All are same. Ext3 is best choice.

Since your card has really less memory and you may require it for backups, songs, pictures, etc., I would advice you to install CM9.1 build#9 normally, no extensions. Really smooth, almost no bugs. Internal memory with this rom is a lot, all you will have to do is move your apps to sd card via titanium backup. No hassles, works great, enough internal memory for my usage.

Ext3 or ext4 both will be great..
i ll personally use ext3 partition..:good::good: working for me great..but you can go with both of them.But With recovery you can make only ext3 partition.. to create ext4 partition you have to use tools. i prefer minitool partition wizard..
and you can check the difference between the both partition system here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press Thansks if i helped
Here is my suggestion ...
Ext4 or ext3.. preferably ext4...
Don't use recovery for partition..because it slow down the mem card speed...I think making swap partition will slow down the men card ..

So what to use to partition sd? I used gparted and I can't install any sense 4...tried and worked till now jaggyrom 3.2.1, 4.0.3, 4.1, cm9, cm10.
for a week i'm trying to install jaggyrom 1.2, flyrom, htc sense 4...no luck for me. It worked one day htc sense 4 but with sdext with ext2 filesystem, i'm very confuzed.

I saw that if I make ext2 partition I can install sense 4 rom, it's wierd...why it's not installing on ext4 filesysytem.
About partitioning: I've partitioned thru recovery and the fat32 is with 4k cluster size and starts from sector 1, but the sd card came from factory with fat32 with 32k cluster size and starts from sector 8192...I'm worry about performance and wear level of the sd card.
Didi anybody knows about proper format of a sd card???
If anyone has a problem partitioning through recovery simply download and use mini tool partition wizard for the pc.. There are many tutorials available on how to use it, search youtube or this forum.

meaning what? swap and ext4?
swap reduces your sd battery life, but it's said that it's not very noticeable, and it's needed with sense 3.5
ext4 just adds space for apps on sdcard as if they were on phone's rom
I mean swap, sorry.
What do you mean with reduce? And how can i swap my sdcard? Can you post me a thread please ? )

I just partitioned my MicroSD card with MiniTool.
First Partition: FAT
Second Partition: Ext2
My laptop recognizes the card through card reader and I can see the two partitions in MiniTool, but my phone (HTC Explorer) does not recognize it. Any suggestions?
Well how are you checking if your phone sees it. Some roms can't use sd2ext. Take a good file explorer like root explorer ans see if there's a folder names sd-ext

I simply use the phone's recovery (in my case 4EXT) , which will walk me thru everything, I didn't bother with a swap partition but rather a dataswap option (specific to my rom), and a 2GB sd-ext (Again supported by default on my rom). And used 4EXT to convert all my internal file systems to ext4 filetype instead of ext3 (again my rom supports it, but not all roms do).
Essentially you can partition SD and most everything else via ClockworkMod or 4EXT.
PS: Generally sd-ext should be the FIRST partition. (or second in the case of swap, sd-ext and fat32), since some Roms will not automatically recognize it if not placed in that order. thus another reason to do it via recovery.
Use the recovery on your phone to partition your SD card then plug your SD card into a Linux box and check to see if it's EXT4 using Gparted.
how to get sd-ext before fat32 in 4ext?

I'm running mimicry-1.4.0, 4ext touch, same as you. When I ask it to partition my new, 16gig, class 10 card, it asks:
size of first sd-ext, to which I reply 2048
size of second sf-ext, to which I reply skip
size of swap, which I also skip,
and then it does the remainder as fat32.
BUT...the fat partition is at the beginning of the card...not the order the app asked for my input...and I don't see how to change them.
Maybe not being first is okay with mimicry?
thanks for your help,

ps all my file systems are ext4 on the phone itself.

Older s2e may need a specific partition order but both clockwork and 4ext arrange in this order, and the enabler script in my signature needs no apps and works fine with mimicry.

Me too I had looooooooooooots of doubts but after I partitioned it today regretted every moment without ext!!!!!!
So I partitioned it through CWM 256 ext and 32 swap and when using link2sd it's exactly like apps are in /data(widgets...)
I don't know about risks coz I didn't face any
PM me for any question I'm ready to help!
I too have a doubt when I partitioning my SD card all my data in it will gonna erase
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, partitioning your SD card will format it and erase everything on it, so back it up first.
The point of an ext partition is to extend the internal memory, so you can load it up with apps and not run out of internal storage. This comes in handy on the ov which has very little internal memory to begin with. With an ext partition, you can use apps like link2sd to create symbolic links to your apps, so they can be on the sd card, but the "think" they are on the internal. This way you can move apps that can't be normally moved to the sd, or use widgets, which need to be on the internal memory. I, however like cronmod's ext scripts. They can be put in the init.d of some roms, and they will move your data partition, and/or dalvik, and/or data/apps to the ext. That way you don't have to manage apps like with link2sd. In a sense, it's like adding straight to the internal memory.
To partition your sd card, the easiest thing is to do it from a custom recovery. You won't get to choose the filesystem, but you can choose the size of the ext partition and swap. Keep swap at zero, as most phones here won't use it. Set your ext partition to ~10% of the size of the sd card.
If you want a different filesystem than your recovery gives you, you can use the minitool partition wizard on your pc with a card reader:

Is swap partition really helpful for low ram devices and O1??
Do we need to use any script to use of swap memory or is it done automatically??!

Actually swap is not needed for o1.Even on ics i have about 150-200 mb of free ram most of the time,and if u make swap partition u'll get even more free ram.But remember unused ram or free ram is nothing but waste of ram in linux,unlike windows.

Finally got it ,was trying for such a long time but wasn't able to..
I know what you are thinking :
" Can't this Guy just search the forums first or Google it ? "
Guys I have tried all the things I can do and I don't find solution of my problem anywhere. I have partitioned my SD card at least 10 times and I am tired of it.
My problem is different . I tried s2e but its of no use.
I partitioned my 8gb SD card as ext3 , installed link2sd and tried to mount it and rebooted. And it said can't mount SD automatically at boot. But that problem is with everyone.
But then I tried another 2gb SD card which came inside the box with phone and its a success.
I AM able to mount my 8gb sd-ext but after a quick reboot.
So now I know that the problem is with the SD card.
One more thing is that whenever I partition any of my SD card with minitool, eject it and reinsert it to the PC, it says can't read SD card and asks to format it. And in order to place my backup files to SD, I have to format it. But after that I can't mount sd-ext.
I have
A Samsung 8gb class 4 SD card and
A Samsung 2gb class ( don't know) SD card.
Suggestions plz
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
My phone has root, SD card is 8Gb has great partition 1Gb for ext3, up rom Sense 5 EX Build#6-V1 of …. or JaggyRom_3.2.1 … that is ok
But few days ago when I up rom sense 5 v3: notification when phone stated is “Storage almost full”. I check Internal Storage: available space is less than 1Mb. I can’t action anything on my phone except call & message. Available space of SD storage is no problem
The first, I think the reason by rom, but when I up any other rom, the problem is the same. I don’t know what to do
Pls help me!
Sorry my bad english
You also need to install a memory script like mounts2sd or int2ext to make the phone move files from internal storage to the ext partition on sdcard. (Although newer ROMs come with built in support)
I assume you've already installed some such app, in which case you might have to configure it to move dalvik cache and data to external.
