Root Darktremor Apps2SD Installation....

[RunVert]

When installing Darktremor Apps2SD , one of the first steps is to select "partition sdcard" from recovery menu, then after that it asks me the
"ext size"
with options of either 128M,256M, 512M, and 1024M.
Which one do I choose?

then after that step it asks me the "swap size"
with option of 0M,32M,64M,128M and 256M.
Which one of these do I choose?

what exactly do these numbers mean?

thanks!

This will wipe your sd card btw so back it up if it isnt... for swap size default is fine, like 32 i think. For ext people usually pick something between 512 and 1024 depends on how many apps you have or plan on having and if you run dalvik from sd card...i chose 7something...its more than i need lol, think i actually only use like 128 out of my 720.

Oh sorry, what those numbers mean...well ext is the size of the partition you are setting aside on your sd card, a2sd will move your apps here and run them from here using a symlink, the system wont know they moved (tricky shit). The largest portion of your sd card is fat32 where most everything else is. The swap im a little blurry on but from what i gather its really only used if you are running low on memory...

swap files are like page files in windows and are for virtual ram i believe. when I was first getting into linux I always read to have your swap partition twice your ram.

but from what I read, it seems that both partitions and files are now used in linux/unix for swaps.
