Go to recovery and under storage option select partition sdcard or you can use minitool partition wizard if you want to do it through PC

Change the recovery. You must be using CWM. Try TWRP. Works wonderfully.

follow this steps from here:
2. Prepare your SD card, using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition,
a. move all existing data on the SD Card to your PC and delete all files from it. RESIZE your existing FAT32 partition to a size where your unallocated space is at least 1GB but not more than 2GB.
b. Create a new ext4 Primary partition using all the unallocated space.
c. Apply changes
(I've written RESIZE in CAPS because when I tried deleting and creating the FAT32 and ext4, my phone didn't recognize the formatting as valid. So I allowed the phone to reformat the sd card and then did it using resize FAT32 instead)

apps store in internal memory after root...
Hello Sir,
i'm using HTC explorer, i unlocked and rooted my mobile and install Jaggy Rom,
and using mini partition tool and create two partition (4gb) , but ext4 is not supported,so i changed to fat32 format...

Read previous post and make ext2 or 3, or try creating partition from recovery. And no bigger than 2gb

Jaggyrom already has a a2sd script! Either u have to remove that script first or use link2sd on stock rom!

[Q] Cyanogenmod 9. No mount to sd?

I switched over to CM 9.1, Xperia S look and feel after using Explode^1. I was using my Sd-ext as my internal memory before, but I can't seem to do so on cyanogenmod. Every time I mount the Sd-ext, it unmounts after rebooting. Can anyone tell me how to mount Sd-ext as internal memory on cyanogenmod? It'll be very nice of you

CMW has error mounting the ext partition..
so better switch to yannos recovery or twrp...coz on CMW you wont be able to mount ext partition..
yanoos recovery is basically CMW with ext partition support....CMW may be best recovery for others but not our phone...

Backup sdcard on pc. Goto recovery(yannous recovery recommended),advanced,create partition,select ext4(I guess u need to boot sense, it will work fine). Sdcard will be formatted and partitions will be created. Even though you would have selected ext4 in computer sdcard will be read as ext3.
Hope this helps.

You might be able to use any of the gazillion partitioning tools available for Windows. Minitool, Easeus Partition Manager, and all the likes give you the options of converting the partitions (directly) to ext4, too. But, since ext partitions are evolved around Linux, Gparted, and its likes, could handle the Partitioning and converting (directly) job better.

[Q]How to mount the 2nd partition of my SDCARD?

I just created a 2nd partition on my 8GB SD card so that i could move apps to it using link2sd...but when i open link2sd and select the file system of my SD card's 2nd partition (ext4) i get an error:
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: No such device.
ext4 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition.

Other small question : Do I really need to mount the 2nd partition if I just wanna install custom ROMs?

If you are on Stock then maybe FAT32 partition may have worked.. or even otherwise maybe it will work,.. haven't used a FAT32 sd partition since JaggyROM 2.x.x ( obviously my 1st partition is fat32 ) ... My second partition is an ext and it is advisable to have an ext partition cause there are many scripts like int2ext , s2e, etc which work well with an ext partition...
A partition is Not necessary to made in order for other ROMs to work.. They will work just as well without a partition .. only thing is your internal memory will remain to be 150 mb.. Which is the memory allocated in our phone's nand..
NOTE: Sense 4.0a is the only ROM that you necessarily need to have an SD-EXT Partition of at least 1 GB. Otherwise it won't boot.

thanks for helping me..

I partitioned (1GB of memory to fat32) my sdcard with MiniTool Partition Wizard to facilitate to link2sd long back. Now I am unable to recover that memory and merge into a single partition. Do you guys have solution for this?

If anyone still have the above issue then just change ur sdcard partition type to ext3. Reboot mobile. Better to use link2sd for this.

do it through mini partition tool..delete the created partition..now right click on the 1st partition..slect extend..n drag the cursor till end...n click apply...done

Use Other Kernel
The reason for your second partition is not recognized is you may be at Stock Rom and Stock kernel....
Stock kernel do not support ext partitions...
Use ateeq kernel or cranium kernel for ext4 partition support....
Also use Mounts2sd instead of link2sd...!!!!

I used mounts2sd after I created sd card partition(ext3) but this app said partition not mounted; but link2sd recognised n created scripts.

Assuming you have the right kernel, install the startup script and change the driver in mounts2sd settings to ext3.

hey guys, is it possible to access the 2nd partition on Android or under Windows? Link2SD sees my 2nd partition and mounts it correctly, but assuming I want to copy e.g. music files to the 2nd partition using Root Explorer or using my PC, how do I do that? I tried both and they don't see my 2nd SD partition at all...

Use EXt2FS search in google you will get it..
Install it in your windows.. reboot your pc.. Then connect your card.. You will get the second partiton to see plus you can copy paste as well..

THANKS jynt_panwar!!!!! I WAS LOKING FOR THIS FOR A YEAR!!!!!!!!!! The Link2sd don't work for my phone (ZTE Blade L3 stock rom 4.4.2), but the Mounts2sd saved my life!!! Also I followed the instructions in this site: INCREASE YOUR ANDROID INTERNAL MEMORY || BY MOUNTS2SD (BEST WAY) in androcustomroms site. Maybe it can help more people... And thanks XDA of course!

5. Reboot phone .

For this you don't need s-off (which anyway you can't do). Just use recovery (you already have that) and create partition. If you are using cwm, in advanced menu there is option 'repartition sd card', just follow the steps, and remember this will erase all your info from the sd, so it's better to back that up. Also you can create partition using pc with "mini tool partition wizard" google it. Another thing don't make ext partition bigger than 2GB and don't create swap partition.
That's it. Have fun
Edit: @Saumitra Yadav- damn you are fast , but what you explayned is........ why create another partition, sd card is already fat partitioned? (Maybe I'm wrong but I think link2sd also works with ext)
Edit2: Yes it needs second partition which can be fat32, but it also can be ext, so just make ext

first time in your post, I saw op's cm10, and forgot that possibility that actually stock rom doesn't support ext.
There was very long time ago when my phone haded stock rom.

already tried creating it...get an error saying that mount script cannot be created.
link2sd faq quote :
Q. I get "Mount script cannot be created. cannot create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: not enough memory" error.
Some HTC devices are "NAND locked". On "NAND locked" (or "S-ON") devices the /system partition is write-protected by the bootloader and thus cannot be modified even if you have root privileges.
In order to use Link2SD you need to do "S-OFF" to disable this NAND lock. (a.k.a. "NAND unlock" or "unlocking the bootloader")
