Prerequisites:

• Clockworkmod Recovery
• Rooted Phone
• Terminal Emulator (dL from google play)
• atleast 8gb (Class 4) of sdcard to have bigger sd-ext, but i dont recomment higher than 8gb as it will load your android very slow 
• 2gb sdcard will do but will have low sd-ext
• common sense, patience

1.  Reboot your device into Clockwork Mod Recovery. (power off, home + powerbutton)

2. Go to Advance>>Partition SD Card option on your recovery and select a size for
ext 3 partition. This will create an ext 3 file system partitionon your sd card called sd-ext. The size of your sd-ext partition should be determined on the basis of how much apps and games you are going toinstall on your device. If you are not of type who wants to test every app or a normal user 2 GB of sd-ext partition should be enough. Determine the size that best suites you and proceed.

3. Also, select swap partition size as 0 Mb.

[Optional] 4. Open terminal emulator then type, "mount | grep sd-ext"
you should get this reply /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)

5. Now download Darktremor Apps2SD and copy it to your sdcard.

6. Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.

7. Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip file you downloaded from above.

8. After the script is installed reboot your device.

9a. Download Apps2sdGui from google play
9b. via terminal emulator, type "su" first then,

• a2sd check : Checks a2sd status; displays information incl. where your apps, cahce and data are stored.
