Hi,
I want to partition my SD card so that I can install my apps to it.
My question : If i remove all my installed apps, music and photos from my SD card, what stuff do I loose when I partition my card? What stuff from the currently installed app would be lost?
Will some of the apps become unusable due to temp/cache files that gets deleted?
Regards,
Barend
Firstly, when you partition your SD card, you lose everything on the SD card. Everything on internal memory stays.
Secondly, some apps might not be usable as once after partitioning, i could not even boot up into the OS. Then i just flashed the Rom again.
Hope this helps;D
Ok, here's the thing.
I was trying to install LeeDrOiD V3.0.7 rom for my Desire and I followed the instructions.
And there was this step: "Flash This EXT 3 Alignment patch prior to flashing the ROM"
I've done all steps and I was stuck in boot screen.
But the main problem is that my phone can't mount SD card.
Before all this (two months before), I was doing step by step "Noob Proofing Everything Desire Guide" and I was doing partition of SD card using Gparted.
So I don't know if I messed up my SD card or what?
I can easily read card on my computer, but not on phone.
Can anyone help me?
same..
I have same this problem.. gparted, Leedroid and then cant mount sd card..

HELP PLEASE:
Cant update or download new apps from market to SD card.
I can only download & update apps on internal storage and then move them to SD... But If I have app on SD I cannot update or install app.. I always get - Installation Unsuccessful
I am using Leedroid NOA2SD 2.4.1. Tried to format SD card, unmount and mount SD.. nothing helps.
Titanium Backup:
Internal: 23 MB free
SD card: 1.29 GB free
SD card (a2sd): 1.90 MB free
after flashing this fancy alignment.zip you must reboot recovery and then flash the rom.zip
try it now, if it doesnt work you must re-do your sdcard
this can be done with android, boot up into any rom and go to settings>storage>format SD card - and it will restore whole sd as FAT32 (you will lose ext3)
so you need either other android phone or other SD so you can flash any rom to your current phone.
there is also an windows aplication that can do it (restore whole SD as fat32) but i dont know its name (and it is not anything alike gparted which unfortunately cant do it)
I've used SD Formatter 3.0 and I succeded in formatting SD card.
My phone can now mount SD card again.
mac - disk utilities - repair disk - might work if its just corrupted
Hello All,
As we all know there a bit slight issue as far as the internal memory of Xperia Arc is concernend.. when I googled on how can we use our SD card to actually increase the internal memory so that we need not move the apps explicitly to the SD card, I came to knw that we need to create a partition on our SD card in ext4 format.. But I dint get the exact way of doing it... so can anybody tell me how we can do it? And does it need to have a custom ROM installed? Does it work on stock ROM also? Please help.. Thanks..
Try Link2SD or AD2SDX.
I tried Link2SD, but my problem was that after creating the new partition in FAT32, the phone won't mount the SD card, and keeps acting as if the SD card removed. When I deleted the second partition, everything went back to normal but without adding to the internal memory (which is the whole point)
I must have done something wrong but can't figure it out.
The second partition is the one that has to be in ext4 format and as logical so your phone will not try to mount it for storage purposes..

Hello and sorry if this post already exsists a new on this forum after swapping my iphone for play is there any way to swap internal for external on this device i have done something before like this on my galaxy note 10.1 wanted to know if its possibe for the play Thank You
Your best friend would be to copy everything off your sdcard to your computer and use Minitool partition (free) to format and create a EXT3 partition onto your MicroSD card, then copy all your contents back to the SD card (Fat32 partition) and install Link2SD to your phone and link all apps to your ext partition.

Hi everyone!
I upgraded to CM 13, big problem was the fact that my Samsung Evo 64 GB SD card was not usable as internal storage or external. I entered recovery mode and wiped all to install Cloudy 2.5. I have an issue now, the sd card is not formatted in its own original filesystem, and after i tried to change it to exFat or ext4 it shows me a 15mb sd card, rather then a 64 GB one.
How do I fix this?
You can take your micro SD card, put it in the adapter and then plug it to your computer.
After that you can take a software like "minitool partition wizard" and use it to format the micro SD card.
I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard
3. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat)
4. Place SD card into phone
5. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
6. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
7. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT
