If you make partition, only FAT portion is recognized by windows. So it only shows what size the FAT partition has, no matter u use it or not. Hope you got it

hey! how many bugs are so far?
and what about speed? ^^ (i refers to 20140320 build)

Dude do u even read the post

Hi
Format using right clic on windows or you can delete the partitions using the same program that built them.
Windows only recognize FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and exFAT. Linux distributions let see them.
Hope it helps. sorry for my bad english.

help with formatting sd card

I think I messed up my sd card for my G1.
I have a 8gb memcard and it was with 2 partitions ext2 and fat32. I just wanted to enlarge the fat32 side because the ext2 was 4gb big. Useless I thought So i deceided to make it only 500mb as ext2 and 7gb as fat32.
Now the computer can't access the card, it says that the cardslot is empty.
I use Paragon Partition Manager and there I can't modifie my sdcard. Nothing helps. I can see my sdcard in Paragon, but can access it and modify it!
Is my card messed up and do I have to buy a new one? Anybody knows how to restore it as it was when I bought it (only fat32 8gb)
Try this: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

YES you are so great!
It works now! Just like new. 8gb no partitions.
Thx!
No problem.
Now I have an another problem!
It always says write delay failed constantly!
Cannot access it, cannot format it, even not with sd formatter.
Is it now realy broken?
nobody :'(
Otherwise I have to order a new 8gb memory card which costs me a lot
use partition magic, create 2 partitions, make the primary partition your biggest and format it fat32, the second partition format in ext2. Then you will be okay

The problem is that I cant access my mem.card.
Always a fault: write delay failed. It makes even my computer freeze.
well if you have to get a new one get one of these:

Had the same problem after i used Paragon, would not read micro sd anymore. I did a system restore to before i installed Paragon. Problem solved. I am able to read my cards again. I noticed that in that "finish formatting after reboot" Paragon had an error. Figured thats what caused the problem.

Did You try sdsplit ??
It worked good for me, when there was no PC / laptop available.
(ps. Happy with the white version?? )

Hi Karloe
Yes very happy with my white G1.
How is it with the black one running ADP 1.5?
I will try SDSPLIT, but i think it will not help
If it doesn't work, try a linux live CD (Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Knoppix (I like Knoppix because of the extensive toolset for testing))
[offtopic]
The black one is doing fine, engineering bootloader, ADP1.5 with appstosd

Try using the link2sd app from the market and moving them. I think you have partitioned your SD Card properly but you can't see because there is no app2sd script. Link2sd is the easiest way to move apps to the partition. If it still doesn't work then you can use a windows program called minitool partition wizard.

Link2sd ploblem with my SD card :C

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.

help with creating partition

Hi
i saw that im can incrase phone internal memory by a partition
how can i'm do it?
beacause im saw a tutorial on cm11 post
and how much partiton size i can choose?
because im saw that im can do 512mb partiton
and 1024 mb partiton
and if i making partiton the apps will removed?
If you create a partition all the stuff on you SD card will be removed.
512 MB should be enough for most people IMHO.
You can create a partition by using Partition Manager.

No probs
XDA is a global community and as long as your English is understandable you're good to go
That guide should work and yes a partition will allow you to install many apps.

From my experience if you want to partition your SD Card, it's best if you first backup all you SD Card data to other storage, and then partition it using Partition Manager or Recovery like CMW, and than you copy back your data to the SD Card. On some occasion (twice to be exact) I found that partitioning you SD Card using Partition Manager without backup and clean up/delete all partition before creating second partition will reasult in read only second partition on android.

I noticed that too.It rendered my SDcard unreadable on CM11.I had to use other phone running JB to format it.
Also doesn't partitioning memory card formats SD card before partitioning (Except gParted)

You meant external (sdcard-ext2) memory? Then follow @akiratoriyama suggestion. Internal memory /data partition is fix, 200MB. And it's dangerous to repartition, AFAIK.

Thats beacuse the fat32 partition is already at the sd card's max size. Decrease the fat32 partition by 1024MB and you'll be fine
