I'm currently having the EU issue with my phone and trying to partition my 16gb external sd card to flash on it. (I'm no longer have access to my internal one)
However, I'm not so sure why I'm not seeing the Partition SD card option under /advance in CWM ( my CWM version is 6.0.1.9) ???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I'm not sure if that works very well anyway... I recommend you use an external sd adapter with your computer.

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.

No. Install S2E and your life will be a whole lot easier.

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.

Thanks.
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 ??

tried that already.. its not working for me.. cause my internal sd is "partially damaged" it's still functioning but can't format or put any data on fat32 partition.. even i flash phone with sd inserted the program still goes in the internal sd...
Probably the most NOOBISH question ever... but here goes and any help would be greatly..... greatly appreciated.... ive rooted (woo hoo i know lol) ive installed CM9, all the stuff is on SD card, can i remove the SD card and re-partition it? i think ive set 25 out of my 32GB card as the wrong kind of memory
probably really stupid thing ive done lol
Yes you can repartition the external SD no hassles there...what do u mean all the stuff? Copy the stuff to your PC and format the SD card and repartition it.
I mean all the zip files for cm9 and cmw and kernel and gapps things are on my SD card, if I just remove the SD card all together from the phone and switch it on will it jot work? Is my phones os running directly from SD card do I still need the partition etc
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
The phone OS doesn't run from the SD card! Even if you had the .zip on the SD once you flash, the .zip has no say...else after you flash a ROM, the usable internal memory should change accordingly!
Ha haha sorry for the noobish replies ha its all new to me so now my phone is rooted and I have all the things I want on the device I can remove SD card and format it to just be external memory for the phone
Thank you

Hi! I have an 8 gb hummingbird, and I wonder if thete a way to move or even install apps or just some apps' data from internal sd to external one. For example, I installed Asphalt and now can't install Real racing because have about 500mb left.
Do I need to make some sdext partition on my sd? Basic sd swap seems like a little extreme and unreliable.
I'm running emmc cm10.1 stable.

You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 4. I have flashable zips there that will swap the internal and external SDs. After you flash it and reboot all new apps data like those game files will get stored on the external SD.

And then I'll need to move all the data from internal to external?
Also "For these swap zips to work, your SD must be formatted to fat32. " I have exFAT 64gb card, so there's a broblem.
And finally does "A 16. Swapping Internal and External Media Storage" from "Nook Color Tips Thread" will work on NookHD?
And what about CWM backups and flahable zips then, how can I backup and install zips from external sdcard?

Yes, you must move old data from internal to external if you want it automatically available to apps.
You will have to reformat it to fat32. Use SDFormatter free on the web.
And no, that nook color technique does not work on the HD/HD+.
And the swap does not effect CWM. But CWM has an option to use the external SD (for both backups and flashable zips).

OK, SDFormatter formats only in exFAT, windows cant format volumes more than 32gb in fat32, so when I find right foematting tool I think it will be all.
Also CWM does not understand exFAT, so FAT32 will solve that problem too.

I'm pretty sure SDFormatter does fat32 unless the 64GB is causing a problem.
Edit: it doesn't.

I have Nook HD +. I used the swap sd card zip. It shows internal storage as ext sd card and my sd card as sd card in root browser. But when I download apps they are all going to my external sd card. Am I doing something wrong? I have stock 2.2 rooted.
Thanks

Isn't that what you want by using the swap? For downloaded items to go to external SD? They would go to internal SD without the swap.
They are only downloaded to external temporarily until installed, then they are put on internal.
