[Q] Question about partitioning sdcard and eMMC

My Phone: T-Mobile LG G2X
ROM: WhiteHawks latest MIUI port
ClockWork: 5.0.2.0
1) What is the best way to partition my sdcard as ext4 ?
2) what program should I use ?
3) What are the proper sizes of swp and ext ?
4) Is it safe to partition and format the internal eMMC if I want to wipe everything and start over.?
I do have a NV Flash backup on a separate sdcard with a full nandroid backup.
Please help with any of these questions if you know the answers

Format your sdcard using SD Formatter.
Unlike PC formatters, SD Formatter won't format the card's protected area, and also gives the card the best performance.

Mini tool partitioner is also a great alternative.

Or use recovery! It will partition as EXT4

Problem rooting ICS HKTW

Hi, i flashed the ICS HongKong/Taiwan because i want to install CM10.1 Kexec.
I'm using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35000737
I have installed the latest moto drivers, and i have activated usb debugging.
I open the .bat and says
<waiting for device>
sending boot 8192KB
Or something like that, but, never moves from there.
I'm using windows 8, but i tried the same in another pc with windows 7, and it happens almost the same.
PS: Can i install CM10.1 Kexec with Retail UAE?

PS: I think it fails at this line:
adb shell mv /data/local/12m/batch /data/local/12m/batch.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/12m/batch

no you didn't turned on usb debugging before starting too flash.
or manually flash the Chinese kernel then reboot then root using 4.0.4 root method then flash hktw kernel.
well it worked for me. is used this method to go on official miui becausei have mb one

Link2SD problem creating mount script with rooted D2203 (18.5.C.0.19)

Dear all,
I seem to have a problem creating the mount script for Link2SD
I have the same (or a variation of the) problem when using FAT32, ext2, ext3 and ext4.
The error for ext4 for instance:
Code:
Mount script cannot be created
Invalid argument mount:
Operation not permited
Some screenshots (may be usefull):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The last one is after a restart, link2sd gives a mount error with the option for a soft reboot (or recreate mount script, which leads to error). I can soft reboot and just use link2sd without problems (but without mount script).
The phone has a locked bootloader, is rooted and using a ftf downloaded with XperifFirm (D2203_Proximus (Vfe) BE_1289-2433_18.5.C.0.19_R6B) and flashed using flashtool.
Any ideas?
Is there maybe a way to manually create the mount script based on the last screenshot?
TIA

Do you have second partition on SD card in ext2 format?

What about your root? Do you have SuperSu or other app like KingRoot? Kingroot may not work correctly with Link2SD.
Check also if Link2SD have or have not been granted by the root app.

insert an sd card before using the camera

Hello Guys
I have this Moto G xt1032 (version whitout sdcard slot)
I used this cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip and open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170928.zip
I got this message when I tried to use the camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My guess is the mount point do not worked fine
So I made a ssh connection:
$: df
$: Vim /fstab.qcom
I tried other snapshots from lineageOS and CyanogenMod but the error is the same
I know some versions of this phone has sdcard slot, but mine don’t.
You guys have any clue to solve this? Thank you

I discover that /storage/emulated/0 or /sdcard has no DCIM folder, so I tried to create with no sucess this fodler, i got no permissions, even root on Terminal.
so I boot on TWRP and create folder there, sucess, but when android boots again I cant write any files there
falcon:/storage/emulated/0/DCIM # chmod 7777 /storage/emulated/0/DCIM -R
falcon:/storage/emulated/0/DCIM # touch 34
touch: '34': Permission denied

Solved!
Hi man, I had the same, the problem was I did format internal storage with that every folder was deleted, but I fixed, how come?
Install de rom stock and this fixed the folders problem and then you could flash your favorite rom

[SOLVED]How should I partition my android device? Should I use gpt or msdos?

if you dont know what are you doing , dont touch any partition

Try flashing stock firmware

If i'm not wrong, GPT is pretty common. It's pretty advanced format scheme than MBR ( AKA MSDOS ). GPT has features like backup partition table and naming/flag, supports larger disk than MBR - take note that with Android 6.0 the ability to adopt external storage media was introduced which uses GPT as default partition format.
