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.

Hi,
I partitioned sd-card with several ways but my htc desire does not see the ext2/ext3 partitions.
the configuration is that
ClockWork recovery 2.5.0.7
CyanogenMod-7 for Desire GSM V7.0.0-RC1
16 GB Class 4 Toshiba micro sdcard
latest try to partition sd card is now : 13,91 fat32 primary
1024 ext2 primary - tried also ext3
My Htc desire shows me as : sd card Total space : 13,91 GB
internal storage Total space : 148 MB
the ways that I used:
-Gparted-Live - success to partitioning
-Pmagic 5.10 - success to partitioning
-sdsplit with android terminal : - unsuccessful to partitioning
the file exist but when I try : - &su
- #/data/sdsplit -nd -fs 14350M
it says me : the file not found
-MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition - success to partitioning
-I tried also flashing ClockWork recovery to amon-ra 2.0 with unveroked 3.2 for partitioning sd card but it says me "error: failed to get root. ıs your firmware too new?" - unsuccessful
What should I do?
Please help?
Your internal memory does not charge when using a ext partition/a2sd. So how do you know it's not working.

I have AppsToSd tool installed and it always says me "it looks like your SD card isn't partitioned correctly..."
I do not know an other way if it's working...
That tool does not use the same a2sd solution, it uses the stock froyo one. You wouldn't need that tool if you were running a rom with a2sd / a2sd+
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok,
What should I do so?
and how can I understand it's working?
grab an app called quick system info from the market and in the basic info tab it lists a2sd storage and internal storage.
You'll know its working when you install something and the internal storage doesn't drop by the size of the app you installed.
Also if you use Rom manager from the market (after you're rooted) that can create the next partition for you. Just back up your card first since it wipes it.

this may sound stupid, but it happened to me.. When you create your partitions, are you making the EXT 2/3 first? it MUST be the first partition, wether it is listed as primary or not. I had sooo many fustrations till i figured out you must make the ext2/3 first, then the fat32 or whatever else.
Besides that.. WHY do you need a2sd? if you are using the CM7-RC1.. I'd recommend you use the CM7 HBOOT as well. that gives you a 300mb data which is tons of room.. just a suggestion.
Thank you nismoau,
I see the a2sd storage and it shows me the partition size but I installed some application from sd card and still drop the internal storage size.
what should be wrong?
mikeandjaimie thank you too
I need it because I want to install more applications. So How can I install CM7 HBOOT?
thanks...

You have to go S-Off (with AlphaRev.nl 1.8) and there you can select to use the Cm7 HBOOT.

On the contrary, fat needs to be first.

I have a Kingston 4gb class4 sdhc card.I want to install galaxy nexus by JM.so how to format card for how much size.can we alter size in future means if another Rom needs more size than this?if yes then how can we?can we delete partition in future?
What is mtd partitioning?
Iam using cwm4.0
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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

Tell me how to use this data2sd....

Thanks in advance...
You must have second partition (ext2,3,4) on your sdcard. There is link how to make it http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning. What ext partition you select that must be from your rom. I am using ext4. GL with partitioning
Partition ur SD card in CWM or using Minitool Partition Wizard In PC. (To create an EXT partition)
Then Install Data2SD DroidZone if Ur Rom does Not have the Data2SD preintgrated.
Thats alll........
Hello guys... As you can see I'm a new member in XDA, but that doesn't say everything because I read several threads for a long time.
I followed the steps to install this ROM (EQDKP-Sense3.5 V 5.1). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865976
As it says you have to create 3 different partitions:
1- fat 32
2- ext4
3- linux swap
In order to do that I used Minitool Partition Wizard and I've installed the ROM as the developer said... The problems beging when the ROM is fully booted for the first time. The internal memory only have 9Mb free when it must have about 1Gb!!!
Another thing is the swap partition... In the terminal emulator I type "free" to see if the swap is working, conclusion isn't working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659231
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong!? ? I have alredy tried Swapper 2 to fix the swap partition and link2SD to the EXT4 problem.
PS: sorry about my bad english writting..
thanks for help!!!!:highfive:

Swap is working in mine see the screenshots.
Use minitool its fine. Rename the ext4 partition and make it primary. Make the Linuxswap partition primary. Also the fat32 should be primary also rename it.
No need to use extra apps swap is enabled in this ROM via init.d.
