i was browsing this forum and many members were talking about ext 4 partion ?
i can already move apps to sd card with my cyno ace/apptosd/root.so why need ext 4 or ext 3 partion plz tell me the details about it ?
I made a 1GB partition on my 8GB micro SD using cmw. I move the apps to the SD but not all the data is moved. For example, I have an app that's about 10MB, I move it to SD and there's still about 5MB left on the internal memory. Doesn't happen with all apps but that little extra memory adds up.
Is there a way to fully move the app and everything to do with it to the SD card? Most of my apps are installed on the SD but there's still a lot of internal memory being used up. I also read about a way to force the apps to SD. After I tried searching for it, I couldn't find it. Can someone help me on both questions please?
Summary; what I'm asking is, What is wrong with how the apps are being installed on the SD? How can I force non-moveable apps to the SD? Is there a way to move all the app data to the SD?
The app I'm using is apps2sd free. https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hMHNvZnQuZ3Bob25lLmFwcDJzZCJd Or is there any other app you guys recommend?
EDIT: I just installed Link2SD and it just said that only 16MB are being used on my 2nd patition. What is going on? I thought all my apps were installed externally? I'm so confused :/
Even i have same problem

If you want the entire app to be housed within the sd card then you should be using a2sd by Darktremor.
see if u r using link2sd , it links .apk , dex and lib files.....
and also install all apps on INTERNAL MEMORY then link them.... that way they will use your ext partition...... and check link automatically in link2sd....... apps will continue to use some internal memory but that was minimal when i used it.........
So if I link them, they get stored in the internal memory right? Then what's the point of linking them? And when they're moved to the sd card, why don't they get moved to the 2nd partition? Which one saves more space, linking them or moving them to the sd?

See now u hav 3 storages : Internal , EXt, and ur remaining SD card memory... since u already alotted 1 gb for apps .... thn why to move your apps to sd ?? just link them with the help of link2sd.....they will then occupy ur ext partition.... ( though apps data will be still on internal) ....
and also like you link few apps and expect to see a rise in internal memory.... you wont see rise until you reboot... wither quick reboot from link2sd or full reboot....
Hi Dev,
I root my device xperia lww and make partition on my sd card ,when I used link2sd application there's some partitions .
There's internal memory,external memory fat 32,cache system partition ext3,cache 100mb,and last is sd ext 900mb.
I can use cache system partition to move dalvik-cache like thread I got from xda.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638962
But l don't know what's function sd-ext it's still empty.
What thread can I used to make sd-ext functionally ,cause it useless with 900mb on my sd card?
Big hope to developer.

Hey Guyz..I just got my new SD Card its..Sandisk 8GB (Class 4)..I was just partitioning my SD card..
Can anyone tell me which is a good app
Link2SD or S2E?..also which second partition shud i make EXT3 or EXT4?
PLZ tell which is bttr app
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

hi,my data partition is full and the last days i'm confused about which method to follow in order to install more apps.One method is to use the Move to SD rom option for specific apps and also use link2sd or directorybind if needed but i also find some guides about repartitioning the internal card to increase datafs storage( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353551 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887864 ).
So i would like to know the pros/cons of each mnethod in order to decide which one to choose
thanks in advance
Pros: your /data partition will be approximately 13gb
You have more space for apps
Your external sdcard will be detected as internal sd card (/sdcard instead of/extsdcard) so you can have 2/4/8/16/32gb storage
Cons:very big probability that you could brick your memory chip cuz you use .pkt files
