welll its choice i would any day go for link2sd and ext3 type.
. because urs is a class 4 sd card --- IMP__ext4 mean heavy wear tear=== damged sd card...not recommended for class 4 types.. (get a class 6 or class 10 type ,, )
link2sd == app manger utilty plus links app --- i think u dont need more than 150 apps... link2sd would suffice easily...
s2e moves and regenrates too much of a cache
at last choice is urs..... enjoy..

S2e works only for CM roms. I have a custom rom - Imaginary - and only link2sd works for me..

ill say by personal experience i installed miracle just 6 Days ago , and repartitioned my sd also the thing is , i have tried s2e it works great no doubt but after some time the apps starts to disappear atleast it happened with me ,so i went for link2sd and make sure if you want to use link2sd format in ext3 becoz cwm formats in ext3 when ever you format or install new ROM and, ex4 wont work properly so far i havnt got prob with link2sd and make sure you install link2sd before anything else you install
hope it helps you

If the ROM requires an ext partition, I would strongly suggest getting a Class 4 or better SD card. For what kind of partition, read the instructions for the particular ROM regarding filesystem/size.
Thanks again..
Ok..can u pls tell me which custom rom supports class 2 sd card...and which one doesnt need partition of sd card

This is not a matter of ROM. Class 2 is simply too slow, I would not suggest using with any custom ROM that relies on sd-ext partition. Best case will cause the phone to be slow.
CM7 ......i m using it on class 2 sd card .....
Partition Sdcard:
Partition SD: Partition's sdcard for apps2sd (this formats card so all non backed-up data is lost)
- will create ext2 partition (you will be asked for size of ext2 and cache)
just to clarify things,.the backups made through nandroid will not be erased if i partitioned sd card?

If you partition your SD card all data that was there before will be GONE. (Already written pretty explicitely in the text you quoted.)

Hello!
I searched the forum but found nothnig like my question.
So, now I have 8gb sd card with 512mb ext4 and I'm running SanGingerAce Lite (newest) with darktremor a2sd. I bought a new sd card (16gb) and I'll partition it to 1gb ext4, now my question is, do I have to reinstall darktremor a2sd script or do I just put the new sd card in the phone and everything will work?
And I noticed that on 8gb sd card which I use now, I can not set dalvik cache to sd (says it hasn't got enough space). I partitioned my sd card with mini tool partition wizard in windows. Should I partition the sd card in clockworkmod?
Thank you for your help

I think.
- do like first to enable darktremor
- If you already partitioned sdcard with mini tool in windows you shouldn't partition again with CWM recovery.
- but If you not already partitioned your sdcard you can use partition sdcard in CWM recovery for alternatively.
- before partitioned sdcard, make sure you has backup your files in sdcard.

Press THANK if I helped you.
U dont hv to install a2sd script again. But if u hv moved ur dalvik cache to sd, then rebuilt it on internal memory coz if u remove ur sd card ur fone will go in bootloops.
If u hv partitioned ur SD card on mini tool, then u dont hv to re-partition in CWM.

Guys I ordered a new 8gb SanDisk class 6 card for my O1 so firstly I would like to know the things i should do to shift from my current 2gb card to the new one.
What are these partitions and how can I do that??
Will I have to reflash the rom after putting the new card??
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
If you don't know what the current partitions are, then the original card is probably one big FAT32 partition. Which is probably what the new 8GB one is. If you had partitioned it differently you would know it.
So the short answer is:
power off the phone
remove the card and mount on your PC
copy everything to a folder on your hard drive including .hidden files and dirs*
unmount the 2GB
mount the 8GB
copy back to the card
unmount the 8GB
replace in phone and boot
* you didn't mention what OS your PC is, so I will assume WinDoze

Don't get yourself confused, just copy everything in your 2gb sdcard to your computer, then unmount it. Mount your 8gb sdcard and copy back the files into the sdcard and all is done
There is no need to reflash ROM, and no need to care about partitions etc since u don't use them anyway

for SWAP google Linux Swap, but its basically a paging file for your phone in a linux environment, if you dont know what that is, google lol, but what it does is moves stuff on your Ram to this Swap thing, but android has its own methods, so Swap is only nessesary if you plan playing heavy games, and with apps like SWAPPER2, that you need in order to enable Swap on your phone, it can create a Swap file that just sits on your card, that acts like a partition without the hassle of you actually partioning anything.
EXT- they mean EXT3 or EXT4 which is a linux format, which in android case, you make your sd card into two parts, one the ordinary FAT32 part which is what you current SD card is, and another EXT part, on which with scripts, or even better LINK2SD, you move all your user apps 2, its similar to the APP2SD you use now, but it moves Dalvick cache and libraries, which APP2sd doesnt, so it saves more room on your internal phone memory, as you are actually moving the ENTIRE app to the sd card, say you want to move Angry Birds to SD using APP2SD, you will notice something like 5MB is still left on your internal memory, with LINK2SD it wont be left.
Also EXT partitions can not be seen by windows, so when you mount your phone as external usb drive, you can still use all the apps you moved to SD card, were is you wont be able to do that with APP2SD.
But yes in short EXT partition on your sd card, just splits your physical SD card into 2 virtual SD cards =)

link2sd is better. why?
because link2sd can move the apk, lib, dex, data and cache of the apk to the sd card.
while move2sd can only move apk to to the sd card which still can make your phone memory decrease because of the cache, lix and deb of the apk moved to the sd card are still in phone memory.
here is the best guide i have used the whole time to partitioned my sd card to use link2sd

link2sd runs really great on X-ROM ICS. the best match i've seen in a while. no mounting or not linked problem.

Im on Miracle Edition V4 (which is based on CM7.2)
I use link2sd with second partition ext2.
It works very good.
14mb/117apps
Try ext2 or ext4 dnt try ext3 its makes ur sys so slow..ext2 is used in general n b/w link2sd n s2e i dnt use both..i use amarullz sd to ext for app2sd it keeps dalvik cache to internal memory and moves data to sd ext so perfrmnce wil not degrade like others...
before use link2sd, maybe u should use sd card that have class 10 this much faster for our smart phone
