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

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.

Hello i am newbi in this amazing world of android and i have A question were i can found the cwm recovery link becasu i looking fir that here and i can't found it thanks

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 ??

To avoid so much trouble just use a swap file.

im a bit confused about this...reformat the sd card 1st or do the steps of partitioning sd card? after partitioning sd card then reformat sd card again?

Do it from CWM recovery. It will format the card and partition it for app2sd and for swap. Just specify what sizes you want. Remember to backup your SD card.

It uses a swap file, not partition, hence there is no need for formatting or repartitioning .

True but its a hassle to just sit there waiting for the swap file to get created, especially if you want large sizes like 256Mb. Its also slower compared to a partition.

It doesn't take that long, and anyway since swap is already so slow the speed difference between partition and file is not much. Plus it is less hassle to create swap file, than repartitioning.

Wats the use of ext 2 partition?

May I know the use of SD card ext 2, ext 3 partitioning? I think we can Install apps on those partitions. Usually we can install apps on SD card directly. Then Wats the use of ext 2, ext 3 partitions ?

Partitioning SD card for GingerDX

Hi I would like to partition my SD card 8 GB class 4 and want to ready it for GingerDX latest with latest nAa kernel, can I use ext3 as third partition ? co'z right now I'm on eclair and I want to use link2sd later on.. right now it says "Blank or unsupported filesystem click to format the SD card" if I try partitioning the SD card.
p.s : what's the benefit of swap partition ?
Thanks in advance.

You can partition your SD card right from CWM recovery.
You can find info about swap here.

can't find the option to partition SD card in CWM ... using CWM 4, where to download the latest CWM for xperia x8 ?

+ partition like this
--------------------fat32-----------------|-----ext2/3/4---|--------Linux swap-----
#######Most important part is to set all partitions as "primary"(setting to "logical" cause "blank sdcard"error )

[Q] Transfer to SD?

Hello. I've just partitioned 256M of my 2GB SD card using CWM version 5.0.2.6 for s5830 . Now how do I transfer apps to SD? Also i have most of my apps on SD except for Facebook and Maps yet still the internal memory is 160/180 Thanks

Use link2sd
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium

Link2SD
Use the app Link2SD From the PlayStore. it's free and its easy to use

But Link2SD says i need to create 2 partitions and both as primary?? All i did was use CWM to create a 256M partition. What do u mean primary ? sorry i'm new to all this.

You now have two partitions. 256 mb ext3 and the remainder primary.
Link2sd will use the ext3.
256 is small though.

It is asking me to choose which partition. Is that ext2 or ext3?
EDIT: I chose ext2 and it rebooted my phone without asking me.

Cwm creates an ext3 partition. Reboot is normal to mount partition.
