As you may or may not know A2SD+ requires an ext partition on the SD card, this is a linux file partition and cannot be seen by a windows computer. If you insert a SD card into the phone without this partition the phone will cycle in a bootloop.
You will need ROM manager and Titanium Backup for this process.
1. If you do not have access to a linux computer, download a live CD. I used ubuntu 10.10.
2. Run the live CD and insert your sd card. Open the disk utility, unmount all partitions and then format the disk using to the master boot (whatever it's called). This first formation option is at the top of the disk utility page.
3. now click on the "bar" of memory shown (picture of the unallocated space). Now below this you will see "create partition". Click this and change the entire disk to FAT.
4. exit out of the live cd and restart in windows.
5. now on your phone (still with old SD card in it) make a Titanium Backup of all your apps and data. I didn't need to use mine but it's just incase something goes wrong.
6. now open ROM manager and make a Nandroid backup. This is like an image of your phone as it currently stands.
7. in windows, copy the contents of your SD card to a folder on your PC.
8. download a new ROM that doesn't use A2SD+.. (I downloaded the LeeDroid non A2SD+ version) and place it in the root directory of your SD card
9. Open up ROM manager, install rom from sd, clear data and wipe cache. Make some tea as this will take about 10-15 minutes usually. It will restart in your no non A2SD ROM.
10. Turn off your phone, insert the NEW SD.. power up and install ROM manager from the market.
11. Open ROM manager, and select the first option (flash clockworkmod recovery, or something similar. this will download the update.zip to your SD) Now select to partition the SD card the same way the old one was (512MB ext, 0MB swap usually). Leave the phone until it starts up again.
12. Now go to the folder on the PC where you backed up the old SD card, file the folder "clockworkmod" and copy it to the new SD.
13. Open up ROM manager and restore the backup you made at the start.
When your phone starts up, it will be as it was before, with a larger SD
My sd card is fried. I tried loading it on my pc with no luck. I am planning to go and get another one. However, will the phone still boot without the system files that were on the sd card? If not how can I fix it.
Thanks
"If your problem is that you cannot mount the SDCard (as opposed to being able to mount it but it is empty) I ran into something similar during my 2nd ROM flashing experience. I got into this state by doing a factory wipe from the bootloader screen (as opposed to doing it from recovery). This wiped my entire SDCard partition, even the filesystem on it. So when I booted into Android, it failed to mount the SDCard altogether, saying that it was corrupted.
I had to re-format the SDCard from Windows in order to recover, by doing the following:
1. Boot into recovery (for me was TWRP 2.1.8.1)
2. Select "Mount"
3. Checkmark "Mount SDCard"
4. Connect device to PC via USB cable
5. Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
6. On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
7. Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
8. Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
9. Reboot the device
Upon rebooting, the SDCard mounted fine, although all data was erased."

yes, but, make sure you uninstall all apps from the sd card before you insert the new microsd

How to increse internal memory of Micromax Boltst your android device has to be rooted, if you have the Tecno P3 or N3 look here how to root them easily.
There is absolutely no way you can increase the size of your phone’s internal storage but you can allocate some part of your memory card for your phone to install applications to.
What you will need
Your android phone (must be rooted):cyclops:
Memory card (2Gb and above only)
A memory card reader (dont use a phone!)
A computer
Download and instal MiniTool from here to your computer
Link2SD application (should be downloaded on Google play store
Backup your memory card (copy all the data on it to a folder on your computer)
Steps to increasing your android internal memory
Step 1: Backing up your memory card:
before attempting this, make sure you have backed up all the files and folders on your memory card to your computer by easily coping the whole memory card and pasting into a folder on your computer.
Step 2: Partitioning your memory card:
connect your memory card to your computer using a memory card reader (dont use a phone and USB cable) and take note of the letter assigned to it by your computer on my computer page example (F, (D etc .
Open the installed MiniTool on your computer.
Right click on your memory card letter (example D:, F and click delete.
Now you will see the memory card showing unallocated space, right click on it again and select create as.
Select primary
If your memory card size is less than 2GB, select file system FAT. If it’s more than 2GB, select FAT32.
Now go down and reduce the size of your memory card on partition size so that there will be space on unallocated space (that will be your added memory, so you can choose any size you want)
Now, choose the unallocated space again and select Create as -> Primary
Now, choose EXT2 file system. You can let the whole space take over in this step.
Now click ok and click apply on the top menu.
Wait for it to finish and you have successfully partitioned your memory card.
copy your data backed up on your computer back to the memory card and insert it into your phone and boot it
Step 3: Configuring Link2SD:
Now open Link2SD which you have downloaded from Google play store on your phone
Link2SD will ask you to select the file system of your second permission, choose ext2.
Now click okay, the phone will ask to get restarted, click oka so it will restart itself.
A dialogue box will come up after the restart click okay
Now their is a funnel-like icon on the top part click it you will see different options choose on internal (see picture below)
Link2SD
Now tap the option key below, and select multi-select, then press the select all button. All of these apps will be selected.
Now still on the option key choose action then click create link
Select the three options (link application file, link dalvic-cache file,link library files) then click ok
Link2SD will then move all those apps and games then create a link with them from the second partition of your SD card. Touch OK when done
Now you are done but to make sure this happens every single time you install an app you should goto settings from the menu and click on auto link and then select the three options again and ok….thats done
You have now free of the low memory issue with your phone.
Hello, I'm having a little issue with partitions, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Ace with Mardon's modded CM11 (nightly build 20140326), and with a 4GB SD card. Since I instaled CWM 6, I can't do any partitions through CWM, so I installed MiniTool Partition Wizard to make them, I formatted the phone an the SD card completely, and I created an ext2 partition (3GB for SD card, and the rest of the space for the partition), but now I get a lot of issues on my phone, for example, Link2SD is showing 3 different partitions, SD Card, External SD Card, Ext Partition, when previously I just had SD Card and the partition.
Also, Total Commander shows 3 folders on the main screen, 2 of them are "SD-card" and "Sd-Card(3)", they have the same free space, and the same files inside of them. The first SD Card directory is /storage/sdcard0, and the third one is /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0.
So, how do I get it to work like it was before? I want just one SD-card folder
(And this still happens if I set the ext partition size to 512 or less, so I don't think that matters)
Thanks for the help, and I apologize if what I wrote doesn't make sense, English is not my main language.
(Also, here's some pics of Total Commander, Link2SD and the MiniTool)

I actually don't quite understand your issue here, but I think MiniTool partition wizard does help.

Basically, my phone shows a "SD card" folder, an "Ext SD Card" folder and the partition folder, but the "SD Card" and "Ext SD Card" have the same content, and the same free space, I just want to delete the "Ext SD Card" folder from my phone, so it only shows the "SD Card" folder, however, in MiniTool Partition Wizard, I only have the SD Card and the ext partition, so I don't know how to erase the "Ext SD Card" folder from the phone.
You can see it on the screenshots, total commander shows 3 main folders, two of them are the same folder, but with different names (1 and 3), and Link2SD shows them as "SD Card" and "Ext SD Card", with the same free space.
I just want the phone to show the SD Card folder and the partition folder, not an "Ext SD Card" folder, like it was before.
Also, if I don't know if this helps but, the SD cards directory are /storage/sdcard0 for SD Card and /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 for Ext SD Card

You have put your self in a major mess. You should have partitioned the SD card using CWM. Now you can try to partition SD card using CWM just forget the 1Gb partion that you lost.
