Yes unless you really can't spare the time quick format should always be avoided
Quickformat worked fine for me when creating my goldcard.

yeah you can do that but some ROMs are optimized to work with ext2 partitions for A2SD.
swap size can be optional as its functions as bootleg RAM.

That is the correct way.... You set the swap and partition sizes to 0 and you are good to go, but as always, back up to your computer first.....

Just fyi, I was trying to do the same thing yesterday. I unmounted the sd card via the phone setting, and formated the sd card from within the phone (not plugged into the computer...all phone here), and it deleted the partition.
Guys how can I recover the space I loose with partioning?
I formatted my SD and went back to 7.38 gb
and if I enter to Titanium Backup it says 7.93

There are programs you can run off your pc that will recover any lost space. I saw them mentioned in the kingdom or Genger thread recently.

I did the Amon RA AND turned setting to 0 but it gives me 7.40 gb. Then when I installed a rom and go to titanium backup it says that my Sd has 7.93 gb.
So the is something missing hear...

you can unpartition in unbuntu. as far as windows I dont know.
You buy your card on ebay? sometimes they give probs like that. (not giving full memory) you never get all the memory teir rated at but when its excessive theyres a problem

I don't have a direct link for you, but what your saying is exactly what the guy in the other thread mentioned. Except he was missing like over a gb I think. Someone referenced a program you can run, that will "recover" that space you seem to have lost after "unpartitioning" your card.

Its on my sd card. Its starting to take a ridiculous amount of space already; about 2gb worth. I've had to delete adventure time and nova2 on my phone just to make space. I tried to delete the files, but it corrupts my sdcard. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for the replies, I didn't think anyone checked q/a anymore xD are they safe to delete though? Last time I deleted a batch of these, my sdcard read corrupted, and it took me a while to get my phone working again.

So i created the second partition on my SD card using minitool partition on my PC, but when i try to set the link location in the app it says either device is busy or sdext2 doesn't exist.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Not sure if its relivant but what sd card do you have? Brand, size and class?
I got a SanDisk 32gb class 4 with ex2 and fat32 and mine works fine....
Did you read any instructions on this as well?
Its a sandisk 16gb class 4. Minitool said the original and new partition are fat32, but my only other option was ntfs. Should I recreate it using ntfs instead?

No, NTFS is not supported. What do you mean it was your only other option? Were the ext file systems not showing up as possibilities? Also, how sure are you of the microSD card's legitimacy?
When i was choosing my file system in minitool I could only choose ntfs or fat32. But when i browse using root explorer its in my data folder as data/sdext2. But link2sd doesn't recognize it to link to.
And legitimacy is 100% because I bought it at radio shack
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Well its working now. Not sure what happened. Maybe it auto mounted the ext2 the first time, and so when i tried to mount it using link2sd it was giving me an error? Either way, this app is awesome lol.
Thanks for trying to help me out. I appreciate it.

Strange, if I am understanding you right; the 2nd partition was mounted as sdext2 yet link2sd never recognized it...weird

No problem, glad to hear it worked out. It was probably something simple like maybe link2sd not initially asking you for info on the 2nd partition. Regardless, ya, link2sd is amazing. Early on I was always confused between App2SD and Link2SD; the I figured it all out. It's almost pointless to use anything BUT Link2SD. It makes life so much easier, especially with our severely limited internal space on the Xperia Play.

I got 1 more question regarding this app. I have a 16 gig memory card but I'm buying a 32 gig memory card and obviously want to transfer all my data over. Where do I find and how do I transfer all the linked data? I can't seem to access it when I'm viewing my memory card.

Hi guys,
I 've put CM10 on my daughters HTC Desire and in general it runs ok.
The problem is, she keeps getting a 'message memory full' warning.
She has deleted almost all her messages to try and stop it.with no joy.
Is there a known fix for this please or am I missing something obvious.
There seems to be a limit to how much you can make go to the SD card. (apps etc)
She has a 16Gb SD card, no partition.
If I can supply any more info, let me know.
Thanks

Why do you need a partition.....what do you use it for?
How do you direct things to it?
First of all sorry if this issue has already been addressed, I looked around could not find much on this issue, anyways I have been running deathstalker s3 for a while, I decided to try deathstalker s4 , it installed okay but the phone kept force closing any system app I tried to run , I reverted back to deathstalker s3 and my phone constantly displays low storage and says 330mb of free space, but in the settings > storage, it displays a lot of free space in the bar graph but none of it is useable, once again sorry if this has already been asked, any suggestions in the right direction would be helpful

I would format the external sd and the internal sd and do a complete wipe and re download the rom to your external sd and flash the newly download ed rom

Do you have any nandroid backup stored on the phone? Those take up lots of spaces. If not you might need to do a format as suggested.

Check /data/media/ you must have some hidden files stored there.
