okay i think i did somthing wrong really, when i inserted it on my phone, it located the big part which is the fat 32 as internal memory, and then the small part which i set as ext2 became the sd card. now minitool partition wizard can detect it again.. im gonna try to fix it
Delete both the FAT32 & SD ext partition using mini partition tool. Then right click on your SD card & select create & then FAT32. Now select the full disc size ( by either moving the slider or by typing in the partition size to be created manually ) . Now select apply. Unplug SD card & replug. You card must be detected by the computer. Put it back into your phone, reboot to recovery. Then, advanced ---> partition SD card. Select your desired SD ext size, I recommend 512 MB ( more than enough to store apps ) & swap size zero ( swap kills SD card ) . Wait till the process completes, do not press anything. Once done, reboot. Your sd card is on the verge of dying away now. So don't use partitioning tools any further else they'll kill your SD card like they killed mine. Recovery is always your friend.

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.

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.
How to partition SD card for App2SD
The first method that we are going to discuss is using windows and the second method can be directly used from your Android phone.
Note: Before proceeding to further steps it is mandatory that you back up your SD card data on your system. You will lose all your data during the format.
Using Windows
Things required:
Download and install the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition.
Keep the SD card ready in an external card reader.
What is MiniTool Partition Wizard and how to use it?
MiniTool Partition Wizard is a freeware windows desktop application. It not only helps in formatting SD cards in several formats but also is complete disk management software that offers tons of useful features. Using this application is simple.
It can work with pre allotted tasks; as a result you do not have to sit and wait to perform operations turn by turn. Hence make you choices and apply them at once, no need to look back.
Once you have got this software installed proceed to the next steps:
Put the card reader in usb with the SD inserted.
Open MiniTool Partition Wizard and you will see the SD card.
Select it by a single click and right click on the drive. From right click options select delete.
Now you will see the whole space as unallocated. Right click on it and create.
Now the first partition to be created is the FAT 32. Create it as primary.
Select space you want for normal SD leaving space for the EXT 4 partition.
Once the above step is done again click on the left over unallocated partition and create again. Click ok on any warning and make the partition as logical and in EXT 4. The size of this partition is already decided from the FAT 32 partition.
After completing all these steps click on Apply button on right hand upper menu. Sit back and wait for the application to complete its job.
Using Android Phone
Things required:
Clock Work Mod Recovery- Installation Guide.
Working SD card inserted into phone.
After getting the above things ready, proceed with the given steps:
Boot into CWM (keep Middle button + Power button pressed in off state).
Scroll down to advance options (second last option).
In Advance and Debugging Menu go to Partition SD Card (second last option).
Select EXT and swap partition size according to your needs and overall size of the SD card.
Wait till the process completes. You will get a success message if things are done......
CAN I USE THIS METHOD TO PARTITION MY SD CARD???
Yea but note its for the wrong phone, I made a tut in the section for it
BB is using Xparent Tapatalk ICS Blue
Thought I will share this simple and very effective method with all folks, I guess some of you might have known this method, I am sure there are other ways (via CWM which I tried few months back and ended up wiping my SD card data :crying, but I could'nt find a simpler guide like this one for "learner' like me
No need to delete any of your existing favourite apps to carve out space for a new one.No running out of memory issues.
All you need to have is:
A SD card of sufficient capacity (preferably,class 4 or higher)
A rooted phone
SD card reader (you can do the steps below with the SD card in the phone connected via USB)
A PC running Windows
BACK UP YOUR CONTENTS ON THE SD CARD TO A SAFE LOCATION IN CASE YOU NEED TO REVERT AGAIN. THE SD CARD WILL BE FORMATTED DURING THE PROCESS. NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SKIP THIS STEP AND LOSE YOUR DATA !!!
Now follow these steps..
First of all,you have to partition your SD card.To do this,first search (via google on your PC) download & install Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
Connect your SD card to the pc (via a card reader/via phone).Your pc and the wizard will detect the sd card.
In the Mini Tool Partition Wizard,right click on your SD card and select delete. Take care that you do not mess with any other hard drive or partition on your PC and select only the SD card
Now,you will have whole of the space on your sd card as unallocated.
Right click on it and select create.
A popup will open,in that box,select the partition as primary,file system as FAT (if your sd card is below 4GB) or FAT32 (if your sd card is of more than 4GB capacity).
You can size any amount of the SD card for this partition ; this will be the SD card space in which you eill eventually store your music, photos etc. Make sure you leave about 512 MB or more space (upto 1Gb is good enough) for the next partition.
Select done.
Right click on the unallocated space and again click create.This time too,select Primary but change the file system to Ext2,Ext3 or Ext4 (Ext2 is recommended as most ROMs work fine with it)
Click apply changes and the process will take a few minutes, let it complete.
After it is done, search for link2sd on Google play and install the app on your device.
On the first launch, it will ask for root permissions and then, will ask you the file system of the Ext partition, choose the Ext partition that you created, accordingly.
Sort the apps according to size, do a multi-select and start linking them and voila, you can now Install more and more apps without filling your phone memory, thus the internal memory of your phone is increased to the size of the ext partition you create. Once done reboot the phone and enjoy using normally
Use common sense and move only apps that you have downloaded and installed, not system apps, launcher themes etc which are very much required in the phone memory
In link2sd settings select auto link for any new apps that you will install, in future.
Another super benefit ! When you turn USB storage on, all the apps on your sd will keep working and so well be the widgets
This method should work for all phones.
Enjoy !!!...

my words mean that for example i downloaded viber and before i download this program i went to see my internal storage i found it 25m.b. free on my internal storage and after i downloaded this program"viber" i opened link2sd i found it in my sd card and a lso opened my internal storage i found it became 19m.b. and i cant download a lot of apps because my internal storage of my phone became little so yr method cant benifit me. so what can i do to stop apps to take a space on my internal torage?
Guyz,
Seriously bugged with this low internal memory. pls tell me step by step method how to partition my memory card to two n store apps.
I had previously read a thread from XDA developer only and followed steps which made my SD card damaged.
What i did was
1. Backed up SD card contents to PC
2. Downloaded link2sd app to phone.
3. Downloaded root file to phone.
4. Removed SD card and using mini tool s/w made 2nd partition and made it primary and other as logical (Partition was created using FAT32 - 4gb card)
5. Inserted SD card back to phone to copy roof file and link apps to SD card using linktoSD app. But 1ce i inserted SD card it showed memory card crashed.
So pls tell me detailed steps to make it possible. pls pls.. will be a big help.
ADMIN pls help me out by directing to detailed steps.
Regards
Arun
Arun, do the following:
Using Mini tool
Partition 1 will be FAT32 as Primary (For storing your media files)
Partition 2 will be ext3 as Primary (For storing your apps)
Remember, Both partition will be PRIMARY. (None of them will be Logical)
Additional note: Use a card reader, don't go for USB mount.
That should be it.
Q: May I know which ROM are you using with Link2SD?
Use CWM recovery to partition sd card.
Sent from my GT-S5830
Use any partition tools other than the windows native one, basically any that can format your second partition to ext3 or ext 4. Fat32 actually works but not recommended. You should plug in your SD card directly into the computer either by using a card reader or a SD card slot. That will then allow you to partition correctly.
There should be 2 partitions, both primary partitions, make sure that you backup your data before doing any partitioning. Windows will only recognise the first primary partition and mount it. So preferably you should have your data partition in front, and the second partition for your applications. The size of your second partition should be around 512mb.
Once you are done, reboot your phone and launch Link2SD, it should prompt you to ask for the filesystem of your second partition, select accordingly. Then it will begin mounting the scripts, followed by requesting to reboot. After a reboot, open up Link2SD and check the memory status, you should have additional sdext listed there.
Start moving your apps by creating link.
Note: make sure that you have rooted your phone correctly

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.

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