I used Link2SD first to create a partition , it did create a external partition but it showed me every time that the script couldn't be mounted.I tried it with ext2/3/4 as well as FAT 32/16 but no use.Now I want to repartition my SD card and want to try it again with d2ext.How to repartition my card? I tried to format it after creating a back up but it is still showing that it has a external partition. plus, I am not getting the option of 'partition sd card' in the advanced menu in the recovery.
What to do?
can u be more precise!
Use MiniTool partition manager(computer) for it.
Create partition with FAT32 of desired space.
Insert SD card in phone
And open link2SD, it will ask you for script.
Try with Fat32 or ext2.
It should work.

I need to partition my SD card and keep one of the partitions as ext3.
I resized the SD card, but i don't know how to change the unallocated space to ext3. I'm using MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Someone please help.
It might be just easier to redo from start using this guide: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/293461/how-to-partition-sdcard/
Cant we just use CWM??
edit: nevermind I decided to test that and ended up deleting my whole SD card. F*ck me -______-
Whenever I start up CWM and go to "apply zip from sd card", it says that there is no sd card in place. Is this a problem with my microSD? I'm using a PNY 16gig
Can you see your micro sd card under normal circumstance?
ie when using a file manager can you navigate to Removable/sdcard?
make sure you didn't accident unmount it
Other thing would be to check if the sd cards is formatted to fat32?

Sometimes, all you need to do is create a partition on the microsd card in the first place.
i was messing around with creating a swap partition on my SD (no kernel support.) and i found that cwm doesnt like it when the first partition is allocated for swap.

moving apps to sd-ext isnt as helpful as dalvik cache to sd-ext... i just left it at that.
to remove sd-ext using windows, open disk management and delete all the partitions and create a new single partition.

For remove I use USB adapter for an SD Card. Install on Windows Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home and deleting partition or create new partitions on the SD Card.
Or you can simply partition using ClockWorkMod Recovery....
Its easy and fast.....
Make sure you take a backup of your data before partitioning, cause it will probably get erased.....
try using free paragon partition manager. I used it to remove ext partition.

Hi all,
I have several questions concerning SD-EXT partition.
Is SD-EXT partition still useful in ICS?
I partitionned my SD card with 4EXT (recovery): one partition of 4GB in EXT3 format, and remaining space as FAT32. I tried several browser apps (ES Explorer, Astro and Root Explorer) but none of them shows "/SD-Ext" root directory, is there something to do to show it?
When I choose to move an application to SD Card, it seems that my application is moved to my FAT32 partition in "\.android_secure" directory with a "*.ASEC" file extension, so it seems that my SD-EXT partition is not used! How to move application to SD-EXT partition?
(optional) Is SD-EXT partition still available to OS when SD Card is mounted in USB with the computer (maybe a stupid question) ?
(optional) In 4EXT, what is the effect of mounting or unmounting "/cache", "/sdcard", "/sd-ext", etc. ?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi,
Sensation has 1 GB of internal space.
There is no longer any need for ext 3 or 4 partitions on the sd card.
Format the card to FAT 32,and enjoy ALL of the space for music,films,pictures,backups,etc.
c'est bien ça.

I don't understand why do you need ext partition for sensation. It has enough memory for most of the app you needed. All games u can install to sd card. No need for ext at all. I tried to use ext before had lots of problems so would recommend just don't use.

Thanks all, it seems that you all agree to say that SD-EXT is useless with "Sensation", so I'll probably give up with this feature...
As I like to understand things in general, it would be great if an expert could explain why I don't see my SD-EXT partition (created with 4EXT) with any of the most known browser, and how to move Apps to SD-EXT instead of "\.android_secure" of my FAT32 partition...
I am NOT an expert ,hope you don't mind , but this is how I install apps to my sd card. I believe you have the ability to control there destination with this app. there are SEVERAL applications in the play store for rooted devices to move applications to sd card. I prefer one called links to SD because it does batch installations or un installations if need be to the SD card. It's very easy to use. I love it when changing over to a new SD card . I can simply batch install ALL the applications I want to my SD card in one step. Hope this helps. Best wishes .

Thanks for your reply but just for your information, I also tried some apps from the Play Store (APP2SD, APP 2 SD), but they all do the same action as the built-in function "move to SD" that can be found in "Settings=>Applications" that's to say move the app to "\.android_secure" and not to my SD-EXT partition.
Best wishes.

if cwm:
go to advanced, partition sdcard, set size to zero, partition....
it will automatically make it as the only partition, fat32.
if twrp,
advanced>partitionsdcard>set size to zero> partition.
again, automatically, sd-ext will be removed and your sdcard will be *unpartitioned*.

THANKS A LOT ! :good:
False
CWM doesn't have a zero MB partition size option.
u can try easeus partition manager also for interactive partitioning/nonparticipating

Either try getting it done through recovery or else use Partition software on PC like Minitool Partition Wizard, EaseUS Partition Manager etc.
erase sd card from android..simple..
