easiest way is
1. go to recovery
2. partition sd card
3. choose the size of ext
4. choose the size of swap
5. reboot
6. done
Dont do demonics way probably bricks ur sd card this is the safest way
1.BACKUP EVERYTHING (JUST IN CASE)
2.download partiition wizard home (free from weebsite google it
3.connect sd card USING SD CARD READER NOT USB CABLE FOR PHONE
4.open pwh
5.choose ur sd card and delete every partition in it
6.creata an partition fat32 (will be regular files like ur music and so)
7.Create a ext3 partition (for apps)
8.click apply
9.copy ur items back to sd card P.S:the ext3 partition is invisible
10.open link2sd and choose ext3 as partition type
11.(optional) go to super user setting and choose to allow automaticcly instead of prompt
12.(optional)set link2sd to autolink apps
13.(optional)link ur old apps that take space
If u need any help at all pm me and rember to always backup. PLEASE CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON AND THANKYOU !!

Any proof that it will brick your sd card? If its not a safe feature then it wont be included the recovery right?

It wont brick anything for god sake. These are two differents ways of doing the same thing. I personally prefer the non cwm way... Just personal choice

Cwm partitioning perfectly fine for me on 3 different phones... Also I am on MiniCM9 3.0.3 and using link2sd... Which is also working perfectly fine. Although if it matters I upgraded my ROM from MiniCM7 without wiping anything, just had to reconfigure my ext4 partition with Link2sd after installing MiniCM9. And now most of my apps are linked to sd-ext partition... So what do you mean by Link2sd not working with MiniCM9?

"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
Edit: you should remember that cwm will FORMAT your sd card!!! backup your data first!!!!

Backup your sd card, format it and restore files on it, I think that's quickest and easiest way.

Although we can move apps to sd with rooted device but it still comsumes some memory form mobile. Is it not possible to move apps to sd without any consumstion of internal memory?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
I dont think so...
Partition your SD and use link2SD if you're on stock rom or a2SD / s2e if you're on custom rom. Still, all apps use a small amount of internal storage. Also check if your cache isn't too big, I've recovered up to 40 MB by clearing cache every few months.
You can use "S2E" from market and tick all option including the data one but you will get a decrease in performace. For data you must enter in definitions and tick advanced for accessing it.
I am using Miracale v4 by itasoulas and using link2sd to move apps to sd but if i download heavy size app or games it takes much more internal memory so, i'm running out of internal memory.
If i do partition of my sd card to install app separately will it also consume internal phone memory?

I have made partition of sd yet. Im thinking of making it if I get any solution.
I used Link2SD and now have over 100mb free internal space. I partitioned the sd card to ext3, 1024mb.... works like a charm, no performance issues.. widgets are recognized as well.

get titanium backup and use the "Convert to system app" option...this moves the app to free ROM memory...this should give you at least 25-45 MB user memory

Forum ma search kar bo topic 6 enu upar
i choose manual to move app to sdcard from settings(no use any app for this),20 hd games+17 casual games + 35 apps i still have 70mb free memory,maybe s2e gives more free space but it isn't stable,sometimes when i unplug my battery because of lags,then my apps are gone,link2sd is rubbish,they just give me 40 mb space and unstable like s2e.
sorry for my english

Absolutely true, the only thing good is that it still keeps the app fast (+ widgets) and no hassle on connecting USB
Useful for just those 4-5 apps one wants
Even in link2sd no hassle in USB class 10 sdcard so its super fast :-D

You need a rooted Ace for this? And custom ROM?
Guys,
Sorry to ask a noob question:
I know how to partition the SD card to EXT, but does these apps mentioned, Link2SD etc, working with stock rom? And uprooted phone?
Thanks.
Yes.
But you need follow the tutorials that are posted in the forum (hit search).
In stock roms u need (i guess) another kernel that support inid.d scripts.
The only reason i love cyanogen is because of s2e, after move dalvin on ed-ext i have 160 mb and with all my apps (20-+) i have 140mb.
I don't know if on stock u can do what s2e does but there are another tricks. (Link2sd) for exemple.
I have 45 mb of free space on my phone and when I try to installed an app on 6 mb it say that there is not enough free space ?

Thx, I will try looking at that Im running MiniCM9 on my phone, is there any way to do it there or is the only way link2sd ?

I recomend to use Swapper for root and swapper 2.
When I was in stock rom, I cannot install games which was 25MB+ (because of small RAM, not phone memory - this was still about 100MB free), although I had Link2SD enabled and all installed apks went directly to card.
Now using miniCM7 with both Swappers (first to create swapfile, second to use the swap file and virtually expands RAM) and I am able to install files around 50MB now... And the phone memory is still about 100MB (using native app2sd implemented in miniCM7)
There's no need to use Swapper/Swapper2 in Minicm7. The swap feature is built into the kernel. If you have swap partition, it is automatically detected and used.

Pardon me, but contrary to what you said, it did not work at all and did not give much hope for me. im using a swap program and i have a 150mb swap file on card and now it helps me to use the phone ram efficiently.
im on gingerbread arcmininxt t6
Thank you!
Do you have a swap partition or a swap file? Which kernel do you use? I am not familiar with your ROM, but, as I read, if It is built on MiniCM7, and you use nAa's kernel, you should enjoy swap without external program.
the same thing happened to me while i was trying to transfer my apps from my titanium backup. I deleted and then recreated my ext3 partition and the porblem went away. I think that when i jumped from one ROM to another, the apps stayed in my SD but didn't show up. As a result, with each restore they pilled up in my SD and covered all of the free space.
I may be wrong, but a recreation of my ext3 partition worked for me
how can i install on my LWW all the downloaded apps/games on memory card? Is this possible? installing all apps and games on memory card?

If u unlock the bootloader,it is much easier to root ur phone without any risk by flashing custom karnel.but u still can root ur phone.but u have to downgrade ur firmware version to .58. Coz .62 firmware is not rootable.

Very simple...if u flash custom karnel then go to cwm and in advance option u can find a option calling partition sd card.just partition ur sd card through it.
Another way is using ur pc with mini partition wizard softwere.its also a easy method.
But remember that by partitioning process the sd card format automatically.so backup ur data first.

Instead of link2sd I suggest Mounts2SD, with that you can move application's data too, not just libs, dalvik and APK. I personally moved everything, except cache and dalvik cache. This way I've got 3GB (ext partition size) "internal storage".

this sounds good. i use link2sd as well and i didn't have any problems with it so far but i'll give mount2sd a try as my internal storage is quite small
