Hi to all
My question is about se neo and apps 2 sd
Is it possible to partition sd card to have ext 3/4 and fat partition, put it into Neo, and with apps2Sd app move aps to sd to save internal memory?
Is that possible with stock rom od does it have to be a custom rom??
The other question is about contacts
Is it possible to put facebook picture for contacts picture?
And another thing, ate ther going to be custom rom's for this model?
Thx and sorry for my English

Yes, yes and yes!
For app2sd you can use built in option. Look application manager.
Option 2 is use "link2sd" and create 2nd partition...BUT its need rooted phone.
For contact picture you need sync your facebook account your phone. Or you can also manuali put this pictures.
And yes we have already custom ROMs for neo. Look development forum and you see.

Isn't it also possible to partition your SD card via PC e.g. with a microsd to sd adapter and plugging it in?

For ext2/3/4 you problaly need linux
Fat32 you can make with windows.
But always you can use LIVECD or virtualbox etc.
Anyway if you want use "link2sd" then you must root user and then I THINK most users already unlocked bootloader and with this you can make this partitsion stuff easly via recovery

What are the advantages and benefits of both of these options?
If I'm constantly switching ROMs what would be a better option in order not to install of restore every single app when the ROM is changed?

Hi,
1)Ext2,Ext3 are external partitions you create on your sd card in order to link or move apps from the phone and free up internal memory.This is the case for Eclair(2.1) or lower only.
2)Froyo onwards,there is a native apps2sd which would automatically be able to move apps to the FAT portion of your sd card which means there is now no need for any partitions to be created and not recommended either.
As you can now see,point 1 above is born out of necessity arising from the inadequacy in the older operating system!
Trust this clarifies.
...............do press the Thanks button if this helps...............
app2sd
hi i actualy use link2sd and works perfects for me i have fat32 part and i can move almost any app. not the system apps. i dont ever try apps2sd because i olnly use this app in all my roms i use. cheers
I agree with sathkartha, but would like to mention one advantage of installing an app on an Ext2 / 3 / 4 partition:
When mounting the SD card on a computer, only the FAT(32) partition is mounted on the computer. The Ext2 / 3 / 4 partitions remain mounted on the phone, allowing for running apps installed on such partitions while the FAT partition is mounted on the computer.
Thanks for the info guys, now as far as changing roms every time one is released, will the apps installed on the EXT partition remain as long as they are non permanent running apps or widgets, like games and/or apps.
I would also like to know, how can i relink and restore ext2 apps once i install a new rom?

Best way to create two particions is the method with CWM

Nope. Usb mode doesn't allow for full unmounting. So formatting in usb mode will leave your memory card partially corrupted. Use card reader/cwm.

Ok so I am gonna make an easy guide. But befor i start i will say the requirements
Requirements
1.Rooted
2.Busybox installed(v19.4 reccomended)
4.Card reader
So here we are.
1.Download MiniTool Partition
2.Remove the sd-card from phone and put it in a card reader and plug in pc.
4.Select only important files like Pictures, Music , Titanium and clockworkmod backups and all that important stuff for you
5.Copy them to a folder in computer.
6.Install MiniToolPartition and open it.
7.You will see your hard drives and your sd card.
8. Right click on sd card and click delete. Then again right click and Create.
9.Select "File System:" FAT when you have 2GB or smaller card.
Select "File System:" FAT32 when you have 4GB or greater card.
10.Dont select the whole volume. Select for example if you have 4GB card select 3GB if you want your sd-ext to be 1GB
11.When you are done.Again right click on the sd card and create ext2 or ext3 partition.Then select the full volume allwoed.
12.Make sure that this volume is enough for all apps on your phone.
13.Whn you are done click on the apply button on the top left corner. Wait for it to finish. When you are done. Copy teh prevously backed up data to the card.
14.Put it on the phone and on the market download Link2SD
15.Run the app and it will ask for root.Then select your tipe of partition. tehn reboot.
16.After reboot go to the app and you can mult iselect your apps with the options menu. Then in actions.Click Create link. Then ok.
17.You are done. Now you have a cleaner sd and initial storage
FAQ:
Q:What is sd-ext partition.
A: Its a tipe of partiton than linux supports so Android can use it as an initial memory.
Q:Why i dont see more space when i go to Apps in phones settings
A:The phone cant display sd-ext partiton. you can view it via Link2SD.(Otions>Storage info)

i have a question
what is the point of having this sdext partition? almost every app can by installed on sdcard :/
i have all my apps on phone memory and i have still over 130MB free, when i get close to fill up memory i will move apps to sd with android app manager built in.
You can moove all apps and its data on teh sd-ext partiton. That way you have 300mb free on inital and android still recognizes the apps as on initial.So widgets work

but why would i have 300mb free? isnt it supposed to be used? like if u have 300$ and just looking at it and not spend it if it was ram that we could use for more smooth gaming then i would do it, but flash memory free laying unused?

easiest way is
1. go to recovery
2. partition sd card
3. choose the size of ext
4. choose the size of swap
5. reboot
6. done
Dont do demonics way probably bricks ur sd card this is the safest way
1.BACKUP EVERYTHING (JUST IN CASE)
2.download partiition wizard home (free from weebsite google it
3.connect sd card USING SD CARD READER NOT USB CABLE FOR PHONE
4.open pwh
5.choose ur sd card and delete every partition in it
6.creata an partition fat32 (will be regular files like ur music and so)
7.Create a ext3 partition (for apps)
8.click apply
9.copy ur items back to sd card P.S:the ext3 partition is invisible
10.open link2sd and choose ext3 as partition type
11.(optional) go to super user setting and choose to allow automaticcly instead of prompt
12.(optional)set link2sd to autolink apps
13.(optional)link ur old apps that take space
If u need any help at all pm me and rember to always backup. PLEASE CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON AND THANKYOU !!

Cwm partitioning perfectly fine for me on 3 different phones... Also I am on MiniCM9 3.0.3 and using link2sd... Which is also working perfectly fine. Although if it matters I upgraded my ROM from MiniCM7 without wiping anything, just had to reconfigure my ext4 partition with Link2sd after installing MiniCM9. And now most of my apps are linked to sd-ext partition... So what do you mean by Link2sd not working with MiniCM9?

Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I have a question: I know that i can't do a sd partition without a mod kernel, but there's no mod kernel for my device(sola)!
In development section there is a script that let me move app to sd but I don't understand if it works like Link2sd or if it is a great substitute of a sd partition..
Tnx for help!
are you refering to sd card not mounting as sd ? if so and you are a rpot user if u can send me ur vold.stab from systrm/etc i can look at changing it for you

that is absolutely not true. you dont need a custom kernel to partition your sd card.
what you need is a class 4 and above memory card and a rooted phone.

so you are saying that the apps and app data are biengs stored on ur internel memory not your sd card when using apps2sd
Sent from my ST27i using xda app-developers app
Link2sd moves tha app on my ext sd card (not the phone sd card) but i know that it doesn't move it completly, it moves only a part, the other still stay on the memory's phone (or phone sd card i don't know).
I read a some post on this and in order to move totally the app to the ext sd card I know is necessary create a partition on the ext sd card and have a custom kernel (i'm not really sure about this last thing because a user over here says that it doesn't necessary and stock kernel is ok);
I only want to know if there is a alternative method to move the full app on the ext sd card (like the script in the post of the development section, but i don't understand if it's the solution that i'm seraching) or the only way is create a partition on the sd card (using a mod kernel or not..).
tnx a lot!
