Quote:
Note: To make this post, I will use an 16 GB card how as example, but if you have lower on higer, can use it choosing your favorite sizes. Sizes witch I used are for reference , and you can use the sizes what you prefer. Repeat, I am NOT responsable for damages in your MicroSD Card, Phone on another damage in your hardware.

When has finished, disconnect your MicroSD (secure) and follow the step 2.
Step 2: Setting Up Your Phone: Link2SD

Quote:
Now, we procced to configure the Swap, and the EXT4 for apps partition in your phone. First Install Link2SD. Shut down your Phone and put the partitioned MicroSD card in your phone. Now Start your Phone and open "Link2SD", and give Root Permisions. Select ext4, wait while script is creating and reboor your phone.
Open again the Link2SD and go to Settings, and choose this parameters.

Now, when your install an app, this will be automatical moved to the EXT4 partition. Remember, when you will going to install an app and wanna have in your phone memory, discheck "Auto Link", and install, after recheck "Auto Link". With Link2SD you can install, uninstall, Link and remove links of your apps.
Step 3: Setting Up Your Phone: Swapper 2 .

Quote:
Now we configure the SWAP partition in our Android. Is very simple. Install Swapper 2 , open and set Root permission, and click in "Ads Off"
Now go to Settings and set "Swap Size" and "Swappiness" how show the images.

Now go to Advanced Preferences and set this:
Now go to principal screen of Swapper 2 and ON the swap partition.
6/10
7/19/13
Finish! Now, you have you SWAP partition working Enjoy you Phone with EXT4 + SWAP! NOTE: this tutorial and the images are of my authority. Remember, this is only any of a lot of ways to part your MicroSD Card (CWM, TWRP and other windows apps and linux commands make it) and get SWAP working (there are millions of scripts and other apps that do), but this is the way that I use and think is the easiest to get swap and ext4 parts.

Partitioning your SD card works with locked bootloader aswell. First you must have Rooted device, CWM installed, busybox and a memory card. 1) Backup and format your SD card. 2) Enter CWM 3) Go into advanced and pick. Partition SD card 4) Choose the sizes you want 5) Reboot and download Link2SD from play store. 6) Open it and pick sdext2. 7) Reboot and you have it. To check, open file manager and go into Data. There should be a folder called sdext2 Press thanks if I helped Sent from my WT19i

you can do this with Locked bl too.. d'uh check your sdcard b4 doing this! if it is c4 or below then choose FAT32.. if you have a c6 or above then use Ext2.. dont move system apps with Link2SD.. why? sometimes it doesnt work well and they dissapear!! be carefull, specially dont move play store.

It's better to use Linux Based partition tools for Partioning-Formatting ext based File systems . Mini-Tool and EASEUS are good tools but they are not the best nor reliable ... It's adviable to use Partion Magic or Gparted Live for Optimum results Insmod the ext4 modules with init.d(before Link2SD script) for ext4 support on Locked Bootloader (Thanks to zxp for the modules ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=modules
