If you download ROM Manager from the market, you can partition your SD card. Just keep in mind when you partition your SD card all of your files are deleted, so make a backup of SD card prior to partitioning, then restore after. Hope that helps.

So im considering upgrading my SD card and going to a 16gig one from an 8gig one. I have Move2SD Enabler and most of my downloaded apps over on the SD card. What would happen if i copied everything from my current SD card and just dropped it onto a brand new 16gig one and inserted that into my phone? Would i not notice anything or would it break all those apps?
any help? Im sure there is a quick answer to this.

Hi,
I have upgraded my SD card by these steps:
- Make the titanium back up and copy all contents of your SDcard to the pc.
- Then change the SDcard for the new one & format it in your phone.
- After formatting, copy the saved contents from the pc back to your new SDcard.

On the ext partition? One option is to use nandroid--it will make a tar file (I think it's called "SD Data" in the nandroid menu, but I'm not sure). Or if you use linux, you can mount and backup the ext partition directly.
Thanks....

Hey , I am using custom rom (Jaggy Rom) on my HTC explorer, its working perfectly. I am using 2GB card, but where is my 512 mb gone i mean , apps are automatically installed in SD-card but in FAT partition, so question is what is ext-4 partition for? Where it is used?
And 2ndly i am also planning to change my sd-card from 2gb to 4gb, can u help plz. Thanx
if you have created a partition in the SD card you need to use a memory increasing script like Mount2SD or Ungaze...when you install this script the 512MB of the ext-4 partition will show up as your phone's internal memory.

Thanks for reply, mount2SD is preinstalled in jaggyrom 4.1, and will you help me on changing my SD card?
and how can i confirm if apps are installing on SD card. Mount2SD is installed, and i think script is working , because my phone is showing constant internal memory on installing apps (i.e about 160 mb even if i install apps or uninstall them)
changing your SD card as in? what are you asking,please be clear...
and in Mount2SD it usually shows the partition memory added up in the internal memory.I haven't installed Jaggyrom anytime but i have used Mount2SD and it always showed me the partition memory as a part of my internal memory....so not sure what's wrong.
Download disk usage app from play store..it will show how much memory is used in your SD card as well as your internal memory..just so you will get a clear idea

Changing my SD cards mean i want to switch the card, i m using 2gb currently and i want to replace with 4gb or 8gb
If you want to replace it make sure you buy a class 10 SD card..because most of people using sense based ROM are experiencing random reboots with class 4 SD cards...class 10 SD cards are much faster while transfering files...I would recommend 8GB class 10 SD card.
Alright but i have installed custom rom. When i take out my card from phone it dosn't works, and i want to copy previous sd-ext partition data to new card can u help how can i
I don't think so that any of the CWM or TWRP recovery supports the back-up of SD-ext..I would rather recommend you to use Titanium back-up to create back-up of all your current apps and than transfer the titanium back-up folder in your SD-card to your PC/laptop and than insert your new SD card and paste that titanium back-up folder which contains the back of all your apps (including apps in SD-ext) and download the titanium back-up app via play store and restore those apps.
Well thanx, What if i clone/copy my old ext partition to my new card's ext partition?
I don't think that will work. the best option you have is to make a titanium backup. if you don't wanna do that then save your sd card data ( data in fat 32 partition) and paste that in your new card. it will save you game progress, but titanium backup is the best way to go.
Well, that means i have to make a titanium backup and thn again install the custom rom i wil lose my settings

Hmmm... that so difficult, but apps like Link2SD or FolderMount can help you

You can create ext partition on sdcard via Partition Wizard. It works for me.

I doubt Android will recognize (and use) an ext partition in the micro SD without telling it to do so. What you'll need to do is the following:
- Root your phone
- Partition the SD card
- Install Link2SD
- Tell Link2SD to put the new apps in the external partition. You can also move manually int the SD card the apps you like, and then they stay there.
Maybe it's possible to modify some system scripts to mount the external partition as the main partition, but that must be done before Android kicks in (i.e. just before the init boot process ends). I made an /etc/init.d script for GingerBread that was generic enough (it worked on different phones), but with the rooting methods (and scripts) we have for our phone on KitKat I think any script in /etc/init.d gets executed too late for it.
Still, Link2SD is your best option. It works just fine. Otherwise, if you want to install games with large obb files you can use Folder Mount. You still need root but there is no need to partition the SD card. Also it is smart enough to recognize which folders should be mounted (up to 2 in the free version).
Hi,
You could try to install xposed and Xinternalsd module Works fine for me
Before, I use foldermount but, xinternalsd do the job for free
hey guys i kinda screwed something up, i was going to swap from using my sd card internal storage to portable so i backed up the data folder and the obb folder, then i formatted the sd card to portable storage and then i realised that there was no where near enough space for all my apps and i found out you cant move them to the sd card so i switched the sd card back to internal storage.
so formatted the sd card but now when i use es file explorer ti says the the card cannot be found so i cant set thing back to how they were?
any idea how to get the sd card to work as it did?
What format is your SD card? You may have formatted it wrong.

i just checked and my sd card is formatted to f2fs mate but it is working now somehow
You optionally need twrp with f2fs support, you can find it on xda, not on twrp.me. @robgee789
I think you need only twrp:
