Update #1: The attached zip file now works perfectly
Update #2: Fully Automated: new zip file attached at the end of this post.
Update #3: The creator of the script has released an application.

There are lot of scripts available to make use of the sd-ext partition of your card and install apps on it. Personally i've tried all of them
Mounts2SD is one such script by dk_zero-cool. (Original Thread)

I found that this script works fine on modded stock roms as well on Cyanogen/AOKP roms. I'm writing a simplified tutorial to get it up and running on your device. This may also work on other devices.

Caution: Although there are no steps that will brick your phone (at the most you need will need to reflash a rom ). Yet, i won't take responsibility for any damage done to your device.

Pre-requisites:

1. Rooted rom with init.d support (Rooting Tutorial) (Enabling init.d support)
2. sd-ext partition (Tutorial)
3. Your kernel should support sd-ext

Installation:

1. Make a nandroid backup if your want as you may loose data
2. Download the attached file (mounts2sd.zip)
3. Place to zip in the root of your SD card
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Select: Install zip from SD card-> <Now select the file your downloaded> ->Install
6. Reboot your device (May take some time to boot)

If zip file cannot be installed then please leave a comment

Initial Setup:

1. Download Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play
2. Open Terminal and type in the following commands one by one: (CAUTION: CASE SENSITIVE COMMANDS, Grant root permissions is asked for)
3. su
4. m2sd apps disable
5. m2sd data disable
6. m2sd cache disable
7. m2sd dalvik disable
8. m2sd dlcache disable
9. m2sd readahead 512 (512kb is the readahead value suggested for a class 4 sd card. If your have a better card then you may increase this value)
10. m2sd rmount enable
11. Reboot your device now (May take some time to boot)

When your device boots up, be sure to check the internal memory size. It should be almost equal to your sd-ext size. Enjoy your extended storage!

Another method: No need for any configuration using terminal. Just download and flash mounts2sd (no config needed).zip. Remember to reboot twice. Enjoy

----OR----
You can simply install this app from the playstore. (Warning: I haven't tested this!)
