I want to partition sd card so i can have more internal storage for apps, cause now i only have 24 mb free.. I'm also thinking about flashing Sandvold ICS rom, so do i have to partition sd for that in some other way, or the same way as for more space for apps?
I have s-off(revolutionary) with Recovery-RA_2.0.1.
Flash 4ext recovery and partition your sd card.
Check my sig.

Hi did you try redo it with gparted? or flash better recovery to setup partitions on your sd card... some rom are not showing all space from ext partition... BTW why you have swap? instruction saying 0 MB for swap
Its working correctly, the 183Mb free space will decrease slowly but it is using the 2Gb ext partition for app storage. Also, you don't need a swap partition. My advice is to start again, either do a backup, repartition your SD card with 1Gb ext and 0 swap and then restore or just do the partitioning and flash the ROM from scratch.

First answer my question, then I answer your question.
some one tell me to partition sd card 1GB and swap 0M and i ask him can i use 2 GB or i can only but 1GB
does i need to install data2ext or a2sd rom ????
If you constantly ignore what we are telling, you won't get any answer any more.

You'd have to have a [custom] hboot that had partition info set up like you wanted [to change system partition information]. Not an easy task. Doubtful it would ever come to fruition. Besides our devices have 512 MB ROM, 512 MB RAM (418 MB user-available). So allocating that all to system would be unwise. Now SD card partitioning... our device supports up to 32 gigs Those two you mentioned or Darktremor's Apps2sd are great tools for moving your apps or even dalvic vm to your sd card. You can partition your sd as you wish with the unofficial cwm recovery (under advanced options). I will try to port another recovery [4ext] in the future which is great for sd partitioning (data aligns everything; supports ext4). CWM is not too shabby though; give it a whirl. Hope that helps.

I've tried to make sd-ext with Rom Manager -> Make partitions on SD. I've shoose 512Mb (of 16Gb miscroSD) and 32Mb swap file. But still have 178Mb internal memmory.
What is wrong?
I used Minitool Partition Wizard (free) to split my SD 16Gb on Fat32 & ext4 512Mb. Works Fine! Link2SD identify external partirion.
cool
congrats. Just a suggestion... change your OP from [Q] to [Answered] even though you answered your own question. May help someone else.
Rob
data2sd not installing for me after i install i get a boot loop..
you need Apps2sd or Data2sd not both
The rom has Apps2sd... You want Data2sd. You will have to remove apps2sd support, then add data2sd support. Can't have both.

I have a 32GB card. Was using CM7 with scripts mounted for 280 MB internal memory. Wanted to change ROM so.
1. Reflashed CWM (didn't flash the boot.zip before reflashing CWM)
2. Wiped everything
3. Installed another ROM (3 ROM's actually )
Now I just can't locate the ext3 and swap partition on any software including Paragon or Gparted. It's like the partition just got lost. Any help will be appreciated.
Have you partitions with unallocated space or is the sd card so big like it be? For example, that the SD-Card has 32 GB in gparted or paragorn?
I'm new in this so maybe this is a stupid question.
I need now to make a partition in 4extrecovery but when I go to Partition SD Card and then no- save my FAT32 partiton, then 1024 (1st sd-ext), then 0 (2nd sd-ext), then 512 (swap), then I got a error it says: There is too little space on the device to create this partiton layout.
I have a 8GB sd card and free is more then 4GB.
8gb and 4gb free? If u partition ur sdcard ul lose ur data. Do a backup first.

I have a backup.
Someone please help?
If ur changing roms you will have to just backup your apps without the data, put the backup on your computer, then in recovery partition your sdcard to what the rom dev recommends then install the rom then put the backup back on your sdcard and install them all again.

I've experienced this. Backup your entire sd card to your computer. There is no other way to do it. Partition your card without saving the FAT32. Set the size of the EXT partition you want, swap 0. That should do it.
Lets say you set 512MB as your SD EXT partition, and the rest is FAT32, the next time you try and repartition your SD EXT saving your FAT32, you can only partition it to less than the existing SD EXT partition. On my example that would be 512MB.
The reason you are getting that error when you do it right now is because you basically do not have an ext partition. So no exisiting ext partition=not enough space to work with.
Hi,
I have a HTC Desire running LeeDroid ROM 3.0.8.2 with A2SD+. I currently have an 8GB Sd card with 1GB EXT 3 partition, however I would like to swap this for a 32GB card. I have the new card and have partitioned it as before but with a 2GB EXT 3 partition and have copied all my files across from the old card, however when I put it in the phone it will not start up, it just hangs at the boot screen. Do I need to reflash the sd-alignment file and if so would this mean I had to reflash the rom too? I would like to avoid this if possible.
If anyone could help me and advise me of the easiest way of doing this I would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Sarah
it doesn't work because you haven't you haven't copied over the sd-ext contents to your new sd card. your new 32gb card has a blank sd-ext.
- put your old sd card back in, then make a nandroid backup.
- copy the 'clockworkmod' folder (or whichever folder contains your nandroid backups) to your new sd card
- full wipe and nandroid restore, this will fill up the sd-ext partition on the 32gb card
i would recommend doing all the partitioning and backing up using 4ext recovery if possible (requires s-off)

I agree. Working with 4ext is much more comfortable and it's partitioning is better. Plus you can partition your sd-ext as ext4.
