Guest Latch86 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 Hi, I am completely new to the forum and could really do with some help setting up partitions on my SD card. I have just rooted my G300 by following Beggin's brilliant guide (http://www.modaco.co...date-root-more/). Now that I am rooted, I would like to start installing apps onto my SD card (32GB). I would also like to move a number of my current apps onto the SD card. I have Titanium Backup Pro and can see that there is an option to to do this. However, reading the guides on their website (see below), it looks like I would need to partition my SD card. I have no idea how to do this and would be very grateful for some help with this. My questions are:How do I partition my SD card? I would prefer to do it via my laptop than via my phone.Reading the guide below, it looks like I would need to set mount points. How would I do this?How big should I make the partition if I want the majority of apps to be stored there (including a few large games)?What size should I make the swap file?How many partitions do I need?Is there any way to set my SD card as the default location for apps? Thanks in advance everyone!! http://www.titaniumt...sing-move-to-SD What are the requirements for using the “Move app data to SD card” (Data2SD) feature? Our Apps2SD scheme creates symbolic links (one per app) at /data/data/com.x.y that will point to somewhere within an ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card.The supported mount points for the ext2/3/4 partition are:/system/sd/ (“classic” sd-ext)/sd-ext/ (“Cyanogen” sd-ext)/data/sd/ (“MIUI” sd-ext)So for Data2SD to work, you’ll need to ensure that your ext2/3/4 partition is mounted at one of these locations. Then create an “app” directory at that location in case it doesn’t exist. Once it’s done, you’ll see a free space gauge for it in the Titanium Backup welcome screen, and you can then long-click on an app in the list and hit the “Move app data to SD” button. Once you do that:First, Titanium Backup will look for existing symbolic links in /data/data/ and attempt to re-use the same target location, if it lies within the ext2/3/4 partition.If it finds no existing (or no suitable) destination, it will propose to create a “data2″ folder within the ext2/3/4 partition, and will then move the app’s data inside it.So by default, you’ll get: /data/data/com.x.y => /system/sd/data2/com.x.y (in the “classic” sd-ext case).

This way you'll be able to use internal 2gb memory, which is much faster, for apps. And 2gb for apps is more than enough.
