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.

I don't know about TWRP 2.4.
I use TWRP 2.2, and the partition creation option gives you options about choosing the ext size, swap size and the file system.

TRY THIS-

Minitool is pretty easy to use , works well and also has a graphical user interface!

I meant converting the partitions directly.

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.

I'm think you can do this in recovery. Just pretend you're partitioning your sdcard except set the ext partition to 0mb and swap to 0mb.

You need to format the sdcard again after setting to 0 to get the whole memory again,or else the partitioned memory wont be visible.

D'load "partition magic" or such software to ur pc.connect ur sd card with the help of a card reader to that pc. Then do "merge partition".It should delete the partition.BTW don't forget to make a backup of ur sdcard.
The simplest way : insert ur memory card in some nokia mobile den open ur memory card format n u r done. Other method : go to setting in ur phone go to storage and format ur sd card.

What if i made a partition and now i can't retrieve the information i had before partitioning? I'd like to some how delete the new partition and be able to use the data i had before. I don't want to format! I just can't get to the partition with the data.

If u partition from recovery,ur sd card is already formatted and u cant retrieve data back unless u have a backup on ur pc.Dnt know about pc tools for formatting.
Use gparted on Ubuntu (you can put it on a CD or a memory stick and make it bootable - with poweriso - and boot into live CD, no need to actually install ubuntu, but after you try it you will, try with wubi to avoid partitioning)

I think mini partition should do the trick, you can delete the ext partition, and then resize and expand the fat32 partition and integrate the fat32 partition with the unallocated partition created after deletion of ext partion

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)

Help! I am new to partitioning sdcard

Hello friends I am on rasheds cm10 and I want to partition my sdcard so how much of it we need to do
I have 16gb sdcard
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I think it comes down to personal preference more than anything. I've got 2048 ext4(which some people might say is too much), 0 swap and the rest as fat32.
Also on a 16gig card.
I'm using link2sd and I know that A2sd, D2ext and Int2ext work but some scripts might not work with ext4 and the size of the ext partition might be limited.

Actually partitioning 1gb of memory is enough for our phones. And use swap if u want to have more ram. I personally perefer using ext4 as it is.the fastest out of the ext partitions.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Hi I have 1 gb for link2sd and i think that this amount is enought.
To partitioning I used mini partition tool, in this case I used ext3 because with ext4 I had a problem with another phone.
Also, keep in mind that the 1st partition should be formatted FAT32, the 2nd partition EXT, and the 3rd partition as SWAPFS (optional, only if you want to enable swap). Do not create the partitions in some other order.

Good question. Go through the normal partitioning process but set both Swap and Ext to 0mb, maybe?
EDIT: Seems Amon Ra will let you set things to 0mb.

Using minipartition tool, select partitions, delete them, later select all unallocated space created and create a new singular partition.

Just go into storage settings in normal mode and format the card, it will delete all partitions and make them as 1

With Junior Einstein method you can't delete a partition but you can only delete files that you can find in (and only) data partition.
And no, not in all partitions, this procedure delete files only in data partition, and yes, Junior Einstein method wipe the fat32 storage partition, allenwalker1998 said only data not the partition and this is correct; at the end the partiton is formatted, not deleted.
To remove/change a partition you have to use a specific tool that can be one like minipartition tool or something else.

If you use mini partition tool, you don't need to format your sd card to partitioning it. You have to use the command resize (for your actual fat32 partition) and later on created free spece use command create a new partition. I personally tested this and all my data are safe, this procedure will NOT erase your data but anyway you need a pc also to use minipartition tool and have a backup before any modification is a good idea.

[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

Get A310E recovery (yannou's recovery), or simply use minitool partition wizard on your pc to create the partition.
