Is it possible to use ext3 formatted sdcard for storing everything in android. Can applications access ext3 sdcard just the way they access fat32 sdcard?
I'm having unofficial cyanogenmod10 on my device with armv6 CPU.

You can use titanium back up to move apps to you're sd card our use link2sd, which requires you put a ext partition on your sd.

be careful using link2sd on GB based roms.
There are issues with the auxiliary SD ext partition not being mounted in time to be cached when the GB slurps the available applications.

I am using links2sd and it says 2nd parking not found what does that mean? How do I partioin correctly?

You can partition in recovery but it will format your sd!
when you partition your sd card thru cwm it creates a ext3 filesystem so make sure you choose that in link2sd settings when it asks you.
Is there any script for increasing internal memory supporting FAT32 partition? cause when I rooted the phone I partitioned the 8 gb sd card with 2gb FAT32. If not, can I convert FAT32 into ext partition? How?
Use link2sd for fat or fat32. And you can convert this partition to ext by using easyus partition manager.
Hit thanks if I helped you.

Found the solution. Partitioned using the cwm recovery. Now I have 5.6 gb fat and 2057 mb as ext.
Hi guys!
I have installed CM10 Alpha4 on my i9003. The question I have is this:
Can I reformat the internal memory to EXT4 using Linux (gparted), or I have to use some script/CWM?
I currently have:
1. System partitions in YAFFS2 (made by the installation of CM10 Alpha4)
2. Internal memory in FAT32
3. SD in FAT32
Since I only use Linux I was thinking in using EXT4 on my phone, because I like Linux's file systems (and, of course, all its advantages)
I'm assuming the SD card will not be a problem if I reformat it using gparted.
Thanks in advance!
If you're talking about system partition, I'm afraid MTD partition doesn't support EXT4.
If you're talking about internal memory(which we can store data inside), I think can, found some article about this but you need to use some apps though.
EDIT: it seems like our phone won't mount EXT4 partitioned sdcard, so you will need to use some apps like app2sd to do the trick to actually store data in ext4 partition.
Oh, what a shame... but, hey! That was very helpful and I learned a lot. Thank you! :good:
EDIT: ops, I read it before you edited it. Yeah, I thought we were not talking about the same partition. It's the internal memory.
Hi,
I'm back to stock firmware for my Galaxy Fit. I have two primary partitions on SD card. The second partition is formatted with FAT32 file system. But Link2SD app is not able to mount the second partition.
What should be the file system If I'm running stock firmware. Am I missing something?

Problem Solved
Since I was using custom ROM earlier the second partition was formatted to ext3 filesystem. I reformatted the partition with FAT32 file system using minitool partition software and it worked.. :laugh:
your primary partition must be fat32 while the secondary one must be ext
