I need to know what else my internal storage can be formatted to besides FAT32. i accidentally did this a while ago formatting it through Disk Utility (mac OSX) and i need to transfer a file larger than 4gb to it but FAT32 has a 4gb cap to it i assume. Any help?

Anyone Know how to delete "APP2SD" from my sdcard?
I've Already made some partitions on my microSD 2GB, after I've finished the partitions, my storage in my MicroSD card change from 2GB to 1.5GB.
and, last day, i bought new MicroSD 4GB, and I put my 1.5GB SDCard, and put into my Windows Mobile Omnia Pro.
and I wanna turn back my 1.5GB into 2GB again.
but how?I've already format it, and I've already made 0mb partitions from Recovery,but it's still read 1.5GB...
any suggestions?
you got to make new partitions...
your ext partition covers 512MB which leaves 1.5gig for FAT...so even if you formatt is, it will stay at 1.5...
make new partitions in recovery menu...0 MB ext, 0 MB swap, remaining FAT
get gparted in Linux. your apps2sd partition can not be seen by Windows, so formatting is not an option.
salut!
i had 4GB microSD in my HTC
i changed in to 8GB
i decided to pass 4GB to mom for her nokia 3109/3110
now the problem is: 3109/3110 can operate only 2GB FAT16.
how can i use 4GB partially, formatting it for 2GB FAT16.
i tried format.com on my WinXPHome
Code:
format e: /fs:fat16 /a:32768 (for 2GB)
format e: /fs:fat16 /a:16384 (for 1GB)
but it always substitute fat16 for fat32 to use entire volume of 4GB.
i tried "SD Memory Card Formatting Software Ver.2.0". but it does not have any size options, and formats entire 4GB
nokia 3109/3110 cannot detect 4GB microSD and format it as it desires.
the question is:
how can i format 4GB microSD for lesser volume with FAT16 so nokia3109/3110 can use it?
Hi,
I am now using a 8GB SD card for my phone (around 6GB FAT32 and 1GB EXT2).
Now I am going to change into a new 16GB SD card (that I will create 1GB EXT2 partition soon)
Can anybody tell me how I can move the EXT2 partition from the old card to new new one using my pc?Thanks!
The only way I know of to do it with a pc would be to use a Linux distro, live or otherwise, then read the data from the ext partitions and copy it over manually if you can have both cards hooked in at the same time (one in a reader one in the phone).
Thanks but my Desktop is running Windows 7,
is there any alternative solutions?
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

You can partition your SD card on your pc into pieces that android won't recognize..follow this as a guide..the program is fantastic

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.
OK, I don't know the proper terminology but hopefully you can follow my description below.
Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge (SM-J327P Boost Mobile) Phone
Android v6.0.1
Unmodified, unrooted because no one knows how to root this phone.
Phone has (had) 16GB SD Memory card installed. 8GB is "partitioned" as "Fake Internal Memory", 8GB as "USB Storage Memory". I used up the 8GB Fake Internal Memory. I bought a 32GB SD Card (came preformatted as one 32FAT partition with 64K sector clusters!). I unmounted the 16GB SD Card made copy of the contents to the new 32GB SD Card. Installed the new 32GB SD Card into the phone. Turned the phone on and it worked fine. All the apps stored in Fake Internal Memory work as well as the files on the USB Storage Memory. However the Fake Internal Memory was only 8GB, the same size as it was on the 16GB SD Card! The USB Storage Memory had increased from 8GB to 24GB. The whole reason I got the 32GB SD Card was to increase the size of the Fake Internal Memory not the USB Storage Memory.
So my question is: Is there anyway to increase the size (partition?) of the Fake Internal Memory by stealing some from the USB Storage Memory? Remember the phone can't be rooted.
Note: I removed the working 32GB SD Card (tried both mounted and unmounted) from the phone and put in the computer's USB port but the entire SD Card was one 32FAT partition. So the partition programs I have on the computer wouldn't work on it. Apparently the .android_secure file contains the Fake Internal Memory apps and are not stored in it's own partition.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it's got 2 partitions on it then any decent partitioning tool should be able to recognise and expand/reduce the size of the partitions.
It's irrelevant what files are stored where as the partitioning program is dealing with blocks of memory not files.
Mini partition tool should be able to deal with this or something like paragon partition manager or Easus partition master.
I don't know how to fix it but here is a root guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-painless-root-samsung-j3-emerge-t3573551
