Leaving Ext partition on SD card - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does it have any adverse affect leaving my ext4 partition on my SD card on my stock rooted Rom? Just in case I wanna flash a Desire HD Rom.

No, if your using a stock rom, android will just ignore the ext partition

Partition layout should look like this: x Gb FAT32 (primary) then max 1.5 Gb ext4. You can use CWM recovery for partitioning and formatting.

Try searching swap
If your rooted and have cwm installed then just partition your sdcard and set swap as you require on android anyway!!!

and it shows 3.37GB
i mentioned it wrong i had made 256MB partition ext2
hope you could help
I don't know if this will work. But you can try it.
Reboot into recovery,
Connect it by USB,
Go to mounts and storage
Unmount sd-ext (only if you see it)
Mount USB storage (don't press anything else now)
Check mini partition tool if it sees the 2nd partition.

Yes you can. But you need to be rooted to use it. You can use clockworkmod or mini partition tool (windows) to do it.

i just want to root my phone to extend the internal memory
can i overclocked too?
I'm not sure about this but you should be able to install any ruu that has a software number higher than yours. If it doesn't work, make a goldcard and try again.
You can overclock if you flash a custom overclockable kernel

Flash a recovery and partition your SD card. 4ext is the best one out there.

Thanks for reply I have flashed recovery with 4ext recovery but haven't partitioned SD card yet would I need to for mildwild 5.8?? Cheers
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Pretty much for every ROM.
Make 1gb ext3/4 partition with 4ext recovery and you're set.

Will making a partition wipe the SD card using 4ext?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Yes, partitioning does destroy all your data.
Ok so I need to back up SD card to my netbook and then create 1 partition using 4ext and then just put all my data back on sdcard?? Am I right?? And the size of the partition 1gb??? Cheers

Right. Partition can be 1-1.5GB ext4 and rest fat32. Skip all other secondary partitions.

Not necessarily. You can use something like gparted on Linux (or Partition Magic on Windows) to resize your FAT32 partition non-destructively.
