I want to install RunnymedeMod and it requires that I have a 1GB Ext4 partition. I have an 8GB SD Card...
I use Minitool Partition to create a 1GB Ext4. I apply the changes... I take the ROM zip file and put it on my SD card. When I go to the Recovery to install it, I go to chose the Zip file and it isn't there...
I boot my phone back up and open my SD card's file on my PC. When I look, the partition is no longer there and the ROM zip isn't on my SD anymore... it is getting frustrating.
Any helpful ideas?
The reason you can't see the 1GB partition is because Windows cannot read ext partitions. I suggest you install 4ext recovery, then create an ext2 partition and then upgrade it to ext3 and the lastly ext4. This is your best bet to make sure it's partitioned correctly and smoothly.

So I have touch 4Ext Recovery... when I want to create partitions it says First Ext and Second Ext and then Swap size.
I have an 8GB SD and I need a 1GB Ext4 partition.

First ext: 1gb, skip second ext and skip swap. Then upgrade to ext3 and lastly ext4.

i have CM3.2 with his new recovery img (1.1)
i have seen alot of ways to do apps2sd, but what is easiest most stable way to do it with his ROMS
*i have unpartitioned 4gb Class 6 Card. Need a step by step that will go smooth with his ROM...thanks ahead of time
First partition your sd card so it has Fat32 & Ext3 (in that order). On my 4Gb I use 3.5Gb for storage (fat32) and 500Mb for apps2sd (ext3)
Upgrade to CM 3.4 (To support ext3) and load recovery and click the "move apps to sd"

I'm using CM 7.2 and I finally decide to partition my sd card.
I wanna ask how big I should create those partitions. I have 16gb sd card class 2
fat 32 size?
ext3/4 size?
swap size?
and which order I should create?
thx in advice
You can create them from cwm simply without problems
sdext 1GB
swap 64MB
Order is important?
for example fat32 partition 0, ext3 partition 1 and swap partition 2?

No, go in cwm, advanced, partitions sdcard.
cwm will make all. try to go in cwm so can you see the options
if you want use a different software like minitool partition, you can creat 3 partitions all primary partitions:
1) sdcard in fat32
2) sdext in ext3 or ext4
3) swap
I've partitioned my sd to 512ext but never reach 200mb used..
Sent from public phone using 10cents.
16gb? so big memory for me
Ext 512mb and swap 64mb are enough for apps I thinks that...
Ext4 is better than Ext3, so if you can use gparted live (or minitools) to create the Ext4

hi,
u can keep 512-1 gb as ex3 partition. u can use cwm. its better and simple.
and hey a question? u r having 16 gb ? i tried with 8gb and my phone hanged like anything.. how u managee 16gb ??/
I do nothing to manage 16gb, all works fine. I only set cache sd to 2mb
I have partition my sd with cmw (1024 ext, 64mb swap). now I have 128mb freed in my rom.
thx to all!!!

you re welcome buddy
Read this about how to partition your sd-card
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html
Also, Since you have 16 GB sdcard memory, best sizes should be 1-2 GB sd-ext, remaining FAT32, no swap.
Hi
I partition my SD card in nAa-11 recovery (256 SWAP and 768 EXT, 7 GB free), and now I can't restore it to his original condition - 8GB. Windows didn't see 8GB, just 7GB and I can format it, but it always shows 7GB as the total available space.
Any ideas, guys? I have to remount dis partitions in terminal emulator, or what?
You need to use a Partition Tool that supports Linux partitions, like GParted.
EDIT: A more easy way is repartitioning your SD from Recovery, setting SWAP and EXT to 0.
Use SDFormatter V3.1 and make sure you select format size adjustment ON option. A quick format should be ok.

use your android fone to format sd card.. in settings go to sd card and phone storage settings then unmount your sd card and then format it.. after formatting mount it back and now your partiotion was gone you can now see your 8 gb storage
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
try to mount your sdcard to your computer using a card reader, then re-format with GParted (if you're using Linux) or Mini Tool Partition Wizard (if you're using Windows)
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but:
I partitioned my memory card into 2 so I could install apps to sd card using Link2sd. The first partition where all the data was being saved got corrupted and had to be formated. In the process I have lost all the data that came on it originally. I have tried using the Android File Recovery, it does recovers all the files, but the directory structure is lost.
Is there any way I could get the data back that was there originally?
The partitions on card are in Fat32 format.
everytime i try and create a ext2/3/4 partition on my sd card the rom will then refuse to mount the sd card it says mounting sd card then sd card is safe to remove
it is partitioned correctly with primary as fat 32 6gb and a second logical partition of 512mb running ext2/3/4 all ofthem will not allow the rom to mount the sd card anyideas?
ok found the issuen i think it is detecting the ext3 partition as the main one and trys to loads this up first bu can as its ext not a fat32

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100 . You can partition your card directly from within the program. Your card will be wiped, so backup your data. Also, better to have your antivirus program disabled.
Or you can install the nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r3 or the nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r4 from that program as well, there's an option in the Advanced menu for partitioning.
CWM 4.0.1.5 and XRecovery don't have options for partitioning.

well finally got the dam x8toolbox to detect my phone and partiton the sd card ait was working fine till i took sd card out to add files back on to it and back to square one the phone wont mount the sd card as it detect the sd-ext partition first and tried and fails to mount that as storage
Without digging deeper into it, maybe you could just not take the card out and just use the USB to transfer the files.
What OS are you running on your computer?
Maybe u are using Linux swap that's why it is unmounting the SD card. & both partitions must be primary (not logical)(ext2/3/4)

Make the ext partition as PRIMARY, not as LOGICAL partition (as suggested in the previous post) This the problem source. (The logical partitions have different partition numbers)

If you are using mini tool partition wizard, just delete the partition and create it back.

I successfully installed Simplicity 3.5 SG2 Edition.
I wanted to use Link2Sd and followed the script from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082465
Anyway, could follow every part of this script, but when I want to apply the data2ext script i can't proceede, because when I made a backup in CWM, it sais that "No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext"
That is strange, because when I used Link2SD before it was successful when i chose ext2 as extential partition. There was no error-message.
So I in the prescription of the script use of Cronmod or Data2ext, the option in CWM where i can choose "mount and storage" --> there are only options for format "/data or /sdcard or /system or /cache" but no option "Format /data /sd-ext"
So how do I proceed?
Any solutions? Did i do something wrong?
I followed all steps of the threat mentioned above.

Sorry that I have to bother again.
But I partitioned the SD card under CWM and chose 2048mb as the size for the extention (anyway in CWM there is no option to chose how the extention would be named or if it should be a sd-ext or sdext2)
Anyway, it seems like link2sd is artifically putting my programs to the 2nd partition or to the sd (app2sd) <-- the program is not installed, how it is possible (I use simplicity 3.5 sg2 edition).
And the internal memory keeps rising, so I think link2sd is not really working, because the partition is not right.
Simplicity after a clean install has about 45 mb internal memory used.
Right now I installed some programs and it has bout 84 mb internal memory used.
May someone help me, so the script will work.
I haven't used the cronmod script, because the option is not given in CWM.
The description is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082465
But in another post they recommended "amonRA" to partition the sd.

So can someone explain a method which will give the SD the right extention and later on I can apply the cronmod script and help that my internal memory is not rising.

Try this method :
1. Download and install mini tool partition wizard on your pc/laptop.
2. Take out sd card from your phone and connect it to pc/laptop using card reader/adapter.
3. Backup your file from sd card to pc/laptop (just to be safe if anything goes wrong).
4. Open mini tool partition wizard.
5. Format your sdcard to FAT32.
6. Create 2nd partition with EXT3 format and set it as primary (2nd partition's size is up to you, 1GB is enough).
7. Apply changes.
8. Put back sd card into phone.
9. Install Link2sd and open it.
10. It will ask something like what format you wanna create to mount script, so choose EXT3.
11. Reboot your phone.
12. Done.
*Note : For step 6 & 10 it depend on which type ROM you are using. If you are using STOCK rom, choose FAT32. If you are using CUSTOM rom, choose EXT3.

XDA is for helping ppl
U got two options for internal memory [another one using both-->but i nvr tried that] sorry
1st option link2sd and this will work on every rom :good:
use this steps==> 1.create 2 partition on ur sd card , 1st one should b fat32/fat and 2ed one Ext2 or Ext 3 [select 1024mb if ur using cwm and 8gb or more sd card] ,using mani partition tool
2.download link2sd and open, will prompt a mount warning if u create partition corect [will be sdext2 not sd-ext] and select ur file system ext2 or 3 and reboot deice :good: done
3.open link2sd and select instalation preference to internal[for automatic link,work on most apps but rare on games-u hav to link manulay on that situation]
4.use multiselect and link all existing apps to 2ed partition, even if that in sd card , U MUST LINK EVERY APPS OR GAMES TO 2ED PARTITION note that
5.if u done everything right u must hav atleat 150+mb internal memory [ am using it and hav 140mb internal with 100 apps/games]
2ed option is Cronmod / Data2sdext
advantage is it will move everything to 2ed partition[means more internal memory] ,and disadvantage is litle bit lagg if ur sd card is not good :laugh:

Thank you very much.
I will try this option as you told me. I actually partitioned my card with CWM before, but it seems like that my CWM was out-dated.
Anyway, I have an 16 GB internal memory, is it also possible and good that I choose 2gb? I should use minitool wizard instead od CWM? As far as I could see it is not possible in CWM to decide what partition the CWM will make, so of course I can select 1024mb or more (and then 0M), but i can't select if it will be ext2 or ext3. And that is maybe my problem.
Because I partitioned the card through CWM before, selected 2048MB, 0M and everything worked. When I opened Link2SD i got asked the question and chose ext3, everything worked. Rebooted.
And after that transfered those files which should be on 2nd partition to there. Some other files were automatically put on SD-card after installation (due to app2sd). And here is my question, how can they be put there, if I didn't install app2sd on my phone? Was this app integrated into the Custom Rom "Simplicity v3.5 sg2"?
Ok the only problem what I didn't do was that I didn't change the installation preferences to internal memory.
But I would like to know? So it is not possible to have some programs on 2nd partition and others on the SD card? Because I heard the 2nd partition might be used as method to let programs run faster which used to be in internal memory of the phone and other programs, like apps can be installed on the sd-card, so they would be stored there and still can be runned.
So you suggest that I just put all apps and games on the 2nd partition, right?

I prefer mini tool partition wizard [bcoz u can select Ext2 or 3 or 4] ,cwm partition default by ext3[i guess] ... for a 16gb u can choose 2gb :good:
i dont think so ,Simplicity v3.5 sg2 not integrate app2sd by default..if ur using link2sd remove app2sd and proceed the steps i said earlier :laugh:
then about choose location..i recommend 2ed partition for all USER INSTALLED APPS/GAMES bcoz it will not interupt usb conection remember if app/games not link automatically ,u must link it manualy :good: u are done
