All are same. Ext3 is best choice.

Since your card has really less memory and you may require it for backups, songs, pictures, etc., I would advice you to install CM9.1 build#9 normally, no extensions. Really smooth, almost no bugs. Internal memory with this rom is a lot, all you will have to do is move your apps to sd card via titanium backup. No hassles, works great, enough internal memory for my usage.

Ext3 or ext4 both will be great..
i ll personally use ext3 partition..:good::good: working for me great..but you can go with both of them.But With recovery you can make only ext3 partition.. to create ext4 partition you have to use tools. i prefer minitool partition wizard..
and you can check the difference between the both partition system here

Press Thansks if i helped
Here is my suggestion ...
Ext4 or ext3.. preferably ext4...
Don't use recovery for partition..because it slow down the mem card speed...I think making swap partition will slow down the men card ..

So what to use to partition sd? I used gparted and I can't install any sense 4...tried and worked till now jaggyrom 3.2.1, 4.0.3, 4.1, cm9, cm10.
for a week i'm trying to install jaggyrom 1.2, flyrom, htc sense 4...no luck for me. It worked one day htc sense 4 but with sdext with ext2 filesystem, i'm very confuzed.

I saw that if I make ext2 partition I can install sense 4 rom, it's wierd...why it's not installing on ext4 filesysytem.
About partitioning: I've partitioned thru recovery and the fat32 is with 4k cluster size and starts from sector 1, but the sd card came from factory with fat32 with 32k cluster size and starts from sector 8192...I'm worry about performance and wear level of the sd card.
Didi anybody knows about proper format of a sd card???
If anyone has a problem partitioning through recovery simply download and use mini tool partition wizard for the pc.. There are many tutorials available on how to use it, search youtube or this forum.
Hi
I need help with my sd card second partition.
I had a second partition in my sd card with ext4 file system which i partitioned it using 4ext recovery and I linked most of my applications using link2sd. So life was great (not really) for a while until this morning when I rebooted my phone and now I cant have access to any of my applications because I get mount script error. and looks like my second partition does not exist or something like that. I tried to mount it using recovery but it failed too.
So my phone model is HTC sensation xe and i'm using stock mod with android 4.0.3
Ihope you can help me
Hi guys,
I recently got an old htc explorer and i am trying to make it possible to live with. I have a 64 GB sd card installed and i want to install Fly rom on it cause it has excellent reviews. When i try to partition my sd card using mini partition wizard the program wont allow me and when i try to do it using recovery image (A310, TWRP, CWM) it says complete but when i mount sd-ext it says error mounting. Anw i copied the files needed for this rom in my sd card (which is FAT32 formatted) and i install the rom. But the process gets stuck in boot screen and nothing happens .. What i' m i doing wrong?
Thanks

If you format it to FAT32 you can use it!
