I just did a fresh install of MIUI and got themes working, but i can't get the external sd card working. I am reading you have to partition it to ext3, but if i try partitioning in Rom Manager it partitions the internal card. Any help?

OK, so today I decide to root my LG G2X and install cynanogenmod 7 nightly build.
After, it install, I decide to restore my back up data but when I open Linda File manager, it only mount external sd card. So, I went to cynanogenmod setting and use internal storage. When I reboot the phone, now it only mounting the internal sd card not external sd card.
So, my question is it is possible to mount both internal and external sd card in cynanogenmod 7 nightly build? For example, use internal card as a location for apps installation and use external as media storage.
I had a partition for apps and one for swap memory on my sd card I removed it from my phone formatted it with minitool partition and now my phone wont recognize it, it is still being recognized by the computer and it is flashed in FAT32 format but by phone wont pick it up not on computer or clockwork mod recovery...what should I do ??/:crying::crying:
format your sd card and then try putting in your phone , also sd external partition should be ext2, ext3 or ext4. If this doesnt work try partitioning your sd card from recovery.
Hi all.... I haven't found specific answers to my questions so am posing them here.
I am running CM11
Can you expand your internal storage without doing an entire ext sd card to internal swap? I want to use only part of my ext SD card to enhance the internal storage.
Is there any point in formatting multiple partitions on the ext SD card as fat32 / ext4 / Linux swap anymore? I thought doing this would have part of the partition used for internal storage and part as the ext sd card storage. Formatting the SD card through CWM deletes all partitions and formats it all as FAT32 for external storage only.
Thanks and go Blaze haha

Thanks ink. I will look at this more tonight but I did use Partition Wizard Home and formatted the first partition as FAT32 which is recognized as the external SD card1 in CM11 but the 2nd EXT4 partition isn't recognized by the ROM it seems. Maybe I just don't know how it would be used but checking the storage in settings didn't have any change to internal.
I like to flash new roms every once in a while. I always keep the SD card as external storage and not adoptive, but everytime I flash a new rom the OS requires a format saying "Invalid Format". If I flash to the backup of the previous rom, the SD card reads fine. Is there some special formatting that needs to be done so that I won't have to format the SD card between fresh flashes?
Do you encrypt the SD card? What format has the SD card (FAT32, NTFS, UFS)?
Hi there. I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 1S with 16GB SD card. Previously I had partitioned my SD card with 2nd partition set to FAT type, which I used to link apps to SD card using Link2SD. My SD card could be read fine by my laptop when I plugged it in to my laptop with a USB connector (i.e. I could open both my internal storage as well as external SD card storage). Recently I had to reformat the SD card due to some issues with my phone, and I hence deleted the old partition and created a new 2nd partition in EXT2 format instead. The 2nd partition is readable on my phone and works with Link2SD to link apps to SD card like before, however when I plug into my laptop, I cannot see the SD card storage. I can only see the internal memory storage. Please advise how to fix this, if possible without reformatting, as I am unable to move files to and from the SD card storage if I can't see it. Thank you!
