[Need Help ] SD card partition unrecognized.

I have a problem. I have a 4GB sandisk sd card. Yesterday when I was on stock DDKQ8 ( with other apps installed ). After flashing cwm, I partitioned to have 1GB ext on my sd using cwm. Partitioning took unevenly very long time. But after completion, I connected phone to pc & on opening easus partition manager, it did not read any partition on my sd. I ran the partition recovery wizard but with no use. I tried resizing the primary partition ( now it was reduced to 2.67 GB ) but the option was grey ( unavailable ). Then I disconnected phone & flashed sgs2 rom. But during wiping, when I opted the wipe data/factory reset option, my phone got stuck at formatting sd-ext. I took out battery & tried repartitioning sd card via cwm. This time it was a bit faster & I got through the wiping quickly & flashed the rom. Flashed d2ext+ & rebooted. In storage option under settings, I found that my internal memory was successfully extended. I was able to install apps & everything was working normally. Thinking that my sd was back on track, I reconnected phone to pc just to verify that the partition was recognized by it. But to my surprise, easus still showed no partition. Now I'm stuck. How do I delete the partition without having to see it ? Will my sd be permanently restricted to reduced memory ? Please help.
Some additional info :
A couple of days ago my friend had brought a pen drive which contained some important files. On connecting it to my pc, windows asked me to scan & fix. I did, but later on data transfer to/from it got really slow & I saw that windows explorer wasn't responding. As he was from the neighbouring town, we couldn't afford to lose the data & somehow after random connecting & disconnecting, I managed to copy the files onto my pc. I formatted the pen drive but the slowpoke problem prevailed. And now I wonder if this in anyway has troubled my sd. Doubting this, I formatted my C:/ drive & reinstalled my windows, in case there were viruses. But the problem was still the same. Thought there might be viruses in my backup files. Ran a boot time scan using avast! for over 2hrs. Found a couple of minor pups. Deleted them & rebooted. But still the same. Unrecognized ( not shown at all, just the primary partition is being shown ) partition by easus. All the drivers are definitely correctly installed by me. I tried copying files to another sd of mine. Even this was awefully slow. Can anyone help me out ?

you can cwm partitions by wiping data and other things.
I recommend you to use mini tool partition wizard to make partitions

I already know that but thanks for replying anyway ! I some how managed to get back my sd to its full capacity but the data transfer from pc is extremely slow ( just 24kbps !!! ). I tried this on another pc but same result. So I'm sure it should be the problem with the sd itself. I had a 5 yr warranty on it. Will I get a replacement ?

Actually my friend, it doesn't matter what partition tool you use. As long as you know how to use it, you'll get the same results with each but thanks for trying to help !

store windows 8 on android.......ideas?

Hi all,
I had a freaky idea this morning. Windows 8 installations can also be turned into 'Windows to go' drives, meaning that you can run the whole os off a usb drive. I thought a lot about an idea and then i tried to implement it. Few basic things first though, windows 8 needs an ntfs formatted drive, which android (officially) doesnt support. Before i reached the android part though, i took my 32gb class 10 sd card and with a reader, made a 'windows to go' drive. I then booted into it and customized it for extreme performance. Once booted, it was zipping on the OS. Satisfied, i took out the card and inserted it into my galaxy note (running gb). Thats when i realized it had problems detecting it. I got past that issue too by following this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416923 . Then it could read the ntfs formatted sd card and with a bit of effort (the script had to be run every time after it disconnected), got it to mount as a UMS. Now i restarted my machine and went to the boot order (that gave me enough time to mount the card as UMS) and in the boot menu it showed me 2 options 'Android UMS Composite' and 'Android UMS Composite 1'. Sadly though, neither booted win 8 and went to the win 7 os on my hdd. What went wrong here? Could anybody help me to actually implement the idea? Just to check whether it could work? I dont plan to use it......but it would be cool just to think that it could work.
Cheers
Xyan

Ummm....anybody?

Ran out of Memory?

Hi All,
Just rooted and installed AzureROM CE on my Note 3, slot 1.
After using Helium to restore my apps, I noticed I was missing a few. I went to install Dropbox and it says there was no memory.
I looked at storage under settings, and it says the that 29.56 GB is required to run the system.
On my PC it shows that I have about 1/2 my internal storage left.
I was going to get a screenshot, but suddenly my Air Command isn't working... I'll have to try my stock ROM and see if that fixes things...
Any ideas?

OK, so running stock ROM fixes all of that - shows internal memory at 19.3GB free
I am going to reflash AzureROM and try Alliance as well....

[Q] Backup Image Strategy

Previously I had a device w/ an external 64 gb SD card and I kept several backups - a image of a fresh and another with apps and tweaks - for a couple of different ROMS. If things got rough I could fall back on a fresh image, or just start over.
Now I have one back up and I feel like that takes up an unreasonable amount of space.
I've purchased a micro USB storage device but it is not recognized in TWRP by the restore command.
What do you all do about backup images, where do you keep them? How many do you have? is there some external storage solution?

I have one. The one I took after upgrading to 4.4.2....before I rooted and installed gravity box. Its the only one I need. So it really isn't much space gone.
I don't see the need for more. Not with the moto x anyway.
Can always transfer it to a PC if you wanted to. Or as many as you want.

Moving apps SD CM 12.1

Hey Everyone
I have an S3 Mini, running the latest version of CM 12.1 (20151007)
I know there are a few bugs in 5.1.1
I have searched Google and xda but haven't had much luck.
I have approx.
1.6GB free space in my internal storage
2GB free space in my external storage
I'm trying to move apps to the SD card
I have tried the stock Method,
various apps to attempt to move to the SD card, or force the apps to move.
I have tried the settings in the apps to try different methods. force to SD, Link to SD, A2SD, apps to sd. (even root versions)
I keep getting an error saying I don't have enough space.
It will come up with the error no matter what the size, less than 1mb or 400mb +
I have tried factory resetting the device, nothing seems to work.
I can download fine to the SD card.
I don't really want to partition / format it... But I haven't formatted the SD card since before the device was rooted / stock firmware
On a side note since the update I have had an issue on two occasions with charging, tried 5 different cords, 3 wall sockets, a PC and the device wouldn't charge (happened suddenly as I took it off charge as I was going to my bedroom), till I factory reset the device then it charged perfectly, charger port in device is fine.

I have also tried erasing everything, dalvic cache, cache system data, reinstalling cm 12.1 from scratch. Excuse my spelling
