I am using a 16gb sd card in my Sensation. I tried copying a 4.3gb mkv video file to it. But I got an error saying 'file is too large for this file system'.
The card was previously used in my Desire. And when I rooted the phone I partitioned it and formatted it in FAT32 file system. I know FAT32 has a limitation of 4gb. So should I format my sd card in NTFS file system or is there any other solution?
i dont think you can any file bigger 3-4gb in micro sd even if its 64gb memory cqrd

wrong.
You just stated your error OP, it's because it's the FAT32 file system. You have to reformat it to NTFS to transfer files >4 gigs. I'm quite positive that there's no other way to solve the issue as of now
So if I format the card in the phone will it be formatted in NTFS system? Or should I format the card in my pc and then put it in the phone?

you should format it on PC. and choose format as NTFS

I'd do the same!
Has anyone tried this and had Android function as it's supposed to? I know Android formats by default to FAT32, would the system remain stable as NTFS?

Whats the truth? Will NTFS work in Android or not?
I have an lg p500 with an 8gb memory card an I've been reading a lot about sd-ext.
So what are its advantages and disadvantages????? What's the risk behind it(using vivekkalady's cwm touch 5.0.2.7)???? What's the swap size??? What do you suggest for me to set swap size and sd-ext size???????
Thx in advance!
Make sure ur card is class 4 or higher else it will actually slow things down.

Yes it is but what are risks behind it and what's swap size??
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
Sd-ext partition is used to store apps and data by android(512 mb is enough for class 4 card)
swap partition is used to have virtual ram like thing(not needed for general avg users, if u want then 32mb is enough)
o1 has enough ram so won't need swap
---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------
ONLY sdext degrades SD card very slowly
SD ext + swap will degrade comparatively quicker
advantages more internal memory(SD ext) and more ram(swap)
Is it risky?? What happens when I remove SD card after partitioning it??

Partiton will not be read by anything other dan ur phone ... for ur sd card if u put a 1gb partition and 256mb swap ur pc will read it to be 6.5gb card ... and yes sd ext and swap degrades sd but in a long time
pls hit thanks if I helped in any way

if u have moved apps to SD ext and then removed the card then tried to boot, ur phn won't start. so once u link apps to SD ext u have to keep SD card connected. only remove when phone is off or in recovery

I was going to cr8 thread of same doubt.
I also waana partition my sd card. 8Gb class 4..1.5 gb space left.
And i also need pros and cons of partition.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
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

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??!
Edit: Good info about swap partition.
hope this can help you!

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.

About which ROM-u is word?
With mini Tool ... you need make primary FAT32 partition and primary ext4 partition.
Before save all what you need from SD Card on HDD.
When you delete partition on SD Card in Mini Tool... , click on Apply,
after make primary partition, when partition is end, again click on Apply.

You are saying sd-ext doesn't mount itself ?
Is it ?
Have you tried fitdroid ? It mounts sd-ext automatically .
