Hey all,
I just bought a LG 540 recently (I know, it was cheap, I was a sucker, whatever) and am trying to improve performance on the phone. I installed fastboot, ClockworkMod Recovery, and Cyanogenmod 9. Great mod, love the interface
Using the CPU performance settings, it's running pretty sweetly now. But I'd like to get a little bit more out of it by moving some of the non-essential apps (calculator, terminal etc.) off the phone and onto my sd-card.
My first try was getting link2SD (?), which said I should create a 2nd partition on the card with Recovery. So I did.. but it deleted everything on the card
Anyhow, I had it all backed up since I knew I'd be playing around with it for awhile and it might tank. I got rid of link2SD because it couldn't detect my second partition and decided to go with Titanium Backup Pro (paid for through Market). Still, I cannot seemed to get it to detect the second partition - I changed the partition to ext2, ext3, and FAT32 - nothing.
I used the IO file browser in Cyanogenmod to navigate to sd-ext and attempt to create a folder - the program says I have no access. So it seems like the 2nd partition is not being mounted. Any ideas?
I figured the 2nd partition would be good because supposedly when Android mounts USB on the main SD Card partition, any linked apps get shut down, so I can see the benefits of doing it this way around.

P.S. The partition is only half a gig. Am I not allocating enough space to the 2nd partition?
