I just created an ext4 via CWM 4.0.0.9 and as I insert my sd card on my computer and use a app called minitool partition, I saw my ext4 as ext3 only. Why? I thought CWM creating partition as ext4. weird..
No I think it creates ext 3 partion

If its only creating ext3. Is there any way or application to convert it to ext4?

CWM 4.0.0.9 creates ext3 partition.
If u want, u can use minitool itself to "format" it to ext4 type

U mean wen u install an .apk u get reboots, right? It happens to me a lot of times. D problem is wit d sd ext partition. Reflash d rom & create a backup. When u face the problem again, just restore d backup or go to advanced restore & restore sd ext. U dont have to flash an entire rom.

I have a 4 GO,4Class SD card
I don't think the class really matters in your situation.. because I still have the 2GB stock SD card which means class 2 with 500MB ext4 partition and 64MB swap partition and also I moved the dalvik cache to the SD card and it works for me..

It seems swap partition sometimes causes reboots. It is not adviced to create a swap partition on ace. I've read it in many posts. If u want to free ram, use d allinone script.

I have installed Darktremor's script. It's running Successfully. i have all data , apps , dalvik cache on sd.
I have one question :
When i remove sd card and restart , it starts as normal phone with no apps.... which is obvious coz all my apps were on sd card. But now when i REINSERT my sd card ... it doesnt start normally and all apps Force close ...
any solution ??

i believe removing sd card even with safe removal is not recommended. this is partly why google disabled widget from operating out of sd card altogether (as part of design)
so your solution is to use a usb cable as a workaround.

I think you can use CWM for this. You just need to recreate the extension.

You just boot on CWM then goto Advance. you can see extension configuration options there including the creation.

if I'm not mistaken CWM 4.0.0.9 creates ext2 as far as I can remember.. but i'm pretty sure in 5.0.2.6 it creates ext3 partition..
Okie...I flashed the xwks9 rom using odin last night.also installed cwm,cf-root kernel and converted the filesystem to ext4. Phone is faster than before.
Can you please advise what should I do next. I am not able to use swap. It says command not found. Why?

Hi @nishantmnit...
1. Be carefull using "A2SD" @DarkTremor... many users have reported issues involving various roms (bootloops, Partitions refusing to mount etc.). I use Link2sd too & would recommend no other...
Swap partitions act in the same way as a Pc page file... It is used as a kind of virtual ram... In theory it should speed up data access for apps & the OS but in practice all it does is create additional cpu cycles where the system must move data to & from the partition (swap)... This is additional work load & translates basically to the system running slightly slower not faster as would be expected (unless your cpu is 1ghz +), only then would you see possible benefits...
So in short, the "ACE" does not need a swap partition, it will only slow things down... Stick with Link2sd, move user apps to Ext.3 partition, create symbolic links for system apps (if it allows, not all are allowed) & any apps that cannot be moved to sd normally.
FYI : Use CWM 4/5 recovery mode to format & partition your sd card... When asked choose 0m swap partition & your good...hehe
Hope this hellps dude...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...
Pe"ACE"...
Thanks a lot reaper

Hey @nishantmnit...
Helping is what XDA is all about...
You don't want to move apps to ext.4 as this is internal system memory & would defeat the object of what you are trying to achieve (more free internal memory).
Create mount script for Ext.3 which is your Sd partition... All Dalvik & Lib information will be stored here also as default.
As far as app compatibility after conversion, I do not know...? You could always try to backup apps using "Titanium backup", then restoring them using the same after the file system conversion... sorry I can't help you further with this question... I'll see if any other family member can answer this for you ok...?

One again thanks reaper...but my question was something different.
I am wondering I shud create an ext4 or ext3 partition to be used by link2sd. Hence apps dalvik and lib will reside on this new partition on sdcard not on internal memory.
Currently am using fat partition with link2sd as ext modules were missing prior to flashing cf root kernel.
I still cannot see ext3 module. however, ext4 module is there. I m not sure ext3 ll work or not.
Please advise.

Hi @nishantmnit...
Sorry for the late reply (Family business, New Years eve & all that. ..hehe).
When you run Link2sd it will ask you where to create mount script... If you choose any Ext. other than Ext.3 then Link2sd will return an error... It will only allow you to create a mount script for Ext.3 (which is sd Ext.).
backup your sd root entirely... Use CWM to partition & prepare sd card, Move backup back onto sd root, reboot phone, run Link2sd, choose create mount script on Ext.3, reboot phone, Move apps etc.... All is good...
I don't think you need to see an Ext.3 module as it is an External location not a system location per se & I think Link2sd does the hard work as it must stay in system memory to work correctly... Also keep launchers & themes in memory as moving them can create lag when the system has to access sd partition to recover data for them...
If I am still mis-understanding what you mean then I am at a loss to answer you... (sorry)...

hi.
I am using CyanogenMod 7.2 cooper KANG RC0 Android 2.3.7 by vo-1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360889.
I just bought 8GB sd card class 10, and then make 3 partition in it
1GB ext4
512MB linux swap
the rest is fat32
I flash darktremor script dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed, and install A2SDGUI for moving the application to sd and dalvik to sd-ext.
It just fine, and I can install applications on sd ext card. (my internal memory is only 40MB used with 20 applications).
The problem happen when I restart my ACE, it stuck on 'ANDROID'.
Now I am using S2E application to install application on sd-ext. And I haven't restart my ACE again.
Anybody have the same stuck on 'ANDROID' issue?
edit:
solved (maybe) after re doing partition, with no swap partition.
Just do partition with CWM.
for 2 days usage, no problem anymore.
I never faced any problem like that. In my opinion s2e is better den dta2sd coz u dont hv to take trouble for flashing d script. U just got to have a ext partition.

I found opinion that linux swap partition will make a few trouble.
As I got now, some application is force close. Android market error, when it is in installing process, the ACE is restarting. If I restart my ACE, will get another application force close.
I will erase my linux swap partition and report back tomorrow.

"partition " u mean
u can partition your sd card using cwm 5 ...they are many you tube guides go watch them ...and for installation of apps on sd card why dont u use "S2E" ...its free in the market and compatible ONLY with cm7 ...it saves a lot of internal storage ( move dalvik cache to sd card) cheers
