If you want to use Apps2SD(+) you need an ext partition.
Making a backup first is recommended.

Check out my post here.
Benefits are increased space on your phone, and for many roms, increased speed.
Enjoy.

1) Where did ya find a class 10 card?!?!?!?
2) Straight partition, yup.
As for Swap, read my post. Not needed anymore. Desire is too fast, no need for swap anymore, as it would slow down your device at best.

im from malaysia .. someone selling kingmax microsd 8gb for rm 80 .. htc desire using micro sd rite ?

Did you have the card in the phone before?
Many of the HD roms install part of the rom on the sd card, that is why you cant simply swop sd cards ... you have to reflash.
Sorry if im not quite understanding the problem properly ...
sorry for my poor english
normal i have a 4GB in the phone but my gift for christmas was a micro SD hc 8GB.
but if i lunch or reflash a rom with it, i stay on the HTC Screen because it search the right partition, if a put the old micro SD it's ok.
i use Gparted to make a FAT and a EXT3 but the phone have the same trouble.
thanks for help me
Ok sounds like there might be some inconsistencies with the previous partition that you made.
I'm not sure if this will work but its worth a try:
1. Reformat the SD card
2. Then make the partitions again, so the 6.4 gb fat partition first and then the 1 gb partition after that
3. Copy the Rom you wish to flash onto ur 8gb SD card
4. Insert it into your phone, enter hboot/recovery perform complete wipe and then perform the flashing procedure again.
I hope this works, good luck ... let know what happens

[Q] Low Memory Issue

My girlfriend got the HTC Wildfire S for MetroPCS a couple of weeks ago. It is a nice phone except for one little problem: The internal memory is crap. She has exactly 5 apps installed, all are moved to SD, and she has 7.14 MB or internal memory free. It is running the stock 2.3 Rom rooted. I need some help figuring out what to do. Before you guys make suggestions let me list what I have already done:
1. S-OFF and rooted, removed all bloatware, which moved it from 3.21 MB to 8 MB which seems like BS because a few of those apps were about 6 MB in size.
2. Moved apps to SD card partially in the applications menu in settings.
3. Cleaned caches
4. Uninstalled almost every application.
This is very frustrating because she cant update apps, she cant download apps, and it is frustrating because I have the old Huawei Ascend on CM7 and I have more apps and am faster than her phone, its ridiculous, I also wonder why after removing over 60MB or crap and bloatware it freed up about 7MB. Makes no sense. I don't want to do DT's app2sd script yet because she doesn't have a way to back up her stuff before the partition of the SD card. If anyone can explain another way or something I can do to fix this please..... It would be greatly appreciated.
Use Partition Wizard Home (Free) to resize your FAT32 partition and create your Ext(whatever your kernel supports) partition on a windows machine.
No need to back up. Doesn't destroy partitions.
My preference is Link2SD free from the market.
You can mass move your apps, dalvik cache and library files to the Ext(Probably Ext2 with stock rom kernel) from the SD card and internal to your Ext partition very easy.
Also you can set it up to auto do this when new apps are installed and choose which apps you want to keep fully internal for faster booting, startup, etc.

Is this the same question from two different people or one person logged on as two different people?
If your card is corrupt and can't be read try a program like Recuva on the PC (free) to get your files from it.

Format it in windows using the partition software I mentioned and make sure it is:
1/ Fat32
2/ A Primary not a Logical partition
3/ Make it the Active partition
thanks I have been working on it and got it to see the sd card
what about the 2 partion should it be ext2 ext 3 or fad 32 I guss it dose not matter I have tried all 3 but link2sd will not see the 2 partion

Choose EXT3
Sorry for the double post but you have to be rooted from what I understand. There is also a script or application that you have to use to move the apps and you MUST be rooted.
thanks much I kind if figured that now sorry for wasting your time guess I should I read more or some thing
It's no problem good luck!
I have had good luck with this

Internal memory can be increased if you are S-OFF
it can't be increased without decreasing other stuff. read sth about it and then try to tell about it. as i remember good, when u have mtd partitions, then ubhave about 30-40mb space more on internal memory but about 30-40 mb less in system partition or sth about that (; doing mtd partition is good way when u want to have ics on willy. for other stuff like cm7 or sense roms ext is enough :3 correct me i am wrong :3

I follow the last link and it 's work for increasing data memory. But it needs to know how much memory take your ROM. The value of system memory depends of it: choice system memory = ROM memory +5Mega

if you have rooted wildfire go to recovery then sd card partion then you can choose how many spaces you need to take for internal memory
Before folowing the actions of this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233340, you must install freesapce (thanks optimusodd) or link2sd to known the memory place which take your custom ROM in memory named system.
