ext2 partitions only apply to the neopeek builds - they have nothing to do with mainline XDAndroid. ext3 is a journaled file system, and you shouldn't format an SD card with it.

The app is designed for native Android devices - so what it's seeing is not what is there. We loop mount the disk images, so the system knows nothing about how it's installed. Therefore, some apps like that will think they can move stuff around, when in reality they're doing nothing.

If they are doing anything, they'd be moving the app from your data.img (which is on your SD card already, but what the app thinks is your phone's storage) to another location on your SD card, like at the root /sdcard.
