ext4 should work but you wont be able to backup your SD-EXT using clockworkmod recovery.
First backup your apps using titatinum backup,boot into recovery mode=>mounts and storage=>format sd-ext.This will format your partition to ext2.
then restart and restore your apps.

If you made your partition using CWM then it is ext2 and not ext4 .
Please check your partition type by connecting your device to your PC and opening a partition manager which recognizes ext partitions.you will see that your SD Card is split into 2 partitions
FAT32 and EXT2.(You dont need to check if you trust my word )
You can safely use my ROM because your are using EXT2 and not EXT4.

whaaat... 1512 in quadrant... impressive

After I did that my tablet rebooted and was unable to boot. Guess it's stupid to try to convert the ext2 partition when it is in use? Well how do I do it then?

it doesnt work... my quadrant score still stuck <1000 and even worst....

High quadrant score in the screen-shots is based on high CPU and high IO score so I would guess these tweaks would be highly dependent on sd card speed to get higher scores unless there is some swapping to ram going on to "fake" these IO speeds. I've read something about that while checking out data2sd > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852219
@googlehome: What brand and type of sd card are you using ? I'm very curious because I'm looking for the best one possible for our device.

Im using a class 2 (not the best)16gb SD Card.You can create an ext3 partition with gparted from your PC.Im using ext3 currently

Thank you every much googlehome. Thank you. Thank you.
But i'm still can't play youtube HQ.
sorry for my weak english...

By the way, Wi-Fi is not working on my device with this ROM, just like it's not working with Amalgation's EUViewPad. It is, however, working with CleanViewPad ROM. I have HWVer 103.

Some of my impressions.
Wifi works on my Viewpad 7 HWV 1.03. Tle launcher is notably slower than the stock one. There is no email application and I don't know how to send and receive emails. It is not good as emails are very basic tablet function for me.
I am really courious how to "revive" icons from Dock "thrown" in the recycle bin?
Everything else is OK. One of my Quadrant scores was 1045.

Data to sd with dalvik-cache to ram for sga

There are a lot of ways of moving /data to SD ext(2nd) partition. Here I'll show you an easy way to do it which is fully compatible with Samsung Galaxy ACE(and possibly other devices as well). If you don't like the method used here, try other Data2SD/ext mod which may suit your needs.
Why move dalvik-cache to RAM? Basically, the idea of moving the whole /data partition to SD ext partition is to primarily get more space for installing apps. And in this case, it does perform very well and combined with fast SD cards, it could even provide real-life performance boost. Now the downside to this, is that while most /data contents just get copied and read not that much often, dalvik-cache stores some info that needs to be read and updated very frequently. This results in a high I/O read/write frequency and thus results in shortening of the SD card life(in theory, the same could also be said when left internally but this time dealing damage to the nand disk instead). To counter this, the method I used is to move dalvik-cache to a virtual-disk like partition known as a tmpfs. tmpfs resides in RAM and has dynamic resizing structure which can allocate space depending on your needs. This way, dalvik-cache won't be using any physical disk and therefore causing damage to none. Almost too good to be true right? Well the drawback is, because tmpfs resides in RAM anything written onto it get's lost when rebooted or in-case of power loss thus resulting in loooong boot times(depending on the apps installed), as dalvik-cache contents are being rebuilt on every boot. Well I think that's enough of dalvik-cache and lets start with the mod.
WARNING
USING A NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD ROM OR SIMPLY UNINSTALLING NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD IS STRICTLY RECOMMENDED
DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY FORM OF NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD INSTALLED
ALWAYS PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING OUT STUFF LIKE THESE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad happening in the world blah blah, you know the drill!
Put the files of Data2SD_for_SGA.zip inside the corresponding places on your phone manually.
system/bin/e2fsck
system/xbin/busybox_d2sd
system/etc/install-recovery.sh
--------------------------------------
Basic Requirements
1. Fresh ROM
2. Rooted
3. No A2SD, No App2SD, No Link2SD
4. SD Card Partioned to Ext2 and Fat32
5. SD Card must be original (NOT Class A) as much as possible Class 4 and up.
6. Make sure that your SD Card is partitioned accordingly. Just like how you did when using link2sd.
7. Previous link2sd users need not partition your SD Card. Just format the EXT2 partition.
Steps
1. Flash DXKC1 ROM in your phone
2. Partition your SD Card with EXT2 (first) then the remaining FAT32
3. Root your phone with SuperOneClick then reboot
4. Before inserting the SD Card remove .android_secure, Android and LOST.DIR folders. And make sure that EXT2 is clean
5. Copy the extracted Data2SD_for_SGA.zip on your SD Card
6. Install Root Explorer on your phone
7. Copy the files from the extracted Data2SD_for_SGA.zip to your phone using root explorer
system/bin/e2fsck
system/xbin/busybox_d2sd
system/etc/install-recovery.sh
8. After successfully copying the files, reboot phone.
9. Turn on phone and wait. The initialization might take some time depending on the speed of read/write of your sdcard.
10. If errors has been encountered, REPEAT THE STEPS FROM STEP 1.

Hi, it tried 3 times and it's not working for sga.
Would that work also on GingerBread? AFAIK automount scripts make SGA reboot as per Link2SD issue.
@mastrone -> Link2SD and Data2SD is a different thing.. But both won't work on Gingerbread because install-recovery.sh is quoted inside init.rc
@roninxt -> worked for me... i am using DXKC1 ROM...

I'm also using that rom. But i didn't flash to a fresh rom. I had a Link2sd installation before and i followed the steps. I also uninstalled Link2sd.
Can someone explain why do we need a fresh rom?

When you have an applications installed before putting data2sd in its place... Some or most of the application will result to FORCE CLOSE... That's the reason why it should be applied on a FRESH ROM.
I experienced it before when i got excited on applying Data2SD having 200 apps installed... The result, i got FORCE CLOSES on most of my applications.
But you can still try it out on a currently running ROM in your phone, make sure that you have no a2sd, app2sd or link2sd installed..
Change the title
please specify this for GINGERBREAD or FROYO

Basically to avoid/minimize errors with conflicting mods prior to this mod. If you're an advanced user(or something like that) you probably know what you're doing already so fresh ROM install is not necessary but still recommended.
@tazz811
Nice work man, I'm assuming that the current custom ROM available for SGA does not have init.d support as of now and that's why you placed the script inside the install-recovery.sh script. Well, this might sound useless but, why not make install-recovery.sh call any scripts from init.d? Maybe something like:
Code:
list=`ls /system/etc/init.d/*`
for k in $list
do
sh $k
done
this way, you can run the data2sd script from init.d which will then make it easier to make modifications as well as allow other scripts to run on init.d.
@Ungaze... Thanks for the idea... You owe all the credits... It's me LTGB
list=`ls /system/etc/init.d/*`

No.. It's not working on a rooted Gingerbread ROM (Stock or Villain ROM). The init.rc is kinda secured even if you unquote install-recovery.sh it will revert back to the original state. Therefore install-recovery.sh will not be executed during boot time.

working on it! thanks man. TCP rules
Ok i got it to work. I have about a couple of apps installed about 10 and i was successful running the script. I uninstalled all my other apps. I didn't encounter force closes. So yes i can confirm that d2sd will work even on an existing sga rom. But you need to uninstall most apps including big ones as this might lead to a force close.
not work on my SGA,install from fresh rom dxkc1

[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for X10 Mini Pro - 3.2.0.0-r3

First, I need to say that this was not made by me!, all credits go to nobodyAtall, I just changed chargemon to make it work on mini pro, all roms, Please read original post here for more info
This is the latest ClockworkMod Recovery (v.3.2.0.0) ported to work on X10 mini pro
Introduction
ClockworkMod Recovery is the default recovery option by the CyanogenMod, it has several additional features over plain old xRecovery and uses Edify exclusively:
CyanogenMod said:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Despite the non-support for Amend scripts, it's the future of Recoveries and cooks should get used to this kind of scripting when making their zips.
Update:
CWM 3.2.0.0-r3 introduces two new features that validate and restore the currently installed recovery and it's deps before reboot / shutdown. If the current recovery doesn't appear to be correct, it will prompt for a recovery restore option that at least guarantees that the phone can boot into recovery. This is NOT:
- a way to make any ROM that you installed boot
- an idiot proof mechanism (e.g. if you are prompted and omit restoring, you are on your own)
Features
ADB root shell
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard

Ext Size (formatting as ext4)
Swap Size (Set this to 0)
Rest Size is for vfat

Usage
When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' letters appear, press and release continuously the 'back' button.
Once you are in the CW recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' or camera button key to select, the 'back' key to go back.
Requirements
Working on any ROM .. Unified chargemon (For stock last version supported it's 2.1.1.A.0.6!, if you have newer, downgrade, don't working for stock 1.6)
Busybox from the market
Root
Installation
Install through CWM recovery (sorry no more support for xRecovery)

[Multiboot] [Update 14/6/11] Create, manage and boot your ROM options via CWM!

Introduction
This thread describes an experimental mod that allows you to boot into other boot images stored in your sdcard. It's a good reason for users to upgrade to CWM recovery since it allows for much more extended functionality. It's also another good reason for devs to support CWM recovery.
Our 'petit' X10mini does not have enough internal memory to store more than one android image, thus we have to use the sdcard for this.
WARNING:
This mod is experimental, and for advanced users only. Use it at your own risk
Requirements (READ THEM CAREFULLY):
- CWM recovery pre-installed
- You need a FAST enough sdcard. I'd suggest not using this mod if your sdcard is less than Class 6
- Your sdcard should have enough free space. Each 'boot option' that you create reserves 400MB of space in your sdcard
- In order to create a new boot option, you need a flashable zip of the ROM you wish to boot to, as well as a patch for it's ramdisk.tar (if this is a custom ROM, stock ROMs don't need this). The flashable zip of the ROM is the same that is used for usual ROM installation. The patch should be provided by the ROM's cook.
Instructions for devs only
To create a bootable image, you have two options:
- Make use of CWM recovery (which can create boot images from update.zip) and provide a patch for your ROM that makes sure: app2sd is disabled, ramdisk.tar does not mount mtd* partitions under /system, /data, or /cache. This patch is also flashable via the new multiboot menu of CWM. If you need more info, see the attached MiniCM7-multiboot.zip
OR
- Manually create ext2 system.img, data.img and cache.img for users to push under /sdcard/clockworkmod/multiboot/<name>/
Multiboot mod Installation
- Flash the attached CWM multiboot zip via CWM
Multiboot ROM Installation
The following scenario is provided as a proof of concept in order to install MiniCM7 as a boot from sdcard option
- Reboot into the new recovery and navigate to the new 'multiboot' menu. There you'll see the following options:
Select default boot option
Unset default boot option
Create boot option from zip
Delete existing boot option
Flash zip to boot option
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Select multiboot->Create boot option from zip and then pick the MiniCM7 flashable zip (which you can find in the MiniCM7 thread). Be patient, this step reserves the space and flashes the selected zip to the system.img in the sdcard
- Select multiboot->Flash zip to boot option, pick your newly created boot option and then pick the MiniCM7-multiboot.zip. This will flash the patch needed for MiniCM7 in order to make it run from sdcard. You can use this option in order to flash any zip you want to any of the boot options you have already created
- Select multiboot->Select default boot option and pick your newly created boot option
- Reboot (first boot will take some time depending on your sdcard speed).
To verify you have booted to your newly created boot option, check 'adb shell mount', it should say that /system /data and /cache is mounted from /loop* devices and not from mtd*
Uninstall
- Practically, if you flash a ROM image it will revert CWM / chargemon to its original state. There is not problem in keeping this CWM / chargemon version though.
- To revert booting from your phone's memory instead of the sdcard, navigate to multiboot->Unset default boot option
- To remove installed boot options, navigate to multiboot->Delete existing boot option and pick you choice. Alternatively remove the boot option you want from /sdcard/clockworkmod/multiboot/
Disclaimer:
I can't be held responsible if this mod bricks your device / trashes your sdcard or makes it explode in your hands! Use it at your own risk!
​
wao great experiment NAA,
perfect time to install stock 2.1 and miniCM7
Damn, Great job nAa! My sdcard is lower than Class 6 (I am still using the stock 2GB sdcard!!) so I can't try this one. Waiting for other people's opinion about this.
Great work! =)
A class 4 sd is good?

IMHO, stock 2.1 should be installed as a 'multiboot option' and MiniCM7 in the internal phone's memory - not the other way round.
I'm hoping some dev could chip in with an update.zip for a stock 2.1 ROM that can be installed as a multiboot option
Damn, where the f**k is the "Thanks" button in tapatalk!?
Another great addition mate! Thank you for giving us, mods that other devices hadn't even dreamed of!

why?
can I use this step below?
- backup my stock in recovery
- copy the backup file to multiboot folder

No you can't do that.
You need to install the boot option from an update.zip.
Already created backups have a different fs type that can't be mounted seperately.
Does it works with miniCM6?
Hello nobodyAtall, can we install CM7 and CM6 in this multiboot? if yes how to do that? ( I have cm7 2.0.2 installed ) Thanks

10Q !!! We'll be waiting for it
Going to try to boot CM7 on my CM6. Going to post results a bit later.
Thank you nobodyAtAll for another magnificent tool!
edit: Well, no harm for my device but no CM7 either. Tool created IMG's to my sdcard but doesn't boot from there.
Speechless with just a big smile in my face!!!
Thanks nobotyatall for this it's all you mate!!

just shifted to optimus 2x as my main device but decided to keep my Mini for my daughter and guess what (for nAa's absolute marvels) to keep my tweaking going on.
Great achievement nAa for that. you have made this small device a great value. addition. Thanks to you for that.

[Encrypt] [Update 13/7/11] Encrypt yout personal data via CWM!

Introduction
This thread describes an experimental mod that allows you to encrypt your personal data (/data partition) on your phone.
This can make sure that no 'unauthorized' user can take your phone and view your data. It is NOT an anti-theft mechanism, but will protect your personal information in case you lose your phone (provided that the password is not easily recoverable).
This mod should work for X10mini / X10minipro / X8
WARNING:
This mod is experimental, for advanced users and security paranoics only. Use it at your own risk
Requirements:
- CWM recovery pre-installed
- Custom MiniCM7 ROM (should work on any custom ROM - I have not tested others). Will NOT work on stock ROMs.
- At least 200MB of free space in your sdcard
Encryption mod Installation
- Flash the attached CWM multiboot zip via CWM
Encrypting your /data
This mod allows for easily migrating your existing /data contents to the encrypted partition. To do so boot into CWM recovery:
- backup and restore -> backup
- encrypt -> Encrypt - migrate /data -> Yes
- Use the keypad to enter your password. To navigate, use the Vol up/down buttons for up/down, the menu/back buttons for left/right, the home button to select a letter, the camera button for backspace and the power button to verify that you are done.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This process will take 5 - 10 minutes, be patient.
Once finished, to verify that the migration was successful, select:
- encrypt -> Mount encrypted /data
This should ask you for the password you used and if successful, it should mount the encrypted partition under /data-enc.
$ adb shell mount
should give you this line among others:
/dev/mapper/data-enc on /data-enc type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue)
which means that your private files can now be accessed under /data-enc.
When done, use:
- encrypt -> Umount encrypted /data to unmount
To update your password, use:
- encrypt -> Change encryption password
This will prompt for a password three times: the first one is for the existing password. The second and third should match and this is the new password.
Booting your phone
When booting your phone you are prompted with the keypad to insert your password. Unless the correct one is provided, you cannot continue booting.
Uninstall
- Boot into CWM and format your /data partition.
- mount the /system partition via CWM and use the following command to avoid getting asked for a password at boot:
- adb shell mv /system/bin/ramdisk.tar.bak /system/bin/ramdisk.tar
Thanks to:

Let me rephrase : if you forget your password you can't expect to be able to get your data back. That's the whole point of encrypting them. Sure you can get in recovery and format, as already described in the first post.

First multiboot, now data encryption. X10 mini is such a geeky device after all!
Thank again, D_d
What encryption algorithm is used?
P.S. I tried to encrypt MiniCM6-1.0.2, phone is much slower to work.

It's using aes-plain encryption. Practically you need a weak password if you wanna crack this
I'm using it on MiniCM7 without any noticeable performance degradation.

Maybe I was wrong... I tried test speed at the application SemcCamera (gallery) - it did not work correctly after installing encryption. Deinstal apk... =)
The overall rate of the entire system is good. Sorry for previous post!

It uses a encrypted loop device formatted as ext2 which is stored in the phone's [email protected] partition.
Hmm, intresting. Do you think this would work on the x10 mini pro? - If possible with the HW keyboard?
Great work nobodyAtall!!
just a question, can you do to work on x8? this and multiboot too?
thanks..

Need help restoring encrypted partition..
Hmm, I might've done something stupid and thought I'd ask for help.
I used MiniCM7 2.0.5 w/ encryption, then I chose to update to 2.0.6.. and when I reboot it seems I lost everything stored on /data/ (i.e. I'm not asked to decrypt anything and when I boot into CM7 nothing is there). I assume the encrypted data is still somewhere, but how can I tell CWM/miniCM7 2.0.6 to decrypt this into /data/ before boot?
Hi there.
You should copy your ramdisk from your MiniCM7-2.0.5 backup to your current installation. To do this, restore to your previous version, copy the /system/bin/ramdisk.tar file to your sdcard and once you upgrade to the latest version copy it back again. If all goes well, in next reboot you should be prompted with the password input screen.

Hmm, I can't seem to get this to work;
I tried to update to MiniCM2.0.7 (from 2.0.6) by the method below, but it just reboots without my settings (and w/o asking for password).
I also tried mounting the encrypted /data in CWM (encrypt submenu) before flashing the update.
Can you tell me the proper way to update an encrypted MiniCM? I fail miserably
Also, I can't seem to uninstall Encrypt as per the guide in the first post, at least not while keeping my apps and settings. Is this not possible? (Since the first step is to format /data I'm thinking it isn't?)
Thanks for the help and your great development!

Install and Configure a2sdgui on ROM's CyanogenMod

Install and Configure a2sdgui ROM's CyanogenMod
Hello fellow good here I leave this tutorial hos to use a2sdgui based on CyanogenMod ROMs, as these ROMs do not include this system and its installation is different from a stock rom; a2sdgui is an app that allows us to extend the internal memory the mobile to have more space to install apps, this is accomplished by configuring two aspects: SD memory partition and installing a script called darktremor a2sdgui, well initiate:
THE WHOLE PROCESS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS IN MOBILE IF YOU DO EVERYTHING AS SHOWN TO WORK ALL YOU ASSURE THAT CORRECTLY
RECOMMENDED TO DO BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOBILE APPS
Requirements:
- ROM based CyanogenMod 7.1 or 7.2
- Install a2sdgui (DOWNLOAD FROM THE MARKET)
- Script darktremor a2sdgui 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 (Download)
- SD card partitioned
Instructions:
1. - Install a2sdgui
2. - MicroSD Memory Partitioning:
First download the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
http://download.cnet.com/Partition-W...=dl&tag=button
Once installed, we put our SD on the PC (with a reader, adapter or anything like that) and open the program.
If you already have some partitions it is recommended that if we start from 0 erase all as shown.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After deleting all now begin creating them.
We give and we get this Edit menu and the first is FAT32.
We have to make FAT32 and Primary, we assign space is relative, I having 8GB (class 6) I put all but 1.5 will be for ext4 and swap.
Now for the ext4 partition, select PRIMARY. Now the partition type is relative, it is recommended that if your card is less than 6 class partition is ext2. If Class 6 or more ext4. That and I leave to your judgment, in my case I assign 1 GB will be to host the apps as if they were in the internal memory.
Now we use the remaining space for the swap partition (PRIMARY), in my case 500 Mb RAM With this more of our ACE will have 800 MB of Ram (the swap partition is a partition that is used like RAM, it is so important!)
APPLY Now we give and we get this message should accept and the thing to end as you see in the two screenshots below.
Partitions that I recommend are:
3. - Restart the phone in recovery mode
4. - Scroll to and select mounts & storage mount / data and mount / system
5. - Made the above should be unmount / data and unmount / system
6. - Now return to the main menu of recovery
7. - Enter to install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard>-2.7.5.3-beta04 dtapps2sd-signed.zip
8. - Restart the phone, when you start DO NOT OPEN OR ANYTHING IN THE MOBILE, the mobile just restart again, it is NORMAL not alarmed.
9. After reboot, enter A2SDGUI. On the menu that appears in the display of APPS on SD are expected to be active and SWAP may also, in case this is not no more to give up and active. At the end of the menu is the VALUE SET 0-100, I got 100 and I gave the side.
10. - Now we turn to LowMen directly and I have chosen this, to me is the one that best suits me. The option below elijais leave more free memory, it is better but in my case having 800 mb is fine for me up there.
11. - Now let's Dalvik-Cache and choose it and click Move & Rebuild and phone will reboot.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO END MUCH MEMORY FREE AND ESPECIALLY A lot of RAM! ENJOY!

I haven't used s2e, so i can't give you a description of, but i can say that the main difference between links2sd and app2sdgui is that meanwhile the first only moves the apps to the sd (even those that aren't allowed to by the os), app2sdgui "cheat" Android to "think" that it have more internal memory, but really it's just part of your sdcard.
Hope you'd understood me

I think you guys didn't understood me; I'm on the stocklite v3, and it's a custom rom with DT scripts installed. Anyway I'll take a look over that threads ;-)
EDIT:
Haha, i've messed it up!
I don't know why or how, but now i have the app2sdgui running, but....also i had runngin link2sd, and several apps linked. Now i have a lot of "andro-boxes" (linked apps that are, seems, not readable) in my phone, a sdcard partitioned and a lot of information blocked.
I'm trying to create the mount scripts on link2sd to unmake the links, and start using app2sdgui, but link2sd can't because "device or resource busy"
