If you plan on using link2sd you will need a primary fat32 first, then resize that partition you just made. Use the section below/after that first partition to any size you want and use ext4 (primary).

You can use titanium backup to backup all your apps.
A2SDGUI stats are most of the time wrong so you don't have to bother.
then where i want to save the backup file? in sd card?
when i want setup pertition using rom manager warning massage come out
"wipe all data on your sdcard"
yes that will be save in sdcard then make a backup in your pc..you need titanium backup apk later..
doesn't you filesystem in ext4 yet?
i dont know what status of my sdcard yet....
did you mean this backup save all my picture and my mp3?
can i back up using samsung kies?
i realy need your guide....i dont wan to lose all my data Y_Y
nope titanium bakup will backup your applications amd data..
your using CM7 by BehradGH? so it already has ext4 filesystem..
what purpose do you want to use A2SDGUI?
i wan to create swap to support my Ram....
you know how to do that?
so what are the highlighted items in your A2SDGUI first tab?
Are your applications already running in sd-ext?
1st : "apps are on sd!"
2nd : "Dalvik cache on internal memory"
i tried to move this to sd but system said not enought memory

Yes it is possible.
U said u wanted to kno how to partition sd? So here it is.
First, connect ur fone to pc(not kies) & copy ur pics, apk's, videos, mp3's ete...etc...
Den download Mini partition tool on your pc. Install it.
After u finished copying ur stuff on d pc, format ur sd card. Nw open mini partition tool & make partitions in ur sd.
1st partition should b fat32, 2nd Ext4. Both primary. Apply changes.
Finished.

The CPU is not exactly a very powerful one. Swapping will slow down overall performance just so you can enjoy an artificially inflated RAM. Not worth it.

Hi,
Mine is a Hero GSM and still have the original partitions. The sizes are:
Code:
/system: 170MB
/cache: 130MB
/data: 165MB

How do I partition my SD-card best for the elelinux ROM light? I have a 16GB card.
And how do I do it with Win7?

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.

Thanks, I never new you could dual boot ROMs without an app like Boot Manager.
I have read somewhere and also experienced that performance of the phone decreases when we use link2sd... Is there a similar alternative cz I have loadss of apps and internal storage is not enough!
But the sudden lags even on apps stored on internal memory are dissapointing...
Thanks!
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
that should be in Q&A forum
and no there isn't ,Link2SD is the best i have experienced ,with overclocking there's no lag
dont use link2sd just use IN2EXT4+ here:

no apps needed. Just a kernel that supports ext4
Link2SD is more versatile and fast!

Link2SD is more versatile and is fast, Link2SD has a good graphical interface and works with ext2, ext3 and ext4 partitions formats, also, you have the choice not to move an app if your want and so on. It only makes slow when copying files to the SD Card there's no way around this as SD cards are normally slower that internal memory, you could buy a class 10 card or bigger for better performance.

CronMod IN2EXT4+ often gives bootloop for me on Hasa MIUI. I can recommend a Mounts2SD app by SpazeDog:

which slow performance do you experience with link2sd?
Lags, slow opening apps, what?

no issues at all. Just flash it AFTER FLASHING ROM and set permissions of script to 755. Dont forget to wipe sd-ext after flashing the script
You can use Titanium Backup on ur rooted phone and can easily move apps to SD. No issues for me so far.

I think it should be yaffs? for /system and /data
Is there any method to change the file system to ext4?
Maybe run some script through cwm?

Maybe faster but not better, having in mind that it's NAND memory we are talking about.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675026
After that google a bit more about ext4 and NAND memory.
At least that's how it was when I search about it.
