i still dunno what is the benefit of creating EXT .. and which thread can let me refer to ?and before create EXT what should i do ? backup ?
If you want to use Apps2SD(+) you need an ext partition.
Making a backup first is recommended.

Check out my post here.
Benefits are increased space on your phone, and for many roms, increased speed.
Enjoy.

1) Where did ya find a class 10 card?!?!?!?
2) Straight partition, yup.
As for Swap, read my post. Not needed anymore. Desire is too fast, no need for swap anymore, as it would slow down your device at best.
im from malaysia .. someone selling kingmax microsd 8gb for rm 80 .. htc desire using micro sd rite ?
My girlfriend got the HTC Wildfire S for MetroPCS a couple of weeks ago. It is a nice phone except for one little problem: The internal memory is crap. She has exactly 5 apps installed, all are moved to SD, and she has 7.14 MB or internal memory free. It is running the stock 2.3 Rom rooted. I need some help figuring out what to do. Before you guys make suggestions let me list what I have already done:
1. S-OFF and rooted, removed all bloatware, which moved it from 3.21 MB to 8 MB which seems like BS because a few of those apps were about 6 MB in size.
2. Moved apps to SD card partially in the applications menu in settings.
3. Cleaned caches
4. Uninstalled almost every application.
This is very frustrating because she cant update apps, she cant download apps, and it is frustrating because I have the old Huawei Ascend on CM7 and I have more apps and am faster than her phone, its ridiculous, I also wonder why after removing over 60MB or crap and bloatware it freed up about 7MB. Makes no sense. I don't want to do DT's app2sd script yet because she doesn't have a way to back up her stuff before the partition of the SD card. If anyone can explain another way or something I can do to fix this please..... It would be greatly appreciated.
Use Partition Wizard Home (Free) to resize your FAT32 partition and create your Ext(whatever your kernel supports) partition on a windows machine.
No need to back up. Doesn't destroy partitions.
My preference is Link2SD free from the market.
You can mass move your apps, dalvik cache and library files to the Ext(Probably Ext2 with stock rom kernel) from the SD card and internal to your Ext partition very easy.
Also you can set it up to auto do this when new apps are installed and choose which apps you want to keep fully internal for faster booting, startup, etc.

Is this the same question from two different people or one person logged on as two different people?
If your card is corrupt and can't be read try a program like Recuva on the PC (free) to get your files from it.

Format it in windows using the partition software I mentioned and make sure it is:
1/ Fat32
2/ A Primary not a Logical partition
3/ Make it the Active partition

Choose EXT3
Sorry for the double post but you have to be rooted from what I understand. There is also a script or application that you have to use to move the apps and you MUST be rooted.
thanks much I kind if figured that now sorry for wasting your time guess I should I read more or some thing
It's no problem good luck!
I have had good luck with this

hey guys .. can anyone help me to find a way to let my samsung install aps directly to extSdCard ? cuz my internal memory is getting full !!
i tried many applications that move s applications from a memoy to another but it dint work with me </3
so .. please if there is anyway to do that .. HELP!!
I've heard that in older phones you could use an ext3 partition on your sd card in addition to the normal fat32 partition, and then use link2sd to move parts of apps to the ext3 partition, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it with an s3. Search around for link2sd and try it out if you want/can. I've been considering testing it with an extra card I have, just haven't gotten around to it.

You must have the 16gb version? Exactly why I got the 32gb, you can't choose where to install or move apps like you used to be able to do. I do hope they come out with a workaround though for all the 16gb'ers. The whole "but it has a microSD slot" deal is BS since you can really only use it for camera, music, and video file storage.
Move big apps to external SD. Search on directorybind in these forums.

Hi all,
I am thinking of getting an Arc S as they are priced well atm but worried about the 1gb space.
I read about Link 2 SD letting you install all apps to the memory card after rooting the phone and formatting the SD card in EXT format.
BUT does this work with the factory ICS rom or does it have to be one from here? also whats the max space the new EXT can be?
Thanks
Tom

Link2SD should work with any ROM
Yeah but i think it also need a kernel that supports ext, so i guess no stock (and yes unlock bootloader)
I dont know how much space you can set, but im currently using 2 GB and no problem so far.
