Thats very easy... If you want to change your android version follow my step-by-step to install:
1st - download and run it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136 - to root and install xrec on your phone.
2nd - download your rom
3rd - make a backup using xrec
4th - choose install custom zip and select zip from sd card
5th - wait
6th - reboot
7th - configure
8th - Thats ready to ROCK with custom roms!!!
But if you want a dual boot you need to know how to do it, or installing CyanoComb which comes with, and you need a very good SD card, for example a SDHC 16Gb Class 6 or Class 10. I'm going buy a Class 10 and i will say what tests results.
Btw, I hope I helped you
Thanks for your complete instruction dude
So in order to install GinTonic.Se , there is no need for an ext2/3/4 partition?
Thanks again

Youre completely alright, you only need a partition if you want to use Link2Sd on 2.1 roms
x10 mini pro
Hi,
Thank's a lot for your site,
Any way,
Trying to install a new rom in my son's old x10 mini pro cellphone
I CAN'T find any file from the links in the forums.
Maybe they are old and so removed from the servers.
Could you please suggest me any link for
gintonic last version
minicm7 pro and if
any other
thank you
in advance.
Hello to everyone. i want to ask some questions about ext3/4 fat32 app2sd and so on. i am using a gb custom rom on my mini and i use the app2sd app from the market. i partition my sd with fat and ext4. i also know that we can move apps in fat without having any partition (correct me if i am wrong). the question is what i earn by partitioning my sd to ext3/4? do i get some extra performance?
also i mention that in cyanogenmod settings there is an option where we can select it and says ''allow moving apps to external storage'' what exactly these option do?
thank you and sorry for the bad english.
ext4 is the newest format, but it`s not compatible with all roms, fat32 otherwise is compatible with all roms.(no errors) some costum roms have the app to sd integrated, so you don`t have to install the app, you should find this in the changelog of the rom. i hope i could answer some questions
it's not exactly what i want to know but honestly thank you for the answer
I`m sorry to hear that
I found this very interesting thread about ext3/4 an fat 32:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663454 (from post 4)
I hope this helps
thank you very much my friend

Okie guys...here i come to final thing that i wud love to do on my ace. Probably i ll rest fir few months after that.
I flashed back dxkt5 2.3.6 today.
Installed cf-root b84
Lagfree v2
Converted filesystems to ext4
I am using link2sd app for now with ext4 partition on my sd card.
I heard thar dt a2sd is better than link2sd as it allows to move data as well to sd card. Hence, am planning to enable it as it comes with cf root.
Can anybody plz guide me how to do it with minimal efforts.
By minimal efforts i mean..without having to re install my apps.
If thats unavoidable i m ok with it. But please guide me how to proceed with it.
I am a neebie and hv been trying to understand the things one by one..and i feel this is the last thing which remain untouched by me.
Plz plz help me guys...i promise i wont trouble u after that..if somebody says try google...i hv already done that...but i couldn't make sense out of it...may be because i am a girl. ;-)
Please help.
Thanks.

Dta2sd sucks for me. I had used before. 1 main problem i found ws dat it used to mess up my ext partition. Means, like whenever i tried to install an app, my fone would reboot.

Use S2E.Its better than Link2SD
Even i got to the same conclusion...link2sd is better than a2sd.. Going to stick with it.
-Nisha
Wow...your setting us same like me...just different rom, i use xwks6, convert ext4, cf-root b84, link2sd, lagfreev2, for i/o i use noop, 122mhz min, 806mhz max...

S2E and FreeSpace is even more better for handling SD card ext partition
dont listen to opinions. see my sig below?
opinions wasnt always true and it wasnt a fact. it usually based on personal experience, and your experience might be different than others.
test it yourself and see how it goes. u always got cwm backup if something goes wrong.

Hey guys!
I try this internal memory increase mod and it work my Sony Live With Walkman WT19i CM9.1. This mod posted on XDA Xperia Arc Android Development sub forum. This is only a sharing, I'm not the person who developed this Mod. Developed by "XtremeSilencer"
Installation instructions
1. create a ext partition [ any ext2/3/4 ]
2. put this mod in your sd card
3. Make nandroid backup. (backup and restore>backup)
4. Flash the zip (install zip from sd>choose zip from sd card)
5. after flashing...wipe data/factory reset
6. reboot and enjoy
Download:- http://www.mediafire.com/?y7rblybs7474yyp
I think this mod performances depend on the SD card class. If this work hit the thanks button.
Note! After phone boot up, first few minutes phone slow. After that it OK.

Don't you think that link2sd is better?
It allows you to choose which apps should be stored in phone and which should be moved to sdcard. That really matters because sd-cards are limited in write-read cycles, so moving all apps to sd is not the best idea.
And link2sd is way too simple:
1. Make 2nd partition
2. Install and run link2sd
3. Reboot
4. Move what you want to move

Dead Link...
Can you please add new link, this one id dead.
I want to give it a try, Link2SD is no a solution because the apps still waste internal memory as well...
Thanks

Link2SD wastes the internal memory too. If you have a lot of apps you'll see your memory disappear too
Broken link to download can fix please? Thank you :good:
Here's a link to the original thread, however be warned that the author has been banned (don't know why) and it seems that the script is pretty buggy. I haven't tried it myself but it would be great if theres anything similar that's working.

You can increase you internal by moving all apps (On SD or On Internal Memory) to the second partition on SD card which should be ext2.. And yes "Link2SD" is working very well with me on ICS.. You don't need to unlock your bootloader for such an action.. Use ext2.. X-Parts and recovery is not related to anything of what you will do so don't worry.. I believe that Link2SD is a very good tool.. Use it
I wish I helped you
