[GUIDE] Partitioning your SD Card to use swap and or lin2sd :)

There is probably a guide for this already, but if there is, it is deep, deep down
What we will need:
Some way to connect the SD Card to the PC (using the phone USB with storage mode on is fine)
Minitool partition wizard - http://partitionwizard.com - the home edition is fine for this.
The steps:
Connect the SD card to the computer
Launch minitool
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select your SD Card MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SELECT YOUR HARD DRIVE!
On the left, there will be an option to Resize the drive. Select this and resize as necessary (If you have a 6GB drive, and want a 1GB ext2, resize it to 5GB).
Do the same again for a swap partition.
Check the operations on the left bar, to make sure you are happy with them and click 'Apply'.
Wait for it to complete. DONE! Eject you sdcard, and put it back into your phone. You can now download an app like link2sd to use it, or use swap
NOTE: I am in no way responsible if your data goes missing!
NOTE2: Not all ROM's have swap support. Most (if not all) CM rom's now do, however, you may need the 07swapon script. Please check my post to get that

It's the same thread like this?:

He did state, "There is probably a guide for this already, but if there is, it is deep, deep down " but i dont mind...

I might as well not do things. I always do them wrong, and I get upset. Delete this thread then

Nah, just keep looking for material that's missing, so you can make a tutorial .

I think you or anyone could make a tutorial about how to build up a system (not a kernel, but just a e.g. cm7, cm9, aokp, aosp), in order to make our developer thread much more colorful. Just an idea...

To build from source it builds both system and kernel...

There are many guides out there but for gt540 its slightly different.

So how is link2sd and clockwormod recovery backup?
When I have ext2/3/4 secondary partition and create backup, than do files and linked stuff go to sd-ext? After restore will there be working linking during boot? And what happens when the secondary partition is fat32?

When you backup with CWM, as long as the ROM you are using mounts the /sd-ext.
When the backup file is made, the sd-ext file contains all the symlinks, so yes, backups work (I have made it loads of times).

[Q] Myth 3 Wanted to go back to my default partition of SD card

To install Myth3, i created a ex partition in SD card through Clockwork mod. Now i wanted to flash another rom. My SD card is 8 GB and now if i connect to the system it shows 6.85 GB available. I want to delete the partition created in the SD Card. How to do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi shaneadams!

You can use Computer Management section if You run Windows OS.
You can delete partitions there. I always use it.

Hi SzalonyKronicarz!
If the SD partition is ext2/ext3/ext4 Windows OS will not see it.
Though, Windows OS computer management section is useful for FAT/FAT32/NTFS partitions.
Good luck.

I can't agree with You.
It works just fine for deleting partitions.
Windows may not use this type of partitions but can see and delete.
Actually I don't have any english version of Windows but I'd like to show You that I am right:
You can see, that partitons exist.
It says "Zdrowy,nieznana partycja" - english: healthy - unknown partition.
You can also see "Usuń partycję" - english: delete partition.
Both partitions were created under CWM Recovery.

i haven't used swapper, but if you're going to use a swap file, you don't need a swap partition.

The message shows ext partition is supported & you don't have ext partition ...
About swap, if you're noob use other apps to create swap file(instead of partition)(apps like ram expander {not sure about the name}
Creating swap file with Swapper needs a lot of hard work, so forget it
#set swappiness to 40 or 60 for gaming otherwise 10 - 20 is enough

FolderMount - Link folders and app from internal to external SD Card

Redmi Note Move App to SD Solved (Noob Proof )​
A s we know our Redmi note dont have feature to move apps to SD Card, dute to internal memory is in Emulator mode.
Why would we need this app?
1)Today some apps store big files over the internal SD card (e.g. Games, Podcasts, Offline RSS feeds, Pictures, Offline navigation software). Our Redmi note has only 5.5GB approx available for use an the problem is after installing 2-3 big games or apps , you cant install new apps.
Like traditional way you cant move data file (Obb file) to SD card in our Redmi Note and this a big limitation for a High config device like Redmi Note.
2)If you want to make long HD Vedio recording , your internal memory is not enough, this can also be solved by this method.
Requirement:-
1) Root Access.
2) Working Brain
Steps for the trick:-
1)Download FolderMount from playstore
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2)Open App you will see this
3)select + on the top you will get
4)Then put something in Name as i am mounting data folder of Skyforce , i named it as Skyforce.
now select Source it will ask you to locate folder in internal SD ,select that folder like in my case its /Android/obb/pl.idreams.skyforcehd
where pl.idreams.skyforcehd is data file folder for skyforce game.
Now press on tick mark on top , Now it will ask you to create destination folder automatically in external SD , Select Yes
5)FolderMount will offer to move the files to the destination. Click yes.
6) After file moving is compete , you can see new entry with your specified name in the app.
7)Now click on the pin on the right side of the name, it will turn Green, it means mounting is done.
Now run the app it will work like normal , your app data is moved to Exter nal SD Card
Note:- You might need to do step 7 if you reboot your mobile.

Hit Thanks if you liked my Post

Awesome. Thanks a lott

Actually you will have about 2.5GB for use. It may quickly used up by your photos, local backup, titanium backup, Downloads and also big videos.

Thanks for the clarification. Whenever I hit download link on my mobile, Chrome browser goes into a refresh loop on zippyshare. It's weird but I probably should try downloading via PC.
Edit: Downloaded zip file via PC. Testing in progress. Thanks for the effort.

Magisk manager shows it as a module so you can uninstall it from there.. Why would you though?

I do not understand how it works, everything works like before, Apps are installed in internal SD Card and data also in internal SD Card .

Oh well, it exposes a user accessible path under the mnt.
I love it cuz apps work so much faster when not using the weird new external storage permission thing.

So, do i have do copy all on External Card or internal card to this mnt point?

no no, it simply is used for allowing apps to access the external sd card without having to use the Document Storage provider. eg. Say you have your titanium backup files on your sd card, you can point to the mount point to access them instead of using the external storage handler or anything else.
Or you could save files on the ext sd card by pointing to the mount point.

This saved me from having to format as internal. I'm running RR5.8. Thank you for this
