Yes i make this ( i have 16 GB microSD card, first make 10GB FAT32, next 128MB (ext3) sd-cache, 1GB (ext3) sd-data and 2GB (ext3) sd-ext ) next i reboot my phone, go to install zip from sdcard and error not sdcard partition. Pls explain my how exactly phone mount this partitions. Maybe i doing something wrong.
Try to do a clean partition.
Back up your whole data before starting.
Use card reader only to do this.
1. After plugging in the card reader with sd card open Minipartition tool
2. It look like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. On the Disk 2 (I: or J: or any thing else) right click and select Delete ( Not compulsory but the process will be clear )
4. Again right click on same place and now select Create.
5. A new window appears. Select these:
Create as : Primary
File System : FAT32
And then click on OK
Now it looks like this:
6. Now right click at same place and select Move/Resize
Make 65mb in "Unallocated space After" and Keep 0.00 in "Unallocated space before"
And then click OK.
Looks like this:
7. Right click on (Unallocated) and select Create. In warning select Yes.
8. In the new window select these options :
Create as: Primary
File System: Ext3 or Ext4 (As you wish)
Cluster size: 4kb
Partition Label: SD-Cache
Click on OK
9. Again right click on FAT32 partition and Select Move/Resize
Make unallocated space 500Mb
Right click on unallocated space and Click Create.
Create as: Primary
File system : Ext3 or Ext4
Cluster size: 4kb
Label: SD-Data
OK
10. Same way do SD-Ext with space 1024mb > Primary > Ext3 or 4 > 4kb cluster size > Label SD-Ext > OK
Note : Order should be :
SD-Ext (1024mb)
SD-Data (500mb)
SD-Cache (65mb)
From left to right on the screen
Everything Should be PRIMARY .. NOT LOGICAL
If everything is correctly done, click on apply.
Wait for the process to complete.
After completion of the process, check in My computer whether the SD Card is present or not.
If yes, you successfully partitoned your Sd card to SD Ext, SD Data, SD Cache.
I always follows this process..and it works perfectly.
With 16gb class 10 memory card the phone works like charm.
Do at your own risk.
10x a lot for good explanation.
Maybe my bad is that i did everything in my phone connected to the PC, not via card reader.

you made 3 ext partitions..make it 2.
sd-data partition will be your sd-ext partition, no need to create sd-ext partition..& sequence is compulsory:
1- Sdcard fat32 primary
2- sd-data ext3 primary 1gb
3- sd-cache ext3 primary 70mb
mounting those partitions depends on the rom & kernel you use.

I am using Ubuntu to partition my 8GB microSD card. Does it matter which partition is primary, logical, or extended? What should they be?
Hi,
I've done this and both fat32 and ext2 partitions should be primary.
I 1st had the fat32 partition and then added the ext2 partition.
My ext2 partition is 1.4 gb and the fat32 32 is 6.4 gb.
Hope that helps.

I have Ubuntu Linux installed on my MacBook Pro (dual boot). You can download the Live CD for Ubuntu, but Im not sure if you can install applications. I had to install Gparted, a partition manager for linux. Once you install that, run it and pick your SD card. I had my G1 hooked via cable to my laptop. Create the first partition as FAT32 - Primary - whatever size you want, keep between 500MB - 1.5GB free for your EXT2 partition (2nd partition). Click "Apply". Next create the second partition using the leftover space - EXT2 - Primary. Click "Apply". You are done.
Ex. I have a 8GB microSD card
Partition 1 - FAT32 - Primary - 6.5 GB
Partition 2 - EXT2 - Primary - 1.5 GB
HI,
I use windows xp with a program called Paragon Partition Manager.

Is it possible to install a2sd on polaris.
apps2sd is not necessary. when you flash android (to sd or nand) you can decide to put all data on an sd partition.

I explained how to install the following.

2. Copy this androidinstall.tar under a folder named andboot at the top level of your SD Card.
3. When you're done flashing, your device will boot.
4. to start the Android Installer.
5. I selected System on NAND, Data on SDCard.
prompt displayed "unmounted invalid data argrument"

Are you sure of that ?
this method doesn't work for me with last dzo kernel and incubus RLS5
doest ext3 has to be logical or primary ?
Yes, i'm sure, format your sd card with 2 primary partition. The former will contain the installation files (Fat32) the latter will br you data partition (ext3)

Only if you have windows PC.
If you have windows than connect the phone to PC First copy all your data from card to PC. Right click My computer > Manage > Disk management. You will find your sdcard there with two disks right click first disk select delete select second disk select delete. Then you can format your card make one disk.

I have the same problem I don't see the point to make a new thread.
I made a new sd-ext partition and now I dont know how to delete it.
If I choose format sd it will only format the partition not the entire sd card.
I am using CWM
in advance i have the option to Partition SD Card, no option to delete partition
and in mounts and storage I only can format the partitions not the entire sd card.
So how can i get rid of the sd-ext partition? pls help
they all are slow. Backup all your sd card data first. Google SdFormatter, download install and connect your device, now run sd formatter, it will remove the ext partition ;-) easy and simple

I must be stupid.
when I mount usb mass storage I see on my pc only the SD partition, not the SD-ext partition, so formating sd won't delete the sd-ext partition.
Also SDformatter sees my sdcard as a smaller card.
the rom manager has only the option to create sd-ext partitions not to delete them.
http://androidfc.com/tips-tricks/th...covery-and-how-to-use-it-on-android/#features
this is the CWM recovery menu.
formating the sd card will only result in formating the sd partition.

Try partition sdcard with ext partition size to 0. Same method u partitioned ur card but with size 0.
From amonra recovery I think cwm don't have 0 partition size.
It's just a workaround and not proper solution.

Minitool partition wizard
I use the minitool partition wizard. It is free for the home edition, runs on windows and allows you too see different formats. You could delete the ext and resize the remained partion but it may be faster to back it up, format, restore (copy and paste) There is also a gparted live cd (a Linux distro made to edit disks that runs from a cd). You can mount the sd and use the phone as the adaptor.
Personally I prefer to have the extra space for my apps, have you considered trying different data to sd solutions such as DT a2sd, data2sd and link2sd. Or how about a different method of transferring files such as the websharing app?
@4silvertooth I already did that and it shows like a drive of 1.3gb, there is no hidden partition or unallocated space like there is with my pc hdd.
@aaronbutton now im trying those to see.
EDIT: minitool partition wizard did the trick! many many thanks
I am trying to put NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 on my HTC HD2 via Native SD. I can't figure out what exactly to do once I get to the partitioning of my sd card. This thread [26 SEP 2012][DEV]NativeSD Rom Boot Script for HD2 said what to put the 4ext size at but not the swap or any of that. I am new to doing this and I would greatly appreciate any help. What do I do?
There are so many instructions. Please copy/paste the instructions you're following, so we can better help you
You probably don't need swap.

Sdcard for NativeSD:
Code:
1. First make sure you have at least 1 Fat32 partition and 1 EXT4 partition on your sdcard
2. If you don't have these partitions ?? backup your sdcard , because everything will be wiped from your sdcard when you create partitions and format them !
3a Use the provided 4EXT recovery (NAND or SD version) to create the partitions and format them.
3b If you rather use a computer for creating and formatting partitions keep in mind that both partitions must be primary partitions (not logical)
4. The recommended size of your EXT4 partition is depending on how many roms and apps you are going to install.. 512M is the minimal size..
5. Restore/move the sdcard contents back to the Fat32 partition
6. (WP7 users) make sure the EXT4 partition is located @ /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
To check this mount your sd-ext partition in 4EXT recovery and use adb shell or QtADB shell and type df
7. Your sdcard is now ready for NativeSD usage..
What steps have you completed, and what part is troubling you? Have you partitioned your SD card?

Once it gets to 4 where it says the minimal size is 512 mb. On the recovery on my phone, it asks me for primary ext, secondary ext, and then swap. What do I do here?
Choose primary, ext3 or ext4. You don't need swap.

Okay, so then I should put maybe 1024 mb, instead of 512, since it's a 16 gb memory card?
Go for it.

Alright, hopefully everything goes swimmingly. Will post if I have any other problems.
There are instructions and info how to format or mount the Ext2, but not on how should we make the best use of swap and ext2 ?
Automaticaly settled when mounted or? How to mount swap?
I've replaced my sd with a 16GB one, formated in cwm (1024 ext2, 256 swap and rest is fat32), then copied ALL content from old card to new FAT32.
I later used Link2sd to mount the ext2, and checked future "automatic linking" in settings.
What's the next step?
Do I need to flash the rom from scratch to fully use them?
Thx
