[Q] Ext4 Partition issues?

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.

[Q] Partition SD card using CWM recovery

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
Herpderp Defy.

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 ??

As with every storage media you can actually partition the mSD. By default it ships as a single partition that is FAT32 formatted (otherwise Microsoft couldn't play Mafia and press license fees out of Android phone manufacturers as the FAT file format is copyrighted by Microsoft).

You can partition the mSD in either ClockworkMod recovery or you can turn off your phone, take the mSD out of the phone and put it into a card reader and then partition the card on your computer by i.e. EASEUS Partition Manager (Windows) or gparted (Linux).

I don't know how you usually check if your hoe is working (oh how I love typos), but you can check if the SD card partitions are working this way:
- Boot the phone
- Once it's booted up and you have no warning about the SD card then the partition mounted at /mnt/sdcard works. To check if /mnt/sd-ext is also working either open the "Terminal", type "su" (without the quotes) followed by "mount" which will return all currently mounted devices.

If you create a sd-ext partition (USE SEARCH to know what this means!) you can move your apps out of the internal phone memory onto the sdcard (this actually even works without a designated sd-ext partition). However, you can't move each and every app to the SD ... apps coming with widgets, apps that start automatically upon boot, a widget or a live wallpaper can't be moved to the SD as it will stop working.
Swap on the SD (to have virtual memory - much like the "pagefile.sys" of Windows or the swap partition of Linux) only decreases the lifespan of your SD most likely considerably when there's a whole lotta swapping going on - apart from needing a custom kernel as the Stock doesn't support swap.

A Class 4 mSD isn't blazing fast, but it should be about sufficient. In general, the higher the number of the Class, the faster the card, the more fluid the I/O transfers.

Look into the "Advanced settings" menu - and note that not each version of CWM contains that functionality. CWM 4.0.1.5 that is in some thread around here does not have the partitioning capabilities, CWM 3.2.0.0 (as shipped with GingerDX) is able to perform it, CWM 5.x.x.x as in nAa's or Alfs' custom kernel is up to your for checking out.

Depends on what you want to do ...
- swap and a normal data partition
Create a ~256-512MB swap partition
Partition the rest as a FAT32 partition
- sd-ext and a normal data partition
Create a ~1GB ext3 or ext4 PRIMARY partition and name it "sd-ext" (w/o quotes)
Partition the rest as a FAT32 partition

Create a ~256-512MB swap partition

Partition the rest as a FAT32 partition
And ... this information could also be found by using the Forum search!

SD Card's partitions

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.

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.

But in another post they recommended "amonRA" to partition the sd.

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?

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"?

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

How can I mount both my partitions on windows xp using card reader or phone
