I've got several 64GB SanDisk Ultra and I get full capacity. I don't format them on Windows though.

What do you suggest then? I have a windows computer. I tried to format it through the phone but it doesn't recognize it. I'm running DJ's cm10.2 rom.

Personally, I know partitioning with eollie's oneclick works. It's the first one in the second post of my oneclick thread. Also check out lumin30's oneclick guide.
Reboot to recovery, nandroid backup (using an SD card that works) . Put device in download mode and oneclick. Put the SD card in, partition.
At this point I hope you report back
Flash your rom's zip so it's the same version as you backed up with. Same recovery. Nandroid restore your backup.
Worth a shot.

You can also download Ubuntu and run it off a USB stick, without modifying your Windows install.
I will try both suggestions when I have time and will report back. Much appreciated.

Ok I'm trying out the method of running ubuntu from USB which I did. I inserted the card and of course it gave me an exfat error. I go to format and there are fat, ntfs, ext4 and luks + ext4. I don't see fat32 so which one do I choose?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Well it doesn't matter what I choose it doesn't seem to format the card at all. Do I have to install the whole ubuntu to get all the capabilities? I chose trying out ubuntu option.

It should work with the "Try Ubuntu" option. Once you launch gnome-disks you should get a window labeled "Disks" with "Devices" in the left column. Select the microSD from there. From the gear in the top right, select "Format"
In the format dialog, you should select "Compatible with all systems and devices (MBR/DOS)" and "quick format" is fine.
Once the new partition table is written from that step, you need to add a FAT / VFAT / FAT32 partition to the disk. As I recall there is either a "+" symbol beneath the "bar graph" under the Volumes label, or there should be one off the gears beneath the bar graph.
If you're still having problems, I'll try to take some screen shots when I get home.
I would surely like screenshots. Take your time cuz i'm in no hurry.

Once you have gnome-disks running, select the proper drive. From the top-right gear, select "Format..."

Unless you know why you would want something different, you should select "MBR/DOS" (partition table type)
If confident you have the right disk, go ahead.
and you should end up with a disk with an MBR partition table and no partitions
Next, add the partitions you need. Select the free space and click the "+" beneath the map of the partitions
I am setting this one up for Hefe Hook and external data, with a partition for sd-ext and a spare, so I only allocate 54 GB to the FAT partition. If you only need a FAT partition, you can just let it use the entire disk.
After created, you should see it in the partition map. If you used the whole disk, you won't see the "Free Space" section.
If you're adding more partitions, for sd-ext, or other reasons, select the "Free Space" section, then click the "+" again.
Here I'm adding an ext4 partition for "app-to-SD" scripts and other legacy purposes.
Here is the four-partition disk that I am using today.
If you have problems like it not allowing you to convert from GUID to MBR partitioning, the following will wipe the beginning of the disk and generally let you start with partitioning. Insert the right drive letter in place of the # below
Make sure that you select the right drive, as you can wipe your system or any other disk you have with this!
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd# bs=4k count=1k
Success! Thank you for this extensive walk-through. It surely helped me out. I appreciate the time you took to make this.

I was running Mz's CM6 RC3 today and I decided to go back to 2.1 for a while so I backed up my current ROM and selected backup all in MZ's openrecovery. Suspiciously, it was backing up SD ext too but I only had a fat32 SD card second partition, not an ext2 so I thought how it was possible? But I didn't bother and just factory reseted after backing up and went to one of my 2.1 backups. After a while, I decided to switch to the backup that I had just made (the cm6 one). I restored all, including SD ext. Now in openrecovery, the filesystem for the second partition shows ext2!!! I am 100% sure I had fat32 last time. Not only that, now the second partition can't be mounted for link2sd to work (the error always comes cannot mount Dev block....blablabla) what happened to my SD card partition? ?

Nandroid always restores as ext2 and your 2.1 probably doesn't have ext2 modules. Your partition table also incorrectly lists the ext partion as FAT--that's probably not a serious problem.
I would put the card in a computer and reformat the extra as fat. The sd-ext nandroid is just a .tar file so you can extract that on windows manually.

英文不好，哪位大大帮翻译下，谢谢！
此ROM为G7 CDMA版本ROM，英文代号为：bravoc
此ROM开启了DATA2EXT分区，SD卡必须分区，建议EXT4分区，下面有详细教程。
操作步骤：
第一：刷支持分EXT4分区的RECOVERY,地址在这里
第二：将SD卡内的资料备份到电脑上，因为对SD卡分区会造成SD卡上资料丢失。备份后安装到手机上，手机进RECOVERY模式，选择菜单
ADVANCED （高级）
---PARTITION SD CARD（SD卡分区）
--remove all partitions and start from scratch(重新分配所有分区)---
1024（SD-EXT1分区分1024M）---
341（SD-EXT2分区分341M）----
256（SWAP分区分256M）----
YES（确认）----
EXT4（将分区格式化为EXT4格式）
点下PRINT PARTITION INFO(查看分区信息)
2011-11-17 22:30 上传下载附件 (109.91 KB)
我们就可以看到屏幕上打出了分区表了：
分区 文件格式 大小 剩余
SD-EXT EXT4 1024M XXXM
SD-EXT2 EXT4 341M XXXM
SDCARD FAT32 XXM XXXM
SWAP SWAP 257M -
至此，我们已将SD卡分为 FAT32+1GEXT1+341EXT2+256SWAP 四分区了。
再加个刷ROM部分吧：
第三：下载MIUI ROM，将下载的ZIP格式ROM放入手机SD卡中，进RECOVERY模式，
WIPE FORMAT 清除数据&格式化 ----
FORMAT ALL PARTITIONS (EXCEPT SDCARD)（格式化除SD卡外的所有分区）
为了防止清除不干净，我们可以再点下
WIPE data/factory reset 及 wipe cache (清除用户数据及系统缓存之类的)
按返回键返回进入INSTALL FROM SDCARD(从SD卡上选择安装ROM)
----CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD (从SD卡上选择ZIP格式的ROM)
-----XXXX.ZIP（就是你下载的ROM名）
OK，现在可以开刷了，刷完后按返回键返回，拨电池，（很多网友卡在第一屏，是返回后按REBOOT NEW菜单所致，原因未知，应该是RECOVER重启引导性错误，直接拨出电池，再安装上，按电源开机，如果步骤没错，你现在可以正常开机了。不过有时测试时，点REBOOT NEW可以进系统，我也郁闷了。）
The following translation from the anti-GOOGLE
English is not good, which greatly help translate, thank you!
This ROM version for the G7 CDMA ROM, English, code-named: bravoc
This opens the DATA2EXT partition ROM, SD card must be partitioned, it is recommended EXT4 partition, following a detailed tutorial.
Steps:
First: the brush support points EXT4 partition RECOVERY, address here
Second: the SD card to back up data to a computer, because the SD card partition on the SD card will result in data loss. After the installation of a backup to the phone, cell phone into RECOVERY mode, select Menu
ADVANCED (Advanced)
--- PARTITION SD CARD (SD card partition)
- Remove all partitions and start from scratch (re-allocation of all partitions) ---
1024 (SD-EXT1 partition points 1024M) ---
341 (SD-EXT2 partition points 341M )----
256 (SWAP partition points 256M )----
YES (confirmed )----
EXT4 (formatted as EXT4 partition format)
Point under the PRINT PARTITION INFO (view partition information)
2011-11-17 22:30 upload and download attachment (109.91 KB)
We can see the screen shot on the partition table:
The size of the remaining partition file format
SD-EXT EXT4 1024M XXXM
SD-EXT2 EXT4 341M XXXM
SDCARD FAT32 XXM XXXM
SWAP SWAP 257M -
So far, we have the SD card into FAT32 1GEXT1 341EXT2 256SWAP four partitions.
Coupled with a brush ROM part of it:
Third: Download MIUI ROM, the ROM download ZIP format SD card into the phone, into the RECOVERY mode,
WIPE FORMAT Clear data & formatting ----
FORMAT ALL PARTITIONS (EXCEPT SDCARD) (in addition to the SD card format all partitions outside)
In order to prevent removal is not clean, we can then point the next
WIPE data / factory reset and wipe cache (Clear user data and system cache and the like)
Press the Back key to return to enter the INSTALL FROM SDCARD (choose to install from the SD card ROM)
---- CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD (from the SD card, select the ZIP format ROM)
----- XXXX. ZIP (that you download the ROM name)
OK, now you can open the brush, and brushing and press the return key to return, call the battery, (a lot of friends stuck in the first screen, the menu returns caused by REBOOT NEW unknown reason, it should be restarted leading RECOVER error, direct set aside the battery, install, and press the power boot, if the right steps, you can now boot up normally, but sometimes the test, the point REBOOT NEW can enter the system, I was depressed.)

Ive been looking for something since I got this phone. Today with just system apps and 20 user apps on the internal partition I ran out of space yet again. So off to search google and I found this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387
What this will do is create a link from /data/app to a created partition on your sd card. It can move dalvik and a few other things to the /sd-ext partition.
I created a 1 gig partition and I have over 300 megs left for apps. I dont forsee a problem in the near future.
Good find. I'll need to check this out.
I just glanced at this briefly, but isn't this the same as app2sd which our phones already have? Or do o need to look at it closer? Lol
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Look closer!
Appps2SD isn't compatible with all apps, and it doesn't move the whole app.
Data2ext moves the whole thing to sd partition as well as all dalvik cache.
Good find eollie I yesterday saw this script that let's user fix the "low storage" this script works for our with cm9, aokp and nexus beam(haven't test the other roms)
So if you guys test with data2ext here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26375859

Like airflip said read closer. This does more than just move the app to the sdcard. It fools your phone into thinking it has a larger /data partition and also moves a lot of stuff to the /sd-ext partition and sym links it back to the /data partition.
Im going to try this for a couple days and make sure it doesnt give me some wild errors.
Airflip I had a lot more apps installed when I was on stock roms. But cm based roms seem to fill the data cache up super fast. Atleast that is what I can figure out. The "app" I linked to has a option to fix the cm based data issues. I havent enabled it yet want to read up on it more.
Are your apps on SD? On CM9 I have a lot more storage than kj6.

Hi eollie
This looks amazing.
I hate it when I restore with TB and have to push apps one by one to sd card, to spare space and not all apps like it (dropbox) ..
I will definately test it on my next ROM flash.

I dont suggest turning on the cmdalvik option or swap. Both of those made me extremely laggy. So far no issues.
Hey eollie,
This brings up an interesting discussion.
I've been thinking about moving to the SGS/Aries partitioning scheme.
MTD:
0 = boot (kernel)
1 = recovery (not usable... Maybe steal this space for system)
2 = /system
3 = /cache
4 = /efs
5 = /radio
6 = /datadata (mounts to /datadata which is symlinked to /data/data)
7 = reservoir
SD:
1 = /sdcard
2 = /data
This would of course mean that those with bigger sd cards will have more room for data.
Let me know what you think.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Basically it would work kinda like this zip does then right?
For this zip to work you have to have a ext2/3/4 partition.
Would adding data to sdcard work on the native partition?
The reason for needing the ext partition is it is much faster than the fat partitions.
Im all for giving people more rom for apps without having to flash apps and zips.

Yes please. I would really like to see this.
This phone's lack of internal memory drove me to buy a 32GB SD Card (Sandisk, ebay, fastest, claimed to be 'special for Android apps & games', for only 32$).
Looking forward towards this implementation.
sent from me
That scheme is confuzzling me.
So, /datadata is the same as our current data, but only important stuff like dalvik and etc will be there.
/mnt/sdcard/data is real data that the system will think is an internal data partition right?
/mnt/sdcard/SD is SD card right?
If I am right, boot will be faster, you will rarely run out of sd space unless you depleat sd card, if you pull out your sd card, then you will have no data partition, but sd mount from SystemUI will just mount /mnt/sdcard/SD right?
And in a perfect world, only apps will be there and not settings data which should remain in /datadata because if you boot without sd card, then phone will reset every time and ask to sign in, but then again, it'd look for a non-existant symlink and phone would still reset.
But won't widgets and other downloaded home replacements take forever to load? Or is there a way to move an app to /datadata?
In a way it's good cause you won't need apps2sd to auto move without the fear of low internal space.
Bad: Just like apps on Sd card that take 2-3 minutes to populate on app drawer, this would be consistent for all downloaded apps. Unless it mounts sd during boot proccess.
---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
This reminds me of my G1.
Swap partition wouldn't allow me to boot w/o sd card.
That is why a ext 2/3/4 partition is used because android read them faster. They are native to the os. I have only noticed problems with things when the sdcard used is a cheap four dollar one you find on ebay.
Basically what he is looking to do is build this .zip into the rom natively. Right now the only problem with this is a permissions issue. But other than that is has worked on other devices just fine without problems. Hopefully the permissions will not be a issue once we can move to mtp insteadof mass storage like bhundven is hoping for.
What is mtp?
Also, this will change the phones mounts completely, not just inbuilt zip. Resulting a new recovery.fstab, and new twrp requirement.

Ill defer the rest of those questions to bhundven.
SO... I assume that the under MTP, /mnt/sdcard/SD will be mounted, but we will still be able to use it as a normal transfer method for roms and such not just media, correct?
Also, thanks for not sending me to LMGTFY despite my laziness in not googling it for myself.
Hello all, is there a trick to accessing the full amount of storage after several ROM flashes? My p3113 is low on storage, but the numbers just don't add up. The total space says 4.59GB (assuming system eats up the rest of the 8GB) but when I add up the usage stats its only roughly 2.8GB. And it is telling me only 516MB available? Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, that does look a little off. I would suggest go into TWRP and do a full backup and make sure it's on your sd card. Pull the sd card just to be safe. Wipe the internal memory. Then restore your backup from the sd card. I'm guessing you have some left over crud on the internal from either dirty flashing or an incomplete wipe prior to flashing. This should fix ya.
If Wolf's suggestion doesn't get you the results you want (it should, but if it doesn't)...and you got some free time...odin back to stock and use the .pit for your device to repartition all memory.
<Note3>
Cool, it worked. I used cwm, pulled my SD card, formatted everything I could. I didn't restore the backup as I had just flashed slimkat official when I noticed the memory issue so just wanted to do a clean install. But I have all the memory available now. Thanks for the help. I appreciate your response!

I'm interested in what exactly you formatted mr_cj? I've had exactly the same issue after rooting my GT2 7" and installing the new builds of Slimkat. I guess you can just format/wipe *everything* as long as you've got the SD card out of the device? Is there anything you shouldn't wipe/format in recovery!? Thanks.
Scammor,
First make a backup of your ROM to your sdcard, backup your data ( I use titanium backup) to your SD card. PULL OUT YOUR SDCARD AFTERWARDS. Then using cwm, I did a wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvic in advanced, then in mounts and storage I formatted "cache, system, data", and "data and/data/media". That may have been overboard, but it worked. Sorry for the delayed response. Hope it works for you. Good luck!

One question Scammor
Hello Scammor,
I just install cyanogenmod on my tab 2 7.0 and everything perfect but i got the same issue as you did before. When i go into the storage settings i see that my 8gb where not there, instead it said total space 4.59gb and available 1.26gb. I did what you said, using CMW i did a backup on my sd card and then format everything. Then i put my sd card again inside and restore it. Now i have total space of 4.59gb but the available is the 4.18gb instead of the 1.26gb i have before.
Does this happen to you too? or after you did everything you got the 8gb more or less in the total space? Thank you so much for your help!!!!
I want to install ALL of my apps automatically (from Play Store) on to my EXTERNAL SD card without using any kind of adoptive option. I have root. I have a fast external SD card.
What app can I use. Does such an app exist? Have you tried it? Does it work?
Please note that I am aware that I can do this manually with SOME apps. I do not want this. I want them all to go over, and I want it automatic.
This would be such a great phone for the price if they corrected this small SD card issue.
I have been literally trying this all day today as well with no luck, I am not rooted though mind sharing which method you used?
If I ever get it to work ill let you know!

ROOT is pretty basic. Here's a nice step by step guide. (tmob/metro only)

I just tried to do the root essentials "install to sd" technique in conjunction with a Titanium Backup restore, and all the apps still installed on the main sd.
I've gotten it to work, after a bit of trial and error. First, make sure you are using this recovery:
Recovery tar :http://www.mediafire.com/?ysugtwzzusxgvw7
Recovery image:http://www.mediafire.com/?tln7q406dmejeq5
Boot into recovery and partition SD Card to 4GB or 6GB as ext4.
The rest of the sd card will be formatted with fat32.
The ext4 will become your "2nd partition".
Download and install Apps2SD Pro.
Go into Partition Tool within the app and you should see fat32 size and ext4 file system according to the size you allocated in recovery.
Select Format from the drop down and re-check the fat32 and ext4 file systems.
It should then prompt you to reboot.
Go back into and select Link apps to SD card, then select Recreate mount script from the left menu...
There are a few other options possibly, but those are the basics... You should now be able to link you apps to the 2nd Partition. Hope this helps!
I'm using 5.25GB out of 8GB internal storage and have several games installed that easily consume over 3GB alone!
