I don't know about CWM method but you can use Gparted on your PC and do it easily... Search Google for USB Gparted boot..

i try formatting using pc but the ext partition became allocated volume..ok i give it a try..thnx

If you are rooted you could use Link2SD.
But if you want to remove it use official SD Formater 3.1. First backup your existing files from sd

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

For me 256 MB is fine. Then use S2E, for example, to move system apps on sd-card

No, dalvik cache and user apps are better in my opinion

is 512 mb fine ?
and how to configure A2SD
just partition and then move apps to sd ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

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

How do we create a swap memory using internal memory.

Is this possible that we can add a virtual ram using internal memory? Maybe just 256mb. Please share your thoughts on this.

Look here pepoluan's post:

Or you can also do it this way:
1) open terminal emulator
2) create a swap file in /sdcard (internal) 256M size (you can change the size in the count parameter)
$ su
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/.swapfile bs=$((1024*1024)) count=256
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) activate the swap file you just created
$ su
# mkswap /sdcard/.swapfile
# swapon /sdcard/.swapfile
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) check if swap is running
$ free
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please note that swap will be deactivated on reboot, but you only need to do step #3 to activate it again.
To avoid deletion of the .swapfile, chmod to 600

Thanks bro. If we do a pristine install the swap will be lost?

if you wipe you internal sdcard then yes it will be lost. you can even delete it anytime if you want.

Have you tried it? Does it improve performance?

i did, when some games didn't work due to lack of memory.
so, i only use it when i need it.

Better don't use internal memory for it. Because it reduce your memory life and thus it's internal changing it is difficult.

I tried deleting the app, also tried wipe cache and dalvik no luck still my internal and external sd are interchanged. The only way I found to work is to restore nandroid backup that does not include ext to int installed. That is an extreme method
EDIT: K2wl answered this in his ROM thread.....

Eventually we will get the Samsung firmware update that allows apps2sd, but we havent gotten it yet. In the mean time I use Foldermount to move large data folders to the external sd card. For example the large gameloft games usually require the data to be installed on the internal. Will foldermount you can move those large folders (or any other folder) to the external sd and free up a lot of internal memory.

thanks gam3r just need to figure out foldermount and that should solve it. gameloft is just ridiculous, 2 gigs for a game
