Can't you just back the files up?

do it with pc, use mini patition tools (http://iqbal244-android.blogspot.com/2011/06/tutorial-partisi-memori-si-mini.html), first backup all files to pc, then via card reader to make partition with mini partition tools....for the best result use mini partition tools via card reader

no it is not possible to partition SD card without wiping data you should copy your data to computer and use mini tool partition wizard
I'm using mini partition tool too.
but my data isn't gone after I create a partition. As long as your data still have its space, I think it's okay.
for example if you have 7.5 GB storage with 3 GB used by your data, it means you still have 4.5 GB which probably haven't touched by your data. you can create another partition on these space without thouching your data.
But it's much recommended to back up your data.

ext2 will be better.
1. make partition using CWM Recovery or via PC with Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
2. Make the small partition EXT2
3. Set other partition active.
4. Format them
5. Start phone and start Link2SD, it will promp to choose partion format type. Choose EXT2
6. Reboot
7. Start again Link2SD and you are ready to move applications to SD card.
Anything change when use link2sd

Hi I have Squadzones CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC5 and I tried to partition my SD card for using one of the apps to make internal storage bigger.
So I have a 2Gb SD card and want to use 512Mb for Increasing internal storage, Dalvik cache, System apps and all other apps (But I want system to think they are internal, know what I mean?) and then 1.5Gb for External Storage so I can use it for Music, downloads, pictures, videos etc... Basically the space my PC can see.
So what settings should I choose in CWM and which app is the best for increasing internal storage????
Thanks in advance
first partition sd card on pc using a partition manager like Easeus partition manage,minitool etc. Format the partktion by either FAT or ext3 file system.Now,download a free software from android market called 'link2sd'.
Advantage of using this is that you can select which apps to move to sd or which to not.You can also link any apps to sd-ext partition.
If I helped helped you press thanks.
If I use this how much space will I have left to store music and such or will this use let the whole 2 Gb be used and then use some of that for storing cache and such

If you have a 2gb card you can make a partition (for eg.512mb ext3 partition)by using the above mentioned ways.You can only link any application to that partition only. However you can force move any app to sd card by using link2sd.In that case some software may gets functionless if they are not meant to move to sd(here you can apply 'link'function of link2sd.)
Advantage of link2sd over darktreamer app2sd or s2e is that you can select which part of the app (app,data or delvic cache) should be linked to sd.Moreover it is the most easiest method.
hello guy
i want to ask u all
how can i partition my sd card using cwm?
i can see advanced > partition sd card
if can, can u show how to do it and what to do after done this step?
is it safe?
i want to do it via minitool partition but i do not have sd card reader
i'm using ketut blackhawk dxkt7 rom
You can partition the sd card using CWM recovery.
Be sure to backup your data as in the partition the sd card is formatted.
After selecting partition sd card the first thing you will see is the option to select the size of the partition that you want to make (generally select 1024=1gb).
Next will be the swap size. This is optional.
After selecting these options your sd card will be formatted with a 1gb ext partition.
Hope this helps.

I use CWM partitioning in conjunction with DTA2SD and it's awesome

I'm with SuperAce609 here. Look into my signature and find the link in which I've thanked him. After partitioning your SD card, the only thing you have to do is install S2E and reboot your SGA after you install any CM7 based Custom ROM. & boom! No matter if you install 100+ apps, you will never be out of internal memory.
use the search option.

Ok, this is my LG Optimus 3D system:
System ROM:1GB
Internal ROM: 1GB
Internal SD Card: 6GB
Ext SD Card: 32GB
I always facing "out of internal memory" problem. So, if I ever partition my SD Card vi CWM, what will change? Which part can be greater in size?

Can't. CWM makes ext3 partition, period.
You'd have to modify cwm to get it to partition in ext4 format.
I found this "4EXTRecovery" interesting for making ext4, just to make sure if anyone use and confirmed it work.

According to my experience.. cwm 5.0.2.6 for galaxy ace makes an ext2 partition.. It doesn't give any other ext option.. I don't know how is it possible to make ext3/4 partition using cwm..
By the way, what's the latest cwm version for galaxy ace ??

HELP if you know how to......
I have a 8GB SD Card.... and ext3 partition of 1GB on it.
Now i feel that 1 GB partition is too large and 700 MB of my card are getting waste.
Can i use Windows 7 Memory Storage tools to delete this partition and merge... ?
Or if there is any other way please tell.
Just format it and partition will be gone
Mini tool partition wizard also.

you can use any good partition manager and delete the partition you have created. And re-create the one with smaller size
I have the same problem.....deleting the partition with minitool partition didn't work .......I lost the partition space altogether ....had to struggle to restore the space

Simplest way is to use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"
With this app you can create/resize partition.
Hope this helps

next time use search before posting
partitioning will wipe all the data so better copy of to another storage
boot into recovery
then go to advanced
select partition sdcard
choose 512mb as the ext partition size
choose 0mb as swap size
you sdcard will be partitioned

Another way would be putting ur car into an sdcard reader and partition using mini tool partition wizard. Cwm wipes the data on your sdcard but mini tool doesn't. So if ur using Cwm then be sure to backup the content first!
Edit: putting your card in an sdcard reader

he said his sdcard is only of 4gb that's why I suggested to make ext part of 512mb
but in general it can be anything
