Well, I would recommend Link2SD. Pretty much automated and trouble-free.
Note: You need a second partition - ext2/3/4 or FAT32 (not really recommended) on your SD card for this one.

Then move and paste in sd card.

I know I can move apps to SD, its an option by going to manage applications. What I want to know is how can I move all of my apps to ext to save even more internal memory. I'm currently on void forever. I'm not using ungazed or darktremor. I did download S2E from market but it only allows moving of downloading data. I don't want to run my entire phone off of SD just applications. Along time ago about 2 months ago I did set up a partition l. I forgot the specifics but currently I'm using a class 6 8gb card, so I know it was higher than 512mb

There is no way to move all the apps you want to sd in froyo without ungaze&co.
In cyanogenmod you can move every app you want to sd but apps with widgets will cause errors and other apps wich were not designed to be moved to sd will not run 100% correctly.
With ungaze, I flash the zip than what?

Flash the zip then your apps will be moved automatically to your ext partition.
But there's a catch: in time it is possible to damage your sd card because the apps will run directly from the sd wich is not really designed for too much r&w.
Appreciate the help

So in sequence. I flash the rom, do I need to create a ext2 because A2SDgui tells me I don't have an ext2. Ill have to repartition my sdcard, any suggestions for a 8gb sdcard

Errr.. You are confused.
1. S2E does move apps to the ext partition on CM7 based roms.
2. I suppose you want to use ungaze's data2sd based on your previous posts, A2SDGUI doesn't work with that.
3. Yes you require an ext2 partition. Simply use recovery, minitool or gparted.
link2sd is an amazing app I absolutely love it on my vm670 which has so little internal memory.
I have rooted my phone. Installed a custom ROM. Now my sd card is loaded with unwanted things. Wat shoud I do? Copy/paste the openrecovery folder to a comp. Format SD card and then copy that folder back to sd? Or update.zip again?
Anybody?

Just format it normally and paste back.

Thanks, had a similar problem and wanted to know this as well.
Remember to move all apps to phone memory before format.

What about update.zip? It is needed anymore on root of the sd card?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
You can simply delete the update.zip file without any problems.
htc wildfire shows my sd card unavailable
i have formatted my 4gd sd card in pc and used as usb boot for my pc and now i want to use on my htc wildfire but it shows unavailable,but when i remove it it says "removed sd card" but i am not able to use it, and it works fine when using with pc please help me .... thanks in advance.
Thank you!

You need to keep update.zip on root of sdcard. It doesnt enter recovery mode if you not copy it back.

For such stuff, using the Droid Tool is the best way:

Format it with your android phone, or in recovery, not with your PC.
I have been trying to find a way to have everything save on my sd card (the external).
For example, if i download a picture or ringtone from Zedge, it defaults to the internal storage (sdcard).
I want it to download in the external sd card (sdcard2).
Ive read the threads about swapping them but i would really prefer NOT to do it that way.
Anybody out there have a better solution?

I know that you can swap mount points...making your external card the default storage. I don't think there's any other way.
Is there a way to do this without root access, I just want my pinned music in the play music app to download to my sd card instead of internal storage.

I use Gtunes & it lets me choose where I want to download my music to. You might check in the settings & see if it'll let you change the location.
Have you tried settings/storage/storage settings/update all and select sdcard storage?

I know that you can swap mount points but then it just gets too confusing. Especially in TWRP recovery.
I wanted to find a way to do this WITHOUT the swap mount points method.
I think it has something to do with the permissions. But when I try to edit them I keep getting an error message that fails to save permission changes.

How to create ext2 partition???
Sent from my LWW. Cheers, Its Legend, wait for it, DARY!
If u unlock the bootloader,it is much easier to root ur phone without any risk by flashing custom karnel.but u still can root ur phone.but u have to downgrade ur firmware version to .58. Coz .62 firmware is not rootable.

Very simple...if u flash custom karnel then go to cwm and in advance option u can find a option calling partition sd card.just partition ur sd card through it.
Another way is using ur pc with mini partition wizard softwere.its also a easy method.
But remember that by partitioning process the sd card format automatically.so backup ur data first.

Instead of link2sd I suggest Mounts2SD, with that you can move application's data too, not just libs, dalvik and APK. I personally moved everything, except cache and dalvik cache. This way I've got 3GB (ext partition size) "internal storage".

this sounds good. i use link2sd as well and i didn't have any problems with it so far but i'll give mount2sd a try as my internal storage is quite small
