That depends, does the rom suggest a partition type to use? And what do you intend to use the partition for? And fyi clockwork mod recovery can partition your sdcard

Step 1. Read the forums, use the search function & ask the Oracle(The all knowing all powerfull Google)
No no, that can't be right.
Step 1. Launch ROM Manager.
Step 2. Partion SD card
(I believe this makes an ext3 partition)
LOL
Back up your SD card fist duh!
In mini partition
I would format the card. Then right click and create each parition from the unnalocated space. Fat32, then ext2/3/4 depending on your rom, set all of these as primary. Now make a Linux swap and set as logical.

What is mtd partitioning?

Thanks in advance

for installing galaxy nexus by JM,i created 512Mb external partition with 0 swap size.You can create SD card partition from recovery.It can be deleted whenever you want by formatting the SD card.
For MTD partitioning you can see this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233340
for galaxy nexus by JM 145Mb system partition and 20Mb cache size should be enough.

If I create 512 mb with 0 swap size SD card partion does other any custom rom will automatically detect it?
Ext3 or ext4 which one to choose for partitioning?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I might be wrong but I think CWM recovery creates ext3 partition on your SD card,so that would do.
And I have used the same 512Mb partition for rempuzzle rom and for galaxy nexus by JM as well.But when I installed MIUI gingerbread it didnt seem to work,coz it was moving apps to the unpartitioned space.So I think it should work only for the roms for which a partition is required.I might be wrong though.

Correct me if Iam wrong that means a Rom which does not us sd-ext feature will not boot or will have some problem???

If a ROM doesn't use the EXT partition there is no problem.
You can even flash DarkTremor A2SD to get the same functionality.

K...thanks guys...can someone provide a link for darktremor a2sd

There are so many ways,but only thing essential is partitioning your sd card.
Once done,you can flash different scripts like cronmod,darktremor etc. or use some apps like s2e or links2sd(SD-EXT is not compulsory for this,you can use FAT partition as well)

make it from cwm recovery,that will make an ext 3,rhis will eliminate the possibility of re formatting it to a different format while doing a data wipe.

no no,you getting me wrong.Your card will definately formatted during partitioning.
I wanted to say that if you create an ext 2,cwm most probably reformats it to ext 3 during a simple data wipe.This might create issues,to skip this I suggested you to partition it through cwm recovery.

Thanks anyways but i don't want to format my phone again

[Q] How to format new SD card?

Hello,
I've bought new SD card 32GB class 10 and I'm just curious how to format it with the possibility to choose partition type. Thanks and sorry if this topic was already discussed somewhere else.

Don't use a regular windows partition program like Easus Partition Master. I had to find it out the hard way
I got a hold of a micro sd to sd adapter and repartitioned it using SD Formatter 3.1.
But I understand using Gparted is the way to if you want to create an ext4 partition for use with the ROMs.
Have to say it took Gparted 15 (!) minutes to find my sd card; Not sure why...

Isn't it easier just using recovery to partition the card?

Only use 4ext recovery. CWM could break your sd-card.

Yep I agree. 4Ext recovery is the best to format the card. It takes care of the sequence of partitions and also the alignment.

Depends on what Rom you want to use.
Usually 1gb ext4 partition goes well with most of them. It's advised not to have your ext4 partition more than 1.5gb.
One ext4 partition and rest fat32.

I agree with this person except for a point. If you use an a2sd script, it is possible that you can fit a lot of roms as well as the dalvik cache and the data partition with 512mb ext4.
This way (if you are a bit careful with your choice of Roms, and don't use one of those huge sense ones) you can save half a Gb of Sd card, which to many people is precious.
Also, I give my recommendation to 4ext recovery as well. I am currently using the touch version of it for the past 6 months or so, and it is by far the best choice out there.
