Yes, it is perfectly fine if you make one with gparted or mini tools... make sure you run this command in terminal before flashing a2sd...
mount | grep sd-ext
thanks to both
what mount | grep sd-ext exactly do?
aso my gparted already see my sdext partition ext4 if i partitioned it from recovery is that possible or an error?
That command checks if there exists an sd ext partition.
I don't know abt gparted but cwm formats the card and partitions it so it should not be a prob
I used minitools for partitioning
u can go for ext4 no harm in tht
if ur using mini tool make sure u keep all partitions as primary
also ext2/3/4 wont b detected on windows so dont panic if u dont see the partitions once done they r thr meant for ur phone nt windows
Without a2sd what is the exact command to convert partition to ext4 ? It can be very useful

yeah, but "problem" is after a restore. If we convert partition in ext4 after restore, all data already in partition remain on ext3, only new data will be on ext4.
So it will be good that cwm could format always sdext in ext4
Okay, a question from me...
I have a galaxy fit s5670, running a custom rom that came with darktremor a2sd pre-installed...
I created a partition of 1024mb on my 16gb card, and have enabled swap...but the apps that I install are still going in the phone memory...
Can you please help me out???

I believe that you are taking about the cache that will use your internal memory even if you have a2sd enabled. THough it is not recommended to do so unless needed (i.e. your memory is very low) you can move dalvik cache to sd-ext from APP2SDGUI app or though this simple command
su
a2sd cachesd
It will move dalvik cache to sd-ext.

Don't try anything eles.... Just install darktremor as said here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html
If possible format your sd-ext before installing darktermor app2sd. THen all you need to so is move dalvik to sd-ext as said above. And your internal memory will be totally empty. You can explorer /sd-ext/ folder using root explorer to see if a2sd is working properly.
After using link2sd for a day, I find that it is working, and it even allows u to specify which apps to move, and what all to move...
I did partition before using a2sd, and I understand the thing about the dalvik cache (moving which would make my device slower)...
Anyways, thanks for replying...

try this software for partition SD Card.. use Ext2 or other on file system. MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition on the Web
search on CNET Download. maybe helpfully
you can search in youtube "Cách phân vùng ext2 thẻ nhớ" and follow it
or you install ClockworkMod recovery
chose Recovery => advanced => Partition SD card
if sdcard have
1G => 128mb
2G =>256mb
4g=>512mb
8g=>1G
and the partition 2 is swap
you can chose 128 or 256
reboot and check in pc

Yes,you can.After that you can use S2E or Link2SD to config SD-ext.I gess you flash New Experience rom 9.9.1,it already has S2E and very smooth.

thanks... I tried to use it before and it creates a right ext 4 partition, but the rom (lenio rom v4) does not recognize the partition
I tried to label the partition "sd-ext" or with no label
but in both modes it does not work
incredible... I did the ext4 by minitool but the a2sd on lenio v4 does not recognize the sd-ext
update:
created ext4 by minitool partition wizard, but it seems that phone can't recognize it, coz the rom does not see the partition
is there something to do to make the phone create/see ext4 partitions?
tried the last attempt, with another CWM (5.0.2.8 touch ext)
I partitioned the SD, choosing ext4, but when I control, it's ext3
why that???
Some possible problems,

maybe the CWM failed to format it with ext4 file system,
or the ROM you use failed to identify ext4 file system, some guys told me there are ROMs that don't support the ex4 yet, you may want to read your ROM specification,
or somehow the ROM need additional script to read ext4 file system properly,
recently I've tried more than 10 times partitioning my SD cards, but most of it failed in attempts,
it won't be mounted as second partition, therefore I can't use Link 2 SD properly,
My ROM is PAC 22.1.0
I've tried partition tools: Minitool, CWM 5, AParted (SDCARD Partiton Tool) app, checked the partition table with Partition Table app, trying to mount second partiton manually with Android Terminal Emulator (using "mount" command), success using CWM.
I've tried ext2, ext3, ext4 partitions, but success only with FAT32 file system,
I think in the process I've delete some media in /system partition, maybe it creates problem since Link 2 SD need to modify some files in /system partition to mount the second partition,
I tried with Lenio vQuattro, partitioning with minitool, the sd-ext was correctly partitioned as ext4, but the phone did not saw the sd-ext. The rom is done to use only ext4.
So I went back to the most recent cm 10.1 (with ext3 and int2ext+) because this is my only phone and I need it to phone
Better use mini tool partition wizard..
You can choose the type of part,like ext2 ext3 or ext4..

Go to cwm recovery -> mounts & storage -> format sd-ext (It will format your second partition in ext3 format)
Reboot the phone and open link2sd and select ext3 as your second partition. If it still gives error go to more options in link2sd and recreate mount script and select ext4 and reboot phone
For full space problem, uninstall some unnecessary apps from /system and /data or move apps to sd card using Link2Sd

CWM Recovery v5.0.2.6 should have this option. I'm looking at it right now. Right below format /sdcard & Right Above mount USB Storage option is the option format /sd-ext
Anyway if you still can't find it in cwm, use minitool partition in windows to format the sd-ext partition in ext3 format. Link2sd has some issues in Jellyblast ROM in my experience. But it was solved for me by the method i explained to you in my last post. Also verify if you have got the latest version of link2sd.
Most importantly, please note that link2sd will only detect ext2 format if you are on stock kernel. It will detect ext3 & ext4 formats only if you are on Rafael's kernel

Hi guys Do I need a special version of int2ext in order to use it with Jelly Bean rom (in particular CM 10.1)? An ext4 partition will be fine for this use? Last but not least: to install this script is needed a special procedure (like mount /system and /data in recovery)? Thank you for your help and time Have a great life, peace!

1. Int2ext scripts work in JB
2. .ext4 is the best option
3. The procedure is always the same:
First of all create you sd-ext partition using MiniTool Partition
Code:
1. Backup your current data (optional)
2. Boot into CWM/Go back to CWM menu
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
5. Reboot system

You can create your sd-ext using your pc or CWM, I advise you to use your PC (MiniTools Partition). It's safe, easy and you can choose .ext4 format
Using CWM >> Format sd-ext command will wipe your sd-ext data, so don't worry about "re-format" your sd.ext, it won't change your sd-ext's system format
The best, the safest & the easiest way to create a partition on your SD card is always via your custom recovery. You can format it to the EXT4 file system using the EXT4 conversion tool by PSDNA. Mini partition tool killed my brand new 4GB class 4 SD card.
Also nothing special for Jelly Bean as @Viper The Ripper said. It is just the same drill & yeah, cronmod scripts support all android versions & the flashing procedure always remains the same. I recommend you to use INT2EXT+.

I created succesfully a 768mb EXT4 partition with Minitool Partition flawlessly. First I formatted the SD card with Windows. Than into Minitool Parition I deleted the whole FAT32 partition, created a new FAT32 partition set as active with 768mb unallocated. Last thing I did was allocate that 768mb as EXT4. All partition are created as primary, not logical. Also used diskinfo on android and got that 768mb working without problems. Hope my steps are good hints for you to avoid other dead SD cards

According to MiniTool Partition Wizard, yes, I have 1 FAT32 (about 30GB) and another Ext3 partition. However, the device doesn't read it, and I cannot partition through either TWRP or CWM. I'm testing Cronmod on CM10.1 now, will update.

TWRP or CWM should not be used to create a new ext partition if your sdcard already have another ext partition. Meaning you should have only one ext partition in your sdcard. So delete the ext3 partition and the fat32 partition, then create a single new fat32 partition on the 32BG sdcard. Now use the recovery mod to create the ext partition. That should work. Between Link2SD and CronMod, I would always go for CronMod. Then again its my opinion. Any way if you have any problem, just post here and I'll be glad to help

Oh my gosh. Link2SD is saying that there is no second partition.
Apparently the other init.d files are rwxr-xr-x, root, shell, but 40int2ext is rwxr-xr-x, root, root. Is that normal too?

You should know that CronMod and Link2SD doesn't work together. Since CronMod is present, Link2sd can't find the ext partition. What is the size of your ext partition. What rom are you using now? For every 512MB sd-ext partition you need a 100MB space on /data. So please limit your sd-ext patition to 1GB max.

As a last resort, try to reflash this rom. Make sure to backup all the data. Take the rom file, extract it, put 40int2ext file inside /system/etc/init.d/ and then compress it back. Now go to CWM, do "Wipe Data/ Factory reset", "Wipe cache partitions", Mount & Storage> "Format /system" and "Format /sd-ext", Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats". Now reflash the custom rom. This should pretty much solve it. Restore all the necessary data.

I've tried that already, and the device went into a bootloop. However, I used GParted to partition 777MB sd-ext, and the rest FAT32, and it boot up after flashing CM10.1 > GApps > CronMod INT2EXT4
The only problem was that the memory remained the same, and Partition info showed /sd-ext (EXT 0.00B/0.00B)
EDIT: For some reason sd-ext doesn't mount, but formats perfectly.

Have you tried flashing the CronMod from CWM? Can you give it a try? Also try to use INT2EXT+ as it is much more stable than others. Hope I Helped

When I flash it from CWM sometimes it somehow finishes without incident, but the file doesn't get copied.
