Guest k0zmic Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Firstly you need a ROM that supports A2SD, next you need to know if it support EXT2/3/4 Now you need to change the way your SDCard is Partitioned. In Ubuntu use GParted - in Windows get the home version of Partition Wizard http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html Now Copy EVERYTHING off the SD Card. Make the FIRST partition the FAT32 one (primary partition) - leave 512MB or more for the EXT2/3/4 (where apps will be installed) Now Make Another partition (must be the SECOND) as EXT2/3/4 - also make this primary. Now mount the Card and copy all your data back to the FAT32 Part - assuming it fits. When you install/next boot you ROM, the EXT2/3/4 partition will be mounted as DATA / this is where your apps go from now on. Then I think you'll have to wipe dalvik cache in recovery and reflash SS over the existing installation. Edited June 30, 2011 by k0zmic
Guest flshg Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 You shouldnt need to wipe cache, nor reflash the rom. When I did it I think a reboot was enough to trigger the scripts to copy the apps over. If not, you can use the "a2sd reinstall" command from a terminal prompt, or use the a2sdgui app.

Guest flshg Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 The partition tool that k0zmic has provided has a nice help file to guide you in resizing and creating partitions. Basically you need to backup whatever data you wish to keep from your sd card onto your pc. Then resize the fat32 partition (make it smaller to allow space for the new ext partition). Create a new ext2 partition, make it a primary partition. Format the partition as well, and maybe the fat32 one to be safe. This will then be ready for a2sd. Alternatively just use the standard apps2sd feature in swedish spring to move apps out of internal memory and onto the sdcard.
Guest maff91 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) You don't need to do the ext2 partition use the app on xda developers Force2SD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145814 Works like a charm (all that is needed is froyo (which you already have) and root) Edited June 30, 2011 by maff91

Thanks for the link.

Did you manage to partition your sd card? Once you have the card partitioned you then use A2SDGui to toggle from internal memory to sdcard for apps.
