how many gb is recommended for creating the partition?

Depends on your card & your requirement.
To be safe at least 4GB combine with internal, roughly about 4.7GB but will not be shown in settings > storage.
You can view the balance in link2sd storage info

thx, i'll try it out

in the links2sd app, when i select an app in the list, and select move to sd, means it will be moved to the new partition on the sd card?

After you installed link2sd, link it to the partition created (ext 2 / ext 4 / fat), then restart.
Open link2sd again, use multi-select in settings, then select all & click action, in action menu, select create link, just press OK.
It will move all selected apps to 2nd partition.
Go to settings & select autolink , just tick on all the options.
That's it, the next time you install any apps, it will automatically store in the 2nd partition.
You will notice that even though many apps are installed, the internal memory still remain as though no new apps are added.

it's done, nice app and tweak, thx

Oh that one, guess I still have to move the apps to sd card after installing them

Which file system system do you use for your sd card?

I'm using EXT 2 but if you ask me any different, sorry I don't know

Alright, thanks for the clarification
So far so good, battery life is awesome (obviously)
Normal games running ok, 3D games like Asphalt 8 seems to lag
Not that I use it for gaming much, I've got ipad for that
Only problem I encounter with this phone is that I can't stream videos from my pc/nas
Even small sample clips still won't play, it just keeps on loading but nothing happens..

Has anyone here tried flashing MIUI rom?

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-p780-miui/

still confusing. before set write disk to external storage, there are sdcard0 for internal memory and sdcard1 for MMC. And after set write disk to external, they just exchange the label, sdcard0 for MMC and sdcard1 for internal. other changes is only some applications lost. but my media files (photos, videos and music) at memory card still can't detected by supergallery, video apps and playmusic. already clear data on Media Storage and then rescan that, but still persist. any help please?

ps: moving music files to Music folder and then playmusic will detect it. moving photos to Picture folder also make supergallery detect it. but older photos from my older phone under folder DCIM>Camera and DCIM>100ANDRO still not detected by supergallery.

anyone tried this phone ? how was GPS positioning lock ?

more to DCIM>Camera or DCIM folder... should be solved...

Took me a few seconds to get GPS lock, was surprised how fast it was since previous post mentioned it took less than 2 minutes to get GPS lock.

Btw, has anyone bought flipcover case for this phone and does it actually turn on/off the display?

Hi everyone. Just got my P780 today. Switching from my old Galaxy S2. Tired of the overheating battery and hangs. Btw, I am a bit confused abt the max sdcard capacity our phone can support. Some are saying 32gb while others are saying 64gb works too. Can anyone help clarify this? Is anyone here using a 64gb sdcard? Thanks guys!

there isn't any official accessories for this i think...
the problem is u need official accessories to make this happen...
i do not think any 3rd party flip will be able to do this... except some one come out a script or apps to make the screen on when the proximity sensor change of value or lights... and this only happen when the screen is off...

planning to get this phone or note 2 (with maxis plan).

does this phone support video output, which able to connect to TV.

Dont know if this is official accessories but looks pretty good.
