Hi there,
Sorry if this is a silly question. But could someone tell me how to remove my EX3 partition and restore my SD card to it's full capacity. I am using a 16GB Transcend class 4 card. I have tried using Paragon Partition Manager and partition magic but both of them do not see the EX3 partition.
Also, does I am stuck on the HTC white screen every time I try and install a new ROM. I have formatted and tried a few different ROM loads of times but nothing seems to work :-( except for reverting back to a backup from a few months ago which does not have A2SD/A2SD+.
Could the EX3 partition be corrupt or have anything to do with this?
I am using an unbranded HTC Desire
Thank you!

Why do you need to partition buddy? Do you want multiple internal storages, or another reason? I may be able to help here with just a little more info.
i would like to partition the micro card.ive read that its better to have it partitioned?

In some cases, putting a separate partition on your SD card and formatting to etx3 can be beneficial, especially with the Galaxy S devices. In day-to-day use with others phones though, you'll benefit far more from the extra storage than having multiple partitions. Do you have a Galaxy S mate?
i have a htc aria.

I found this for you, from the Aria forum:
To Enable A2SD:
Backup your applications
Backup your sdcard
Partition your sdcard with ROM Manager with an ext partition option. (ROM manager is in Market)
This should start a special mode of clockwork recovery, which will partition the sdcard.
That's the only reason you'd want to partition your card, so that if you're running out of memory you can move some of your apps to the SD card. ROM Manager is very easy to use, but I'll be here if you need me Good luck!

To follow onto this question. 1st time droid user, limited linux knowledge. I am running 2.2 on a brand new optimus t(mobile). I plan on rooting using z4root and flashing ROM (maybe megatron). Sdcard new (unused) only thing I have done with the phone is install a bunch of apps (which I can replace) and load my contact/gmail account.
I notice that my phone indicates 143kb internal available, so I assume I will have space limitations soon. It is my understanding that one of the benefits or rooting and putting on custom rom is the ability to have your phone recognize portions of the sd card as internal memory and, thus, "create" more internal space.
Considering my phone and my desire, can I go through the process of 1) rooting (z4root) 2) backup (custom recovery) 3) flash new rom/kernal 4) dump back up from sdcard onto PC via card reader 5) Use your above method to partition card?
Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated, including partition types/sizes, process, procedure....or just tell me if I am an idiot and am way off base.
Thanks a lot
I always see IC roms looking for an ext-4 partition during installation. I never made one. Everything works fine, is that just to make apps moved to the SD faster, or? Basically wondering if I should do this and if so if any steps are needed other than using gparted or somesuch and wiping and reinstalling the ROM.
I appreciate your kind replies to my n00b question. I only ever made special SD partitions pre-froyo or to lag fix the SGS1.

You don't need to do anything. It is formatting the phone memory to ext4. Don't need to make ext4 on your SD card.

Hi Friends!
I have a 16GB class4 card, recently i faced some problems when i can't see the apps installed on my card(partritioned in ext4), so instead of worrying about it all i did was reinstalling the apps in the remaining space of the card(i was still experimenting with ROMs, And i accept I'm a Sloth), this happened to me for a couple of times. Now, I don't want to lose my data in the FAT32 part and want to know that if there's any way of formating the ext partrition without disturbing the FAT32 one
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom with me!!
(and i know i would look like a complete idiot if there's something largely famous solution of it, I don't know of *PS- I'm aware of backing up and restoring data but thats not the solution i need)
