Okay, so, I want to flash hephappy's Cyanogenmod 9 (which looks amazing, btw you should check it out) which requires partitoning of the sd card. This is exactly what it says:
-Partition sdcard: swap-size: 64MB, Ext2-size: 300MB, Continue partitioning, SD:ext2 to ext3
So, I already know this means I have to move the contents of my sd card to a computer if I don't want its contents to be deleted. But anyway, how would I do this through ClockworkMod Recovery version 5.0.2.0? Also, for this ROM, is it completely necassary to paartiton my sd caard, what will happen if i don't, because I don't really need apps on my sd card.
Thanks in advance
It's not necessary
Will run perfect without it. If you want to use swap just use an app that creates a virtual swap on your sd.
Send from my phone...
Wait so your saying I don't even need to patition my sd card? Also, what does swap mean? (lol)
CWM doesn't give you option for creating a partition of 300mb,it gives either 256 or 512 mb.better use amonRA recovery or 512 mb partition.In order to partition first of all BACKUP all the data of your sd card then boot into CMW then go to advanced then partition then create partition then enter the given values of swap and memory.then wait for a while then you are done!! the memory card will be formated too so copy back the backed up files

I also suggest you better use amonRA it partition is really needed then because according to above required requirements,amonRA recovery fulfills it exactly.you can partition 300mb,with swap size 64 mb and upgrade from ext2 to ext3 in that recovery.
I did this yesterday successfully... Backup ur six card data before u do this, cos it gets erased. In Cwm, go to partition sdcard, select ext size 512(doesn't matter if it's not 300) thn swap size 64. After success, reboot phone, install link2sd, run it, allow superuser access, select ext 2 wen it asks, reboot, open link2sd, goto settings, and select automatic linking.
Voila.. U are done!!
Works on my phone. Tested...

hey guys can you help me.......
i root my HTC EXPLORE .....
now i want to use custom rom...but dnt knw how to do.....
read lots of topic some one say make partition in sd card some say do dirct..
and some say make recovery 4EXT like that........i dnt get it any thing
my phone rooted now....
what my next step....
can u telll me in simple way............
Do u have cwm recovery installed ??
If yes just download the rom, put it in sd card and flash using the recovery( instructions are given for installation in the rom threads)!
Partition ur sd card if u wanna incrrase ur internal memory using recovery or minitool partition wizard from pc(google how to partition) !!
Press thanks if helped
It's better to make ext partition it's simple, get in to recovery(I assume you already have recovery), then advanced menu, there is "partition sd card", make "ext" less than 2gb and make "swap" to be 0. Everything in your sd will be deleted, so if you have something important move it to pc first.
To flash rom is easy, first get rom on your sd, then "mount"(from recovery "mount and storage") everything then wipe everything, except sd card. Then just click "install zip from sd" and....... that's it
Hello guys please let me know how to root htc explore and is there any bug after i root it. i want do it for my younger bro his phone internal memory is always full. Please help

The most simple method according to me is install rom manager flash cwm recovery
Then switch off phone
Press power + volume down
In bootloader go to recovery
Now the internal memory of explorer is very low so i recommend yo to make a sd-ext partition.
For that go to advanced-partition sd ,select the size Acording to ur sd card then swap size 0 wait till its done . This will format your sd card. then go To mounts and storage mount usb copy the rom and gapps(if required) to your sd from pc
Then go to install zip from sd choose zip and install.
You are done

well i somewhere read our stock rom wont support partition so it means i need flashing a rom for sd partition for required scripts?
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?

I made the second partition as FAT 32 and it worked.
Now the only doubt i have is...will ROMS work on FAT32 partition?

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?
delete the partition in disk mgmt..

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

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!!!

To increase internal memory(Stock Rom)
1.Download mini tool partition wizard on pc.
2. Make a Fat 32 partition of desired size .. it should be primary..create the partition.
3. Instal link2sd app from playstore.
4. Select Fat32
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")

Its not your fault. What i can understand, is that the CM10 rom you are using, most probably doesnt support MEM Script.... You need a ROM that has init.d and Busybox support... Check if it has or not!!!

Maybe you didn't partition your SD card right. Boot your phone without your memory card. If the ROM boots up okay and the ROM is working properly with almost everything present, the problem is with your SD card. Format it and partition it using Yannou's recovery.
I'm not responsible if anything worse happens to your phone.
