So i wanna let this a2sd thingy to work and it says i need busybox. I downloaded busybox from the market and when i launched the app, it tells me to select an install directory on where to install busybox. Here are some install paths :
/system/xbin/
/system/bin/
/sbin/
Custom path

A2sd
After you have created an ext4 partition. (approx 512mb should be enuff) It can be done from recovery or preferably use a card reader.
Goto recovery>Mount system> Flash this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44076842/Android Flash/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip
Download A2sd gui from the market. Goto the second tab. Move dalvik cache to memory card. That should do it.

Well, reboot in recovery -> advanced -> partition (NOTE: EVERYTHING WILL BE ERASED!!! BACKUP IF NEEDED)
Then boot again, go to Link2SD, select ext4 and reboot.
If you can't link then, try menu -> recreate mount script -> ext3
Press thanks!
I know with a2sdgui, it asks for an a2sd script before it's working, I've never used link2sd before, to OP I followed what the guy above me said than downloaded darktremors a2sd zip script than flashed it than used a2sdgui to move apps to sd-ext, zipaligned and moved and rebuilt dalvik cache and it's been working flawlessly for me, but to respect what above user mentioned, whatever works best for you... There's ungaze and darktremor a2sd script on these forums, do the search on goggles for em

Try partitioning it with cwm or format ur second partition in cwm.

i partitioned using cwm only,... and was able to mount and format sd-ext in cwm5

While installing rom people often ask for link2sd or s2e support
As of enabling Dark tremor app2sd is difficult for them....
I did an extensive research and came up successful in using and applying it....
I would like to share it here....
####
Before beginning it is assumed that you have a custom clockwork mod recovery and a custom rom is installed on your device. Alternatively, if you are in a stock firmware/rom and want to partition your sd card please Install Clock Work Mod Recovery and Flash a Custom Rom on your device. Also since partitioning your sd card will erase all your data stored in sd card, it is recommended that you backup your data to your computer. Now that you have backed up your data please follow these simple instructions to partition your sd card and install Darktremor App2sd script on your android smart phone.
PARTITIONING SD CARD
_________________________________
1. Reboot your device into Clockwork Mod Recovery.
2. Go to Advance>>Partition SD Card option on your recovery and select a size (for ext 3 partition). This will create an ext 3 file system partition on your sd card called sd-ext. The size of your sd-ext partition should be determined on the basis of how much apps and games you are going to install on your device.
i have 1 Gb sd-ext on 8 gb memory ...
3. Also, select swap partition size as 0 Mb (select 64 or more for gaming purpose)
4. [Optional] Format your sd-ext from mounts and storage>>fromat /sd-ext option in CWM recovery.
5. Reboot your device and open a terminal emulator or shell commander and type in the following command to make sure that your second partition (aka sd-ext partition) is mounted at boot.
mount | grep sd-ext
You should see the following code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
INSTALLING DTAPPS2SD
___________________________________________
6. Now download Darktremor Apps2SD (link bottom) and copy it to your sdcard.
7. Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.
8. Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip file you downloaded from above.
9. After the script is installed reboot your device.
That’s all. You have successfully installed Darktremor Apps2SD on your device .
Note that the device will reboot again after you reboot your device. This is just to move all your apps to the second partition (sd-ext partition) and is normal.
Also if you want to manage your Apps2SD settings you can either use commands in terminal emulator or download the APPS2SDGUI application from market and manage everything from there. One of the useful command can be a2sd help. Try it on any terminal to see the help file that comes with Darktremor A2SD.
How to check if Apps2SD has been installed correctly...
________________________________________
The following information is for those who are still unsure of whether Apps2SD has been installed and if it is working correctly after root.
Open a Terminal Editor on your phone
When you have the client open, type "su" to gain super user access, and then hit enter. Now type "ls -l /data" and hit enter. You should see a few lines, a couple of which should read on the far right column:
dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
app -> /system/sd/app
Notice the -> indicating symlinks and the 'sd'
You can also run: busybox df -h to check the /system/sd that the folder is being used
If this output is visible to you, then Apps2SD is working properly and you have installed it correctly. You will notice that by checking Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage, there is still some internal memory going down due to cache, other data, etc, but the main apps all go on the SD card given the above result. I currently have 29 apps installed (including Google Earth, which is 22.1 MB in size itself) and my internal memory currently shows 119MB of available space.
You can perform more extensive checks by executing the following command:
ls /system/sd/app (this will list all the apps which you have installed to the SD card)
CONFIGURING APPS2D
_________________________________________________________
open terminal emulator,, and type the following:
• a2sd check : Checks a2sd status; displays information incl. where your apps, cahce and data are stored.
• a2sd cachesd : Moves dalvik cache to sd-ext partition.
• a2sd nocache : Moves dalvik cache back to internal storage.
• a2sd data2sd : Move /data/data to /sd-ext/data .
• a2sd nodata : Move /sd-ext/data back to internal storage.
• a2sd remove : Moves apps back to internal storage and sets no a2sd flag.
or u can simply use app2sdgui to do things.. a help is given in app just proceed on installing the app and go to help menu
PRECAUTIONS: tips you should take in mind
________________________________________
After installing Darktremor Apps2SD don’t move your apps to sdcard either from Manage Applications Settings or by using app2sd pro or similar applications because it will ruin all your settings and your script will not work .
Also you may notice that your used space in internal storage shown in Manage Applications Setting is not decreasing even after you install Apps2SD and you may think that the script is not working. But remember if you followed all the instructions from above and got the same results as explained above then the script is working. It is shown so because system is fooled to believe that the apps are in internal storage but in reality they are stored in the secondary partition we created (i.e. in /sd-ext/app folder) on your device.
HAPPY INSTALLING APP2SD script...

yep it will affect ur sd-card somewhat...the effect is after long duration and for good quality sd-cards is very low......4-6 years time........ as the applications try to continuosly use the data sector on the sd-card..........
BUT ITS practical to use... so dont worry

SORRY to every one who posted a querry,,, was out of xda for months
Well, im finally stay in Rom Stock 2.3.6 and i wanna add internal memory.
Is possible install Cronmod script o use another way to add internal memory on Rom Stock?
Thanks in advance.
First root your device. Then you heve 2 options.
Either use Pimp my rom from google play and add init.d support to your stock. And use whatever script you want.
Or get link2sd from google play. Make ext2 partition in your sd card. And move all user apps to there.

I prefer link2sd, if i am not wrong cronmod lags after 50 or similar prog count. I have over 800 mb prog around 200 in count and with LightSpeed Intervention script my phone is very smooth.

Which format u recommend for partition? and u have a tutorial to partition the SD?
Thanks in advance.
PD : Whats is LightSpeed Intervention script? can install in stock?
You can create partition on microSD card in any ROM I guess. I'm also on 2.3.6 & I've a 1024 Mb partition on my mSD card. All you need Clockworkmod recovery for your device ( you'll find it on google ) & link2sd ( available in PlayStore )
Method :
1. Reboot into Clockworkmod recovery.
2. In CWM, Advanced >> Partition SD card.
3. Once the option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the sd-ext partition as 128,256,512,1024, 2048 ans so on. This will be the size of your first partition where apps are moved using a2sd,link2sd etc.
4. Now you will be given the option to select size of an optional /swap partition on the SD card. If you don’t want a swap partition then select 0.
5. The remaining space will be used for normal SD card usage. When you press ok, the recovery will do the rest for you. It may take a little time so be patient.
* Do Not Forget To Copy All Of Your SD Card Data Cause The Process Gonna Delete Them All.
