Backup your ext2 and the files in the first partition and format your sd card the way you want

try minitool partition wizard,with this you can make the ext2 partition bigger without formating.

That ain't working.
It cannot increase the size of ext 2. I used on xp and 8. Never worked on increasing the size.
Btw I am using mini tool home edition.

[Q] SD Card Partition <----

I finaly got myself a memory card reader. Is there a full guide on how to partition my Sd card? Can i do it with stock rom?
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
just root your phone, install the cwm, and then use it to partition your sd by entering the recovery, and after that you can install a2sd or other for activating your ext. you can search the complete tutorial in the forum. hope will help

If you are using linux, I can walk you through doing it on Gparted, or I can walk you through doing it in ClockworkMod.
U can use gparted or mini partition tools on windows.
Or through CWM ( need root )

Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
its obvious that partitioning SD will format the SD card.
I don't remember the name but there's some apps for file recovery in android.
search for that apps in Google and play store. it worked for me very good.

As far as I know tthat only works if you delete a few files, not if you formatted the whole sd card, than its really gone

Such programs worked for me when accidentally formatted my HDD. I recovered about 2/3 of data. Why wouldn't it work on Android?

[Tester Needed] s2efix -> Making your device support S2E :D

Hey guys,
I'm one of S2E translators (Italian one ) and I'm proud of my job; I'd use anytime S2E but I had problems with ext corruption.
So, I managed to obtain a little script to avoid this.
For me it works; it's written to avoid ext4 tunefs tune up. If someone could test (use s2e without and with the script) I'd be glad.
So, here it is: s2efix
Waiting hopefully for testers and reports.

Yup!
But I think that your CM7 has already that fix.
Can you check if is present in your '/etc/init.d' folder a '02gio' file?
I'm sorry... But as far as i know, cm already support for S2E right?
Using it always on my phone before i know other script....

Yes of course, S2E only works on cyanogenmod. But sometimes it doesn't works well on some cyanogenmod based rom, I had it my self, sometimes after reboot I can't open my apk and it's has weird icon. And I'm gonna share this on my group, hopefully there is some one there that would test this
About the init.d folder i checked but actullay i didnt mention tht the rom i have is a port from ace so it has 02cooper
Edit: Do I have to flash this zip to avoid corrupt of ext?

Old versions do note have tunefs and so no ext corruption.
For lag, on my Gio works like a charme with also data2sd.
Maybe depends on sd class or on a too big ext...

So what your suggest for ext size? I usually partition it to 1GB for ext4 on my 8GB class 10
1gb for ext it's to big for me... Imo..
I just set only 600mb, and it's enough for me...

I can test! what i gotta do?
Backup everything, in order to restore later, with a nandroid backup.
Your sd-ext must be ext4.
After this:
- Wipe all
- Install CM7/9/10
- Boot into phone
- Install S2E, configure it with ext4
- Reboot, so it's enabled
- Try installing some apps
Theorically it'll lags like hell.
After wipe and do all the above but flash CM and my fix.
And, please, report logcats.

This will be out of the topic . Every time I do restore, my sd ext reverted to ext3. Is it just me or everybody else experienced the same thing?

just create a partition on ur sd card and install link2sd and move every user app to sd card (expect super user & busy box)
If you have a class 4 card or above and using a custom kernel I'd like you to use Int2ext+ after making an ext4 primary partition....
Link2sd is also a great alternative but many find it annoying that it atill shows low memory thingy sometimes...
If you are using any CM rom i'd want u to go for int2ext for sure. If you need any more help you can check the new here post in my sig...

CWM dont recognize 64 gb sd card??

Hello my friends...my cwm 6.0.19 i think...however the one that came with the samsung galaxy toolkit v3...this cwm...cant read my micro sd san disk class 10 64 gb card ...??? Why? But with twrp recovery everything is cool...can access my card e.t. c ....so i tried to insert my old 32 gb sd card...cwm did recignize it well..and everything is cool...whats wrong?
Could it be that cwm just support up to 32gb?
I dont like twrp for one reason...it doesnt support miui roms.
Could somebody help me?
Thank you in advance

CWM doesn't recognise ExFAT formatted cards. Size isn't the problem. If you reformat the 64 Gig card with FAT32 then CWM will see it.
I think philz cwm have ex fat support, just have a look there.

By default on windows you won't have option to format card in fat 32 if size is more than 32gb,but search on Web you will find third party applications for it.

I live in lebanon...what should ..or would be the best modem " radio" for my note 2?
Running miui v4 3.22.2
Perseus kernel.
Some users said that a not good configurated modem for your country will drain your battery faster and gives you a slower internet connection....right?
If you know.plz tell me which modem should i use. Thx
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Regarding modem I prefer always that comes bundled with rom unless have any network related issue.
In case you find network issue, you should flash latest modem from stock rom of your carrier /Country.
