properties (the bottom option)
Click on "Partition Info" tab
The size of partition (in sectors) is "Last Physical Sector" - "First Physical Sector" + 1
For example, in my case (see the attached image), the "Last Physical Sector" is 29003775, while the "First Physical Sector" is 2048. Thus, the size of the partition is 29003775 - 2048 + 1 = 29001728. Divide 29001728 by 256 and you have the nice integer value of 113288, meaning that the partition is an exact multiple of 128 KiB.
As for the filesystem type for the second partition, I myself prefer ext2 because I reasoned:
This is an SD Card; employing journaling (implemented by ext3 / ext4) will result in too much writing -- shortening SD Card life
Writes are (nearly) instantaneous anyways; journaling are helpful if writes take some time to finish (e.g., writing to a spinning disk, which needs the track-seek and sector-seek plus track-shift plus ECC generation)
The only way a write to SD Card can get interrupted is if power was removed immediately. Aside from dropping your phone and inadvertently ejecting the battery (in which case, SD Card corruption should be the least of your concern), smartphones can't suddenly lose power. When power gets too low, Android performs an orderly shutdown ensuring that all buffers are flushed
ext2 code in the kernel is simple, making reads & writes faster, and less intrusive to foreground apps (no need to generate/manipulate a checksummed journal)

thank you bro for rhe additional tips..i forget bout that.. that'very useful for us.
yes, ext2 is better to choose..
i use ext4 because i install s2e not link2sd..and sometimes ext2 cannot be read by s2e but it's not a must for everbody to use ext4..

did you swap your internal sd-external sd after partition to ext4 and using the app(i.e link2sd or s2e)?
what apps that you use to swap?link2sd or s2e?what app tools (beside those two app) that you use?
it wont get hardbrick if you follow the tut carefully,,
i do this with my 4 microsdcards, 2microsd with size 8gb, 1microsd with size 4gb and 1microsd with size 16gb and all of it just class4.
i use this method since 2011.
this tut will not hardbrick your phone.

Hi stpdkid.
Okay,I've got a 32gb class 10 SD card.
I tried doing the partition last night.
It the SD card which I had been using on my Xperia Arc for nearly a year so you can imagine the amount of garbage on it.
Copied everything to my PC and went ahead with the partition.
First partition Primary/ Fat32/9gb
Second partition also named as Primary/Ext2/21gb.
Done.
Copied my files back onto the sdcard and inserted it back into my device which only recognized the 9gb.
Used link2sd and it reads only the first partition of the sdcard.
I think I did everything correctly.But why is it that I'm missing the 21gb?
Should I have named it as NTFS/Ext2/21gb?

you're missing the 21gb because you use it as ext2..change it as fat32 and the 9gb as ext2..

So to do this just run the partition wizard and edit the partitions?
And setting both to Primary is not a problem?

Done.
But there's still something which is not right.

what do you mean something's not right?

I'm sure I did not create one partition for cache.Yet its there.
Moreover,the cache has been building up progressively and I had been unable to clear it with link2sd.Neither via CWM Recovery.

You mean, using your phone as an SD Card reader?
You can't. Your phone exposes the first partition to the PC. The PC doesn't have access to the all-important partition table.
