i just purchased a class 10 32Gb micro sd card to compliment this rom.
what would be the best formatting solution? (partition size, # of partitions) recovery gives you the option for 2 ext parts. is that a good idea?
I currently have it at: 1Gb ext, 1 Gb ext2, 512Mb swap & rest at FAT 32 using 4ext recovery.
I have already noticed an increase in speed just installing the card.
thank you
does anyone have any suggestions?

i have a 2 gb sd card which i plan to use as storage in my flashed tilt.
i formated it as fat32, but guess there is some problem doing that as my tilt has started giving me a critical alarm that there is very little space on the storage device - i have hardly used 50MB in the 2GB sd card being used as the storage !!
can someone advise me the file system (fat16 / fat32) to be used & its allocation unit size for use of the 2GB SD card in the tilt.
thank you

I use FAT32. card standard allocation unit size.
Use 128mb,256mb,512mb mSD to flash with.
Carlis
FAT32
I use FAT32...see the 8GB link in my signature for a link to a thread that has a great app that specifically formats the SD card in a proper way.
FAT32 is much more efficient.
2 days ago i have formated my htc touch cruise

If you use a sdhc card you need to format with FAT32.

I assume that you use a MicroSoft operating system and have selected the option FAT32 during formatting. MicroSDHC cards like your Sandisk 4Gb can only be fully used with the FAT32 option.
Have you checked the size of the card using MS.
As a test, try to store small files up to the storage capacity to check if you can write beyond the 2Gb.
If you can't store beyond the 2Gb your formatting with FAT32 has failed.

thank u very much
i have tried to use more than 2gb
and i can do that
You can used MicroSDHC cards, but only with the FAT32 and sector size 16kB. Sector size is very important for right functionality.
I use Kinqston 16 GB MicroSDHC card (Class 2) without any problems.
Hi i just bought a new micro sd card class 10 and 16gb
i have my phone s-off and rooted, 4ext Recovery 2.1.0 in boot, LBC MOD 0.5.3
So the questions is how should i format this new card to benefit at max.
Should i directly copy the old card content to the new card and then full format the card to ext4? Or what?
What should i put in Ext4 partition and what to put in fat32 if you suggest me to have both.
And the last question should i use the mount menu or just format it and the rest will be held by the phone..
Thanks

I wouldn't bother using a partition on the SD card....so simply format the entire thing as FAT32.
SD-EXT partitions are only really intended for older devices with reduced internal storage, we should have adequate. Are you running short of internal space?
I personally don't bother locating any applications on SD as they all fit in internal memory and run faster from there anyway!
So what about HD videos bigger than 4 gb? So you mean that we only need EXT4 only if the internal memory of Desire S is not enough. What about a Class 10 sd card speed VS the internal memory speed? any idea or test about that? if the class10 card is faster than the internal memory?
Afraid that I don't know any of that
Perhaps perform some tests and post the results back, I'd be interested in them

I am a Linux power user, so I am used to deal with Linux / Unix partitions, BUT Android partitioning scheme has always been a huge WTF to me, even if I resized partition of many Android phones with the lovely XDA guides.
Okay, let's start with what is easy to understand. Here you can read a good explanation of Android partitions
/boot
/system
/recovery
/data
/cache
/misc
Let's take as examply my Samsung Galaxy S5: it is selled in two versions 16 GB and 32 GB internal storage. Mine is 16 GB
I installed CyanogenMOD 13 on it, I installed a 128 GB micro SD card and I formatted it as internal storage (Andoird >= 6 feature).
Android >= 6 internal storage has been projected to expand the applications memory too
So I expected the phone to see the 128 GB micro SD card as the only memory storage. But it is not actually.
At the following URL https://s27.postimg.org/rmc4muymr/Android.jpg you can see the phone using two different storages:
Internal memory 11,59 GB
SD Sand Disk card 119 GB
I cannot understand why Android is still using the internal memory of the phone, even if it is actually using the SD card too (as I can see checking the size of /Android folder on the SD card).
Could you please help me understanding "the magic" behind Android storage paradigm?
Thank you

With that feature, apps that can be installed on "External" storage, will be installed there by default, same with pictures and videos, you now have the option to move apps AND its data (Unlike before in 5.x)
The phone will treat the SD card as internal storage (Only because of the way the SD is formatted) however, being that SD Cards are slow in design, Android will not classify it as "Actual" internal storage.
I hope this information helps you out!
