[Q] EXT4 does not appear - HTC Sensation

Hi all, i'm on android revolution hd 3.1.1, i've create an ext4 patition an sdcard (1024mo) with partition wizard, set as primary, and cluster size as default.
But in my sensation, freespace don't see ext.
i must dl link2sd to link all my prog.
I've made a mistake?
Thank you!!

You can't see it as no custom ROMs on the Sensation use EXT partitions. We already have 1GB internal space

ok thank you, I just wanted to "relieve" the phone a bit, as the ROM supports ext.

Storage in my rom Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 SensationXL

Hello everyone, I just dowloaded and installed the rom: "Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 SensationXL". for my HTC HD2 with magldr and I realized that, it had say me, that it only have 30 MB of internal storage . I created a ext 3 partition with 4gb with the clockworkmod recovery for hd2, and adroid say me that. The rom is very good it is the best that I tested, and I like so much, but i can't install my applications. I put the link of the rom:

PD: Sorry for my very bad english, if you don't understand everything I wil try to explain it better .
Nobody can answer my question? Please it is important
First, how much is your ext3 partition. It is always better to habe 1GB ext3 ( ext4 is better ).
I have 4gb ext 3 and the android say me that my internal storadge is 900 mb. I check with my computer the partition and it is empty.
ext3 or ext4

Hi, I am new to this ROM to this whole tihng actually..actually was very pleased with opossum 2.3.7 linking my apps w/Link2SD but after some time somehow i found myself searching for new horizons (maybe its becoz i bought a 32 GB Class10 Rocker Baby SD :laugh: )
Anyway.. My question is; by the time this ROM is first released, the topic only refers and suggests to use EXT2 or EXT3 partition for EU users..(by the way I cannot perform a TMOUS install (with the help/suggestion of nqkoidrug) by selecting 380-383-385-395-400 MB s and 5 MB Cache to do what ph03n!x and kokotas did for DataOnEXT with DalvikOnNAND)
So that now i have a class10 SD card, is it possible to prefer EXT4 partition instead of EXT2/3 ??
Thnx,

meaning what? swap and ext4?
swap reduces your sd battery life, but it's said that it's not very noticeable, and it's needed with sense 3.5
ext4 just adds space for apps on sdcard as if they were on phone's rom
I mean swap, sorry.
What do you mean with reduce? And how can i swap my sdcard? Can you post me a thread please ? )

I just partitioned my MicroSD card with MiniTool.
First Partition: FAT
Second Partition: Ext2
My laptop recognizes the card through card reader and I can see the two partitions in MiniTool, but my phone (HTC Explorer) does not recognize it. Any suggestions?
Well how are you checking if your phone sees it. Some roms can't use sd2ext. Take a good file explorer like root explorer ans see if there's a folder names sd-ext

I simply use the phone's recovery (in my case 4EXT) , which will walk me thru everything, I didn't bother with a swap partition but rather a dataswap option (specific to my rom), and a 2GB sd-ext (Again supported by default on my rom). And used 4EXT to convert all my internal file systems to ext4 filetype instead of ext3 (again my rom supports it, but not all roms do).
Essentially you can partition SD and most everything else via ClockworkMod or 4EXT.
PS: Generally sd-ext should be the FIRST partition. (or second in the case of swap, sd-ext and fat32), since some Roms will not automatically recognize it if not placed in that order. thus another reason to do it via recovery.
Use the recovery on your phone to partition your SD card then plug your SD card into a Linux box and check to see if it's EXT4 using Gparted.
how to get sd-ext before fat32 in 4ext?

I'm running mimicry-1.4.0, 4ext touch, same as you. When I ask it to partition my new, 16gig, class 10 card, it asks:
size of first sd-ext, to which I reply 2048
size of second sf-ext, to which I reply skip
size of swap, which I also skip,
and then it does the remainder as fat32.
BUT...the fat partition is at the beginning of the card...not the order the app asked for my input...and I don't see how to change them.
Maybe not being first is okay with mimicry?
thanks for your help,
p-d
ps all my file systems are ext4 on the phone itself.

Older s2e may need a specific partition order but both clockwork and 4ext arrange in this order, and the enabler script in my signature needs no apps and works fine with mimicry.

[Q] Partitioning MicroSD for Link2SD

What is the best way to create 2 primary partitions for using Link2Sd on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
I have a 32 GB Micro SD card that needs the treatment.
Many thanks to all in advance.
Regards
Court
PS: I use mini tool home edition as a partitioning tool
which ROM ?
It depends on what ROM you are running. After trial and error ext4 was detected for my stock ICS and now works with CM10.1 too.
So partition it as 5 GB ext4 (more than sufficient ) and rest FAT. I too have 32 GB class 10 in this way via mintool partition.
PS: you cannot increase or decrease the size of ext4 using minitool once the partition is created. So plan properly while creating the partitions.

Google "gParted Live" and you'll find the cd. You can create your partition of EXT3 or EXT4. You can resize the partition as well. There are YouTube videos to help you see how to do it.
I don't know why you'd want Link2SD. It will permit you to store the app, cache and davlik in the ext partition instead of in the /data on the deviice. You likely have adequate storage in that device partition for those items. I think you you would do better with swapping /mnt/sdcard with /mnt/ExtSdCard.
I actually have tried both together and found no advantage to the Link2SD.

formatting SD card for particular ROM

Hi All
I'm looking to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234221 on to my galaxy ace and have a question about formatting the SD card for it.
It talks about ext-4 partition and I was wondering what size to format the partition if using an 8gb card?
I was thinking - 1gb for the ext-4 and the rest for fat32?
halp please
What class is your sdcard? Are you planning to use int2sd?

You must used the Fire Kernel because you don't have a 4Ext partition
and with Swap kernel and a Sdcard Class 6, you need a 4Ext partition.
So finally, it will depend of the choice of your kernel, and the better choice if you use the Swap kernel, it's to format all in 4Ext
And if you want an another answer, go to post here, you can do without problem

I am going to get a class 10 8gb card this weekend. the swap kernel is what I was going to use.
Why should I format the whole card in 4ext? If I do that, I won't be able to add files from my windows 7 PC will I??? I just don't know much about ext4. I do store some music and stuff on it.
Thanks so much for your help

Which recovery do you use ?
I wrote a mistake about to format whole sdard to 4Ext
1 - You must have 1 Fat32 partition and 1 EXT4 partition on your sdcard
2 - If you rather use a computer for creating and formatting partitions keep in mind that both partitions must be primary partitions (not logical)
3 - The recommended size of your EXT4 partition is depending on how many roms and apps you are going to install.. 512M is the minimal size
Go to one of the links that I've wrote above and sent your question.

Do this:
Firstly, remove the previously created partition
Then, using CWM Recovery, partition the SD Card
Now use any memory script(int2ext recommended) or use Applications like Mounts2SD
And use the appropriate steps to get increased internal memory !!
Hit thanks if I helped. !!
