hmmm i thought that system partition of SGP was too small for two systems to coexist.
It's virtually impossible.
also, this thread would fit in Q&A section or general discussion.
Couldn't you use your external SD Card assuming that you've got one big enough?
The external sdcard isn't the /system partition.
The ROMs each have a seperate /system and /data partition (at least on my O2X) so both of them combined might be too big for the partition.
Take a look here. Its the O2X thread on Dual Booting. I recommend reading it so you can understand the basics.

So what does android normally run on? Ext3? And can it run on ext4?

Dude how did u do that!!
BTW
ext2 = extended filesystem version 2
+ = fast
-= not easy data recovery because it has no journaling
ext3=extended filesystem version 3=extended filesystem version 2 + journaling( this means filesystem keeps a log of all operations done on it..if something goes all it does is read the journal and the last operation)
+= safer,data doesnt corrupt easily,easy recovery
-=relatively slow compared to ext2
ext4= extended filesystem version 2 =super awesome ..Complete rewrite
+= has all the goodies u can think of !!!
-= none to say(i love reiserfs though ..its a pity that dev is in jail for killing his wife !!!)
SO stop asking same questions !!! flash AMONRA 2.2.1 and format with ext4...God !! same questions over and over again ...

Android uses this yaffs2 for internal memory except when internal memory is huge(as in costly phones)

Wow. Great. Thanks it worked. But is it ok to use move apps option as well? I have installed weather apps with widget and stuff.. Will that be affected?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Activating sd-ext for apps makes every app head over, so you'll have no choice in which. Widgets work just fine because they are on a separate partition than the rest of the FAT (normal) partition.
Wrong forum, please post in the correct one.
On that note, thread closed.
I have a weird problem, my sd-ext partition will not mount on either of the programs, and also cannot be detected by s2e, but it was all working before i installed ketut's latest kernel and it doesn't work now even on the older one.. can any one help?
same here.....

Sorry for being a noob, but could anyone explain me the procedure of how to activating A2SD.. I tried reading several posts (and also searched ) but I couldn't actually achieve it.. Really appreciate if someone can help me out.. Thank you..

Its a pain in the a**, because cm7 data partition is big enough already, and now i can't even use a2sd, space is very limited
Try repartitioning

Done. Twice. Problem Still persists, although the partitioning was done by cwm 5.0.2.6, so imma try on the official one again
Yup, I have problems too with a2sd. My ext4 partition on SD corrupt and because ext4 inherited ext2 so fsck take a long time to recover.
I wish somebody add more fs support like jffs or another journaling fs that suitable to android.
I wonder that is cwm working if we have the same chip cpu but deferent model? For example, there are two devices such as vonino spirit S and pipo. Those are on rockchip R3066..can we install the same recovery? ? Thanks

if that was the case they'd just merge galaxy s4 and htc one's forums together

Unfortunately you can't because of the different partition layouts of the device and the fact that ever device has it's own unique recovery.fstab which tells the recovery where to mount the /data partition, /cache partition etc. so that operations such installing files, and wiping partitions can occur. If your interested in getting Clockworkmod Recovery on your device I would recommend taking a look at this guide on porting Clockworkmod Recovery to a new device.
Thank you....I will see this guide

OK so i have searched for info on increasing the internal memory of a galaxy ace s5839i and there seems to be a lot of info regarding partitioning so i downloaded minitool partition and created a partition on the SD card then used link2sd but this isn't really doing anything, when i try and download new apps larger than the available storage which is 25mb it comes up with the insufficient storage sign and when trying to link the internal apps that came with the phone it just says failure so i would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer me as i am doing this as a favor for someone and they are picking the phone up tomorrow
Try re-Partitioning ur Ace, This time. Use CWM.

CWM for S5830i should work on S5839i as both of them have same hardware. Anything that works on S5830i should work on S5830c, S5830m and S5839i. Hope I Helped

Flashed cwm and made an sd partition using that and i can create links on apps now but larger apps (40mb+) still wont download on to the phone it still says insufficient storage
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Ok i have now linked most of the apps that came with the phone other than system apps and it freed up 90mb which is a big step up from 30mb i had before partitioning however when i download new apps they are not auto linking despite having checked the auto link box and when i do auto link i have to reboot the phone every time to make it take proper effect. Also downloaded apps use up less memory when i move to sd card rather than linking
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Been playing around with link2sd and i am impressed its working great the internal memory from the phone keeps changing for some reason that's why i thought it was still taking up a lot of memory but once the phone is rebooted it balances itself out however the apps are still not auto linking i am putting this down to apps automatically downloading to the sd card rather than internal memory so link2sd is unable to create a link for this, any advice on why this is happening will be greatly appreciated

Some apps are usually installed on SD Card. Sadly Link2SD can't link the apps installed on SD Card. Hence you have to move such apps to Internal memory in order to link them. Also because you are using the stock rom which has no init.d support, you have to reboot everytime for your internal memory to stabilize. If you want to install as much apps as you want, then try CronMod Unofficial Script. But for this you need init.d support. CronMod Unofficial will not work on stock rom. All custom roms have init.d support. Just download any custom rom from the link given in my previous post. Download the CronMod Unofficial.zip from the link below. Now go to CWM, do Format data/ factory reset, Format cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system & Format /sd-ext, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Now mount /system from Mounts & Storage and then install the rom from SD Card. Now remount /system and then install Cronmod Unofficial.zip from SD Card. Done! Just reboot and you can see that your internal memory has increased. Now you can install any number of apps as long as you have free space on the ext partition. Make sure to install only necessary apps as installing a lot of apps will ultimately slow your device. Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial

The person im doing it for doesn't want a custom rom so is there no way to direct apps straight to internal on stock rom? Hes taken his phone back hes happy with it for now but would be better if apps are automatically linked. Now i can go back to using my nexus 5 lol

You can also install a custom stock kernel to get init.d support to your stock rom. Try Rafeal Baugis Stock kernel. Here is the link,

I haven't heard any complaints from him yet so seems he's happy enough with it at the moment but if that changes i will most likely install the custom kernel you linked
