    How does it Work:
    
    
    Scenario 1:
    I switch on the Phone, without a MicroSD slotted in or with a microSD with a single FAT32 partition (broken or damaged microSD also suite this scenario...); GingerBread boots as usual!
    No Difference!
    
    
    Scenario 2:
    I switch on The Phone with a microSD slotted in (with the second partition formatted as EXT4 filesystem but still EMPTY); Ginger boots acting as if
    
    /data
    
    is completely moved outside to microSD but just WIPED (not true obviously, and the original /data is safe inside the phone), so it resettle it from beginning...
    
    NOTICE:
    ...If your second partition is 1Gb wide...
    ...your new Internal Memory will be 1Gb wide...
    
    
    Scenario 3:
    I switch on the Phone with the second partition of the microsd (EXT4) up and running (already resettled up for use and with my userdata on it); Ginger simply boots with
    
    /data
    
    moved outside to microSD with your userdata there and tons of apps just installed from the market...
    
    Example Image of my New Internal Memory Size follows

    NOTICES & ADVICES:
    
    • If I want to remove the microSD from the slot, FIRST I NEED TO SWITCH OFF THE PHONE!
    • When I install apps from the Market, Ginger Misunderstands the actual new Internal Memory SIZE and puts the apk files to External Storage anyway! I simply need to move them "to the phone" via "Settings menu" immediately after!
    • When I switch on the Phone without the microSD, I boot using the original /data inside the phone, actually loosing all the apps installed onto the external one untill next boot with SDcard; and, of course, loosing my sms stored there and others personal userdata too.
    • Unfortunately this boot image heavy conflicts with Link2SD (great app anyway!), so you must choose one: This Boot image or Link2SD... not both... sorry!
