[Q] Format sd card as ext4 in order to put files on sd card which are over 4GB

Hello,
I know the sd card is standard formated as fat32, but fat32 has one limitation and that is that is that it can not store files over 4GB.
That means that most 720p movies will not fit on it because off the limitation. I wonder how I can get the sd card to ext4, when I booted in gparted live usb it could not find the sd card. I have succeeded partition it in ext4 using minitool partition wizard home edition. Now I only wonder if the phone does not overrule it, I have right now RCMix3D Runny 4.0

[Q] For a 2nd partition on my SDcard should I use Fat32 or Ext (2,3,4) ?

I have a 64GB Class 6 card, and was thinking of partitioning my sdcard. My questions are the following:
Which is best fat32, ext 2,3,4?
Is it worth partitioning my sdcard?
Thinks that all for now.... if anyone else has additional comments other then whats above that you think may be helpful I would appreciate those. Thank you all in advance.

I wonder that as well..

I have a 16gb that has a 2gb partition for use with Link2SD so giving me over 2gb storage for Apps and Games! I use ext3 as my Mac wont recognise the second partition and open it as a storage drive when i plug my XPlay in, Just the 14gb partition opens as thats Fat 32! Dont know the difference between them (Know Ext is linux!). Just makes it more tidy for me personally

ext is better than fat, if you kernel support ext4 use it (if i remember correctly doomkernel can), if no use ext3 (should be supported from every kernel)

your partition SD CARD

Show your Partition sd card please...

Mine :
Sd card class 6 - 16gb

ext partition is usually used if you want extend your internal memory like using link2sd or other tools.
i don't think it's necessary with our phone, because it has 1g+ internal. you can simply move the apps to sdcard to free some internal mem.
CWM if i'm not wrong, by default creates ext3 partition.

thanks 4 ur explaination...

how to?

See this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363

And How to do for move my apps in my sd card ?

It's impossible with swap. You can use only link2sd

I'll create a partition (ext2, 9GB for apps and games data, 4GB for photos/music/videos) with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
Then, how to move apps in the 9GB partition??

So with Link2Sd i choose an app, then I move to partition of 9GB?
And if i partition my sd card in ext2, there will be 2 partitions, isn't it?

Yes but the 2nd partition can be used only with link2sd

Ok, because I swapped my memories and now my sd card is my usb storage, I have to partition my sd card (which is usb storage) in ext2, then I move with link2sd etc..?

Yes I have the memory swap but also the 2nd partition ext2 and it works fine

Ok, I summarize:
I have a 16GB SD Card partitionned in ext2 (one of 9GB, another of 4GB)
I have the memory swap.
So: I'll go in Link2sd, it will ask me about my partitions (I choose ext2), then it will create a link so I could move my apps to the 2nd partition of 9GB?

Yes but to move the app you have to use only link2sd not another app

Yes I know
Thank you very very [............] very much!!!!!

Move apps to USB storage

Hi
I will swap memories on my Ace 2.
But I would know how to move apps on USB storage (which will be my SD Card).
If i part my sd card in ext2, can I make 2 partitions (9GB & 5GB) ? And does Link2SD will "know" that my USB Storage is my SD Card?
Thanks

1: In system settings select apps/[name]/"move to SD", or in Link2SD use the button with the same name. This moves part of the app to the internal (external after swapping) FAT partition and doesn't work for every app.
2: In Link2SD use the "symlink" features and the app will always go to the external ext2/3/4 partition.
