Hi all, I have just changed my sd card on my Sensation Xe. But the new Sd card is already partitioned and i want to delete this partition. I have read that to delete partition I have to format it from the recovery but I don't know how can I do it.
Recovery: 4EXT Recovery Touch.
CHANGE TOPIC: I have solved the problem of this topic. Now i want to ask you another thing. If i go to partition sd card from recovery i have to select the space i want on my 1 partition (fat32) but, even if i have 16 gb on sdcard, my first partition can be only until 8 gb. Why? Then it ask me the space i want for the second and the third partition. What is the 3 partition?
Thanks.
Well this is what it says in the classic 4 EXT Recovery thread OP.
Full support for up to 2 sd-ext partitions + swap

So it should be another 2 sd-ext partition or a partition for Swap.
Personally I would just format it with my computer and a SD card adapter. I always do a low level format first them a Fat 32 format, but that is just me.
But why I can use more than 8 gb for fat32 partition?
"Use EXT3 Filesystem For The SD-EXT Partition,To Avoid Any Errors While Backup" Thiz is the suggestion from developer. But I dont know how to do this

After you create a partition, it needs to be formatted to be usable. If you created the partition on your SD card by putting it in your computer, you have to format it separately. You use your preferred software to format, and you must specify how you want the new partition formatted.
If you create a partition on your SD card through your phone's recovery (i.e., CWM), it will automatically format it. I think CWM uses ext4 by default.

Does CWM support external SD card formated with ext3 or ext4? I considered exFAT and NTFS but none seems to be supported by CWM.
CWM can read partitions which have been formatted ext2/3/4 in your computer. I'm not aware about exFAT, and I highly doubt any recovery would recognize NTFS.
I accidentally formatted data under TWRP and now the internal memory won't accept files larger than 4gb.
How do I format the internal memory to another filesystem?

I would not expect that Android works at all with /data on a FAT32 partition - are you sure that it's not ext4? The problem could also be somewhere else. Please post the output of "mount|grep /data" (e.g invoked using adb shell).
Hi guys!
I have installed CM10 Alpha4 on my i9003. The question I have is this:
Can I reformat the internal memory to EXT4 using Linux (gparted), or I have to use some script/CWM?
I currently have:
1. System partitions in YAFFS2 (made by the installation of CM10 Alpha4)
2. Internal memory in FAT32
3. SD in FAT32
Since I only use Linux I was thinking in using EXT4 on my phone, because I like Linux's file systems (and, of course, all its advantages)
I'm assuming the SD card will not be a problem if I reformat it using gparted.
Thanks in advance!
If you're talking about system partition, I'm afraid MTD partition doesn't support EXT4.
If you're talking about internal memory(which we can store data inside), I think can, found some article about this but you need to use some apps though.
EDIT: it seems like our phone won't mount EXT4 partitioned sdcard, so you will need to use some apps like app2sd to do the trick to actually store data in ext4 partition.
Oh, what a shame... but, hey! That was very helpful and I learned a lot. Thank you! :good:
EDIT: ops, I read it before you edited it. Yeah, I thought we were not talking about the same partition. It's the internal memory.
I have made two partitions 900mb ext3 SD-Data and 80mb ext3 SD-Cache partitions. But the data is always stored in the internal data partition. Any help?

you have to mount /data and /cache in respective partitions.
