delete partition and create new partition

can u describe how i can do that?
i think i have to do that in the TWRP ?
i'm now on: Advanced/Partition SD Card
i can change:
EXT Size: 512
and
Swap Size:32
and i can choose: EXT3 or EXT4
or I have to do it differently?

Ok thanks i got it
i connected my phone as mass storage on my computer
i used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6 to delete the partition and create a new one.
Finish disconnect the phone from pc.
On my phone shows error that the SD Card cant be scanned and have to format
I format it and get 7.39 gb i thinks thats normal that i dont have exactly 8 gb

[Q] Want to replace SD card , (JaggyRom)

Hey , I am using custom rom (Jaggy Rom) on my HTC explorer, its working perfectly. I am using 2GB card, but where is my 512 mb gone i mean , apps are automatically installed in SD-card but in FAT partition, so question is what is ext-4 partition for? Where it is used?
And 2ndly i am also planning to change my sd-card from 2gb to 4gb, can u help plz. Thanx

if you have created a partition in the SD card you need to use a memory increasing script like Mount2SD or Ungaze...when you install this script the 512MB of the ext-4 partition will show up as your phone's internal memory.

Thanks for reply, mount2SD is preinstalled in jaggyrom 4.1, and will you help me on changing my SD card?

and how can i confirm if apps are installing on SD card. Mount2SD is installed, and i think script is working , because my phone is showing constant internal memory on installing apps (i.e about 160 mb even if i install apps or uninstall them)

changing your SD card as in? what are you asking,please be clear...
and in Mount2SD it usually shows the partition memory added up in the internal memory.I haven't installed Jaggyrom anytime but i have used Mount2SD and it always showed me the partition memory as a part of my internal memory....so not sure what's wrong.
Download disk usage app from play store..it will show how much memory is used in your SD card as well as your internal memory..just so you will get a clear idea

Changing my SD cards mean i want to switch the card, i m using 2gb currently and i want to replace with 4gb or 8gb

If you want to replace it make sure you buy a class 10 SD card..because most of people using sense based ROM are experiencing random reboots with class 4 SD cards...class 10 SD cards are much faster while transfering files...I would recommend 8GB class 10 SD card.

Alright but i have installed custom rom. When i take out my card from phone it dosn't works, and i want to copy previous sd-ext partition data to new card can u help how can i

I don't think so that any of the CWM or TWRP recovery supports the back-up of SD-ext..I would rather recommend you to use Titanium back-up to create back-up of all your current apps and than transfer the titanium back-up folder in your SD-card to your PC/laptop and than insert your new SD card and paste that titanium back-up folder which contains the back of all your apps (including apps in SD-ext) and download the titanium back-up app via play store and restore those apps.

Well thanx, What if i clone/copy my old ext partition to my new card's ext partition?

I don't think that will work. the best option you have is to make a titanium backup. if you don't wanna do that then save your sd card data ( data in fat 32 partition) and paste that in your new card. it will save you game progress, but titanium backup is the best way to go.

Well, that means i have to make a titanium backup and thn again install the custom rom i wil lose my settings

[Q] SD CARD Partion

Good morning all !!!!
I have done an ample amount of reading and I am still confused by the topic a little bit. And the post I came across were rather old. I just bought a 32G micro SD card for my galaxy s 4g running (wicked rom 9.1). This rom finally has the ability to move apps to SD. My question is, is it really necessary to partition your SD card for any reason??? What are the benefits? I still do not get he concept. I can only find the ways to do it. but not the reason.

*BUMP*
so.... I still did a bunch of reading, and did a SD card wipe attempted the 2nd partition and using link2sd and seems that the 2nd partition is not being recognized? can someone point me in the right direction?

Partitioning the SD card!
Actually, partitioning gives you the benefit of using space in your SD Card to install apps or use app data, instead of cramming it all up in the phones' internal memory. In other words, the Second Partition acts as the internal memory of the phone. So creating a 1 GB partition for a device with low internal memory allows the user to install more apps and doesn't let the internal memory decrease.
Link2SD can only accept partition with the proper scripts, i.e if the SD card has been partitioned with Ext2 then Link2SD must also be given the command for creating scripts as Ext2.
It is usually recommended to partition SD as Ext2 or Ext3 and create scripts on Link2SD as the same.
Hope it helped :good:

ext4 is the latest so use that ext2 is previous generation,,,,ext4 has many more features file allocations, journaling etc,,,,
I used minitool partition wizard to partition the sd card
since you are partitioning I figured you ll be using link2sd....so chose the memory space wisely...If you are going to move the game to this...the game data tends to increase eg,The Walking Dead

Hey, thanks for replying. I'm gonna partition my 16gb sd card and I'm thinking of partitioning it through CWM recovery mode.
Will it be fine to allocate 2 gb of space using ext 4?

I strongly suggest not to use cwm recovery for partition(I have read that it corrupts the sd card)...do the partition on windows

half&half sdcard memory

is there a way to use an sd card, half as internal memory, and half as an external memory?

Yes, need to partition SD card on PC then use an app like Link2sd (Plus version depending your needs) & Root… from memory as I'm not running it these days
