Your in the wrong section but im not going to QQ

Setup Apps2SD

N.B. Do this process after doing everything else! So make sure you have a working custom rom installed which supports Apps2SD. This is designed for VillainROM which doesn't use a swap, if your ROM does support swap ask for a recommended amount. Also note that the ext2 partition will be unreadable from windows or through android os.

1. Backup your SD card to your computer (very important as this process will wipe all the data on it)

2. Restart your phone into recovery mode (Home + Power)

3. Select:
Partition sdcard
Partition SD
Press Home
Swap-size = 0 MB
Ext2-size = 512 MB (recommended)
FAT32-size = Remainder
Press Home

4. Once complete Reboot system now and wait! This can take 20 minutes or so to complete, so just keep waiting!

(Optional - before reboot) - Under partition sdcard you can convert the ext2 partition to ext3 - "SD:ext2 to ext3" - however this isn't recommended as it can apparently wear out your sd card quicker. I believe MaCoDo even supports ext4 as well so you can do "SD:ext3 to ext4" after the first one too. Though again I'm not sure how good/bad this will be.



Check A2SD

Please assume it is automatically working unless you can load applications without your SD card inserted. However, here is the process for those who are pedantic about these things (like me

). Many thanks to Villainrom Wiki for this process.

1. Download check.zip from the bottom of this guide.

2. Extract check.sh

3. Download GScript Lite from the market

4. Place check.sh on your SD card in a folder named gscript

5. Open GScript and press:
Menu
Add Script
Uncheck "needs su"
Load File
Select check.su
Save

6. Then click check from the main screen and you will get a readout of whether it is enabled or not.
