This sentence contradicts from itself. Do you want only a FAT32-partition or a FAT32-partition plus an EXT4-partition?

yes you are right. I wanted FAT32-partition plus an EXT4-partition. And also i did it with writing configuration tab. Thanks for your answer.

I've already partitioned my sd card using rom manager but I'm pretty sure I only have a ext2. So how do you make a ext 3 + ext 4? If this has been posted before please link me the tread that talks about it. Thanks

And how do you make ext4?
i know amonra recovery can make ext3 to ext4 partition, but there are some roms out there that don't support ext4, so i personally stick to ext3 just to make things a little easier.
how do you know you are using ext3? i created my partition on rom manager about a month ago and thought it was ext2 could it be ext3?
not sure how to do it on the phone. i know if you use gparted on ubuntu, it is possible to tell what type of filesystem your partitions are.

Hi,
Currently I have a ext3 partition but I really want to have an ext4 partition. How should I do this?
Like the same way I've make the ext3 partition?
And when I have the ext4 partition is it possible to remove the ext3?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english ;-)

Oh?! That's it?
But when I'm format my SD card the ext3 partition will always exist.. how can I remove it?
I don't know how did you do the ext3, but you can do all of the things you want in GParted. (adding, removing etc.)

Ok, thanks! Both of you ;-)
Just get Partition Magic for windows. Easy peasy.
Why would you want EXT4? I have EXT3 but I want to know more about EXT4, is it better? how?
I have been using a custom ROM for a while now and I have been seeing in the thread that many people are using ext4.
I have asked many times in the thread and recieved no reply.
So my question to you is what is "ext4" and what bennifit will it be to me as a Desire owner.
Thanks

1. Google is your friend
EXT4 is a file format used by Linux (Android = Linux). When threads talk about EXT4, they are referring to creating an EXT4 partition on your SD-Card e.g. have 14GB FAT32 and 1GB EXT4 (from 16GB SD-Card.. 1GB is always non-existent)
What having an EXT4 partition enables you to do, is to have Apps/Data2EXT scripts which move apps to the EXT partition, giving you a lot more internal space.

Moving some of the app data to the sd-card is different to having an EXT partition and A2SD.
If you activate A2SD, the system will install and store your apps on the EXT partition, and your internal memory will not be filled up, and will remain at xxxMB. Furthermore, with an EXT partition you can use D2EXT, which makes your phone use the EXT partition as the data partition, so if you have 1GB EXT4, your phone will see 1GB memory.
If you use the inbuilt "move to sdcard" function, it only moves some of the sd-card to the android-secure folder on your sd-card, however your internal memory is still used up.
In addition, moving apps to sd-ext partition doesn't break app widgets like the stock app2sd method that Gingerbread use.

Reason: With A2SD / DATA2SD / etc. Android still "thinks and tells" the Apps are still installed in the internal memory (at least this tells me my logic).

That's how I see it as well. And makes apps available to use when you have it on usb transfer mode.

MatDrOid, since you are also on MW. How do I make use of my ext4 partition I created?
I am guessing there is a way to just move to the ext4 via a app?

if it's MW based on oxygen, instructions on how to enable ext4 partition are in the first post, no need to use an app.
No it's the cm version using s2e and I think it's working lol

backup your sd card 1st
then use only 4ext recovery (requires s-off to change recovery) or gparted to create your partition (step 5 here)

Hi, I have bought a 4gb SD Card, and made Ext partition from CWM 5.0.2.6.
Anyone can tell me what ext partition I have made: ext2/ext3/ext4? How i can upgrade to higher ext partition?
Sorry for my bad English
Thx for reply
I think you shoud use pc and partition managers to know that and upgrade.

I think you've made a EXT2 partition, CWM only goes up to EXT2
If you're using a Windows PC, you can download and use a tool called MiniTool® Partition Wizard (Home)
Delete the EXT2 partition on your SDCARD and make (move/resize) a new EXT4 Primary partition with a cluster size of 4KB
Hit Apply on the Top-Left corner

Windows can format to exfat.
This is a nice little format tool.
